How exactly did you end up here again? You supposed it didn't really matter as you now stood on stage with hundreds of eyes watching you. But still, weren't you too old to be dressing up and singing pop songs?
The children seemed to be enjoying it, though. So how could you just walk away? Twirling around in the flowy skirt you had been forced into and trying your best to keep balance in the heel boots, they jammed onto your feet.
You suppose you should feel grateful. Grateful, they didn't try to put you in something more ridiculous or revealing than what you were currently wearing.
Eyeing Raim and Mar, who were watching you from backstage, you shuddered for a second. Remembering how they all but dragged you here after listening to you humming a few bars of one of the newest akudols songs.
The students, upon recognizing you, gave a loud cheer that seemed to shake the entire school, and well, how were you supposed to turn away from such support? So there you were, dancing and singing to all the most popular hits in the flashing lights, blowing kisses to the crowd.
But really, you wanted to share one song from your old life with them. It wouldn't hurt. It's not like anyone would find out. Raising a hand, you stopped the band and turned to the roaring crowd.
"This next song is different. I don't think any of you have heard this one before, so please relax and enjoy a song that I have enjoyed many times." You softly said as you reached out and wrote some notes on the back of the band's sheet music.
"Can I get a spotlight?" You shouted up to the lighting crew that was quick to make the changes. Taking a deep breath, you thought to yourself. 'Here goes nothing.' Planting your feet as the music started to climb to a peak.
☆Stagelights flashing... the feelings smashing, my heart and soul belong to you~☆
You loved the songs from Robotech as a kid growing up. You had such few pleasures, so you wanted to be able to share at least one of them. Lynn Min Mei had captured your heart for music.
☆And I'm here now, singing; all bells are ringing. My dream has finally come true~☆
You spun quickly in time with the beat, making your way front and center. You hoped this would be well received by them. You wanted to keep having fun with the students of Babyls.
☆Stage fright, go away.... this is my big day. This is my time to be a star~☆
You saw Kerori in the front row staring at you in shock, tears streaming down her face. You gave what you hoped was an encouraging wink and continued to belt out the lyrics.
☆And the thrill that I feel - it's really unreal. I can't believe I've come this far~ This is my time to be a star~☆
The lights cut out, and you stumbled off stage, exhausted. "No," You said before Mar could get a word in. You were not going to do this professionally.
Your feet already hurt enough from this time. You pried off the killer shoes and were about to make your way to the dressing room to change when you heard. "Please teach me!"
You froze midstep. It was one of your kids. How could you possibly ignore a request? Especially when Kerori had never asked you for anything before.
"I'm not a professional. Are you sure you want me to teach you?" You selected your words carefully so as not to break the look of determination she held.
"Yes! Please teach me!" She bowed before you, and honestly, your kids were just the cutest. "Okay, I'll teach you the best I can."
The genuine excitement that oozed out of her was more than worth the exhausting feeling you would get later. After all, how could you not want to bond with all your kids? Each had different goals and interests, after all.
