AN: I thought of this randomly in the car on the way from practice a few months ago but never got around to writing about it until now. So… read and review. I think this is possibly the longest most boring song filled oneshot in HISTORY.
Claimer: Plot/ Disclaimer: Characters. Doi. (is that how you spell it?) and,
-Wannabe (Spice Girls), Bananza (Akon), When Love Takes Over (David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland?), High of 75 (Relient K), Beautiful Disaster (Kelly Clarkson), One Hand One Heart (Barbra Streisand), and Our Time is Here (Camp Rock Crew)
Yeah. You are in for one HECK of a song(s)shot…
The boys were bored. Very bored. For three bird-kid boys, staying in one place for a long time got very old, very fast. Fang, Iggy and Gazzy were sitting around the Martinez's kitchen table after breakfast, drumming their fingers on the table. Dr. Martinez walked into the room.
"What are you three doing inside on such a beautiful summer day?" She looked questioningly at Fang.
"Bored." One word as always. Anymore and it might give the good doctor a heart attack.
"Why not go out to the pool? The girls went out half an hour ago. I'm sure it will be more fun than just sitting in here. And it IS one of the last days of the summer…" Max's mom grabbed her car keys off the table. "I have to go to work now, but I expect you boys to be outside when I come back." The boys nodded as Dr. Martinez swept from the room.
After she was gone they exchanged glances. "I'm in." Iggy said. Fang smirked at him.
"Would this have to do with a certain girl named… Ella? In a bathing suit?" Iggy punched Fang in the arm but blushed. Fang always talked the most around Iggy and Gazzy, and sometimes Max.
"ME TOO!" Gazzy shouted gleefully imagining cannonballs into the water. Fang just nodded, and a minute later, they were all changed into swim trunks, with towels slung over their shoulders. Fang was wearing black trunks with gray Hawaiian flowers on the sides. Iggy was wearing lime green swim trunks, and Gazzy was wearing blood red swim trunks with a shark on the butt. Their towels matched there suits.
After making sure that they all looked "hot", they made their way out of the sliding door. The pool was on the other side of the garden, so the boys had to walk down the garden path. As they got close enough to the pool to smell the chlorine, they were surprised to hear music blasting… and the girls singing along. It may have not been so strange if they had not heard Max too.
"Definantly a dare." Iggy said as he too heard Max singing. Shrugging, the boys started walking again. When they walked past the cherry blossom trees, they were brought up short once again as a new song started. Nudge had jumped onto the diving board and then laughed as the music started up.
(Nudge) Yo I'll tell ya what I want
What I really, really want
Fang laughed at Iggy's expression when Ella sang,
(Ella) So tell me what you want
What you really, really want
They both sang their lines again, and then Nudge tried not to laugh as she sang,
(Nudge) I wanna… I wanna… I wanna… I wanna…
I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zag
Ahhhhh
Then it was Fang's turn to be shocked silent as Max sang in a surprisingly good voice,
(Max) If you want my future
Forget my past
(Ella) If you want to get with me
Better make it fast
Here Fang and Gazzy had to smother their laughter at Iggy's wide-eyed shocked expression.
(Nudge) Now don't go wastin'
My precious tiiiiiime
(Angel) Get your act together
we could be just fine
(Nudge) I'll tell you what I want
what I really really want
(Ella) So tell me what you want
what you really, really want
(Nudge) I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zag
Ahhhhh
Then all four girls broke out in the chorus.
(All) If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever
Friendship never eeeee-eeends
If you wanna be my lover
You have got to giiiive
Takin' is too easy
But that's they way it iii-isssss
(Ella) What you think about that
now you know how I feeeeeeel
(Max) Say you can handle my love
Are you for real?
(ALL) are you for reeeeaaaaaal?
(Nudge) I won't be hasty
I'll give you a try
(Angel) If you really bug me then I'll say
goodbye
(Nudge) Yo I'll tell ya what I want
What I really, really want
(Ella) So tell me what you want
what you really, really want
(Nudge) I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zag
Ahhhhh
(All) If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever
Friendship never eeeee-eeends
If you wanna be my lover
You have got to giiiive
Takin' is too easy
But that's they way it iii-isssss
Nudge and the girls had been dancing around, but now Nudge hopped back up on the diving board and seemed to be berating the air as she kept on singing.
