"If you hold me in your arms, we can brave this storm together." Wolf crooned as he swayed with Miller in his arms. The teams and some of Danny's nearest and dearest were at a Karaoke bar celebrating Danny's retirement.
So far, nearly every song was dedicated to Danny. Thankfully the song Wolf and Miller were singing was apparently a song for both Danny and Kara. To represent their love and the future of their marriage. Danny wasn't sure if he should be touched or horrified, but he'd been in that quagmire all evening.
"You only have to hold me, Touch me to make me feel so good. You only have to hold me, Feel me. To make me feel the way you know I should." The two sang together even though the song was not a duet. They finished the song and everyone applauded and cheered them on. The men gave the microphones to the MC.
"Thank you, and next up we have Sasha with another dedication to Danny Green. Popular guy." the MC said, everyone clapped and Ravit wolf whistled as Sasha came onto the stage. She took the mike and Danny half expected 'Oh Danny boy' to start playing and how he wished that when 'Never been to me- Charlene' came up on the screen. The music started, Sasha put on a dramatic expression.
"Hey Danny, you Danny, cursing at your life. You're a discontented father and a regimented wife. I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do. But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you." Sasha sang sincerely as if they were in a musical having a conversation. Danny knew she said 'Wife' on purpose as she could have easily said 'Husband'.
"Oh my god." Danny said as he covered his face and sank down in his chair as the crowd laughed and cheered. Others started to join in as they knew the lyrics while Sasha changed 'Lady' to 'Danny'. She had a pretty decent singing voice. People were loving it, Danny was wondering how long a song could be. Kara laughed as she tried to pull him up as Sasha came down from the stage to sing to him.
"Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we created about people and places as we like them to be but you know what truth is?" Sasha spoke as she clutched Danny's shoulder, "It's that little baby you're holding and it's that woman you fought with this morning. The same one you are gonna make love to tonight. That's truth, that's love." Sasha told him, he gestured to Kara when he said 'woman'.
Danny felt like he was going to die from mortification while Kara was laughing so much she nearly fell out of her seat. He smiled in relief when the song ended and begrudgingly clapped Sasha's performance.
"Beautiful rendition even if the words were slightly altered. Now, we have Burk with another ballad for Danny. This guy gets around." MC said, the crowd laughed. He passed the microphone to Burk. The crowd cheered as he came onto the stage.
"Whose idea was it to have a Karaoke retirement party?" Danny asked Kara, as Burk was serenading him with Celine Dion's song 'Think Twice' from the stage. Every 'Baby' was changed to 'Danny'. Others from the team were getting up on the stage to join him.
"But Danny, this is serious," Burk sang.
"This is serious." Tex, Cruz, Wolf and Miller sang as back ups to Burk.
"Are you thinking 'bout you or us, Danny?! Don't say what you're about to say. Look back before you leave our lives. Be sure before you close that door before you roll those dice. Danny, think twice!" The group sang together dramatically as they were way too into the song and making fun of Danny.
"It was a group decision, for the record I was outvoted. But I am enjoying this immensely." Kara said, she leaned into his arm and smiled at least she was having a good time. He'd suffer through anything for Kara to smile and laugh.
