(I forgot to mention that I don't own V.A. as I'm sure you all know! Rights goes to fantastic Richelle Mead)
Having both of my parents in the Academy was a little frustrating. Janine kept following me around like I was a 6 year old and Abe kept talking about how much he missed me through the years. I secretly didn't mind having them around-hey what can I say I never had them around! Lissa kept asking me about the songs that I would choose to sing at the karaoke tonight but I really didn't have any idea.
"Come on Rose!" she said signing frustrated "you can't expect me to believe that you will go up the stage without having any idea on what you are going to sing!"
"Yep…" I grinned at her "that's pretty much the plan"
"What about you Adrian?" I asked him so Lissa can stop bagging me.
"I can't tell you my little Dhampir" he said winking at me "that would ruin my plan"
"Eddie?" I asked him hoping he would give me an idea or something.
"I will sing a rock ballad and I will dedicate it to Mason" he gave me a small smile but I could see hurt in his eyes when he mentioned Mason.
"That's so sweet Eddie" Lissa said and gave him a hug.
"So what about you cousin?" Adrian asked Lissa bringing our full attention to her.
"I'm going to duet with Christian" she said grinning at Christian. "we are going to sing…"
"A love song" we all said in union and started laughing with ourselves.
"That would be correct!" Lissa giggled.

15 before the Karaoke Party
Someone knocked my door. Well knocked is a very kind word to use. They actually kept banging till I opened it. Eddie was standing there with an amused expression on his face.
"Very funny" I said sarcastically.
He just shrugged his shoulders and went to sit in my bed. He would be my date for the Karaoke so he came to escort me there. I went to the bathroom to finish with my make-up and to finally get dressed. I decided to keep it simple but elegant so I chose to wear a black dress that reached mid tight and black stilettos and my hair would hang down on my shoulders. I got out of the bathroom and I saw Eddie's eyes grow bigger before he readjust his features.
"Not a good time to think about me naked Castile!" I said grinning evilly.
"Why would you say that? I think it's a very good time to think about you naked since we are at your room alone!" that got me giggling.
He offered me his arm and I took him after I elbowed him for his comment.
"You still don't know what you will sing?" he asked as we walked towards the gym where the Karaoke would be held.
"I really don't and Liss wants me to sing at least 3 songs…" I made a sad face but deep inside me I had missed singing.
We were sited and then Kirova entered the stage.
"Good evening Students and Guardians!" she welcomed us "we are gathered here to have a Karaoke night as you are all aware of. Novices enjoy yourselves today because in two days Field Experience begins." We heard a lot of mumblings but she shushed them and she continued "well since I'm the headmistress of this Academy I find it right that I'll start the night!"
There were a lot of clapping and many voices shouting things like "You go Kirova" and stuff.
The music started to play and left me with my mouth hanging open. The song was Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd.
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would hurt the children any way they could
A boring ready region upon anything we did exposing every weakness how the kid did bye the kid (laughter)
Out in the middle of nowhere they were home at night with friends, psychopathic wads would flash down with a inches of their lives
(beat)
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the class room
Teachers leave those kids alone
(yells) Hey, teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all, it's just
Another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just
Another brick in the wall
(we sang along)
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the class room
Teachers leave those kids alone
(yells) Hey, teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all, it's just
Another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just
another brick in the wall
(beat)
If u don't eat your meat u can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if u don't eat your meat
If u don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding
How can u have any pudding if u don't eat your meat
If u don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding
How can u have any pudding if u don't eat your meat
Ok that was something. I really didn't expect Kirova to sing in the first place but even if I did I wouldn't expect her to sing Pink Floyd!!!
"Wow" was all I said before I hear Eddies name being called up.
I cheered for him and clapped hard.
"Hey guys!" he said "seems like I'm the first one to sing" he tried to make a joke but I could see he was a little distressed. "Well this song is for my best friend Mase. Mason wherever you are know that we still love you"
When I heard the music I felt tiers steaming down my cheeks. Lissa saw me and came to hug me. It was Watching over Me by Iced Earth.
I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear, He's watching me
Guiding me through hard times
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the winds
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
By the end of the song my face was covered in tiers. I could see Eddie was crying too. I ran and hugged him bringing both of us down. He laughed by my eagerness to hug him but he hugged me back. I could feel his sadness and how much he missed Mason.
"Thank you" I whispered to his ear.
He just nodded and helped me up showing me to our seats.
Suddenly I felt Lissa's fear but I quickly calmed when I heard that her name and Christian's were called. I was wondering what they had picked to sing.
"Ha! Pay up Ivashkov!" Eddie shouted at Adrian.
Lissa and Christian told Eddie and Adrian the songs they might choose and apparently Eddie and Adrian made a bet out of it.
The song playing was I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You by Tina Arena & Marc Anthony
(Christian started)
Moon so bright night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming
(Lissa)
Race the moon catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day stand up for the light
(Both)
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
(Christian)
Heroes rise heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
(Lissa)
In your heart, can't you feel the glory
Through our joy, through our pain
(Both)
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
(Christian)
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love,(Both) life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
They kissed and we cheered for them. Lissa blushed a little and Christian seemed to enjoy himself.
"Lissa, Christian! That was great really…" I told them hugging Lissa and I even gave Christian a small smile.
"Look who is talking about." Lissa said amused "we haven't heard you still missy" she smiled evilly.
"Well I haven't heard my name yet so…" I turn when I heard Jesse's name being called up.
"Is he for real?" Adrian asked annoyed.
"Apparently" I said laughing.
Music started but before we could understand which song was playing Jesse asked them to stop.
"I'm sorry guys the problem is that I don't have my partner with my up here as you can see. She decided not to come up the last minute. Literally!" he gave a death glare to Camille and he continued "so I would like to ask Rose to come up here to sing with me!"
"What?" Adrian and I shouted together.
"Come on Rose you have such a great voice…won't you help someone in need?" he gave what I could say sweet smile and showed me the stage.
I groaned but I walked to the stage.
"What are we singing?" I whispered to Jesse when I was on stage.
"You wait and see" he grinned at me.
The music started and I really wanted to disappear from the stage. Then again since I was on stage I would have my fun. The song was Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard. I didn't even know Jesse heard that kind of music.
(Jesse started and I was moving with the rhythm of the song)
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
(Me)
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
(Jesse)
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Hey!C'mon,
(Both)
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
(Me while all the boys were looking at me I was putting a great show shaking my ass slowly and my hands up and down to the sides of my body)
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
(Jesse)
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
(me while squeezing different parts of my body)
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
(Both)
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
(Me looking towards Adrian and grinning)
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
[while there was the guitar solo I was dancing to the rhythm of the song](me)
You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
(Jesse)
Do you take sugar? one lump or two?
(Both)
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me
Ooh
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah! Sugar me!
The song ended and I quickly ran off the stage not wanting Jesse to hug me. It was really fun seeing how all eyes were on me. I looked Adrian and smiled at him. What? Today I will have my fun even if that means that I'm going to make Adrian Ivashkov happy. At least now I knew what would be my next song!
[I hope you guys like it! Review please!!! What do you think Rose should sing though I already know I want to hear your opinions and what do you think Adrian will sing to Rose?]
