Within the town of Silverstone Rapids, Shocaster; 15 year old Emma Coppola reclined in the chair, hands clenched at the arms of the chair as the tattoo artist was finishing up on her ink. She looked up to see her male friend, Isabel Dawnes, staring at her in concern as he managed to give her a smile. Emma smiled back but grimaced due to the pain. Later on; Emma walked in her boyfriend’s house and smiles down at the patch where her tattoo on her shoulder was drying. Emma reached her boyfriend’s room as she opened the door. What she was about to see she wished she didn’t see: Her boyfriend, Jordan Slyne, was shirtless and making out with another girl! Jordan and the girl looked up in shock! But Ashley was shocked and slams the door, she felt a white rush of anger swirling as it becomes like a tornado inside of her. Emma begins to trash the living room: Pictures of Emma and Jordan, flips over couches, throws vases and ruined furniture. She threw around other stuff as she finally sank to the ground, sobbing at how she felt betrayed! Just then, there was a door close and Jordan’s voice calling out her name, “Emma?” He was saying. But Emma ran out before he could spot her. Later, Emma sadly walked near a large puddle of water under a bridge and sat on a hill like ledge; she hugged her knees but let her elbows propped on her knees and wipes her tears away. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for herself: How could she be so stupid? She peeled the patch away to reveal a rose in a shape of heart with thorns like veins. Emma just got this tattoo as a symbol of her love for Jordan but since what happened, it was like an irremovable mark that would soon torture her and can’t go and remove it. Jordan Slyne broke her heart and she can’t handle the ache inside of her: She should’ve paid attention to the warning signs—his excuses, his calls he never replied back. Ashley wished she knew sooner! Once she came to her senses; Emma staggered to her feet and pulled out her cell phone to call her best friend, Isabel Dawnes. “Hello?” Isabel asked. “Isabel, it’s me.” Emma said with her voice choked up. “Em? What’s wrong? Are you OK? Where are you?” Isabel inquired. “Jordan…he…” Emma said. She broke down crying. Later after picking her up; Isabel heard what happened. Isabel was shocked and she did her best to comfort her however she knew that Sterne was a sleaze bag from the moment she saw him. But she didn’t want to be tough on Emma, she’s been through a lot: Emma’s mother is presumably deceased after her plane crash and there were no sign of any survivors but investigators will not stop searching for Taylor Coppola for she was and is a respected activist. At school…Jordan tries to talk to Emma but she refused to listen to him. She was done with him and his lies! But the girl Jordan was cheating on name Augusta Hathaway as she taunts her about how much he wasn’t good for her. Emma is overcome with anxiety as she runs off and reached her locker as she tore everything that Sterne gave her, pictures of him with hearts that she tore apart and wept quietly. Francis comes up to her, “Em~ma! Forget about her, she’s a bitch! You don’t need a guy like Jordan.” He claimed. “I know but he was my first love and he betrayed me like this! She had no right to make me miserable like that! What do you think I should do?” Emma claimed. “I—I don’t know, you just need to get away from this guy. You really don’t need that jerk, he wasn’t good to you anyway!” Francis replied. Emma scoffed, “Don’t you understand? I’m never gonna find anyone who will understand my poor, tortured teenage soul!” She said sarcastically. “Emma, he’s right. You don’t need Francis. He’s an asshole.” Isabel agreed. Francis tried to approached Emma, “Emma, I’m so—” He started to say but Isabel got in his way to say: “Leave her alone, she doesn’t want to talk to you!” Jordan tries to get pass her, “Move! I want to talk to Emma!” He said rudely. Francis got in his way, “Back off, now!” He said firmly. Jordan stared at him, he couldn’t believe he had the nerve to talk down at him like this. “Screw you!” Jordan snapped, shoving Francis away. He turns and walks off but not before punching a locker, startling some people. A teacher saw this and tries to talk to Sterne but he ignores the interrogating teacher. Ashley sighed in dismay and shook her head. Despite the fact that Ashley was a good student at best however she is emotionally exaggerated, she’s been like this ever since her mother is presumably dead. Her father is a food critic and always made food references. Francis has a crush on Emma but he ends up insulting her and beats himself up for it later. Isabel knew he had a crush on Emma and does her best to give her some helpful advice to talk to her. Emma is also friends with a girl name Harriett ‘Hattie’ Warmheart. Hattie Warmheart was a girl who gets easily offended. When she is told something, she always demanded with: “What does that supposed to mean?” If she is told something, she would say in response: “God! You’re so hurtful!” or “You guys are so suckful! Ugh, I wish I was elsewhere!” The student body regrets setting off this firecracker, it’s not a pretty picture. Ashley recalled the day she heard a phone call as she and Francis rushed over to the crew who tells her that the plane crashed and there are no survivors. Ashley broke down, “Nooo!” She sobbed. Speedy put her arms around her and comforted her, “It’s OK Ash, I’m here…I’m here…” Once Emma told her dad; he seemed to take it well but seems to act strangely, talking a bunch of food nonsense. Emma worries for her father and wonders if her mother could be alive. Meanwhile; Emma’s mother Taylor Coppola wakes up on a deserted island as she was the only survivor. But she was fighting to live and wasn’t going to stop until she could see her daughter and husband once again. “ASHLEY, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!!!! I’M GOING TO LIVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! MY HEART BEATS LIKE A HAMMER, I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN!!!” All that screaming made her lungs feel like burning, battery acid. She was so exhausted that she passed out, unknown to her that a helicopter approached her….The next day, it was Emma’s 16th birthday but she was feeling a little sad. “What’s wrong sweetie?” Henry asked. Emma shrugged, “I don’t know, I just miss mom.” She said. Henry gives her a withered look, “I know sweetie, but she’s in a better place. You know that right?” He asked. Emma nodded, “Yeah, I do.” She replied. “Cheer up, if wishes were omelets—we’d all be filled with cheese and small piece of ham.” Henry replied. Emma smiled fakely, “You know exactly what to say.” She said. She hugs her dad but wonders if her dad has gone off the deep end. At school…Emma got to see Francis and Isabel. “What’s up guys?” Emma asked. Francis greeted her, “Happy Birthday Em, sorry we didn’t get anything for your birthday.” Heather elbowed him, “Speedy!” She rebuked. Emma defended him, “No, it’s fine. I’m not crazy about presents like I used to.” She replied. Speedy feels better, “It’ll get better Emma, I know it will.” He replied. Emma smiled, “Thanks.” She said. While walking to her locker, Emma found graffiti in lipstick that said: “CLUELESS TRAMP” and a drawing of a plane crash. Ashley clutched at her locket, “Mother!” She gasped. Augusta Hathaway sneered at her from behind with her friends. “Nice decorations Cop-polly. Jordan helped