You all hate me. But none of you know a DAMN thing about what my life is like. However... no big deal. You all can just do what you do best.

Anyways... I'm out. You all want me dead. Fine. Once i get what i need from here... i'm outta here. Just see if i give a damn about what any of you think anymore. Toodles. Cretins. It's been fun.

All it shows is that you people are the true immature ones. Thanks for clearing that up. Now i know. You're all immature. Nice to know that immaturity in people is universal.

I can see your posts people. You think i'm that stupid that i can't see you all talking trash about me and when i call you out on it... you all go cryin' like little babies instead of owning up to it.

Bio

The Background is just as you may see. Macie's a Singer and a Celebrity. She is said to be identical to the appearance of the S.Korean superstar Eunha. but in all honesty... she's just a casual person living the dream. When there are others who're not trying to constantly place her upon the pedestal and lean it to where she endures the same destined fate as the Fallen King... The one who spread love and peace before her time.

Interview about me: 

Macie: *On Air* This is really a first for me.

Arnold: *On Air* Welcome to the Show, Macie. It’s a fabulous surprise and a treasure to have the beloved rising star here on the show. Even if you weren’t a celeb… we’d practically love you anyway as you’re… well… let’s face it straight. You are kind, Gentle. You don’t cause a fuss. You’re very soft spoken and very sincere with who you are and how you want to be seen.

Macie: I guess that is a swell way to describe me. But i am more outgoing and it’s been that way since… oh… gosh, since i was encountered by a very strange man. I really don’t know who he is… where he came from. But whoever he is… he gave me a new life and a massive new existence. I am not the lowly girl that i once was… once upon a time.

Arnold: Lowly? Why… would you think of yourself as that?

Macie: It’s because of how people back in my old hometown saw me. They know who they are too… But i don’t blame them. I blame myself as something that a good friend once said to me. Actually i think it was the brother to my best friend Joanna Barlow.. Her brother said: “If you don’t have faith in yourself… how do you expect for anyone else to have any for you? No one out there… outside of the entire gang… provided on how big the size of the gang is… have any faith in someone who has no faith within themselves. It’d be considered a waste to them. But… having faith in yourself… It makes others notice and want to come to you. Because they see that you are out doing what you love… and aren’t afraid to do it. That you have faith in yourself and believe you can do it.”

Arnold: Kinda blunt and a bit of a sting. But there is a point in that. If you don’t believe in yourself… No one else is bound to either. *to the listeners* This is all about the Rising star. Her beginning… current and future. Macie Melody Lightfoot… was born in Stratford, Connecticut  on April 22nd 2031 at Stratford Medical hospital. at 1:35 PM. She was brought into this world and was foretold to be filled with Love. She was brought into this world by a couple of Ph.D’s Named Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. They were blessed with the greatest gift of all. A remarkable daughter that if they were to guide her… as well as they said to have done. Macie would have had a happy childhood. For her story… it wasn’t as happy as one would assume it to be. Behind the New aged Celeb… there is a tale of sadness… loneliness and abandonment. Even… Neglect. This is her story. How her beginning came to where it is now… *To Macie* Alot of the listeners are all behind you. they all adore you. Cherish you and see you as something special. Which you are indeed quite that. But what was it like in the very beginning of your life. Where you grew up?

Macie: *On Air* I don’t really wish to speak of that… But it’s best if i were to get it out. My Childhood was pretty lonesone as i had no friends. None. I was rather a very health-conscious girl. Nasally and would be in need of decongestants. The doctors when i was about 4… Diagnosed me with a condition where i had a particular heart ailment. Turner’s Syndrome. But i never knew what it was… The doctors never said and my parents were afraid to say to me that i had it. They played the denial card and it worked. However… every now and then i’d feel a type of tickle in my heart. Not bad… but just where it felt… like someone petting the side of a cat. Gentle and softly. but it felt like someone trying to tickle your heart. Sending goosebumps all over the inside. My Childhood was lonesome till i met my first friend in the first grade. A girl who when got older… became a gossip queen. Wanting to be… Popular and would do what it took to be it. She would try too hard and still fail. Her biological name is Deirdre Hortense Bishop. But i knew her as Dodie. She came to be like a really good friend. Self centered at times and very into wanting to be part of the “In” Crowd. But she never needed to. She had me. I should have been enough. But then when second grade came… She and I Met this Orange haired frizzy girl named Ginger Foutley. She and Dodie both became friends… Best friends. BFF’s And that was where we started things to birth the ritual of B.F.T sanctity. Things that we 3 would do as tradition. Which of course was in jeopardy when it came to the 7th grade. The Talent Show. We were to do the Talent Show skit of the Little Seal girl. I was faithful to the end with it. Ginger and Dodie were too… till Courtney Gripling. The popular and rich girl plus Miranda Killgallen… the mean sassy girl. Insecure with herself to the point where she felt that she needed to make people miserable around her. Sad. Because whether she believes it or not… I seemed to admire her. Anyways… They were stating how embarrassing it would be to be us doing the skit only to be laughed at. They told me that maybe we could do something else. And i told them… “Shame on two. The Little Seal Girl act has been like a part of our lives since the second grade.” But they were set to maybe do something else… I couldn’t take it. I grabbed the ball and told them off and stormed off… As i did… I decreed the line: “Seal Girl Lives on!”

Arnold: *On Air* What did that do to the friendship you guys had?

Macie: *On Air* It tarnished it a bit. But they somehow still supported me in the end. They worked as curtain pullers where if i were to “Bomb” the show… They’d pull the curtains and hide me. But i didn’t. I actually was all in with it. I was a little scared at first till suddenly a burst of Courage… that was buried deep down inside me… came out and erupted. I sang out long… strong… and with emotional sincerity. After the song was done… i awaited for the winner to be called. Turned out… It was me. I won. I was seen as so lame that i was actually good. I ranked higher than Courtney’s Skit that was about her… called: “Courtney’s World”. I however felt bad afterwards because i felt that i broke the sacred tradition… of B.F.T. Best Friend Tradition. I was actually sweating inside the seal girl suit. It was like… hot inside it and i was looking to get out of it. When i did… It was a relief.

Arnold: *On Air* Wow… So that was your first ever time on a stage? Singing?

Macie: *On Air* Yeah. I think that deep down… i felt that i was meant to sing and dance. Become a star. But i was back then… this type of girl who was just so… so lacking in self confidence that… i just didn’t go for it. I was one who saw that as long as i was quiet and more in the shadows… i wouldn’t be antagonized or taunted. Ridiculed. Which… in that town… Most people didn’t really think much about me. Plus… with my parents being hardly home… I couldn’t really speak about anything. I had to bottle up everything that i felt and just lock it away. Couldn’t tell my parents. They were hardly home long enough so that i could.

Arnold: *On Air* That must have been lonely for you. A sad life and with parents who are supposed to be there for you. To listen to what’s bothering you and try to have a parent to child chat… Just to let you get out what ever it is that is bugging you. But are never there. That was neglect. Wasn’t it?

Macie: *On Air* I wouldn’t want to consider it… Neglect exactly… It’s just that they get so wrapped up with their work that they lot of times don’t slow down to realize that: “Oh sweet mother of mercy… we almost forgot to check up on our daughter Macie. Make sure she’s alright.” They as my love… Ridge would say as when i went back to my now old and past hometown and showed him my room As well as showed my bestfriend Joanna Barlow and Cherry Ipkiss. Plus as well as Frank who’s my adoptive father and one i happen to love very much. Ridge came out and said: “They come and go… and they don’t even try to come check on you. Make sure you’re okay? I mean… granted that they’re assured that you’re okay and everything… They should still check on you every once in a while. It’s kinda what people call good parenting.” He was right. I mean it did kinda hurt when he said it… but he was right. He was right. Now i am sure that my parents… Biological parents are listening. I hope that they know that i don’t hate them. I could never hate them. Never. Even after knowing about what they did and didn’t do. I still love them and always will. I left them… but i kept the Lightfoot name. I am proud to be one and nothing on this planet. Nothing in the world could ever deem to take that away.

Arnold: *On Air* However for the Emancipation to have been legal and without any snags… given since the Emancipation laws were different in each state. It had different ways of being handled. Delicately. When you were about to be emancipated… from your parents… Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot… What was that like?

Macie: *On Air* I uh… hmm… Well… IT was kinda dramatic and emotional in a way. It was rather hard as it just came… like… really quick. I was hearing all that was being said… but inside i was hearing myself bawling in tears. I am not sure… if it was tears of happiness or sadness. But it was something which rattled me. I remember being told… “Macie… This is it. Once they sign off and Emancipate you… giving you over to Frank… You’ll become his daughter. But before this happens. The Judge and I want to know… Is this… decision from what you just now heard…. Is this what you want? Are you sure that you’re up for this?” I knew that it was something which would be life altering. But before all that… All that happened…

Arnold: *On Air* There’s more to your life that you seek to tell… Something that you believe people should hear… Right?

Macie: *On Air* Yeah.

Arnold: *On Air* Of course. This is hard on you to be reliving the past a little… but you are one that falls into the concept… “you can’t know where you are going until you know where you have been” I think Maya Angelou said it the best. So… from that point in time… from you Singing on Stage at the talent show. What did it lead to?

Macie: *On Air* It led to things like well… A summer at this place. A place called Camp Caprice. Yeah. I don’t even know on recalling memories of that place. But i wasn’t the only one that went… Dodie and Ginger also went. Not to leave out that Courtney also went. She was originally gonna go on a cruise and with Miranda. Yeah… Those two were… inseparable… Like Siamese cats. Never. But Miranda kinda told her that she’d never be one to get dirty and be one with the outdoors and camp outside and the sort. She took offense to that and decided to come to camp with us. Leaving Miranda without a fun Summer. I kinda wanted to laugh. I truly did… but i didn’t. Because that’d be rather mean and i wasn’t like that. It did hurt her. Alot.

Arnold: *On Air* What was it like at that Camp?

Macie: *On Air* It was rather enjoyable. Even though it was a bit like playing like a little kid and clearly… at that time i was like… what? 12. Yeah… 12 and i was doing camp stuff with other girls as it was a camp mostly for girls. Ginger and Dodie were also having a swell time. There was a lot of peace there. Activities. Things to do. Plus of course Dodie was made as asst. Camp counselor. A complete busy body… Having to be one to have control. I think to this day that she wants to be something she might never be. But she should just be happy being her. Not try on consorting to being what others would expect her to be. She wants to be popular because she may see herself as a loser. Like i felt that i was being seen as. Which is sad. But she’s not a loser. A Little self absorbed at times. A little conniving. Stuck up with her own desires and all… but she’s not a loser. She’s driven in her own way. Just that… the way she goes about it… is a little offensive. She’s not a bad person. Just rather clingy and a bit afraid of there being so much change as i think it’s because in her mind… the young years… are the best and said to believe on being full of innocence. That the thing that scares her most is that by facing change… it would strip her of the innocence and she doesn’t want to lose that. I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t want to lose it either. However… as much as it hurts… As much as it might sting… We all gotta grow up sometime.

Arnold: *On Air* You’re so right. So right about that. *To the Listeners* This is the Lord Arnold Variety hour 2 hour special with the full story on our Rising Star. The one and Only Macie Melody Lightfoot. As sworn testimony from her own lips and eyes to our hearts and ears. We’re gonna take a short break… but when we come back… More on the story of our Rising Star and behind the artist who’s captured our hearts. Don’t go away folks. More is on the way…

During the 5 minute break…

Arnold: *Laughing* Oh god. Macie, You really had the listeners going there… With that one part. You mean that you had a gossip loving friend back over in that town that was so into wanting to be popular that she’d actually… debase herself into doing things that would get her accepted?

Macie: Yeah… *Cheering* Yeah. I actually couldn’t stop from letting it out. I was just telling it as i remembered it. I mean… I emancipated myself from that previous life. But i still in some way… recall bits and pieces of all that’s happened once upon a time.

Arnold: It’s good though. Because with this… the viewers or listeners are getting an in depth look at the artist that has sang and danced straight into the hearts of many.

Macie: Some of the things that i seem to speak of… I feel rather weird about. It’s as if i feel a huge hole inside me that i know that left for a reason… But maybe i left it all… before i was completely ready to.

Arnold: You couldn’t be thinking that. I mean… Look how far you’ve come. You’ve come a very long way from how you once were. You’re well known by all. Everyone is crazy in love with you. You have like… love coming from every direction of you. If you didn’t leave that life… none of this would have come to pass. granted that it was hard. That’s not a doubt in anyone’s mind. None at all. But you got a whole family of people who literally just love you. Love you like none other.

Macie: Plus a loving boyfriend. Who the other week proposed to me. He asked me to marry him. It’s actually rather sweet of him. It’s a long engagement though. So… there won’t be… a wedding for at least a couple of years. Like maybe when i am 17. possibly 18. Serena and Carly black are married. They’re over 18… Blossom and Leslie are wed. at 16. Spencer and Rikku mentioned that they got married at 14. It’s sweet and so endearingly romantic. But i am all for waiting a couple years. Make the official tying of the knot worth it more. Besides… i don’t think that the schools we go to would take well to it. Not that i’d worry about what they think. It’s just better that way.  For him and I. And everyone.

Arnold: Sounds like a plan. Gotta make decisions that would suit not only one… but all.

Once the break was over…

Arnold: *On Air* We’re back with more of the Lord Arnold’s Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. Getting a true look behind the beloved Rising star. The complete story being told true by the Rising Star herself. Macie Melody Lightfoot. We’re here to hear more of her story… *To Macie* Macie, You said something about what the girl was like… What did you mean?

Macie: *On Air* Nothing really. What i believe was that Dodie was that sort of person who didn’t want to face all that much change. However… in her heart… she knew that she had to. Like when Ginger was accepted into the Avalanche Arts academy… Dodie was hysterical. in a fit of tears… She went into a fit and right in front of Darren Patterson. The neighbor to Ginger. “I don’t want to hold Ginger back. Honestly, i don’t. But this is like my worst nightmare totally coming true. She’s… She’s like my best friend.” And seconds later… there she went. Crying. Just would cry. She would bawl into tears. And i thought that i cried that much. She’s worse than i am and that’s sad as i am or used to be the most sensitive as of course i happen to wear my heart upon my sleeves as i have all this love in me. But the crying. Sweet mother of seriously… Is Dodie that deprived of human contact that she she needs to cling? Not that it’s a bad thing. But that’s be like if Joanna was to go out and do something and god forbid if i didn’t go with her on every single outing. It’s kinda like a piece from the episode before last of season five of Smallville when Lois gives Clark a sort of heart to heart…  when was feeling like hell for snooping into Lana’s things like a jealous ex-boyfriend… Lois said to him: “Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole night-stalker routine that is gonna ruin any of the good feelings Lana has for you.” The only difference is… that Dodie was clingy. Too clingy. I kinda was too… but i at least gave some space. I had control. It hurt to know that Ginger was leaving for the academy. But i also understood. I understood and knew that Ginger deserved it. It was something for her. But then i told her… “We’re all best friends. But Ginger won’t be gone forever, Dodie.” Darren chimed in…“It’s only for one semester.” Then that was when she went at it… Again. Stating: “Just One Semester. Just one semester!? Do you have any idea how much can happen in just one Semester?!?! My bangs could totally be grown out by then… Just to put it into perspective!” She was really dramatic. But later… we came to find out that the scholarship was a total sham. It was all due to a ploy to get rid of Ginger. And two people were behind it. Miranda Killgallen and Mipsy Mipson. God i can’t stand Mipsy. She was the worst. She was the one that saw me as a total loser most of all. Miranda didn’t. Not really. Just that she didn’t see all that much into me. No offense. it was just… her. Mipsy had a cousin named Thea Mipson who helped orchestrate the whole thing. But it was later… when Ginger came back… Dodie and I inadvertently became part of a prank. Operation G-D. *Remembering the past memory* I felt so bad about it.
I cried. I cried over the mean act. It was so horrible. I hated the taste of it. I never forgave myself for it.
 
