The entire group was gathered in a room. It had pink walls and a sea green floor. There was a
small 'stage' at one end of the room. On the wall by the stage was the thing that would rate your
voice. Opposite of the stage was a table with seats all around it, 7 to be exact. Aeka and Ryoko had
sung first. At first, Tory had winced at their less then perfect voices, but she ended up smiling and
listening to them sing contentedly. Then Sasami went up. She sang beautifully and got a standing
ovation from the group and an 85 from the scoring thing. Everyone urged Tory to sing, but she
made Washu go first. She had a less then perfect voice too. Then they all made Tory go up and
sing.
"You cant be that bad." Ryoko said.
"Well if you put it that way…" Tory replied sarcastically. She walked up to the stage and
started to sing into the microphone.
"If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be we're all okay
And not to worry cause worry is wasteful
And use less in times like these
I wont be made useless
I wont be idle with despair"
She sang almost in a whisper. Her angelic voice echoed through out the room as she gathered
strength from the song. Tory lingered on the final note and then the song was done. The whole
room was in silence.
"I wasn't that bad was I?" asked Tory.
"That was a beautiful song." Sasami said.
"Yeah. It's one of my favorites."
Soon everyone was done and they headed out. Tory told the guy at the front office to put
the tab on her parent's bill. The clerk stared at her for a moment and then sent them on their way.
Sasami and Tory raced back to the apartment laughing hysterically. Tenchi smiled and shook his
head. It looked to him like the night hadn't been as big a disaster as he thought it was going to be.
He looked up at the sky and felt extremely grateful that the next day he had off school. Finally
everyone was back at the hotel and in front of Tenchi's door.
"Goodbye Miss Victoria." Called Aeka.
"Good-bye?" asked Sasami in dismay. "I had a really great time Tory but I guess I have to leave
now…" Sasami trailed off. Both the girls started to tear up.
"Oh give me a break. Why don't you sleep over with Tory, Sasami?" asked Ryoko. The girls
brightened and gave each other a high five again.
"Thanks Ryoko!" called Sasami.
"But what about your stuff?" Asked Aeka. Sasami frowned.
"Cant you bring some here for me?" asked Sasami.
"Oh all right." Aeka said shaking her head.
Ryoko waved goodbye as she and Ryoko went into Tenchi's room. Tory looked confused but didn't
ask.
"Thank you for taking us all to karaoke Tory." Washu said. When she walked into the room Tenchi
followed her. Out of curiosity Tory looked in through the open door and saw Aeka, Ryoko, and
Washu disappear into Tenchi's bed that suddenly had a glowing star shape on it. She stared in
shock for a moment and then fainted.
