Sing with me

“Um, no I don't like it.” Tenaya shook her head and erased something on her paper. “How about this?”
 
 
 
Fuji shrugged. “You're the professional.”
 
 
 
She smiled, scribbled down her idea, and played the tune out on her guitar. “How does that sound?”
 
 
 
“Better.” Fuji smiled and nodded.
 
 
 
“Great!” Tenaya said, bending over her paper. “We'll make that the chorus. I'm going for a friendly tune you know?”
 
 
 
Fuji nodded.
 
 
 
“Alright…” Tenaya bit her bottom lip as she scribbled the last of the song, and smiled triumphantly. She then played out the whole song for Fuji on her guitar, and looked up at him in question.
 
 
 
“It sounds great!!” He exclaimed. “And I like my part too, thanks.”
 
 
 
“No problem.” She said, putting her guitar away. “Well thanks for the help with it.”
 
 
 
He shook his head and got up. “Nah, I didn't do much.”
 
 
 
“Well you kept me company.” She smiled. “It's too bad Ryoma had to go to dinner, he would have had fun.”
 
 
 
Fuji's face fell. “You wish Ryoma was here?”
 
 
 
Tenaya, missing the look on his face, nodded eagerly. “Yeah, I mean. He's a really good friend and all, and it was originally his song.”
 
 
 
Fuji smiled at her, and sat down again on her bed beside her. “So, how do you feel about moving back?”
 
 
She sighed and lay down on her bed. “I don't know. It was so fun living here, I wish I didn't have to leave. I mean,” she turned to face Fuji. “I've made so many friends here.”
 
 
 
Fuji shrugged. “Yeah, we'll definitely miss you. So who would you miss the most?”
 
 
 
She rolled her eyes. “Oh come on, don't make me answer that.”
 
 
 
He laughed. “You can trust me, honest. So tell me!”
 
 
 
“Alright.” She said hesitantly. “The truth is….”
 
 
 
^-^
 
 
 
Ryoma's POV
 
 
I looked down at my watch. 8:45. It wasn't too late was it? All I wanted to do was stop by her house and check on her.
 
 
 
You know, see if Fuji had left already or not.
 
 
 
Thankfully, Tenaya opened the door a few minutes later with a smile on her face. “Hi!” She said, opening the door wider. “Come in. How was dinner?”
 
 

I rolled my eyes. “Boring. I would've stayed home if I could.”
 
 
She laughed. “Well, Fuji and I finished the song! Wanna hear?”
 
 
 
I nodded and smiled. “Yeah, show me.”
 
 
 
She sat down on her bed, and pulled out her guitar, and played the tune for him, and sang the lyrics.
 
 
 
I smiled and closed my eyes. Her voice was so clear, like it just cut straight through my mind. And she didn't even have an accent when singing the Japanese lyrics. It sort of came naturally to her I guess.
 
 
 
When the song was done, I opened my eyes and clapped. She smiled. “What do you think?”
 
 
 
“I loved it.”
 
 
 
“Oh.” She bit her lip. “And one more thing to ask you.”
 
 
 
“Shoot.”
 
 
 
She took a deep breath. “Ok, well I know that you don't like singing solo, but I really do have a great idea.”
 
 
 
I nodded hesitantly. “Go on.”
 
 
 
She sighed, and got up. “Follow me.” She walked out of her room and lead me to the piano room, where she sat down on the bench. She pulled a sheet of music out from under the bench and set it on the piano. “Can you sing while I play?”
 
 
 
I blushed and squirmed, sitting down next to her. I had never sung in front of anybody before. “Um. I guess.”
 
 
 
“Ok.” She smiled, and began playing.
 
 
 
Automatically, I was entranced. The melody was so beautiful. “Did she write this?” I thought to myself.
 
 
 
As soon as the beginning intro was over, I started singing the lyrics. At first, they came out sort of quiet, but as we got into the song, I started singing more strongly. It was such a beautiful song. But I still didn't know why she was making me sing it.
 
 
 
As soon as it was over, she turned to look at me and took a deep breath. “Like it?”
 
