(Song fic with Immortals by Fall Out Boy. That Band is life. )
Here it is, the last drabble for the month. I never thought I'd be able to do this, not really. Now I have something large scale I completed. This was a labour of love and hate and I'm glad I did this!
They say we are what we are
Ever Since Ranawat had set foot in FITE, the Dream Team had found it's name tarnished and parodied.
Trash Team.
They could hear the giggles and the whispers.
And they could see the sneers and the mocking faces.
Trash Team!
But we don't have to be.
Randhir and Parth were the not ones most upset by the way they had parodied the name.
Randhir only had to open his mouth and stand up, his body
Sanyukta hated how they were disrespecting Vardhaan Sir's vision. He'd started the dream team and now they'd sullied that very name.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.
Vidushi walked with her head held high. She made people stop staring and whispering with a single glare.
Her taunts rendered the haters speechless.
"Good one Vidushi!" Randhir grinned.
Vidushi smiled "I may be bad but I'm PERFECTLY good at it!"
Sanyukta chuckled, winking at her roommate.
Vidushi winked back, handing her the spanner.
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame.
If Vidushi and Randhir were the sword and the spear then Sanyukta and Parth were the shield and the armour.
They were always taking precautions, ensuring the little conflicts didn't damper the enthusiasm or the passion that was the foundation of the dream team.
"Come on guys we can do this! We've handled worse!" Sanyukta smiled, wiping grease off her wrist.
"Great. We just have a few more steps left. And we are the damn dream team!" Parth growled, welding together a few parts.
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
Sahil and Khuswant Singh aka Yoyo were the glue holding the team together.
Sahil was good at ignoring people who meant nothing and Yoyo laughed it off like the words didn't matter.
They provided the relief and necessary funny moment and kept the nerves from rising.
They had a small role to play, but they played it well.
Oooh
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
Yoyo wasn't as strong as Parth. Or smart as Randhir.
He wasn't as persistant as Sanyukta or as shrewd as Vidushi.
He wasn't as adaptable as Sahi.
But he knew he was a part of the team and he had a duty to it.
So for the many time in years, Yoyo actually read the words in his books and took an interest in the machines.
Oooh,
I try to picture me without you but I can't
Vidushi was trying hard to lift the metal off the floor.
"Here, let me." Parth offered.
"No, I don't want you to do me any favours. Sahil will help me, won't you Sahil?" Vidushi smiled at the other boy sweetly.
Parth sighed. "Vidushi.."
"If you don't care then act like it." Vidushi managed to lift the piece of metal up.
She stumbled, only to find an arm around her waist.
The metal fell to the floor with a clang.
"Are you ok?" He turned her around to face him.
"I..I..I think so." she buried her face in his chest, shaken up.
"Parth..you need to let me move on." she whispered before she pulled away.
'Believe me, I'm trying.'
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long.
"Spanner!" Sanyukta commands and Yoyo hands it immediately.
Sparks fly as Parth welds metal.
Randhir is pouring over a book and Vidushi and Sahil are checking the erognomics and the comfigurations.
They are working together like a well oiled machine.
And live with me forever now,
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long.
"Found it!" Randhir grinned.
Sanyukta was by his side in an instant.
"See?" Randhir took her hand and guided her index finger to the line he wanted her to see.
Sanyukta's eyes widened as she took in the printed words.
"Why didn't I think of looking here? You are a genius Randhir!" She pressed a kiss to his cheeks and took the book.
Sometimes the only pay-off for having any faith
Is when it's tested again and again everyday.
"Guys look at this!" she was practically jumping in excitement.
"Kuch mila Sanyukta?" Sahil wiped away a bead of sweat from his forehead.
"Are Smile dekho Sanyukta ji ki.Samajhlo Sab kuch mil gaya!" Yoyo grinned.
The whole team crowded together.
"Hmm..difficult lagta hai" Vidushi frowned.
"Haan difficult hai, par impossible toh nahi. Hum India ke one of the top institutes ke sapse capable students hai." Randhir reminded them all.
"We can do this. We have to trust ourselves. Vardhaan sir choose each one of us for a reason." Parth added.
"We are the Dream Team guys. It's a challenge and we can't afford to even think of losing." Sanyukta asserted.
"Yes. We just need these parts and then these tools. I'll go get the tools. Parth?" Sahil looked at the brawny man.
"I'll handle the parts. No problem!" Parth smirked. It was his forte.
I'm still comparing your past to my future.
It might be your wound but they're my sutures.
"Ouch!" Parth winces in pain and pulls his hand away.
Blood.
"Parth! You stupid clumsy..." Vidushi immediately takes his hand in her and drags him to the table. She had brought the first aid box as a precaution on the very first day, knowing it would be needed.
"I'm alright." Parth tried to pull his hand away.
"Shut up and let me fix it up. I don't want it infected. You'd put the whole team at a disadvantage!" Vidushi dabbed cotton soaked in dettol on his wound.
