Rise To Stardom - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Electrified!
Beautiful tanned skin, charcoal-black irises, long midnight-black hair… these were all traits the four beautiful teenage sisters shared.

Yet, despite being regarded as campus belles in their high-school, a title the sisters never even wanted, their male peers who placed them on a pedestal would actually, find them even more endearing when they saw just how boisterously they were laughing at the first scene of the music video of [Electrified]!

“Five Fusion my ass! Heavens?!! What’s with their get-up?!!” Juliette clutched her belly as tears formed on her eyelids.

–

“Dogs! I’m so glad to see you!”

“We have names, you know?”

–

“This, is, wild… never realized how much I wanted to see Steven in suspenders and Carl as a potbellied producer until today…” Jade, the most reserved of her sisters and also the second daughter by a few seconds, chuckled audibly as Juliette, the third sister, kept laughing exuberantly.

–

“Carl, Steven, Ryan, Joe and Kite!”

“It’s Kyle.”

“Whatever you say kiddo!”

–

“What even is this…” Julia, their eldest, laughed mirthfully as she watched Janet, taking a screenshot with the TV’s remote while similarly laughing out loud.

Sure they knew that Kyle had featured the four artists in the song as they had listened to it earlier in the day but they honestly, weren’t expecting the music video to be so ridiculous.

“Meme worthy?” Curious Janet then turned to ask her sisters.

“Definitely!” they all responded as the music video went on, only to burst into another round of amused laughter when songwriter guys, Bennie and Fred, walked in with their wheel board.

–

“Uh, this is a songwriting board.”

“We… uh… we use it when we’re… uh… not sure what type of song to write…”

–

“I can’t… I jus-… I just can’t…Hahahaha!” Exuberant Juliette threw her head back this time, her laughter contagious enough to get even Cool Jade and Mature Julia similarly reeling in the ridiculousness of Ryan and Joe, acting as awkward songwriters.

As for Technical Janet, she simply stared at the Smart TV screen, similarly chuckling with interest.

–

“Go on dogs. Throw it!”

“The Electric, Fried Song?”

–

“Oh~. It sounds very similar to [Electrified]!” Janet pointed out and her sisters whom were still recovering from the aching tummies, struggled to nod in response.

However, just before she got curious enough to know ask where Kyle’s alter ego was, the teenage ladies, watched as the door opened and a secretary with high heels and a tray of refreshments in her hands, slowly walked in.

Although her facial features were yet to be seen, the ladies could only watch in amusement when a distant energetic beat, began to increase slightly as all the guys sat there, entranced by her.

They were, quite literally, frozen in time.

And just like that, the cameras panned over to Kyle whom was also seated on one of the couches, same as his buddies, the long shot zooming into his pupils as it transitioned into the very same stage, their producers had prepared for their next hit song!

It was a concert with over a thousand fans in a big auditorium, all of them screaming in excitement!

Instantly, with heavily driven, punchy and vibrant electric guitar riffs, the previously distant melody, became bold and powerful as it burst to life alongside Kyle’s energetic vocals.

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

She!

She had me sitting there,

Like a sculpted statuette,

It’s when I saw her for the first time,

And I was electrified!

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Quick as lightning, Juliette and Janet were already off the couch, their hair swaying back and forth as they energetically sang alongside Carl who took the second half of the first verse;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

I had a thousand things to say,

But none of them came out that day,

Was paralyzed in the moment,

And time refused to move

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

No sooner was Carl done with his part, Ryan’s vocals followed up in tight harmony to sing the pre-chorus;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

My world stopped moving,

My hands kept shaking,

She didn’t even know that…

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

This time, Julia and Jade, glanced over to each other and then, in one fell swoop, joined in with their sisters to sing along while Joe, whose vocals had steadily been building up in the background, took charge of the chorus alongside the other guys;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Frozen in time in time, wished I had the words to say!

Caught in your gaze, like a, s-s-static shock!

I’m tryna speak, but my lips are sealed!

She has me electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

I see her walking, all she does is pass me by,

Can’t even ask (ask!), ’cause blank is all that’s on my mind,

I’d try my luck if I was brave enough to,

But I’m electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Just like the girls were singing and energetically dancing along, the actual audience of extras in the music video were also jamming along as Steven, effortlessly took up the second verse;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

S-s-say,

Do you ever think of me?

J-j-just like I do every day,

It’s been years since back then,

Can’t believe I let you slip away,

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

As of the moment, the girls were already singing directly to one another, the narrative of the song shifting to a period long gone when the guys, were reminiscing on being unable to take their chance with the mystery lady who had them entranced.

Ryan’s vocals, once again took up the pre chorus as the intensity of the pop-rock song spiked, Joe, following up in tight harmony for the chorus;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

My world kept moving,

‘Cause she’s now a memory,

And she never even knew that…

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Frozen in time in time, wished I had the words to say!

Caught in her gaze, like a, s-s-static shock!

I tried to move, but my feet were glued!

