Friday Night Out
It was a friday evening and it was raining outside. Six of the descendants were sitting on the couch and watching TV. Atlanta, Herry and Odie were having some hot chocolate. Archie looked at Atlanta. She still wasn't talking to him. And he couldn't talked to her about it.
"Hey what are you doing here sitting like that?" asked Theresa as she came in.
"Why are you dressed up, it's raining outside."
"But Jay, every friday night we all go out together and this week I was going to choose the place." Theresa whined.
"I guess it's ok, but somewhere indoors ok." Jay said.
"I'm just glad Neil isn't the one choosing this week." Odie glared.
"Hey, the SPA is great. And you should be thanking me for making you a little more charming."
"Anyway, dress up cause were going to a karaoke club!" Theresa smiled while everyone was getting up.
"Oh great, I'll go dress up." Neil said just before running of to his room.
"I'll change my clothes to I guess." Archie walked to his room, he seemed a little depressed.
Theresa saw the look on Archie's face. She really was sad for him and she thought she needed a plan to make Atlanta forgive Archie. "Neil what are you wearing?" All of them looked at Neil who was wearing a leather jacket, sunglasses and a baseball hat.
"What, don't I look like a popstar?" Neil said looking behind the dark shades.
"Uuh, not really. Anyway Archie should hurry up." Theresa said just before Archie came out of his room. He was wearing black jeans and a plain T-shirt. Nobody realized he had that much muscles under the sweater.
"Are we going or not?" Archie gave them a confused look.
They all got on Herry's truck.
After they arrived they went in a room. There was a large glass window on one wall which was seperating the singing room from the waiting room. There were three couches two for two and one for three and all of them had little cussions. The CDs were next to the couches and in the singing room there was a chart thingy. The chart seven parts, from worst to best; no comment, worse than a frog, like a frog, so-so, almost, perfect, beter than perfect.
They all went inside, Neil and Theresa got in first and sat then Odie and Herry sat next to Neil, Then Archie sat on the empty couch for two. Jay came in and Theresa asked him to sit next to her. Atlanta got in last (for real) and saw the only empty seat was next to Archie. She sighed and sat next to him and turned the other way.
"Ok I'll go first but I'll need backup singer. Odie you're #1 and Herry #2." Neil said as he stood up. " Hey why am I #2?" "Cause number 1 is short and has curly hair." They got in the room and Neil put the CD.
We

Its too many tears to drown them out
So

Everybody put their hands on their ears except Archie. He was so busy thinking about Atlanta he could barely hear Neil sing. 'I even changed my clothes which she thought were stupid and she's still not talking to me'
One
single smile a helping hand
Its not that hard to be a friend
So

The chart start to light up and stopped at 'worse than a frog' "Dude, it'a all your fault we got that rank." Neil complained at Odie. "Actually Neil Odie is the reason we were ranked that good if he didn' sung the rank would have been 'no comment'" Herry arguied.
"Ok now I'll sing, Neil could you pic one for me?" Asked Theresa. Neil got one without looking and handed it over to Theresa. The song started to play.
It's
easy to feel like Maybe it's your time to lift
off and fly
You're all alone
To feel like nobody
knows
The great that you are
The good that's inside you
Is
trying so hard to break through
You won't know if you never try
I will be there
with you
You'll be fine
Everyone was enjoying listening her, but they knew she was a good singer.
You want to be known You have a
diamond inside of your heart
Don't
let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give
up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more
than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and
make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey,
hey, yeah
You want to be heard
And
know you are beautiful
You have so much to give
Some change you
wanna live
So shout it out and let it show
A light that shines bright as the
stars
Don't be afraid to be
You'll be fine
'I don't know what if she continues to ignore me. Dude just apologize.'
So come on and raise your voice You can't just sit back and watch
the world change Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly
Don't
let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give
up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more
than enough
speak your mind
and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Mak
Hey, hey, yeah
What matters is what you've got to say
There's
no one else who can stand in your place
So come on it's never too
late
You won't

'What

if, what if just do it and if she doesn'taccepts it just tell her
why you did it. You
are me and you know I've been trying to do that more than a year.
Well
you gotta start somewhere.
But it's been too long and I can't tell her anything and what if
she laughes at me. Don't
forget it's never too late and you'll never know how she feels if
you never try. Gee,
that almost makes sense if it wasn't taken from a SONG! What am I
doing, arguing myself, Archie you definetly should get a
grip.' Don't let anyone speak
your mind and make some noise
Tell you that you're not strong
enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being

