Disclaimer: If I owned Mai-Hime or Mai-Otome then my parents and older brother wouldn't always tell me to get a job, but since they do I guess I don't own it, huh.
A/N: Hmm, I've been at this karaoke thingie for three chapters already so this or the next chapter will probably the last ones.
Chapter 7: Irish ex-girlfriends.
"Woohoo! That was great you two!" Midori shouted during the standing ovation. "Well, I think that we're going to have only one more duet and I'm not leaving that one up to fate so if Nao and Natsuki would please get ready."
This was met with the two of them protesting at the top of their voices.
"Oh, and Nao, wear a blonde wig will ya? It'll make it all a bit more realistic!" Midor I yelled after them as they dissapeared behind the curtain. "Ah yes, there will be parts where we'll have to sing so here are the sheets with the lyrics. And don't tell them anything yet!"
"Isn't this somewhat mean Midori? You know they don't like karaoke." Youko asked as she looked the lyrics over.
"Umm," Alyssa interrupted softly, "Natsuki-nee doesn't hate karaoke. She just doesn't like singing for people she doesn't know or doesn't like all that much."
"There could be some merit in what you're saying, after all before she left there was always someone she didn't like with us." Midori mused. "Ah well it doesn't matter right now, after all we now know her true abilities and won't let hide them any more! Now lets just put this song in the computer."
When the two finally came from behind the curtain they were ironically enough wearing the correct colours of their respective roles.
"Now, that you're finally fully done I present to you the song you'll be singing. What's this feeling from the musical Wicked!" Midori shouted excitedly. "Nao-chan you'll be Galinda and Nat-chan you'll be Elphaba and we'll play the concerned students." She said gesturing at the rest.
Nao had gone completely white and Natsuki had to hold in her laughing but was as successful as Midori is at staying sober. But soon enough they were on the podium and Mai had started the machine.
Nao:
(spoken) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle:
Natsuki:
(spoken) My dear Father:
BOTH:
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:
Natsuki:
But of course, I'll care for Nessa:
Nao:
But of course, I'll rise above it:
BOTH:
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
(Spoken:) Yes
There's been some confusion
For you see, my roommate is:
Nao:
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:
Natsuki:
Blonde.
Nao:
What is this feeling,
So sudden and new?
Natsuki:
I felt the moment
I laid eyes on you;
Nao:
My pulse is rushing;
Natsuki:
My head is reeling;
Nao:
My face is flushing;
BOTH:
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes! Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
Nao:
For your face;
Natsuki:
Your voice;
Nao:
Your clothing;
BOTH:
Let's just say - I loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure, so strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!
STUDENTS:
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you're a martyr!
Nao:
Well; these things are sent to try us!
STUDENTS:
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your;
BOTH:
What is this feeling
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
Oh, what is this feeling?
Does it have a name?
Yes
Ahhh
STUDENTS (BACKGROUND):
Loathing
Unadultereated loathing
For her face, her voice, her clothing
let's just say - we loathe it all
ev'ry little trait however small
makes our very flesh being to crawl
AHHH!
ALL:
Loathing!
STUDENTS:

BOTH:
There's a strange exhilaration
STUDENTS:

In such total detestation
STUDENTS:

BOTH:

Truly deeply loathing you
STUDENTS:

My whole Life long!
STUDENTS:

