Cleopatra: The new ninja

Chapter 13

"Are you ready, Cleo?"

Cleo strummed her guitar. One of the strings broke. "Um, give me a minute."

Cleo, April, and Korai were all in a sound booth that Korai had found for them, using her many contacts.

While waiting for the guitar to be fixed, Korai asked," How can she even play the guitar? Doesn't it take ten fingers?"

April shrugged. "Cleo is full of surprises. Like you. You cook?"

Korai, surprisingly, blushed.

"By the way, don't forget to make the cookies have Space Heroes characters on them."

Korai was about to ask why when Cleo interrupted with her saying "Ready!"

"All right." April fiddled with some buttons and lever to get the sound right. She pushed a button to start recording. "Any time now."

(Francesca Battistelli, Angel By Your Side)

I can't say that everything's okay

'Cause I can see the tears you're crying

And I can't promise to take the pain away

But you can know I won't stop trying

I'll be the angel by your side

I will get you through the night

I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time

And you think you've lost the fight

Let me be the angel

The angel by your side

I know it feels like you're running out of faith

'Cause it's so hard to keep believing

But if I can bring a smile back to your face

If for a moment, you'll forget all about it

I'll be the angel by your side

I will get you through the night

I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time

And you think you've lost the fight

Let me be the angel

The angel by your side

'Cause this won't be the last time

You'll need a little hope

But I want to be the first to let you know

I'll be the angel by your side

I will get you through the night

I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time

And you think you've lost the fight

Let me be the angel

The angel by your side

"Wowwy. Wow. I can't believe how good you are!" Korai couldn't believe her ears.

April was silent. Korai turned to her.
