Chapter 9

This chapter is for Mrs. Bowie, Mrs. Dr. Who, Mrs. Fry, Mrs. Hansen-Boy and Mrs. Walken (I just don't get you sometimes Fiona, but that headless horseman did have a certain charm)

Mine grabbed Sharpay by the shoulders an dragged her into another room, Sharpay barely had time to protest before she emerged from the other room in a beautiful pink dress with ribbons and sparkles galore. And Mine looked thoroughly satisfied.

"Right." Said Sharpay she went up to Kelsi and gave her some sheet music,

"I can't find my version so, transpose!" she said

"Sharpay, who's singing with you?" asked Kelsi

"Transpose!" snapped Sharpay, making Kelsi jump into the action of transposing.

"Ayame! Here please!" Sharpay hollered across the room and Ayame skipped across the room and jumped on stage. Sharpay demanded Ayame to sing and he eagerly obeyed

"It's hard to believe, that I couldn't see" but instead of joining Ayame on the mic. Sharpay led Mine on stage and handed her the microphone.

"You were always right beside me

Thought I was alone, with no-one to hold

But you were always right beside me

This feelings like no other

I want you to know!

I've never had someone, that knows me like you do

The way you do" the costume makers pointed to each other, they were in some ways better than Ryan and Sharpay, but no-one would tell Sharpay that.

Hatori had fallen asleep, despite the massive amount of noise around him, this is what he dreamt:

Hatori was sitting down, pondering why he had to be the dragon and transform into a seahorse, what an embarrassing thing to turn into. (the curse wasn't broken in the dream) Suddenly, Yuki appeared in a puff of smoke, dressed in the costume he wore when his class did their rendition of Cinderella. Yuki waved his wand and said:

"When you next transform you shall turn into a dragon!" but nothing happened. Then Ayame appeared and said:

"Dear brother, remember the swish and flick! Haven't you ever seen Harry Potter? And that spell had no wow factor, here like this" Ayame swished and flicked Yukis wand and said:

"Transformus draco!"

"That was just what I said except vaguely Latin sounding!" shouted Yuki so he disappeared in a huff. Then a woman ran up and hugged Hatori, and he transformed into a mighty dragon, with great and powerful wings, breathing fire (safely of course). Hatori smiled in his sleep.

(This part is for my brother because one of his favourite hobbies is thinking of different names for Fruits basket, mainly to annoy me, so this one's for you Mark!)

"Oh! What's that game you were talking about, Fruit Badgers?" asked Troy

"Um, actually it's Fruits Basket" said Tohru

"Yeah, Vegetable Hamper" said Chad

"No, Fruits Basket" corrected Yuki

"Sausage Boxes, that sounds like an interesting game" said Zeke

"FRUITS BASKET, is a game small children often play" said Haru

"Apple Trunk, I wonder why it is called that" said Ryan thoughtfully

"No! Fruits Basket! Is that so hard?" said Hiro, trying to contain himself

"Yeah, Carrot Bowl is an unusual name for a game isn't it?" asked Kelsi

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT IS FRUITS BASKET!!!" Kyo yelled angrily

"Ok, just asking a question no need to get frustrated" said Troy, holding his hands up to calm Kyo down.

"So just to clear this up, the name of the game is Shoe Container" said Chad

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!" Kyo leapt in the air and went for Chad, but the other Sohma boys stopped him from causing serious bodily harm to their American friends and decided to go back to Karaoke.

Tohru was a little sad, she wanted to sing with Kyo, but she knew he didn't really like performing.

"Do you wanna sing?" asked Kyo, aware that she was not completely happy

"Oh, um, that is, I suppose, but , well, would you sing with me?" Kyo looked shocked

"Oh! No I wasn't trying to pressure you! It doesn't matter"

"Ok, what do you want to sing" Tohru brightened up instantly and then ran onto the stage, Kyo dragging his feet and looking at his shoes

"Don't go breaking my heart" Kyo was barely singing but he was at least trying

"I couldn't if I tried" Tohru was getting a bit nervous with everyone looking at her

"Oh honey when I get restless!" Shigure invaded the song

"Baby you're not that kind" Akito was shoved in the general direction of the microphone by Shigure

"Don't go breaking my heart" Haru decided to join in

"You take the weight off of me" Rin nervously sang, standing beside Haru

"Honey when I knock on your door" Aya jumped in not wanting to be left out

"Oh I gave you my key" joined Mine, at Ayames side as always.

"Nobody knows it" Kyo came back into the song, he was enthusiastic now, now it was like a challenge

"But when I was down" he continued

"I was your clown" Tohru continued

"Nobody knows it" Troy joined in, getting a look of pure hatred from Kyo (Kyo actually quite liked Troy, but he was caught up in the 'competition')

"Right from the start" Gabriella joined her singing partner

"I gave you my heart" Troy continued

"I gave you my heart" They sang together

"So don't go breaking my heart" Kisa was gently nudged onstage

"I won't go breaking your heart" Hiro reluctantly continued

"Don't go breaking my heart" sang Kisa, gaining more confidence

"Nobody told us" the prince of Kaibara High sang

"Cause nobody showed us" replied Machi

"So now it's up to us babe" Yuki received a few giggles when the formal Prince Charming said "babe"

"Oh I think we can make it" sang Machi, staring at Yuki

"So don't misunderstand me" Chad decided to sing at least once before he left Japan again

"You put the light in my life" Taylor sang looking fondly at her Wildcat

"You put the spark to the flame" Hatori woke up from his nap to be swiftly shoved onstage and being all disorientated from just waking up he sang along

"I've got your heart in my sights" Mayu just entered the karaoke bar to almost be thrown onstage by Shigure, who thought it very convenient that she entered just as Hatori woke up.

Next chapter is the last! I feel I have deteriated in quality in these past chapters, I'm quite paranoid you see and the reviews have been deminishing so if people are still reading, review please!
