Hairspray Fever!

by BookJunkie007

So, this is another story I wrote when I was sixteen. There was supposed to be a whole connecting one-shots dealio going on, but I never got around to finish writing or linking them, so I'm posting them here as they are. D&J characters sing Hairspray.

1. It Takes Two

Hairspray fever had hit the Academy. Hairspray was a frequent request for movie night in the auditorium. No one could walk down the hallway without hearing someone singing a song from the soundtrack; the favorites were "Welcome to the 60's" for Al, "I Know Where I've Been" for Scarlett, "Ladies' Choice" for Emmet, "I Can Hear the Bells" for Zoe, "(It's) Hairspray" for Nosey, "You Can't Stop the Beat" for Delilah, and "It Takes Two" for Julius.

Julius' song. Julius sings "It Takes Two". Julius: Link; Delilah: Tracy

The gang had been doing karaoke and it was now Julius' turn to sing. He went up to the microphone and chose a song.

"Wooo! Go, Julius!" Zoe called. Delilah just sat stiffly as Zoe said this.

Slow music started to come through the speakers. Julius started singing, looking directly at Delilah, in his beautiful voice.

"They say it's a man's world/Well that can't be denied/But what good's a man's world/Without a woman by his side/And so I will wait/Until that moment you decide."

"That I'm your man/And you're my girl/That I'm the sea/And you're the pearl/It takes two, baby,/It takes two."

"A king ain't a king/Without the power behind the throne/A prince is a pauper, babe,/Without a chick to call his own/So please, darling, choose me/I don't wanna rule alone,/Tell me,"

"I'm your king/And you're my queen/That no one else/Can come between/It takes two, baby,/It takes two."

"Don't you know."

"Lancelot had Guinevere/Mrs Claus has old St Nick/Romeo had Juliet/And Liz, well, she has her Dick."

"They say it takes two to tango/Well, that tango's child's play/So take me to the dance floor/And we'll twist the night away."

"Just like Frankie Avalon/Had his favorite Mouseketeer/I dream of a lover, babe,/To say the things I long to hear/So come closer baby,/Oh and whisper in my ear."

"Tell me, that you're my girl/And I'm your boy/That you're my pride/And I'm your joy/That I'm the sand/And you're the tide/And I'll be the groom/If you'll be my bride/It takes two, baby/It takes two."

By the time Julius reached the end of the song, everybody had their cellphones out and flipped open, slowly waving them in the air. Julius went back to his spot beside Delilah and hugged her. He didn't say any thing because he knew she needed time to process.