you with that? Oh wait, no—he just cheated on you!” She retorted. Augusta and her posse laughed. Emma glared at them before she power-walked away but she nearly slipped until a hand caught her and pulled her up safely! Emma turned to see a stoic but good looking fellow with dark eyes looking down at her. “You OK?” The guy asked. “Yeah, thanks. How did you do that?” Emma asked breathlessly. “How did I do that?” The guy replied with a smirk. Emma was then taken aback by his reply with an opposite question and watched him walk away. Francis and Isabel had witnessed this and was upset. “Who the hell was that guy?” Francis demanded. Isabel was too speechless to respond. Emma learns the mysterious boy she encountered was Holleb Lovett—he’s the typical mysterious boy who is the new kid. But he seemed dangerous and keeps to himself. Augusta and her posse would gawk at him however when he looks at them, they would go against the lockers as if to swoon. Holleb looks away and continues to read his book, that pretty much pissed off Augusta so much that he was unimpressed with her and her friends! But with Emma? He seems different around her. Emma looks at him and locks eyes when he glances at her. “Holleb, is there anything wrong?” Emma asked. Holleb smirked at her, “Is there anything right?” He quipped. Emma rolled her eyes, she then stormed off. Holleb stared after and stops her with an apologetic look. “Got you something.” Holleb said, handing her something sparkling. “What is it?” Emma asked. “A locket.” Holleb said. Emma is surprised, “How did you know?” She asked. Holleb gave other smirk, “How did I know?” He said. Emma opened the locket and smiles, “It’s empty, perfect.” She joked. Holleb puts a flat gem and closes the locket. “Now it’s full.” Holleb replied. Emma was surprised and smiled, “And so is my heart, thank you.” She said. “You’re welcome, Eva.” Holleb replied. Emma stared at him and corrected him, “My name’s Emma.” Holleb nodded wretchedly, “Yeah, you are.” He said. Emma stared at him, “What?” Do you like me?” She quipped darkly. “Do I not like you?” Holleb asked with a sad smile but drops it and walked off. A week later; Emma and Francis are casted into a commercial to promote a product. Sadly, Hattie learnt she had not been casted and stormed off while whining: “You people are so suckful, I wish I was elsewhere!” Before production, Emma asked Francis if her teeth were OK and he confirms that they were fine. “Is my breath minty fresh?” Emma asked. Francis scoffed, “No!” He said while laughing but then realized he insulted Emma and apologized. Meanwhile; Jordan watched Francis and Emma, he walks over as he uses the light prop and hits Francis in the head violently—accusing him of trying to flirt with Emma. Emma was shocked, trying to get Jordan to stop but he doesn’t and security had to come in and stop him. Since Francis was out, they had to find a replacement. It was then director turned and noticed: “What about that guy?” He asked, pointing over to the direction where Holleb was. Holleb was reading and the director asked him to join in the commercial so he does. Holleb and Emma did a good job however Emma was suspicious about Holleb. Another week, Hattie was giving out invitation for a party she was having after school. During this time; Emma was talking to Francis and Isabel as she decides to do some sort of event after school. “That’s Hattie’s party you know, it’s today.” Isabel reminded. “Damn, I forgot.” Groaned Emma. It was then Jordan’s little brother Phillip begins harassing Emma however Francis tries to play hero and puts a stop to Phillip. Francis was beaten up by Phillip who is nothing but a sociopath as he tries to cut up Francis’s face and skin nevertheless Francis got away. Phillip laughed as everyone looked shocked at this evil kid that was Jordan’s little brother. At home when school ended; Emma was putting on make-up and looked up to see her dad standing in the doorway. She asked him if he heard any word about her mom but Henry hasn’t. “I want to believe Mom is still out there, I really missed her.” Emma replied. “I know honey, a cat has kittens doesn’t make them biscuits y’know.” Henry retorted. Emma stares at her dad, “What?” She asked. Henry looked embarrassed as he excused himself, “Nothing, I think it’s my medication. Sorry.” He said. And he turns to leave her room. “OK then.” Emma replied. While walking to the party; Emma saw Phillip trying to harass her when Francis steps in and Phillip was going to kill him almost however Holleb appeared and made him stop. Phillip is upset, Emma is surprised by this act so she tends Francis’s injuries of a bloodied nose and scraps. Holleb took her home while Isabel attends to the party. She was surprised to see she was the only one there so she makes it fun for both herself and Hattie. It was then Emma’s father has gone mental when his accidentally cut off his toe and is bleeding profusely but Emma called an ambulance but the toe is nowhere in sight. While looking for it; Francis looks around for the toe while saying in a panicking tone of voice, “Must find that toe…where is it? WHERE IS IT?” Holleb stood in the window with the bloodied toe in hand. “This is what you’re looking for?” He asked. “WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?!” Francis exclaimed. Holleb sneered, “Where did I find it?” He teased. Francis grabs the toe and demanded while running away, “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” In a great success; Henry got his toe surgically back on him but he breaks down crying as he can’t seem to handle the fact that he failed Emma and misses his wife so much! Emma felt bad for his dad and comforts him at the very best. Meanwhile, Hattie was trying to compete in the gymnastics competition but was involved in an accident however she was discharged and went to the competition. She did a poor performance as she got low points; Hattie was upset that she ran off crying. One day; Emma heard the phone ring and answers it, “Coppola Residence?” She listened and replied back, “Yes, I’m Emma. My father’s not here but…” She paused and her voice became soft, “What?...You found my mom?! Oh, yeah…Sure…sure…Yes, we’ll be there…Thank you…” She hung up. For a moment; Ashley felt lightheaded. This has to be a joke, a dream perhaps but felt the tears of joy in her eyes. She pulls out her cell phone and calls her father, then she said: “Dad, it’s Emma. Guess what? Mom’s alive!” Later; Emma and her dad waited in anticipation with Isabel, Francis and Hattie. Then, Taylor Coppola appears alive and well! Emma & Henry embraced her with emotional relief as Taylor has returns home. Once they got back from the airport; Emma, her parents and her friends piled out of the car; laughing and talking while heading inside of the house. Jordan watched Emma from the inside of his vehicle, a look of anger in his eyes. Seeing how happy she is without him in her life! Emma had a dream last night where she is walking down the school halls and noticed everyone sneering, and then Augusta called out: “Look, it’s Miss Clueless! She was Jordan’s dumb girlfriend and now she’s not because she’s Clue-less!” Everyone laughed and jeered, “Clueless!” over and over again. Emma is tortured by this and woke up screaming but she is relieved that it was only a dream. Ashley looked down at the tattoo on her right shoulder as she saw it was a crippling pain of a broken heart. She knew she wasn’t a little kid anymore, she couldn’t