Randomness Book 2

Chapter 4: Lover 💖

Previously on The Glornative Eras Tour...

All: Nice! Nice! (Serena: Lover!)

*The backup dancers pull back their tall tie-dye, revealing Serena)

And Now...

Serena: It's been a long coming but!
It's you and me, that's my whole world!
They whisper in the hallways she's a bad bad girl! (Okay!)
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes!

It's you and me, there's nothing like this!
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay!)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you.

(Voted most likely to run away)
Serena: Voted most likely to run away
Voted most likely to run away...

With you!

Finally being back onstage after over a year of no shows was such an intense feeling for Serena. The sounds of the crowd cheering, the voices of those who were familiar with the lyrics, and the comforting feeling of being back at her happy place made her feel on Cloud 9. During that brief pause in between songs, she looked at all the smiling faces of the Islanders, but none of them could compare to the excited looks from the ones backstage, and the "You've got this, Sere!" chants coming from the VIP boxes.

She could see Matilda excitedly waving, along with Chucky, Tiffany, and Glen. Megamind and Roxanne brought James along to the concert and were also waving to her. And who could forget Harry and Ginny? Who looked so proud of their soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Eliana was smiling as well, reaching a hand into the crowd trying to touch her. But Serena smiled and blew a kiss in her direction before the beat to Cruel Summer dropped.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)


Serena: Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it


Bad, bad boy
Shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it


Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more


And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer


It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you


Hang your head low
In the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying


You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying


So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know


Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer


It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
With you


I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you


And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth


"I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a devil!