Never. *Breaking into tears and Crying over the memory*

Arnold: *On Air* Wow! That has to really strike a chord. The hurt you feel over being regrettably part of an attempt to hurt another. Whoever this mipsy is… She is no kind soul. But the pain you feel is sincere. We feel for you. We really do.

Macie was heard over the radio crying and it lasted about a couple minutes as she was feeling the shame. It didn’t take long for her to get herself back together.

Macie: *Sniffles and wiping her tears away* Sorry. I got a rush of past memories that i should have left in the past as it’s been done and over with. I left all that behind. But the memories never will fade.

Arnold: *On Air* Some memories seldom do.

Macie: *On Air* There was more… Like when we all graduated from middle school. It was like saying goodbye. Goodbye to the past and into the future. I was full of worry. But then it was to be expected. There was a lot to consider. Too much. I was also flirted on by this band geek named Andrew. I broke up with him via public message at a game and during a Band Drill performance. But that was before… life for me changed… Before i met my new best friend Joanna Barlow.

Arnold: *On Air* Okay… How did you meet her for the first time?

Macie: *On Air* I… oh gosh… It’s like a memory that i endured only a short time ago. Last year. I was on my way from some band competition that clearly was from like Utah. It’s kinda silly to think about it. Because it was like my life changed so much since that time. The Bus that the other students and I were on…had made a pit stop at this pancake house in Wichita. However i only turned my back for about a moment. Because i was using the restroom to see on getting a stain out from the Uniform that we were wearing. Yeah… It was a band uniform. I was in it. Miranda was in the bus too… however she never noticed me not being on the bus after the bus left and went off towards the Old hometown. Neither did the driver. I was stranded. So i walked my way back and walked off. going east. East on towards the next city. It was gonna be miles and miles away before i’d reach it. But i made way towards it. However, as i made way over… i came across a wreck. An accident that was odd. I didn’t know who it was and what happened. But i went to go  see and that was when i saw this odd girl. She wasn’t really that odd… but i sure had never seen anyone like her before. I didn’t think that i’d meet anyone out in the middle of possible nowhere. As it was… i didn’t have any money. So i couldn’t call a cab. I would need at least… 1000 dollars for that. Or a bus ticket. I didn’t even have that either. I didn’t know the # to home… so i couldn’t even call home from where i was. So… i was up the creek without a paddle. I Met Joanna while i was stranded there and she was the one who clearly looked like she got sent flying into a wooden pole and just left for dead. However she was lying there and within a few steps from a busted up Motorcycle. She was one who knew how to ride. Now… for someone like me… one who was the shy and meek. or what i used to be… That was pretty startling. but deep down… i thought it was rather exciting. To meet someone who knew how to ride. I felt concerned for her. Seeing her there alone. No one was gonna come to check on her. from the way it seemed. So… i did the right thing by going over to her and asking if she was okay…

Macie flashes back as tells the first time she met Joanna…

“Joanna: *Waking up and seeing the Preteen girl* You’re confused… i’d think. because i happen to be a girl. *slowly getting up* Oh man… What the heck happened? I feel like i was hit by a train. or at least a semi.

*Standing* I don’t seem to know who you are… but i will state that i’m thankful that someone came to my aide here. You don’t even know me. But yet… you still came to my aide. We never met. But you’re here now. Standing before me. Why? Where did you come from anyway?

Girl: I’m on my way back with the school band back to Topeka. (Was she trying to cover up that she was really from Connecticutt) Or was. I missed the bus. and i don’t have a way back. *Nasally* The band had a competition up in Utah. And we were on our way back… when we happened to stop for some food since we were getting hungry. But i didn’t get to the bus in time and they happened to leave without me.

Joanna: Where did you guys stop for food?

Girl: At a Pancake house.

Joanna: Where at?

Girl: Wichita.

Joanna: I don’t know who you are… or what your name is. But, i can’t just leave you here stranded without a way back. I’m pretty sure that your parents’re gonna be pissed or if nothing more worried sick if you don’t return back to where your place of residence is. So, why not come along with me. We’ll get through this bull together.

Girl: Okay. *Sneezing* Sorry. Clogged nose.

Joanna: It’s okay. You probably just caught some dust particles and it went up your nose. Probably an allergen or something. You’ll be okay. Come on. We gotta find ourselves a means of transportation. I gotta get back to Metropolis where some remnant form of my life can be found or for a chance to maybe create a new one… if by chance. I would suppose that you’ll need a better life as well. Least till you get back with your folks.

Girl: If that might be likely. But i wouldn’t count on it as they live in connecticut. I’m several states away from where they are.

Joanna: I’ll tell you what. Till that day comes where you can be reunited with your parents or by chance that they happen to come to Metropolis and likely move to there and live in Metropolis… You’ll be my right hand wheel. You just stick by me. I’ll protect you. I might be a girl… but don’t think that i can’t produce some kind of fight if i gotta. *Curious* What are you supposed to be anyway? A Band Geek? Just curious.

Girl: I guess so. I am in the local school band, you know. I am one of the band members in the school band.

Joanna: Don’t tell me. Sheltered Shrubs, right?

Girl: Yeah. Although it’s Lucky High School. But how did you know?

Joanna: Lucky guess, i’d suppose. *grins*

Girl: Wow! Good guess.

Joanna: *Driving the Motor Scooter* What’s your name? I can’t keep calling you Preteen girl. Unless you happen to sort of like that.

Girl: *Nasally* Macie. Macie Lightfoot.

Joanna: Hmm… That’s a unique name if i’ve ever heard one in my life. That’s a nice name. Well… It’s nice to meet you, Macie. I’m Joanna. Joanna M. Barlow. M for Matilda.

Macie: Joanna… That’s a good name.

Joanna: Thanks, Macie. Good knowing that you think so. I like the name too…but sometimes i wonder if it would be possible to have my name changed. Well… at least my first name. Of course… It’s not bad. I had this name since i was born and it was the name i was given. But… What about you? *Curious* Do you even like your name even if it is a rather nice one for all intents and purposes?

Macie: I don’t know. *Nasally* I don’t think that i’ve really thought about it like that before. I kinda wonder about the name. First and last name… but no middle. My parents never told me what it was and it was never put on any of the legal forms nor was it ever discussed.

Joanna: Perhaps we can come up with one. Everyone’s entitled to having a middle name. I’m thinking of something that fits what you are like. The core. Something that highlights you. *Thinking* How about Melody. Macie Melody Lightfoot. It rather is fitting.

Macie: I like the sound of that. *Giggles* Melody.

Joanna: It suits you. You should bring this up with your folks though and see what it is that they think about it. It would be a nice change in things. A nice change in name. Not much of a change… Just that there now would be a middle name lodged into it.

Macie: Right. *Nods*”

Macie: *On Air* Joanna gave me that middle name. Melody. But she never would gather that i was always with that as a middle name. Just that my parents never called me that. So… i never put it in. But my full name was in fact… Macie Melody Lightfoot. All my life. Joanna and I hit it off pretty fast and we became close. She from then on… Protected me. Guarded me. I returned the gesture and helped her quit a habit. Made her better. She did me a service and befriended me… She didn’t have to. But she did. What did it was that we were both loners. She was emancipated with issues. Ones that she gave me the tale of… Told me all about it. I never told and i never will. I made her a promise… and if there is nothing else people remember about me. They can always know this… When i make a promise… I keep that promise. I settle with none less.

Arnold: *On Air* Well… we’re all gonna remember you, Macie. A person would have to be blind and totally obliterate to not remember you. From that moment you met… things went on and there lead to you coming to this city. Keeping a rather low profile. Right?

Macie: *On Air* At first… Yeah. Then when i started on the first day of Metropolis High… I was rather nervous. I didn’t know anyone. Nobody. However… after the first day… that afternoon… I met a wonderful Goth girl. Macie Terrace. Fondly known as Macie T. She calls me Squirt. But it’s out from terms of admiration and acceptance. She liked me. I also made a friend like Zoey Rhapsody. She was pretty nice. I liked her. Aqua Rainbow White. Ridge Mercer… who actually since day one flirted with me. He and I soon after became boyfriend and girlfriend. We didn’t even know each other long enough and already… He and I are… tied. He and I are… long engaged. But i happened to make a lot of friends and i love them all…

Arnold: *On Air* That was very sincere. Macie, you have a golden heart. It’s just there for us all to see. *To the Listeners* This is The Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. And you’ve been listening to the Full story of Macie’s beginnings and life. From her eyes and lips. For all to hear. We’re gonna take a short break… and when we come back… We’ll hear about Macie’s first album and what her plans are for the second Album. What we can perhaps expect for the second Album. Then hear about her concert and what to expect for the concert. Then hear about her plans for the future. Where the future will take her from the concert. Don’t forget that the phone lines are open for callers. If there is a question that you have for Macie and want her to answer it on the Air… Call the Radio Station at 1-219-591-4918 Or go online and go to mrhapmetropolis.org/ContactLordArnold…. to Variety Hour Listings… Click to the live Chat and send your questions. *Playing an 80’s tune*

After the break…

Arnold: *On the Air* And we’re back with more of the Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special… as we get the life story of our beloved Rising Star Macie Melody Lightfoot. During the break we’ve received several questions from you listeners… to Macie. *To Macie* The first one reads: Macie, What are your aspirations in life?

Macie: *On the Air* Aspirations? I don’t know. I guess that i would one day hope to get into acting. I always did want to act. but just never embraced it as i was for the longest of time too scared and nervous to step forward and get to doing it. But now that i’ve given it some thought… it’d be rather interesting.

Arnold: *On the Air* Another listener wrote and asked a question. It’s from a Emily Gilmore. Wow! An Elder Gilmore… Hmm… She asks: Macie, When you first got into singing, what was the first thing that came to your mind? What was it that inspired you to get out there and let your voice be heard by the people?

Macie: *On the Air* That’s a bit challenging for me to answer. I can’t really say what the first thing was that came to my mind. I guess if i had to say something on that… i think that the first thing that came to my mind was just to sing naturally and let it come from my heart. I usually keep to myself when i sing. At least… that’s how i used to be. But now… it’s different. It’s changed. Now… i sing like it was always meant to be… me up there in the limelight. What inspired me to get out and let my voice be heard by the people? That’s nothing to think about as the thing that did it… was the fact that there was nothing but dark in the world. There was no light. No love. And as a fallen artist would say… What’s the point in life if there is no love among the world? Without love… Life isn’t worth living and it got to the point where someone had to say something. Do something. Plus i listened to some songs done by the artist MJ. He was about love. He spoke it and embraced it. But got crucified by people. If there is only one core message that i can provide… it’s this: Love as much as you can. Let love fill your heart with the blessings of romance. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you love. If you love something…fight for it. and Stand firm.

Arnold: *On the Air* The third Question is from someone over at Metropolis Ranch… Doralee Rhodes… She asks: Macie, What music drives you most when singing about love?

Macie: *On the Air* I think that it’d be rock and Roll… Pop, and disco. Plus K-Pop. I really feel those genre’s of music playing through me as i singing about love. I kinda seek for Country. But nothing’s really coming to mind.

Arnold: *On the Air* One more question before we go on with more of the 2 hour special… This one is from Macie T. She writes and asks: Squirt… When it comes to picking favorite rock bands… which ones happen to stand out more for you?

Macie: *On the Air* I would have to say that when it comes to favorite rock bands… Journey. Or Reo Speedwagon. Journey… Because of Steve Perry. I mean call it crazy… but i think that he’s rather hot and Mmm! Very sexy. He’s the kinda guy that any girl would want to get with. Anyone with their radars set high on rock bands and looking for anyone who’s fresh meat. Most of my first Album consists of songs that were originally done by Journey. So… I think that that one’s a no contest. I put my style of the songs in there… and their songs… it talks about love and a person’s journey on the road. The struggles and tribulations.

Arnold: *On the Air* That’s admirable. Every artist has to have that certain niche. Something that moves them. Without that inspiration… the artist is just going around and flailing aimlessly into the great unknown. No clue as to where they’re leading to or how they intend to get there. *A second pause* Now back to the Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special edition. More on the life of Macie Melody Lightfoot. Our own beloved Rising Star… *To Macie* So, Macie… up to now… We heard about the beginnings and what your life was like. from the very beginning till now. About how you first came to Metropolis for the first time… and how you met Joanna. Now we are interested in hearing about what your first Album is about… then what your plans for the second Album will be. What we can expect. So… your first Album… What is the core message that you want to send by the first album?

Macie: *On the Air* It’s kinda expressive as the first Album was just to point out my beginnings. Where i began in life and what my struggles were. Because in my life… My struggles were hard and a challenge. For the longest time, i had to live life feeling like i was rather lowly. Unwanted… undesired. My longing for that embrace of love. A journey that my heart wanted to tell the world all about what trials it was put through. The second Album’s gonna be about the Power of Love. The Embrace of Romance. With a few of the songs being my style of Dido. Because i believe that with the emotions that i feel. The sensations that Love is… Having that life message within each one… It’s about telling people to hail to the power of Love. Letting it run and fulfill them. I believe in love. It’s innocent… or Erotic… Exotic. or pure. Sanctified or old school. Love is… eternal.

Arnold: *On the Air* Wow… That’s a powerful message. Macie, you’re only 15 and yet with so much love that it burns like the fires of a thousand stars and Thousand suns. Each one burning brighter than the last. I think that we can truly expect phenomenal things from you. Lovely things. The love is endless when your around. I think that your presence alone shines and lights up the atmosphere. The rooms. The airwaves are spreading your love. I think that anyone listening out there… would agree.

Macie: *On the Air* Awww! Thank you, Lord Arnold. You’re really sweet. I can’t help but blush…

My concert announcer:

Michael Bluffington: *On the stage* Ladies and Gentlemen… It is time for the Queens, New York concert as part of the Rising Star’s “Doorway to Love” National Coast to coast tour.

"Nope. You can't ever be too careful. Not in this day and age." James said, tossing one of his pokeballs into the air, letting out houndour. 

"I sense somebody, or someone, coming this way." Houndour, who was called out to get started on a campfire, said after sniffing the air. 

