I have been searching forever for this chapter, and finally I found it! This chapter's pages were scattered around in piles of paper in the dusty corners of my room. I really should keep them all together in a folder or something...
Of the three chapters of KARAOKE HEAVEN I have written so far, This is the one that I don't really care for. It's Meryl's Chapter! It seems kind of boring to me. Well, how about I shut up and let you judge for yourself? However, I suggest that if you have not read the other chapters yet, go read them first! Thank you!
Again, I'll put the Disclaimer at the bottom so the song won't be spoiled!

KARAOKE HEAVEN Part Three

"Good Idea, Mr. Priest!" Milly said, grinning from ear to ear. "Hey! you're supposed to be on MY side!"
Meryl huffed, anger marks sprouting across her forehead.

Vash stumbled out of the Men's bathroom, a half-empty beer bottle in hand. "Someone threw up in da bathroom, it smells very much bad in there... (hic)" He put an arm over Wolfwood's shoulder to maintain his balance. "Wassup?" He blurted loudly, seeing the nervous look on Meryl's face. Milly frowned and said, "Meryl doesn't want to go up!"

Wolfwood patted the small woman on the back and said, "Hey, if you go up, I'll insure my bike with Bernardelli." Meryl looked somewhat tempted, and Milly smiled. "I'll go up after you, too! It'll be fun! Go ahead, you'll be fine!" Meryl still looked uneasy. "I don't wanna..."
"Pleeeeeeeeeaase?" Milly and Wolfwood said at the same time, with big watery chibi eyes.

"Fine, I'll go up!" Meryl sighed hopelessly. "Yay!" Milly yelled obnoxiously loud. Wolfwood gave her a high five. Meryl hesitated for a second, thinking of what she'd gotten herself into. She walked over to the DJ booth and told him which song she wanted. She walked very slowly towards the stage, and people stopped drinking and turned their attention to her. "Go Meryl!" Wolfwood, Vash and Milly chanted.

Once on the stage, Meryl sweatdropped and gave the DJ a thumbs up to start the track.

Meryl:uh huh,this my shxt
All the girls stomp your feet like this (Stomps feet)
A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl...

Meryl's voice, slightly off key, rang through the bar. Even Milly had nothing to say about her selection.

Meryl: ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt (hic)
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
I heard that you were talking shxt, And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out (hic)
That's right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up

People stared.

Meryl: Few times I've been around that track (hic)
so it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl,
I ain't no hollaback girl
few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl,
I ain't no hollaback girl
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt (hic)
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
no principals, no student-teachers
both of us wanna be the winner, but there can only be one
so I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
that's right, I'm the last one standing, and another one bites the dust...

People's mouths hung open. Meryl was having fun, getting into the song, dancing around a little bit. "Go Meryl!" Milly yelled awkwardly. Vash and Wolfwood were fighting to keep from laughing. Meryl shot them a death glare.

Meryl: Few times I've been around that track
so it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
few times I've been around that track (hic)
so it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt

Vash rolled his eyes. "I know what part's coming up next..." He and Wolfwooddug their fingers deep inside their ears. The drunken ladies ran over to the stage to sing with Meryl.

Meryl: Let me hear you say this shxt is bananas!
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
this shxt is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
this shxt is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
this shxt is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Vash took his fingers out of his ears. He shook Wolfwood, who was laying in fetal position on the floor. "IT'S OVER NOW!" He shouted. "I hate bananas..." Wolfwood mumbled, getting off the floor.

Meryl: A few times I've been around that track
so it's not just gonna happen like that
'cuz I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt (hic)
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt
ooh ooh, this my shxt, this my shxt...

The final bit of music played and some people applauded. The drunken ladies screamed. Meryl coughed a bit and walked back over to the three. "That song saysthe unholy 'S'word about forty times..." Wolfwood said,a brow raised disapprovingly.

"Maybe it would have been better if you hadn't sang it all in monotone..." Vash started sating, but Milly kicked him in the shin hard. He shouted and glared at her. "That was GREAT, Meryl!" She exclaimed. Meryl huffed loudly. "Your turn now..." Meryl reminded her, pointing to the stage...

Disclaimer - I do not own Gwen Stefani or her song "Hollaback girl" in any way. Nor do I want to.

Yeah, that sucked. I used censoring, if you couldn't tell. I don't like the 'S' word very much. I hope the formatting turns out better this time, the words were all mushed together in the last chapter. I'm still new to this site, so I'm stil getting used to how to submit things and such.

Unlike the previous three chapters, I do not already have Milly's written. So, if anyone has any ideas for a song they'd like to see her sing, let me know, and I might use it!
So,what do you think?Review and let me know!