go to her parents and tell them about the monsters under her bed or in her closet. Emma knew she had to deal with this on her own. She had to be strong, she wasn’t going to let a bitch like Augusta Hathaway or a cheating jerkass like Jordan Slyne to hold her down. In the morning, Emma asked her dad how her mother is doing and her father mentions that she is doing OK but she is fazed by her whereabouts. At school; her friends asked Emma about her mother and Emma confirms that she’s doing good. “You seem less sad, I guess.” Francis said. “You guess?” joked Emma. She and her friends laughed as well as talk before the bell ring and they departed separately to their classes. As she walking to her class; she felt someone touched her shoulder. Emma turned around and saw it was her ex, Jordan. “Emma, I need to talk to you!” Jordan begged. Emma pulls away, “I don’t have to listen.” She debated. “Please, just listen! It’s about Augusta—” argued Jordan. “What do you want to tell me? She was a hook up? Fat chance!” Emma retorted. “Just listen for a sec!” Jordan demanded, raising his voice. “Sterne, let go! You’re hurting me!” Emma yelled. Jordan caused her to trip as Emma nearly fell down the staircase but once again, someone caught her. She looks up and is surprised to see Holleb! “Oh my god, Holleb! I’m sorry, I didn’t see you!” Emma gasped. “Did you see me anywhere?” Holleb said with another smirk of his. Emma rolled her eyes, but Holleb managed to compose himself: “Sorry, it’s a habit I guess.” He said. “Of what?” Emma snapped. “Seeing your reaction, I guess.” Holleb said. There was a whistling sound that got Emma and Holleb’s attention. There were four other guys staring down at them, Emma is surprised by this. “Hey Holly! Where you’ve been?” said the second guy. Holleb glares at him, “Does it matter?” He said. The second guy noticed Emma and grins, “Who’s your friend?” He asked. Emma narrowed her eyes, “Didn’t realize you had your own fan club, gotta go.” She said in an aloof voice. Emma took her things and walked off. “Thanks a lot Holly! You let her get away!” The first guy complained. “Shut up.” Holleb said coldly. “Hey, girl like that would be worth my time and I wouldn’t let her get away.” The first guy of the group said. “You wouldn’t let any pretty girl get away.” The second guy retorted. The third guy smiled. “True to that.” He said. The fourth guy snickered quietly at first guy’s disbelief reaction. At lunch; Emma was sitting, eating and reading while waiting for Isabel and Francis when she felt shadows upon her, “Hey, it’s Clueless! You better listen; Jordan here wants to tell you something.” Augusta remarked. Sterne sighs and straightens himself before he spoke, “Emma, I’m sorry. OK? I’m really sorry for what I did.” Emma sighed, putting down her book and looked at him square in the eye: “Look, Jordan, I forgive you are but it’s over between us. Sorry, I just can’t.” She said. Augusta gets in Emma’s face, “Don’t be such a wimp! Stop ignoring him!” She hissed. Robin smirked. “JUST TAKE ME BACK!!!” Jordan begged, Emma didn’t know what to do until she saw the first guy that was calling out to Holleb earlier appeared to her rescue. “Hey man, leave her be! All right?” The guy retorted. Sterne moves away from him, “Stay out of this!” He exclaimed. The guy was shocked, “Whoa, is he your ex? Why so serious Jordan? Lighten up!” He joked. Robin laughed, “Ha, good one!” Augusta whirled around and shouted: “Shut up, Robin!” Holleb appeared as he said coldly, “No, you shut up. Get out of here or you’ll regret it.” Augusta, Robin and Jordan are startled so they turned away with disgusted looks on their faces. The first guy grins but Ashley glares at him and looks annoyed. The guys are irked by this. “I suppose a thank you would be nice.” The second guy said. “I could’ve handle it myself, thank you! What do you think I am, a damsel in distress? I don’t need a man to hold my hand all the friggin’ time!” Emma declared. Holleb and his retinue were surprised, they are floored that this girl had attitude. Emma felt bad, so she backtracked by saying: “But I wouldn’t mind a guy holding my heart…” She smiled nervously, feeling guilty for being quite mean. Just in time; Isabel and Francis nudged over to the guys. “’Scuse us, please.” Isabel said. “Emma’s friends coming through.” Francis quipped. Holleb and the boys walked back to their seats.“Damn, she’s got spunk!” The first guy said. “She’s a tough cookie, it’s like she’s unbreakable.” The third guy replied. “Not for long.” The fourth guy answered, glancing at her. In lab class; Emma and Francis were partners as they were working with chemicals but an accident was caused on Francis’s part but Ashley helped him put it out. After school; Emma was planning on going with Speedy and Heather but then she was approached by Holleb and his retinue. The first guy was about to speak but Emma confronted him, “Ugh, what do you want now?” She demanded. The guy held his hands up, “Whoa, easy. You’re Ashley right? I’m…” He started to say but Ashley responds back, “Don’t! Let me guess, I know who Holleb Lovett is but you boys are… Jet Parker, Canden Xavier, Abdiel Dawson and Woodrow Shire. No, I’m not a mind reader—Isabel told me about you guys so….” Abdiel glares at her, “You caused a chemical spill in lab class.” He jibed. “It was an accident.” Emma claimed. Jet grinned, “Ah, don’t be modest—it was awesome!” He exclaimed. Abdiel gave Jet a withering look, “No, those kinds of things aren’t awesome to us.” He said. Jet pouted, “Hmm-ph!” He moaned. “I know you think so but not me, sorry.” Canden said. “Hey, he’s a force of nature!” Woodrow remarked. “Force of nature? Ha! I’m a wild child!” laughed Jet. Abdiel smirked with a scoff, “Speak for yourself!” Away from the guys; Emma took Holleb aside and talks to him. “Do you want to go with me to Gamecade Junction?” Emma asked. Holleb replied, “Do I want to go with you to Gamecade Junction?” He inquired. Emma looked at him darkly but Holleb almost laughed, “Kidding, yes I will.” He said. From afar, Francis turned as he saw Emma holding Holleb’s hand. He was shaken all over at this prospect! “Are you serious?! Emma!!!” exclaimed Speedy. “Relax, Frank. You should tell Emma how you feel.” Isabel advised. “I don’t know, I will but not yet.” Speedy replied. Isabel sighed, she decides to change the subject with an idea: “Listen, wanna hit the mall and go to Gamecade Junction?” Francis nodded, “Sure, let’s do that.” He agreed. In the meantime; Jet was disappointed. “Aww, why couldn’t I join? I live for shit like this!” Jet complained. “Leave them be, it’s been a long time since Holleb hang out with a girl.” Woodrow assured. Jed nodded, “Yeah sure, you got a point.” He replied. While at Gamecade Junction; Emma was impressed by how good Holleb did and she was intrigued. “You’re good.” Emma said, looking at his high score. Holleb smirked a little, “Thanks.” He said. He picked a teddy bear with a bow around his neck, “I’ll take that one.” Holleb said, handing to Emma who took it and smile. “Thanks Holleb.” Ashley said. Holleb smiled, “My pleasure, Eva.” He said. Emma’s smile faded into confusion. “It’s Emma, Holleb.” She corrected again. Holleb nodded melancholically, “Yeah, you sure are.” He said. In the meantime; Francis and Isabel enter inside as they looked around but when Speedy saw Emma with Holleb and got upset. But Isabel encourages him to go talk to her, maybe get her to play a mini bowling game. When Francis