French Love Chapter 5: The Karaoke Contest, a wrestling fanfic

René didn't like the way Sylvan was holding his hand - the entire scene looked somewhat dodgy. He tried to retrieve his hand but wasn't successful. He still had no idea where he was being taken, who Sylvan was taking him to see.

"Sylvan, where are you taking me? And do you realise how dodgy this looks?"

"I couldn't care less about what they think. Remember, they're American. They think we're sissies because of our culture and class."

"That's my line!"

A few more steps closer to the stage and René and Sylvan had reached their destination. All René could see in front of him were two brunettes a few centimetres shorter than him.

"Leila, Sophie, thought I'd see you two here! Enjoying yourselves?"

They turned around and René had to fight to suppress a smile. The twins he had been eyeing up earlier in the day. All he had to do now was figure out which one was Leila.

Now that he looked closely at them, it was obvious to figure out which twin was Leila. She was favouring her left ankle, lending support to Sylvan's story that she had fallen over in front of him.

"Stalking us now?"

"As if I would do that! You two are all alone in the big, bad country and you need protecting. Why not let myself and René do the job?"

"I have a black belt in karate. I think that speaks for itself. Besides, you haven't introduced us to your tag team partner but I know who he is already. Blonde over there doesn't."

"In that case, Sophie, René. René, Sophie."

René nodded and smiled a little before trying to discreetly look at Leila's ankle. From what he could see of it, she had done some serious damage to it.

"Did you hear about the karaoke contest? We're in it, not by choice, I might add. Obviously, someone's entered us with the intention of embarrassing us. I don't suppose you two would like to help us."

Leila nodded her agreement and quickly sculled the rest of her Coke.

"I'm good at karaoke. Generally once I've had a few."

"But you're underage," Sylvan exclaimed.

"Hasn't stopped me from drinking before! Besides, I can safely assure you that your eye won't be too bad. Trust me. I gave one to my brother once and he couldn't see out of it for about a week …what?" Leila hissed.

Chris Jericho tapped Leila on her shoulder and handed her a piece of paper.

"Can you make sure those two ass clowns see this?"

Leila nodded and glanced at the piece of paper, biting her lip as she tried not to laugh. She let Sophie have a look at the note before turning to look at René and Sylvan.

"I hope you like your superhero music."

"Superhero music? What do you mean by that?"

"You have to sing Mr America entrance music. Real American."

René and Sylvan looked at each other before looking at Leila, who handed them the piece of paper which said who was singing what song. René Dupree and Sylvan Grenier - Real American.

"I don't even know the words to that song! How the hell are we supposed to sing it if we don't know it? I don't suppose you two know it?"

"Luckily for you, we do. I sing it a lot when I'm drunk."

René Dupree and Sylvan Grenier - La Resistance - had to sing Mr America entrance music at the karaoke contest. No wonder they had been entered in the contest without their knowledge! But they, and the two young French girls named Leila and Sophie, knew they had a hidden agenda. With Leila and Sophie helping them, they were certain to do better than what they would normally.

A few minutes later, a general announcement about the karaoke contest was made. It was to start right then and there and the first entry was René and Sylvan.

Trying to act like they were heading to the squared circle and not a stage which they wanted to open up and swallow them whole, René and Sylvan, along with the twins, stood at the microphones, well aware of the looks they were receiving from the other WWE superstars.

As the music started, René felt like he was going to be sick. He couldn't look at the audience, the walls of the club, or the microphones. He looked at the floor, seriously wanting to throw up, but not on Leila. No doubt she would slap him if he did that.