(Nudge) So here's the story from A-Z
you wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully
we got Em in the place who likes it in your face
you got G like MC see who likes it on an
Easy V doesn't come for free (she's a real lady)
And as for me, HA you'll see
(All) Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
(All) If you wanna be my lover
you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever
friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover
you have got to give
Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
If you wanna be my lover
(Nudge) you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, slam, slam, slam, slam
(Max, Ella, Angel) Slam your body down and wind it all around.
(All) Slam your body down and wind it all around.
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
(Max, Ella, Angel) Slam your body down and wind it all around.
(Nudge) Slam your body down zigazig ahhhhh
The boys stood in shock as they all jumped on the diving board and struck a pose. Nudge was in the middle, one knee bent, hands on hips. Ella was bending over and resting her hands on her knees to Nudge's right, and (because the Spice girls are flexible) Max propped on leg on Nudge's shoulder and did a sideways split, with one hand on her hip, the arm resting on her propped leg. Angel was kneeling in front of Nudge, hands on knees, leaning forward, with a com-hither look on her face. There was just music playing in the bathroom, and then they all suddenly sang,
(All) If you wanna be my lover (lover, lover, lover, lover((getting quieter)) )
Then, with a great big splash, they all jumped into the pool. The boys hadn't moved in a long time. They were standing so that the girls couldn't see them. They were just about to walk in and pretend nothing had happened (for it would be as embarrassing for them as it would be for the girls) when the girls jumped out of the pool and the next song began to play.
The started "Ah- Ahhhhing" to the opening lyrics of Bananza by Akon. Fang suddenly got and idea and quickly whispered it to the other boys. They all grinned. Right before the other lyrics came in, the boys began to walk in. Fang started to sing,
(Fang) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
Before the girls could recover from their shock (they had still kept ah-ahhing though), Iggy took over with a sly grin on his face.
(Iggy) Yo, excuse me, beg your pardon girl
Do you have any idea what you starting girl
You got me tingiling, come to me mingiling
Steppin off lookin bootylicious and jingiling
Gazzy started laughing as he started to sing.
(Gazzy) When you walk, I see you baby girl
When you talk, I believe it baby girl
I like that, thick-petite n' pretty
Little touch is a ditty
Love to work the kitty like purrrrrrr
She loves to stirr it up purrrrrr
I can hear her purring up
At the purring, the whole group was having trouble keeping it together. Fang struggled to keep a straight (seductive) face on as he sang.
(Fang) Cause shes the type that'll get arousy of
Get you excited and call her boyfriend up (ohh)
What's the man without the plan B
We can meet up at the hutter house for the tiki
So stand by like a butt you pass
While I watch this beautiful thing shake that ass
This time Iggy sang the chorus.
(Iggy) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
(Gazzy) Girl I must say you the flyest thang in here
So hot I gon' need some rain in here
Type to make ex-gangstas bang in here
Girl you could do anything you want in here
Clown if you want to, frown if you want to
You ain't even gotta drop down if you want to
Cause I'd rather see you shake it standin
Either way you do it girl you look outstandin (uhhuuuhh)
(Fang) And now you got me spending (uhhuuhhh)
The way you got that body bendin (uhhhuhh)
Ass like that girl you gotta be kickin
Got me goin to church next day repentin
Lap dancing for my FA crew
Slide it ova to boo cause he want some too
Up in the VIP with no fee
Blessing you with the G even tho we gettin it free so
(Gazzy) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
Gazzy sang the next part, failing at his attempt of a seductive face. An eight year old just can't pull it off…
(Gazzy) Girl shake ya body body
With somebody body
Fang stared right at Max as he sang the next few lyrics, knowing that she would do it literally given the chance…
(Fang) Whatever you do don't break your body body
After the party party
Iggy looked/turned his face to Ella as he sang,
(Iggy) Grab a hottie hottie
In the back seat of your Maserati-ratti
(Gazzy) Jiggle jiggle it to the left (ah ah ah)
(Iggy) Jiggle jiggle it to the right (ah ah ah)
(Fang) Jiggle it to the front then jiggle it to the back
(All) And jiggle jiggle it all all night (ah ah ah)
(Fang) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
(Iggy) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
(Gazzy) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
(All) Hey ladies drop it down
Just want to see you touch the ground
Don't be shy girl go Bananza
Shake ya body like a belly dancer
At the end of the song, the boys confidence wore off, and the Flock+Ella just shuffled their feet with their heads down in the awkward silence. They all jumped as the next song filled the silence. It was "Yeah" by Usher. The girls looked at each other and shrugged, before starting to dance like crazy.