approaches her; Emma is surprised to see him. Francis asked if she wants to play the mini bowling game but Emma is nervous because she’s not so good with it. Francis reassured her that he will help her, “That’s what friends for aren’t they?” He asked. Emma beamed, “Yeah.” She replied. For the time being; Jet and the other guys are watching down below at Emma however they see Jordan there watching Emma and was about to make his move. Jet was grunting in anger, he gets up while saying: “That idiot…” He confronted Jordan and exclaimed, “What the hell are you doing here, dumb ass? You just don’t know when to give up do you? Ashley doesn’t want any part of you in her life!” Jordan glanced at him with a grin, “What are you, jealous?” He asked. Jet glares at him and balls his fists up. Moments later; Jordan was thrown out as Augusta saw him and comes over to him, “Jordan, baby, what happened?” She cooed. Jordan grabbed her hand, “Gotta get away from ‘ere! They’re crazy!” He exclaimed. Back inside; Jet brushes his hands while sighing, “That’ll learn him.” He muttered. “Mission accomplished.” Woodrow retorted. “Wow, you guys are insane. I love you guys but you’re all crazy.” Canden said. “Love’s a strong word but OK, we love you too.” Abdiel ridiculed. Later, Ashley was having dinner with her parents as they talk about today’s events and the highlights of their days. While getting ready for bed after dinner, Emma noticed something and looked out the window to see a glowing light which blinded her! The next minute that occurred, Emma woke up to see she was in a cylinder of water and is surrounded by alien creatures with claws, standing up and supporting tentacles. She had her hand up to the temple of her forehead and her other hand to her hip. In the meantime; Family and friends are searching for her but they won’t stop until she’s home. One day; Holleb and his retinue were also searching for Emma when they heard a branch snap and footsteps against the ground so they turned and were shocked to see it was Emma: She was naked, frazzled, bleeding and cold but scared. Holleb managed to help her as she was taken with him as she was given food and clothes but she is emotionally distraught. She wanders around until she reached Holleb’s bed and embraces him while sobbing. Holleb let her lay in his arms. The next morning, Emma discover her kinetic abilities, she can clone herself from flesh like eggs and has empathy over others as she can feel their emotions. But she discovers Holleb and the boys’ secret as she confronts them: “You’re agents….mercenaries….Your mission…” Emma managed to say. Holleb, Jet, Woodrow, Canden and Abdiel stared at her in surprise. “….You…You know about our mission!?” Holleb uttered in shock. Emma gasped and nodded, “It’s OK, I—I won’t tell anyone. Just trust me OK?” She managed to say while composing herself but she was too exhausted and passes out. When she woke up; she was safe with authorities who brought her back home as Emma returns to her parents who are happy to see her but soon noticed a change inside of her. At school, Holleb was acting aloof and quiet. It wasn’t until Emma approached him with an invitation and handed to him. “Holleb, I would like you to come to the banquet of a welcome back gathering for my mother. It would be nice to see you there.” Ashley said. Francis is surprised, Isabel and Hattie exchanged grins. Augusta and Robin glared. In one fluid movement; Holleb ripped the invitation. Francis is upset, Isabel and Hattie are alarmed. Augusta and Robin smirked. Emma is shocked, her hands tremble and tears brimmed in her eyes. “…Why….?” She whispered. Holleb brushed her tears away. He leans in to half embrace her but whispers to her, “You tell anybody, I’ll kill you.” Emma is shocked and Holleb walks away. “What did he mean by that?” whispered Emma. Watching from above; Jet shook his head, “Harsh much, Holly boy?” He muttered. Later; Jet was upset with Holleb for the actions he caused. “Nice job, Holly Boy! A death threat?! Just great, great! She’ll be even more curious!” argued Jet. “What was he supposed to do, sugar coat it? He’s not the type to do that!” Abdiel defended. “Could’ve let her down gently!” Jet debated aggressively. Canden stepped in between them, “Guys, enough! Who cares about that? My biggest predicament is…Why couldn’t you let her help out? She said she wasn’t going to tell anyone about our mission!” He complained. “The boss said we can’t trust anybody, gotta keep our tracks covered.” Insisted Woodrow. “He has a point.” Abdiel retorted. “But Ashley isn’t gonna snitch.” Jet pointed out. Canden gave Woodrow a look, “See?” He said. Woodrow sighs, “We’ll see about that.” He finally admitted. The next day; Emma was distracted by thoughts of Holleb and ponders of him throughout school. Her friends did her best to console her but it wasn’t enough. After school when being picked up, Emma muttered to herself: “Holleb Lovett…Holleb Lovett…Who are you?” Her mother must’ve heard her because she asked, “Emmay, you OK sweetie?” Emma nodded, “Yeah Mom, I’m fine. Just memorizing for a test.” She lied. That night while her parents were out; Emma talked to Isabel on the phone two tells her some gossip: Apparently from what she heard at the main office; the records on Holleb Lovett and the other guys’ files have been deleted—like they never existed. Emma went outside to think, the crisp air causes her hair to flow as she thought about Holleb. “You want to know who he is, don’t you?” A girl’s voice asked. Emma gasped, she turned to see a mysterious girl hiding behind a tree. “Who are you?” asked Emma. The mysterious girl beckoned to her, “Come with me, I know where they are!” She hollered. She ran ahead and Emma tailed behind her. She realized this girl is crazy fast and managed to reach a house, Em could hear voices as she ran after the girl: “Ashley where you’ve been?” Abdiel said. Ashley panted while smiling, “I brought a friend.” She said. “Hey, slow down!” Emma called, “Crap, I can’t run that fast!” Holleb was shocked, “Emma!” He gasped. Emma saw Holleb and the other guys as she had to get to the bottom of this. “Just who are you guys anyway?” Emma demanded. “Emma…” muttered Holleb. He stared at her, but he pulls out his gun and said: “Say goodbye.” Emma gasped. But Holleb felt a gun at his head, he didn’t have to turn and look—He knew it was Ashley! “Put your gun down, she hasn’t done anything to us yet.” Ashley warned. “She knows too much.” Holleb said. “She can help, she can be useful!” Ashley pointed out. “Not gonna happen.” Holleb replied. “Please….give her a chance….For me…” Ashley pleaded. Emma was breathless as she held her hands up, “OK you two, put down your weapons. Please?” Emma asked. Holleb and Ashley stared at her, then Holleb puts down his weapon as well as Ashley. The other guys are surprised by this act. “Damn she’s good.” Jet remarked. Just then, the Xarks attack as Holleb, the boys and Ashley faced them. Emma watched this as she recognized the Xarks look familiar, she realized that these creatures gave her these powers and it all came back to her! Emma steps up and destroys the remaining Xarks while saying, “Death to those who made me this way!” After she does; Emma passes out and woke up to see she’s in her room but wonders if it was all a dream.
