A Wild Karaoke Night

A/N: this story will consist of several different songs. Reba and Lori Ann are at a bar on karaoke night but little do they know some of their closest friends are there too. If you've read Kyra's Secrets, or are planning to read it, you might want to read this first, because it kind of explains some things that happen in the other story, kind of like a prologue. This was originally going to be a one shot song-fic, but I had this idea and thought it'd be a good explanation of some of the stuff in Kyra's Secrets.

TEXAS TAVERN BAR & GRILL
HOUSTON, TEXAS
FRIDAY JULY 17, 2002
7:30pm

Reba Hart was at a local bar with her friend Lori Ann. Little did they know that her ex husband was there with some guys from the office as well. It was karaoke night and Lori Ann had been begging Reba to get up and sing, because the winner got a recording deal.

She finally worked up the nerve to get up and sing, because that's really what she had wanted to do all her life. But before she could get up, a man gets up on stage and starts talking to the DJ. The man turns around to face the crowd and makes Reba nauseous.

Reba looks at her friend wide eyed, "Oh my god. It's him. It's Brock. For all we know he could be drunk on a dare."

Lori Ann can see the fear in her friend's face and says, "Let's just wait and see what he's gonna sing."

Before Reba can say anything else, the music starts a song that neither woman had heard before. Brock introduces himself to the crowd, "Hey guys. I'm Brock Hart. My friend Ed dared me to do this." "But this song is for my ex wife, Reba, who I think I see at that back table with her friend. It's called 18 Days by Saving Abel." then the man starts to sing as a second spotlight finds Reba in the crowd,

Eighteen days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don't wanna have to be here
I don't understand it now

Cause it's been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say its the hardest thing to do
But that's another 18 days
Without you..

Time after time I've been through this
You show me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
As my days fade to night
I remember that state of mind
I'm soaring straight into your heart
And I'll fly high

Cause it's been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's just too many days
Without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this

Cause it's been 18 days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will
Cause its been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feel like a lifetime

I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's just too many days without you
And I know what they say
About all good things Well they come to an end
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this..

As the song was ending, the spotlight was still on the now crying redheaded woman. Lori Ann is watching Brock with her mouth halfway to the floor. They were so glad that Barbra Jean wasn't there at that exact moment.

The music finally silenced and Brock hands the microphone back to the DJ and whispers something in the man's ear. The DJ stands up and says, "Wasn't he awesome? Next up, we have a request from Mr. Hart, he claims that his ex wife always wanted to be a singer, and we all know that the winner of this contest tonight gets a recording contract with the Valory Music Company. So whadda you think, should Reba come up here and sing?"

The crowd cheers in encouragement for the redheaded woman as the spotlight stays where it is. They watch her take a gulp of her drink, stand up and make her way to the front of the room, but only to be bumped into by a very familiar, but unwelcome blond.

"Hey Cheyenne, look I just bumped into!" the woman yells.

Thousands of different thoughts zip in and out of the redheaded woman's mind at the same time she almost faints. 'this can't be happening. Lori Ann's gone and set me up for this. What a moe-ron'

Before Reba can collect herself, a second blond approaches her. "Hey mom! What's are you doing here?"

"Lori Ann dared me to go sing, so I'm singing, no big deal." the woman lies.

"Not true Red, I heard what the DJ said, and I heard the end of Brock's song." the woman explains.

"Look BJ, I had no clue he was here, or you. Like I said, I'm here with Lori Ann." Reba replies.

"Who cares, now we're here, we can have fun. So whadda you gonna sing?" Barbra Jean asks.

"I don't know yet, I'll find something." Reba sighs and makes her way to the stage.

A/N: tell me what you think, should I continue? Do you like it, have any ideas for Reba's song (no Reba songs!) Please Review!!
