Max and Tiberius walked over to the drawer and started looking through the CDs on which song they wanted to sing to next.

"Max, that's a lot of CDs in there." Tiberius said.

"I know, right?" Max replied. "Now all we have to do is pick out a song for us to sing to."

They searched through the CDs and a minute later, Tiberius came up with an idea.

"Hey, Max, how about you surprise me with a song?" the hawk suggested kindly.

"Are you sure about this?" Max asked as his eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course I am. I love surprises." Tiberius answered confidentially. "To be honest, I really think you should surprise me."

The dog stared at him for a moment and said, "Okay."

Max walked over to the karaoke machine and picked up the microphone.

"I thought you and Tiberius were going to pick a song together." Gidget said to her boyfriend.

"We were until I decided that I'm going to let him surprise me." said Max.

"My guess is that you guys are going to sing 'Uptown Funk'." Duke stated.

"Who knows? It could be anything." Max said as he pointed out.

"Alright, Max, I chose the song that we're going to sing." Tiberius announced as he flew over to Max with the CD in his foot-hand. "I also hope you like the surprise."

"Oh, I bet I will!" Max exclaimed gleefully. "In fact, I believe it'll be fantastic!"

The hawk took the CD out of the case, inserted the one he chose into the machine and just as he pushed the play button, a song started to play as picked up the microphone.

"This song is amazing! I like it so much!" Max cried excitedly.

"Glad to hear that." Tiberius said proudly. "Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be!"

"You put the boom-boom into my heart, you send my soul sky high when your loving starts." Max sung. "Jitterbug into my brain goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same, but something's bugging you.

"Something ain't right, my best friend told me what you did last night. Left me sleepin' in my bed." Tiberius sung."I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead."

"Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo!" they sang in unison. "Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss it when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go 'cause I'm not plannin' on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, take me dancing tonight.
I wanna hit that high!"

"That's a really nice song." Duke said to Chloe, who nodded.

"You take the grey skies out of my way, you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day, turned a bright spark into a flame." Max sung."My beats per minute never been the same."

"'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool." Tiberius sung."It makes me crazy when you act so cruel. Come on, baby, let's not fight. We'll go dancing, everything will be all right."

"Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo!" they sang loudly. "Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss it when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go 'cause I'm not plannin' on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, take me dancing tonight.
I wanna hit that high!"

Duke, Paps, Chloe and Snowball started to hum along to the song.

"You know, Tiberius, I enjoy singing this song with you." Max said happily.

"Thanks, pal." Tiberius complimented before he sung, "Cuddle up, baby, move in tight. We'll go dancing tomorrow night."

"It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed." The Jack Russell Terrier sang. "They can dance, we'll stay home instead."

"Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo!" they sang. "Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss it when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go 'cause I'm not plannin' on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, take me dancing tonight. Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging like a yo-yo! Take me dancing!"

The pets whistled and applauded at the same time.

"Wow! You guys were great!" Gidget cheered.

"Love your singing, bro!" Duke said happily.

"No problem, Duke." Max replied, smiling. Then he ejected the CD and placed it back into the case.

*panting* Whew! Working on this creative story is harder than I thought. But don't mind because that's my goal. So, we're all done with chapter 14 and the duet song that Max and Tiberius sang was "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! This is in memory of George Michael who passed away last Christmas. Next in chapter 15, Max and Snowball will be singing a song from John Legend. Please review this chapter. Thanks and see you later, alligator!

R.I.P. George Michael (June25, 1963 - December 25, 2016)
