"Now who's better, Ghetto Grace, Ghetto Theresa or Ghetto Gwen?" Sam asked.


"Definitely Ghetto Grace," Ivy replied. "She had the ghetto look too, Gwen didn't look trashy enough. Ghetto Theresa was too sweet."

"Now here's Sheridan Crane and Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald," the host announced.

Sheridan and Luis walked up to the stage and took the mikes. "I had no idea that they could sing," Ivy remarked.

"Hi," Sheridan said. "First off, I want to apologize about my brother's asinine antics earlier this evening."

"And I'd like to apologize for my sister's antics as well," Luis told the audience. "Anyway, we're here on a dare from Hank to sing. So we picked Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera's Nobody Wants to be Lonely."

"It was better than Endless Love," argued Sheridan as the crowd groaned with displeasure. "So shut up or I'll sic my daddy on you!"

Luis began to sing to Sheridan:

There you are

In a darkened room

And you're all alone

Looking out the window

Your heart is cold and lost the will to love

Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows(in the shadows)

Come to me, Come to me

Can't you see that

"They're not half bad," Sam told Ivy.

"I just had the best idea," Ivy said and grinned.

"What?" Sam asked.

Sheridan joined Luis in singing the chorus:

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

My body's longing to hold you

So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it's slipping away

And I've been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why(why)

Why don't you let me love you

"Okay," Ivy said and grinned. "Well, after we're both done, you and I go up there and sing."

"I thought you hated to sing," Sam replied.

She shrugged. "It might be kinda fun. Come on." She grabbed his arm and they ran up to the sign-up area as Sheridan began to sing her verse.

Can you hear my voice

Do you hear my song

It's a serenade

So your heart can find me ohhh

And suddenly your flying down the stairs

Into my arms, baby

Luis joined her for the chorus and the bridge.

Before I start going crazy(going crazy)

Run to me, Run to me

Cause I'm dying

Nobody wants to be lonely(wants to be lonely)

Nobody wants to cry

My body's longing to hold you(longing to hold you)

So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it's slipping away

And I've been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why(why)

Why don't you let me love you

"I can't believe that I just signed up to sing that song with you," Sam told Ivy as they returned to their seats.

"Well, it'll be a bit, hmmm, nostalgic, shall we say," Ivy replied and listened to the rest of the song.

I want to feel you need me(feel you need me)

Just like the air you're breathing(breathing)

I need you here in my life

Don't walk away, don't walk away

Don't walk away, walk away

No, no, no, no

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry(Nobody wants to cry)

My body's longing to hold you(Is longing to hold you)

So bad it hurts inside(It hurts inside)

Time is precious and it's slipping away

And I've been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why(why)

Why don't you let me love you

"So when is Ghetto Hank going to come up and try to win Sheridan back?" Ivy asked sarcastically.

"Hopefully no time soon," Sam answered. "This is actually going quite niceley."

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry(Nobody wants to cry)

My body's longing to hold you(So let me love you)

So bad it hurts inside(hurts inside)

Time is precious and it's slipping away

And I've been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why(why)

Why don't you let me love you

Why, why, let me love you

Why, don't u let me love you

Let me love you

Why?

After the music ended, Luis got down on one knee. "Here?!" Ivy asked incredulously.


"Sheridan, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," Luis began. "I would be honored and delighted if you would marry me."

The audience cheered as tears filled Sheridan's eyes. Even Ivy, who had taken on a jaded attitude about love as of late, was somewhat touched. Sheridan nodded and threw her arms around Luis. He returned the kiss and they walked off the stage together.
