The Coach (A The Voice/ The Script Fan Fic) Book Two.

Stop ... Battle Time.

Danny's POV:

Rose came.on stage a nervous bundle of hyperactive joy. Not a great combination.

Alice came on stage also nervous and under confident.

Also not a good combo.

The lights faded and the spotlight came onto them.

I gave them both a thumbs up.

Out of the corner of my eye i saw Charlie mouth 'Good Luck' to both girls.

The lights came back on and the music started.

" Come on skinny love, just last the year

Pour a little salt, we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer," Rose sang.

I told my heart to wreck it all

Cut off all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my,my, my, my,my, my, my, my,

Right at the moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient," Alice sang.

And I told you to be fine

And I told you to be balanced

And I told you to be kind

And in the morning, I'll be with you

But it will be a different kind

'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines," Rose sang

" Come on skinny love, what happened here?

Suckle on the hope in light brassiere," Alice sang.

" My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Sullen load is full, so slow on the split," Rose sang.

" And I told you to be patient

And I told you to be fine

And I told you to be balanced

And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted

Then who the hell was I?

'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges

And at the end of all your lines," They both sang.

Who will love you?" Rose sang

" Who will fight?" Alice sang.

" Who will fall, far behind?" Rose sang.

" Come on skinny love

Oh, my, my,my, my, my, my,my, my, my, my

Oh, my, my

Oh, my, my, my, my,

my, my, my, my," They both sang.

The music stopped and Charlie and I were on our feet.

God almighty i have a tough decision to make. Holly came on stage.

"Our first battle of series Two! Lets go to Charlie ... Charlie what did you make of that battle?" Holly asked.

I turned to look at her. She was still standing.

"By the fact that I am still standing i think you can tell what I thought of that. Birdy is so hard to sing along to let alone get it right. Rose I love the emotion behind your voice.

I think it could have been a little mofre powerful to match Alice's powerful lungs. Amd its basically vice versa.

Alice I thought your power was amazing for such a technically advanced song however I though yiu were lacking on the emotional front," Charlie said.

Both looked pleased with their comments and Charlie settled herself back down.

"Will?" Holly asked.

"That ... Was fresh dope and super mega fantastic all in one!" Will said.

"Uh excuse me Will ... I don't go stealing your phrases so dont steal mine!" Charlie said.

That got the crowd laughing.

"Tom? If you had to chose who do you think you woukd take through to the knockouts?" Holly asked.

"Rose," He said simply.

"Why?" Holly asked.

"Why? An interesting question. Let us see... She has power range and emotion. All the things that make an artist an artist. All the things Charlie had and has!" Tom said.

Charlie grinned.

"Okay so Danny it now all falls down to you. Who are you going to chose?" Holly asked.

The music played and the flashlights return.

Ohh shit.

I hate this. I looked at Charlie for support and she simply shrugged.

Gee thanks for that one Charlie.

Thanks a lot.

"Rose. Absolitely fantastic. Range power emotion," I said.

Rose grinned.

"Alice. Also amazing... Amazing Alice! Range power emotion once again. I don't know who to

chose. Its like Charlie and Karl all over again!" I said.

"The winner of this battle is ..... " I trailed off.

I looked at Charlis.

She mouthed Rose.

"Rose," I said.

Music to some unknown song played and i went up and hugged them.

I'm so glad that battle is over.

Now let Charlie face the fire and pressure of the Battles. I wish her the best of luck.
