Summary: Kyle implements his odd little plan.
Hey Journal,
Well, I think my plan worked out well. They left to have a serious talk, I'll let you now later how it turned out. Unfortunately my plan led to my humiliation and I'm pretty sure that Tess set me up like we set up Alex. I shall have sweet revenge.
This is a long entry, got a lot to tell about, prepare.
This morning when Tess got up, before my dad, we hugged and sat to talk about last night and about the night before (we hadn't had a chance to talk about it, so suddenly I had the fear that maybe she did regret it). Because of dad getting home early and us having to try our best to look innocent. I guess I'd gotten a bit ahead of myself already wanting to marry her and everything and having not even spoken to her about what happened. Maybe I focused on the other couples to keep from worrying about what might be going on between Tess and I.
It seems she was feeling pretty much the same. I guess she thought I was going to be a typical guy and just use her, she was kind of surprised when I told her I'd meant what I said about wanting to date her. I think she almost lost it when I said that I think we should hold off from "doing it" (I couldn't bring myself to say "having sex" or "making love", I'm a guy) until after we had dated more and gotten to know each other in a less intimate fashion. She was shocked, okay? I was more shocked, my mouth suddenly betrayed my. Anyway, I really must have saintly qualities.
I'm going to regret that idea, I really think I will. I wonder where I can get hold of some saltpeter.
So we basically reassured each other that, though we rushed things, we didn't regret what had happened and that we wanted to be a couple now. Though, it'll be fun to see how this goes since she's not exactly been in a relationship before and my last one ended with me being called a stalker. Oh, this will be so interesting.
After we worked out our problems, I convinced her to help me get the other's back together. I learned the trick to it, play with her curls and she's a lot easier to talk into stuff. I'll have to remember that for when I'm trying to talk her out of stuff. but that won't be for awhile. I wonder if Maria can get me some kind of oil that works like saltpeter.
I explained "Operation Horizon", to which she constantly rolled her eyes at the name of. She highly vetoed my idea to use code names. At least I tried. I outlined what Tess was to do with Isabel and about how I needed her to help rig the names. Well, here's what she told me happened with her part of the plan and Isabel.
They met up that day to do a little shopping, to reassure Isabel everything was okay and to get her some late birthday presents with the money she got as presents (I need extended family, then I could get money). She engaged Isabel in a conversation about Alex and Grant, and how she just was concerned for her friend since he was an older guy and didn't know their secret. And, she pointed out how Alex knew their secret and didn't feel any different about her and how much he went through to show to her he cared.
This part of the plan had Tess building Alex up to Isabel, since she was so well known for not wanting them to mix with humans this would be an assault tactic Isabel wasn't prepared for.
I don't know everything that they said, I wasn't there but Tess said that when it was done Isabel called and broke everything off with Grant (which is great, I mean, he's too old for her) and gave Tess a big hug and thanked her. So, the first part of my plan had worked, now for the rest. Grant must have suffered, dropped over the phone, ouch. I really hope it hurt.
That afternoon when we all met up at the Crashdown I made the suggestion we all head to the new Expresso Pump and hit karaoke night. That's the second part of my plan, and what I thought would be the hardest to get done. Luckily, Tess chimed in that she liked the idea, Maria and Alex who are always up for music agreed. With them we were able to guilt the others into coming along.
While at the Crashdown I kept watch on Isabel and Alex and saw that they just seemed to be being casual, so I figured Isabel hadn't made a move on him yet. That worked well into my plan.
I keep talking about my plan, I think I'm becoming Dr. Evil. Who would the other's be? With Michael's new hairdo, I think I could fit him in as Austin Powers. Anyway.
We all met up at eight o'clock and got a table, we then began talking each other into singing. I had expected a lot of resistance, but the only one who really fought was Michael. But he caved under the pout of Tess, the glare of Isabel and the mocking smiles of Maria and Max. Next I proposed the key to my plan, after the groundwork Tess had laid, all was ready. So I wrote down everyone's name on pieces of napkins and put them into a bowl to be randomly selected, whoever's name you got is who you get to choose what they sing and all anonymously. You write the song beside the name and put it back in the bowl then Tess would take it up and get it all in order.
Of course, I had it rigged. Tess held the bowl so I was assured to get Alex's. I had a song for him to sing to Isabel. The rest were random, I think, though with what I ended up singing I think Tess stole mine to be mean.