After an awkward second or two, the boys started dancing too. They all ended up in the pool within a minute, and were quickly engaged in a splashy fight. After "Yeah" was over, a new song came on. Nudge, Ella, and Angel all called a time out, and then started whispering conspiratorially. Finally Nudge, swam over to the side of the pool and got out to make the announcement. "Max is going to do the pleasure of serenading us with her gorgeous voice… doing a solo." Max protested so vehemently that the others were taken back for a minute.
"Don't make me make you, Max." Angel suddenly warned very quietly. Max glared so hard at her, Angel started to shake, but still she stood her ground.
Max knew she was in trouble when both Angel AND the Voice started to berate her in her mind. Max, it is alright to profess your love for Fang. "Where did YOU come from!" She muttered in her mind. "And what does that have to do with SINGING." Realizing they were getting nowhere, the girls resorted to Bambi eyes. Max groaned. She was able to resist for a short period, but she finally gave in.
"Fine." She scowled. They all got out of the pool and lay in a circle on their towels, vainly starting a tanning contest as Max's song was chosen.
"No FAIR! Fang is Italian, Nudge is African-American, Ella is Mexican and Max is half Mexican. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO WIN THIS??? I AM LIKE, ALBINO!!!" Iggy muttered.
"LANGUAGE." Max snapped as she tapped her foot as her fate was decided.
"We have decided," Nudge started.
"That Max will sing," Then Ella stopped.
"OH, COME ON!" Max shrieked.
"When Love Takes Over." Angel quickly piped up.
Max groaned, but started to sing as the music started playing.
Its complicated
It always is
That's just the way it goes
Feels like I waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows
head under water
Now i can't breath
It never felt so good
'Cause i can feel it coming over me
I wouldn't stop it if i could
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
Give me a reason
I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Cant you see me here on over load
And this time I blame you
Looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right, like I know you can
We could lose it all
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (keep saying)
I'll be loving you all the time
its i wanna make it right
with you
When love takes over(x6)
when love takes over over over over over
over over over over over over!
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
Max really got into the song as it got going, and looked at Fang nearly the whole time, but as soon as she finished, she looked down at her feet. They were all looking at her in shock, except for Angel who had known that Max could actually sing very well.
Before they could say anything, Max bolted into the woods behind the Martinez's home. When Ella went to go after her, Nudge put out an arm, and nodded her head to the side at Fang, who as always, was getting up to go comfort her. Ella grinned, and sat down next to Iggy.
As Fang walked away he heard Iggy say, "So Ella…" and then she giggled. Iggy's got a date for sure. Fang laughed in his mind, but then his thoughts wandered back to Max. Was she singing to ME? What was she trying to say? Could she possibly feel the same way about me as I do about her? Caught in his whirlwind of thoughts, he almost forgot what he was in the woods for, before he saw her.
She was just sitting on a log in her bikini, staring at a tree in front of her, leaning against some of the branches that were sticking up. Fang walked over and sat down next to them.
"Hi."
She turned to look at him and sighed. "Hi."
"So…" Fang began, trying to figure out if comforting Max would make things worse.
