Chapter 8
I stand in the front row of the town hangout. The building is literally called The Hangout. There's a stage with a dance floor below it which has been turned into the area for the audience at the moment. Tables and chairs are set up around the floor so people can eat.
"Are you excited?" Elsa Asia's me.
"Extremely!"
On the other side of Elsa is Flynn and Eret. On my right is Anna and Kristoff. I see the band making their way on stage, but get confused when Hiccup sits behind the drums, Jack taking center stage.
"What's up ladies and gentlemen? Are you ready to rock out with us tonight?" Jack calls. The crowd screams in answer. "Alright!now before we begin I just want to thank you all for coming out and supporting us tonight. Don't forget to come see us tomorrow night as well. This song is called...drum roll please (insert drum roll sound here)...'Rockstar'!"
Rockstar
( this is Jack singing the guy in the background is Hiccup)
I'm through with standing in line
To clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(So what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair,
and well
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha, ha)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial,
well
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial,
well
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Jack makes goofy faces to some of the words he sings, walking around the stage and reaching out to touch the crowd at times. I catch him blow a kiss to Elsa once too. He is most definitely a born performer. Jack heads back to the drums, Hiccup trading places with Punzie.
"Hey! I'm Punzie. I hope you are having fun tonight!"this time it's mostly guys shouting.
"You go Babe!" I hear Flynn call out.
"This song is called 'One Way or Another'."
One Way or Another
( this is really Punzie's voice Mandy Moore plays her in the movie. The guy in the beginning is Jack)
One, two, four,
This is the life
Oh, One way, One way, or another
One way
One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha I'll getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha, I'll meetcha
And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna getcha
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna getcha
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna getcha
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna getcha
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
I was actually really impressed by Punzie. She's like a rock and roll diva. She flipped her hair around like crazy, yet it always landed perfectly. I felt kinda jealous of her confidence. She was awesome Hiccup then took Merida's place at the keyboard as she took center stage. When is he going to sing?
"Is there anything Hiccup can't do?" I ask Anna.
"Not really. He's amazing."
" I can see that." I smile.
"Hello! I'm Merida. This is my new song 'Still Into You'."
Still Into You
(This is Merida singing the background girl is Punzie)
Can't count the years on one hand
That we've been together
I need the other one to hold you
Make you feel, make you feel better
It's not a walk in the park
To love each other
But when our fingers interlock,
Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it
'Cause after all this time I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you
Recount the night that
I first met your mother
And on the drive back to my house
I told you that, I told you that I loved ya
You felt the weight of the world
Fall off your shoulder
And to your favorite song
We sang along to the start of forever
And after all this time I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you
Some things just, some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I (Hey)
Some things just, some things just make sense
And even after all this time (Hey)
I'm into you, baby, not a day goes by
That I'm not into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
I'm still trying to figure out how they thought I was talented. Merida was extravagant. Her vocals were perfectly pitched and everything. The way she danced around the stage was spot on.
"Hey guys!" Hiccup calls finally taking center stage. The whole crowd screams out in pure joy. It's so loud that I have to cover my ears with my hands. Hiccup stands there smiling his gigantic, adorable, lop-sided grin.
"I'm Hiccup!" The crowd gets impossibly louder.There's no doubt about it that they love him.
"This is MY new song. It's called centuries. Hope you like it."
Centuries
(This is Hiccup singing. The girl singing is Merida. When there's multiple voices is the whole band)
Du du du du-du du du
Du du du du du-du du du
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take.
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey, hey, hey
Remember me for centuries
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong,
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
"This next one is called 'Favorite Record'."
'Favorite Record'
Do you do, do you remember
When we drove, we drove, drove through the night
And we danced, we danced
To Rancid, and we danced, we danced
And I confessed, confessed to you
Riding shotgun underneath the purple skies
And we danced, we danced
With windows down, and we danced, we danced
You were the song stuck in my head
Every song I've ever loved
Played again and again and again
And you can get what you want but it's never enough
And I'll spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I'll spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I can't, I can't, I can't remember
Just how to forget, forget the way
That we danced, we danced
To Danzig, and we danced, we danced
And when you asked, you asked me how I'm doing
Like you know, you know how much better off I am
And when we danced, we danced
With windows down, and we danced, we danced
You were the song stuck in my head
Every song I've ever loved
Played again and again and again
And you can get what you want but it's never enough
And I'll spin for you like your favorite records used to
And I'll spin for you like your favorite records used to
I'll spin, I'll spin, I'll spin, I'll spin
For you, for you, for you, for you, for yeah...
(Spin for you like your favorite records used to...)
He looked like a superstar up there as he jumped around, spun around, flipped his hair all whole singing and playing guitar. Even the way he sang into the mic was gorgeous especially when he held the crazy long and high notes.
"Now I would like to announce our newest member to you all. Miss Astrid Hofferson!" He says while clapping. I take to the stage as someone hands me my black electric guitar with a hot pink skull. I take center stage looking to Jack and Merida behind me.Punzie on my right, Hiccup on my left.
"Hi. Um, I'm Astrid. I just moved here last week and I'm already playing for you guys. I hope you like it. This is a song I wrote called 'Runaway'."
Runaway
(This is Astrid singing)
Got up on the wrong side of life today yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No you can't cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out no
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud
And I feel so alive
I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
So So is how I'm doing if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there come closer it's at your own risk
Yeah you know how it is life can be a --
But I feel so alive
I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
Runaway, Runaway...
Runaway, Runaway...
Runaway, Runaway...
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I truly enjoyed myself, getting completely enveloped in the music and the moment. I jumped up and down pounding my fist in the air to the beat, strumming my guitaras I leaned back to back with Punzie and Hiccup, kicking my right leg in the air like a karate kid. The crowd wheat absolutely wild.
"I think they liked you." Hiccup says as we walk to the front of the stage linking arms, and raising them above our heads.
"We are The Big 5!!" We shout.
"Now you're an official member of the band, welcome aboard Hofferson." Jack says throwing an arm over my shoulders.
I stand there grinning from ear to ear taking the moment in. We wrap our arms around each others waists. Jack's drumsticks in his hand. Hiccup's, Punzie's, and my guitars hanging in front of us. Merida being the only one empty handed. I giggle listening to the cheering crowd.
"Now we get to do it all over again tomorrow." Hiccup tells me.
"I could get used to this." I sat.
He smiles down at me kissing me on the cheek.
