A/N: If you haven't seen 2X09 yet, I won't spoil anything, BUT IT WAS AMAZING AND IF YOU SAW IT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY. In light of it all, here's some cracky Evlynn to make your Monday brighter. Enjoy LITs!
Chapter 21: All I Want for Christmas is You
The Librarians and Guardian were in the middle of their "office" Christmas party. Ezekiel was currently fiddling with switches and wires to try and hook up the new karaoke machine they'd bought in the theatre.
Jake and Cassandra were acting sickeningly sweet, as new couples will do, and were sitting by the snack table, feeding each other the Christmas cookies they'd baked together.
Eve and Flynn were off to the side, talking, and drinking way too much Eggnog for their own good. They'd lost count of how many cups they'd had a long time ago: and it wasn't virgin eggnog either.
"Got it!" Jones shouted, the symbol of the karaoke machine finally appearing on the screen, followed by a menu of various songs.
"Come on!" Eve shouted, grabbing Flynn's arm and dragging him towards the TV. "We've got dibs on first song!"
"Yes!" Flynn exclaimed. No one cared to note that his tie was currently wrapped around his head. He turned to face the other Librarians. "Everyone take your seats. You are about to witness a masterpiece"
Cassandra sat perched on Jake's lap and Ezekiel walked over to stand with them.
"Exactly how much have they had to drink?" she whispered.
"Enough to ensure they're totally wasted" Jake replied, trying to stifle his laughter.
"This is gonna be great" Ezekiel said.
From the TV, a familiar intro of a vibraphone began to play. Cassandra covered her face to hide her laughter. They could not have picked a song that would have made this more hysterical. Eve began singing first, drunkedly belting into the mic
"IIIIIII Don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need"
Flynn continued next, switching between keys multiple times during his one line.
"I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas Tree"
"I just want you for my own, moooore than you could ever know."
"Make my wish come truuuuuuuee" Flynn attempted to hit Mariah's high note and failed miserably, although he didn't seem to notice, simply continuing to sing. For the final line, the two sang together.
"All I want for Christmas, iiiiiiiss yoooooou"
The familiar combination of sleigh-bells and piano began to play, and both Eve and Flynn began to bop around wildly. The three remaining Librarians had not turned their gaze from the scene for one second.
"You're getting this on film right?" Jake asked, leaning past Cassandra to whisper in Ezekiel's ear.
"Of course mate" he replied, already holding up his smartphone to capture the moment for all eternity.
The song was well underway now, and Eve and Flynn were facing each other, screaming every lyric at the top of their lungs.
"I DON'T NEED TO HANG MY STOCKING THERE UPON THE FIREPLACE, SANTA CLAUS WON'T MAKE ME HAPPY WITH A TOY ON CHRISTMAS DAY"
"Cause I just want you here tonight" Eve sang
"Holding on to me so tight" On this line, Flynn moved over and grabbed Eve around the waist.
"What more can I do?" It was Eve's turn to crack on the high note now
"ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU"
"Wrong words mates!" Ezekiel called, though they didn't even notice him. "That's the next verse!"
"And the words are right there too" Jake worried.
"Are they going to remember any of this in the morning?" Cassandra whispered.
"I doubt it" Ezekiel said. "But we'll make them remember if they don't" He indicated the camera in his hands.
Cassandra hid her eyes now, overcome by embarrassment. The couple was dancing like lunatics while they sang, and their voices were growing more and more off-key by the minute.
"I'm gonna go put away the eggnog" Cassandra suggested.
"I think you better" Jake agreed. The couple left, while Jones stayed glued to the spot and continued filming, taking Jake's now vacant seat.
A/N: So when I was first thinking about this fic, karaoke was always at the top of the idea list, as we saw in Baby Its Cold Outside. It was my friend Aubrey who suggested the drunk karaoke thing, and so this happened. Hope you've all had a wonderful first day of Christmas week. "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" tomorrow. Bye!
