I groan as I look at the clock he is yet again late he always was. "Chill he's coming I just talked to him," Says Wanda as she paints Rogue's nails for her. "If he screws this up I'll kill him," I say as I point to my self and then look at the clock again. "That's it he's late I'm picking someone else," I say as I glare at the floor. "What is it with you and glaring at things?" asks Pietro as I look up I see him leaning against the door frame. "Your late," I snap as I realize he is covered in sweat and his hair is wet. "I had track and sorry I never miss my shower after track," he says as he moves closer to me. "When do we sing?" he asks I smirk. "First I have to sing a few of my own songs then we can sing the song Rogue and Rem's picked," I say as I grab a mic and take my place as the music starts Rogue points Pietro to a chair beside Remy as she and Wanda get up and Ali fallows them smiling at Nate who was fixing the mics they each picked one up. "Back up vocals only," says Wanda as she tapped her foot to the beat. Ali smiles shyly at Nate as he grins and I start my song.
"I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a split from the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trimmin' and it fit me good
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
Then she kissed my cheek
And then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
as she started to speak
She looked at our pitiful shack
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your Pa's run'd off and I'm real sick
And the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
"To thine own self be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
The toe of my high heel shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
Askin' Mama what do I do
She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
They'll be nice to you
She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out
Well it's up to you
Now don't let me down now your Mama's gonna move you uptown.
Well, that was the last time I saw my Mama
The night I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby
Mama died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
And for me there was no way out
It wudn't very long 'til I knew exactly
What my Mama been talkin' about
I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow
I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I didn't know when or how
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame
You know I might have been born just plain white trash
But Fancy was my name
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Wudn't long after a benevolent man
Took me in off the street
One week later I was pourin' his tea
In a five room hotel suite yes she was
I charmed a king, a congressman
And an occasional aristocrat
And then I got me a Georgia mansion
In an elegant New York townhouse flat
And I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hippocrits
Who'd call me bad bad
And criticize Mama for turning me out
No matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
For nigh oh fifteen years
Well I can still hear the desperation in my poor
Mama's voice ringin' in my ears
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Oh here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for what I do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down, hon
Your Mama's gonna move you uptown
Oh, and I guess she did.
I finish the song and Ali and Wanda walk back over to thier seats as Warren smiles. "That was lovely Wanda I loved it," he says smiling at her she blushes lightly and nods. "Alright Lex it's yar turn to sing with Pietro I apologize for the song we picked," says Rogue as she sits back down after handing me and Pietro each a few pieces of paper.
(PIETRO)
I sigh and take the seat as she starts to sing I smile loving the sound of her voice just as soft as the breeze in the wind and as dangerous as a rattle Snake. I groan when she finishes singing the perfect sound had to end then Rogue said she was sorry about the song they had picked then Nate gave me a mic and pushes me to stand next to Lexa. "It can't be that..FUCK no way am I singing this," I say holding up the pieces of paper with the words to the song on them. "You'll sing it or I'll let John play wit your car and da lighter got it Mon Amie?" asks Remy smirking I glare but get ready as the music starts. "How sings the first part?" I ask Nate smiles and grabs a mic. "That would be me Nate the great," he says as it starts.
(NATE)
Ha-Ha! Well now, we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about
(LEXA)
I'd appreciate your input
(PIETRO)
Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Cum quicker than FedEx never reach an apex just like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time
(LEXA AND PIETRO)
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now
(LEXA)
Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"
(LEXA AND PIETRO)

Gettin' horny now," we finish the song and I grasp for breath sure I sing a lot and know this song by heart but wow singing with her took my breath away. I look over at her she seems to be in thought then looks over to me and looks away her green eyes piercing my heart. "Well now we know yall got the song down pat we can start on the dance," says Rogue as she grins evilly. "THE WHAT?" me and Lexa scream at the same time. "The dance to the song ya have ta dance," says Remy baking up his girlfriend. "NO FUCKING WAY I'M DANCING," we say at the same time and glare at each other. "Yes ya are," says Rogue smirking. "NO WE ARN'T," again at the same time. "STOP THAT," now we are giving the death glare. "COOKIES," she screams randomly. "What the fuck?" I ask she laughs smiling a little I love her laugh. "Cookies clearly we weren't gonna stop saying the same thing so I said cookies I love cookies," she says as she throws the papers at Rogue. "Come on Quickie how bad could a little dance be?" she asks smirking. "Fine as long as I get to be the guy," I say ,making her groan and Nate chuckle. "Shut up Nate," says Ali as she sits down beside him. "Yes Nate listen to your woman," I say as I smirk just think every day this week I get to stair at that. I think to myself as I look over at Lexa who was working with Rogue on the dance moves.
(LEXA)
"Ya like him ya know it..and thrust your hips more," says Rogue as she explains the dance moves to me. I nearly trip over my feet at her words. "Who Pietro?...no way he is a pain in my ass," I say as I do the right move. "Well not yet he ain't," she says I stair at her. "Perv you are spending way to much time with Remy," I say as she finally lets me stop dancing. "Na I just think yall two would look cute tagther ya know your wild and crazy plus he could use a little chocalte in his lyfe," she says I roll my eyes and give her my best death glare. "Honey yar forgettin who taught ya that it don't work on meh," she says as she grabs Remy by the hand and drags him out of the room. "Warren walk with me?" asks Wanda Warren nods and fallows them out. "Ummm...Nate wanna get something with me?" asks Ali she was sitting on his lap. "Umm...sure," he says as he hits play on the CD player and runs out after her leaving me and Pietro alone. The music was one of my fave songs. Then his voice broke our silence.
"Standing on the edge of morning,
scent of sex and New Found Glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair.
She drives away, she's feeling worthless;
used again, but nothing's different.
She'd stay the night but knows he doesn't care.
At home by three;
a deafening quiet.
The porch light's off,
guess they forgot it.
She'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare.
And she wants to be a model,
She wants to hear she's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
I want to save you,
I want to save you. (Yeah)
I need you
to save me too.
I want to save you.
Dressed by dawn and out the door,
no lights, she memorized the floors
so she could leave without being detected.
She works till three; it's uniform,
she dreams that he'll come by the store.
She prays for days when boys mean she's protected.
And she wants someone to see her,
She needs to hear she's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
I want to save you
I want to save you. (Yeah)
I need you
to save me too.
I want to save you.
And she won't sleep. (and she won't sleep)
She won't sleep,
and she won't sleep
at all.
I want to save you
I want to save you. (Yeah)
I need you
to save me too.
I want to save you
(Let me save you)
I want to save you
(Let me save you)
I want to save you
(Let me save you)
I want to save you
(Let me save you)
I want to save you," He final stops singing I look over to him as he smirks and just simply walks out the door with saying only one thing. "Later X think about what I said today that some guy you know has a thing for you but your just to blinded to see him but he See's you," he says as he shuts the door leaving me to my thoughts.
