Karaoke

"Are you two gonna perform for us?" Eric asked. Speed and Ryan looked at each other.

"Speed has brought his cello but the piano was a bit too big to bring." Ryan said.

"That's okay we can get an interactive keyboard on the surface computer." Dave said. "Nothing is going to make us miss one of your performances.

"Fine." Speed said with an exaggerated sigh.

"Great come on then." Rick said as he tugged on Ryan's arm. The duo allowed themselves to be dragged over to AV where they set up.

"I'm dreaming of a white, Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten,
and children listen,
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white, Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white."

The group clapped as the duo finished off the song. Ryan whispered something to Speed who nodded.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.
Take a look at the 5 and 10, it's glistening once again,
with candy canes and silver lanes that glow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, toys in every store.
But the prettiest sight you'll see, is the holly that will be,
on your own, front door.

A pair of hop along boots and pistol that shoots,
is the wish of Barney and Ben.
A doll that will talk and will go for a walk,
is the hope of Janice and Jen.
Mom and dad can hardly wait,
for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.
There's a tree in the grand hotel, one in the park as well,
it's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, soon the bells will start.
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing,
from within, your heart."

"Can you do another one?" Alexx asked. Ryan and Speed sighed.

"I knew this was a bad idea." Ryan said. "They'll have us singing and playing all night."

"Just one more." Calleigh said. "This is the last one we promise."

"Yeah then we can get the karaoke out!" Valera exclaimed.

"Okay this is the last one." Speed said.

"Have yourself, a merry little Christmas.
May your heart be light.
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself, a merry little Christmas.
Make the Yule-tide gay.
From now on, our troubles will be far away.

Here we are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends, who are dear to us,
gather near to us, once more.

Through the years, we all will be together.
If the fates allow.
Hang a shining, star upon the highest bow.
And have yourself, a merry little Christmas now."

"That was beautiful babies." Alexx said.

"Yeah you two rock." Walter agreed.

"KARAOKE!" Maxine screamed. The group set up the karaoke machine and took it in turns to sing different songs.

"And I'm walking on sunshine, Oh ooooh." Maxine sang or rather wailed. Michael winced as Maxine tried to hit the high notes and failed; badly.