Imagine: You’re walking in the city on an ordinary day when you look up and horrify to see destruction of two skyscrapers crumble before you. That was the day that many people lost their lives both in plane and in the buildings. Who is responsible for all this madness? A cult known as ‘radical terrorists’ but that’s not the first time that it happens. They had caused other disasters so violently that many people either died or injured. It was so bad enough that it had to do with murdering folks and sometimes themselves for the sake of their ‘Heavenly Savior’. It wasn’t until they had kidnapped three hostages, no matter what their loved ones begged and cried; those hostages were dead! Then, a suicidal bombing while a concert was going on that injured people and killed a lot of folks. And now, a banquet party turned into a nightmare when two couples who were radicalize terrorists killed fourteen people, a policeman, and injured many. It was tragic, really. These radical terrorists have gone too far and are creating great chaos among the madness of others! They are causing death and destruction. They believe that the ethical people in the world from their homeland are considered evil! The only hope in this world gone crazy is five elite agents who are known as ‘Misfit Boys’. There will be a day when these guys will save the world; these boys will shake the foundations of the terrorists’ radicalization and bloodshed as they will change the course of history—if they can survive! Never underestimate them; they are so desperate they’ll battle even if it means fortifying their lives. Those who lay eyes on these guys won’t be allow to live. The five elites do have names! Holleb Lovett—ready for battle! He walks the path of the warrior; he must choose between love or hatred. When it comes to his emotions, he has no idea what is wrong with him. Abdiel Dawson—another proud line of warriors. He is behold a diligent man with integrity. Canden Xavier —while polite and honest; he is a leader of a man that won’t be taken lightly. Woodrow Shire—stoic almost to a fault. He completes missions with ruthless affiance, he will correct the mistakes of his enemy’s weakness. And lastly, Jet Parker —to his enemies, their dilemma has drop like a domino! He’ll find a way to save lives or take them all with him alive. Anyone who faces him will have a date with a bitter wit’s end. But how do they come together in the first place? Well, let’s turn the page and go back to where it all begin but to be warn, their pasts aren’t pretty pictures to look back on. From Amerik Metropolis; Hand in hand, brother and sister were in front of their new home of the Rakin Manor run by Mrs. Wanda Rakin herself. The sister is Jenny Drew ‘J.D.’ Lovett and her little brother was Holleb. Their father went missing and their mother died in a car crash so now they are orphans. They have no relatives, no grandparents, no uncles, aunts or cousins—nobody. Thankfully; Jenny managed to contact Mrs. Rakin and told her the situation, Mrs. Korvin was gracious enough to let the siblings stay at her manor. But they weren’t the only orphans staying there: There were boys about Holleb’s age. Their names are Isaiah, Charles, and Dawson. While he was exploring, Holleb meets a red haired boy. “I’m Isaiah, what’s your name?” asked the boy with the red hair. “Holleb.” Replied Young Holleb. “Cool name. Boy, am I glad you’re here with us. It gets really creepy around here alone at night.” Said Isaiah. “What do you mean by that?” asked Holleb. “Well, I don’t know if this is true or not but there are rumors that say there’s some murders going around here.” Whispered Jesse. “At night, just like this one orphan boy that went missing. He left for one minute and never came back, the police found the boy’s body and said his body was cut apart by a ‘monster’, scary isn’t it?” Indeed that scared Holleb but for a different reason: He didn’t want his sister Jenny to be involved in this madness. He may have been the younger brother but he was very protective of his sister. In the morning, the orphans went to see an exhibit of bugs at a museum where they met a kindhearted professor where he demonstrates on these kinds of insects called cicada. Immediately, Holleb took noticed of this critter and was amazed by the sight as well as the facts where the cicada show no interest on pestering humans and only eat wood from the ground. “Would anyone like to hold it?” asked the professor. The three boys shrank back in fear but Holleb didn’t. “I will.” He said. He held the insect cicada in his hand and smiled. “My Jove! I never seen a cicada act this way. I see you show no fear towards it.” Remarked the professor. “Insects don’t bother me, I love them.” Replied Holleb, he let the insect crawl his arm. He saw the cicada flew a little and went up to Holleb’s wrist down to his hand. Jenny smiled, “My brother has a soft spot for bugs.” She explained briefly. “I can see that, they are part of life my dear.” Said the professor. Holleb seem to have a connection with this cicada and for some reason, he knew what it was feeling. Once that was over, the orphans went home and went through the daily routine of eat and sleep when it was time for bed. However, things would change on this particular night. Holleb woke up in the middle of the night and went to get a drink of water. As he was doing so, he heard a bang and a body fell to the ground—all bloodied and not moving. Holleb jumped and approached it with caution. He turned the body around and was shocked to see it was that nice professor from before! He rushed back to his room where he shook Jenny and whispered, “Jenny! Jenny, wake up!” Jenny roused from her slumber and saw her brother was scared. “Holleb, what’s the matter?” She asked softly. “Sis, I saw him! The professor! He’s dead!” claimed Holleb quietly. “Oh Brother, you must have been dreaming.” Jenny replied gently. “No, I wasn’t!” Holleb muttered to her, “I just woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and there was—Blood, the body, oh sis!” Holleb whispered. He begins to wept as Jenny hugged him, soothing his fears. In the morning, the police was at the Rakin Manor as the policemen talk to Jonah, much dismay and anger by Mrs. Rakin. “How could you disobey my orders of going downstairs and wandering about?” scolded Mrs. Rakin. “Do I have to repeat myself? I wasn’t wandering; I woke up from a bad dream and wanted to get some water. I heard a noise and there was a body that plopped to the ground. I approached it cautiously and saw it was the professor who was in charge of the cicada bugs.” Said Holleb. “Did you see anyone else?” asked the policeman. “No Officer, I was so scared that I went back to my sister and woke her up to tell her what I saw.” Explained Holleb. Later, he was about to go to bed and saw the others weren’t in their beds as he went around to find them, exclaiming for their names but no luck. “Isaiah? Charlie? Dawson?” called Holleb. Nobody answered. “C’mon you guys, this isn’t funny! Come on out!” Holleb said. Just then, he heard a boy’s scream! He knew who it was! “Isaiah!” exclaimed Holleb. He ran to the direction of where the scream was coming from! It came from the bathroom. By the time he got there, the screaming had stopped. Holleb walked to the bathroom to wash his hands but recoiled in fear when he saw blood and maggots coming out of there. He turned it off and approaches the shower, pulling back the curtains. There he found a horrifying discovery—a dead boy! It looked like he was tied up and hung by his wrist, stabbed multiple times. “Charlie?” stammered Holleb. Then, a knife cut the dead boy’s body apart and