Everyone got back to their seats in the stage room of Blue Moonlight. Some had a snack at the refreshment table, while others were eating a full dinner meal. Just then, the spotlight shined on the center of the stage again as Sonic stepped out from behind the curtain (again).
He got out the list of karaoke contestants (again). "Hello again, everyone. And welcome to the second half of the Blue Moonlight Karaoke Contest!" Everyone clapped and cheered. Sonic looked at his list. "Alright! It's now time for…"
But before he could finish, a familiar fat guy jumped onto the stage and interrupted Sonic! "TIME FOR THAT DANCING FOOL: DR. EGGMAN!"
Sonic stared in shock! "What the-?" Eggman jumped toward the center of the stage, turned on a boom box, and began break dancing to 'Cosmic Wall'! Everyone in the audience just stared blankly in shock, while others covered their eyes as fast as they could.
"AAAAHHH! My eyes! Make it stop!" Mina, Amy, and Sally said in unison! Eggman didn't listen he just, continued dancing, which was too disturbing to describe! Sonic then walked up the boom box, and turned it off.
Eggman turned around. "HEY! What did you do that for?"
Sonic answered. "For two very good reasons, Egghead: 1) So that no one would go blind from watching you! And 2) Because this is a karaoke contest! Not a dancing contest!"
Eggman looked confused. "What? Karaoke? But……isn't this the Metallic Madness Dance Club?"
Sonic looked very annoyed. "No……This is the Blue Moonlight Night Club!"
Eggman looked out at the audience as his face turned red in embarrassment. "Oops……uhhh…Wrong address! Uhh, SORRY!" And he dashed out of the exit, and down the street.
"Umm…Yeah. Well, sorry about that, folks." Sonic apologized. "Let's continue, shall we? Up next we have……oh! A duet! Everyone…Please welcome Mighty the Armadillo, and Espio the Chameleon!" The two of them got up on stage, and the audience gave them a welcoming cheer. They told the band which song to play. When the band boomed with yet another rock melody (though not as fast as before) the two of them began after a short guitar solo:
(M&E) "Easy lover,
She'll get a hold on you, believe it!
Like no other,
Before you know it you'll be on your knees!
She's an easy lover,
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it!
She's like no other,
And I'm just trying to make you see!"
(M) "She's the king of girl you dream of,
Dream of keeping hold of,
You'd better forget it!
You'll never get it!
She will play around and leave you,
Leave you and deceive you,
You'd better forget it!
Oh, you'll regret it!"
(E) "No you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it!
Get out quick, 'cause seeing is believing!
It's the only way,
You'll ever know!"
(M&E) "She's an easy lover,
She'll get a hold on you, believe it!
Like no other,
Before you know it you'll be on your knees!
She's an easy lover,
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it!
She's like no other,
And I'm just trying to make you see!"
(M) "You're the one who wants to hold her,
Hold her and control her,
You'd better forget it!
You'll never get it!
For she'll say that there's no other,
Until she finds another,
You'd better forget it!
Oh, you'll regret it!"
(E) "And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it!
You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing!
It's the only way,
You'll ever know!"
The guitar solo started, and it was quite a good one! Everyone was impressed at how well Mighty and Espio sang together! And the two of them were really into it, too. They moved their body to whatever they were singing! Solo over:
(E) "Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it!
(M) You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing!
(E) It's the only way,
(M&E) You'll ever know!"
(M&E) "She's an easy lover (E: easy lover),
She'll get a hold on you, believe it! (M: Get a hold on you)!
Like no other,
Before you know it you'll be on your knees! (E: You'll be down on your knees)!
She's an easy lover,
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it! (M: You won't feel it)!
She's like no other,
And I'm just trying to make you see! (E: Trying to make you see)!"
(M&E) "She's an easy lover (E: easy lover),
She'll get a hold on you, believe it! (M: Get a hold on you)!
Like no other,
Before you know it you'll be on your knees! (E: You'll be on your knees)!
She's an easy lover,
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it! (M: You won't feel it)!
She's like no other,
And I'm just trying to make you see! (E: Trying to make you see)!"
The song ended, and the two took a bow. The audience applauded loudly again.
"They loved it!" Mighty said to Espio.
"Yeah! Good job!" Espio said the Mighty.
Sonic got back on stage, and got out the list. "Well done, guys! Next we have……Rouge the Bat!"
Lots of the men in the audience cheered loudly (don't tell me you didn't see THAT coming)! She got on stage, gave the men a flirt-like wink, and grabbed the mike. The music started:
"Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules,
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need."
"I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the rest of the night.
He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be large than life!"
"Somewhere after midnight,
In my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
There's someone reaching back for me!
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet!"
"I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the rest of the night.
He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be large than life!"
"Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea,
I would swear that there's someone, somewhere,
Watching me."
"Through the wind, and the chill of the rain,
And the storm and the flood,
I can feel his approach.
Like the fire in my blood."
"I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the rest of the night.
He's gotta be sure, and he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be large than life!"
The song ended. Everyone cheered again, but it was easy to tell that the men cheered the loudest. Rouge sat back down, next to Shadow and Omega. Sonic approached the stage again. "Good job, Rouge. Now for our next contestant:……Knuckles the Echidna!"
Well, you know what happened next: as he walked on stage, everyone clapped and cheered for him. But when he reached the stage, someone stepped out from behind the curtains……Julie-Su! As soon as a keyboard, and guitar solo started, she began to dance! "That's right, folks!" Knuckle told the audience. "While I sing, she'll dance!" Everyone liked the idea! Knuckles got started:
"When she walks in the room, every eye in the place,
Turns to follow her every move!
She's arrived on the scene, in her diamonds and jeans,
World class! She's got nothing to prove!"
"It takes a long time to know her. She gives it up a little at a time!"
"She's getting' what she wants! She's a popular girl!
Settin' those hearts on fire!
Everybody wants, to be part of her world!
She's a…a popular girl, such a…a popular girl!"
"She walks down the street, knocks them dead on her feet,
With a casual nonchalance!
When she's breakin' your heart, she's a state of the art,
With a license to take what she wants!"
"It takes a hard man to hold her. She likes to get a little outta line!"
"She's getting' what she wants! She's a popular girl!
Settin' those hearts on fire!
Everybody wants, to be part of her world!
She's a…a popular girl, such a…a popular girl!"
"She stands by the window, the world is her stage,
Each smile is her mirror, in the passing parade, passing parade!"
"And in the end, all she'll be is your friend,
Though passion's your long desire!
She's the one you can't touch, you want her so much,
Your burnin', your heart's on fire!"
"It takes a hard man to hold her, the challenge is forever on my mind!"
"She's getting' what she wants! She's a popular girl!
Settin' those hearts on fire!
Everybody wants, to be part of her world!
She's a…a popular girl, such a…a popular girl!"
"She's getting' what she wants! She's a popular girl!
Settin' those hearts on fire!
Everybody wants, to be part of her world!
She's a…a popular girl, such a…a popular girl!"
"She's getting' what she wants! She's a popular girl!
Settin' those hearts on fire!
Everybody wants, to be part of her world!
She's a…a popular girl, such a……"
The music faded, as Knuckles and Julie-Su took their bows. The audience loved the singing and dancing teamwork! And Sonic was quite impressed, too!
"This just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?" Everyone cheered in agreement. "Well folks, we have two contestants left! Let's see who's up next!"
No requests on the last two contestants, please! I've already figured out who they will be, and I don't want any of you to ask and then be disappointed. Anyway, R&R, and be with me next time!
