Hope's smile suddenly turned into a small frown when she was able to read the two names. She was hoping for this, but a little bit different than she hoped for.
"Who are they?" Sonia ask.
The monkey sighed and said, "Me and Apetrully."
Apetrully's cheeks suddenly turn dark pink as some of Hope's friends try to hide their laughter. Somehow, they don't know anything about Apetrully's crush on Hope, yet they kind of want to see them to be in a rather romantic position.
At least it might be a chance to finally show Apetrully's singing ability. Hope thought.
Should I kiss her and die of embarrassment or sing and show everyone I can sing? Apetrully thought, scratching the back of his head. Now that I think about it. The second one doesn't sound that bad.
"Which flavor do you want?" Hope ask him.
"Um... The chocolate banana flavor." Apetrully said.
"Good choice."
The two went over to the couch. Hope took out one of the pocky of the flavor put one end of it in her mouth. As the commander follow her directions with the other end of the pocky, he thought, I can't believe I'm doing this. Why did I decide to play the game!?
The pink and white monkey suddenly took out a sign that says, Ready?
"How did you get the sign?" Kowloon ask.
Hope turn the sign that says, Secret. She turn the sign back around to what it said before. Apetrully knew if he nod his head, he'll break the pocky and doesn't know what choice he's going to choose yet. So, he said, "Yeth!"
Hope put the sign down and begin to nibble at the her end of the pocky as Apetrully carefully nibble at his end. Slowly, their faces begin to get closer and closer. The flavor taste really good, but Apetrully doesn't want to get too close to his friend. The commander could see the members of Big Green looking kind of excited, as if they want them to kiss. Then he notice Hope looks just as nervous as him about this game with a rather red blush on her cheeks as he could feel their noses lightly touching each other. He seriously can't do this to her.
I guess singing in front of them isn't bad as I thought. Apetrully thought.
Before getting too close for a kiss, Apetrully suddenly break the pocky. Hope ate the rest of the broken piece of her pocky and slowly lick her lips with a smile on her face. With her hands togethers, she said this.
"I win!" Hope shouted. "You have to sing!"
"Okay." Apetrully said, somewhat relief to not kiss Hope.
Although, the game was a bit too close for comfort. Apetrully thought, thinking how close they were.
Hope went to her closet and pull out a blue boombox with white and black music notes decorated on it. When she turn it on, it played some music. The pink and white monkey smile at Apetrully as she points to him to sing. Apetrully sighed as the members of Big Green looks a bit confuse about this. They were pretty shocked when they hear this sound of music.
Apetrully: I used to rule the world the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in the enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead!
Long live the king"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt,
Pillars of sand
The members of Big Green were shocked to hear their commander singing. Very well too! Hope was bobbing her head to the music with a wider smile than before. She feels glad about doing the game.
A: I hear Jerusalem bells a' ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, ever a honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
Hope started to dance to the beat of the song as her friends watch.
A: It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
Apetrully started to dance with Hope as the members of Big Green smiled at their actions.
A: I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh ohhh ohhh)
The members of Big Green started to clap to the beat and cheer as Hope sang along with the commander.
A & H: Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never a honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Ooooooh oooooh oooooh
Apetrully and Hope bow as the music fades away. The commander heard Hope whisper to him, "Was that bad?"
Apetrully lifted his head to see the members smiling and thought, I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought before with a small smile.
"Alright, let's see who's next..." Hope said, sticking her furry hand in the hat and pulling out two pieces of paper with the names of the next victi- I mean people. Yeah, not victims at all.
