Cullen's karaoke
"Bella, Edward!" Alice shouted out the back door. I sighed. I didn't want to move; I loved lying with Edward at night. However, Alice would not stop yelling until we did what she wanted. I sighed again, and started to disentangle myself from Edward. He got up as well; we both went through to the closet to get dressed.
When we got back to the Cullen's living room, everyone was already there, even Renesmee, who was on Jacob's lap. Alice's expression told me I wouldn't like what she was planning.
"Karaoke time everyone!" she shouted. "Who wants to go first?" How did I know I wouldn't like it?
"Ok, I'll go first" Alice said excitedly. She moved over to the television and started fiddling with a mike. After about 30 seconds, a slow song started to play.
"Whenever
I see someone
Less fortunate than I
(And let's face it - who
isn't
Less fortunate than I?)
My tender heart
Tends to start
to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to
take over
I know I know exactly what they need
And even in your
case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry
- I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You
will be:
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach
you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt
and flounce
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your
hair
Everything that really counts
To be popular
I'll
help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll
be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's
start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go:
Don't be
offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality
dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a
Sister and
adviser
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I
know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll
bee
Instead of dreary who-you-were: are:
There's nothing that
can stop you
From becoming popular: lar:
La la la la
We're
gonna make
You popular
When I see depressing creatures
With
unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To
think of
Celebrated heads of state or
Specially great
communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me
laugh!
They were popular! Please -
It's all about
popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So
it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
And
though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're
gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity
La la la
la
You'll be popular -
Just not as quite as popular
As me!"
"You're very unpopular with me right now Alice!" I called. Everyone laughed, and then started applauding.
"Right, Bella, you're next" Alice grinned at me and handed me the mike. I headed towards the TV to select a song. I turned to face my family and began to sing.
"Guess
mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to
cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait
for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else
for me
to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to
hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget
him",
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold
on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted
to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my
love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you"
As the song finished, Edward embraced me and buried his face into my hair. I grinned cheekily into his chest. I shoved the mike into his hand.
"Your turn" I informed him; I headed to sit by Alice to watch him.
I immediately recognized linkin park as the song started.
"In
this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've
drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let
mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face
myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go
of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While
I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So
let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face
myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go
of what I've done
For what I've done
I'll start
again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm
forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what
I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done"