a masked figure try to attack Holleb! Holleb dodged it and escaped with ease however he was scared and would not stop running until that masked murdering figure would not find him or chase him. He ran, and ran until he felt like his lungs would burst. He stopped finally to catch his breath and walked a little but Holleb looked out the window and saw a figure falling out the window, he could not believe it. “Dawson!” He bellowed as he rushed down and got outside to see Dawson frantically waving in the water. “Glub—Glub—Holleb! Help—glub glub—me!!!” sputtered Dawson. He stopped waving and drowned in front of a shell shock Holleb however something else had emerged from the pool, it was that masked figure again! He begins to chase Holleb, who was already running away. However, he managed to find Jenny who was exploring around and shows him what she discovered. “Jenny, what did you find?” asked Holleb. Jenny pointed down, “Dad.” She simply said. There was a skeleton on the floor and had a name on him that said ‘Holleb Lovett Sr.’ on its tag. The siblings read his journal and found out that he went missing for he was a prisoner in the manor by the cruel mistress Mrs. Rakin and her two deformed children! His death was caused by beaten to death and starved for days. Jenny took the skeletal corpse in her arms and cradle it, “Oh Papa.” She sobbed. Holleb patted the bleach white skull of the man once known as his father. “Dad, what happened here? What’s going on here?” He thought. Further into the house, the siblings discovered the mutilated bodies of animals such as crows, dogs, and cats—even deer and rabbits too! There was one body that looked human, Holleb was horrified to discover that this was none other than Charlie! “Oh no, Charlie.” He gasped. During this time, he was looking around and turned to find his sister was nowhere in sight. He found a secret passage way that lead to the cave and he went in where Holleb found his sister tied to the ground and released her from her bounds. The two managed to get out of the cave until the masked figure appeared, chasing them! He pulled out a gun and shot Jenny in the back. “NOO, JENNY!!!!” shouted Holleb. Poor Jenny was dying as she managed to speak her last words to her little brother: “Holleb, I—please, stop her! Stop Mrs. Rakin and her children! They are the ones responsible for the murders. Save yourself, goodbye Holleb…” And died. Holleb try to scream out her name but it was hopeless, she was dead. Holleb managed to get to the lab and hide from the murderer. Hiding in the lab alone; Holleb was crying like a baby over the death of his sister until he heard a buzzing sound beckoning to him—the insects cicada were trying to communicate with him telepathically! Holleb then freed the bugs as he learns that he can control them! He faced the masked killer—whose name is Leigh—and he uses the cicada to take Leigh down while killing him too. However, this was short lived when an enraged Mrs. Rakin nearly killed Holleb with an ax however he dodged her as Korvin panted and her hair was a mess as well as her eyes were red. “You stupid boy!!! That masked murderer was just deformed, imperfect but still he….he…He was my son and you killed him! You are nothing more than a disease in this manor! A catastrophe to us all! To me, you Holleb are just as your father!” screamed Mrs. Rakin. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. However, the silence broke when Holleb begin to chuckle, and then he laughed a maniacal laugh. “I’m a catastrophe huh. Fine, from this point on, I will use that. I will train myself to get stronger and I’ll return to come and find you Mrs. Rakin! Just you wait!” vowed Holleb, he then disappeared. Mrs. Rakin watched him go and muttered, “I’ll be waiting for you—Holleb Lovett! I’ll have my revenge too!” Looking over the city from high above, Holleb thought about how he will use the cicada to avenge for Isaiah, Charlie, and Dawson. “Even for you, sister. I will eliminate all monsters in my path.” Claimed Holleb, “I promise you Jenny….REVENGE!” There is a curse amongst the people is what happened to Jet Parker when he was a child. He was an orphan just like Holleb but this couple was nicer and not so malevolent. Jet noticed there was a lot of crimes and murders going on in this crazy town. It turns out in a city like this is where an evil girl by the name of Erica where nobody knows how much of sociopath she is. However, Drisa went over to where Jet was and she killed his adoptive parents as well as the other orphans, shocking Jet who faced off against Drisa and lured her to the beach as he knocks her out. Tied her up and push her down into the ocean but not before taking her gun and killing her. He also disposes the weapon as well as held a cremation for the ones he lost on that day and decided to do good for others. So far, no one has seen or heard of Drisa again and this won’t be the last time they hear from Jet. The town called Helpless Dancer had a miserable boy. Bitter heartened boy, that’s exactly what describes Woodrow Shire. He was taken in by his absurdly youthful aunt name Medina. Medina has been through hardships of abuse: There was that unspeakable maltreatments from her perverted grandfather, her mother blames her for nothing—thinking it was Medina’s fault, her father was a drunkard, her brothers aren’t so supportive, and her boyfriend is an unstable, psychotic fellow that wasn’t too good to sweet, loving Medina. Woodrow was nothing more than a selfish and seemingly apathetic boy that believes his aunt was privileged, he begins to have lustful dreams about pretty girls and bloody violence. He was into scars as he found a fetish in them. He finds scars ‘beautiful’ although the story behind them isn’t so pretty! There was one girl who had a good heart and saw his soul for what he is inside. Her name was Riju, she apparently showed concern and caring for Woodrow, Riju may have a crush on him because it was a loner and quiet guy but cute, eccentric. Woodrow was into dissecting dead animals, dreams of gory mad scientist-esque nightmares that he finds appealing, and he fantasies about more pretty girls, open heart surgeries, and other violent things. Then, Woodrow grew a heart for his aunt after learning that Medina was pregnant with her psychotic boyfriend’s child and help his aunt however one night when he was out for errands, Woodrow found a meaty-mass in an alley that came to life and got on Woodrow’s right arm where it became a manifest and was a blood-red, mangled flesh on him that would soon be of help to Woodrow! One night, Aunt Medina never got to the hospital as her water broke! Woodrow helps her aunt give birth to a beautiful baby boy look just like Medina. Medina cried, overwhelmed with joy. Using his red right hand; Woodrow stopped the bleeding and cut the umbilical cord. Medina was surprised as the relationship between him and his aunt was mended. But the father was not around and Woodrow was protective over his newborn cousin who grew up to be a young boy. And Woodrow was becoming like a mentor to his cousin however it wasn’t long until Woodrow dated somebody else—a black male name Teddy Sinclair who was an abusive, mean man that soon beat Medina. Once again, Medina was pregnant with Teddy’s twin daughters and gave birth to the twins. But Teddy’s sisters made no hesitation to make Medina’s life miserable on her social media page where they wrote nasty things about her for her to see as well as