Just as Houndour spoke, Poochyena returned after confirming that the money made it to its destination. The Poochyena nodded to James and Jessica, telling them that the money was given to the cashier.@Smarty Jones

It was only then that within a minute... there was a purple Aura just feet away in sight of them. Behind it was... A Mewtwo? A MEWTWO?! WHAT THE F---?!?!?!

The Pokemon was friendly... but on guard. A few steps behind it was a teenage girl. This girl was standing at a height of 6'1" It was no... wait... it was a young girl. An 8 year-10 year old girl who came from a place that she once would call home... It was...

???: *To Mewtwo* Mewtwo, Is it safe up ahead?

Mewtwo: *Nods* It's calm, Abigail. There's no threat in sight. It's just a couple of trainers and their fellow pokemon companions.

Abigail: *Stepping into View* Okay... *Looking at the teen girl and teenage boy close by* Wh-wh-who are you guys? Are you two... lost?

Jessie: Nope. We're on a journey. A Pokemon Journey... However i'm also on a quest and seeking to avenge my landlord. I'm Jessie. Jessie Levinson. The guy close by me is James. James Jones. He's from Vermont and is like a traveling dude. He's cool. What about you? What brings you out here?

It was getting pretty twisty... But something was telling Jessie that from what she was seeing... there was a bit of a backstory or a tale behind where the girl was coming from and how she just so managed to come across to where she and James were currently...

Jeremy: Hmm... Okay. So before getting to those spots... we as we near those points... Divert from those spots and go around them. Alternative routes. Going down a side route but not veer off too far from the route that will take us on a fast path to Cleveland.

Lisa: Sounds fair.

Jeremy: *Suddenly Curious* Whatever happened to the guy Vladimir? Did he somehow go back to his farm to do right by his family... or is he still gutless?

Lisa: Jeremy, Don't go there. Not unless you want another blowout. That subject is a dead one. Drop it. He is gone. Team Magma did away with him. He's been snuffed out and executed by them. So... He's dead. 

Jeremy: Ouch. Sorry. I... i didn't know. Oh boy. Talk about merciless. That's harsh.

Nicole: No Duh! What do you think it was? An invite to the jamboree? *Grins*

Curtis: My Riolu is sensing something coming from our north. 5 miles enclosing.

Gothorita: *Sensing something coming* It's also from the south. 

Jeremy: Okay... Everyone. High alert. Prep for a fight. This could be an ambush.

Pidgetta: No worries. My pokemon Stoutland is itching to knock some heads down. Let those two bastard teams come. Pidgetta is ready to fight.

Sandy: *Shivers* Whoa... She's icy. Spewing fire of fury. She's just busting for a fight.

Jeremy: She sure is.

Pidgetta: *To Donald* I appreciate that. Jeremy has already vowed in deep dedication to nail Team Magma and Team Aqua. However... Now knowing that i can also count on you... it is a very big huge humongous help. Thank you. And i am sure that once we find Macie and get her back. Safe too... We'll get to the whole bottom of how she could have had you and not know it and why if she did know... keep it all a big secret and hidden all these years. There are big questions needing an answer and huge holes in the puzzle behind that we need to fill... So... stay tuned. We will get to attaining all those answers. We'll see this attaining the answers it deserves. If you are clearly family... We'll get all the answers behind it and find out all the missing parts. Given that you're truly possibly a member of the family... We'll make all damn sure that you are protected. No matter what the cost. They screw with one of us... They Screw with ALL of us.

Was there more to know... or were they to make off with enacting a high defense to make ready for a likely ambush? What were they to do?@MacieLightfoot

Jeremy however started to think back to what was going on during the Concert... Trying to think of what he could have overlooked.

"That was when Jeremy got Sandy to come over and then the two of them revved up the beat for "Stop Crying your heart out"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZUsNJ-LQU

Jeremy: *Singing; W/Sandy as supporting backup vocal* "Hold up

Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)

The Crowd paused and were in shock. However it didn't take them very much to suddenly erupt with satisfaction. Jeremy then bowed out and had it set up for another good #.

Sandy: *Speaking to the crowd* Here's another wonderous # from the heart of passion and the one who's got no desire to hold back the feelings of attraction and Romance... Here's Passion Kiss.

Jeremy then came walking out into view and Anistar joining with her guitar and within seconds... Anistar kicked it off with a beginning note to jam...

Seconds later...

The crowd started stomping their feet and got into it as Jeremy seconds later... got to singing...

Jeremy: *Singing* "I've followed my heart into the fire
Got burned, got broken down by desire
I've tried, I've tried but the smoke in my eyes
Left me blurry, blurry and blind
I've picked all the pieces up off the ground
I've burned all my fingers, but that's gone now
Got the glue in my hands and stickin' to the plan
Stickin' to the plan that says

I can do anything at all
I can do anything at all

This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
Gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream

I was a girl caught under your thumb
But my stars gonna shine brighter than your sun
And I will reach so high, shoot so far
Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target

Make it count this time
I will make it count this time

This is my kiss goodbye

The crowd applauded with excitement and whistled in glee... They were begging for more...

Jeremy got to doing another #..."

Jeremy: Wait... *To Sandy* there was something we missed.

Sandy: What? What was it?

Jeremy: The Audience... Didn't some of the members of the audience look like they had an emblem of some kind on them. Foretelling of their affiliation with either Magma or Aqua?

Sandy: not sure... 

Sandy then thought back to that same moment...

Sandy: *Looking at the audience in his mind as he thinks back to the concert* Oh my... Oh god. They were watching us the whole time. They knew our every move.

Jeremy: They even knew about...

Sandy: The Reconnaissance rescue effort of ours revolving the retrieval of Lisa and Nicole. They were anticipating the maneuver from the jump.

Anistar: You don't mean...

Sandy: I'm afraid that i might mean it... and i really don't want to consider it. but... Team Aqua was expecting for it to happen.

A trap was unknowingly sprung? This doesn't sound good. There may be a bout of trouble in the works...

"I understand where you're c-c-c-c-coming from," Porygon-Z related, "Evolution for my forms require the equipment of packaged programs developed by humans. As for where to avoid, map d-d-d-d-data suggests a likelihood of ambushes at or around Mississippi River crossings into Illinois from I-55 to the McKinley Bridge. I have found two possible detour c-c-c-c-crossings: I-270 near MotoMart or I-255 near Walmart."

"It's such a shame that blood isn't always thicker than water," Donald commented with nary a dry eye after hearing his biological family's history. "But I will do everything in my power to ensure the safe rescue of your cousin…Auntie Pidgetta," he finished with a doubling down on his intent to rescue his biological mother; emphasizing his respect for Macie's cousin.@James Davy

"I am a f-f-f-f-fully-evolved Porygon-Z, not the basic form," Porygon-Z corrected Gurdurr before addressing Pidgetta, "To c-c-c-c-cut a long story short, Donald was Jeremy's fraternal twin brother conceived in-vitro and given up for adoption for reasons unknown. He found out through p-p-p-p-pulling his records from the California adoption database with my help and corroborating the data with his birth record that he was a biological son of Macie Lightfoot. In summary, you now have one more first c-c-c-c-cousin once removed than you thought you did and Donald is the family's computer expert."
"If you have issues with your computer, smartphone or social media profiles, I can fix them for you," said Donald, clarifying his Porygon-Z's summation, "Oh, and forgive my Porygon-Z's stuttering—it's a programming bug from the Dubious Disc used for their evolution."@James Davy

Pidgetta then paused and stared at Donald for a moment before...

Pidgetta: Holy shit... So... So that... that means that you're also my nephew. I'm an aunt to you too. Macie's my cousin and for a very long time was like a second mother to me as she embodied all that my mother was before she got sick and just gave up the ghost.

Lisa: It's true. She told us all about it once. It was rather heartbreaking and a real tear jerker. 

Nicole: She can fill you in on it all as we head over to Caseyville for the first checkpoint.

Curtis: Programming will at times have some kinks. it's a trial and error. But a quick fix will be appreciated.

Gurdurr: Sorry about the Porygon Crack... I only know of one form of Porygon. I never had come across an Evolved form of a Porygon. Not before recent... like now. So... um... Any idea as to where the points of concern are to avoid coming across a encounter with any enemies?

Pidgetta then got to the point of her past... making certain for Donald to be up to speed...

Pidgetta flashed back...

"Holly: *Walking over to the Teenage girl* Hey there.

Girl: *Puffing* Hey. What’s up? something wrong?
Holly: No. Just going around taking pictures and stuff. I’m a photo Junkie. Love taking pictures.

Girl: Good for you. Picture taking is pretty cool. Anything of interest?

Holly: Not really. Just random things. But i tend to also capture photos of things that potentially help some reporters from time to time that work for the Daily Planet. I make 30 bucks a photo… Actually for a group of pics. Because i sell the pics i take to them. Ones that they need when the time comes and it’s a picture that they’re in need of. Just good honest business. Gotta have that in this day and age.

Girl: That’s an understatement. However i don’t think my Cousin would be too understanding. She’d be thinking it was extortion. She’s a sweet girl… but very cautions. All about doing the right thing. And fighting for what is right.

Holly: Really? *Curious* She sounds like a real awesome person. Who’s your cousin?

Girl: Well… here’s the thing. *Sighs while smoking* She over the last week had been called “The Rising Star.” Not sure what that’s about. Maybe she’s famous… Can’t tell. I have never seen her face to face as… I’m a Lightfoot by family bloodline. On her father’s side. My father Henry daniel Holmes… is Bobby Lightfoot’s brother. I’m the sole daughter of Henry Holmes. My mother… Maya teresa holmes is maiden named… Maya Teresa Laurelson. But until the other year… i never knew of my family roots. My father would never tell me as a few years ago… or 6 months before i was born… My father and Macie’s father had some type of stupid fight. Bullshit fight about something. Money most likely… but it was bad enough to where my father thought that Macie would be just like her father. So… i was to stay away. But just about 5 months ago… My father passed. He suffered a heart attack that took him down hard and swift. My mom’s since then went into a psych ward because of the loss. It was too great for her. So the last testament she did for me was emancipated me from her and told me: “Pidgetta, Your cousin, Macie is out there. Find her and be with her. She’s your cousin. I don’t care what issues your father had with her father and or her… She’s your cousin. She’s your blood. I know that i won’t be around much as this grief is killing me and i’ll die inside the Psych ward. I know it. But no matter what comes…. Know that i love you… and Tell Macie that her aunt Maya loves her. Despite of the bull fight that was between her father and Uncle. I love her just as well.” So… i got gathered my things and went on the road. With all i owned. And yes… My pack of smokes. Yeah. I smoke. But it’s only one every so often… like one a week to mellow out. Because of the nerves. However… i’m looking into getting myself into drinking Herbal tea or chamomile. better regimen…

Holly: So… Your cousin… Your cousin is Macie?

Girl: You got it. And in case you didn’t gather my name. It’s indeed… Pidgetta. Pidgetta Gerald Holmes (Lightfoot)

Holly: Wow. How long were you on the road looking for her?

Pidgetta: Longer than what i intended. But i never gave up. I just recently learned that she was in this city and then when i heard that Radio Broadcast earlier on in the day… I knew… i knew that i was finally in the right place. The Right city. To find her.

Holly: Wow… So… you’re like all alone here. and are searching for her?

Pidgetta: I know she’s around. I have to find her. She’s the only family i got left. Besides her parents who may have a shit fest if they saw me. But if Uncle Bobby has any care about his brother… he’ll at least acknowledge me.

Holly: Pidgetta… I uh… i don’t think you caught the news of Macie yet. She’s… She’s not with them anymore. Since last year… Very early December of last year.

Pidgetta: Come again… She’s not with them?

Holly: No. She’s Emancipated from them. But has kept the last name and won’t rid herself of it. But… her father now… is a Cleaner… Hitman named Frank Holden.

Pidgetta: I see… I’ll have to search him out. Where is he?

Holly: Metropolis Getaway arms…

Pidgetta: I’ll be sure to head over there. Thanks.

Holly: Anytime. I have to get going. Pictures to take and people to see. But for what its worth… I hope that you find the one you’re looking for and you two reunite again…

Pidgetta: Thanks. *Winks*”

Pidgetta: *Voice-Over* There's more... For you see... it was the moment that i reunited with Macie that things really came to the surface...

"

Pidgetta: *Calling over to the girl that she was related to* Cousin?!

Macie: *Looking to the side and seeing the teenage girl; Recognizing her from the picture she saw online* Pidgetta?!

Pidgetta: Yeah.

https://youtu.be/tJbHcukmiq0

Pidgetta: *Running over to Macie* Cousin…

Macie: Pidgetta, Oh my god!

Pidgetta: *in contact with her cousin and hugging her* Hey girl… It’s so great to meet you again. Reunite again.

Macie: I don’t get it… How did you get here? How did you know i was here?

Pidgetta: It’s called bloodlines, cousin. I would always find a way somehow. Plus that you’re the one who’s been texting me secretly. As i was also texting too. We kept in touch that way. Emailed too. And this moment ended the last few weeks of perpetual hell. I felt like crap for a long time as i was on the hunt for you. Searching for you. Knowing that you were to be my only family left.

Macie: What about your mom and dad? My Uncle Henry.

Pidgetta: He’s dead. He died 5 months ago. My mom’s in the psych ward. I’m emancipated and since then… i’ve dealt with the last 4 months in total hell. What hurts is that your dad… My Uncle Bobby didn’t even attend the funeral. to pay respects. I know for shit that they had their issues and they were going around being little brats in a hissy fit contest. See who can hold a grudge the longest. The fact is that he didn’t and he’s gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life. You never came either. But Macie… I don’t blame you. You couldn’t have known the truth behind what happened as your father Bobby was clearly too damn stupid and oblivious to tell you. You sure could have asked. Although he’d never say. So… i blame him. Your mom’s cool though. She was the only one that kept things neutral. Or tried to. But i won’t forgive your father… Biological one of course. I spent the last few weeks of the 4 months of hell making my way over to find you. I stopped at the place in Sheltered Shrubs and was told by some blonde girl… Courtney… that you were here in Metropolis. So… i came here. It took me forever to get here… But i’m here for you, Cousin. My father and your father fought and tried to keep us apart due to some fight. But it’s time that we reunited. We’re family. No matter what. The past is past and it’s time that we were reunited. *Smiles* You know. I happen to consider you pretty close to me. Strange, isn’t it?

Macie: It sure is strange. What i’d truly like to know is that… how did you find out about me since our parents happened to have some 
sort of fight all these years ago? They kept you and me a secret all our lives, Pidgetta. I was born after you were… a year after you. I was 5 years old when i first asked about having relatives. My parents… Your Aunt and Uncle… wouldn’t tell me. They would not even speak of you. because if were to know of you… it’d bring back in the brother to my father who’s your Uncle. And because of said fight… they didn’t want to chance it.

Pidgetta: Parents can be such dicks at times. And i should know. My dad and I didn’t have that much a good relationship. It was rather strained and we never would agree on hardly anything. But it was life. It sucks. But it’s life.

Macie: I know. I got a new dad. He’s a cleaner. Hitman. But he happens to love me.

Pidgetta: I know. I was told that by some girl… Someone who is just photo crazed.

Macie: *Realizing who it was that her cousin was referring to* I think that i know.

