Broadening Horizons

I'm back with more Instant Star fanfiction. I'm also postiting at http://www.fanfiction.net/~Misha as well, but since I already started using this blog as a play to store my Instant Star fic, I figured I might as well continue.

Today's featured piece isn't actually Jude/Tommy (well not really), nor is it really depressing. It's a Kat piece set between "Hey Sister" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". It just came to me, so I wrote it.

I like expanding my horizons sometimes anyway. I can't alwyas write the same thing--though I do have more Tommy/Jude stuff in progress, including a chapter piece that should have the first part done shortly.

Still, I'd like to work on stories about the other characters. I mean, you can't write the same story over and over, that's boring. So, here it is, my Kat piece.


My Knight
By Misha

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the characters of "Instant Star" (if I did do you think she'd be so young?), I don't know who does, but it's not me and I'm not making any money off this, so don't sue me.

Author's Notes- This is just a short Kat fic set in between "Hey Sister" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". It stars out more somber and then gets cheerful, since I started it right after "Hey Sister". This is just the sort of interlude piece, sort of Kat's decision to go after Jamie. I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense, but I like it and I hope you do too. Enjoy!

Summery- I know I'm not the princess of the story, but that's okay, because I don't want Prince Charming, I'll settle for the knight, instead.

Pairing- Kat/Jamie, some implied Jamie/Jude and Tommy/Jude.

Rating- PG

Spoilers- Up to "You Can't Always Get What You Want".


In love. Jamie's in love with Jude.

I thought it was some silly crush that he'll get over. Then I heard him say it, that he's in love with her. I thought I'd throw up.

You see, as much as I pretend not to like him, I do. Isn't it ironic, I've got a crush on the guy who's in love with my best friend. And she's got a crush on her producer, who's feelings I couldn't even begin to guess.

It's all pretty complicated.

I really like Jamie. I see him when Jude doesn't, that's what is so frustrating.

He doesn't have a shot in Hell with Jude. She likes him, he's her friend, but she's so crazy about Tommy that she doesn't see anyone else.

Kind of like Jamie with Jude. He's so crazy about her that he doesn't see anyone else, mainly me.

I think that's why I give him a hard time so much, because I don't want to admit my feelings for him. After all, he's crazy about my best friend. And I can't compete with Jude, just like Jamie can't compete with Tom Quincy.

It's a fact of life.

It's like a fairytale, where the basic rule is that the knight doesn't shot have a shot in Hell of beating the prince, just like the handmaiden can't beat the princess.

All she can do is wait until the princess runs off with the prince and breaks the knight's heart.

I don't want to wait that long. I don't want to watch and wait until Jude's smashed Jamie's heart into a billion pieces.

And that will happen. I guarantee it. She'll break his heart. She won't mean to, but she'll do it. She'll do it without ever realizing it.

Because she doesn't see Jamie, not really, she never has. She sees him as her best friend, but she doesn't see him as more that, she doesn't want to see him as more than that.

But I do and I'm going to do something about it. I'm not just going to stand here, while he pines away for the girl he'll never get.

Why should I? Why shouldn't I have a chance at being happy? Maybe I'm not the princess in this fairytale, but that's okay, I'm not aiming for Prince Charming.

Well, he might be my Prince Charming, but not in this story. No, in this story, that titles reserved for a certain producer.

But that's okay. I don't really want Prince Charming. I'll let Jude be the princess, I'll let her have her boy band hottie. No, I just want Jamie.

And I'm going to get him.

Jude doesn't want him, she never will. So I don't think she'll mind if I pursue him. I mean, why would she?

So, I'll do it, I'll pursue Jamie Andrews and make him see that there are other girls besides Jude Harrison out there in the world. That while Jude isn't meant for him, maybe I am.

I'm going to do it, I'm going to make Jamie see that I'm the girl for him!

Just maybe this story will have a happy ending after all, even if we aren't the stars of any fairytale.

That's okay, if I can get Jamie, then I'm okay with second billing. I'll let Jude have the spotlight and Prince Charming, I just want a noble knight named Jamie Andrews.

The End

So there it is. Another Instant Star piece. I'm getting quite addicted, actually.
