"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.
