Chapter 18: Musical Madness part 1

Diclaimer/Author's note: Salutations ....I still don't own...anyway I may be slow producing chapters for a while, I'm still unpacking from moving. So I'm sorry if I torment you with the delays...

Beytra: You know you love torturing people..something about screams of agony piercing the silence...

Mae(dreamy eyed):....especially when it's some cute guy chained to a rack.....(blinks and composes self then glares at Beytra) You're evil....

Beytra: Of course I am why else would I continually try to get you to torture and kill sweet innocent Quatre?

Mae:...anyway on with the story...cue Announcer....




Announcer: When we last we saw our heroes and heroines, they were in a private room of a Karaoke/Sushi bar and Crystal was drawing a name.......


Crystal(reading the piece of paper):......Duo-chan..

Duo: I didn't do it.

Crystal: .....Idiot, I'm singing about you. Go ahead and draw a name, (to others) we can go in order of drawing to make it easier.

Duo(draws, and silently reads it): Can I draw again?

Crystal: Only if you drew your own name which you didn't...why who'd you draw?

Duo: 'WuFei'...(various snickering, WuFei sulks/scowls)

Crystal: Sorry you're stuck..your turn to draw WuFei.

WuFei(draws): .........'Mina'

Mina(draws): I got.......Trowa.......riight.....

Trowa((I'll assume you know everyone is drawing)): 'Shannon'

Shannon: 'Heero'

Heero: Hn.

Crystal: .....Heero? Who did you draw? (he drops the paper onto the table)

Duo(picking it up and reading it): Heero got..Mae...

Mae(raising eye): ......(draws a paper) I got Quatre...

Quatre: If I'm correct I'll be singing about Crystal...(draws) 'Crystal'.

Crystal: Okay. (drops five large books on the table, which creaks under the weight) Here are the song books complete with the CD's, I brought some discman's if you wanna listen first, and we'll start in about twenty minutes.
(everyone starts going through the books and listening to the CD's to choose or help choose songs. ((if you would like the lyrics to any of the songs used in this segment of the story and don't want to use a search engine email me I'll send you the lyrics.))...after the twenty minutes has passed Crystal goes to the mic)

Crystal: Okay, since we're going in the order we drew..the first song was lovingly chosen for my Shini-baby..'Swedish' by Tom Green...(Mae starts to choke on her drink, Crystal clears her throat as the song begins...)

Crystal: My Bum is on the rail
Bum is on the rail
Look at me my Bum is on the rail
My Bum is on the man
Bum is on the man
It's a lot of fun to put your Bum on a man
My Bum is on the step
Bum is on the step
Don't fall down the step you might hurt your Bum
(laughing)
Chorus
And that is not very fun if you fall down and hurt your Bum
I like to put my Bum on things, It's fun for everyone
My Bum is on the cheese
Bum is on the cheese
If I get lucky I'll get a disease
My Bum is on the Swedish Swedish Swedish Swedish
My Bum is on the gum
My Bum is on the gum
I could blow a bubble with my Bum Bum Bum
My Bum is on the ship
The battle ship
I hope they don't shoot the cannon into my Bum
And shoot poo all over the place (poo poo)
Chorus
Cause that isn't very fun
When they shoot a cannon in your Bum
I like to put my Bum on things
It's fun for everyone
My Bum is on the dog
My Bum is on the cat
My Bum is on the phone
My Bum is all alone
(Loon)
The rail is all alone
The man is all alone
The Swedish is all alone
My Bum is all alone
(1,2,3,4)
My Bum is all alone (Repeat 12x)
Get the poo of my Bum
(Get the poo off)
I need the poo of my Bum
I got to get the poo of my Bum
(Poo Poo)
I want to hear the cannon
(Loon)
No let me hear the cannon
(Loon)
No, No, No, No not the loon
(Bum is alone, Bum is alone, Bum is alone, Bum is alone)
I want to hear the cannon
(Loon)
I want to hear the cannon
(Loon)
I want to hear the cannon not the loon
(cannon)
Yeah the cannon
Now get the poo off my Bum
I want the poo poo off my Bum Bum
Can I hear the Loon again
(Loon)

(Crystal bows and sits down while Mae, Mina and Shannon laugh)

Duo(gets up, shaking his head and chuckling): Babe I worry about you...(goes to the mic) Okay here's my song for Wu-man...

WuFei: Maxwell! My name is not 'Wu-man'!

Duo: Whatever, I'll be singing 'Superman' by Five For Fighting....(pauses as the music starts up and then begins to sing...after his fairly good cover. WuFei, with his eye raised, goes up for his turn)

WuFei: This song is being reluctantly sung and was chosen for Mina by her friends....'Barbie Girl' by Aqua.....(reads along with the spoken intro before singing halfheartedly) Hi Barbie
Hi Ken
D'you wanna go for a ride?
Sure Ken.
Jump in...
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic.
You can brush my hair, undress me.....(stopping and going wide-eyed) Dishonorable!! I refuse to continue!

