Carrie Underwood - The Necklace

Carrie, Bo and Vonzell went back to their respective home towns and of course were greeted like heroes. 7,000 welcomed Carrie Underwood in Oklahoma, although I was more interested in this little tidbit:

"Underwood said she was given a necklace with a key on it from contestant Anthony Fedorov, who was eliminated from the competition this week, as a good luck charm."

Oooo, I just love this imaginary love triangle! I am so going to write some fan fiction now.

Anthony was unsure of himself as Ryan gave him the microphone.
--You're a class act, buddy, Ryan whispered.
--Thanks, Anthony replied, still shaken that this was finally the end. So Vonzell beat me, damn. What to do now? He thought. Oh, yes, the music is playing. All the things! Anthony sang. Shit, he thought, that's the wrong lyric dork. You will never never never know me! He continued. That's right, calm down, you'll get through this. All the things, he sang, that we've been through.

A million thoughts raced through Anthony's mind. He took a glance at Simon Cowell, sipping a Coke and playing with his lighter. Then Paula Abdul. She's so sweet, he thought, I hope the rumors aren't true, she's lost weight, why is she dancing? And quickly at Randy Jackson who was looking at something on the stage left. This guy never pays attention to me, he thought.

--Girl you know the difference! Anthony sang, and intinctively tilted his head to the left. I might regret this, he thought. But there she was. He was singing to her all this time!

--I love you, Carrie mouthed, tears swelling in her eyes, clinging on the locket Anthony had given her during the commercial break. I love you too, Anthony said with his eyes.

Update: More FAN FICTION!

Flashback #1

--So this is it, huh? Anthony told Constantine.
--That's right bro, time to head out and meet the world! Constantine said. Listen kid, no matter what anyone says, you still have talent. You're the miracle boy! No one really knows what you've gone through just to get here. Your throat operation, that's cool.
--Thanks Connie. I really appreciate it.
--Hey, crazier things have happened in my life and I'm just really blessed to have gotten this far. And to have met all of you guys. Just rock and roll!

Constantine stepped into the rent-a-van the show provided for him to take him to the LAX. Constantine thought, Wow, back to New York, back to that lame-ass band I desperately wanted to get out of. But no matter, I think they booked me on Ellen, I would like to see her.

--Hey Connie! Anthony shouted from the balcony. Rock on dude!
--Listen kid, Constantine replied from the van window. I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
--What? That you're not really a rocker and just pretended to be one to get the ladies vote, and that you're not really interested in winning the contest and just wanted to get publicity for your band?
--No, not that, dude. This!

Constantine snatched the key necklace from his neck and held it out the window for Anthony to see.

--Woah! The key necklace you started wearing after you had that sleep over with Paula! Anthony exclaimed.
--That's right. This is a symbol of everything that is good in the world. It is a symbol of love. It IS love. Ever since I got this key, my performances have just been out of this world, man. I want to give it to you, for luck.
--Thanks. So what's your secret?
--You know what, Paula's a huge rock star, and a couple of days from now people are going to talk about her. Her past relationships, her sex life. It's going to be a scandal. They're going to try make a connection with me because of her crying incident last night on the show. They are not going to find out anything unless one of the THREE of us tells anything.
--Oh my god it is true! You did it didn't you?
--Hell yeah!

Constantine throws the key necklace in Anthony's direction, the symbol of his forbidden love for the past few weeks. He is almost relieved to be rid of it. Rock on, Anthony! He shouted, rock on!

The key flies into the air, taking on the wings of angels. It sparkles in the morning sunlight. The light on Anthony's eyes still shine as he reaches out and grabs what is now his.

--Anthony? A female voice came from the Idol compound. Was that Connie?
It's her! Anthony thought. Umm, yeah, he said nervously, tucking the necklace away. Ah, he just left.
-- Aww, too bad. I wasn't able to say goodbye.
She's so cute, Anthony thought.
--C'mon let's have breakfast. Vonz, Scott and Bo are waiting downstairs.

Flashback #2:

(Sometime ago)

--Hey don't wear that! Constantine protested.
--You mean this little trinket? Bo said.
--That's my key!
--Finders keepers, bro. You know this is the common house. Mi casa e su casa.
--Well, just return it when you're finished. I need it for next week.
--I'm just nervous tonight bro. I need all the help I can get. I heard this is your little good luck charm.
--What did you sing anyway?
--Time in a bottle.
--Slow.
--Yeah.
--It was aiight.
--Yeah? Thanks.

Bo was unsure what to say, after the compliment from his rival.

--There was a revote you know, he said.
--Yeah that's right.
--Hmmm.
--Yup, revote.
--Fucked up.
--Yeah. Constantine stopped for a second. Did you hear Mikalah sing? He said.
--It was alright.
--Man, I'd hate to be in her shoes right now.
--How's so?
--It was bad man. I think she's out tonight for sure.
--Hey, pop music sounds all the same to me... bad.
--I hear ya.

They stop as the door suddenly opens. It's Anwar.

--What are you guys doing in the little boys room? Anwar said with a twinkle in his eye.
--Just chillin', Bo said.
--Yup, just chillin', Constantine said, what's up?
--Well I was just wondering, Anwar said, should I wear this camel jacket or just wear this plain buttoned down shirt and expose a little bit of my chest.
--That's cool, Bo said.
--Which one? Anwar asked.
--Listen Anwar, Constanine said, why don't you just ask Nadia.
--Okay. I get the message. I'll just leave you two lovebirds alone.

Anwar turned to leave.

--Hey Anwar! Bo said, How's Mario?
--I'm not gay! Anwar said, storming out.
--Fruitcake. How long do you think he'll stick around?
--Four weeks tops, Constantine said. Hey, did you know that Scott's porking Nadia?
--No shit!
