It was Nataras second last night at the SFPD and Amy, Kai, Ken, Mal and the captain all took her out for a fun night before she left. They decided on a Karaoke bar and unfortunately Natara knew that mal could sing and she made him promise to sing for her that night if it killed him.

"Of course I'm going to say yes" mal thought, "but if I'm singing in front of everyone for you, I'm going out with a bang" he said to himself as he walked over to the list of songs. His eyes scanned the paper for the perfect song. "There it is "he mumbled as he told the man what his song was.

Mal made his way up on stage as Natara, Amy, Kai, ken and even the Captain cheered for him, his face started to turn red but he pushed forward and the song started.

I said I don't want to walk this earth

If I got to do it solo

See how we used to be a team

Running the streets

Ya we was living out our dream, oh

You used to be my rider

I was your provider

And now we separated in two

Natara sat there with her mouth hanging open at the choice of song, everyone else just smiled. She placed her hands over her mouth staring up at him in disbelief. Kai lent over and whispered in Amy's ear.

"I wonder where Mals going with this hey" he said as he gave her a nudge

Amy was too busy being in shock about the fact that he could sing and absolutely loving the stupid puppy love look on Nataras face.

Everyone else was just listening intently to the sound of Mals voice.

Oh we was burning up the block

And everybody know when we step in the spot, oh

See, we was like the dynamic duo

I'd never thought that you'd go, but you did

Yeah you did

Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (yeah, alone)

And now you got me trapped up on this island

With nowhere to get home

Natara couldn't bear to look at him, "how can I leave everyone, how can I leave my friends, how can I leave the man I love"

She now had her whole head in her hands, letting Mals voice fill her ears. She couldn't focus on much else. Ken looked over and put her hand on her shoulder rubbing it an attempt to make Natara feel better.

And I dont wanna go, go

I dont wanna go, go

I dont want it no, no

I dont want it no, no

I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cos I was so high

And now I'm so low

And I dont wanna walk around alone,(solo)

Said I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it solo, (solo) solo

Mal gazed across the floor and locked eyes with Natara who now had her head up again "oh god I hope this works" he thought as he kept singing. He hadn't sung in front of people in a very long time, and if she was going to sing in front all these people he was going to use the situation to the best of his ability. The crowed started to clap along and Mal was surprised at people's reaction.

Cos I was so high

And now I'm so low

And I dont wanna walk around alone,(solo)

Said I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it solo, (solo) solo

Amy and kai exchanged glances when they saw mal and Natara staring at each other from the stage.

"That's like so cute" Amy said in a tiny voice.

"Oh my god I like know" kai said mocking her voice

"Don't be a jerk kai, it is, look" she said pointing.

"I know, I wonder what will happen" kai said and they went quite thinking about it. The captain was just watching and thinking, she had a thought but she wasn't sure whether Natara would agree.

She leant over and whispered something in Nataras ear. Natara just stared at her in shock, she didn't know what to do. She looked at Mal and she looked back at the captain and nodded her head.

You was the beat onto my top line

Put us together

And you have to hit the rewind

See, you gave me a purpose

Now I'm getting nervous

That my heart will never sing again

Oh, when we was burning up the airways

They know us from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.

See, we was on our way to the platinum and gold

Never thought that you'd go , but you did yeah

Yeah, You did

Oh and baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)

And now you got me trapped up on this island

With no way to get home

Mal was getting nervous, he was trying to read Natara like she taught him but he couldn't. Mal thought about quitting the force before she came. After his wife left him he was depressed but Natara gave him a reason to stay, a purpose. Mal was beyond embarrassed it felt like he was going to burst into flames he was that red. He felt so open on the stage, trapped with no way to get off, but he wasn't getting off until he got through to Natara.

And I dont wanna go, go

I dont wanna go, go

I dont want it no, no

I dont wanna it no, no

I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cuz I was so high (was so high)

And now I'm so low

And I dont wanna walk around alone,(solo)

I said I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it, solo (solo) solo

Natara stood up and brushed herself off. She started to make her way to the back of the room and out the door. As she walked out all she was thinking was "I don't want to go, I don't want to have to leave everyone" she kept walkingout through the doors and around the side to the back entrance. She stood at the back of the stage listening to Mals words float through the curtains behind him.

Ken, Amy and Kai were worried they had no idea where Natara went.

" Maybe she went to the toilet" Amy said.

"But the toilets are over their" kai said pointing next to the stage.

"Well I don't know" Amy said frustrated.

" I just hope she hasn't, you know, up and left" kai said quietly .

" You two have nothing to worry about" The captain said interrupting their conversation.

Ken, Amy and Kai just looked at her funny.

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O (no no)

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O

Ohh ohh ohh (Oh nooo)

Sol-oh-oh-oh (solooo)

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O

I dont ever wanna let your love go

Ohh ohh ohh (oh nooo)

Oh no no no

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O!

It felt like Mals heart had been ripped out of his chest as he watched Natara stand up and walk away. He wanted to drop his microphone run off to a dark cave and die. He was devastated. He was so sure it would work, so sure that she would stay.

"Maybe instead of singing a freekin song I should have just told her I love her and I don't want her to leave" he said to him self

He looked over at Ken, Amy Kai and The captain, Amy, Ken and Kai looked worried, just like him but the captain, she just looked calm and sought of happy.

And I dont wanna go, go

I dont wanna go, go

I dont want it no, no

I dont wanna it no, no

I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cos I was so high

And now I'm so low

And I dont wanna walk around alone, solo

I said I dont want to walk this earth

If I gotta do it, solo (solo) solo.

Out of the corner of Mals eye he saw the curtain move, he just kept singing he was almost at the end of the song.

As mal finished the song Natara went and stood next to him, he hadn't seen her yet and as soon as the song finished he turned around and almost bowled her over.

" Natara?" mal asked surprised.

" yeah it is mal" she said with a smirk " I talked to Captain, she said I didn't have to leave, that I could stay but only if I was willing to become a detective, she would hire me straight away and I would still be your partner. I love my job and it didn't take me long to realise what I had to do, I have to stay, I love you more than my job mal, I can't leave and you singing, your song choice it made me realise it."

Mal stood staring at her, he was in shock for about 3 seconds before he picked her up around the waist, spun her around and kissed her until both of them had no breath left. The whole crowd stood up cheering and clapping and when they finally broke apart mal bent down and whispered,

"I love you"
