Chapter Four

"Huh?" Logan stopped smiling.

"It's your turn." Beast repeated himself.

"I don't think so." Logan shook his head.

"Everyone has to sing, Logan. Let's go." Lance said.

"Shut up, kid!" Logan glared at Lance.

"I sang and now it's your turn to sing." Beast pushed Logan on the stage.

"I refuse to sing!" Logan yelled.

"Come on, Logan!" Kitty pleaded. "If you sing then--"

"I'll sing!" Tabitha shot out of her seat and smiled.

"Tabitha, sit down!" Scott rolled his eyes.

Tabitha glared at Scott and sat back down. "You know, if I don't get a chance to sing then I'm going to get pissed and no one likes it when I get pissed off, is that correct?"

Kitty ignored Tabitha and continued on with what she was saying.

Tabitha rolled her eyes. "I hate the world..."

"Logan, if you sing then Rogue will sing." Kitty finished her sentence.

"Wait a minute!" Rogue stood up. "How did I get into this?"

"I know that you and Logan both don't want to sing, so I thought that if you sung, Logan would sing." Kitty explained.

"I am not singing." Rogue glared at Kitty.

"Alright, you know what?" Logan yelled over everyone. He turned to Lance. "Turn on my freakin' song and everyone can listen to it. I am not going to sing it, though. Do you understand?"

"Yes." everyone replied.

"Good. You can put on the song now." Logan nodded to Lance.

Lance sighed and turned on the song.

The world is giving you the run-around
And leaves you feeling low and let down but
Happiness is

Wherever you find it
Im not waiting for a friend beside me
Or for the lord above to guide me
My happiness is

"What...The...Hell?" Logan asked.

Wherever I find it
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt so out of place
That the smile on your face
Was to keep from cryin
I dont know how we get so out of touch
But I dont want much
Just to find out
What happiness is

"It's called Happiness Is." Lance tried not to laugh.

"Very funny." Logan glared at him.

While everybody else is winning
Youre stuck waiting for your new beginning
So happiness is

Wherever you find it
You may be full of lifes frustrations
But Im up for negotiations
My happiness is

Wherever I find it
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt...
If you got your lucky break and broke it
I guess youve got your options open
But happiness is

"This certainly has been an odd day for everyone..." Professor X muttered to himself.

Wherever you find it...yeah
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt so out of place
That the smile on your face
Was to keep from cryin
I dont know how we get so out of touch
But I dont want much
Just to keep on tryin
People say a prayer every day
That they end up with more than their next door neighbor
Im not buying all their ego trips
But Ill get my kicks
When I find out
What happiness is

"There. Your free to go. Short and sweet." Lance smiled.

"Shut up." Logan sat back down.

"Who's next?" Tabitha was hoping that it would be her.

"Rogue." Logan replied.

"Dammit!" Tabitha banged her fists on her chair.

Rogue grabbed hold of her chair. "No way."

"Please, Rogue? You can just do the same thing that Logan did." Kitty begged.

"Fine. Just to get it over with, I'll do what Logan did," Rogue stood up on the stage. "But if you give me a stupid song like you did to Logan, then I'm out of here." Rogue glared at Lance.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Lance hit the play button.

Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song
You only move to keep from sinking
You close your eyes as if you're thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes you're so revealing
you'll find what you're needing

Rogue rolled her eyes. "Of course..." she muttered.

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
Well, baby, then I would be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Slip my heart in your back pocket
All I got to keep you warm
So baby don't leave me here without it
Tell me, how much for your love

"This isn't the type of song that Rogue would sing." Kitty whispered to Jean.

"I know. And she looks angry, so I'd stay away from her for the rest of the day. After all, your the one who get her into this." Jean replied.

"I can't. We still have duets to do." Kitty smiled at Jean.

"Duets?" Jean became worried.

Hoping the melody will leave you
You walk to where I might not see you
Reach out to the wind
Looking to catch it for a minute
But just to hold it not be in it
I've been where you've been
Cause some how I'm so afraid the love
Will reveal what you're made of

"I wanna go next so badly...If Rogue doesn't choose me to go next then I'll shoot myself!" Tabitha complained to Jubilee.

"Uh-huh..." Jubilee nodded without paying any attention to her.

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
Well, baby, then I would be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Slip my heart in your back pocket
All I got to keep you warm
So baby don't leave me here without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Cause somehow I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of

Rogue jumped off of the stage.

