TITLE: Songs in a minor (from the Alicia Keys CD)
AUTHOR: Diehard Candygirl (Liv)
RATING: PG-13, just for language probably
CATEGORY: 2nd season AU (I guess after VLV), ALL conventional couples eventually.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except the clothes on my back.no wait, my mommy bought those, never mind.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've been planning this story for a while now, but I'm very sorry if it still sucks! Basically, there is going to be about 12 chapters and each one have a song in it. Obviously this is because they are at a karaoke bar. Each major character (by major character I mean: Michael, Maria, Max, Liz, Tess, Kyle, Alex, and Isabel) will sing 3 songs. Some will be solos, others duets, and a few will be in groups (those are my personal favorites!!). This is only my 2nd Roswell fanfic so I'd really appreciate feedback ~ good, bad, or ugly, because it will help improve my writing skills.
Dedicated to my "sisters" ~ Ashley, Gracie, and Jess, you guys are my inspiration :lol
CHAPTER ONE:
"What are you taking that thing for?" Alex asked Maria as she lugged her guitar case down to her Jetta and shoved it in the trunk. "We're going to a karaoke bar, not an open mike night at the local coffee house."
"I know that Alex!! How blond do you think I am?!" She paused to put her hands on her hips, "Look, I'm friends with the manager and I made special arrangements to sing something with guitar accompaniment as an opener."
"Really? That's awesome Ria!! You should have told me sooner, I could've gotten something together with the guys!! You know, next time, let me know like, a week ahead and we'll get a whole set ready!!"
Maria looked uncomfortable thinking, I love Alex and all, but this is something I want to do on my own without the rest of the Whits.
Luckily, she was saved by Isabel who came running out of the house yelling, "People, people, let's get a move one!!! We're on a SCHEDULE here remember!! We have EXACTLY seven minutes to get to there, so jump in your previously designated vehicle and drive!"
"Who put a stick up her butt?" Tess rolled her eyes at Kyle.
"I know right," he replied. "I thought she only got like this during Christmas."
"I heard that Tess Harding!! And don't think you won't be sorry later. Excuse me for trying to plan a nice, fun evening for everyone after the whole Vegas fiasco" Isabel snapped, while climbing into the Jeep.
Michael and Liz walked up the driveway having just finished their shift at the Crashdown. As Max went to talk to Liz, Michael made sure he got a seat in Maria's car. After a few minutes of seat-switching (with Maria, Michael, Tess, and Kyle in the Jetta and Max, Liz, Alex, and Izzy in the Jeep) and Isabel-bitching, the group was on its way. However, this did not stop certain members of the party to continue complaining because they were "dragged along".
"This is such a waste of time! Do you know that I'm missing an important hockey game for this crap? And I'm not singing, no matter what you say!" Michael reiterated during the ride there.
" Spaceboy, my darling, you will do whatever I say or there'll be no nookie for you when we get home, got that?" Maria smirked when she saw the shocked look at her boyfriend's face.
"Sometimes, their need to share their incessant flirting with the rest of the world gets a little much don't you think?" Tess said to Kyle from the backseat.
"Oh please!!" Maria argued. "Like you two aren't just as bad. I mean, what the hell is lamp trimming supposed to mean anyway?" She continued as the offending persons began to blush, "All I know is, it's gotta be some sort of sex reference. What do you think Michael?"
"What? Oh, yeah, definitely. I completely agree." He nodded his head thinking, I wonder if that was important? Knowing Maria, either way I'll be in trouble later.
Meanwhile, in the other car.
"I'm kinda nervous about singing in front of everybody you guys." Liz's forehead wrinkled up as she frowned.
"Hey," Max looked over at her and smiled. "Don't worry about it, I know you'll do fine. I'm sure you have a beautiful voice, everything about you is beautiful."
"Besides Liz, look at it this way: half of the people there will be drunk anyhow, so who cares how bad you sound?" Alex commented.
"Wow, I'm sure that makes her feel a WHOLE lot better, nice going. You could have at least TRIED to say something nice," Isabel said sarcastically.
"You're right Izzy. I'm sorry Liz, I'm sure you'll do just fine, like Max said."
I have him so whipped, it's ridiculous. Awww man, but now he's doing that little puppy dog pout with the eyes, he thinks I'm angry with him. Oh damn it all!! Why does he have to be so adorable.Isabel sighed.
"Alex," she reached over and took his hand. "I didn't mean it like that, I wasn't trying to be rude. I've just been really stressed out lately, about school and everything else. Forgive me?"
"Of course I do Iz! I knew you were just kidding." Right.she'll believe that one Whitman! Whatever, it's too late now, you're already whipped.
Both cars pulled into the lot of the club and paid the $5 parking fee. The Tortured Tadpole was mainly an under 21 dance club, but had special all ages karaoke nights every other Friday. Because of the any age invited factor, Maria and Kyle double checked that their parents would NOT be there on that specific night to save both sides the embarrassment.
The eight teenagers walked inside and finally found a table large enough to fit their whole group (without Maria sitting on Michael's lap, that is). After ordering two plates of fries ~ one for the humans and one Tabasco- covered for the aliens, they began discussing the night's activites.
"Um, Iz? If you're done going over the diagram, I just wanted to say something," Tess said cautiously.
"Sure, go ahead. I can tell when no one is interested in my opinion!"
"Ok, sorry then. Um, well.I just wanted to say that, being in Las Vegas with all of you, for the most part, was one of the best times I've ever had. Living with Nesado, I didn't get to hang out with many kids my age, so this is all a new experience for me. I appreciate you letting me into your group even thought some of us," she looked pointedly at Liz, "don't get along all the time. I'd like to work on that."
"Yeah, yeah, enough with the mushy, lovey, dovey, garbage, let's party baby!!" Kyle stood up grabbing Tess' hand and made his way over to the dance floor.
Alex and Isabel, then Max and Liz soon followed them until Michael and Maria were left at the table alone.
"I have to go get ready because I'm up first ok? So, I'll see you later I guess. I'm sorry I made you come, I just, I wanted you to hear me sing with my guitar this time." Maria trailed off and started to walk away.
"Hey," Michael grabbed her around the waist. "I'll always come to hear you sing. You're more important to me than any hockey game, even when you are pissing me the hell out of me, which is 99% of the time."
"Thanx Spaceboy.I think"
----------------------------------------------------
Not all the chapters will be quite this long I don't think, but we'll see. Please feedback whether you like it or not, so I know what to do for next time. Thanx!!
By the way, I hope all you dreamers out there are enjoying the Max/Liz dialogue because it pains me to write it.:lol
