Fifth Verse: Accidental Video (Sort of)

[wall_flower]

[When the feed comes on, Hawkmon's face is extremely close to the screen. There's...Is that music in the background. The bird Digimon sits back a little bit and holds a feather to his beak with a wink.

Things shift around, the scene of the bedroom Hawkmon shares with Marley passing by rather dizzily until what could only be the living room comes into view. The music, now easily made out to be just one person singing, can be heard clearly, and when the D-Terminal finally focuses on a single point...

That's Marley...dancing and singing on the couch.]

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like oh my God
Jump off that sofa, [It's here that she actually jumps off the couch and continues to dance.] let's get, get off!

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all contr-- HAWKMON!

[Uh oh! He's been spotted! Rushed, the D-Terminal is shut off right as Marley comes running up.]

[Marley shrugs, her eyes downcast.]

It's just the how the social ladder works in high school. You're either popular or you're not.

[ Rise is popular because she was an ex-idol, but she still experienced teachers that hate her or even other students. ]

I'm sorry for bringing it up, Marley ...

[Marley glances at the D-Terminal screen and her lips turn up in a small smile. She gives a gentle shake of her head.]

It's okay. It's just the way things are. I try not to let it bother me so much because...well, I still have fun with the Glee Club, so they're not stopping me from enjoying what I love to do.

You're really brave ...

[ The few people she didn't like didn't ruin something she loved doing for her. Rise was ashamed to say that she wasn't like that. Because she couldn't stand some people in the business of being an idol ... she decided to quit even though she clearly still loved it. ]

[Brave? No, she's not brave. If she were brave, she wouldn't have let herself get so distraught and stressed that she now has to see a therapist because of an eating disorder. Rise doesn't need to know THAT much, but she'll still shake her head slowly.]

Me? I'm not brave. My friend Unique is brave. So much braver than I am...