Pidgetta: It’s okay though. It’s fine. I actually liked being told things like that. Knowing that someone related to me was getting… a better life.

Macie: Better than some… I’d guess.

Pidgetta: True. But sometimes… in life, things happen that aren’t always what you’d expect. But you come to learn that sometimes you take what you can get."

Pidgetta: *Voice-over* Later that day...

"https://youtu.be/H1W2UddURXI

Macie: *Smiles* It’s great to see you again and have you here, Pidgetta. I Emancipated from my biological parents. It was the saddest thing i had to do. But… I had started to make a life here in Metropolis by time i went back to my old hometown. It was mainly to say goodbye to everyone there. But then when Chloe, Tess, Genevieve stepped in via video-chat… to tell of how they’d help emancipate me from Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. It was like i was being put with a choice that i knew… had to be made and made right then. The D.A in this city had a good plausible angle to see it being done legally. It was the belief of Plausible Child neglect. It was solved and from it… i broke from them and Frank Holden… became my father. It was something that made a sad moment… a happy one again. It changed me.

Pidgetta: It sure did. You’re not the usual meek and overly cautious girl that you usually came off being. You’re… Hell… Frickin’ hot. 15 and hot. That’s like turn a Lowlife scumbag that’d be out there in the nation capitol into a golden knight of virtue. We know that will never happen as that guy’s got more venom and corruption and subterfuge in him that could easily make 10 of him easily. But you… You went from oh. It’s just her… to “WHAT THE F—! SHE’S A TOTAL BABE!” Call it over glamorizing if you like. But in this day and age… No one goes from meek and shy to Courageous and Openly expressive in just… like a short period. However you did it… I… oh hell… I’m deeply moved. Proud… stunned and shocked… but moved just the same.

Macie: Thank you."

Pidgetta: That's what it was like. I once told Macie's Ex-Husband... this piece... back before she and the guy even got their wedding "I Do's". 

She stated it as such...

"I am attached to my cousin Macie. More than normal. Why that is… It’s because she’s the closest thing that reminds me of my mother. Loving. Caring. Peace and devoted. Wise. Losing Macie for any reason would kill me. I lost my mother the other month and around the end of last year… I lost my father to a heart attack. I don’t have parents of my own. I have nobody. Macie’s the closest thing to a mothering aura that i have. In a cousin. She’s innocent. Sincere. Wise and very intelligent in her unique way. So… Next time you happen to court with her… Remember that. Macie is deeply important to me. I can’t lose her. So you have to understand… that when you and her are together… Anything that happens to her… worries me. Because losing her would truly kill me. I can’t handle it."

Pidgetta: All of that is still true to this day. Because for some reason... she embodies all that my mother had possessed. Everything. So... it was like i'd lose her again.

Lisa: It's a real tear-jerker. It can come to turn your insides into goop.

Corphish: Corphish... *Saddened*

How would Donald react to all that? Would things become clearer now as they made their way closely to Caseyville?

In Jeremy Kelly "Passion Kiss" Lightfoot's Pokemon Adventure is nigh. (Group RP) → 3 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

"Understood, Sergeant," Donald acknowledged before departing back to his rehearsal area.

"T-minus 13 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark!" Porygon-Z counted down.
"The sergeant managed to call in some reinforcements to provide help with the grunt battalion," Donald informed his Pokémon, "All we need to do now is lay low and monitor their communications while Cyber-Klefki counts down to Cyber-Yveltal's launch. I hope they don't try any funny business with their server otherwise that time will halve."
"There is a high probability of that happening," Beldum stated.
"In the meantime, keep scanning for rogue elements both within and without," Donald ordered.
"Understood," Espeon acknowledged. Donald fired up his phone and monitored communications between their base and battalion.@James Davy

That was when Jeremy got Sandy to come over and then the two of them revved up the beat for "Stop Crying your heart out"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZUsNJ-LQU

Jeremy: *Singing; W/Sandy as supporting backup vocal* "Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)

Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out"

The Crowd paused and were in shock. However it didn't take them very much to suddenly erupt with satisfaction. Jeremy then bowed out and had it set up for another good #.

Sandy: *Speaking to the crowd* Here's another wonderous # from the heart of passion and the one who's got no desire to hold back the feelings of attraction and Romance... Here's Passion Kiss.

Jeremy then came walking out into view and Anistar joining with her guitar and within seconds... Anistar kicked it off with a beginning note to jam...

Seconds later...

The crowd started stomping their feet and got into it as Jeremy seconds later... got to singing...

Jeremy: *Singing* "I've followed my heart into the fire
Got burned, got broken down by desire
I've tried, I've tried but the smoke in my eyes
Left me blurry, blurry and blind
I've picked all the pieces up off the ground
I've burned all my fingers, but that's gone now
Got the glue in my hands and stickin' to the plan
Stickin' to the plan that says

I can do anything at all
I can do anything at all

This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
Gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho

I was a girl caught under your thumb
But my stars gonna shine brighter than your sun
And I will reach so high, shoot so far
Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target

Make it count this time
I will make it count this time

This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keepin' me down
I'm gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now

This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free

You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)

You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free
You set it all free"

The crowd applauded with excitement and whistled in glee... They were begging for more...

Jeremy got to doing another #...

<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"Illegal operation d-d-d-d-detected in Cyber-Klefki," Porygon-Z updated, "T-minus three m-m-m-m-minutes and 45 seconds, mark."
"Shouldn't have done that, Team Aqua," Donald commented, listening to the concert.

<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
At that point, time ran out and Cyber-Yveltal uploaded disk images of all of Team Aqua's network to a remote server and zeroed out every bit of data across their server and terminals. "Operations c-c-c-c-complete," Porygon-Z stated.
"That'll take you offline for a while, Team Aqua," Donald commented, "Have fun rebuilding."

<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"We detour via various back roads?" Donald suggested, after listening in on their travel discussion, "The direct routes will likely have more battalions hiding out than on the back roads. We can find them if we scout ahead with any bird of prey Pokémon we have."@James Davy

Jeremy thought about it for a moment and suddenly came up with a conclusion. Something that would benefit the entire team...

Jeremy: I agree with Sgt. Lerner on the directions of where to start the rest of the Journey to Cleveland. But from there... i think that Donald's got a good point and a very good suggestion. Taking the back roads throughout the route leading to Cleveland. We can have our birds of prey or flying pokemon scanning ahead to see if there are any dangers that we ought to know about.

Nicole: It'd be better that way. I got a Druddigon that can use dragon rage if need to and snuff out any Team Aqua members. That goes for Team Magma too.

Pidgetta: *Looking to Officially see Donald* Uh... Okay, What gives with the crew cut dish? Is he traveling with us too?

Jeremy: Of course... and he is also... related.

Pidgetta: Related?! To who? The heartthrob trio? The Rockafellers? *catching Sandy shaking his head no* What's going on?

Saphiroth: Aunt Pidgetta... There is something you're gonna need to know.

Simisear: *Coming towards Pidgetta* Don't be doubting the idea of Donald being with us. He's a member of the family.

Gurdurr: *Looking to Porygon* Hey Porygon... Think you can give the techno garb a rest a moment and fill the lady in about Donald?

Pansage: *Giggling*...

Something foretold that Pidgetta... Macie's Cousin and the Aunt to Jeremy, Lisa, Nicole and Saphiroth... was about to be in for a heck of a surprise. This was gonna be rather sweet. OR... Was it?

The crowd was jeering in glee... they wanted more and were all for the singing. Jeremy had then got to doing another one...

Jeremy: *singing* "Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (you know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
Don't cry (don't cry)"

However... Jeremy knew that in a moment he'd have to wrap it up...

This was where he thanked all the people in the audience for coming to enjoy the show and did one last # to wrap the Concert up...

Jeremy: *Singing* I'm all out of hope.
One more bad break
Could bring a fall.

When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone.

It's easy to deceive.
It's easy to tease,
But hard to get release.

Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.

Jeremy: *Singing* I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive.

Now it makes me sad,
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you.

Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace,
Your eyes without a face.

Jeremy: *Singing* When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas. Oh, the gigolo pool.

Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine,
Drinkin' it down, oh.

I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip,
Reading murder books, tryna stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you. You're out there so

Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes,
And I wonder why
I don't despise.

Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new,

But it's gone from your eyes.
I'd better realise.

Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste,
Your eyes without a face.

And now it's getting worse."

It took a moment for after the concert ended to get Jeremy and Sandy back into the game...

Jeremy: The concert was a total success. The people were just eating it all up.

Anistar: They sure were.

Lisa: *Checking the maps* Where do we go from here, Jeremy?

Nicole: Yeah... There's no plausible route that will guarantee us a straight shot to Cleveland...

Jeremy then got onto his phone and dug up some directions for a clear shot to Cleveland...

Sgt. Lerner: From there... take a route leading right for Cleveland. Either way... we're gonna wind up having to tussle with Team Aqua or Team Magma again somewhere along the way. There are likely battalions of them all over the place.

Anistar: He's got a point. We're gonna be creamed by them either way. So... How do we go about this? Any suggestions?

The time for making a traveling battle plan was now... With the concert being finally over... it was now back to the nitty gritty of the Pokemon Journeys...

"It would be wise to report these activities to the sergeant," Donald's Beldum suggested.
"I agree," Donald affirmed, "Though something has been troubling me about this whole thing."
"About why Team Aqua would send a battalion of grunts to a concert?" Espeon posed.
"Vengeful retaliation for their prisoners giving them the slip can't possibly be the only reason," Donald stated.
"There exists a probability of it being the case," Beldum countered.
"Could they have acquired the Blue Orb and are on the hunt for Kyogre?" Espeon asked.
"If that were the case it would be illogical to go after the Lightfoot family outside of retaliation or monetary gain," Donald answered, knowing that Team Magma would be spurred into fast activity if his Blue Orb hunch was right.
"Append our discussion to previous suggestion and request the sergeant's opinion and suggestion on further activities," Beldum suggested.
"Understood," Donald acknowledged.
"T-minus 17 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark," Porygon-Z counted.
"Prepare to execute Code: Cocked Pistol if the Team Aqua battalion breaches our defenses," Donald commanded.
"P-p-p-p-preparing to execute Code: Cocked Pistol," Porygon-Z acknowledged.

"Sergeant Lerner, I've just blocked access to all terminals connected to Team Aqua's network server with a full data wipe set to happen in just over sixteen minutes," Donald reported, "What's your take on this situation?"@James Davy

Sgt. Lerner: I'd stand down for the time being and wait to see what comes. One of the rules of combat. If the Enemy is in range... So are you. Intelligence is always wrong. you could have all the data and intel on the situation and on the enemy you need to know about and still be in the dark on the enemy that is approaching. The intel can always change at the very last second. But when it comes to dealing with an enemy like Team Aqua or Magma... You have to expect the unexpected. They will always try to sneak in an attack. *Thinking* But you know what? I have contacts with some of the men i fought with and battled alongside with. I'll give them a ring and give them the heads up on the matter.

A Moment later...

Sgt. Lerner: The men are on alert now. A couple of them happen to be not too far from the direct line of sight that team Aqua is coming from. So... if they happen to spot any rogue grunt from Team Aqua... They'll make quick work of them.

The anticipation was growing...

Donald's Espeon was scanning around for any Team Aqua or Magma members in the general venue. His Beldum was floating around and providing a boost in Espeon's scanning range.@James Davy

It wasn't but a moment when something sounded off...

Gothorita: *Teleporting back and onto the stage* Jeremy, Sandy... We got incoming... 10 miles up due East. Team Aqua's forces. A battalion consisting of 20 grunts from Team Aqua. They're coming... here.

Jeremy: How long do we have before they arrive?

Gothorita: ETA: 40 Minutes... but they're advancing this way.

Onix: Alice, We should make ready... and fast.

Alice: Onix, Go out to where the Battalion is and use a little sandstorm. Blind them. Then shake them up with a little Earthquake. It'll help buy some time for things to wrap up here so we can be able to do away with them.

Onix: *Nods*

Sandy's Fearow flew off and soared fast into the air and right up high into the sky... Flying fast and quick. She made it over to where Team Aqua's battalion was said to be and unleashed a Whirlwind and then a Sky Attack. Following with a Aerial Ace and Steel Wing. Anything to bring their advancement down to a crawl...

Mandibuzz went off to attack the battalion with Toxic and then Brave Bird. Aiming it right at the battalion and centered the full force of the attack. She didn't waste any time as she also let off a Bone Rush as well...

But while the front was being taken and a defense line was being performed to keep Team Aqua's Battalion at a stand-still...

The Concert pressed on and made the line to see it's way to a very peaceful and enjoyable conclusion... which was only a moment or so away...

"In that case, we present to you: yours truly, The Digi-Enforcer, with his jamming cover of Humility!" Donald introduced, setting his keytar to a pop synth mode and letting loose with the song's intro of staccatos.

"Thank you very much, St. Louis!" Donald said to the crowd before taking a bow.@James Davy

Jeremy looked at the crowd and then at Donald. He couldn't hold back from the Praise. He was very pleased by the performance from his brother.

Jeremy: Ladies and gentlemen... Give it up one more time and make it loud... for the "Digi-Enforcer" Donald Darren Lightfoot!

Crowd: *Cheering and applauding with a jubilant standing ovation* "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!" "DIGI- ENFORCER!"

It was a moment later when the concert picked on up again...

Jeremy: *Singing* "I can't hear a single word
Just know you're talking, 'cause your lips keep moving
Everything I thought I learned
Goes out the window, all I want is one thing
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Ticking-tocking like a bomb
Throws me back to when I had you closer
Skin to skin, we get it on
Without the love, I feel you going bolder
You can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care
'Cause for now you're just enough for me, I want you near
Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck
You remember what I love, so baby, take me back
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
Take it all off, want every inch of you
Traveling back in time
Tangled uptight, just like we used to
Now do that thing I like
Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark
'Cause when you're touching me, baby, I see sparks
You make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go
You
You, you make my heart go"

Jeremy: *Singing* I'm all out of hope.
One more bad break
Could bring a fall.

When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone.

It's easy to deceive.
It's easy to tease,
But hard to get release.

Sandy: *With Anistar and Darlene; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.

Jeremy: *Singing* I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive.

Now it makes me sad,
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you.

Sandy: *With Anistar and Darlene; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace,
Your eyes without a face.

Jeremy: *Singing* When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas. Oh, the gigolo pool.

Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine,
Drinkin' it down, oh.

I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip,
Reading murder books, tryna stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you. You're out there so

Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes,
And I wonder why
I don't despise.

Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new,

But it's gone from your eyes.
I'd better realise.

Sandy: *With Anistar and Darlene; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste,
Your eyes without a face.

And now it's getting worse."

The concert was really lively and throughout the entire thing... there was no sign or sighting of any trouble... Or was there about to be?

"Thank you very much, St. Louis!" Donald replied, feeling a rush from the applause he, Sandy and Jeremy got from their performance.@James Davy

Jeremy had then did a surprise and spoke to the crowd asking them to give a round of applause to Donald and grant a performance from him as he performs a skill of his Keytar.

