Been on holidays...

Thought of this while playing SingStar...

A/N: When Rhanee is singing it is ITALIC

When Cosmo is singing it is BOLD

When they are both singing it is ITALIC AND BOLD

Chapter 13: Kareoke Night

Pleakley

"I don't think thats such a good idea Jumba." I watched as my roommate pulled the chords out of the back of the microwave.

He looked up at me. "Why not?"

If I wasn't so small compared to him, I'd takle him to the ground for asking such a stupid question. "Because I don't wanna see you get electrocuted!" I eyed the sparking cords nervously.

"What he's really tryin' to say is dat he doesn't wanna have to explain to Nani why da microwaves broken and your lyin' on da floor twitchin' like a maniac."

Jumba frowned as his creation strolled into the room, and I watched as his his hand moved towards a spanner lying on the floor.

"Don't you dare!" I said, stepping forward.

He looked up at me before glaring at Cosmo. "What? Was not like Jumba was going to throw spanner at 631." he growled, making it completely obvious of what he wanted to do.

Cosmo raised an eyebrow. "Oh, dats nice! Fling some random object at ya creation! If dats how ya show affection, I'd hate to see what ya throw at Pleakers here."

"Don't call me Pleakers!" God, I hate that name!

"Ya'd probably chuck a couch at him, or a fridge."

Jumba clanceh his fists angrily, muttering in his native tongue, and I could see where the urge to throw the spanner came from.

Cosmo cleared his throat and sauntered over to where Jumba was working. "So...What'cha doin'?"

I watched my roommate glance sideways at his creation. "Am re-wiring Earth music player so is being louder."

"Its called a CD Player. And ya usin' da microwave?!

"Using cables from microwave." Jumba corrected. "They are being stronger that cables in CD Player."

Coamo rolled his eyes. "Ya so sad, Jumba." he turned to walk away. "Is all dat for Kareoke Night?"

"Yes."

"Oh great! Remind me not to come!"

A grin spread over my roommate's face. "Would be all too happy to do so." He watched as Cosmo disappeared from the room.

I looked at Jumba. "Doesn't he like Kareoke Night?"

"No."

"Why?"

"He is not liking the singing part."

"Now, I don't want tonignt to be like our last Kareoke Night." Nani warned me, handing me a bowl of popcorn

Rhanee and Cosmo looked up, their heads tilted to one side. "What happened last time?"

Nani frowned. "We had a call from the Police."

"Why?" Rhanee's eyebrows were raised.

"Someone had the music up way too loud." Nani glared at Jumba as she said 'some'.

A guilty look appeared over Jumba's face, and he scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Why is Bigger Girl bringing that up. Was three months ago...and Jumba apologised."

I grinned. He will never live that down.

Cosmo snickered. "Did ya get arrested?" he asked, almost excitedly.

I frowned. "No. Thank goodness." I handed the bowl of popcorn to 398, and he joined Stitch and Lilo on the couch. They'd only known each other for a couple of hours, but they were getting on really well....much to my relief. I watched them as they talked.

"So...your designed to eat gravy, and shoot it from your nose?" Lilo asked, taking a handfull of popcorn.

398 nodded, grinning. "Yeah. Pretty cool, huh?
Stitch nodded enthustastically. "Ih!" He stuffed two handfulls of popcirn into his mouth, chewing happily.

I inwardly frowned at the thought of all the extra cleaning I'd have to do. I can just see it now. Gravy dripping off the ceiling and puddles of it on the floor...Why does Jumba have to make experiments that make a mess??

I looked up as Jumba spoke. "Ok have re-wired CD Player and attached Video Screen." He leant against the wall, grinning.

Lilo frowned slightly. "Whats the Video Screen for?" she sounded confused. I don't blame her. If we're singing, what do we need a screen for?

Jumba sighed as if Lilo had asked the most stupidest question imaginable. "Is so you can be seeing words to song. The words are being colour coded, and as you are singing song, they are lighting up. Little Girl's colour is red, 626 is blue, 299 is yellow, 298 is brown, 631 is dark green, Pleakley's are light green, and Jumba's are purple."

Cosmo rolled his eyes. "And?"

"And," Jumba continued. "Is showing pictures of whoever will be singing song."
"Ya put my picture in there?!" Cosmo asked, his mouth dropping open. He pulled a pillow off the lounge and threw it a Jumba. "I hate ya."

Jumba chuckled. "Am knowing, 631." he picked up a strange looking remote and held it up for us to see. "Now. Have built remote so that you can be choosing if you are wanting teams, or if you are wanting to go alone. There is maximum of three people to a team." He handed the remote to Lilo, who stared down at it.

"Uhh, Jumba?"
"Mmm?"

"What's 'Randomise'?"

