A Smile Worth More Than Gold Chapter 5: Try to Have Fun!, a card captor sakura fanfic

Hi there guys, first off I wanna say thanks to all the people who reviewed, it was very nice of you guys. Anyways where were we? Oh yes, SINGING!

Chapter 5- Try To Have Fun!

Syaoran looked as thought he were ready to puke. It was bad enough he had to sing, but in front of a crowd? He was afraid he was going to freeze; he wasn't a very social person. Sakura smiled and jumped around, obviously excited. Well, that or she was on a sugar high. Either way she was too happy.

"So Syaoran, what are we gonna sing?" Sakura asked happily, jumping around.

"Who cares, the shortest song you can think of."

"Hmmm, I have a better song in mind…" (the 2 songs in my fic- Love Shack and Everybody Dance Now, why do I say this? I'm going to sleep so I don't forget tomorrow)"HEY BOSS! What's that song you love again!"

"You're gonna sing THAT!" He looked at the both pf them, then laughed. "Good luck, this boy doesn't look like he's cut out to sing something like that."

"Oh but he is, you simply underestimate him."

"Ummm, I'm sorry, what song are we singing again?" Syaoran was completely confused.

"Don't worry, you'll have to know this song, EVERYONE knows THIS song!" she dragged Syaoran onto the stage and the music started going. "EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!" Sakura shouted through the microphone.

'We're singing THIS!' Syaoran thought in astonishment. He couldn't believe it, he didn't want to believe it. He didn't have the time to decide whether he would believe it or deny it, however, for Sakura was no running around the stage, singing the song, while there he was, looking like a complete idiot. Sakura noticed he was just standing there, so she ran over to him and put the microphone up to his mouth. He was about to decline, but Sakura had pleading eyes as she whispered 'Just try to have fun.' Syaoran rolled his eyes and began to sing.

Everybody Dance now...

Give me the music

Everybody Dance now...

Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah

Everybody Dance now...

Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah

Everybody Dance now...

Syaoran was trying, but he couldn't seem to get into the song. People were booing, it seemed nothing could save them now….

"Why are we coming here?" Eriol groaned as Tomoyo dragged him down the street.

"Because, Sakura said she'd be working tonight! I wanna come see her!"

"Tomoyo…..you barely met her 2 days ago……"

"But I want to see her! She seems very nice!" She and Eriol walked into the restaurant part of the building, and immediately heard the sound of people booing on the other side. Taking a look, they saw that Sakura and Syaoran were having troubles with a song that was ending. "Poor Sakura….we should help them!"

"How?" Eriol asked, although he already knew what she would say.

"Like this." They ran onto the stage, and it took Eriol a while to notice the song that was being played.

"I LOVE THIS SONG!" Eriol exclaimed. "START IT OVER! FROM THE TOP!" Sure enough, Sakura's boss figured he had nothing to loose now, so he started the song over.

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: In this part of the story, I'm going to say who's singing which lines and what they're doing. So here's how it will go- SK is Sakura, SY is Syaoran, T is Tomoyo, E is Eriol, and EV is everyone)

E: Everybody Dance now ... (grabs extra microphone, raises fist in the air)

T: Everybody Dance now… (Repeats Eriol's movements, the crowd quiets down a little)

SK: (smiles) Give me the music….. (nudges Syaoran)

SY: (rolls eyes) Give me the music…. (Moves feet around to dance a little)

SK: EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!(closes eyes, begins to dance along with the music)

SY: Everybody dance now… (moves around a little more)

E: Yeah…Yeah…Yeah…. (starts clapping to the rhythm)

T: Everybody dance now…. (dances around Eriol)

SY: Yeah…Yeah…Yeah… (claps softly)

SK: Everybody Dance now…. (jumps around Syaoran)

E: Here is the doe, back with the bass

The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time

Or the mike if it don't rhyme

Jump to the rhythm jump jump to the rhythm jump (everyone jumps simultaneously and repeatedly, Syaoran only jumps a little)

And I'm here to provide

Peace and lyrics to make your shake your pants

Take a chance, come on and dance

Guys grab a girl, don't wait, make a whirl (Syaoran grabs Sakura, Eriol grabs Tomoyo, guys twirl the girls)

It's your world and I'm just a swirl (guys swirl girls again)

Trying to get a nut to move your butt

To the dance floor, so yo what's up

Hands in the air, Come on say yeah, (all four off them raise their hands)

everybody over here everybody over there

the crowd is live and I feel this groove

Party people in the house (the crowd is happy again)

Move ... (Let your mind)

Move ... (Put me online)

EV: Come on let's sweat, baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Everybody dance now...