Natsuki:
Boo!
Nao:
AH!
"I need a drink." Nao said defeated, taking of the wig.
"Ah, come on 'Galinda' it wasn't that bad now was it? You should just rise above it." Natsuki said with smirk
"Okay, make that several drinks." she reiterated with a sigh.
Two hours and a lot of alcohol later.
"Shi-chan, it's your turn!" Midori yelled waving her sake bottle excitedly.
Shizuru, who had actually been drinking quite a bit due to strange thoughts about her best friend, was going to show them "Alright, I'm gonna show y'all how it's really done!" this got her some weird looks from the ones who were still some what sober but cheers from the ones who were as far gone as she was.
She quickly set up the song she wanted to sing and jumped onto the stage.
Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright, now let me hear you say hey hey ho
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door
Even though I told him yesterday and the day before
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab
And I have to pull my money out and that looks bad
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Alright Alright yeah
I hate it when a guy doesn't understand
Why a certain time of month I don't want to hold his hand
I hate it when they go out and we stay in
And they come home smelling like their ex-girlfriend
But I found my hopes I found my dreams
My Cinderella story scene
Now everybody's gonna see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Give me an A, always give me what I want
Give me a V, be very very good to me
R, are you gonna treat me right?
I, I can put up a fight
Give me an L, let me hear you scream loud
One two three four
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright, now let me hear you say hey hey ho
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen.
This was met with a great round of cheers and some mouths hanging open in astonishment. "Whoa," Natsuki mumbled, her eyes wide, "that she can still read those lyrics as drunken as she is."
"Woohoo! You go Shi-chan!" Midori yelled. "Now as the final song of tonight, Nat-chan you choose what ever you like."
"Fine, Fine," Natsuki said with a sigh and she put her beer on the table. "This is gonna be a song from a band that I learned to love by an ex-girlfriend of mine, so I'll dez-dedicate this to her! Mary O'Shehan this is for you! The Dubliners with protect and survive."
Suddenly a guitar began to play and Natsuki began.
Don't get married girls
You'll sign away your life
You may start off as a woman
But you'll end up as the wife
You could be a vestal virgin
Take the veil and be a nun
But don't get married girls
For marriage isn't fun
Oh it's fine when you're romancing
And he plays the lover's part
You're the roses in his garden
You're the flame that warms his heart
And his love will last forever
And he'll promise you the moon
But just wait until you're wedded
Then he'll sing a different tune
You're his tapioca pudding
You're the dumplings in his stew
But he'll soon begin to wonder
What he ever saw in you
Still he takes without complaining
All the dishes you provide
For you see he's got to have
His bit of jam tart on the side
So don't get married girls
It's very badly paid
You may start off as the mistress
But you'll end up as the maid
Be a daring deep sea diver
Be a polished polyglot
But don't get married girls
For marriage is a plot
Have you seen him in the morning
With a face that looks like death
With dandruff on his pillow
And tobacco on his breath
And he needs some reassurance
With his cup of tea in bed
For he's worried by the mortgage
And the bald patch on his head
And he's sure that you're his mother
Lays his head upon your breast
So you try to boost his ego
Iron his shirt and warm his vest
Then you get him off to work
The mighty hunter is restored
And he leaves you there with nothing
But the dreams you can't afford
So don't get married girls
Men are all the same
They just use you when you need you
You'd do better on the game
Be a call girl, be a stripper
Be a hostess, be a whore
But don't get married girls
For marriage is a bore
When he comes home in the morning
He can hardly spare a look
All he says is "What's for dinner?"
After all you're just the cook
But when he takes you to a party
Well he eyes you with a frown
For you know you've got to look your best
You mustn't let him down
All he'll clutch you with that
"Look what I've got" twinkle in his eyes
Like he's entered for a raffle
And he's won you for the prize
Oh but when the party's over
You'll be slogging through the sludge
Half the time a decoration
And the other half a drudge
So don't get married
It'll drive you round the bend
It's the lane without a turning
It's the end without an end
Take a lover every Friday
Take up tennis, be a nurse
But don't get married girls
For marriage is a curse
Then you get him off to work
The mighty hunter is restored
And he leaves you there with nothing
But the dreams you can't afford
During the introduction of this song
'What did she just say?' Shizuru thought, suddenly completely sober. 'My Natsuki was with someone else! How dare they to touch what's mine!' okay so maybe not that sober. 'Wait, what am thinking? Natsuki isn't mine and never has been. But I wish she was. Whoa where did that one come from.' By now she was looking suspiciously at her drink. 'What was in this stuff?'
"Oi, Fujino, the dirty thoughts you're having about the Mutt have nothing to do with that drink of yours, you know." Nao said, shocking her out of her stupor.
Just as she began to retort she heard from the other side a piece of Alyssa and Miyu's conversation: "Miyu, could it be that Nee-chan still isn't over her?"
"No, Alyssa-sama, she is just sad about the way it had to end." Miyu said with a sad sigh.
"You mean with the..." Alyssa trailed off with a sad look on her youthful face.
"Yes, Alyssa-sama, because of that." Miyu nodded.

Whoo finally that's done. These were the songs used:
What's this feeling from the musical 'Wicked'
The best damn thing by Avril Lavigne
Don't get married by The Dubliners
I know that it was once again a long time but I have an excuse this time! You see, when I was camping with my family for a festival I tripped over one of those lines that hold up a tent, well that just wasn't a good thing for my back. I could only walk with a walking stick and I hadn't been able to sleep in three nights! That was about two weeks ago and now it still hurts! So you can see that I hadn't been able to concentrate before, and that this one doesn't really have much dialogue.
OMAKE
(This was a song I wanted to use as well but then Natsuki would have been singing to much.)
Natsuki: Ahem, I would like to dedicate this song to my old pal Nao, Nao this is for you, namely how I so-so-sometimes feel about you.*Smiles sweetly if somewhat drunk*
Nao: Wow, that's actually kind of sweet, scary...
Natsuki: *begins music*
I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck
I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck
I hate the way you look
(You make me sick)
I hate the way you talk
(I wanna punch you in the face)
I can't stand you at all
(You drive me insane)
Why won't you go away?
I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck
This is your song
Congratulations
You're the inspiration
I hate you so much
That I wrote this song
Congratulations
You're immortalized
I hate so much
I hope you fuckin' die
Nao: Now that's Mutt that I know and hate!
I know I know not really funny but I was actually supposed to be in the story itself so you can also see it as a deleted scene! Well I hope you'll like it and if not well to bad!