Jeremy: Donald is with a mad skill playing on his Keytar... Listen to his talent as he plays on his Keytar and Jams to the tune of Humility. Who wants to hear his mad skill?

Crowd: *Cheering*

Jeremy: Come on... You can do better than that... Who wants to hear his Mad Skill?!

Crowd: *Cheering even more and with anticipation*

Sandy: *Looking at Jeremy* They're really eating it up...

Anistar: Wow! The crowd is just loving it.

What were the gonna do? Would they actually give the crowd that performance? What was Donald gonna do?

[color=Magenta]The Background is just as you may see. Macie's a Singer and a Celebrity. She is said to be identical to the appearance of the S.Korean superstar Eunha. but in all honesty... she's just a casual person living the dream. When there are others who're not trying to constantly place her upon the pedestal and lean it to where she endures the same destined fate as the Fallen King... The one who spread love and peace before her time.[/color] Interview about me: [hider][img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/the-new-macie-m-lightfoot-261.gif?w=833[/img] Macie: *On Air* This is really a first for me. Arnold: *On Air* Welcome to the Show, Macie. It’s a fabulous surprise and a treasure to have the beloved rising star here on the show. Even if you weren’t a celeb… we’d practically love you anyway as you’re… well… let’s face it straight. You are kind, Gentle. You don’t cause a fuss. You’re very soft spoken and very sincere with who you are and how you want to be seen. Macie: I guess that is a swell way to describe me. But i am more outgoing and it’s been that way since… oh… gosh, since i was encountered by a very strange man. I really don’t know who he is… where he came from. But whoever he is… he gave me a new life and a massive new existence. I am not the lowly girl that i once was… once upon a time. Arnold: Lowly? Why… would you think of yourself as that? Macie: It’s because of how people back in my old hometown saw me. They know who they are too… But i don’t blame them. I blame myself as something that a good friend once said to me. Actually i think it was the brother to my best friend Joanna Barlow.. Her brother said: “If you don’t have faith in yourself… how do you expect for anyone else to have any for you? No one out there… outside of the entire gang… provided on how big the size of the gang is… have any faith in someone who has no faith within themselves. It’d be considered a waste to them. But… having faith in yourself… It makes others notice and want to come to you. Because they see that you are out doing what you love… and aren’t afraid to do it. That you have faith in yourself and believe you can do it.” Arnold: Kinda blunt and a bit of a sting. But there is a point in that. If you don’t believe in yourself… No one else is bound to either. *to the listeners* This is all about the Rising star. Her beginning… current and future. Macie Melody Lightfoot… was born in Stratford, Connecticut on April 22nd 2031 at Stratford Medical hospital. at 1:35 PM. She was brought into this world and was foretold to be filled with Love. She was brought into this world by a couple of Ph.D’s Named Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. They were blessed with the greatest gift of all. A remarkable daughter that if they were to guide her… as well as they said to have done. Macie would have had a happy childhood. For her story… it wasn’t as happy as one would assume it to be. Behind the New aged Celeb… there is a tale of sadness… loneliness and abandonment. Even… Neglect. This is her story. How her beginning came to where it is now… *To Macie* Alot of the listeners are all behind you. they all adore you. Cherish you and see you as something special. Which you are indeed quite that. But what was it like in the very beginning of your life. Where you grew up? Macie: *On Air* I don’t really wish to speak of that… But it’s best if i were to get it out. My Childhood was pretty lonesone as i had no friends. None. I was rather a very health-conscious girl. Nasally and would be in need of decongestants. The doctors when i was about 4… Diagnosed me with a condition where i had a particular heart ailment. Turner’s Syndrome. But i never knew what it was… The doctors never said and my parents were afraid to say to me that i had it. They played the denial card and it worked. However… every now and then i’d feel a type of tickle in my heart. Not bad… but just where it felt… like someone petting the side of a cat. Gentle and softly. but it felt like someone trying to tickle your heart. Sending goosebumps all over the inside. My Childhood was lonesome till i met my first friend in the first grade. A girl who when got older… became a gossip queen. Wanting to be… Popular and would do what it took to be it. She would try too hard and still fail. Her biological name is Deirdre Hortense Bishop. But i knew her as Dodie. She came to be like a really good friend. Self centered at times and very into wanting to be part of the “In” Crowd. But she never needed to. She had me. I should have been enough. But then when second grade came… She and I Met this Orange haired frizzy girl named Ginger Foutley. She and Dodie both became friends… Best friends. BFF’s And that was where we started things to birth the ritual of B.F.T sanctity. Things that we 3 would do as tradition. Which of course was in jeopardy when it came to the 7th grade. The Talent Show. We were to do the Talent Show skit of the Little Seal girl. I was faithful to the end with it. Ginger and Dodie were too… till Courtney Gripling. The popular and rich girl plus Miranda Killgallen… the mean sassy girl. Insecure with herself to the point where she felt that she needed to make people miserable around her. Sad. Because whether she believes it or not… I seemed to admire her. Anyways… They were stating how embarrassing it would be to be us doing the skit only to be laughed at. They told me that maybe we could do something else. And i told them… “Shame on two. The Little Seal Girl act has been like a part of our lives since the second grade.” But they were set to maybe do something else… I couldn’t take it. I grabbed the ball and told them off and stormed off… As i did… I decreed the line: “Seal Girl Lives on!” Arnold: *On Air* What did that do to the friendship you guys had? Macie: *On Air* It tarnished it a bit. But they somehow still supported me in the end. They worked as curtain pullers where if i were to “Bomb” the show… They’d pull the curtains and hide me. But i didn’t. I actually was all in with it. I was a little scared at first till suddenly a burst of Courage… that was buried deep down inside me… came out and erupted. I sang out long… strong… and with emotional sincerity. After the song was done… i awaited for the winner to be called. Turned out… It was me. I won. I was seen as so lame that i was actually good. I ranked higher than Courtney’s Skit that was about her… called: “Courtney’s World”. I however felt bad afterwards because i felt that i broke the sacred tradition… of B.F.T. Best Friend Tradition. I was actually sweating inside the seal girl suit. It was like… hot inside it and i was looking to get out of it. When i did… It was a relief. Arnold: *On Air* Wow… So that was your first ever time on a stage? Singing? Macie: *On Air* Yeah. I think that deep down… i felt that i was meant to sing and dance. Become a star. But i was back then… this type of girl who was just so… so lacking in self confidence that… i just didn’t go for it. I was one who saw that as long as i was quiet and more in the shadows… i wouldn’t be antagonized or taunted. Ridiculed. Which… in that town… Most people didn’t really think much about me. Plus… with my parents being hardly home… I couldn’t really speak about anything. I had to bottle up everything that i felt and just lock it away. Couldn’t tell my parents. They were hardly home long enough so that i could. Arnold: *On Air* That must have been lonely for you. A sad life and with parents who are supposed to be there for you. To listen to what’s bothering you and try to have a parent to child chat… Just to let you get out what ever it is that is bugging you. But are never there. That was neglect. Wasn’t it? Macie: *On Air* I wouldn’t want to consider it… Neglect exactly… It’s just that they get so wrapped up with their work that they lot of times don’t slow down to realize that: “Oh sweet mother of mercy… we almost forgot to check up on our daughter Macie. Make sure she’s alright.” They as my love… Ridge would say as when i went back to my now old and past hometown and showed him my room As well as showed my bestfriend Joanna Barlow and Cherry Ipkiss. Plus as well as Frank who’s my adoptive father and one i happen to love very much. Ridge came out and said: “They come and go… and they don’t even try to come check on you. Make sure you’re okay? I mean… granted that they’re assured that you’re okay and everything… They should still check on you every once in a while. It’s kinda what people call good parenting.” He was right. I mean it did kinda hurt when he said it… but he was right. He was right. Now i am sure that my parents… Biological parents are listening. I hope that they know that i don’t hate them. I could never hate them. Never. Even after knowing about what they did and didn’t do. I still love them and always will. I left them… but i kept the Lightfoot name. I am proud to be one and nothing on this planet. Nothing in the world could ever deem to take that away. Arnold: *On Air* However for the Emancipation to have been legal and without any snags… given since the Emancipation laws were different in each state. It had different ways of being handled. Delicately. When you were about to be emancipated… from your parents… Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot… What was that like? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/the-new-macie-m-lightfoot-261.gif?w=833 [/img] Macie: *On Air* I uh… hmm… Well… IT was kinda dramatic and emotional in a way. It was rather hard as it just came… like… really quick. I was hearing all that was being said… but inside i was hearing myself bawling in tears. I am not sure… if it was tears of happiness or sadness. But it was something which rattled me. I remember being told… “Macie… This is it. Once they sign off and Emancipate you… giving you over to Frank… You’ll become his daughter. But before this happens. The Judge and I want to know… Is this… decision from what you just now heard…. Is this what you want? Are you sure that you’re up for this?” I knew that it was something which would be life altering. But before all that… All that happened… Arnold: *On Air* There’s more to your life that you seek to tell… Something that you believe people should hear… Right? Macie: *On Air* Yeah. Arnold: *On Air* Of course. This is hard on you to be reliving the past a little… but you are one that falls into the concept… “you can’t know where you are going until you know where you have been” I think Maya Angelou said it the best. So… from that point in time… from you Singing on Stage at the talent show. What did it lead to? Macie: *On Air* It led to things like well… A summer at this place. A place called Camp Caprice. Yeah. I don’t even know on recalling memories of that place. But i wasn’t the only one that went… Dodie and Ginger also went. Not to leave out that Courtney also went. She was originally gonna go on a cruise and with Miranda. Yeah… Those two were… inseparable… Like Siamese cats. Never. But Miranda kinda told her that she’d never be one to get dirty and be one with the outdoors and camp outside and the sort. She took offense to that and decided to come to camp with us. Leaving Miranda without a fun Summer. I kinda wanted to laugh. I truly did… but i didn’t. Because that’d be rather mean and i wasn’t like that. It did hurt her. Alot. Arnold: *On Air* What was it like at that Camp? Macie: *On Air* It was rather enjoyable. Even though it was a bit like playing like a little kid and clearly… at that time i was like… what? 12. Yeah… 12 and i was doing camp stuff with other girls as it was a camp mostly for girls. Ginger and Dodie were also having a swell time. There was a lot of peace there. Activities. Things to do. Plus of course Dodie was made as asst. Camp counselor. A complete busy body… Having to be one to have control. I think to this day that she wants to be something she might never be. But she should just be happy being her. Not try on consorting to being what others would expect her to be. She wants to be popular because she may see herself as a loser. Like i felt that i was being seen as. Which is sad. But she’s not a loser. A Little self absorbed at times. A little conniving. Stuck up with her own desires and all… but she’s not a loser. She’s driven in her own way. Just that… the way she goes about it… is a little offensive. She’s not a bad person. Just rather clingy and a bit afraid of there being so much change as i think it’s because in her mind… the young years… are the best and said to believe on being full of innocence. That the thing that scares her most is that by facing change… it would strip her of the innocence and she doesn’t want to lose that. I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t want to lose it either. However… as much as it hurts… As much as it might sting… We all gotta grow up sometime. Arnold: *On Air* You’re so right. So right about that. *To the Listeners* This is the Lord Arnold Variety hour 2 hour special with the full story on our Rising Star. The one and Only Macie Melody Lightfoot. As sworn testimony from her own lips and eyes to our hearts and ears. We’re gonna take a short break… but when we come back… More on the story of our Rising Star and behind the artist who’s captured our hearts. Don’t go away folks. More is on the way… During the 5 minute break… [img]https://i1.wp.com/caps.pictures/201/4-the-interview/full/interview-movie-screencaps.com-6748.jpg?zoom=0.5&strip=all [/img] Arnold: *Laughing* Oh god. Macie, You really had the listeners going there… With that one part. You mean that you had a gossip loving friend back over in that town that was so into wanting to be popular that she’d actually… debase herself into doing things that would get her accepted? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-127.gif?w=700&h=519 [/img] Macie: Yeah… *Cheering* Yeah. I actually couldn’t stop from letting it out. I was just telling it as i remembered it. I mean… I emancipated myself from that previous life. But i still in some way… recall bits and pieces of all that’s happened once upon a time. Arnold: It’s good though. Because with this… the viewers or listeners are getting an in depth look at the artist that has sang and danced straight into the hearts of many. Macie: Some of the things that i seem to speak of… I feel rather weird about. It’s as if i feel a huge hole inside me that i know that left for a reason… But maybe i left it all… before i was completely ready to. Arnold: You couldn’t be thinking that. I mean… Look how far you’ve come. You’ve come a very long way from how you once were. You’re well known by all. Everyone is crazy in love with you. You have like… love coming from every direction of you. If you didn’t leave that life… none of this would have come to pass. granted that it was hard. That’s not a doubt in anyone’s mind. None at all. But you got a whole family of people who literally just love you. Love you like none other. Macie: Plus a loving boyfriend. Who the other week proposed to me. He asked me to marry him. It’s actually rather sweet of him. It’s a long engagement though. So… there won’t be… a wedding for at least a couple of years. Like maybe when i am 17. possibly 18. Serena and Carly black are married. They’re over 18… Blossom and Leslie are wed. at 16. Spencer and Rikku mentioned that they got married at 14. It’s sweet and so endearingly romantic. But i am all for waiting a couple years. Make the official tying of the knot worth it more. Besides… i don’t think that the schools we go to would take well to it. Not that i’d worry about what they think. It’s just better that way. For him and I. And everyone. Arnold: Sounds like a plan. Gotta make decisions that would suit not only one… but all. Once the break was over… Arnold: *On Air* We’re back with more of the Lord Arnold’s Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. Getting a true look behind the beloved Rising star. The complete story being told true by the Rising Star herself. Macie Melody Lightfoot. We’re here to hear more of her story… *To Macie* Macie, You said something about what the girl was like… What did you mean? Macie: *On Air* Nothing really. What i believe was that Dodie was that sort of person who didn’t want to face all that much change. However… in her heart… she knew that she had to. Like when Ginger was accepted into the Avalanche Arts academy… Dodie was hysterical. in a fit of tears… She went into a fit and right in front of Darren Patterson. The neighbor to Ginger. “I don’t want to hold Ginger back. Honestly, i don’t. But this is like my worst nightmare totally coming true. She’s… She’s like my best friend.” And seconds later… there she went. Crying. Just would cry. She would bawl into tears. And i thought that i cried that much. She’s worse than i am and that’s sad as i am or used to be the most sensitive as of course i happen to wear my heart upon my sleeves as i have all this love in me. But the crying. Sweet mother of seriously… Is Dodie that deprived of human contact that she she needs to cling? Not that it’s a bad thing. But that’s be like if Joanna was to go out and do something and god forbid if i didn’t go with her on every single outing. It’s kinda like a piece from the episode before last of season five of Smallville when Lois gives Clark a sort of heart to heart… when was feeling like hell for snooping into Lana’s things like a jealous ex-boyfriend… Lois said to him: “Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole night-stalker routine that is gonna ruin any of the good feelings Lana has for you.” The only difference is… that Dodie was clingy. Too clingy. I kinda was too… but i at least gave some space. I had control. It hurt to know that Ginger was leaving for the academy. But i also understood. I understood and knew that Ginger deserved it. It was something for her. But then i told her… “We’re all best friends. But Ginger won’t be gone forever, Dodie.” Darren chimed in…“It’s only for one semester.” Then that was when she went at it… Again. Stating: “Just One Semester. Just one semester!? Do you have any idea how much can happen in just one Semester?!?! My bangs could totally be grown out by then… Just to put it into perspective!” She was really dramatic. But later… we came to find out that the scholarship was a total sham. It was all due to a ploy to get rid of Ginger. And two people were behind it. Miranda Killgallen and Mipsy Mipson. God i can’t stand Mipsy. She was the worst. She was the one that saw me as a total loser most of all. Miranda didn’t. Not really. Just that she didn’t see all that much into me. No offense. it was just… her. Mipsy had a cousin named Thea Mipson who helped orchestrate the whole thing. But it was later… when Ginger came back… Dodie and I inadvertently became part of a prank. Operation G-D. *Remembering the past memory* I felt so bad about it. [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-39.png [/img]I cried. I cried over the mean act. It was so horrible. I hated the taste of it. I never forgave myself for it. [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-41.png [/img] [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-40.png?w=500&h=596[/img] Never. *Breaking into tears and Crying over the memory* Arnold: *On Air* Wow! That has to really strike a chord. The hurt you feel over being regrettably part of an attempt to hurt another. Whoever this mipsy is… She is no kind soul. But the pain you feel is sincere. We feel for you. We really do. Macie was heard over the radio crying and it lasted about a couple minutes as she was feeling the shame. It didn’t take long for her to get herself back together. Macie: *Sniffles and wiping her tears away* Sorry. I got a rush of past memories that i should have left in the past as it’s been done and over with. I left all that behind. But the memories never will fade. Arnold: *On Air* Some memories seldom do. Macie: *On Air* There was more… Like when we all graduated from middle school. It was like saying goodbye. Goodbye to the past and into the future. I was full of worry. But then it was to be expected. There was a lot to consider. Too much. I was also flirted on by this band geek named Andrew. I broke up with him via public message at a game and during a Band Drill performance. But that was before… life for me changed… Before i met my new best friend Joanna Barlow. Arnold: *On Air* Okay… How did you meet her for the first time? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-78.gif?w=833 [/img] Macie: *On Air* I… oh gosh… It’s like a memory that i endured only a short time ago. Last year. I was on my way from some band competition that clearly was from like Utah. It’s kinda silly to think about it. Because it was like my life changed so much since that time. The Bus that the other students and I were on…had made a pit stop at this pancake house in Wichita. However i only turned my back for about a moment. Because i was using the restroom to see on getting a stain out from the Uniform that we were wearing. Yeah… It was a band uniform. I was in it. Miranda was in the bus too… however she never noticed me not being on the bus after the bus left and went off towards the Old hometown. Neither did the driver. I was stranded. So i walked my way back and walked off. going east. East on towards the next city. It was gonna be miles and miles away before i’d reach it. But i made way towards it. However, as i made way over… i came across a wreck. An accident that was odd. I didn’t know who it was and what happened. But i went to go see and that was when i saw this odd girl. She wasn’t really that odd… but i sure had never seen anyone like her before. I didn’t think that i’d meet anyone out in the middle of possible nowhere. As it was… i didn’t have any money. So i couldn’t call a cab. I would need at least… 1000 dollars for that. Or a bus ticket. I didn’t even have that either. I didn’t know the # to home… so i couldn’t even call home from where i was. So… i was up the creek without a paddle. I Met Joanna while i was stranded there and she was the one who clearly looked like she got sent flying into a wooden pole and just left for dead. However she was lying there and within a few steps from a busted up Motorcycle. She was one who knew how to ride. Now… for someone like me… one who was the shy and meek. or what i used to be… That was pretty startling. but deep down… i thought it was rather exciting. To meet someone who knew how to ride. I felt concerned for her. Seeing her there alone. No one was gonna come to check on her. from the way it seemed. So… i did the right thing by going over to her and asking if she was okay… Macie flashes back as tells the first time she met Joanna… “Joanna: *Waking up and seeing the Preteen girl* You’re confused… i’d think. because i happen to be a girl. *slowly getting up* Oh man… What the heck happened? I feel like i was hit by a train. or at least a semi. [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/joanna-barlow-103.jpg?w=833&h=354 [/img] *Standing* I don’t seem to know who you are… but i will state that i’m thankful that someone came to my aide here. You don’t even know me. But yet… you still came to my aide. We never met. But you’re here now. Standing before me. Why? Where did you come from anyway? Girl: I’m on my way back with the school band back to Topeka. (Was she trying to cover up that she was really from Connecticutt) Or was. I missed the bus. and i don’t have a way back. *Nasally* The band had a competition up in Utah. And we were on our way back… when we happened to stop for some food since we were getting hungry. But i didn’t get to the bus in time and they happened to leave without me. Joanna: Where did you guys stop for food? Girl: At a Pancake house. Joanna: Where at? Girl: Wichita. Joanna: I don’t know who you are… or what your name is. But, i can’t just leave you here stranded without a way back. I’m pretty sure that your parents’re gonna be pissed or if nothing more worried sick if you don’t return back to where your place of residence is. So, why not come along with me. We’ll get through this bull together. Girl: Okay. *Sneezing* Sorry. Clogged nose. Joanna: It’s okay. You probably just caught some dust particles and it went up your nose. Probably an allergen or something. You’ll be okay. Come on. We gotta find ourselves a means of transportation. I gotta get back to Metropolis where some remnant form of my life can be found or for a chance to maybe create a new one… if by chance. I would suppose that you’ll need a better life as well. Least till you get back with your folks. Girl: If that might be likely. But i wouldn’t count on it as they live in connecticut. I’m several states away from where they are. Joanna: I’ll tell you what. Till that day comes where you can be reunited with your parents or by chance that they happen to come to Metropolis and likely move to there and live in Metropolis… You’ll be my right hand wheel. You just stick by me. I’ll protect you. I might be a girl… but don’t think that i can’t produce some kind of fight if i gotta. *Curious* What are you supposed to be anyway? A Band Geek? Just curious. Girl: I guess so. I am in the local school band, you know. I am one of the band members in the school band. Joanna: Don’t tell me. Sheltered Shrubs, right? Girl: Yeah. Although it’s Lucky High School. But how did you know? Joanna: Lucky guess, i’d suppose. *grins* Girl: Wow! Good guess. [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/joanna-barlow-662.jpg?w=833&h=545 [/img] Joanna: *Driving the Motor Scooter* What’s your name? I can’t keep calling you Preteen girl. Unless you happen to sort of like that. Girl: *Nasally* Macie. Macie Lightfoot. Joanna: Hmm… That’s a unique name if i’ve ever heard one in my life. That’s a nice name. Well… It’s nice to meet you, Macie. I’m Joanna. Joanna M. Barlow. M for Matilda. [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/macie-lightfoot-14.jpg [/img] Macie: Joanna… That’s a good name. Joanna: Thanks, Macie. Good knowing that you think so. I like the name too…but sometimes i wonder if it would be possible to have my name changed. Well… at least my first name. Of course… It’s not bad. I had this name since i was born and it was the name i was given. But… What about you? *Curious* Do you even like your name even if it is a rather nice one for all intents and purposes? Macie: I don’t know. *Nasally* I don’t think that i’ve really thought about it like that before. I kinda wonder about the name. First and last name… but no middle. My parents never told me what it was and it was never put on any of the legal forms nor was it ever discussed. Joanna: Perhaps we can come up with one. Everyone’s entitled to having a middle name. I’m thinking of something that fits what you are like. The core. Something that highlights you. *Thinking* How about Melody. Macie Melody Lightfoot. It rather is fitting. Macie: I like the sound of that. *Giggles* Melody. Joanna: It suits you. You should bring this up with your folks though and see what it is that they think about it. It would be a nice change in things. A nice change in name. Not much of a change… Just that there now would be a middle name lodged into it. Macie: Right. *Nods*” Macie: *On Air* Joanna gave me that middle name. Melody. But she never would gather that i was always with that as a middle name. Just that my parents never called me that. So… i never put it in. But my full name was in fact… Macie Melody Lightfoot. All my life. Joanna and I hit it off pretty fast and we became close. She from then on… Protected me. Guarded me. I returned the gesture and helped her quit a habit. Made her better. She did me a service and befriended me… She didn’t have to. But she did. What did it was that we were both loners. She was emancipated with issues. Ones that she gave me the tale of… Told me all about it. I never told and i never will. I made her a promise… and if there is nothing else people remember about me. They can always know this… When i make a promise… I keep that promise. I settle with none less. Arnold: *On Air* Well… we’re all gonna remember you, Macie. A person would have to be blind and totally obliterate to not remember you. From that moment you met… things went on and there lead to you coming to this city. Keeping a rather low profile. Right? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-26.gif?w=833 [/img] Macie: *On Air* At first… Yeah. Then when i started on the first day of Metropolis High… I was rather nervous. I didn’t know anyone. Nobody. However… after the first day… that afternoon… I met a wonderful Goth girl. Macie Terrace. Fondly known as Macie T. She calls me Squirt. But it’s out from terms of admiration and acceptance. She liked me. I also made a friend like Zoey Rhapsody. She was pretty nice. I liked her. Aqua Rainbow White. Ridge Mercer… who actually since day one flirted with me. He and I soon after became boyfriend and girlfriend. We didn’t even know each other long enough and already… He and I are… tied. He and I are… long engaged. But i happened to make a lot of friends and i love them all… Arnold: *On Air* That was very sincere. Macie, you have a golden heart. It’s just there for us all to see. *To the Listeners* This is The Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. And you’ve been listening to the Full story of Macie’s beginnings and life. From her eyes and lips. For all to hear. We’re gonna take a short break… and when we come back… We’ll hear about Macie’s first album and what her plans are for the second Album. What we can perhaps expect for the second Album. Then hear about her concert and what to expect for the concert. Then hear about her plans for the future. Where the future will take her from the concert. Don’t forget that the phone lines are open for callers.

