Chapter 2
Heyyy. Sorry about the super long wait. D:
Anyway, what do you guys think of a Christmas-themed chapter? I thought that Tracy would force everyone to participate in a Secret Santa thing and she'd just choose who was going to give a gift to who, and then she'd threaten them in order to get them to do it. Let me know if you like it and if I have time before Christmas I'll try to write one.
I don't own RF 4.
I grinned as Margaret seemed to think over my suggestion.
"I guess hearing your music would give some variety..." she muttered. I started to bounce on my heels as she said this, hoping it meant that she'd agree.
"Okay. You can play your iPod" she said finally. I beamed and started clapping.
"Yay! That's awesome! Tomorrow, real time?"
"Sounds good. I'll let everyone know"
I smiled as I pressed the return button, sending me back into the real world.
"Let's see... What song should I use?" I asked to myself.
-x-x-
The next day, I went into the game world, and found that everyone was already headed to the restaurant.
"Hey Tracy. I heard you're gonna play some music today" Leon said from behind me, making me jump. I turned and gave him a playful smirk.
"Yep. Why, do you wanna play a romantic song for Vishnal?"
Leon chuckled at this. Leon sort of knew about my fanfiction obsession, but he found out purely by accident, I had mistakenly left my Android near him while it was on a yaoi story. But he didn't really know about my plans, or that I paired him (and everyone else) with someone, so we mainly joked around with it.
"Well, I should get there"
"I'll walk you" Leon offered. I shrugged and we started to walk towards Porcoline's.
When we got there, Margaret practically tackled me to the ground.
"Tracy! There you are! C'mon!" she screamed in my ear, dragging me to her piano.
"I brought my speaker, so everyone should be able to hear" I said loudly, making everyone in the restaurant cheer. I smiled and pulled out my iPod and my portable speaker, plugged it up, and turned on 'Stronger' by Kelly Clarkson.
I scanned the area as the song started, searching for that red-headed dwarf. When I spotted him, swaying his head to the tune, I kept my eyes on him. He was my target for today's plan-slash-prank.
I waited until I had played through 'Face of Love', '22', and was halfway through 'Hit the Lights' before I went to talk to him.
"Hey, Doug. Come here" I said, loud enough so only he heard. He looked at me in confusion, then shrugged and followed me to an isolated corner.
"Hey, you want to prove to the town your true feelings for Dylas?" I whispered. He stared at me for a moment with wide eyes.
"What?!" he almost drew attention to us, but only Vishnal was close enough to hear it over the music, and I guess he didn't want to be impolite because he just glanced at us.
"Well, everyone's always teasing you. Don't you want to prove it once and for all?" I asked innocently. I wasn't saying 'hate' or 'love' or anything for a reason- I wanted him to misunderstand.
"Oh... Yeah! Why?"
"Well, I have a song that would be perfect... I'll dedicate it from you, to Dylas"
"What's it called?"
"'Disgusting' by Miranda Cosgrove" I did my best to keep from laughing as I said the name of the song, knowing it would be misleading.
"That sounds right. Okay, go ahead" Doug agreed, and I nodded and sent him back to his seat.
Just in time, because the song it was currently on was about to end. I darted over and managed to pause the shuffle right as it ended.
"Attention! I have a request from Doug, to Dylas!" I declared, causing everyone to either look at Doug or Dylas. Dylas himself was shocked, and blushing a little, while Doug seemed proud of himself.
'That won't last long...' I thought smugly, as I found the song and put it on.
My heart booms
At the speed of light
But the exit sign's
Always on my mind
Always in my sight
I can say that I
Really want to stay
But the devil inside
Always wins the fight
Always gets his way
I could already see Doug's eyes starting to widen, while Dylas's blush started to intensify.
Jump out the window
Gotta get out on the highway
When things are getting too attached
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say
It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
Doug was glaring at me by now, and half the room was snickering. I looked back at him as if to say 'Something wrong?'
My mind blinks
Like a traffic light
It's green and red
And stop and go
Changing all the time
And it makes me scared
That I haven't left
And I'm still right here
More, more, more or less
Jump out in traffic
Yeah, I gotta go my own way
My heart is slipping, too intense
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say
It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
Dylas was looking between the iPod, me and Doug by this point, so fast I thought he'd get whiplash. It took all I had to keep from laughing, and it wasn't really enough as I let out a small giggle.
Chapter by chapter
I'm falling faster and faster
Becoming manic, the magic
It's so romantic, I panic oh
Hit the eject button but
It must be stuck, something's up
I'm drifting out
Right over the brink, baby
It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
The song played its final notes and I smiled at everyone, who could no longer hold in their laughter as they were the literal definition of ROFL.
Doug stormed over to me, and dragged me into Arthur's office. I could vaguely hear Arthur shout something about 'don't get blood on the floor' which admittedly made me nervous.
"What the hell?! Why would you HUMILIATE me like that?!"
I smiled innocently again, but this time it was plainly obvious that it was fake.
"You said to play the song!" I said sweetly, swinging my body in the way that you know someone's trying too hard to be childlike and innocent.
"You said it would DESCRIBE my feelings for Dylas! And that it would PROVE my HATE for him!"
"Now, then! I don't remember saying 'hate'!" I pointed out, which shut him up. He got this look on his face, it was like a cross between a deer in headlights and someone who's just been told they're about to die.
"You... Tricked me!"
"Yep"
I glanced back towards the restaurant, and saw Dylas headed our way,
"Um, Doug..."
"Dylas, I swear! She tricked me! I thought it was gonna be some sort of hate song!"
Dylas looked kind of shocked, but within seconds he composed himself and rolled his eyes.
"Good. I was about to punch you so hard, you'd have to eat through a straw"
Geez, desperate coverup much? I could easily see that he was fidgeting, plus the tone of voice he'd used before was nowhere NEAR 'I'm going to punch you'
Unfortunately, Doug couldn't see this fact.
"Well, at least you get that I don't love you. Sheesh, Tracy! Did you honestly think you could fool us?"
"I did fool you, and if he was going to punch you then I'd say I fooled him too" I pointed out, playing along with Dylas's horrible coverup.
Doug only glared at me in response, because he clearly couldn't think of a suitable retort.
I glanced at Dylas again and noticed he was blushing, yet again! I smirked slightly, making sure not to show it.
Things were about to get even better...
