"C'mon Lita, why don't you go up and sing?" Jeff prodded at her.
"Shut up, Rainbow Brite," she punched him lightly in the shoulder. "You know I don't do karaoke."
"Unless you're drunk," Matt piped up, grinning.
"Well, I'm not drunk," Calliope laughed, tugging Lita up. "But you're singing with me anyways." A small incantation will loosen her up, Calliope thought, her amethyst eyes studying Lita thoughtfully. So as they walked towards the stage she mumbled under her breath, "By birch and stone, and sand and sea, let Lita reveal her outgoing personality."
Lita was much more cooperative. She went to the emcee as Calliope climbed onto the stage.
She felt sort of-dazed. Outside of herself, even. But she still told the emcee to play her song on the karaoke machine.
The quirky guitar beginning was familiar to the witch as Lita joined her on stage. She took the microphone in hand, and started the first verse of the song.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The guitars became harder, and Lita got into the music, dancing her patented "alterna girl" dance, shaking her long red hair, singing the song with Calliope joining in for the chorus.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh...I've had it up to here!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next verse was Calliope's, and she belted the song out in her clear voice. Lita watched her, almost detachedly.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
+++++++++++++++++++++++
At the end of the verse, she began jumping around the stage with Lita, really putting on a show to give Gwen Stefani some serious competition in the performance of the song.
Lita knew Matt and the other guys were watching her in disbelief. She could understand why, she never got up on stage at karaoke bars when she was sober. And for her to actually get into singing, and to actually sing verses alone, was even more rare.
Calliope sang the next part of the chorus.
+++++++++++++++++
'Cause I'm just a girl.
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
+++++++++++++++++
Then she handed the mic off to Lita, who belted out the next part, pointing into the audience for effect. She smiled at Matt, who looked incredible. Long black hair pulled into a pony tail, short sleeved form fitting velvet shirt, and his signature Hardy Boyz necklace.
+++++++++++
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
++++++++++++
Then they leaned into the microphone together, smiling as they sang the next part in sync.
+++++++++++
I'm just a girl.
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Oh...am I making myself clear?
++++++++++++
Calliope grabbed the mic, making her voice young and sweet, twirling a shiny brown lock of hair around her finger, smiling sweetly at the audience, as Lita watched, smiling.
+++++++++++
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
+++++++++++
Then Lita jumped in, practically screaming the next part, bounding around the stage in a frenzy of energy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Make me worry some
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Calliope joined in for the next part, dancing to the music with the red head.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl. my apologies
What I've becocme is burdensome
I'm just a girl. lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no camparison
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They stopped moving around the stage for the last part of the song, the last singing of the chorus.
+++++++++++++++
Oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to!!
Oh...I've had it up to here
++++++++++++++++
Lita gestured to the top of her head as Calliope made a "go away" gesture to the audience at the last sad strains of the song.
The applause was thunderous, Lita and Calliope bowed to the crowd in the bar, smiling insanely. Then the witch decided that Lita had enough "outgoing personality". She clapped her hands together lightly once. "The spell is done." Twice. "The song is sung." Thrice. "Back to the regular one." Then she followed Lita to the table.
Matt was staring at his girlfriend. "What got into you?" he asked. "You only ever get like that in the ring."
"I don't know," Lita told him, looking slightly dazed. "I just suddenly felt like singing."
"You looked sexy," he whispered in her ear. She kissed his cheek, smiling.
Heavynne gave Calliope a serious look, saying "Don't try anything again."
"What?" the amethyst eyed witch smiled innocently. "I didn't do anything."
Don't try to lie to me, either, Heavynne thought to her. All she got in reply was a mental image of Calliope sticking her tongue out at her. Child, she replied to that. Calliope smiled smugly, and went back to her conversation with Steve Austin.
