Officials Thought Me Wrong

Chapter 28 - duets

Madi's POV
__________

As Madeline was finishing up her first song, I was taken aback by her crazy range. I mean, how did she reach that note? I really had no knowledge of her song selection at the moment. As she finished the song, the crowd applauded. I looked to my teammates and they were surprised. "You didn't tell me she was that good." Lilly said. "Yeah." I said. "She's better than me." "Why say that?" Lilly asked. "Well, she's more experienced than me." I said. "You gotta back me up on that."

"You guys will do great." Bria said. "Let's see if we can regroup with the alliance." "Wait." Lilly said. "Allie is telling me something." She thought hard. "What is it?" I asked. "Two new members." she said. "Allie said their names are Clara and Sam. Oh my God. No way. They are helping us." "Perfect." I said. "More help. Now, Madeline is gonna sing her next song."

Annabelle's POV

I looked from the back and listened to Madeline's singing. She wore a purple and white jacket with jeans and combat boots. I have to admit, I am jealous. I know I shouldn't be, but we were sworn enemies since our childhood. She looks completely different from the last time I saw her. She actually dyed her hair auburn. Freaking auburn. Like I would ever dye my hair brown. Talk about a copycat. However, I have to admit. If I didn't know she changed her appearance, I would have been not really noticing for the most part.

The song ended on a good note. I couldn't believe I was clapping for her. Shannon and Kelli teleported to me. "She's okay, I guess." Shannon said. "She's better than Madi." I said. "That's for sure." Shannon's face brightened up for a split second. "At least someone who can agree with me about Madi on this one." Shannon said. "We'll see who is better since the next song Madi and Maddie will be singing together."

"Ha, I'd love to see them try." Shannon said. "Me too actually." I said. "I sing as well, but I prefer not to because of reasons." I pointed to Madeline as she was singing to a recorded instrumental. "Oh, your voice makes Madeline go wolfie on people, huh?" Kelli asked. "Yup." I said. "Even though I would love to do that right now, there are times when you don't want to be noticed this way." Soon, the song ended and we clapped just to blend in. "Okay, this next song I have practiced with one of my friends I met all the way from Penobscot, Maine." Madeline said. "She is singing a song with me tonight along with two other people whom you will see as this event goes on. Now singing Unsteady by X Ambassadors with me, here is Madison Treble." I heard the Lady Blaze scream as Madi walked up next to Madeline. Madi did look like her, but she looked different because she wore a hot pink flannel shirt and capris with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Madeline's hair was down.

Madi's POV

I walked up on stage to hear my team screaming. Madeline handed me a microphone. "Ready?" She whispered. "Ready." I said. The music started and I took part one. "🎵Hold, hold on. Hold onto me cause I'm a little unsteady. A little unsteady.🎵" I listened to Madeline singing her part and soon, we were already through the verse. I also looked to see people smiling at me as I sang.

We went into the second verse. Her voice was so powerful, yet I was trying to be comfortable. She smiled at me again as she was urging me to push my limits. I smiled back as we went into the second chorus. She had the melody and I had the harmony. I managed to reach the notes and succeeded. She then did something we didn't practice. I just went along and managed to harmonize with that surprisingly.

The song ended. I hugged her and walked off the stage. She quickly turned off her mic. "Great job, Madi." She said. "Thank you." I said as she then turned her mic back on. "Thank you." She said. "I love duets. You can just choose a friend and you two can make up harmonies whenever the heck you want. Now here is another who would like to try. Singing Fight Song by Rachel Platten, here is Rachel Perri." The crowd screamed and so did I. Rachel walked up and took the microphone.

The music started and Rachel started with the verse. "🎶 Like a small boat on te ocean, sending big waves into motion.🎶" Madeline continued. "🎵Like how a single word can make a heart open. I might only be one match, but I can make an explosion.🎵"

Rachel's POV

Now, as Madeline was singing the bridge, I added harmony. Her crazy range was incredible as we went into the chorus. I don't want people to judge me, but I wanted to sing harmony. And it is fun. She started the second verse and managed to get through it. I sang the second part of the second verse

Then as soon as we got to the bridge before the last chorus, we both had our individual singing parts. Then as I sang my part of the last chorus, she harmonized and found her way up the full octave. I was really stunned. She finished the song with her harmony at the end.

We ended the song and the audience clapped and I saw Madi and our friends screaming. We hugged and I gave her the microphone. I walked off the stage smiling and my teammates hugged me like they haven't seen me in years. I have to admit, it was so much fun.

Now, there was Jason left to sing with me. I got the recording ready as Jason was getting his headset ready. "Alright, we have one more duet and then I am flying solo for the rest of the concert." I said. "Singing with me Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, Jason Bernard." The audience cheered. However when he walked up on stage, the girls started screaming. "Oh and if anyone is asking, she's mine." Jason said. The girls sighed.

The music started and Madeline started the first verse. "🎵We'll do it all. Everything, on our own.🎵" "♩We don't need anything or anyone.♩" We went into the chorus and I harmonized. "🎵♩If I lay here. If I just lay here, will you lie with me and just forget the world?♩🎵"

We sang the second verse and the chorus again. We sounded good together. The song then came to an end. Everyone screamed. I held up Madeline's arm as more screams echoed through the room. I'd have to say that was the best duet I have ever sang.
