AN:Mwahahaha! Finally, I can make them all sing! Although, I'm not sure if making them sing is all that good of an idea... Anyhow, another disclaimer: I don't own ToL or any of the songs used in this story! Unless I decided on making a song up that is...
Chapter 2
Previously...
"It's nothing, Quppo..." Jay smiled. "That stu... I mean, Moses, wanted you three to attend this 'party' of his tonight, in Werites Beacon at the Fountain Plaza."
"Really! We love parties!" the three Oresoren brothers jumped up and down happily.
"Well as long as they're happy..." Jay thought with a sigh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jay decided to walk back to Werites Beacon instead of taking the duct, he just wanted to take his time and drag himself there before he had to humiliate himself in front of everyone in the whole city. "Ahhh! I can't believe I'm seriously going to make myself do this! I am never going to be able to show my face in that city again..." Jay shook his head trying to clear it up and turned to the three Oresorens, "I need to sing and I don't know what song to sing, do you guys know any songs besides your Oresoren songs?" That was a stupid question, of course they only knew Oresoren songs, they were Oresorens after all... "Of course, we know a lot of other songs too!" Quppo piped up.
"Here, listen to this while we walk to Werites Beacon," Pippo pulled out a CD player out of nowhere.
"What is this thing?" Jay stared at the strange machine.
"Umm... well... don't question things and just use it!" Poppo took the headphones and put it over his ears.
"Wow, I can hear music from this thing!" Jay listened to each song as they made their way towards Werites Beacon.
It had already grown dark by the time they got back and they could see lights of all colors coming from the Fountain Plaza. The four of them saw a bunch of people crowding the place, but were blocked from entering the plaza by the Bantam Bouncers. "Please stay back, good people!" they heard Curtis from somewhere in the center of the crowd.
"They are still setting up so please come back in an hour or so!" they could also hear Isabella's voice as well.
Jay stared at the crowd of people that were there, "Oh...My...God! That stupid bandit invited everyone in town!"
"Please, calm down Jay! Ors!" Poppo held back a raging Jay who was preparing to attack Moses with his daggers.
"Poppo, please! I need to go find that stupid idiot and kick his sorry..." before he could finish, Quppo covered his mouth.
"Jay! There are children here!" they looked around and found that little children appeared out of nowhere.
"Fine, lets just get in there, so I can get this over with..." Jay sighed in defeat.
The four made their way to the plaza and snuck in without the Bouncers seeing them, and were amazed at the sight, the plaza was transformed into a beautiful stage filled with chairs and lightings of all sorts.
"Jay! I see you made it to our little party," Jay was greeted by Moses with his goofy grin. "You ready to get yer little butt kicked by me and my song?"
"You wish," Jay turned his back to him. "I am going to wipe the stage with that mop-like hair of yours!"
"Enough, you two!" Will appeared, once again, with his Mighty Fist of Fury.
"Ow..." Jay and Moses both clutched their heads in pain.
"Now get ready you two, because you're not the only ones in the show, remember!" Norma appeared on the stage with a microphone.
"Yup, that's right! Everyone's gonna sing, except for, you-know-who," Moses lowered his voice glancing over at Will.
"Why not Will?" Jay asked confused.
"Hattie told us, whatever we do, don't let her dad sing or else..." Norma had walked off the stage and made her way to them. "She said, that he's terrible, and she'd know, he sings in the shower!"
Jay gave her a disgusted look, "and you two were discussing this about Will, why?"
"Well, we were over at Teach's place to pass some time, and Moses was taking a shower, then he started singing and it reminded me to tell Hattie to come too. Then I told her about that, and she told me all about Teach being in there and gave me 20 reasons why he can't participate in the singing part..."
Jay stared at her bug-eyed, he had never heard anyone talk so fast in the presence of the person they were talking about, "well, at least he gets to participate though," Norma noticed the way Jay was looking at her. "He's standing right behind we isn't he?" Norma asked.
Jay just nodded, and the mighty lightening fell on Norma's head, "oww..."
Somewhere a bit further from the plaza, Harriet had a bad feeling that she shouldn't have told Norma all those things about her dad being in the shower...
"So Jay, did you pick a song you'd like to sing?" Chloe came out from the crowd of people, followed by Senel and Shirley.
"Yes," Jay nodded. "But singing was technically not out of choice..." Jay glared at Moses.
"Well, tell me the song so I can get it set up for you," Senel pulled out a pen and a notebook.
Jay whispered something to him, "what! Are you serious?" everyone saw Senel's shocked face and Jay nodding. "Okay then..."
Senel walked back stage and they heard quite a bit of noise coming from there... "alright, everything is set up and ready to go!"
The Bantam Bouncers took that as their cue and called out to the people waiting to get in, "ladies and gentlemen! We now announce this Karaoke Fest open!"