She had me electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

I saw her walking, all she does is pass me by,

Can’t even ask (ask!), ’cause blank is all that’s on my mind,

I’d try my luck if I was brave enough to,

But I’m electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Watching the screen as ‘Five Fusion’, moved over to various corners of the stage to shake hands with fans, the tempo of the song slowing down a bit, Kyle effortlessly sang the bridge, a noticeable hint of yearning palpable, even as his voice was charged with energy;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

And I wonder if I’ll ever meet her again,

Try my luck and fingers crossed I won’t be,

Frozen in time,

Electrified,

By her…

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

At this exact moment, just as the tune of the song dimmed down for a brief moment, Adeline, mother of the four quadruplets and a professional Matron, walked through the door from a slightly hectic shift.

The cause, annoying younger nurses who never listened and always felt they knew her stuff better than her whom had more experience than she cared to admit.

However, her daughters, upon seeing her, instantly welcomed her with the melody of the song which had anthemically skyrocketed, right back to its original pop-rock charm whilst pointing in her direction;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Frozen in time in time, wished I had the words to say!

Caught in her gaze, like a, s-s-static shock!

I tried to move, but my feet were glued!

She had me electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

I saw her walking, all she does is pass me by,

Can’t even ask (ask!), ’cause blank is all that’s on my mind,

I’d try my luck if I was brave enough to,

But I’m electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Not really understanding why her daughters were so peppy though, Adeline, always ready to have fun with her kids, instantly began to dance along, her daughters similarly hyping her up!

Without even missing the rhythm, Kyle’s vocals, underpinned the outro while the rest of the guys energetically sang;

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Electrified, electrified,

(Like a static shock…)

Electrified, electrified,

(Had me frozen in time…)

She had me electrified, electrified,

E-e-electrified!

⚡ 🎸 🎵 🥁 🎶 🎤 ⚡

Laughing alongside her daughters whom were letting out high-spirited cheers of excitement alongside the screaming crowd in the music video, Adeline then crashed onto the sofa as they all laughed mirthfully, their chests heaving up and down.

However, just before she could ask what had them so animated, the teenage ladies, watched as the cameras, zoomed right out of the imaginary stage in Kyle’s head and back, into the room, his eyes blinking a few times.

At the same time, the cameras slowly panned over to the secretary.

And no sooner had the sisters seen Kyle himself in a formal female wear, complete with make-up and earrings, they immediately burst into another round of unrestrained laughter!

However, as if that wasn’t enough, the interactions between the guys on screen, was even more hilarious;

–

As the ‘hot’ secretary left the office after serving their drinks, Carl instantly shot up from his couch and declared;

“She will be mine!”

“You mean mine!” Steven, Ryan and Joe simultaneously countered!

Kyle was just about to make his own declaration too, when the guys instantly zeroed in on him;

“Made your declaration too late so you are out!” they ganged up against him in unison with gestured, crisscrossed arms, leaving the young man absolutely bamboozled.

Before Kyle could even retaliate, his buddies were rushing out the door and he, was left with Suspender, Suit, Bennie and Fred.

“Tough luck Kite.” Suspender and Suit simultaneously went on to say.

Kyle wanted to correct both of them at first but instead, he let out a groan of resignation and slumped onto his chair while sulking as he spoke to the two producers;

“I’ll write the song. And instead of [Electric Fried], we’ll name it [Electrified].”

And then the screen faded to black…

–

That was where the music video finally ended and the ladies, couldn’t help but keep laughing, much to the confusion of their contextless Mum who could only watch on in amusement.

As long as her daughters were happy, that was all that really mattered to her.

However, in the comment sections for [Electrified]’s music video, was an absolutely ridiculous string of top comments;

–

Dao of Perverseness: Hmmm… I see. Smash! Next question.

Japanese Committee Chairman: Would.

FondlingThings: Lord knows I’d tap!

SussyBaka: As long as there’s a hole, there’s a goal.

Incredible Bulk: Smash! Smash! Bulk, Smash!!

Death by Snu Snu: Kyle’s tempting my sexuality and I must say, I don’t mind.

Moshi Moshi: Hello? Hmmm… Kyle did? Smash or Pass? Smash!!! Thank you very much.

___________________________

{Electrified} – (97%)

Envisioned and brought to life by Kyle Kestis, this energetic, anthemic and infectious, charming pop-rock song, revolves around being unable to act on or express one’s feelings due to the overwhelming intensity of being so strongly captivated and entranced by someone.

Just as [Electrified] was gathering so much momentum and traction for being such a goofy music video, that was nevertheless, extremely entertaining, [Light A Fire] which was the third music video, experienced a surge in views, raising it to over 46.6M views from its previous 45.4M.

Instantly, it dethroned the energetic pop-rock at 45.5M with over a million views as it soared from #3 to #2 on ViewTube’s Music & Entertainment section.

This, same music video was one that a certain group of theatre kids at a renowned high school, all of whom had snuck out of PE class to head into the computer room nearby, found themselves excitedly gearing up to watch as the projector, transitioned from the previous video to it.
