Okay I finally did the challenge. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be! I didnt like it much at first but then Anna read it and liked it so I guess I have to post it. *sigh* It's about Taran and Ember. 

Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton

Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just trying to get by.

The school bus dropped me off in front of the library, and I hurried inside. The smell of old books and quiet readers filled me, and I sighed and relaxed. I needed a place I could escape to, a place where I wouldn't be lonely.

Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.

There was a movement besides me and Taran was there, he looked up at the stars with me.

And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.

"Wait! Ember!" Taran said as he stopped besides me.
"What did you want?" I asked.
"Well the thing is," he paused a bit nervously than continued "I want to come with you too."
"You do?" now I was really surprised. "I wouldn't think you would ever want to go back there."
"No I don't really, but I want to help other people like me," he explained. "My power, you see, its healing."
Healing. What a neat power that would be to have, I thought as he told me. 
"Well all right, Taran," I said at last. "You can come." He grinned and ducked his head, and I smiled and continued walking.

He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

"It'll be all right," then someone spoke, and I turned around to see who it was. Taran was smiling at me and everyone, and he spoke again. "It'll all turn out for the best." 

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

"Ember, I've wanted to say something for the past weeks," Taran said after a moment of silence. "But I never could make myself do it. Now, I may not have another chance."

Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes

I looked up at his face, the moon was shining on it. "What?" I asked. 

His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.

Taran opened his mouth-- sighed and looked away. He lifted his hands as if to explain something, but then he took a deep breath and bent down and I felt myself being kissed for the very first time.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.

Taran sat next to me, I wanted to talk but I felt shy all of a sudden. I just smiled a bit at him and he whispered "It'll be all right."

Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed

The moon and the hooting of the owl outside stilled my tears, the night seemed melancholy for my sake.

And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

"Ember?" It was Taran. "Are you all right?" 
"Yes," I said after a moment, not quite able to keep the quiver out of my voice. I looked down and my hair fell about my face, hiding the tears. Taran slowly came forward and sat sideways on the bed, looking at the moon and me silently. 

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand,
In the palm of your hand.

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by.

I shrugged, the feeling of soaring on clouds was leaving me and I was wondering that too. How had I known?

Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.

"Its because you're you," Taran spoke from the crowd and smiled at me. "You're you." I smiled back at him, a secret little smile and my heart was full of gladness. 

But he was looking to the sky.

And there you have it! I did have all the lyrics slanty but it took it out when I copied it. Now I cant wait to see all yours! *chuckles evilly*
