Chapter 4 - Japanese Railways
Tommy and Kimi decided to go to 'Sushi Palace'. When they got there, it was no other than Karaoke Night. They both like to sing. So after when they have dinner, they told people who they like to come up and sing. Kimi was nervous but Tommy put his hand up.
"Kimi film me. The red button there that's the record button and you press it again to pause. OK?" he asked.
"OK Tommy" she said. The song that Tommy was going to sing is 'I'm Still Standing' by Elton John, Kimi's favorite song. "This goes to my girlfriend Kimi Finster. This is her favorite song" and Tommy grabbed the microphone and soon he started singing.
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Everyone was cheering and Kimi was almost swept in tears. Then she put her hand up.
"This song is for Tommy!" she said and blew him a kiss.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
The two laughed and cheered. Until it was time to head back to the hotel. "Don't forget Kimi, tomorrow we're going to The Railway Museum at Saitama." said Tommy.
BACK IN VEGAS
"Woohooo!" shouted Phil. "I won!" and he had bags of nickels nearly three! Chuckie was having some drinks and he was nearly drunk. Lil was having less fun. She was feeling gulity about using a fake I.D to get play in Vegas.
"When we get home next week" she said to herself. "I'm going sherd these!" and went off in the casino. While she was in the lights of the poker machines glisten her eyes, the sound of poker machines having three wins was music to her ears. "Ohhh I think I little bit of fun won't hurt" she said to herself.
While she played the poker machines she had her first win and she played again and again. Phil and Chuckie came over and saw Lil playing.
"Uh Lil it's time to go?" he asked. "Lil, Lil" ...LIL!" he shouted. Lil was shocked.
"Er..um..yes Phil?" she asked.
"It's time to go and...are you..gambling?" he laughed a little bit and Lil have no choice but to admit defeat.
"You got me" she murmured. Phil and Chuckie were sniggering but Lil gave them an evil look then she turned to Phil. "If you tell mom that I was gambling, it's going to be your head!" Phil was quiet for the rest of the evening.
BACK IN JAPAN
Both Tommy and Kimi were amazed at the Railway Museum. There were preserved steam, electric and diesel locomotives and rolling stock showcasing the wonderful history locomotion. Tommy and Kimi were both excited that there jaws dropped as soon as they went inside!
At the main exhibition, there was a steam locomotive on the turntable moving around for the people to see.
"This is one of the best railway museums that I have ever seen!" he said while filming. There were even simulators and they both have lots of fun until it was time for the museum to close. Both Tommy and Kimi loved the museum and they had a splendid time.
