The Singing Competition: A Tooniverse Story

Chapter 19: Amber's Song

Darla turned around and saw Amber. Amber stood her ground. "Well! It's the princess to the rescue! How convenient!" Darla laughed. "You'll never defeat me!!!" Darla boomed. "You'll see! You'll all see!" Darla shot lasers at Amber but Amber ducked. A microphone rolled to Amber and she picked it up. Bella was still stumped but knew what Amber was doing. She nodded at Amber. Suddenly Amber sang:

La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
I like your smile, I like your vibe, I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way you're such a star
But that's not why I love you
Hey, do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you
Is you being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
I like the way you misbehave when we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool when I am complicated
But that's not why I love you
Hey, do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you
Is you being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
Yeah, oh, oh
Even though we didn't make it through
I am always here for you, you
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you
Is you being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
La-la, la-la-la-la (oh, oh)
La-la, la-la-la (that's why I love you)
La-la, la-la-la-la (oh, oh)
La-la, la-la-la (that's why I love you)

Suddenly, The Diamond of Love started cracking. "What?!?" Darla said. Then the diamond heart shattered into a million pieces. Everyone was back to normal. "Noooooooo!!!" Darla cried as magic swirled around her and a bright light lit up the room. The light faded and everyone was comforting each other. Amber ran to check on Alberto who was lying on the ground. "Alberto?" Amber said. She turned him over as Alberto was still unconscious. The group of friends rushed over. Sofia and James along with Giulia and Luca rushed over to Amber. "Is he...gone?" Giulia asked. Amber started crying,"Alberto, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. Tom was right. You are the one for me and I do love you. Please don't leave me. We all need you. I need you." There was still no answer from Alberto. Amber cried over Alberto as everyone sighed sadly. Suddenly Alberto coughed. "Amber?" Alberto hoarsely said. "Alberto?" Amber questioned. "Could you please let me breathe?" Alberto teasingly said. "Alberto!" Amber cheered as she gave him a big bear hug. Everyone cheered including Tom and Hades. All the males rushed back to their significant others, hugged and kissed them. Just then, Darla emerged from the rubble. Alberto stood up and guarded Amber as Darla came close. "You ruined everything for me!!! Now you'll pay!!! Max!!!" Darla hollered for her butler. Max came running over looking sorry. "What happened?!?" Darla hollered at him. Suddenly Max had a girl next to him and grew upset with Darla. "Max has a girlfriend?!?" Darla questioned. The police pulled in to the auditorium. "There she is officer! My cousin doesn't deserve to win," said a voice. Darla turned around. It was Eloise. "Eloise?!" Darla called out. "Take her away boys!" Chief Wiggum said as Chase and Bonkers dragged Darla to the squad car. "Wait! I can explain! This is all her fault!!!" Darla pointed at Amber. "It's juvenile prison for you young lady," Joe Swanson said as he locked Darla up in the squad car. "Way to go Amber!" James said as Sofia and her siblings hugged. Sofia mouthed a thank you to Chernabella as Chernabella smiled. Hades sighed as he saw everyone with their loved ones. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around. "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Eris said. "Hey I'm the Lord of the Dead, I get scared all the time," Hades said. "I wanted to say that was a brave thing you did back there," Eris said. "It's no problem I..." Suddenly Eris kissed Hades on the lips. Hades returned the favor. Tom watched them as he rubbed his arm sadly. "Tom?" a voice said behind him. Tom turned around and saw Amber with Alberto. "Go on," Amber told Alberto. Alberto walked up to Tom. "I wanted to say I'm sorry for calling you a jerk all this time and thank you for helping us when we needed you," Alberto told Tom. Alberto held out his hand. "So? Friends?" Alberto asked. Tom smiled and shook Alberto's hand. He noogied Alberto as Alberto laughed. "Okay okay! Not that rough!" Alberto said as Amber smiled happily. Ercole noticed what was going on. Chase brought Ercole a ticket. "Here you go Mr. Ercole sir!" Chase said. "Oh I wanted to introduce you to someone," Chase said. Ercole looked up and saw a beautiful girl coming his way. "Ercole, this is my old owner Ryder's cousin Gem Stone," Chase smiled. "Nice to meet you Mr. Ercole," Gem said. Ercole was lovestruck. "You two have fun," Chase winked as he went away with the police. "I'm so glad we're all back together!" Sofia said. "Agreed Sofia," Amber said. "You know what would make this day a lot more fun?" Alberto said. "What?" Amber replied. "A final musical number! Hit it!" Alberto called out.
