Into the World of Twisted Wonderland Pt 2

👑 The Beautiful Tyrant: Chapter 35 👑

"I see my spuds are all present and accounted for," Vil says as he looks at the group. "Have you all memorized the song?"

"Yes, sir," Jamil answers. "Start to finish."

"Y-yes, sir!" Epel answers.

"Then it's time to try singing it together," he states. "Manager, start the music," Angel could only comply as she presses the play button as the melody starts to fill the air. Once the beat dropped, Vil started to sing first, his voice starting to compliment with the music. After a while Jamil steps in, his voice matching with Vil's, only for Ace and Deuce to step in with in, making his voice seem more powerful that usual. After another while, Epel stepped in, with Rook and Kalim following his lead, his soft voice, becoming more mature and strong as they sing behind him. The group continued this until the song in, each covering each other's mistakes, not ruining the song, but only enhancing it further. Angel and Grim watched with awe as their voices fill the room, synchronized perfectly with the music, almost as if the song was made for exactly them. They carefully hit certain notes, maybe because they were under Vil's look, while also covering their mistakes, reminding themselves that main vocals were the stars of the song, and they the others were there to accompany them, however, they sang in perfect harmony. When the music ended, it took a while for Angel to even register that the music stopped. She was entranced by the singing that it only took her a few moments to realize that the music stopped.

"Wow..." She says in awe. "You guys are like pro singers!"

"Oh...Oooooh...OOOOOOOH!" Kalim happily says as they process her words. "GAH! I was so awestruck by the main vocalists that I suddenly forgot I was on the chorus!"

"Come on," Jamil sighs. "You should know better than that."

"That's just how good it sounded. My body kicks into dance mode all on its own!"

"Trés bien!" Rook exclaims. "What a splendid harmony it was."

"I agree," Deuce happily says. "Everybody was on fire there!"

"Hmph," Vil scoffs. "It's hardly cause to celebrate. The performance was, quite frankly, a mess. The main vocals were off-key, and the chorus was much too loud and pronounced."

"I sang my heart out there, and now you're telling me I'm not supposed to?" Ace sighs. "Being part of the backup is harder than I thought. Maaaan! I wish I'd gotten main vocals."

"Spudling One," Vil says as he looks at Ace. "If you fail to grasp the importance of the chorus, then a shot at main vocals is further off for you than the seven jeweled hills. Any disruption to the harmony between the main melody and chorus makes a song sound worse. You would do well to remember that."

He sighs. "Yessir. I'll try."

"We'll be dancing and singing simultaneously at the show," Vil states to the group. "It's only going to get harder from here. Next up: dance rehearsal. Let's get started. Spudling Two, Epel, you do know what you two are supposed to be doing, I assume."

"Yes, sir," they say as they head to the rails attacked to the wall.

"Good. Then for the others, we proceed as normal," he says as Angel starts the music. What Vil said about dancing and singing simultaneously isn't that far from the truth. As she watches everyday except Deuce and Epel dance, she could see what it was hard to do both. Just dancing alone takes a lot of energy, and the fact that most of everyone seemed tired from dancing was proof of that. To keep dancing, while singing, alongside appearances is a lot of work. She sighs as she watches. Vil's right. It is going to get harder from here.
