Christmas Karaoke Night
I'm
dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to
know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear
sleighbells in the snow
Donny was working on a new invention in his lab while Leo was reading a book and Raph was lifting weights. No one spoke because they were waiting for something to come on the radio.
I'm
dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I
write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your
Christmases be white
Mikey walked through the door. He was up on the rooftops waiting.
I'm
dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I
write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your
Christmases be white
Mikey turned the radio off.
"What are you doing?" Donny instantly stopped all his work.
Raph sat up from his weight-lifting and set them down. "We were listening to that."
Leo looked up from his book.
"I want it off." Mikey said.
"But we want it on." Donny turned the radio on again.
"Yeah, we were listening the Christmas music," Raph explained. "We have to wait and see if Donny won that contest, too."
"Well, excuse me. I just didn't like the song that they were playing." Mikey anounced.
"...You didn't like the song?" Raph echoed.
"It was Christmas music. You love Christmas music. You love Christmas." Donny stated shocked.
"And music." Raph added.
"I just said that." Donny turned to Raph.
"How was I supposed to undertand that?" Raph asked.
"I was speaking english, not science."
"Oh."
"What's wrong Mikey?" Leo asked ignoring Donny and Raph. "You seem a little sad."
"I want snow!" Mikey complained.
"So because there's no snow and Christmas is tomorrow, you don't like that song?" Leo asked confused.
"Yes." Mikey replied like it was no big deal.
Raph spoke up. "Your 15, Mikey. Not five."
"I know," Mikey glared at Raph. "It's just be serious. It's Christmas Eve and there's grass instead of snow on the ground."
"Technically," Donny took off his goggles. "Grass is always on the ground. Snow just covers it."
Mikey gave him a weird look. "My point is that it's Christmas Eve and there's no snow yet."
"Ohh..." Donny put down his tools. "That's Global Warming for you. Global Warming tends to--"
"Donny!" Raph interrupted. "Speaking science and I don't like that. Remember?"
Donny rolled his eyes.
"Actually, maybe all we need to do is sing Christmas songs and it'll snow!" Mikey smiled.
"Who are you? The Rugrats?" Raph asked.
"Raph," Leo put his book away. "I think it's a good idea."
"Leo, the kid's 15. He'll get over it." Raph said.
"I'm not a kid!" Mikey protested.
"Exactly!" Raph smiled knowing he was right. "Besides, it'll probably be snowing in April, anyway."
"April?" Leo became puzzled.
"April's spring, moron." Mikey stated.
"No, it can snow in April," Donny started explaining. "As I was going to say eariler, Global Warming--"
"Donny!" Raph yelled.
"Oh, I'm sorry, king." Donny sat down.
"Hey, guys!" April came down with Casey.
"April! Casey!" Mikey ran over to them. "We're going to sing Christmas songs! Wanna join us?"
"Sure." April smiled.
"...What?" Casey asked.
"Come on, it will be fun." April pulled him into the living room.
"Raph, are you doing this?" Casey asked.
"I wish I wasn't." Raph replied.
"Can Raph and I go hang out somewhere else?" Casey turned to April.
"Sure, go ahead. You guys will probably ruin the mood, anyway." Leo said.
"No!" April yelled.
"But why?" Casey asked.
"Because I said so."
"That's not a reason."
"If you got a problem with my reason," April glared at him. "Then take it up with my temper."
Casey gulped and sat down next to Raph. "You ready to sing, Raph?"
"Your a wimp." Raph laughed.
"Okay, who wants to start?" Mikey asked.
"I will."
Mikey looked beyond all the heads that were staring at him. "Master Splinter, what are you doing here? I thought you were meditating."
"I heard the whole conversasion between you and your brothers. I decided that I would join you for the fun of it." Master Splinter stood next to Mikey.
"Okay." Mikey went over to the karaoke machine.
"Where did we get that?" Raph asked.
"Donny." Mikey responded.
"When?" Raph looked at Donny.
"Awhile ago. I was bored." Donny replied.
"I can tell." Raph stared at Donny like he was a freak.
"Master Splinter, are you ready?" Mikey asked.
Master Splinter gave him a thunbs up. "I am ready."
Have
yourself a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From
now on our troubles will be out of sight
"I think I'm going to die." Raph chanted to himself.
"Why? This is a good song." Donny said.
"This is Christmas." Leo added.
"So? That doesn't mean that I have to be happy about singing Christmas songs." Raph stated.
"Yeah, Raph, come on. I've learned to deal with it. Set your spirit free!" Casey made fun of him.
"Or what?" Raph glared at Casey.
"Or else." April gave the glare right back at him.
Raph sunk inhis seat and shut up.
"Wimp." Casey giggled.
"Shut up." Raph kicked him.
"Ow!"
"Both of you!" April yelled in a whisper. "Knock it off!"
Have
yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From
now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as olden
days
Happy golden days are yours
Faithful friends who are dear
to us
Gather near to us once more
Raph couldn't sit still. "This song is too slow."
Leo rolled his eyes.
Through
the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a
shining star above the highest bow
And have yourself a merry
little christmas now
"Alright, Master Splinter." Mikey set the machine to the next song. "Who do you want to go next?"
"Raphael. Seeing as though he wants to sing so much since he can not keep quiet." Master Splinter glared at him.
"Crud..." Raph got up. "The only reason why I'm doing this is to be repectful to Master Splinter. Other than that, I hate you all."
"Merry Christmas to you too, Raph," Mikey said sarcastically. "Now sing the song."
Angels
we have on heard high Gloria, in
excelsis deo
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the
mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis deo
"Your supposed to hold the word Gloria, Raph!" Donny called.
"It doesn't say that on the screen so shut up!" Raph argued.
Come
to bethlehem and see Gloria,
in excelsis deo
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come
adore on bended knee
Christ the lord the newborn king
Gloria, in excelsis deo
"Your still not holding the word..." Donny continued.
"Who cares?" Raph thought he was going to go crazy.
See
him in a manger laid Gloria,
in excelsis deo Gloria, in excelsis
deo
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary,
joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria, in excelsis deo
"Is that is? I'm done. I wanna be done. I'm done." Raph sat back down on the couch.
"Okay, then..." Mikey shook his head. "Who do you want to go next?"
"Donny." Raph pouted.
Donny stood in front of everyone. "I'm going to sing the words correctly, too." he turned to the screen.