During the break we’ve received several questions from you listeners… to Macie. *To Macie* The first one reads: Macie, What are your aspirations in life? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-77.gif?w=833 [/img] Macie: *On the Air* Aspirations? I don’t know. I guess that i would one day hope to get into acting. I always did want to act. but just never embraced it as i was for the longest of time too scared and nervous to step forward and get to doing it. But now that i’ve given it some thought… it’d be rather interesting. Arnold: *On the Air* Another listener wrote and asked a question. It’s from a Emily Gilmore. Wow! An Elder Gilmore… Hmm… She asks: Macie, When you first got into singing, what was the first thing that came to your mind? What was it that inspired you to get out there and let your voice be heard by the people? Macie: *On the Air* That’s a bit challenging for me to answer. I can’t really say what the first thing was that came to my mind. I guess if i had to say something on that… i think that the first thing that came to my mind was just to sing naturally and let it come from my heart. I usually keep to myself when i sing. At least… that’s how i used to be. But now… it’s different. It’s changed. Now… i sing like it was always meant to be… me up there in the limelight. What inspired me to get out and let my voice be heard by the people? That’s nothing to think about as the thing that did it… was the fact that there was nothing but dark in the world. There was no light. No love. And as a fallen artist would say… What’s the point in life if there is no love among the world? Without love… Life isn’t worth living and it got to the point where someone had to say something. Do something. Plus i listened to some songs done by the artist MJ. He was about love. He spoke it and embraced it. But got crucified by people. If there is only one core message that i can provide… it’s this: Love as much as you can. Let love fill your heart with the blessings of romance. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you love. If you love something…fight for it. and Stand firm. Arnold: *On the Air* The third Question is from someone over at Metropolis Ranch… Doralee Rhodes… She asks: Macie, What music drives you most when singing about love? Macie: *On the Air* I think that it’d be rock and Roll… Pop, and disco. Plus K-Pop. I really feel those genre’s of music playing through me as i singing about love. I kinda seek for Country. But nothing’s really coming to mind. Arnold: *On the Air* One more question before we go on with more of the 2 hour special… This one is from Macie T. She writes and asks: Squirt… When it comes to picking favorite rock bands… which ones happen to stand out more for you? Macie: *On the Air* I would have to say that when it comes to favorite rock bands… Journey. Or Reo Speedwagon. Journey… Because of Steve Perry. I mean call it crazy… but i think that he’s rather hot and Mmm! Very sexy. He’s the kinda guy that any girl would want to get with. Anyone with their radars set high on rock bands and looking for anyone who’s fresh meat. Most of my first Album consists of songs that were originally done by Journey. So… I think that that one’s a no contest. I put my style of the songs in there… and their songs… it talks about love and a person’s journey on the road. The struggles and tribulations. Arnold: *On the Air* That’s admirable. Every artist has to have that certain niche. Something that moves them. Without that inspiration… the artist is just going around and flailing aimlessly into the great unknown. No clue as to where they’re leading to or how they intend to get there. *A second pause* Now back to the Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special edition. More on the life of Macie Melody Lightfoot. Our own beloved Rising Star… *To Macie* So, Macie… up to now… We heard about the beginnings and what your life was like. from the very beginning till now. About how you first came to Metropolis for the first time… and how you met Joanna. Now we are interested in hearing about what your first Album is about… then what your plans for the second Album will be. What we can expect. So… your first Album… What is the core message that you want to send by the first album? Macie: *On the Air* It’s kinda expressive as the first Album was just to point out my beginnings. Where i began in life and what my struggles were. Because in my life… My struggles were hard and a challenge. For the longest time, i had to live life feeling like i was rather lowly. Unwanted… undesired. My longing for that embrace of love. A journey that my heart wanted to tell the world all about what trials it was put through. The second Album’s gonna be about the Power of Love. The Embrace of Romance. With a few of the songs being my style of Dido. Because i believe that with the emotions that i feel. The sensations that Love is… Having that life message within each one… It’s about telling people to hail to the power of Love. Letting it run and fulfill them. I believe in love. It’s innocent… or Erotic… Exotic. or pure. Sanctified or old school. Love is… eternal. Arnold: *On the Air* Wow… That’s a powerful message. Macie, you’re only 15 and yet with so much love that it burns like the fires of a thousand stars and Thousand suns. Each one burning brighter than the last. I think that we can truly expect phenomenal things from you. Lovely things. The love is endless when your around. I think that your presence alone shines and lights up the atmosphere. The rooms. The airwaves are spreading your love. I think that anyone listening out there… would agree. Macie: *On the Air* Awww! Thank you, Lord Arnold. You’re really sweet. I can’t help but blush… [/hider] My concert announcer: [hider] [img]https://vz.cnwimg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Michael-Buffer.jpg[/img] Michael Bluffington: *On the stage* Ladies and Gentlemen… It is time for the Queens, New York concert as part of the Rising Star’s “Doorway to Love” National Coast to coast tour.

She stands at a sensational 5 ft. 5 in and at a weight of 210 Lbs. From Metropolis, Kansas.