"Is for picking one player from each team at random, and they are having to sing song that is selected." Jumba explained, sitting down next to me on the couch and allowing 398 to climb onto his lap. He watched as Lilo pressed the 'Randomise' button, and the screen flicked on.

Two small squares appeared on either side of the screen, and I watched as our pictures flicked through the boxes. A few seconds passed and Rhanee's picture appeared in one of the boxes, and Cosmo's in another.

Both experiments glanced at each other with raised eyebrows, before turning their attention back to the screen.

I watched as the name of the song appeared on the screen, and I hid a snicker behind my hand. Jumba must habe been watching as well because he nudged me with his elbow.

"'Can't Help Fallin' In Love Wiv Ya'?" Cosmo read out, frowning. "What is dis?!"

Jumba blinked. "Is name of song you are singing with 399."

"Dat was a rhetorical question, idiot! And I don't wanna sing dat song!"

Rhanee rolled her eyes. "C'mon Cosmo. Its part of the game. Have a bit of fun." she slipped a small head microphone** on and stood in front of the screen.

Cosmo opened his mouth and her his tongue roll out, but climbed to his feet and took his head microphone.

Lilo and Stitch grinned at each other, and Lilo pressed another button on the remote, making the music start.

"Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I say would it be a sin"

"Be a sin"

"If I can't help falling in love with you"

"Like a river flows

To da sea

So it goes

Some tings are meant to be"

"Some things are meant to be"

I grinned as I noticed Cosmo bouncing slightly to the music, and Rhanee tapping her foot to the beat.

"Take my hand"

Take my hand

"Take my whole life to"

"Whole life to"

"For I can't help falling in love with you"

Rhanee spun around and brought her hands up in front of her like I'd seen Lilo do when she practiced Hula, and Cosmo turned to look at her, an eyebrow raised. She grinned when she met his gaze, and he smiled back.

"Wise men say only fools rush in

But I, I can't, I can't help

Falling in love"

"Fallin' in love"

"With you"

"Wiv you"

"Like a river flows

To da sea"

"So it goes

Some things are meant to be"

"Some tings are meant to be"

I watched, suprised, as Cosmo suddenly spun around and faced Rhanee. He had one hand behind his back, and the other he was holding out to Rhanee.

"Take my hand"

"Take my hand"

"Take my whole life to"

"Life too"

"For I can't help fallin' in love wiv ya"

"Take my hand"

"Take my hand"

Take my whole life to"

"Whole life to"

"For I can't help falling in love with you"

"Falling in love with you"

"For I can't help falling in love with you"

"Falling in love with you"

Jumba and I watched wide-eyed as Rhanee took Cosmo's hand, and he spun her around before supporting her with one hand as she leant backwards.

"Like a river flows

Dat's da way it goes

I just can't help fallin' in love wiv ya"

"Fallin' in love with you

Like a river flows"

"Yeah, yeah"

"That's the way it goes"

"Cause I can't help"

"Fallin' in love with you"

Rhanee stepped to the right, moving her arms to the left. She raised her left arm into the air and brought it gracefully down to meet her right. Cosmo stepped to the left, then to the right. He moved his arms in time with his steps before crossing his hands over and raising them into the air.

"Like a river flows

"I just can't help myself"

"That's the way it goes

I can't help falling in love with you

"Falling in love with you

Like a river flows"

"Yeah, yeah"

"That's the way it goes"

"Cause I can't help"

"Fallin' in love with you"

The music faded out and I looked over at Lilo and Stitch. They were sitting there with their mouths hanging open in suprise. I glanced at Jumba, who was staring wide-eyed at his experiments, before turning my attention back to them.

They were both looking at us nervously. "What?" Cosmo asked, glancing at Rhanee out of the corner of his eye.

"You...You just danced. With Rhanee." Lilo said, finding her voice.

Cosmo exchanged looks with Rhanee and smiled. "Yeah. So?"

"Cousin naga do that before." Stitch tilted his head, an eyebrow raised.

Rhanee put her hands behind her back. "It was only a bit of fun." there was a tinge of red on her cheeks.

398, who was still sitting on Jumba's lap, leapt to his feet. "See? What'd I tell ya! I bet they're Buchee-Bu!" he pointed at Cosmo and Rhanee excitedly.

Cosmo snorted. "I...highly doubt dat, 398. I tink ya brains a bit scrambled."

Jumba rolled his eyes. "Am starting to see 398's perspective..."
Cosmo glared daggers at Jumba.

"But...will see what happens over time, eh?"

*yawn*

I had to write the lyrics to the song from listening to it on the computer.

Not easy when you have to get the backup singers.

** I didn't know what the microphones that singers wear in their heads were called...

But their like the ones that The Wiggles wear...

:D