"At least you got throught the whole song..." Lance tried to be positive, but it didn't work out so well. "Anyway, Rogue, who do you want to be next?"

"Jubilee." Rogue answered without hesitation.

Jubilee walked on the stage and tried not to laugh at Tabitha's reaction when she wasn't picked to go next. "They're saving the best for last." Jubilee assured her before she made it to the stage.

"Oh, shut up!" Tabitha yelled.

Boy meets girl
You were my dream,my world
But i was blind
You cheated on me from behind
So on my own
I feel so all alone
Though I know it's true
I'm still in love with you

I need a miracle
I wanna be your girl
Give me a chance to see
That you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me
I need a miracle
I wanna be your girl
Give me a chance to see
That you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me
It can happen to me

"I want to go next!" Tabitha was screaming in her head.

"Will you calm down? Your gonna kill yourself." Scott watched Tabitha scurm around in her seat.

Day and night
I'm always by your side
Cause I know for sure
My love is real my feelings pure
So take a try
No need to ask me why
Cause I know it's true
I'm still in love with you

I need a miracle
I wanna be your girl
Give me a chance to see
That you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me
I need a miracle
I wanna be your girl
Give me a chance to see
That you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me
It can happen to me

I need a miracle...

Jubilee finished. "There you go, Tabitha. Now you can sing."

"FINALLY!" Tabitha jumped on the stage. "I'm all ready to go!" she smiled at Lance.

"On minute. I have to go to the bathroom." Lance was about to leave.

"WHAT?!" she glared at him.

Lance laughed. "Just kidding."

"TURN ON THE STUPID SONG!!!" she screamed.

Lance backed away. "Okay...I'm sorry..." he turned on the song as quickly as he could.

Sometimes I have dreams

I picture myself flying

Above the clouds

High in the sky

Conquering the world

With my, magic piano

Never being scared

But then I realize...

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

Magneto walked in randomly with Mystique and Sabertooth. "What are they doing?" he stared at Tabitha singing.

Seems like a dream

But there's one thing missing

Nobody's here

With me (here with me)

To share and know

That I've been given

I need someone

That's strong enough for me

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

"Maybe it's someone's birthday." Sabertooth thought.

Magneto and Mystique stared at him.

"Or not..." he added.

I need someone

I won't stop 'til I find the one

Who will stop the longing

In my life

I need someone

I won't stop 'til I find the one

Who will stop the longing

In my life...

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I am Supergirl

And I'm here to save the world

But I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

Tabitha finished the song and glared at Magneto. "Thanks for stopping by, but you need an admission to get in."

Professor X turned around. "Eric, what are you doing here?"

Logan sheathed his claws. "Don't ask questions, Professor. Just let us kick them out."

Magneto scratched his head. "We actually did come for a fight, but what are you doing?"

"We're having a karaoke night. Wanna join?" Kitty smiled.

"Kitty!" Jean glared at her.

"Seriously, why are kids so stupid these days?" Logan glared at Kitty as well as Jean and the rest of the X-Men that were in the room.

"Noo..." Mystique shook her head slowly at Kitty. "We want to fight."

"So you guys decided that you were bored and came down here for a fight just because?" Logan unsheathed his claws and tried to get the story straight.

"That's--" Magneto was nodding.

"How do we have a karaoke night?" Sabertooth asked Kitty.

"What is wrong with you?" Mystique hit Sabertooth on the side of the head.

Sabertooth was about to hit Mystique back but Magneto stepped in front of him. "We are not having a karaoke night with the X-Men, Sabertooth. Where did you get such an idea to agree with them?"

"It seemed like fun." Sabertooth shrugged.

"It is." Lance wanted to avoid a fight as much as Kitty did. "Watch me do it and then you can decide if you want to stay or if you want to leave. Deal?"

"Deal." Sabertooth sat down.

Mystique rolled her eyes. "Let's go, Eric."

Magneto stopped Mystique from leaving. "We can't change Sabertooth's mind and we certainly can't keep him here alone with the X-Men."

"I'm not staying here with him." Mystique knew what was coming.

"No, I'm going to stay too." Magneto sat down.

"You want to have this little karaoke night, don't you, Eric?" Mystique put her hands on her hips.

"Maybe," Magneto was ready for Lance to begin. "Carry on, Lance."

"Why are the women always following the men?" Mystique asked herself.

"Amen!" Jean and Storm turned around to face Lance on the stage and Lance begun.
