Lyn walked -- okay, kind of stormed -- up onstage. The karaoke screen lit up again and read:
"WHILE YOU LOVED ME
BY SOMEBODY
... I MEAN,
WHO REALLY CARES ANYMORE?"
Lyn glared and kicked it, and it switched to reading:
"FINE!
WHILE YOU LOVED ME
BY
RASCAL FLATTS"
"Thank you," Lyn said, rolling her eyes. There was a moment's pause, and then the screen read:
"YOU'RE WELCOME"
Lyn blinked and then looked over at everyone else with an almost frightened expression.
"THE SCREEN.. TV.. THING IS ALIVE!" Reneey yelled, running in circles. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"It has a microchip with inherent personality," Seto said in a this-is-obvious voice, rolling his eyes.
Reneey blinked. "Riiight... RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Probably nobody had noticed that the music had started, but it had, and so Lyn started to sing:
If I ever write
Reneey blinked. "Ever write? 'Cause all that paper stacked up in your closet was written by an invader?"
The story of my life
"Oh, like an.. auto.. thing?" Reneey asked.
"Autobiography?" Joey asked, blinking.
"Yeah, what he said!"
Seto gaped. "The mutt.. knows.. a six.. syllable.. word!?"
"Shut up, rich boy!" Joey growled.
"Oh, fuck off and mind ya own business!" Reneey snapped at Seto. "Can you get those four measly words inside ya head!?"
Hey, she's drunk, so she can blame it on her drunkness as a defense when Lyn goes all psycho on her later!
Seto started to say something, but then Lyn caught his gaze as she continued to sing:
Don't be surprised
If
you're where it begins
"That means?" Tristan asked.
Reneey shrugged. "It's by Rascal Flatts, but I've never heard this song, so..."
Oh, I'd have to dedicate
Every line on every page
To the memories we made
While you loved me
"Ohhh! This is a love song for Seta!"
Normally, Seto would blow up at Reneey, but at the moment he was staring at Lyn and blinking. She was singing a song for him? ... But why was it past tense...?
I was born the day you kissed me
"WHAT!? KAIBA, YOU DARE TO KISS MY DAUGHTER!? YOU BETTER BACK OFF RIGHT NOW, YOU (BEEP! ... Yeah, Atem is too OOC for this story, so that's why we cut out the curse...)!"
And I died inside the night you left me
"KAIBA, YOU BETTER RUN! YOU HURT MY DAUGHTER, NOW GET OUT BEFORE I (beep beep beep beep beep A/N: Lyn: Yeah, somebody's been watching to much of the Abridged Series...)!"
Everybody stared at him. Even Lyn paused with her singing to blink at her dad. And Seto was blinking, too, completely confused and uncertain if he had heard Lyn's words properly. Finally, Lyn went back to singing:
But I lived
Oh, how I lived
While you loved me
But I always loved her.. and I will always love her, Seto thought confusedly. Does she think I don't!?
I'd start with chapter one
"Chapter one of Kill Bill Volume one!" Reneey screamed as she span around. "I like Kill Bill..."
"Who's Bill?" Malik suddenly demanded.
"It's a movie, you must see it! It has blood, and gore, and an old man who's racist, and halfbreeds, and --"
Reneey kept on counting on and on, and then Marik asked, "What movies do you watch?"
Love innocent and young
As the morning sun
On a new day
"Love and innocence! It's the best ever feeling! Like, the best, next to friendship!" Tea said with a drunk sort of giggle.
Reneey sweatdropped. "You are so lucky Lyn's up there onstage right now..."
Even though I know the end
"But it's not the end," Seto whispered, though no one heard him.
"Of course ya do, ya psychic!" Reneey giggled, taking full advantage of the time that Lyn was too preoccupied to whack her upside the head. And/or kill her. Whichever was easier or more fun, really.
I'd do it all again
"Wait.. do WHAT again!?" Atem demanded, wide-eyed. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER, KAIBA!?"
'Cause I got a lifetime in
While you loved me
"Big brother," Mokuba whimpered, looking up at his brother with teary eyes, "do you not love Lyn any more?"
"What!? No!" Seto objected. "Of course I love her! I always will!"
I was born the day you kissed me
"KAIBA! (Beep beeep beeep beep)!"
And I died inside the night you left me
"KAIBA! (peeb peeb peeb A/B: Yeah, "beep" is soo old, so I'm using "peeb"!)!"
But I lived
Oh, how I lived
While you loved me
"But I still love you, Lyn," Seto whispered. "Why are you doubting my love?"
I was born the day you kissed me
Everybody looked at Atem, waiting for him to blow up.
"My throat hurts," he complained.
"I hear ya," Reneey said, grinning. "After I'm through screaming, I lose my voie for a week!"
And I died inside the night you left me
Serenity suddenly sat straight up from where she had been laying, passed out, on top of a table. "LYN DIED!? OH MY GOSH! JOEY! LYN DIED!"
"LYN IS DEAD!?" Joey screeched.
"LYN'S DEAD!?" Tea repeated, and she started crying.
"YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL BAKAS!" Yugi yelled.
"DON'T EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" Atem and Seto objected at once, and then they looked at each other and scowled.
But I lived
Oh, how I lived
O-o-o-oh, I lived
"Lyn's alive! Yay!" Tea did a happy dance.
I was born the day you kissed me
(The day you kissed me, baby)
"Gahhh, the pet names again!" Atem moaned. "They burnnnnn!"
Tea suddenly got an idea. She went over to Yugi and kissed him! And Yugi, being drunk, kissed her back.
"Lyn, I will always kiss you and say I love you if you stay with me!" Seto whispered desperately. Was she going to leave him!? And what did he do wrong in the first place!?
And I died inside the night you left me
"Lyn di --"
"NO, SHE DIDN'T DIE, YOU INCREDIBLE BAKA!" Ryou yelled at Tea. "IT'S A PART OF SPEECH!"
But I lived
Oh, how I lived
O-o-o-oh, I lived
While you loved me
The music faded, and Seto growled, stepping onto the stage, grabbed Lyn, and kissed her fiercely. Immediately, Atem leapt forward and was held back by Joey and Tristan.
Seto finally broke off the kiss after a couple of minutes and whispered into her ear, "I'm sorry for whatever I did; but I love you, Lyn, and I will never, ever stop loving you."
Lyn blinked at him in surprise for a moment, and then she felt a smile spreading across her face. She hugged him tightly, suddenly feeling extraordinarially foolish. How could she have thought she had lost him over something so stupid? (A/N: -coughdrunknesscough-)
"I love you, too, Seto."
"Ooh, I go next!" Tea yelled as she hopped up onstage and grabbed the mic.