<div style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Background is just as you may see. Macie's a Singer and a Celebrity. She is said to be identical to the appearance of the S.Korean superstar Eunha. but in all honesty... she's just a casual person living the dream. When there are others who're not trying to constantly place her upon the pedestal and lean it to where she endures the same destined fate as the Fallen King... The one who spread love and peace before her time. Interview about me: <div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="Hider">Hider [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/the-new-macie-m-lightfoot-261.gif?w=833" /> Macie: *On Air* This is really a first for me. Arnold: *On Air* Welcome to the Show, Macie. It’s a fabulous surprise and a treasure to have the beloved rising star here on the show. Even if you weren’t a celeb… we’d practically love you anyway as you’re… well… let’s face it straight. You are kind, Gentle. You don’t cause a fuss. You’re very soft spoken and very sincere with who you are and how you want to be seen. Macie: I guess that is a swell way to describe me. But i am more outgoing and it’s been that way since… oh… gosh, since i was encountered by a very strange man. I really don’t know who he is… where he came from. But whoever he is… he gave me a new life and a massive new existence. I am not the lowly girl that i once was… once upon a time. Arnold: Lowly? Why… would you think of yourself as that? Macie: It’s because of how people back in my old hometown saw me. They know who they are too… But i don’t blame them. I blame myself as something that a good friend once said to me. Actually i think it was the brother to my best friend Joanna Barlow.. Her brother said: “If you don’t have faith in yourself… how do you expect for anyone else to have any for you? No one out there… outside of the entire gang… provided on how big the size of the gang is… have any faith in someone who has no faith within themselves. It’d be considered a waste to them. But… having faith in yourself… It makes others notice and want to come to you. Because they see that you are out doing what you love… and aren’t afraid to do it. That you have faith in yourself and believe you can do it.” Arnold: Kinda blunt and a bit of a sting. But there is a point in that. If you don’t believe in yourself… No one else is bound to either. *to the listeners* This is all about the Rising star. Her beginning… current and future. Macie Melody Lightfoot… was born in Stratford, Connecticut on April 22nd 2031 at Stratford Medical hospital. at 1:35 PM. She was brought into this world and was foretold to be filled with Love. She was brought into this world by a couple of Ph.D’s Named Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. They were blessed with the greatest gift of all. A remarkable daughter that if they were to guide her… as well as they said to have done. Macie would have had a happy childhood. For her story… it wasn’t as happy as one would assume it to be. Behind the New aged Celeb… there is a tale of sadness… loneliness and abandonment. Even… Neglect. This is her story. How her beginning came to where it is now… *To Macie* Alot of the listeners are all behind you. they all adore you. Cherish you and see you as something special. Which you are indeed quite that. But what was it like in the very beginning of your life. Where you grew up? Macie: *On Air* I don’t really wish to speak of that… But it’s best if i were to get it out. My Childhood was pretty lonesone as i had no friends. None. I was rather a very health-conscious girl. Nasally and would be in need of decongestants. The doctors when i was about 4… Diagnosed me with a condition where i had a particular heart ailment. Turner’s Syndrome. But i never knew what it was… The doctors never said and my parents were afraid to say to me that i had it. They played the denial card and it worked. However… every now and then i’d feel a type of tickle in my heart. Not bad… but just where it felt… like someone petting the side of a cat. Gentle and softly. but it felt like someone trying to tickle your heart. Sending goosebumps all over the inside. My Childhood was lonesome till i met my first friend in the first grade. A girl who when got older… became a gossip queen. Wanting to be… Popular and would do what it took to be it. She would try too hard and still fail. Her biological name is Deirdre Hortense Bishop. But i knew her as Dodie. She came to be like a really good friend. Self centered at times and very into wanting to be part of the “In” Crowd. But she never needed to. She had me. I should have been enough. But then when second grade came… She and I Met this Orange haired frizzy girl named Ginger Foutley. She and Dodie both became friends… Best friends. BFF’s And that was where we started things to birth the ritual of B.F.T sanctity. Things that we 3 would do as tradition. Which of course was in jeopardy when it came to the 7th grade. The Talent Show. We were to do the Talent Show skit of the Little Seal girl. I was faithful to the end with it. Ginger and Dodie were too… till Courtney Gripling. The popular and rich girl plus Miranda Killgallen… the mean sassy girl. Insecure with herself to the point where she felt that she needed to make people miserable around her. Sad. Because whether she believes it or not… I seemed to admire her. Anyways… They were stating how embarrassing it would be to be us doing the skit only to be laughed at. They told me that maybe we could do something else. And i told them… “Shame on two. The Little Seal Girl act has been like a part of our lives since the second grade.” But they were set to maybe do something else… I couldn’t take it. I grabbed the ball and told them off and stormed off… As i did… I decreed the line: “Seal Girl Lives on!” Arnold: *On Air* What did that do to the friendship you guys had? Macie: *On Air* It tarnished it a bit. But they somehow still supported me in the end. They worked as curtain pullers where if i were to “Bomb” the show… They’d pull the curtains and hide me. But i didn’t. I actually was all in with it. I was a little scared at first till suddenly a burst of Courage… that was buried deep down inside me… came out and erupted. I sang out long… strong… and with emotional sincerity. After the song was done… i awaited for the winner to be called. Turned out… It was me. I won. I was seen as so lame that i was actually good. I ranked higher than Courtney’s Skit that was about her… called: “Courtney’s World”. I however felt bad afterwards because i felt that i broke the sacred tradition… of B.F.T. Best Friend Tradition. I was actually sweating inside the seal girl suit. It was like… hot inside it and i was looking to get out of it. When i did… It was a relief. Arnold: *On Air* Wow… So that was your first ever time on a stage? Singing? Macie: *On Air* Yeah. I think that deep down… i felt that i was meant to sing and dance. Become a star. But i was back then… this type of girl who was just so… so lacking in self confidence that… i just didn’t go for it. I was one who saw that as long as i was quiet and more in the shadows… i wouldn’t be antagonized or taunted. Ridiculed. Which… in that town… Most people didn’t really think much about me. Plus… with my parents being hardly home… I couldn’t really speak about anything. I had to bottle up everything that i felt and just lock it away. Couldn’t tell my parents. They were hardly home long enough so that i could. Arnold: *On Air* That must have been lonely for you. A sad life and with parents who are supposed to be there for you. To listen to what’s bothering you and try to have a parent to child chat… Just to let you get out what ever it is that is bugging you. But are never there. That was neglect. Wasn’t it? Macie: *On Air* I wouldn’t want to consider it… Neglect exactly… It’s just that they get so wrapped up with their work that they lot of times don’t slow down to realize that: “Oh sweet mother of mercy… we almost forgot to check up on our daughter Macie. Make sure she’s alright.” They as my love… Ridge would say as when i went back to my now old and past hometown and showed him my room As well as showed my bestfriend Joanna Barlow and Cherry Ipkiss. Plus as well as Frank who’s my adoptive father and one i happen to love very much. Ridge came out and said: “They come and go… and they don’t even try to come check on you. Make sure you’re okay? I mean… granted that they’re assured that you’re okay and everything… They should still check on you every once in a while. It’s kinda what people call good parenting.” He was right. I mean it did kinda hurt when he said it… but he was right. He was right. Now i am sure that my parents… Biological parents are listening. I hope that they know that i don’t hate them. I could never hate them. Never. Even after knowing about what they did and didn’t do. I still love them and always will. I left them… but i kept the Lightfoot name. I am proud to be one and nothing on this planet. Nothing in the world could ever deem to take that away. Arnold: *On Air* However for the Emancipation to have been legal and without any snags… given since the Emancipation laws were different in each state. It had different ways of being handled. Delicately. When you were about to be emancipated… from your parents… Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot… What was that like? <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/the-new-macie-m-lightfoot-261.gif?w=833" /> Macie: *On Air* I uh… hmm… Well… IT was kinda dramatic and emotional in a way. It was rather hard as it just came… like… really quick. I was hearing all that was being said… but inside i was hearing myself bawling in tears. I am not sure… if it was tears of happiness or sadness. But it was something which rattled me. I remember being told… “Macie… This is it. Once they sign off and Emancipate you… giving you over to Frank… You’ll become his daughter. But before this happens. The Judge and I want to know… Is this… decision from what you just now heard…. Is this what you want? Are you sure that you’re up for this?” I knew that it was something which would be life altering. But before all that… All that happened… Arnold: *On Air* There’s more to your life that you seek to tell… Something that you believe people should hear… Right? Macie: *On Air* Yeah. Arnold: *On Air* Of course. This is hard on you to be reliving the past a little… but you are one that falls into the concept… “you can’t know where you are going until you know where you have been” I think Maya Angelou said it the best. So… from that point in time… from you Singing on Stage at the talent show. What did it lead to? Macie: *On Air* It led to things like well… A summer at this place. A place called Camp Caprice. Yeah. I don’t even know on recalling memories of that place. But i wasn’t the only one that went… Dodie and Ginger also went. Not to leave out that Courtney also went. She was originally gonna go on a cruise and with Miranda. Yeah… Those two were… inseparable… Like Siamese cats. Never. But Miranda kinda told her that she’d never be one to get dirty and be one with the outdoors and camp outside and the sort. She took offense to that and decided to come to camp with us. Leaving Miranda without a fun Summer. I kinda wanted to laugh. I truly did… but i didn’t. Because that’d be rather mean and i wasn’t like that. It did hurt her. Alot. Arnold: *On Air* What was it like at that Camp? Macie: *On Air* It was rather enjoyable. Even though it was a bit like playing like a little kid and clearly… at that time i was like… what? 12. Yeah… 12 and i was doing camp stuff with other girls as it was a camp mostly for girls. Ginger and Dodie were also having a swell time. There was a lot of peace there. Activities. Things to do. Plus of course Dodie was made as asst. Camp counselor. A complete busy body… Having to be one to have control. I think to this day that she wants to be something she might never be. But she should just be happy being her. Not try on consorting to being what others would expect her to be. She wants to be popular because she may see herself as a loser. Like i felt that i was being seen as. Which is sad. But she’s not a loser. A Little self absorbed at times. A little conniving. Stuck up with her own desires and all… but she’s not a loser. She’s driven in her own way. Just that… the way she goes about it… is a little offensive. She’s not a bad person. Just rather clingy and a bit afraid of there being so much change as i think it’s because in her mind… the young years… are the best and said to believe on being full of innocence. That the thing that scares her most is that by facing change… it would strip her of the innocence and she doesn’t want to lose that. I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t want to lose it either. However… as much as it hurts… As much as it might sting… We all gotta grow up sometime. Arnold: *On Air* You’re so right. So right about that. *To the Listeners* This is the Lord Arnold Variety hour 2 hour special with the full story on our Rising Star. The one and Only Macie Melody Lightfoot. As sworn testimony from her own lips and eyes to our hearts and ears. We’re gonna take a short break… but when we come back… More on the story of our Rising Star and behind the artist who’s captured our hearts. Don’t go away folks. More is on the way… During the 5 minute break… <img src="https://i1.wp.com/caps.pictures/201/4-the-interview/full/interview-movie-screencaps.com-6748.jpg?zoom=0.5&strip=all" /> Arnold: *Laughing* Oh god. Macie, You really had the listeners going there… With that one part. You mean that you had a gossip loving friend back over in that town that was so into wanting to be popular that she’d actually… debase herself into doing things that would get her accepted? <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-127.gif?w=700&h=519" /> Macie: Yeah… *Cheering* Yeah. I actually couldn’t stop from letting it out. I was just telling it as i remembered it. I mean… I emancipated myself from that previous life. But i still in some way… recall bits and pieces of all that’s happened once upon a time. Arnold: It’s good though. Because with this… the viewers or listeners are getting an in depth look at the artist that has sang and danced straight into the hearts of many. Macie: Some of the things that i seem to speak of… I feel rather weird about. It’s as if i feel a huge hole inside me that i know that left for a reason… But maybe i left it all… before i was completely ready to. Arnold: You couldn’t be thinking that. I mean… Look how far you’ve come. You’ve come a very long way from how you once were. You’re well known by all. Everyone is crazy in love with you. You have like… love coming from every direction of you. If you didn’t leave that life… none of this would have come to pass. granted that it was hard. That’s not a doubt in anyone’s mind. None at all. But you got a whole family of people who literally just love you. Love you like none other. Macie: Plus a loving boyfriend. Who the other week proposed to me. He asked me to marry him. It’s actually rather sweet of him. It’s a long engagement though. So… there won’t be… a wedding for at least a couple of years. Like maybe when i am 17. possibly 18. Serena and Carly black are married. They’re over 18… Blossom and Leslie are wed. at 16. Spencer and Rikku mentioned that they got married at 14. It’s sweet and so endearingly romantic. But i am all for waiting a couple years. Make the official tying of the knot worth it more. Besides… i don’t think that the schools we go to would take well to it. Not that i’d worry about what they think. It’s just better that way. For him and I. And everyone. Arnold: Sounds like a plan. Gotta make decisions that would suit not only one… but all. Once the break was over… Arnold: *On Air* We’re back with more of the Lord Arnold’s Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. Getting a true look behind the beloved Rising star. The complete story being told true by the Rising Star herself. Macie Melody Lightfoot. We’re here to hear more of her story… *To Macie* Macie, You said something about what the girl was like… What did you mean? Macie: *On Air* Nothing really. What i believe was that Dodie was that sort of person who didn’t want to face all that much change. However… in her heart… she knew that she had to. Like when Ginger was accepted into the Avalanche Arts academy… Dodie was hysterical. in a fit of tears… She went into a fit and right in front of Darren Patterson. The neighbor to Ginger. “I don’t want to hold Ginger back. Honestly, i don’t. But this is like my worst nightmare totally coming true. She’s… She’s like my best friend.” And seconds later… there she went. Crying. Just would cry. She would bawl into tears. And i thought that i cried that much. She’s worse than i am and that’s sad as i am or used to be the most sensitive as of course i happen to wear my heart upon my sleeves as i have all this love in me. But the crying. Sweet mother of seriously… Is Dodie that deprived of human contact that she she needs to cling? Not that it’s a bad thing. But that’s be like if Joanna was to go out and do something and god forbid if i didn’t go with her on every single outing. It’s kinda like a piece from the episode before last of season five of Smallville when Lois gives Clark a sort of heart to heart… when was feeling like hell for snooping into Lana’s things like a jealous ex-boyfriend… Lois said to him: “Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole night-stalker routine that is gonna ruin any of the good feelings Lana has for you.” The only difference is… that Dodie was clingy. Too clingy. I kinda was too… but i at least gave some space. I had control. It hurt to know that Ginger was leaving for the academy. But i also understood. I understood and knew that Ginger deserved it. It was something for her. But then i told her… “We’re all best friends. But Ginger won’t be gone forever, Dodie.” Darren chimed in…“It’s only for one semester.” Then that was when she went at it… Again. Stating: “Just One Semester. Just one semester!? Do you have any idea how much can happen in just one Semester?!?! My bangs could totally be grown out by then… Just to put it into perspective!” She was really dramatic. But later… we came to find out that the scholarship was a total sham. It was all due to a ploy