Luke: *goes and gets into position*

Illust: *takes a deep breath, getting a reassuring squeeze frm her fellow backup singers n got prepared*

*the crowd keeps chanting until the lights turn down, everyone goes nuts. On the screens, various scenes from history are scene and then...out from the stage, Light Man comes out of the ground, holdin an orb with information on it and then it floats away. The suit begins to open and Luke is revealed slowly and he steps out of the suit*

*the crowd goes wild, someone already fainted frm the excitement*

Luke: *he looks around, seeing the vast sea of people...he points his finger into the air and then...Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' kicks on*

*the crowd sang along whenever he sang the chorus part*

Illust: All I wanna say is that they dont reli care abt us *sang along with the backup singers*

Luke: All I wanna say is, they don't really care about us! *It goes into the hard rock interlude, with Luke running to the side of the stage to join with Orianthi, and headbang a little bit. The dancers join, the song stops to play some patriotic music while hearing a brief clip of Martin Luther King's speech and then a part of HIStory is played before going back to TDCAU*

*all the crowd headbanged along with Ori's guitar playing, some of them dancing n singing to the music, n they evn move their hands the same way the prisoners did in the TDACU music video along with the singing*

Luke: All I want to say is they don't really care about us! *Just as the song ends, car horns rae heard and then a brief snippet of Why You Wanna Trip on Me is played, the dancers moving foward with Luke and then the song ends*

*the crowd goes wild again, more fainting ensued*

Luke: *the stage is clear of the dancers. Only Luke remains* Whew. Give it up for the dancers! They're amazing, aren't they?

*the crowd says YEAH~!!!*