Raph stuck his tongue out.
Mary,
did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary,
did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and
daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you
new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you
"This song is slow too." Raph complained.
"Do you have to go into the other room?" Leo asked.
"Jerk..." Raph replied.
"Be nice." Master Splinter ordered.
Mary,
did you know Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind
man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm
with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where
angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of
God?
"I don't want to be nice. I want to be mean. I'm in a bad mood." Raph vented.
"And your saying that Mikey's 15 and not five...Just a news flash, we're the asme age as him." Leo remarked.
The
blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live
again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises
of The Lamb.
Raph slowly turned to Leo. "You know, I'm gonna--"
"Raphael, go in the other room, please." Master Splinter rubbed his temples.
Raph sood up and left.
Mary,
did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary,
did you know
that your Baby Boy will one day rule the nations?
Did
you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The
sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
"Leo, you can go next, I guess." Donny sat down.
"I'm ready, Mikey." Leo stood up in the front of the room.
"One moment, please," Mikey turned to everyone else. "Please remain seated while someone is performing. Thank you." Mikey turned the song on.
"..." Casey and Donny exchanged weird glances.
Do
you remember me Well, I'm all grown up now So here's my lifelong wish
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With
childhood fantasies
And still
need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can
dream
My grown up christmas
list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
"Where's Raph?" Donny whispered.
"Master Splinter sent him out of the room because he couldn't shut up." April answered.
No
more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
and wars
would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone
would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would
never end
This is my grown up christmas list
"Can I come back in now?" Raph poked his head in.
"Shh!!" Everyone glared at him.
As
children we believed Well heaven only knows
The grandest sight to see
Was something
lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
That
packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
"Seriously, can I come back?" Raph came over and whispered.
"Are you done being a baby?" April asked.
Raph glared at her. "You are growing quite a tongue in your mouth..."
No
more lives torn apart What is this illusion called the
innocence of youth
That wars would never start
And time
would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And
right would always win
And love would never end
This is my
grown up christmas list
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find
the truth
(there'd be)
"Hurry up and sit. Be quiet, as well." Master Splinter moved over so Raph had room to sit.
No
more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time
would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And
right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my
grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is
my grown up christmas list
"Very good, Leo. Your all set." Mikey smiled at him.
"Should I pick someone else to--" Leo began.
Mikey turned to everyone else ignoring Leo. "What did I just say before Leo sang?"
"It was Raph's fault." Casey defended himself and the others. But mostly himself.
Mikey rolled his eyes and then smiled at Leo again. "Who do you want to sing next?"
"Um, April..." Leo stared at Mikey like he was going to kill someone.
"Okay, April, come on down." Mikey went back to the machine.
Leo sat down and April stood up. "Ready." She anounced.
Silent
night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin
Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in
heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
"Why are Christmas songs so slow?" Raph asked.
"Do you have to go back into the other room, Raphael?" Master Splinter replied.
"I was just asking a simple question." Raph stated.
Silent
night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream
from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the
Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
"Not all songs are slow." Donny said.
"Name one." Raph replied.
"Greatest Time Of Year by Aly and AJ." Casey responded.
"You listen to Aly and AJ?" Leo asked.
"Yeah. Their pretty hot. Especially AJ." Casey smiled.
"They look the same. Their twins." Raph said.
"No their not. Their two years apart." Casey corrected.
"Either way, they look like twins."
"Your point?"
"They look the same," Raph said. "How can AJ be prettier than Sally?"
Casey gave Raph a weird look. "Aly."
"Whatever."
Silent
night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams
from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus,
Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
"Will you two shut up?" Mikey asked.
"No!" Raph yelled.
"RAPH!" April screamed.
"Sorry..." Raph shut up.
Silent
night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin
Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in
heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
"Do you want to go next, Mikey?" April asked.
"Sure. Can you do the karaoke machine?" Mikey answered.
"Yeah." April and Mikey switched places.
"Hey, what about me?" Casey asked.
"You don't deserve to sing after you were talking while I was singing." April replied.
"Ha, ha!" Raph laughed.
"At least I didn't get sent out of the room for talking..." Casey muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You'll be next, Casey, okay?" Mikey said.
"Yep." Casey sat back and relaxed.
You
better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm
telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
"This song is fast." Raph jumped up.
"Sit down!" Donny and Leo pulled him back in is seat.
He's
making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's
naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
"So I was happy to make a new discovery, big deal!" Raph explained while everyone was glaring at him.
He
sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He
knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not
pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa
Claus is coming to town
Mikey went back to the karaoke machine, April sat back down, and Casey stood up.
"It's over?" Raph asked.
"If you weren't talking, you'd know." Mikey remarked.
"...Oh..."
Feliz
Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Felicedad

