When I said that I will not update very often... forget that. I can say that upcoming updates will be pretty fast.
Blu, Jewel, Rafael and Samuel landed on the entrance of club. Eva and Julia stayed behind, taking care of the kids. Eva didn't want to let Rafael go first, so Rafael used his sweet-talk skills. As always, it worked and now Rafael was free. Four birds walked inside and tried to find Nico and Pedro. The Club looked almost same as previous one. It was little bigger and there were hand made tables near the stage. Nico and Pedro were nowhere to found so Blu decided to ask from bartender. The bar was also new.
''Excuse me, but do you know where Nico and Pedro are?'' Blu asked from Yellow-crowned Amazon who served as bartender.
''They're taking care of some business. While they're gone, there's karaoke evening,'' Amazon answered, motioning singing female Parrot on stage.
''Do you know what kind of business?'' Blu asked curiously.
''I'm sorry, I can't tell you.''
''Oh, alright then,'' Blu said and returned to his friends.
''Nico and Pedro are taking care of some ''secret business'' so there's karaoke while they're gone.''
''Well, karaoke is fun enought. We should find a table,'' Samuel said. Other's nodded and went to find empty table. Jewel stayed behind. She went to bartender.
''Excuse me. I want to sing, but I don't know where to sign up,''
''talk to that guy over there,'' Amazon said and pointed Dusky-billed Parrotlet next to stage. Jewel thanked Amazon and walked over to Parrotlet.
''Can I help you miss?'' Parrotlet asked.
''Yeah, I would like to sing.''
''Well, you came to right man. I'm the serving as host tonight. Tell me song name and I'll sign you up.''
At this time, other's had found empty table near stage. They sat down on hand-made chairs. Jewel joined soon after.
''So, are you going to sing?'' Rafael asked.
''No, singing isn't really my job,'' Samuel answered.
''I'm not sure. I don't know any proper song,'' Blu frowned.
''I'm going to sing. I already have one song in mind,'' Jewel answered. Blu faced her.
''Why didn't you tell me?''
''I just signed up. My turn is soon.''
''You could have tell me earlier.''
''I didn't knew there was karaoke, Jewel said, making good point. Blu was about to say something, but stayed quiet.
''Where they got all this music?,'' Samuel wondered.
''Probably from that mp3 over there,'' Blu said and pointed mp3 player next to stage.
''Shhh! Next song is going to start,'' Rafael said. Dusky-billed Parrotlet arrived to stage.
''Ladies and gentlemen, give it up to Carlos!'' he announced. Middle aged Lear's Macaw walked to stage. Light and steady drums started playing. On the backround was woman's voice whispering something. Carlos began singing.
The beauty spot was borrowed and now my sweet knife rusts tomorrow .
I'm a confession that is waiting to be heard.
Burn your empty rain down on me. Whisper your deathbeat so softly
We bend our knees At the altar of my ego
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
All my lilies' mouths are open Like they're begging for dope
And hoping Their bitter petal chant,"We can kick , you won't be back."
I'm a diamond that is tired Of all the faces I've acquired
We must secure the shadow Ere the substance fades
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
And we said 'til we die
And we said 'til we die
Short instrumental solo
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
You drained my heart And made a spade
But there's still traces of me in your veins
And we said 'til we die
And we said 'til we die
Crowd bursted in applauses and Carlos left the stage.
''Creepy,'' Blu commented.
''You drained my heart and made a spade...'' Jewel hummed. ''what does that even mean?'' she wondered.
''I have no idea,'' Samuel shrugged.
''Me neither,'' Rafael answered.
''I think I understood that spade thing,'' Blu said.
''How so?'' Samuel asked.
''Well, do you know what cartoon heart looks like?'' Blu asked.
''Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?''
''Let me explain. You see, when you turn the cartoon heart upside down, it resembles spade a little. It's easy to notice when you play poker.''
''Poker?'' All three wondered.
''You don't know what Poker is? Haven't you ever heard about Texas holdem or Seven-card stud?'' Jewel, Rafael and Samuel shook their heads.
''Let me explain. There's a dealer and players. Dealer gives players two cards that are upside down so players won't see each others cards. After that dealer set's three other cards on table and...'' Blu tried to explain. Others just stared him like he was crazy or something.
''Never mind,'' Blu mumbled.
''But I still don't get that spade thing,'' Rafael said.
''Well, it's freaking Marilyn Manson. It's hard to understand his songs,'' Blu explained.
''Who's Marilyn Manson?'' Samuel asked.
''Just some guy that mock's god and society.''
''Guy named Marilyn?'' Jewel wondered.
''No. Marilyn Manson is just pseudonym. His real name is some Brian.''
''Oh. Okay.''
''So Jewel, when it's your turn?'' Rafael asked.
''Probably after few songs.''
''What's the songs name?'' Blu asked
''I'm not telling you,'' Jewel chuckled. Blu was about to protest, but decided to leave it.
''Well, I'm going to have a drink,'' Rafael said.
''Come back soon. I think next song is about to start,'' Jewel said. Rafael nodded and walked towards the bar.
''Aunt Eva?'' Sarah called.
''Yes my dear?''
''When will mama and papa come back?''
''I don't know. But I hope soon enought. And I hope Rafael stay's away from alcohol,'' she mumbled last sentence.
''What? I didn't hear.''
Eva faced her.
Why won't you go play with others?'' she suggested. Sarah smiled and went to Eva's children. They were surprisingly calm today, or perhaps they just feared their mother. Mary was sitting alone few feet away from others.
''Why isn't Mary playing?'' José asked from Yuri.
''She's just pretty shy,'' Yuri explained. José stared Mary.
''Perhaps I can cheer her up little.''
''Good luck with that,'' Yuri laughed.
If anyone is interested about the song, it's
''Spade'' by ''Marilyn Manson''
