[Season TBD]
...
After dinner both couples were helping clean up the mess, Tony and Laura chatting as they cleared the table while Devon and Claire were washing up the dishes.
"So you want to start watching some movies, or we could do board games.." Devon suggested aloud for the whole group to decide on.
"I think board games or any games really would be a bad idea for you Devon. You always lose to me." Claire teased with a wicked grin. Devon narrowed his eyes and smirked.
"Oh really? Because I seem to recall that there is one game that I have always won at." He shot back challengingly. Claire paused, the dishtowel limp in her hand as she stared back at him.
"Excuse me, you didn't always win…you always cheated so therefore I am the rightful winner of that game." She corrected sternly. Tony and Laura shared a silent glance, obviously neither having any idea what they were talking about.
"Wanna put that challenge to the test?" Devon inquired. Claire's eyes widened with intrigue.
"You didn't."
"It's all set up in the living room." Devon told her knowingly.
"Well then I hope you're ready to be disappointed big man, because your ass is about to be whooped." Claire declared before taking off towards the living room in determination, Devon following on her heels. Tony and Laura watched them go in confusion.
"Do you have any idea what this is about?" she asked him curiously. After all he had known the siblings for far longer than she had. Tony shook his head.
"I am just as lost as you are on this one." He shrugged before leading the way to follow their significant others. In the living room, a guitar hero was set up along with two stand up mics in front of it. Devon and Claire each stood before them, plastic guitars in hand.
"Are you two serious?" Tony gasped in amusement. The siblings turned to stare at him, shutting him up. They were dead serious apparently. He and Laura quickly made their way over to the couch, eager to see what was about to happen.
"Since I am the reigning champion, I will be courteous and let you choose the song." Devon informed his sister with a grin. Claire scoffed, but was already scanning through the playlist.
"Not the champion and duh I'm choosing the song." She quipped. Tony eyed the 'expert' playlist that she was scrolling through and smiled at her song choice. They siblings grinned in anticipation as the song downloaded. As the beginning guitar riff of 'Rock you like a Hurricane' began, Claire took the lead, pressing the buttons without hardly looking. Obviously this had been a frequent song choice. Tony watched with a pleased grin as she played the toy like it was a real guitar, her fingers flying over the buttons like a real rock star. Soon after Devon joined in, playing the harmony as the drums created a heavy beat for them to jam out to. Tony leaned forward and shifted into a more comfortable position as the sibling's music went back into sync as they played the same notes. Laura leaned backwards just as intrigued as Tony was while she eyed the screen that lit up green as the duo played each note perfectly. As the riff faded Claire slung her guitar off to her side, letting it hang loosely by the strap, and reached up to hold onto the mic as she started the song off. Devon continued keeping the guitar beat as she sang.
\It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking, and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin!
Tony's eyes lit up as Claire's rasp rang out as she poured into the lyrics. She sounded fantastic, even the game thought so as it lit up with programmed praises as she hit the notes. Claire was no professional singer but it seemed that this type of music agreed with her voice. He loved how it accented the deeper melodic tones she had, along with the slight rasp to her voice. After her verse, she quickly picked up her guitar again, letting Devon take the next verse.
The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches, and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave it's, time for the shooooowwwwww….
Tony and Laura shared grins, both equally surprised by their S.O.'s singing ability and how well they played this game. For the chorus both siblings displayed their skills as they sang while playing guitar.
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAAAANNNEEEEE
"Did you know this about Claire?" Laura asked Tony, all the while her eyes not leaving her fiancé. Tony chuckled, the grin never leaving his face.
"Not at all." He assured her. They fell back into silence as another verse came up.
My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, till storm breaks lose
Just have to make it, with someone I choose
THE NIGHT IS CALLING, I HAVE TO GO
The wolf is hungry, HE RUNS THE SHOW
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
ON THE HUNT TONIGHT FOR LOVE AT FIRST STINGGGGG
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE (Are you ready babayyy)
Tony and Laura snickered at Devon's imitation of falsetto while he filled in the extra parts during the chorus. If it wasn't clear already, it certainly was obvious that the Conners siblings were very into this game as Devon, a big burly dude, had no shame in attempting to hit those high notes.
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRRICAANNNEEEEEE
(Rock you like a hurricannneeeee)
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE (come on, come on, come on)
HERE I AM
ROCK YOU LIKE A HURICAANNNEE
HERE I AM!
Both siblings panted ever so slightly as they finished out the intense guitar riffs as well as landing the last note. Tony and Laura clapped and cheered for them all while laughing at how competitive these two were. Devon and Claire grinned at one another before laughing along with them.
(Rock You Like A Hurricane) – I imagine it as the version from Rock of Ages