"I can't sing this!" Casey protested.
"Why not?" Mikey asked.
"I can't read this!"
I
want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry
Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom
of my heart
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish
you a Merry Christmas

From

"Can you read that?" Mikey asked.
"Yes. How can you forget to translate the song into english?" Casey shook his head in disgust.
Feliz

Prospero ao y Felicedad
Casey's jaw dropped. "What the...?"
I
want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry
Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom
of my heart
Raph laughed out loud.
"Will you shut up?" April glared at him.
"You know, if you keep glaring at people like that, your gonna get all wrinkly." Raph nodded.
"Your gonna get cold if you don't zip it." April responded.
"That's...A nice comparision..." Raph stared at her in horror.
I
want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry
Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom
of my heart
Feliz Navidad

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" Mikey jumped up and down.
"I can't breathe!" Raph fell on the ground sarcastically.
Donny turned on the TV.
"Guess what the weather's predicting for tomorrow, Mikey?" Leo watched it with Donny.
Mikey jumped up and down. "Snow! Yes! It worked! It worked!"
"Nope. Rain." Donny glanced back at him.
"But the singing was a good try, though." Leo said.
"...What?" Mikey was ready to cry.
"Just kidding. One foot of snow tomorrow. Starting around six AM." Donny smiled.
"Jerks..." Mikey sat down on the floor laughing.
Raph was still lying on the floor. "And you guys tell me to be nice on Christmas Eve..."
The End!
Ann: Hope you liked it! And like I said before, It's April, but I don't care. I felt like doing it now. R&R please!
