Hey guys! Here´s the new chapter, they´re finally singing in this one. Now I know that Emily (the actress who plays Fisher) sings amazingly, so naturally Kim would be great if something like this actually happened. I would like to think that Lisbon would be great too, and Jane is perfect in everything! And it would be hilarious if Cho could sing as well! Remember, this was a dream, so everything is possible! :D

Enjoy!
About half an hour after they sat down, Fisher and Cho started to sober up, but there was still a little awkwardness between them. Jane, feeling the awkwardness too, stood up and made his way to the stage next to the karaoke equipment.
He tapped the mic. "Good evening everyone. I´m Patrick and I came here with my friends to have some fun and to sing karaoke, but since I came here, I haven't heard any singing so we have to change it. Am I right?!"
A collective "Yeah!" was heard from the crowd and Jane smiled. Showtime.
"Okay so I see that everybody, including my friends is shy, I´m going to start with the first song. Now I´m not a singer so bear with me," he said and everybody laughed.
He was really born to be on the stage. Lisbon thought as she smiled at her boyfriend who was seemingly having fun.
He chose a song and the DJ began to play.
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
Woah. Lisbon thought as he began to sing. He was joking that he wasn't a singer but he was actually really, really good. Kim seemingly thought the same, as she looked at Lisbon with awe on her face. Even Cho raised his brows in surprise, still sporting his trademark poker face.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
He continued to sing, even danced a little. Always the showman. Lisbon thought as she smiled at him. Falling a little bit more in love with her idiot.
He finished and bowed. A collective applause was heard in the bar. Even Cho clapped, now sporting a little smile on his face.
"Thank you! Thank you!" He said, a big smile on his face. "Now that I've shown you how it's done…" There were a few laughs in the crowd "Please let me invite my partner and girlfriend on the stage! Teresa dear, come on! Show the crowd your skills!" Jane said and the crown clapped.
Lisbon, not being used to the spotlight, blushed a little as she made her way to Jane.
"Did you choose a song?" Jane asked. She was glad that he stayed there with her and did the most talking.
She nodded "Yeah, it´s Listen To Your Heart by Roxette," She said and heard more clapping from the crowd. Wow, this crowd is wild this evening. She thought and she smiled a little. Here goes nothing. She thought as Jane left and the song began.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of Heaven turns too dark
She started, her voice a little shaky, but as she saw Jane´s smile and Kim´s awe, she began to feel more confident and continued with a more steady voice.
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
She finished and the crowd went wild, a few people including her friends even stood up. Jane and Kim even whistled. Cho was now sporting a bigger smile as he clapped. Lisbon, feeling shy again because of the spotlight blushed a little and quickly left the stage. Back at the booth, Jane stood up and hugged her. "Wow, you were amazing!" He said and kissed her cheek. "Thank you," she said shyly. Jane then went back to the stage.
"Wow girl, I didn't know you had it in you," Kim joked as Lisbon sat down.
"She's right, you were great," Cho added.
"Thank you guys, really," Lisbon said happily.
"And that was my girlfriend! Wasn´t she amazing?" Jane asked and the crown applauded again. Lisbon was quite pleased with the reaction her singing got.
"...next, we have my good friend and partner, Kim. Come on! Let's show your talent," Jane said as he waved at Fisher.
"Oh dear, here we go…" Fisher said as she rose from the booth. Lisbon gave her a sympathetic smile and Cho was ignoring her, looking at his drink. Aw, he thinks he's subtle, trying not to look too excited on hearing her sing. Lisbon thought with a smile. She really hoped that Jane´s plan would work, she really wanted both of them to be happy and it would be great if they got together.
"Okay Kim, what will you sing to us tonight?" The crown chuckled as Jane asked her.
She smiled a little. Nervousness clear on her face "I´m gonna sing Try by P!nk."
"Woah, that´s a strong song, well good luck then," Jane smiled and left the stage.
Fisher took a deep breath. She looked at the crowd and her eyes met Cho´s for a second. She looked away quickly. Great, now I´m gonna be even more nervous. She said and took another deep breath. Then the song began.
Ever wonder 'bout what he's doing
How it's all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better,
To never ask why
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
She gave it her best, and then it was over. The crowd went wide. Applauses, whistles. Jane and Lisbon stood as they clapped. She looked at Cho, he was shocked, eyes wide but he wasn't standing, he wasn't even clapping. She was a little disappointed. She didn't expect him to gather her in his arms and tell her she's amazing. But she expected at least an applause. Then, he got out of his daze, and stood up. Stood up and started clapping and whistling. She thought that she´s gonna faint from shock. Even Jane and Lisbon looked at him surprised.
Kim thanked the crowd and left the stage. At the booth Lisbon and Jane jumped to congratulate her "Well, you were better than I thought," Jane joked good humoredly.
She laughed "Thank you, you were fine too," she joked back. Lisbon was next, "Oh my God! That was amazing! I didn't know you could sing that good!" She told her excitedly and hugged her. It's good to have a good friend. She thought as she hugged her back.
When they broke apart, she looked at Cho, he had a blank expression and when she thought he won´t say anything, he opened his mouth.
"That...uh...that that was really great, you were great," he said and cleared his throat. Never seen him so flustered before, she looked down and blushed. "Thank you, it means a lot," she said. Cho just smiled and sat back down. When Kim looked back at Lisbon, she was smirking but didn't say anything and sat down too.
"Okay guys! Three down, one more to go!" Jane said as he once again went to the stage. "Now please, welcome my best buddy, Cho!"
Lisbon and Kim laughed at the glare Cho threw at Jane. Jane´s teasing was priceless. Cho stood up and Lisbon could hear as Fisher took a deep breath. Well, well, well, someone is nervous. She smirked at her friend.
"Okay Cho, what song did you choose today?" Jane asked and pointed the mic at Cho´s face.
"I'm gonna sing Iris by Goo Goo Dolls," he said. Lisbon and Fisher looked at each other. Woah. That sure wasn't something they would've guessed. Even Jane looked surprised. "Well, okay then. Good luck man," Jane said and gave him the mic. He came to the booth and sat down. Surprise still written on his face.
Then he began to sing and all three of them sat in shock.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
"Oh, my God," Lisbon said as she watched. Mesmerized by his voice. "I think I'm gonna cry," Fisher added as she already felt the tears in her eyes.
Jane too, was shocked and didn't even react to their talking.
By the time the song ended, Kim was full on crying, Lisbon had goosebumps, and Jane´s mouth was open. The whole bar was quiet for a few seconds and erupted. Applauses and standing ovations replaced the silence and for a few seconds, nothing else could be heard, just clapping and whistling. Cho looked around and at his friends and smiled. He was a little touched when he saw Fisher wipe her tears away.