to get rid of Ginger. And two people were behind it. Miranda Killgallen and Mipsy Mipson. God i can’t stand Mipsy. She was the worst. She was the one that saw me as a total loser most of all. Miranda didn’t. Not really. Just that she didn’t see all that much into me. No offense. it was just… her. Mipsy had a cousin named Thea Mipson who helped orchestrate the whole thing. But it was later… when Ginger came back… Dodie and I inadvertently became part of a prank. Operation G-D. *Remembering the past memory* I felt so bad about it. <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-39.png" />I cried. I cried over the mean act. It was so horrible. I hated the taste of it. I never forgave myself for it. <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-41.png" /> <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-40.png?w=500&h=596" /> Never. *Breaking into tears and Crying over the memory* Arnold: *On Air* Wow! That has to really strike a chord. The hurt you feel over being regrettably part of an attempt to hurt another. Whoever this mipsy is… She is no kind soul. But the pain you feel is sincere. We feel for you. We really do. Macie was heard over the radio crying and it lasted about a couple minutes as she was feeling the shame. It didn’t take long for her to get herself back together. Macie: *Sniffles and wiping her tears away* Sorry. I got a rush of past memories that i should have left in the past as it’s been done and over with. I left all that behind. But the memories never will fade. Arnold: *On Air* Some memories seldom do. Macie: *On Air* There was more… Like when we all graduated from middle school. It was like saying goodbye. Goodbye to the past and into the future. I was full of worry. But then it was to be expected. There was a lot to consider. Too much. I was also flirted on by this band geek named Andrew. I broke up with him via public message at a game and during a Band Drill performance. But that was before… life for me changed… Before i met my new best friend Joanna Barlow. Arnold: *On Air* Okay… How did you meet her for the first time? <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-78.gif?w=833" /> Macie: *On Air* I… oh gosh… It’s like a memory that i endured only a short time ago. Last year. I was on my way from some band competition that clearly was from like Utah. It’s kinda silly to think about it. Because it was like my life changed so much since that time. The Bus that the other students and I were on…had made a pit stop at this pancake house in Wichita. However i only turned my back for about a moment. Because i was using the restroom to see on getting a stain out from the Uniform that we were wearing. Yeah… It was a band uniform. I was in it. Miranda was in the bus too… however she never noticed me not being on the bus after the bus left and went off towards the Old hometown. Neither did the driver. I was stranded. So i walked my way back and walked off. going east. East on towards the next city. It was gonna be miles and miles away before i’d reach it. But i made way towards it. However, as i made way over… i came across a wreck. An accident that was odd. I didn’t know who it was and what happened. But i went to go see and that was when i saw this odd girl. She wasn’t really that odd… but i sure had never seen anyone like her before. I didn’t think that i’d meet anyone out in the middle of possible nowhere. As it was… i didn’t have any money. So i couldn’t call a cab. I would need at least… 1000 dollars for that. Or a bus ticket. I didn’t even have that either. I didn’t know the # to home… so i couldn’t even call home from where i was. So… i was up the creek without a paddle. I Met Joanna while i was stranded there and she was the one who clearly looked like she got sent flying into a wooden pole and just left for dead. However she was lying there and within a few steps from a busted up Motorcycle. She was one who knew how to ride. Now… for someone like me… one who was the shy and meek. or what i used to be… That was pretty startling. but deep down… i thought it was rather exciting. To meet someone who knew how to ride. I felt concerned for her. Seeing her there alone. No one was gonna come to check on her. from the way it seemed. So… i did the right thing by going over to her and asking if she was okay… Macie flashes back as tells the first time she met Joanna… “Joanna: *Waking up and seeing the Preteen girl* You’re confused… i’d think. because i happen to be a girl. *slowly getting up* Oh man… What the heck happened? I feel like i was hit by a train. or at least a semi. <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/joanna-barlow-103.jpg?w=833&h=354" /> *Standing* I don’t seem to know who you are… but i will state that i’m thankful that someone came to my aide here. You don’t even know me. But yet… you still came to my aide. We never met. But you’re here now. Standing before me. Why? Where did you come from anyway? Girl: I’m on my way back with the school band back to Topeka. (Was she trying to cover up that she was really from Connecticutt) Or was. I missed the bus. and i don’t have a way back. *Nasally* The band had a competition up in Utah. And we were on our way back… when we happened to stop for some food since we were getting hungry. But i didn’t get to the bus in time and they happened to leave without me. Joanna: Where did you guys stop for food? Girl: At a Pancake house. Joanna: Where at? Girl: Wichita. Joanna: I don’t know who you are… or what your name is. But, i can’t just leave you here stranded without a way back. I’m pretty sure that your parents’re gonna be pissed or if nothing more worried sick if you don’t return back to where your place of residence is. So, why not come along with me. We’ll get through this bull together. Girl: Okay. *Sneezing* Sorry. Clogged nose. Joanna: It’s okay. You probably just caught some dust particles and it went up your nose. Probably an allergen or something. You’ll be okay. Come on. We gotta find ourselves a means of transportation. I gotta get back to Metropolis where some remnant form of my life can be found or for a chance to maybe create a new one… if by chance. I would suppose that you’ll need a better life as well. Least till you get back with your folks. Girl: If that might be likely. But i wouldn’t count on it as they live in connecticut. I’m several states away from where they are. Joanna: I’ll tell you what. Till that day comes where you can be reunited with your parents or by chance that they happen to come to Metropolis and likely move to there and live in Metropolis… You’ll be my right hand wheel. You just stick by me. I’ll protect you. I might be a girl… but don’t think that i can’t produce some kind of fight if i gotta. *Curious* What are you supposed to be anyway? A Band Geek? Just curious. Girl: I guess so. I am in the local school band, you know. I am one of the band members in the school band. Joanna: Don’t tell me. Sheltered Shrubs, right? Girl: Yeah. Although it’s Lucky High School. But how did you know? Joanna: Lucky guess, i’d suppose. *grins* Girl: Wow! Good guess. <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/joanna-barlow-662.jpg?w=833&h=545" /> Joanna: *Driving the Motor Scooter* What’s your name? I can’t keep calling you Preteen girl. Unless you happen to sort of like that. Girl: *Nasally* Macie. Macie Lightfoot. Joanna: Hmm… That’s a unique name if i’ve ever heard one in my life. That’s a nice name. Well… It’s nice to meet you, Macie. I’m Joanna. Joanna M. Barlow. M for Matilda. <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/macie-lightfoot-14.jpg" /> Macie: Joanna… That’s a good name. Joanna: Thanks, Macie. Good knowing that you think so. I like the name too…but sometimes i wonder if it would be possible to have my name changed. Well… at least my first name. Of course… It’s not bad. I had this name since i was born and it was the name i was given. But… What about you? *Curious* Do you even like your name even if it is a rather nice one for all intents and purposes? Macie: I don’t know. *Nasally* I don’t think that i’ve really thought about it like that before. I kinda wonder about the name. First and last name… but no middle. My parents never told me what it was and it was never put on any of the legal forms nor was it ever discussed. Joanna: Perhaps we can come up with one. Everyone’s entitled to having a middle name. I’m thinking of something that fits what you are like. The core. Something that highlights you. *Thinking* How about Melody. Macie Melody Lightfoot. It rather is fitting. Macie: I like the sound of that. *Giggles* Melody. Joanna: It suits you. You should bring this up with your folks though and see what it is that they think about it. It would be a nice change in things. A nice change in name. Not much of a change… Just that there now would be a middle name lodged into it. Macie: Right. *Nods*” Macie: *On Air* Joanna gave me that middle name. Melody. But she never would gather that i was always with that as a middle name. Just that my parents never called me that. So… i never put it in. But my full name was in fact… Macie Melody Lightfoot. All my life. Joanna and I hit it off pretty fast and we became close. She from then on… Protected me. Guarded me. I returned the gesture and helped her quit a habit. Made her better. She did me a service and befriended me… She didn’t have to. But she did. What did it was that we were both loners. She was emancipated with issues. Ones that she gave me the tale of… Told me all about it. I never told and i never will. I made her a promise… and if there is nothing else people remember about me. They can always know this… When i make a promise… I keep that promise. I settle with none less. Arnold: *On Air* Well… we’re all gonna remember you, Macie. A person would have to be blind and totally obliterate to not remember you. From that moment you met… things went on and there lead to you coming to this city. Keeping a rather low profile. Right? <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-26.gif?w=833" /> Macie: *On Air* At first… Yeah. Then when i started on the first day of Metropolis High… I was rather nervous. I didn’t know anyone. Nobody. However… after the first day… that afternoon… I met a wonderful Goth girl. Macie Terrace. Fondly known as Macie T. She calls me Squirt. But it’s out from terms of admiration and acceptance. She liked me. I also made a friend like Zoey Rhapsody. She was pretty nice. I liked her. Aqua Rainbow White. Ridge Mercer… who actually since day one flirted with me. He and I soon after became boyfriend and girlfriend. We didn’t even know each other long enough and already… He and I are… tied. He and I are… long engaged. But i happened to make a lot of friends and i love them all… Arnold: *On Air* That was very sincere. Macie, you have a golden heart. It’s just there for us all to see. *To the Listeners* This is The Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special. And you’ve been listening to the Full story of Macie’s beginnings and life. From her eyes and lips. For all to hear. We’re gonna take a short break… and when we come back… We’ll hear about Macie’s first album and what her plans are for the second Album. What we can perhaps expect for the second Album. Then hear about her concert and what to expect for the concert. Then hear about her plans for the future. Where the future will take her from the concert. Don’t forget that the phone lines are open for callers. If there is a question that you have for Macie and want her to answer it on the Air… Call the Radio Station at 1-219-591-4918 Or go online and go to <a href="http://www.mrhapmetropolis.org/ContactLordArnoldDirect" title="http://www.mrhapmetropolis.org/ContactLordArnoldDirect" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mrhapmetropolis.org/ContactLordArnold…</a>. to Variety Hour Listings… Click to the live Chat and send your questions. *Playing an 80’s tune* After the break… <img src="https://i2.wp.com/caps.pictures/201/4-the-interview/full/interview-movie-screencaps.com-6872.jpg?zoom=0.5&strip=all" /> Arnold: *On the Air* And we’re back with more of the Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special… as we get the life story of our beloved Rising Star Macie Melody Lightfoot. During the break we’ve received several questions from you listeners… to Macie. *To Macie* The first one reads: Macie, What are your aspirations in life? <img src="https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-77.gif?w=833" /> Macie: *On the Air* Aspirations? I don’t know. I guess that i would one day hope to get into acting. I always did want to act. but just never embraced it as i was for the longest of time too scared and nervous to step forward and get to doing it. But now that i’ve given it some thought… it’d be rather interesting. Arnold: *On the Air* Another listener wrote and asked a question. It’s from a Emily Gilmore. Wow! An Elder Gilmore… Hmm… She asks: Macie, When you first got into singing, what was the first thing that came to your mind? What was it that inspired you to get out there and let your voice be heard by the people? Macie: *On the Air* That’s a bit challenging for me to answer. I can’t really say what the first thing was that came to my mind. I guess if i had to say something on that… i think that the first thing that came to my mind was just to sing naturally and let it come from my heart. I usually keep to myself when i sing. At least… that’s how i used to be. But now… it’s different. It’s changed. Now… i sing like it was always meant to be… me up there in the limelight. What inspired me to get out and let my voice be heard by the people? That’s nothing to think about as the thing that did it… was the fact that there was nothing but dark in the world. There was no light. No love. And as a fallen artist would say… What’s the point in life if there is no love among the world? Without love… Life isn’t worth living and it got to the point where someone had to say something. Do something. Plus i listened to some songs done by the artist MJ. He was about love. He spoke it and embraced it. But got crucified by people. If there is only one core message that i can provide… it’s this: Love as much as you can. Let love fill your heart with the blessings of romance. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you love. If you love something…fight for it. and Stand firm. Arnold: *On the Air* The third Question is from someone over at Metropolis Ranch… Doralee Rhodes… She asks: Macie, What music drives you most when singing about love? Macie: *On the Air* I think that it’d be rock and Roll… Pop, and disco. Plus K-Pop. I really feel those genre’s of music playing through me as i singing about love. I kinda seek for Country. But nothing’s really coming to mind. Arnold: *On the Air* One more question before we go on with more of the 2 hour special… This one is from Macie T. She writes and asks: Squirt… When it comes to picking favorite rock bands… which ones happen to stand out more for you? Macie: *On the Air* I would have to say that when it comes to favorite rock bands… Journey. Or Reo Speedwagon. Journey… Because of Steve Perry. I mean call it crazy… but i think that he’s rather hot and Mmm! Very sexy. He’s the kinda guy that any girl would want to get with. Anyone with their radars set high on rock bands and looking for anyone who’s fresh meat. Most of my first Album consists of songs that were originally done by Journey. So… I think that that one’s a no contest. I put my style of the songs in there… and their songs… it talks about love and a person’s journey on the road. The struggles and tribulations. Arnold: *On the Air* That’s admirable. Every artist has to have that certain niche. Something that moves them. Without that inspiration… the artist is just going around and flailing aimlessly into the great unknown. No clue as to where they’re leading to or how they intend to get there. *A second pause* Now back to the Lord Arnold Variety Hour’s 2 hour special edition. More on the life of Macie Melody Lightfoot. Our own beloved Rising Star… *To Macie* So, Macie… up to now… We heard about the beginnings and what your life was like. from the very beginning till now. About how you first came to Metropolis for the first time… and how you met Joanna. Now we are interested in hearing about what your first Album is about… then what your plans for the second Album will be. What we can expect. So… your first Album… What is the core message that you want to send by the first album? Macie: *On the Air* It’s kinda expressive as the first Album was just to point out my beginnings. Where i began in life and what my struggles were. Because in my life… My struggles were hard and a challenge. For the longest time, i had to live life feeling like i was rather lowly. Unwanted… undesired. My longing for that embrace of love. A journey that my heart wanted to tell the world all about what trials it was put through. The second Album’s gonna be about the Power of Love. The Embrace of Romance. With a few of the songs being my style of Dido. Because i believe that with the emotions that i feel. The sensations that Love is… Having that life message within each one… It’s about telling people to hail to the power of Love. Letting it run and fulfill them. I believe in love. It’s innocent… or Erotic… Exotic. or pure. Sanctified or old school. Love is… eternal. Arnold: *On the Air* Wow… That’s a powerful message. Macie, you’re only 15 and yet with so much love that it burns like the fires of a thousand stars and Thousand suns. Each one burning brighter than the last. I think that we can truly expect phenomenal things from you. Lovely things. The love is endless when your around. I think that your presence alone shines and lights up the atmosphere. The rooms. The airwaves are spreading your love. I think that anyone listening out there… would agree. Macie: *On the Air* Awww! Thank you, Lord Arnold. You’re really sweet. I can’t help but blush…</div></div> My concert announcer: <div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="Hider">Hider [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><img src="https://vz.cnwimg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Michael-Buffer.jpg" /> Michael Bluffington: *On the stage* Ladies and Gentlemen… It is time for the Queens, New York concert as part of the Rising Star’s “Doorway to Love” National Coast to coast tour.
