Jackie Rocks Out! (Part 1)

Sapphire and I are backstage as Sonic, Manic, and Sonia start to play, and the entire crowd is electrified with excitement and joy.
But then that cat from earlier talking to Sonic is back. "Sapphire what do we do about the guest singer?"
"I'm sorry, I'd love to help, but I have mega stage fright. Unless..."
She then looks at me.
"No. No. I can't." I say. "I can't sing."
But the cat still drags me towards the stage. "All right, there's 2 songs you'll be singing, the first is what you want to sing. The second, is this song." She hands me a script of the chosen song. And I read the title.
"LADY GAGA - PAPARAZZI"
This is our song! My song, and Sonic's song!
But I know what I want to sing for my first song. Don't Stop by 5 Seconds Of Summer.
Sonic, Manic, and Sonia exit the stage at the other side. And then it's my turn.
I take a deep breath, before walking out onto that stage.
With all my friends at front row seats, I can't let them down.
I have to show them just how powerful my singing voice is.
The music for my first song starts, and I grab the microphone.
Let's do this!

"You're like perfection, some kind of holiday,
You got me thinking, that we could run away,
You want I'll take you there,
You tell me when and where,
Oh oh, oh oh.

But then I asked for your number,
Said you don't have a phone,
It's getting late now,
I gotta let you know,
That everybody wants to take you home tonight,
But I'm gonna find a way to make you mine!

Don't stop, doin' what you're doin',
Every time you move to the beat,
It gets harder for me,
And you know it, know it, know it.
Don't stop, 'cause you know that I like it,
Every time you walk in the room,
You got all eyes on you
And you know it, know it, know it."

Now I've got the crowd jumping, and they're all up on their feet. Incredible! I had no idea how powerful I could be through music.
I also see that Sapphire has joined the crowd of my friends at the front. She winks and me, and I wink back.

"Every day it's the same, love and games that you play,
Back and forth, round and round, kinda like it this way.

So don't stop, doin' what you're doin',
Every time you move to the beat,
It gets harder for me,
And you know it, know it, know it.
Don't stop, 'cause you know that I like it,
Every time you walk in the room,
You got all eyes on you
And you know it, know it, know it!"

As soon as the last word leaves my mouth, the entire crowd burst into the loudest cheers I have ever heard in my whole life.
And they're cheering for me!
But there's still the song that's been chosen for me.
And I know exactly who I wanna dedicate it to.
"All right, this next song goes out to someone very special to me. I know that he knows this song, and I hope he's listening."
Sonic, this one's for you!