 
 
I nodded. “Yeah, a lot. But…why…?”
 
 
 
“Well, I wrote this song a long time ago. But I never really found the right voice for it. Carter's voice is a little to deep, and Joan and I have voices that are a little too high. And so, when I first met you, I thought that you would be perfect for this song.”
 
 
 
I nodded.
 
 
 
“And so, I really thought that you should sing this for the talent show.”
 
 
 
^-^
 
 
 
Narrator's POV
 
 
“Ready guys?” Tenaya whispered, looking around at Oishi, Fuji, Tezuka, and Ryoma. “We're on next.”
 
 
 
They nodded.
 
 
 
“And now presenting!!” The announcer's voice rang out as the curtain was drawn up. “Kuminitsu Tezuka, Echizen Ryoma, Syusuke Fuji, and Sochiro Oishi singing! And Tenaya Rialles playing the guitar!”
 
 
 
Tenaya smiled and sat down on the stool at the side. The four guys positioned themselves on center stage. “Let it begin.” Tenaya whispered as she started the first few chords of the song.

END
 
(English version)
 
Whatever the future may be from this moment,
Our glory days begin from here.
 
There is a line under the blue sky,
Opening a brand new door
 
As we hold our hands gently with smiling faces
We can faintly feel something—friendship!
 
As though there are no words in this world to describe,
All of the memories that we share
Whatever the future may be from this moment,
Out glory days begin from here.
 
As we swing our uniforms,
The wind brings them together
Into a pocket.
 
If we try to go toward the sound of our echoes
We can feel something which we cannot see.
 
If we collect all the hopes in this world, hey,
Please lead us to the route of courage
Whatever the future may be from this moment
Our glory days begin from here.
 
As though there are no words in this world to describe,
All of the memories that we share
Whatever the future may be from this moment,
Out glory days begin from here.
 
Whatever the future may be from this moment,
Our glory days begin from here!
 
 
 
The song ended with a final strum, and the whole stadium was filled with applauses. The five of them bowed three of them exited the stage.
 
 

Tenaya and Ryoma, however, stayed right where they were.
 
 
 
Tenaya put down her guitar and took the mike. “Um.” She said, clearing her voice. She waited until the crowd died down. “We have a surprise! Ryoma and I are performing one more song for you guys. It's called “Thank you for”. Please enjoy.” She put down the mike and sat down behind the piano, and Ryoma smiled at her.
 
 
 
She smiled back warmly, and began the song.
 
 
 
Awai hanabira ga yurete
Shizuka ni maiorita toki
Kisetsu hakobu chiisa na kaze
Boku no naka toorisugita
 
Tsuyosa wo mashita hizashi ga
Atarashii jidai wo tsugeru
Tashika ni nagareteru toki wo
Tometakute hitomi tojita
 
Tooku dara kikoeteru
Kikinareta waraigoe
Ashita kara wa koko ni inai
Tomo ni kakenuketa hito-tachi
 
Kokoro kara omoeru yo
Deaete yokatta to
Yasashii hibi ga mune wo yogitte wa kieteyuku
“omedetou” Doushite mo iesou ni nai kara
Koko kara kaze ni nose Sotto tsubuyaku
 
Konna kimochi ga aru koto
Shirazu ni ikitekita kedo
Odayaka na tanoshii toki ga
Sukoshizutsu boku wo kaeta
 
Ano hi ni mebae-hajimeta
Tsuyosa e no atsui omoi
Ima demo kawaranu hageshisa de
Takami dake mezashiteiru
 
Oshietekureta koto
Zenbu dakishime nagara
Hajimari ga sugu soko ni aru
Bokutachi no jidai wo ikiru
 
Kokoro kara omoeru yo Deaete yokatta to
Yasashii egao Wasurenai you ni yakitsukete
"Arigatou" Kao wo mite iesou ni nai kara
COURT ni sotto Chiisaku tsubuyaita
 
 
Ryoma sang the last note and smiled at Tenaya. She smiled back at him.
 
 
And nothing but applause could be heard.
