To begin this, I'm saying straight-out right now that I love this song.
Chapter ?: Random Shenanigans: Story 15
Karaoke
Ty's POV
Vybe set down a strange looking box on the table while we were eating dinner. All 8 of us were just eating happily until she plopped that thing down.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Open it!" Arata said, smirking. Oh boy... this is not going to be good... I take the box, open it up, and it looks like some sort of game console, but with Microphones instead of controllers.
"Honey, what is this?" I asked.
"It's a Karaoke machine!" Vybe said.
"I remember when you guys used to do this when you guys thought we were in bed." Arata began. "It always made me so happy you guys were not ashamed of being goofy next to each other."
I looked at Vybe next to me. She looked at me. We both had a goofy grin on our faces.
"Let's do it!" We both said.
I set it up to the TV. I plugged in the stereo. Everything seems to be working. I turn on the TV and set the input to the Karaoke thing. I plugged Vybe's phone into the machine and Vybe went ahead to pick a song.
"So... How are we supposed to use this one?" I asked.
"Well, Vybe just needs to select a song, and then it begins automatically." Arata said. "Jericho, I have one for us."
"Nice." Jericho said, pumping his fist.
"Alright, after much consideration, I decided me and Ty are gonna do this one." Vybe said, dragging me over to her and putting a mic in my hands. I stared at her and the music began.
"Oh, I know this one... Rather Be..."
She sang first, Dancing as she did.
"We're a thousand miles from comfort,
We have traveled land and sea.
But as long as you are with me,
there's no place I'd rather be." She sang.
"I would wait forever,
exulted in the scene,
As long as I am with you
my heart continues to beat." She put her other hand over her heart.
"With every step you take,
Kyoto to the bay,
strolling so casually,
We're different and the same,
gave you another name,
Switch up the batteries" She spun around after saying that.
"If you gave me a chance
I would take it
It's a shot in the dark
But I'll make it
Know with all of your heart,
you can't shame me.
When I am with you,
there's no place I'd rather be." She break-danced.
"N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be" She stopped dancing, pointing to me.
Well, here goes nothing...
"We staked out on a mission
to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
so nothing's incomplete.
It's easy being with you,
sacred simplicity" I sang. Vybe was tearing up.
"As long as we're together,
there's no place I'd rather be" I continued.
"With every step you take,
Kyoto to the bay,
strolling so casually," I was shuffling.
"We're different and the same,
gave you another name,
Switch up the batteries" I then spun around.
"If you gave me a chance
I would take it.
It's a shot in the dark
But I'll make it.
Know with all of your heart,
you can't shame me.
When I am with you,
there's no place I'd rather be." I break-danced.
"N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be" I sang, looking at Vybe.
"When I am with you,
there's no place I'd rather be." I finished, making her closer to me.
"Ty, your singing was beautiful..." Vybe said, Hugging me.
"Duo time?" I asked.
"Yes." Vybe responded.
"If you gave me a chance
I would take it
It's a shot in the dark
But I'll make it.
Know with all of your heart,
you can't shame me.
When I am with you,
there's no place I'd rather be." We twirled, embracing each other.
"N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be" I held her as she leaned back.
"When I am with you,
there's no place I'd rather be." I kissed Vybe right there, still in that same pose as the song ended. The sound of an "Ahem" Got our attention. Ryuu just coughed.
"Wow... That was great!" Jackie said.
"Just like I remember..." Hikari sniffed.
"Arata, it's our turn." Jericho said.
"I will go get my stuff." Arata said. "We are doing the song Can't Hold Us..."
And I will end it there.
The song is called: Rather Be - Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne
I just love it. I could also see Vybe singing that when I first heard it.