"It's okay." Max spoke up suddenly. "If you don't feel the way I do… about you." She looked away again. Fang was shocked. But instead of saying anything, he just opened his mouth and began to sing the song that he could hear with his super hearing, coming from the pool area.
We were talking together
I said, "what's up with this weather?"
Don't know whether or not
How sad I just got
Was of my own volition.
Or if I'm just missing the sun
And tomorrow, I know,
Will be rainy at best.
And the forecast, I know,
Is that I'll be depressed.
But I'll wait outside
Hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun.
Because on and off,
The clouds have fought
Their control over the sky
And lately the weather
Has been so Bi-polar
And Consequently so have I
And now I'm sunny with a High
of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive
And the temperature is freezing
And then, after dark,
There is a cold frost sweeping
In over my heart
And we might break up
If I don't wake up to the sun
Because on and off,
The clouds have fought
Their control over the sky
And lately the weather
Has been so Bi-polar
And Consequently so have I
And now I'm sunny with a High
of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive
Sunny with a High of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light (made it light)
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be...
Alive
He waited for her reaction. He didn't have to wait long.
(I considered ending this here, but then realized that I would be making you suffer through much scrolling of lyrics and no story… so I didn't. CA)
Max took one look at him, and then threw herself at him, kissing him hard. He wound his arms around her waist as she threaded her hands in his hair. After a good five minutes or so, they broke apart for air.
Before Fang could say anything Max was walking back to the pool. When they returned (separately) Max seemed to be avoiding Fang. Neither of them would mention what happened in the woods, but the others were dying to know.
Eventually, after more sunbathing ("Pointless" (Iggy) ) and swimming, the Flock and Ella went in for some cookies. Max stayed outside to pick up like she always did, even when there were cookies. She WAS leader after all.
As she cleaned up she started to sing.
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him?
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long
He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
[Fading]
Beautiful
(Beautiful disaster)
Beautiful disaster
She hadn't realized Fang had come back outside to help, until he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She jumped a little, but Fang held on. (NO he won't be singing. Sorry. HA I bet you are all like YES!!!!!. But there is another song coming mwa ha ha ha ha haaaa!!! CA)
"I won't leave you. Ever. I will always love you. You have NOTHING to worry about. I love you more than my wings." Max's eyes opened wide. He loved her more than his own freedom…
"And Lissa? And Bridget? And allllllll your fangirls?" Max asked quietly.
Fang chuckled. "No comparison to you. None at all." Max turned, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him again.
"I can work with that." She grinned.
(I LIED!!! IM SORRY!!! I WAS JUST LOOKING BACK AT MY PLAN AND THERE IS ANOTHER SONG NOW. SORRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! CA)
A new song started playing from the stereo, the only thing Max had yet to clean. (Cause she was singing to it). Fang laughed. "Why do the girls have this song on their iPods?" Max shrugged. The lyrics started up and she rolled her eyes.
"I am NOT singing ANY MORE." She stated frowning. Fang hugged her closer and grinning, started to sing.
(Fang) I have a love and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
Sighing, Max started to sing, smiling a little as Fang grinned at her.
(Max) I love him; I'm his,
And ev'rything he is
I am too...
(Fang) I am too...
(Max) I have a love and it's all that I need.
Right or wrong, and he needs me too.
(Fang) I love her, we're one,
(Max) I love him,
(Fang) There's nothing to be done.
(Max) Nothing to be done.
(Fang) Not a thing I can do,
(Max) But hold him,
(Fang) But hold her,
Hold her forever,
(Both) Be with her now--
(Fang) Tomorrow
And all of my life...
(Max) I have a love and it's all that I need...
Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow,
Only death will part...
Us now.
(Fang) Make of our lives one life,
(Both) Day after day one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part...
(Max) Us now...
(Fang) Make of our lives one life,
(Both) Day after day one life.
(Fang) Now it begins,
(Max) Now it begins,
(Fang) Now we start
(Max) Now we start
(Fang) One hand,
(Max) One hand,
(Fang) One heart;
(Max) One heart;
(Both) Even death won't part us now.
(Both) When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is,
Your love is,
Your love is,
Your life!
