Yay! I finish this one really quickly! But if didn't have time to post it until now. And like a promised, there is music and I know, it's kind of bland and stuff, but it's really long so I hope that kind of makes up for it...
Shadow: then don't post it!
Me: Aw, you're scared for being embarrassed huh?
Shadow: no! It's just...
Me: ya, ya, save it for later. I have no time for your girly needs
Shadow: what do you mean by girly? You're...
Me: you dare say it I'll kill you off!
Shadow: (hides)
Me: sorry for the rude interruption, anyway these songs aren't mine, they own to their owners but too lazy to say them, so ya... Enjoy!
(Normal POV)
"Are you actually serious?" Artemis was the first to regain her composure. She crossed her arms secretly fearing what's to come.
"Yes of course!" M'gann answered cheerily, " and to make it more fun, we'll draw straws for who's going to sing. Longest will go first." She brought in some straws and everyone took one.
The list started with Robin, followed by Conner, Kaldur, Zatanna, Artemis, M'gann, Wally and Shadow. "Ha ha, Robin you have to go first!" Wally laughed whole heartily.
"Oh shut it Kid Crash, I can sing better then you, so you shouldn't be laughing." He picked up the mic, "So what do I sing?"
"There's a random song pick. All you have to say what voice range you can do." Zatanna read from the case, "Oh why don't everyone do that? It'll be fun!"
"Great idea Zatanna." Robin agreed a bit too happily which got a soft cough from Shadow, a smirk from Kaldur, a sort from Wally and a soft chuckle from Artemis. Robin glared at them but they stayed quiet.
They all sat in the living room, Artemis and Wally on the love seat where Wally had his arm just behind her shoulder but wasn't touching her. M'gann was sitting on Conner's lap as they sat on the arm chair. Shadow, Kaldur and Zatanna all sat on the big couch sitting in the order, while Robin was standing on a makeshift stage, "Do I really have to sing up here?"
Shadow laughed at him, "Aw, don't tell me you're scared of singing in front of your friends. Give it your best." A hint if sarcasm could be found.
He glared back at her, "Why don't you give me an example on how to perform. I'm sure a musician such as yourself could give me a few pointers."
She shot him a warning glare, "Why should I? You were raised in a circus, you should be use to performing on front of a crowd." the team looked back and forth not knowing the connecting it has; "Besides it isn't my turn right now." She smiled innocently and Robin gave up.
He selected the random song and just before the song played the title showed itself reading "Beautiful Soul" which got a lot of laughs. Robin started to blush when he sang the first verse.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Yeah
You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon let's try
Then the chorus played and he kept turning back to Zatanna and by the second verse started he started to move around.
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Maybe do you think you could want me too?
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
The song got a more edgy sound and he jumped off the stage and pointed to the girl of his dreams. Then the final part played and he got back up and would either point to his heart or Zatanna.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your soul
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Ooooooo
Beautiful Soul, yeah
Oooooo, yeah
Your beautiful soul
Yeah
Finally the song ended and everyone was dead silent. "Has anyone told you that you sound exactly like Jessie McCartney?" M'gann said still shocked.
"There's no way Robin sounds like that!" Wally defended his friend.
"He kind of does." Artemis broke in.
"Does it really matter?" Robin asked, "Here Conner, it's your turn." he handed the kriptonian the mic and sat down between Kaldur and Zatanna, making everyone squishes together. They all slightly blushed at the new close contact with the opposite sex, but it soon disappeared as they all got comfortable.
Conner was on the stage and selected the random song. The title was "Gotta be Somebody" and everyone but Shadow felt a pang of happiness when he started to sing.
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There has gotta be somebody for me, oh
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Throughout the whole song he kept staring at M'gann and had a huge smile on his face. There were no words exchanged but clapping, as Conner handed Kaldur the mic. His song was "Someone that you're with" and instantly he thought of Tula and Garth. He hadn't told the team about his heart ache, so no one knew what he was going through throughout the first half of the song.
I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night,
and I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall,
to ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place
Because somewhere
the one I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
I wanna be that someone
that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God I wanna be that
someone that you're with
Well I hear your favorite songs
you sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that
I don't need for conversation sake
Last night I heard your key,
it hit your lock at 4 AM
Instead of being out with me
you must be out with them
Then he turned and met up with a pair of rust colored eyes and soon his loneliness disappeared. He turned away, but he could still feel her gaze on him and he thought back to that night with the mysterious girl.
Because somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
I wanna be that
someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
Well somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I've got to be that
someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
The song was over, but he was lost in thought. Could his feelings have changed and he's forming feelings for two different girls? Or has he finally lost it?
The team clapped and Zatanna got up on stage, but no one clapped as much as Robin. She took a breath and clicked the random bottom. She got "Call me Maybe" and everyone started to tease the poor bird, but then went silent when she started to sing.
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
and now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish,
pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
but now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Zatanna was slightly blushing as she looked at her big crush and he responded the same way. There were soft chuckles and slight whispers that would have gotten them killed.
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
M'gann started to have a secret conversation between the girls, minus Zatanna, in their minds, "Why don't they just start going out? It's just too obvious."
"It's because of her overprotective father." Artemis answered, "I feel so sad for her."
"Things will work out for the better." Shadow reassured, "I've only known Robin for a while, but he can be stubborn when he wants to."
M'gann laughed, "You're right! And then everyone would have their match!"
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
but still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Zatanna started to dance and the conversation was still going on, "M'gann, what do you mean about everyone having a match?" Artemis asked in an uncertain tone.
"Well, there's Zatanna and Robin, then there's me and Conner, you and Wally, and Shadow and Kaldur." Shadow suddenly laughed out loud and everyone turned to her.
She sunk into the couch before thinking, "There's no way me and Kaldur are a couple. I agree with you and Wally, Artemis, but I know that there's nothing between me and Kaldur."
They both shot her a look before she ended the conversation with them and just went to listening to the last bit of the song.
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?
They all clapped and Artemis got on stage. Her song was "Smile" and Shadow again was the only one that laughed. They all looked at her like she was crazy but she just smiled and said, "You'll know when you hear this song." and an evil grin grew on her face which got Artemis really scared.
Me: now swear you'll never do that again!
Shadow: I swear!
Me: good... Oh! It's the end of the chapter...haha
Shadow: that's all you have to say?
Me: hey you're to blame
Shadow: not really you got lazy and left it as a cliffhanger
Me: well sorry for wanting to make it interesting. (turns to readers) I still need a song for Shadow, I like the songs I got from requests, but I think a bigger list could give more variety. Sorry for asking too much
Shadow: you apologize too much
Me: shut up, I'm sorry for being raised this way
Shadow: whatever, just review and see you next time
Me: bye-bye!
Shadow: are you high?