Everyone selected songs and it was all arranged, right up to the order. Most just did fun songs to torment, but I had a mission and it turned out I wasn't the only one. And I think I know who selected songs for whom. Here's who I think did what. I think Maria picked Tess' song just for fun, it's a Maria thing to do. Michael or Max had to pick Maria to sing what she did, and the one who didn't pick it for her picked the song for Liz. Both of those boys are in danger now I think. Isabel had to have picked Michael's, she's the only one brave enough. I think Alex did Maria's and I know I did Alex's. Liz had to have picked Max's song though, that was the funniest thing I'd seen. And I blame Tess for my song.
Tess went first, and I almost choked when she started to sing Los Del Rio's "Macarena", she didn't seem to know the dance. so ladies at our table got up and started dancing, and then pulled us up to dance as well. Maria was almost choking too, but what a site. Tess figured the moves out rather quick and started dancing on stage. She finished the song and was met with much applause. more for the song being over than her singing of it, if you want the truth.
Next went Michael, who we had to drag on stage almost literally. When he saw the song he almost left, but Isabel was giving him a look that dared him to try. He was trapped, and I recognized the song immediately as it started and tried not to laugh. But Michael did sing it, and in a surprisingly pleasant voice. Just imagine Michael Guerin on stage sing karaoke to the Brooks & Dunn rendition of "My Maria". Oh yeah, no significance to how he tried not to look at her.
Michael took pleasure in making sure that Isabel stayed on stage to sing her song, and I must say I couldn't have picked a better one for her to sing. And she made constant eye contact with Alex. Things were looking up, the mood was good this might just work. It had to have been Michael who had the guts to choose Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" as Isabel's song.
Maria's song was next, and though she sang it wonderfully it was a harsh song. The only people I know who would even know that song are Alex and Michael, and I don't think Michael would subject himself to that kind of punishment. Maria looked straight at him as she belted out Stabbing Westward's "What Do I Have To Do?". That song was so angst ridden, and so true to them I guess. The mood was shot for the moment, but the next song almost killed us all.
Thinking about it, Max had to have picked Liz's song. It had no social commentary, no deep rooted meaning, it was just a fun song. I swear I'll always remember Liz up onstage singing Limp Bizkit's "Nookie". I mean, that song is so not her, and I think that was the point. But I think Liz had her revenge in the next song as Max took the stage to sing Britney Spear's "Baby One More Time.". Of course, the guys had to rib Max a little for doing it. Okay, so we did it more than a little, we did catcalls and marriage proposals. Tess elbowed me when I shouted out "Max, are they real or not?" and made breast-cupping motions. I think my Biker Chicks mags are now doomed. Oh yeah, the mood recovered. but my aching ribs.
Now came Alex doing what I selected for him to do. His natural talents could be heard as he sang Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want". He kept looking at Isabel but tried not be obvious, at least not until the part of the song where he looked straight at her, and everyone knew it, and sang "I'm everything you want, I'm everything you need, I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be, I say all the right things at exactly the right time and I mean nothing to you and I don't know why." The Ice Princess met an instant thaw and wiped away tears. As soon as Alex was offstage Isabel whispered something to Tess (I found out later what) and got up and pretty much dragged Alex out. I guess I'll find out tomorrow how it went, but I'm pretty sure it was a success.
I went up on stage to take my turn, I was confident. I mean, I don't have the greatest voice but I don't cause dogs to howl or anything. One look at the song and I was walking off stage to be met by Michael and everyone. They used the "We all had to do it, now it's your turn." Tess is going to pay for making me sing that "song". But I did it anyway, I got up there and started singing "I love you, you love me.", Yes, I was forced to sing Barney the vile purple dinosaur. Everyone was laughing as the school jock was forced to sing an annoying kiddy song in front of his friends.
I was greeted by applause and boos, when I left stage. I approached Tess, I know it was her, and she just smiled that sweet smiled and whispered in my ear "You're my Barney Buddha Boy now." If I didn't love her I think I would have killed her then. But she did at least tell me that Isabel told her she was going to make things right with Alex tonight and not mess them up again. I wish her luck, I feel like a superhero now, I want to look down and say "My job is done here now."
Oh, and don't worry, I'll be getting a little revenge on Tess. I've decided that her birthday party will be very special. Now, I need to ask Alex where he rented that costume.
Until Later my faithful Journal, I have innocents to rescue!
