Roy and Boys (that rhymes hehe)
Roy's letting everyone know that they can bet on him
The mentors were surprised that Batgirl stepped on to the stage looking rather uncomfortable. "Um...now we have Red Arrow and the guys accompanying him." she said before darting off. The stage was dark, until Roy stood in the middle slightly aggravated and the four boys stood with their backs towards him. Roy took a deep breath as the opening notes began.
Everybody's always talking at me
Everybody's trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead (Did you ever)
Lose yourself to get what you want (Did you ever)
Get on a ride then wanna get off (Did you ever)
Push away the ones you should held close
Did you ever let go, did ever not know
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all got that is my plan
Will I find what I lost you know you
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
I wanna make it right that is the way
To turn my life around today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it bet on it bet on it bet on it
Roy now knows why Robin made him sing this song. This was the part of the movie where Troy Bolton had to figure out what type of guy he was going to be. Whether he was going to be a stuck up jerk or if he was going to be the all around guy everyone knows and love. Though it's not like it applied to him, right...right?
How will I know if there's a path worth taking
Should I question every move I make
With all I lost my heart if breaking
I don't wanna make the same mistakes (Did you ever)
Doubt your dreams will ever come true (Did you ever)
Blame the world, but never blame you (I will never)
Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna play this game if you don't play it your way
But he was playing it his way. He just lost a few people in the process…. Okay, he lost a lot of people in the process. He lost just about everyone. His friends, his family…. Himself.
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all got that is my plan
Will I find what I lost you know you
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
I wanna make it right that is the way
To turn my life around today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it bet on it bet on it bet on it
Oh, hold up
Do what you think
Bring it on now
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing
Oh, hold up
The boys all proceeded to turn their backs to Roy, except for Conner who volunteered to do this part since it made the other three rather emotional.
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own… it's such a scary place
The answers are all inside of you
All you gotta do is believe
I do believe in my self. I don't need anyone, he thought, I don't need... I need hi-
I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop till I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
Will end up on top again
Bet on it bet on it bet on it bet on it
You can bet on it bet on it bet on it bet on it (Bet on me!)
I wanna make it right that is the way
To turn my life around today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it bet on it bet on it bet on it
You can bet on me!
The mentors applauded appreciatively and Roy smiled widely before running backstage. "I'm doing another with Conner!" he yelled and Conner looked confused as Roy dragged him off.
"I don't remember agreeing to this!" he cried and the mentor's looked at the protégés confused who shrugged in return.
... I originally didn't write it like this... I literally just wrote the boy's solo lines in just a few minutes ago... what did I do? Jesus... if you aren't emotional or anything check out the next chapter... I swear it's not angsty like this one...
The song was Bet On It from the wonderful High School Musical by Zac Efron.
