*The music started, and the girls were lined across the front of the stage. Jade started, and they came in a little hesitantly but finally altogether.*
This is our place.The Virus left us all a little leaner.
We still have fun--
just be sure we got food and water.
Playin' in the streets.
Findin' friends down by the river.
Boys
fight each other
Try'na grow their reputations
for us.
You could travel the world,but nothing comes close to
what you'll find at home.
Once you party with us,
you'll be falling in love.
Oooooh Oh Oooooh
*The music, and the audience clapping along, and the fact that none of them was in the spotlight alone did the trick. Villa was the easy one--she just wanted to have fun. Amy was uncertain but her ego was out the window. Jade was easy to follow. Surprisingly Valentine seemed to relax and have fun.*
Fort River girls--we're unforgettable!Survivors all and proud of our skills.
This new world's hard but we kick butt
and look good doin' it.
Oooooh Oh Oooooh
*The crowd was on its feet and kids were dancing around, clapping and having fun.*
Fort River girls--we're undeniable!Fine, fresh, fierce--we got it on lock.
You all know the truth of it
so put your hands up!
Oooooh Oh Oooooh
*When the girls repeated the chorus the crowd started singing along. The Mirage echoed with music and voices and clapping.*