"Ouch." Parth howled.
"Stop being a baby Parth. It's almost done" she dabbed antiseptic and tied up the wound.
"Go do something that doesn't put strain on your hand. I can handle the cutting" Vidushi took up the cutter.
"You'll get hurt. Be careful" Parth warned.
"I'm used to getting hurt. No big deal." her voice said. Her eyes said otherwise.
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long.
And live with me forever now,
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long.
Finally.
They were done.
They'd achieved what people said they couldn't
No one had the right to call them the trash team anymore.
The car, the labour of love, hate, blood, sweat and tears, stood in the middle of the lab.
Sleek, shiny, black and a sight for sore eyes.
The dream team had made the dream a solid reality and they were sweaty and greasy, but super happy.
Randhir put his arms around Sanyukta and liffted her off the floor, spinning them in a circle.
"We did it. Dare they call us anything but the dream team or I'll run our car over them all" Randhir laughed.
"That'd be cruel because the speed won't allow anyone to get out of the way in time! " Sanyukta giggled
Sahil sat down and lies on floor, panting.
"Ho gaya. Finally. Now I can relax. Nightmares aa rahe the about this car!" he smiled.
Yoyo Rushed off to tell Aster.
Vidushi smiled and makes a move to leave, only to find her wrist held in Parth' s hand.
"We did it!" she smiled.
"No we didn't" he doesn't really look happy, just tired.
"Parth?" She puts her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat . It's fast. She gasps when he pulls her closer.
"What, no hug for me?" Parth asks.
She blushes, composes herself "But you don't care.."
And then his lips are on hers, he doesn't care that everyone is watching.
"Now we did it" he has a smile on his face.
Vidushi blushes a deep red and hits his shoulder.
Yoyo and Aster walked in with a cake from the canteen.
"Celebration toh Banta hai ji!" Yoyo has a cheeky grin.
"Congrats you guys!" Aster hugs Vidushi and Sanyu.
"Cut the cake, I'm starving!" Sahil rubs his tummy.
It growls and the room erupts into laughter.
"Come on you both cut it, you are the captains" Parth prompts.
"Chalo chalo Jaldi karo!" Vidushi pushes Sanyukta forward.
Randhir puts his hand on Sanyukta's and they cut the cake.
"To the Dream Team" Aster lifts a piece and feeds it to yoyo.
"Oh ji, to you too, for being my support" Yoyo feeds aster.
Sahil cswallows his mouthful and cheers "To finally sleeping peacefully at night!"
Everyone laughs at that, feeling relieved.
"To us Vidushi." Parth holds a piece to her lips.
She grins and opens her mouth, nibbling on his finger and then chewing on her cake.
"What was that for?" he ruffles her hair.
"That..was to remind you I won't forgive you so easily." She winked.
"I think we should stay here tonight. I don't want to take any risks with our hard work" Randhir frowned. "I still don't trust Ranawat."
"I agree. It's safer to take the precaution" Parth nodded.
"Guys...he hasn't.." Sanyukta began but the glare the others gave her made her shut up.
"Come on Sanyu, we'll need pillows and Blankets." Vidushi turned to the girl.
"I'll have Nikhil and the others bring enough for all of us. Don't worry about a thing Ji!" Yoyo smiled.
"Vidushi and Sanyukta can go and change. Sahil you and yoyo can go as well. Me and Randhir will go when you come back. I'm not going to leave this car alone for an instant." Parth let go of Vidushi's hand.
They put blankets on the floor and made their beds.
Vidushi was surprised when Parth put his blanket next to hers.
She smiled when he spooned her from behind.
"Goodnight my beautiful princess"
Sahil was snoring softly, dreaming.
Soon, Sanyukta and Randhir were the only ones awake.
"Randhir?" she had propped herself up on her elbows.
"Huh?" Randhir stiffled a yawn.
"Goodnight Randhir" Sanyu yawned, setting Randhir off.
"Good night Sanyu" he yawned too.
When morning came, the rest of the dream team found Sanyukta and Randhir on the same blanket, Sanyukta's leg on Randhir's.
"Awww.." Vidushi giggled "How cute"
"Shh..let them sleep" Sahil yawned.
Parth pressed his forehead to Vidushi's "Chai?"
"Yes please." she whispered.
"I'll come too." Sahil scratched his head. "It's breakfast oclock"
"Let's leave the love birds to themselves" Yoyo grinned.
"Love birds? Who?" Randhir woke up with a start.
"Huh? Did something happen to our car?" Sanyu muttered groggily.
The room erupted into laughter.
"Goodmorning!" Vidushi giggled at the baffled look on the couples face.
"Let me sleep" Sanyukta put her head on Randhir's stomach.
Outside, Ranawat shook his head.
And this batch of fools would represent India in the Dream Team competition.
"Shayad mein galat tha. "
This is their cup of tea after all