insult her by calling her a ‘harlot’. The last straw was when Woodrow came home to find Teddy beating Medina—in front of the kids! Angered by this sight; Woodrow’s right arm became mangled flesh and Woodrow charged in as he brought down Teddy with one slam to the ground. Woodrow was mad as he glared down at Teddy with viciousness in his eyes. “You son of a bitch! Who do you think you are doing this to me?” demanded Teddy. “I am your curse filled with crimson of your blood. The next time you do this to my aunt, I will take you down and break your skull open, do you understand?! Don’t you ever lay a hand on my aunt in front of her children!” growled Woodrow. Teddy was terrified, Medina was amazed and her children were frozen with fear. After Teddy left; Woodrow treated his aunt’s bruises and cuts as he comforted his cousins. The three of them were crying, they seemed so scared as Woodrow vows to protect them all! At the same time, Woodrow met a boy his age by the name of Canden Xavier. Canden is a nice, sweet, and gentleman who never like violence however he suffered a terrible memory of his father’s murder by his mother, who learnt her husband was having an affair. In his life, Canden was abused by his mean old uncle and his bullying cousin. His mother’s crime, his uncle’s mistreatment and his cousin’s aggravation had caused Canden to create a badass codename that fought back against his uncle and cousin, where they fear him now. But then Canden did something that he would rather forget and he never wants to remember it. Together, Woodrow and Canden became a duo pair of friends to fight for justice. On the other side of town was a young boy name Abdiel Dawson that went through his adolescent years of dealing with a cruel teacher, a smothering yet over protective mother who thought she knew better, and a girlfriend name Monica that cheated on him with infidelity of other loves. Abdiel grew up without a father as he was the scapegoat and an only child however he found happiness when he met a girl by the name of Haley who became the love of his life until she was killed by radical terrorists while she was riding in a hot air balloon. This caused Abdiel to become heartbroken, the love of his life was taken from him forever. One day, he went through depression and fell asleep where he entered a dreamland where he meets a magic man, who convinces him to leave the boundaries of his ordinary life. It wasn’t until Abdiel was on trial where the unbearable testimonies against him from others such as his teacher, his mother, and Monica. His teacher admonishes him for lacking any potential; his mother just wants to keep him sheltered from the world, while Monica calls out on Abdiel’s for being an idiot for not suspecting of her unfaithfulness. The magic man then took down the mental walls of Abdiel’s comfort zone with a sledgehammer as Abdiel awoke from the dream world where he decides to make changes to his life as he humiliates his former lover and shames her for her wicked betrayal against her other lovers. Thanking all three that inspired him even though he shouldn’t because they did him wrong but they taught him to not let others pin him down or tell him what’s wrong or right. In the present; Ashley held her camera at Emma and asked what is she doing. Emma turned and spoke to her directly at the camera: “So what we’re doing is we gonna perform on the street and um…we need an acoustic guitar so we’re like, ‘OK, what are we gonna do?’ So we’re gonna buy one, let’s go!” said Emma. Emma and the boys head inside the shop as they looked around when Emma looked up and her eyes widened. “Oh my god, is that…?” Emma gasped. Woodrow smiled, “Yeah.” He confirmed. “I think we found a winner.” Agreed Jet. Once the guitar was bought; Jet wanted to play some songs but he chose a classic one from a commercial: “Let’s play this song.” Jet said, showing it to her. But Emma laughed, “Are you kidding me? That was for a 2001 Pepsi commercial!” She exclaimed. “Just change it up for a cover, OK?” Jet convinced. Emma smiled at him, “Crazy, aren’t ya?” She teased. Jet frown and got serious, “You can do it, show me your voice!” He said. Emma nodded and throughout, she sang on the streets as she sang some greatest hits: “Turn me up! Come feel the joy all around, each generation has found they've got their own kind of sound, time to let it out! You've got your own kind of groove, baby you can't see it it's your move. Gotta take that leap you can't lose, shout it out! Ba ba ba ba...Ba ba ba ba ba. Love that joy, don’t ya? Ahhh, yeah! Oh yeah, for those who think young…..Oh, baby, baby...How was I supposed to know, that something wasn't right here? Oh, baby, baby...I shouldn't have let you go...And now you're out of sight, yeah. Show me how you want it to be. Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh, because...My loneliness is killing me and I, I must confess, I still believe...still believe....When I'm not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign hit me, baby, one more time! Baby, I'm so into you. You got that something, what can I do? Baby, you spin me around! Oh, the earth is moving, but I can't feel the ground. Every time you look at me, my heart is jumpin', it's easy to see. Lovin' you means so much more, more than anything I ever felt before! You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep. I'm so excited, I'm in too deep. Oh crazy but it feels alright! Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night…Never look back, we said. How was I to know I'd miss you so? Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind. Where do I go? And you didn't hear, all my joy through my tears...All my hopes through my fears...Did you know, still I miss you somehow? From the bottom of my broken heart. There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know. You were my first love, you were my true love. From the first kisses to the very last rose. From the bottom of my broken heart, even though time may find me somebody new. You were my real love, I never knew love 'til there was you...From the bottom of my broken heart….Hush, just stop. There's nothing you can do or say, baby. I've had enough, I'm not your property as from today, baby. You might think that I won't make it on my own...But now I'm stronger than yesterday! Now it's nothing but my way! My loneliness ain't killing me no more...I, I'm stronger!...Early morning, she wakes up. Knock, knock, knock on the door. It's time for makeup, perfect smile...It's you they're all waiting for. They go…'Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?' And they say…She's so lucky, she's a star. But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking. If there's nothing missing in my life...Then why do these tears come at night?....What a girl wants, what a girl needs. What a girl wants, what a girl needs. I wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe. Like a rock you waited so patiently, while I got it together. While I figured it out, yeah yeah. I only looked but I never touched…'Cause in my heart was a picture of us. Holdin' hands, makin' plans and it's lucky for me you understand…What a girl wants. What a girl needs. Whatever makes me happy sets you free, and I'm thanking you for knowing exactly. What a girl wants. What a girl needs. Whatever keeps me in your arms…And I'm thanking you for giving it to me….Uh huh, life's like this. Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is. La! Lalalala. 