Mina(big huge puppy eyes): Pwease WuFifi? You're doing so well...

WuFei(almost growling): Fine...and don't call me that!..(continues in a bland, spoken manner. when he finishes he storms to his seat and plops down)

Mina(going up for her turn): Thank you WuFifi...(ignores his glare) Okay before I start I have to say that it's very hard to find a song for Trowa...the best I could do is 'Silent All These Years' by Tori Amos...and yeah I know it probably doesn't make sense...(sings her round then bows extravagantly then sits. Trowa whispers something to Mae before going up..)

Trowa: I request that no one question the song or my singing abilities or possible lack thereof..(a few eyes raise) I'll be singing 'Aerials' by System of a Down for Shannon... (Shannon raises her eye. when he finishes he sits back down next to Mae)

Shannon(blinks for a moment then gets up):...Trowa I wanna talk to you when we get home...Anyway I guess it's my turn, my song is about Heero and it's 'Indestructible' by Matthew Good Band, enjoy...

Shannon: Died in a motor crash
I came back for you
The perfect version of myself
Tomorrow we start again
Tomorrow came and went
I'm indestructible, how
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible, how
I'm into, I'm in two
We won't say a thing
While you give your life away
Give your life away, not a thing
We won't say a thing
While you give your life away
Died in an amusement park accident
I came back for you
So you wouldn't be alone
And if I go away again
You can have my stereo
I'm indestructible, how
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible, how
I'm into, I'm in two
We won't say a thing
While you give your life away
Give your life away, not a thing
We won't say a thing
While you give your
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible

Quatre(as Shannon sits back down): That was an...interesting choice...

Duo: Quatre what are you talking about? (slinging arm over Heero's shoulder) That describes our Perfect Soldier..well..'Perfectly'

Heero: Duo remove your arm from my person before I remove it from yours...

Duo(quickly removes his arm only to wrap it around Crystal): You have to get through my baby.

Crystal: Says who? Anyway it's your turn Heero.

Heero: Hn. (gets up and stands in silence).........

Crystal: Uhh.....Heero? You have to introduce the song....you know state the title artist and who it's about.....?

Heero: ....'Trying', Lifehouse.......Mae (making eye contact with her and keeping it during the whole song)
Could you let down your hair
And be transparent for a while
Just a little while
See if your human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
And God I pretend like I do just
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art for today
I'd quote all the lines off the top of my head
And you'd be (Trowa wraps his arms around Mae in a posessive gesture and stares at Heero)
I don't understand all of these things I've read
I'm just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Well I haven't drawn it or figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way.....(Trowa still stares at Heero as Heero sits)

Duo(leaning to Crystal and whispering): Babe? Did we miss something?

Crystal(whispering back): Obviously, but don't worry we'll know soon enough.....

Duo: You know you scare me sometimes...

Crystal: Good. (during the exchange Mae goes up to the mic)

Mae: I have a few things to say before I begin; first I hate Karaoke, second Crys don't go to sleep tonight you may not wake up, and third I really hate being the center of attention. Now that that's out of my system, I shall be attempting to sing 'Hero' by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott for slash about Quatre... (after she finishes she immediately sits back down next to Trowa, who pulls her into a hug, and kisses her cheek.)

Crystal(leaning to whisper to Duo): Yep, we missed something.

Quatre(leaning toward them): You two shouldn't whisper, it will make people think you're up to something. (smiling as he gets up) Besides, I am about to sing for you Miss Crystal. (Shannon smothers a giggle as Quatre bows elaborately to Crystal before going to the mic)

Duo(blinking): Was Quatre being sarcastic??

Shannon: Wait until you hear which song he chose.

Quatre: I will now be performing 'Fat Lip' by Sum 41 for or about Crystal. (Crystal and Mina gape, Mae raises her eye, and the guys look confused as Quatre sings/raps along with the song. Once he finishes he's greeted by silence and frowns concerned.) Did I do that bad? (suddenly the others break into applause and whistles)

Mae(half-whining, half-teasing): Quatre....you just made the rest of us sound like a chorus of frogs....

Shannon: Speak for yourself.

Duo(suddenly screams): Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

The Girls: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Crystal: What?!?!?

Duo(pointing at Trowa): Trowa's smiling!!!

Crystal(blink then tackles him, and starts to strangle him): Die!!!!! (throttling his neck) What the hell is your problem?!?!?

everyone else: .....................

Duo(choking): Help me!!

Quatre(sighing): Crystal can you please stop?

Crystal(stops choking Duo buts hits him before getting up): Fine, besides we're doing one more set before we head home...

Mina: Are we drawing again?

Crystal(scooping the papers back into the box and shaking it): Yeah but we can go in any order for performing. (holds out the box for everyone) So everyone draw randomly and Mae'll write down who drew who.

Mae(raising eye): I will?

Crystal(handing her a piece of paper and a pen): Yep.

Mae:...........Ooookkkkaaaaaaayyyyyy......(everyone randomly draws.........)
