Dani & Amy's POV:So if you didn't know, we are going against each other at Nashville's Female-Fronted Battle Of The Bands.
Dani:With my cowgirl look ready to go, I'm ready to lead me, Lauren and our bandmates to victory for Spice Angel. We are not about to lose to Amy.
Amy:Excuse me Dani? My metal outfit Air Raid is gonna run circles all over you! I have a secret weapon. I'm sporting Metallica/Black Veil Brides attire.
Dani:Excuse me Amy? OK, who is your secret weapon?
Amy:Come on out. *guess who?*
Christina:Surprise.
Dani:CHRISTINA?! WTF?!
Christina:Shocked huh? Amy last minute asked if I could join her band. I accepted.
Amy:So now Christina is also an Air Raid girl. *sees Christina's Nightwish shirt*
Christina:Channeling my rocker girl.
Dani:Lauren, where are you?!
Lauren:I had to go to the bathroom.
Amy:Well, my band is first. Christina, let's go.
Christina:Right.
Amy:*growls* RAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Dani:The country girl doing metal.
Lauren:This should be interesting.

*Air Raid does Within Temptation & Tarja's "Paradise (What About Us)"
BAND:Amy Cimorelli (Lead Vocals/Bass), Christina Cimorelli (vocals/keys), Rachel Fortuna (drums), Davina Thomlin (guitar), Hayden Milicent (vocals/guitar) [Christina replaced Stacie Carter who had food poisoning]
*Davina with opening operatic voice, opening melodies and beats*

Amy:
There's no sense
The fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning


Hayden:
Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our role
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?


Christina:
All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause


[Chorus:Amy, Hayden & Christina]
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise


Christina:
You and us
Or I and them
There comes a time
To take a stand
The wheel is watching all that keeps on burning


Amy:
The venom works
It's like a curse
A Trojan horse
When will we learn
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning


Hayden:
All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause...

[Repeat Chorus:Amy, Hayden & Christina]

*guitar solo and change melodies*

Amy & Hayden:
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise

Christina & Amy:
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise

Hayden & Christina:
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise

Repeat Chorus (Amy, Hayden & Christina)

Amy->Christina->Hayden->All:What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough?
Davina closes with operatic closing*

Lauren:HOLY GOODNESS SPICE! That was epic.
Dani:How are we gonna beat that?! Have you seen that video?
'I have. It's one of the best ever'
Dani:Floor Jansen?
Floor:Hey, you're 2 of those Cimorelli girls? I'm Floor, the lead singer of Nightwish.
Lauren:I'm Lauren Cimorelli, this is Dani Cimorelli. We're representing Spice Angel.
Dani:We're a country outfit. Our main job is being in Cimorelli, but we couldn't compete altogether.
Floor:Oh. Did you know a country band has never won this competition or even come close?
Dani:Floor, I got this. Me and Sugar will kick some butt.
Amy:*channeling her rocker girl* Oh yeah Dani? You don't have what Air Raid has. That is tenacity and focus. We got this.
Floor:You must be Amy Cimorelli.
Amy:Yas. That's me, the 4'10" girl with Turner.
Floor:How you coping with it?
Amy:I've learned that I'm gonna keep doing what I love. Singing. Right now it's kicking Sugar & Spice's behind. *does air guitar*
Floor:Aren't you the country girl?
Amy:I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone.
Floor:That takes guts. I respect it 100%.
Dani's POV:When you get Floor's approval, *and she knows, she's been in various bands* you know she did good. Amy, you're going down.
Dani:OK Amy. If I beat you...you AND Christina must do anything I say.
Amy:Deal. This will be a cinch. If I beat you, you AND Lauren must do anything I say.
*Amy checks her band's score:10s across the board. I start to worry.*
Floor:My band is next, Dani I'm rooting for you. Beat your sister.
Dani:Thank you Floor.
Lauren:*raps to self*
Dani:Focus Sugar.
Lauren:Amy, prepare to lose. If we win, we're making you into a mermaid. *curse alert*
Amy:I TOLD YOU A QUADRILLION FUCKING TIMES! YOU'RE NOT MAKING ME A DAMN MERMAID! *prepares*
Dani:I'm proud of Amy. For someone going WAY outside their comfort zone...
Lauren:...she's definitely acing it.
Floor:You're next Spice. I don't care if my band wins, I want to see you beat Amy.
Dani:Why you don't wanna win?
Floor:I have nothing to prove. I am here to have fun. Nashville is nice. My first time here.
Dani:But,
Floor:Last time Nightwish was here, Anette was lead singer.
Dani:Oh.
Floor:Now go, make me proud. *gives Dani a Nightwish pin*
Dani:Thank you Floor. We'll do it, for Nightwish.
*Floor smiles* *commercial break after song*

Dani:
Way back on the radio dial,
The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child.
Every note just wrapped around his soul,
From steel guitars to Memphis, all the way to rock and roll.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."


Lauren:
Downtown is where I used to wander.
Old enough to get there but too young to get inside.
So I would stand out on the sidewalk,
Listen to the music playin' every Friday night.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."


Dani:
Some dreams stay with you forever,
Drag you around but bring you back to where you were.


Lauren:
Some dreams keep on gettin' better,
Gotta keep believin' if you wanna know for sure.


Dani & Lauren:
Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."
[x3]


Keep on dreamin'


Don't let it break your heart.
