Enjoy the Night

Gravitation doesn't belong to me, but this story does. I hope you enjoy it.

As soon as they were done, they were met with silence. Most people in the audience had doubted that they actually would have been able to accomplish the mash-up. But yet they did.

One person started, two people, three, five, ten, 15, and soon, the whole room was clapping. They were amazed at the two's ability to not just combine the songs, but make them sound so natural and soulful.

The two singers on stage looked at each other, got up from their individual seats, and took a bow both with bright smiles on their faces.

Present

Author's POV

As the crowd was clapping for them, the owner walked up to Shuichi and asked him to sing one of his songs. At first, he was unsure of whether he should since he was tired, but with a little convincing from Kyo, he was completely up for the idea. But before that, the two singers decided to do just one more song for the crowd. 

#Play song (Shuichi, Kyoko, both)

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
Been wanting my cake, I need it too, wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew seep it was confusing
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
Ooh, hit the lottery, oh wee
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
It was like winning a huge meet
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep

Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing

Well, that's nothing
Now I ain't much of a poet, but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it, 'cause you never know when it could all be over
Tomorrow so I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, Do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way
You're brought up?)

I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled upon Jeff VanVonderen

'Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head
You trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Well, that's nothing
Call me crazy, but I had this vision

One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at
MCs, blood get spilled and I take it back
To the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played at
Pumped the villian and shit that say back
To the kids who played 'em
I ain't here to save the fucking children
But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
Straw in the gold chump I will spend Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
(Get along with..) Get along with the voices inside of my head
(You're trying to..) You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
(And you think I'm..) And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Well, that's nothing

"There will be a two-minute break and after that Shuichi will be singing one of his songs for us, so don't go anywhere," the owner said.

The crowd cheered out of excitement and just like the owner had said, no one had got up to leave. They all wanted to see their favorite Pinkett perform. Since the two-minute break had started, Kyoko and Shuichi both walked off the stage and walked towards their group. The two sat down with a huff next to Hiro, who spoke up after they had gotten settled.

"Wow, you two don't stop amazing me every time. I mean, I know you could do it, but I didn't think at the minute without planning."

Kyoko and Shuichi turned to each other and laughed.

"You see Hiro, my dear friend, we did plan."

"How?"

Kyoko and Shuichi looked at each other one more time before saying in cohesion, "Telepathically." Hiro looked at both of them and burst out laughing, "You two are something else when you're put together."

The three soon struck up a conversation, trying to catch up, while Ren just stood in the corner watching all three of them interact. They seemed to be in their own world, that they didn't even realize the curious looks that they received from the others who came along with them. But out of everyone, there was one person whose curiosity got the best of them.....