Da da da da

da da da da

da da da da, da da da

la da da da

dum da dum da dum

SY: Pause take a breath go for yours

On my command now hit the dance floors(everyone runs around the stage)

I'm gonna make you sweat till you bleed

Is that ... enough, indeed

I pay the price, control the dice

I'm more precise, to a point I'm nice

The music takes control, your heart and soul

Oh, your body is free and a whole

Dance till you can't dance

Till you can't dance no more

Get on the floor and get warm

Then come back and upside down

Easy now, let me see ya

Move ... (Let your mind)

Move ... (Put me online)

(Repeat the chorus, repeat movement performed in the chorus)

The music is my life ...

everybody dance now ...(everyone dances their hardest, including Syaoran)

everybody dance now ...

everybody ...

everybody dance now(everyone does a pose)

The song ends, and everyone applauds. All four of them are out of breath, but they don't care.. They all looked like they had fun. Sakura looked at Syaoran, and it was hard to tell what his expression was. He wasn't sad, but he wasn't smiling.

'He had fun,' she thought, 'he just has a hard time admitting it. But no matter how hard he tried, he can't deny that he was happy.'

"ONE MORE SONG!" Tomoyo was giddy with laughter. She told Sakura's boss which song she wanted, and he smiled and happily put it on. The music began, and Eriol seemed ready.

E: If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the...(points to Sakura)

SK: Love Shack! Love Shack yeah

SY: I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway (pretends to be looking for something)

T: Heading for the love getaway, love getaway, (pretends to be driving)

E: I got me a car, it's as big as a whale (stretches arm for visual picture)
and we're headin' on down

T: To the Love Shack

SY: I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money (everyone digs in pockets, gives invisible money to Syaoran)

SK and T: The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together (everyone holds hands and swings arms around)
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at,
Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

E: Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, (puts hand in front of face, shakes head)
'cause love rules at the

SK: Lo-o-ove Shack! (raises hand in air)

SY: Well it's set way back in the middle of a field, (goes to middle of stage)
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

SK and T: Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together (everyone holds hands and swings arms around)
Love Shack bay-bee! Love Shack baby!
Love Shack, that's where it's at!

E: Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', (everyone running around the stage, jumping and dancing crazily and playfully)
wearin' next to nothing

SY: Cause it's hot as an oven (everyone fans themselves)

The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around! (Everyone's jumping around in circles)

E: Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby! (everyone dancing with one another)

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby (everyone runs around)
Funky little shack! Funk-y little shack!

E and SY: Hop in my Chrysler,

E: Knock a little louder baby!

SK and T: Bang bang bang on the door baby! (raises their voices)

SY: I can't hear you (puts hand against ears to show he can't hear)

SK and T: Bang bang on the door baby (sings softly)
Bang bang on the door (slowly increases)
Bang bang on the door baby (Shouting)
Bang bang (screaming)
You're what?... Tin roof, rusted!

EV: Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', (Sakura hugs Syaoran, Eriol hugs Tomoyo)
dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack (everyone does pose)

Again the song is, only this time people were literally standing in a line to get up and sing. Things went so well that Sakura's boss let her go home early. Sakura, by this time, had forgotten all about Touya. So, when she and her friends arrived at home, they not only had to deal with Touya, but Sakura's dad as well.

"But Dad," Sakura interrupted him during his lecture of why you shouldn't skip school., " you don't understand… This is Syaoran Li, his mom came for him, and his mom isn't very nice, so you see, I had no choice!" Sakura gave her dad a bright angelic smile, of which her father saw straight through.

"That's no excuse, after all, it's his MOM, what could be so frightening?" Syaoran cringed at the question. He OBVIOUSLY didn't know Syaoran's mom.

"Okay Dad," Sakura sighed. "I'm sorry…. Hey, can Syaoran stay over here tonight? Pleeeeeeeaaassseee?" Sakura gave her father puppy dog eyes, and her dad sighed and smiled.

"Fine…he can sleep on the couch."

"THANK YOU DADDY!" She hugged her dad and Touya rolled his eyes. Tomoyo and Eriol went to their respective houses and Syaoran and Sakura both fell asleep quickly. Syaoran couldn't sleep for some reason. Then, in the middle of the night and cloaked in darkness, a figure stood in front of a restless sleeping Syaoran, casting it's shadow on his body. The figure quickly covered Syaoran's mouth, and he awoke immediately.

"You fool," the figure said, their voice dripping with malice. "Did you really think I was that stupid!" the figure laughed and began to drag Syaoran out of the front door….
