A/N I had this idea pop into my head while I was showering and thought Lara singing at her wedding would be amazing but it would be awesome if we were all present when she realised she had the ability.

"I still don't know what I'm doing here," Lara complained as Mokuba held open the door for them both to enter.

"Just having a little fun. Lara, you've been in Domino over a year and you still haven't done this. It's a crime," he teased.

She rolled her eyes at him but entered the brightly lit building. He led her past the bustling bar to a room at the back. As he opened the door she saw all their friends seated in a small room with a red, U-shaped couch fixed against the walls, and in the center stood a square dark wood table with all manner of drinks placed upon it. There was a screen on the wall above the couch and the entire room was lit dimly casting a cozy spell over the entire space.

"Hey guys!" Lara greeted.

There was a chorused greeting from the others as the two of them sat at the end with Mokuba nestled between Rebecca and Lara.

"So Mokuba finally convinced you to join us for karaoke." Tristan smiled.

"Yes and no. I will most definitely not be singing but I'm keen to see you guys go," she said as she shrugged off her jacket.

"No way Lara! You have to do a song too," Serenity said excitedly.

"Yeah, Serenity is right. Ya gotta," Joey added.

"You could say it's a rite of passage." Tea grinned.

"Geez you guys are so pushy! Are all of you going to sing?" she asked with raised eyebrows. There was an answer of "Yes" and a couple "No" in unison.

"I heard those 'noes'. If Yugi and Duke don't have to sing then I don't either," Lara argued.

"Nice try, not working." Duke smirked.

Lara turned to Mokuba with an incredulous expression. "How is it I can get anyone to do anything at the office but I can't get these guys to listen?"

"We don't pay them," he retorted.

"Unfortunately." She pouted.

They rested back against soft velvet cushions and waited for their waiter to arrive while Serenity and Tea switched on the screen and picked up the microphones. They were keen to start the fun.

They were busy selecting their song when the waiter arrived to deposit the snacks on the table before leaving with Mokuba and Lara's drinks orders. The girls finally made their choice but they waited until everyone had a drink or their glasses were topped up.

Lara watched eagerly. The words danced along the screen as the music filtered through the room and both Tea and Serenity began singing their song together.

They were entertaining and energetic. Lara glanced at Yugi who was lost in the sight. A gentle smile on his face, his eyes shining with pride as he watched Tea. Their love was so obvious. It made Lara smile.

When the song came to an end everyone clapped with whoops coming from Joey and a whistle from Duke.

"You two are really good," Lara complimented.

"Thanks. Are you going next?" Tea asked as she fanned herself with her hand.

"Definitely not." Lara shook her head with crossed arms.

"I'll go," Mai said haughtily. She sashayed her way to the front and made her selection while Lara dropped her shot glass filled with dark alcohol into the highball tumbler that held an amber energy drink. It fizzed violently and she took a satisfying glug.

She watched Mai begin her performance and leaned in to Mokuba.

"Is she good?" Lara whispered without taking her eyes of the blonde.

"Very," he replied. He stirred his soda and bitters watching with a grin as he held Rebecca against his side.

Their friends continued to enjoy themselves, some taking second turns or going up in different combinations. Lara was happy for it. She thought it would be easy enough for her to not perform. Little did she know the others had other plans.

"Your turn Lara," Duke said with an evil chuckle.

"Absolutely not."

"Oh come on! Everyone else did it," Rebecca urged her.

"Beck, I've never done karaoke. Heck, I've never even sang in my life." She shook her head.

"Not even in your car?" Tristan asked with raised eyebrows.

"That's different," Lara whined.

"What if one of us does it with you?" Tea offered.

Lara sighed audibly. There was no winning this. She hung her head and the rest of them knew that they had won.

Mokuba placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll go with you."

"Fine." Lara tossed back a shot of jagermeister and slammed the glass down on the table before shuffling out with Mokuba close behind her. With a little liquid courage running through her veins, she picked up the microphone while Mokuba looked through the song list.

Lara knew of most of the tracks but would probably not be able to sing the entire thing until her eyes landed on one.

"That one."

"Are you sure?" Mokuba asked. "It's not the easiest song to sing."

"But at least I know all the words. Besides, I have a good buzz going and I'm hoping not to remember this tomorrow morning."

"Oh please! You never get that drunk." Mokuba laughed. Lara just shrugged and the others thought to give her a bit of advice before a lyric escaped her lips.

"Take a deep breath and sing from here." Serenity placed her hand over her diaphragm.

"Yeah and sing clearly into the mic. The letters will colour according to the beat of the song," Mai added.

"Just have fun. It's only us." Tea waved her hand dismissively. Yugi just gave her a sympathetic smile.

The first few notes played out and the lyrics appeared on the screen. Mokuba took a deep breath and began singing. Lara stared at his face in amazement. He sounded really good.

I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did

You last let your heart decide?

Lara looked between the words and Mokuba's face. He was clearly enjoying himself and she wondered how often he did karaoke.

She waited patiently for the moment she would have to join in and tried to remember everything the others said but as soon as she opened her mouth, she forgot most of it. What she remembered, was childhood memories.

She tuned everyone out and sang the bright words on the wall. Her voice surprising everyone, including herself.

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But now from way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

She smiled at Mokuba who had a wide-eyed expression on his face. He had anticipated something hilariously bad, fodder to tease her the next day, but that would definitely not have happened. Sure she was shaky initially, but that disappeared rather quickly.

Yugi smiled to himself, he was happy to see his friend let go and after being so reluctant, enjoy herself. He saw the same look of shock present on the faces of all his friends except his.

Mokuba held Lara's hand as the two of them sang through the rest of their duet.

The music finally faded away and he took both microphones and placed it on the table.

"What was that?!" he asked.

"What was what?"

"That!" He pointed at the screen. "You're a great singer, why did you not tell me?"

"I didn't know," she said as they took their seats. She poured some water into a glass from the pitcher on the table drinking thirstily.

"How do you know that song so well?" Rebecca asked.

"Beck, I have a younger brother who loves fairytales." The manner in which she said this was as if it should explain everything but the others were still surprised.

"Could you guys please stop looking at me like I've grown a third head." She laughed. Taking pity on her, Duke asked Rebecca up so the two of them could have their turn together and take some of the attention away from Lara.

She watched them with her fingers tapping to the beat, entertained by their antics.

Mokuba leaned in, whispering in her ear. "You really were very good. Maybe you could surprise Seto at the wedding."

She laughed a delicate chime. "Maybe."