After the song ended Max groaned. Fang raised his eyebrows in question. "Its just, that was so, ew. That was so, CHEEZY and CLICHÉ! I just can't take it. I'm about to hurl." Fang chuckled and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Well, you'll have to get used to it, because I am making this officially OUR song." He chuckled as she groaned again.
"We should go inside before Iggy starts making snide innuendos about us without us there to stop him. He will pollute the minds of… actually, what with Gazzy being Iggy in training, Nudge having read everything on the internet, and Angel reading minds, they are already polluted. But still, he will ruin my reputation and I haven't even DONE ANYTHING YET!" Fang just looked at her. "Sorry. I just pulled a Nudge didn't I?" He nodded and then grinned. "What?" She asked wearily.
"Yet?" Fang questioned, grin turning into a full-blown smile.
"Shut up Mister." Max muttered, blushing as she detangled herself from Fang's arms.
When the two went inside, everyone was in the kitchen, busy making lunch.
"We know you were eavesdropping." Fang said in a monotone. Max crossed her arms.
"But Maaaaaxxxx, you two were being so… so CUTE!!!" Max's eyes widened in horror, before she shuddered.
"Prepare to die Nudge." She growled.
"SORRY!!! I FORGOT I WAS BANNED FROM SAYING MAX AND CUTE IN THE SAME SENTENCE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Max tackled her. Nudge landed on a bag of flour, that exploded and sent white powder EVERYWHERE.
"Ummm, oops?" Max said turning to Iggy. She burst out laughing. "You, you…" she couldn't finish her sentence.
"You have a bit of flour… on your nose." Fang said, and soon the entire kitchen was laughing. Iggy was hit hardest because he had been standing in front of the flour. He was completely white, except for the very end of his nose.
Once everyone settled down, they found a job for Max (cleaning the dishes while Fang dried and put them away) so they could all be in the kitchen.
"One last song!" Angel piped up, turning up the iPod speakers Max had brought in.
Immediately all the girls, (even Max to her displeasure) started singing along.
We're done but it's not over
We'll start it again
Out to the end of the day
It keeps getting better
Don't be afraid
we'll do it together
Come on
come on
You know
It's your time to move
It's my time move
Come on
Come on
Let go
Leave it all behind
Your past and mind
Gone are the days of summer
We couldn't change it if we tried
Why would we want to
Let's go where we got to
Our paths will cross again in time
It's never the same tomorrow
And tomorrow's never clear
So come on
come on
You know
Our time
Our time is here
We know but we're not certain
How can we be
How can we see what's ahead
The road keeps on turning
And all we can do is travel each day to the next
Come on
come on
You know
It's your time to move
It's my time move
Come on
Come on
Let go
Leave it all behind
Your past and mind
Gone are the days of Summer
We couldn't change it if we tried
Why would we want to
Let's go where we got to
Our paths will cross again in time
It's never the same tomorrow
And tomorrow's never clear
So come on
come on
You know
Our time
Our time is here
Yeah! Yeah!
Come on
Come on
Come on
Our time is here
Gone are the days of summer
We couldn't change it if we tried
So come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
So come on
come on
You know
Our time
Our time is here
Dr. Martinez walked in on a very messy kitchen of very messy birdkids (+Ella), singing into various kitchen appliances.
"Well… as long as you clean up, I don't wanna know." She said before turning and walking into her study. Fang and Max shared a smile. Summer was over, but they had just begun.
AN: CHEEZY LAST LINE I KNOW! Actually, the whole thing was pretty awful, but it was fun to listen to the songs and see the Flock doing this stuff. So yeah. This was pretty awful. But CC is editing for the first time in a LONG time so there shouldn't be that many grammatical errors. It will just suck. SORRY FOR ALL THE SONGS. REVIEW! PLEASE! AND I WILL WRITE AT LEAST ONE CHAPTER FOR EVERY STORY THAT WE HAVE UP WRITE NOW!!! PROMISE!!!
BTW, how many of you died a bit when the boys sang Bananza? I did…