'Cause life's like this. Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is. Chill out, what you yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be--You will see! I like you the way you are, when we're drivin' in your car. And you're talking to me one on one--But you've become...Somebody else 'round everyone else. You're watching your back like you can't relax. You're tryin' to be cool--You look like a fool to me....Tell me! Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're. Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated. And life's like this you, you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into. Honesty, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it...No, no, no…..He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say? He wanted her. She'd never tell. Secretly she wanted him as well. But all of her friends, stuck up their nose. They had a problem with his baggy clothes. He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy. He wasn't good enough for her! Now he's a super star, slamming on his guitar. Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy. He wasn't good enough for her! Now he's a super star, slamming on his guitar. Does your pretty face see what he's worth?...I'm standing on a bridge, I'm waitin' in the dark. I thought that you'd be here by now. There's nothing but the rain, no footsteps on the ground. I'm listening but there's no sound. Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new? I don't know who you are, but I, I'm with you…..Sometimes I get so weird, I even freak myself out. I laugh myself to sleep, it's my lullaby. Sometimes I drive so fast, just to feel the danger. I want to scream, it makes me feel alive...Woo! Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out, and leave me here to bleed. Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life. I'd rather be anything but ordinary please…..Baby, you're all that I want. When you're lyin' here in my arms. I'm findin' it hard to believe...We're in heaven....Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years. There was only you and me. We were young and wild and free. Now nothing can take you away from me. We've been down that road before...But that's over now...You keep me comin' back for more....Baby, you're all that I want. When you're lyin' here in my arms. I'm findin' it hard to believe...We're in heaven. And love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see....We're in heaven...We're in heaven...So lately, been wondering: Who will be there to take my place. When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face. If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all. Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own? If I could, then I would...I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go. Run away with my heart...Run away with my hope...Run away with my love. I know now, just quite how. My life and love might still go on. In your heart, in your mind, I'll stay with you for all of time. If I could, then I would. I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go. If I could turn back time, I'll go wherever you will go. If I could make you mine, I'll go wherever you will go...I'll go wherever you will go…..I don't wanna say I'm sorry. Cause I know there is nothing wrong. Don't be afraid there is no need to worry. Cause my feelings for you are still strong...Hold me in your arms, and never let me go. Hold me in your arms. Cause I need you so....I can see it in your eyes...There is something...Something you wanna tell me. See it in your eyes...There is something...That you hide from me. Is there a reason why? There is something...Something you wanna tell me...I see it in your eyes....There is something...That you hide from me....I don't wanna say I'm sorry. Cause I know there is nothing wrong. Don't be afraid there is no need to worry. Cause my feelings for you are still strong...Hold me in your arms, and never let me go. Hold me in your arms. Cause I need you so....I can see it in your eyes...There is something...Something you wanna tell me. See it in your eyes...There is something...That you hide from me. Is there a reason why? There is something...Something you wanna tell me...I see it in your eyes....There is something...That you hide from me....No matter how hard I try, you keep pushing me aside, and I can't break through. There's no talking to you, it's so sad that you're leaving. It takes time to believe it. But after all is said and done--You're gonna be the lonely one. Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say: I really don't think you're strong enough. Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say: I really don't think you're strong enough….It's 'bout as bad as it could be. Seems everybody's buggin' me. Like nothing wants to go my way--Yeah, it just ain't been my day. Nothin's comin' easily...Even my skin is acting weird. I wish that I could grow a beard. Then I could cover up my spots--Not play connect the dots. I just want to disappear...Up, up, up! Can only go up from here! Up, up, up! Where the clouds gonna clear. Up, up! There's no way but up from here….There is no one else that I can say this to. And there is nothing better than to talk to you. If you have a problem I'll be here for you, 'cause girl you always know that...It’s Us Against The World. I met someone the other night. Someone I really started to like. How will I know if it's right for me? I wonder if we are meant to be. Don't start to like him too much too soon...There is no one else that I can say this to. And there is nothing better than to talk to you. If you have a problem I'll be here for you, 'cause girl you always know that...It’s Us Against The World!...Got an angel at my bedside...Watching over me tonight. Smiling from a photograph...And everything's just right. Been dreaming of you before. And now it's true. My heart is beating just for you...Baby I wanna know. Is it love? Is it love? Is it why I fall everytime you call? Is it love, really love? When you say it's forever. Is it love? Is it love? That I'm breathing...When I dream of you tonight...Is it always gonna be? Will you always care for me? Is all that I want? All that I need? Is it all I ever hoped for? Baby..?....One more time we're gonna celebrate. Oh yeah all right don't stop the dancing. One more time we're gonna celebrate. Oh yeah all right don't stop the dancing. One more time we're gonna celebrate. Oh yeah all right don't stop the dancing. One more time we're gonna celebrate…..When you're standing on the edge of nowhere, there's only one way up so your heart's got to go there. Through the darkest night, see the light shine bright. When heroes fall in love or war they live forever...This is a song for the lonely. Can you hear me tonight? For the broken hearted, battle scared, I'll be by your side. This is a song for the lonely when your dreams won't come true. Can you hear this prayer coz someone's there for you?” Once she’s done, applause filled the air as Emma smiles. Ashley was singing to herself softly: “Turn me up! Come feel the joy all around, each generation has found they've got their own kind of sound, time to let it out! You've got your own kind of groove, baby you can't see it it's your move. Gotta take that leap you can't lose, shout it out! Ba ba ba ba...Ba ba ba ba ba. Love that joy of the 90's! Ahhhh, yeah! The 90's for those who think young.” Once she’s done; Ashley smiled to herself.
