" This is Caritas." Cordelia Said to Emma as the group came walking into the Karaoke bar.
" oh my god" Emma said under her breath looking around the place.
" Why are we at a demon Karaoke bar?" Charlie asked leaning into Angel.
" The host can read people when they sing, We hope he can confirm whats going on with you're daughter." Angel pointed over to Lorne who was sitting at the bar drinking a sea breeze.
" huh, weird." Charlie said looking around the bar.
" Don't tell me, you are going to brace us with you're stage presence." Lorne said to Angel as he walked over to the group, after he noticed them in the bar.
" NO." Wesley and Gunn shouted.
" Oh god no" Cordelia replied.
" What's wrong with my singing?" Angel sounded a little hurt.
" We are here, because Emma needs to be read." Cordelia showed her to Lorne
Emma stood there a few feet away from the others, with her arms folded as she looked Lorne's red suit up and down. She then looked up at him and raised a brow.
" Come on over I don't bite." Lorne smiled kindly at her.
Emma refused at first and stood there watching the stage. Normally Emma was very kind and nice to be around, but her nerves were at end, to her this day was turning into suck ville and she just wanted to go home.
" Fine."Emma rolled her eyes and walked over to her dads side.
" So you're names Emma, that's a nice name." Lorne said to her, He was trying to make her feel a little more comfortable.
" Would you be willing to sing for me?" Lorne asked politely.
" I don't know...sure." Emma sounded a little nervous, speaking or doing any thing in public was kind of frightening to her.
Everyone looked over at each other starting to relax, this was going much smoother then they planned.
" Great ! Pick a song and hop up on the stage and show us what you got kiddo." Lorne happily motioned for Emma to hop up on the stage.
" No freaking way, am I going up there !" Emma said sternly.
So Emma was forced up on the stage by Charlie, but she didn't have to pick a song, She already knew the song she was going to sing.
Emma sat down on the stool that was sitting on the stage and blankly looked out into the audience.
" um..h-hi, I'm Emma.." She gulped as she tried to focus.
" I think she's nervous." Wesley leaned over to Gunn.
" No kidding?" Gunn just looked at Wesley then back at the stage.
Wesley slowly leaned away from Gunn and watched Emma once again.
" I-I-I'm going to be singing, Somewhere over the rainbow" Emma forcefully stuttered her way through that sentence. Emma sighed heavily, trying to prepare herself to sing.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Everyone was actually surprised, besides being nervous she was pretty good.
Lorne shifted in his chair while he read her, he was starting to pick something up.
" What do you see?" Angel asked while he listened to Emma sing.
" It looks like she has a little crush on tall, dark, and handsome over there." He said jokingly to Gunn.
" What?" Gunn shifted in his chair with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
" What els do you see? " Angel asked, sounding impatient.
" Hold you're horses, I'm getting there." Lorne told him, while he continued to listen to Emma.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Emma slowly put the mic down, she looked like she was going to vomit right then and there,
" Judy Garland over there, she's you're prophecy girl." Lorne looked over at Emma then back at the group again.
" But.." Lorne spoke with warning in his voice.
" There's always a but." Gunn chimed in.
" This isn't going to be a walk through the park, there are force's at work here that no one knows that much about." Lorne glanced around with his red eyes.
" There are going to be very dark times ahead, very dark." Lorne paused, as he noticed Emma standing there listening to everything he just said.
" Are you ok ?" Charlie asked, gently placing his hand on his daughters shoulder.
The look on Emma's face was a mix of sadness, from what she just heard, and the I'm going to vomit look, which was from her stage fright.
" Never been better." Emma said trying to sound chipper.
Emma looked at the ground for a moment, then threw up all over Lorne's shoe.
" Now I never felt better." Emma said after vomiting.
Angel,Cordelia,Wesley, and Gunn leaned over to look at Emma after she threw up. Then all four of them looked over at each other disgusted.
" Eh, I think I need to take her home." Charlie looked over at Lorne.
" It was nice meeting you." Charlie said to him, then took Emma by the arm to help her walk.
Then the other four fallowed behind with a mesh of goodbye's and it was nice to see you, so they could avoid having to be around the vomit any more.
" Wait!" Lorne shouted then looked down at his shoes.
" ick.." Lorne looked up to see them leave..