The town's people cheered and began filing into the plaza, they were in awe of the changes in the plaza. The Bantam Bouncers appeared on the stage, "our first number will be by Norma Beatty, singing "Freckles" by Rurouni Kenshin!"
its the English version of Sobakasu, but I couldn't find the artist for this song...
Everyone cheered in the audience, Norma appeared on the stage and the song began...
I brushed against those freckles that I hated so,
Life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you,
It's heavy, the love that I would share for you,
But it dissolves like it was just a sugar cube.
Now the little pain sitting in my heart,
Has shrunk in a bit but it really does hurt me now.
Those silly horoscopes, I
Guess I can't trust them after all...
She suddenly looks at Moses, and smiled.
If we could get further away,
I wonder what it would be like...?
Yay!
I'd be so happy,
Inside my heart...
Norma placed one hand over her chest and one outstretched towards Moses, he would have taken her hand if she didn't pull it away.
All the memories, I have are beautiful in my mind,
But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul.
And tonight I thought, I'd be just sitting in my sorrow.
And now I must wonder why,
What did it really mean to you?
I just can't see it anymore!
I just can't see it anymore...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oohhhh...
Norma bowed and everyone clapped, especially Moses, since he was the one being played with during her performance, he applauded and dog-whistled to her. Norma grinned, "thank you! Thank you! You're all too kind..."
She walked off the stage still blowing kisses to the crowd, "anyway, next up is Moses and the Fun Bunch! It's not exactly karaoke, but it's still a band! Lets hear it for them and their song, We Are Family, by Sister Sledge!"
The crowd hooted and cheered them on, Senel was on the guitar, Will was on percussion, Chloe, Shirley and Grune were singing the chorus with the lead, and Moses was on lead.
A familiar beat started,
(Chloe, Shirley, Grune)
We
are family,
I got all my sisters with me!
We are family,
Get
up everybody and sing...
The three girls sang and danced...
(Moses)
Ev'ryone can see we're together,
As we walk on by.
(FLY!)
and we fly just like birds of a feather,
I won't tell no
lie.
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say,
Can they be
that close?
Just let me state for the record,
We're giving love
in a family dose!
Everyone cheered Moses on as he sang by himself...
(Chloe, Shirley, Grune)
We are family,
I got all my sisters with me!
We are
family,
Get up everybody and sing...
(Everyone, except Moses and Will)
We are family,
I got all my sisters with me!
We are
family,
Get up everybody and sing...
Everyone except Moses and Will sang, and the audience were no longer sitting and were dancing along to the music...
(Moses)
Living life is fun and we've just begun,
To get our share of
the world's delights.
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the
future,
And our goal's in sight.
(WE!) no we don't get
depressed,
Here's what we call our golden rule:
Have faith in
you and the things you do,
You won't go wrong,
This is our
family Jewel!
Moses did his dance as well as singing and got the crowd going even more...
(Everyone)
We are family,
I got all my sisters with me!
We are
family,
Get up everybody and sing...
Literally everyone sang, including Will, but little did he know that his microphone wasn't turned on...
Everyone cheered as they all bowed, "Yea Moses!" Csaba's voice could be heard as well as the other bandits that Moses brought along.
"Go Moses!" Norma was also cheering with the bandits, and was screaming like a love crazed fan girl. She would've ran onto the stage and gave them all high fives but she decided against it, since Will was there and she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, after what happened a little while ago...
"Alrighty! And now for our final performer, Jay!" Curtis announced.
Everyone was cheering for Jay, as he slowly made his way onto the stage, feeling humiliated already, "He's going to be singing..."

Mwahahaha! I'm not gonna tell you until the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed that!
Now Backstage with the Fun Bunch!
Norma: Oh yea! That was fun!
Grune: Yup that was definitely a lot of fun!
Moses: Yeehaw! I so win this contest!
Jay: sigh, I still have to let this predicament drag on because of the authoress... You'd better not make me sing any stupid songs!
Me: It's okay, it's a normal song, unless you want to sing a song by... hmm, lets see, how about a song by Britney Spears?
Jay: O.o NOOOO! Please, anything but her, I'll do anything!
Me: Anything?
Jay: I have a bad feeling about this...
Me: I want to see you give your big brother a hug!
Jay: What? Is that it?
Moses: Oh yea, I get a hug from my little bro!
Jay: Oh, you meant that one! Nooo! I'd rather sing the song!
Me: Too late! Either that or eat Harriet's food!
Jay: Give me the food...
Harriet: I didn't think you'd ever ask.
Jay: takes a bite... swallows hard... alright, am I still alive?
Me: Yup
Alright, that should be good enough for one day... Hope you enjoyed that!