That's more than enough
So come on and raise your

She came out of the room and everyone seemed better after Neil's song. "Oh, it'salways almost, why never perfect? I guess it wasn't ment to be. So who's next?" Theresa spoke just after she came out.
Nobody said a word until Odie broke the silence. "Jay why don't you sing?" "Oh no I won't." Jay rejected.
"Jay please I'll sing with ya." Theresa recommended.
"I don't know" He looked at Theresa and thought he shouldn't have looked at her. "Oh no, not the 'puppy dog pout'! Ok you got me." Jay gave up.
"Here this one is a classic, a soundtrack from Grease 2." Neil tossed them a CD. "And don't sing while they are talking."
They got in the room and the song started to play. It was Love Will from Grease 2. (I don't think I need to write the lyrics just this part is important)
And
we'll be there together.
Love will turn back the hands of
time.
Whoa oh, turn back
Whoa oh, turn back the hands of
time.
We'll turn back,
Whoa oh, turn back
Whoa oh, turn back
the hands of time.
We'll turn back,
Whoa oh, turn back
Whoa
oh, turn back the hands of time.
We'll turn back!
"Wow, they are singing beautiful together." Herry said and Odie nodded.
"Well how were we?" Theresa asked.
"Well according to the chart, 'perfect'!" Neil answered.
"Perfect?!" Theresa looked amused. Then hugged Jay and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks Jay, I really wanted to do better than 'almost'."
"Yeah anytime. I really wished the song was true." Jay smiled.
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
"I mean really, if love could turn back the hands of time we sure could defeat Cronus." Jay glared.
"JAY!" Everyone shouted at once and threw him the pillows.
"Ok, just kidding." Jay was totally beaten.
"Atlanta, you sing now." Theresa tried to pull her off the couch.
"Look I'm not feeling like singing right now and I don't know what to pick."
"I have an idea, Persephone said we can use the new luck thingy everywhere we want, since you sing a song better if you feel it we can just concantrate on your feelings and pick the right one." Theresa looked at her and wondered what she was thinking.
"I guess it's worth a try." Atlanta got up. She looked at Theresa and then Jay. 'They totally adore eachother but why won't they tell. It's like I love you but I won't say it out loud, totally idiotic' What she didn't realized that the thoughts that came into her mind were read by Theresa but transferred directly to Neil before knowing it.
"Ok I'm starting." Atlanta started to sing. It was 'I Won't Say' from Hercules the movie.
"I thought it would be a song like 'Never Underestimate A Girl' you know more Atlanta style one." Herry whispered to Odie. "Just listen ok Herry."
She was singing it pretty good and everyone was enjoying the show, except Archie. He was thinking about the song that Atlanta was singing at the very moment.
'Dude you are seeing me, I mean talking to me too much lately. Not the reason we are thinking right now. What's up with that song. If it represents Atlanta's feeling that must be she must have fallen for some guy, who isn't me by the way, What am I gonna do. I think we need to get over it. But I really like her and everyday it depresses me to look at her and talk to her without her knowing that I really like her. So go with the plan and tell her that you care about her. No way she'll never look into my face cause she's thinking about some other guy right now, I just hope it's not that Pan guy again. Dude you are stubborn and shy. Anyway I should just let it go'
Atlanta finished her song and everyone was amused noone knew she could sing that well. She was so great her rank was a 'perfect'
"Oh my god Atlanta you sing great! Why haven't you told us that before?" Theresa seemed excited.
"I guess that's because I just found it out." Atlanta laughed.
"Come on Arch, it's your turn."
"No I'm not really in the mood for this ok." Archie sighed.
"No excuses you gotta sing and don't worry if you sing bad it won't harm after Neil's voice." Herry pushed him to the room.
"Ok but what will I sing?"
"Here, catch this." Neil threw a CD to him.
"Ok, here goes nothing." He started to sing 'Let it go' by Kyle.
Every
night I lie awake
my thoughts come rolling in
love is won,
love is lost
and loves
that might have been
I see the ghost of long lost
hope
and shattered broken
dreams
i know it's time
to carry on It's harder than it seems
Everyone
was in a total shock. None of them had thought that Archie had a
voice of an angel. Even Atlanta was now looking at him, but then
after a few seconds she turned away.
I
gotta let it go, all the pain and thrive
I gotta let it go, and
move on with my life
I gotta let it go, it's time to let it be
I
gotta let it go, and then i can be free
Archie
looked at Atlanta she stil wasn't looking at him. 'I
just wished that there was a way she would forgive me even though I
haven't done anything wrong. You
can't win her back with that attitute.
She wasn't mine in the first place! Ok
that won't work either.
Just leave me alone will ya'
the
times gone by,
I can't deny
they've left their mark on me
don't undertstand the master plan
that only god can see
I
need to know, I wanna go
and lock it all inside
I wonder why
and say goodbye
and gather up my pride
I
gotta let it go, all the pain and thrive
I gotta let it go, and
move on with my life
I gotta let it go, it's time to let it be
I
gotta let it go, and then i can be free
I
know I have the will to carry on
Life's made me strong
I've
learned too much to turn my head away
I'm gonna stay
and
brick by brick ı'll build my life again
andIı'll begin
to
learn from all of my mistakes
then let them fly away
I
gotta let it go
I got to let it go,
I got to let-it-go, I got
to let it go.
I got to let it go
I got to let-it-go, I got to let it go.
"I am starting to think that Archie and Atlanta weren't just boarding when they are out boarding" Theresa joked.
"Archie you just made the top of the rank, 'better than perfect'" Neil screamed around.
"Great, not like I care." Archie sat back on the couch and sulked.
Theresa looked at the view, two stubborn teens mad at eachother only one trying to make things beter.
"I think we beter return to Brownstone or Athena will come here and boy that'll be nasty." Herry said.
"Right behind ya Herry, come on guys we're going home."
They all left the room and got in Herry's truck. Theresa was totally determined this time. She must reconcile Atlanta and Archie!
