...Everyone still alive...

RoadRage: yeah...

good...well...sorry about the wait...

RoadRage: what happened?

...ideas...

RoadRage: ...alright.

Prowl: is this done YET?

nope!

Jazz: *grins*

NightCat: I am glad we can come back!

KitKat: yeah well if you hadn't drank that bottle of medicine...

NightCat: okokok i get it

*shakes head* oh NightCat...

RoadRage: *sighs*

Jazz: now...shouldn't we...

oh right! ...ahem...

RoadRage: why not let Prowl say it?

aww...

Jazz: yeah! Prowler should say it!

Prowl: *sighs* Alright. The two authoresses do not own Transformers except for their own Original Characters. Nor do they own the songs sung.

NightCat: *hugz* that was great! ur adorable!

KitKat: N.C. control yourself please... oh well on with the show!

*snickers*

Jazz: *snickers*

RoadRage: *nods* let's...and also, the songs were suggested by MISCrasyaboutfanfics.

Everyone, including the two Earth-stationed femmes, listened along as Grapple began singing. He wasn't half-bad concluded the femmes, as well as some of the others. Some notes off-key, but it wasn't horrible.

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

But as the yellow mech sang, the two femmes, and even the Lamborghinis, began thinking.

And in the Twins' processors, plotting to use the singing voices as blackmail. It would sweet blackmail. Perfect.

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonderin' when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

/Remind me to send a copy of Prowl's singing to Jazz later/ Sideswipe sent to his brother. The yellow Lamborghini glanced at his twin, optic bridge raised.

/Why would…nevermind/ Sunstreaker muttered through their twin bond. Sideswipe snorted a bit.

Sometimes it was better not to ask.

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

/Ya know what I just realized?/ RoadRage sent to her jaguar friend.

/What?/ the said femme asked, still watching Grapple sing.

RoadRage sighed and answered, /After Grapple, Hoist will be left. Then…no one. Everyone else had sung already./ There was then silence between them.

This was true. Both sighed. The fun would soon end.

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in time
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

To take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly,
or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

Once the mech had finished singing, everyone clapped and cheered. Then the next mech took the stage after Grapple. It was Hoist.

The Lamborghinis glanced over to the Earth-bound femmes, who glanced over as well. This one was the last.

Sometimes You think You'll Be Fine by Yourself
Cause a Dream is a Wish You Make all alone
Its Easy to Feel Like You Dont Need Help
But Its Harder To Walk On Your Own

You'll Change Inside
When You Realize

The World Comes To Life
and Everything's bright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are
When You'll Open Your Heart and
Believe in
The Gift of a Friend
The Gift of a Friend

Someone Who knows When Your Lost and Your Scared
There through The Highs and The Lows
Someone you can Count On
Someone Who Cares
Besides You Where Ever You Go

You'll Change Inside
When You Realize
The World Comes To Life
and Everythings bright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side
That Helps You To Find
The Beauty you are
When You'll Open Your Heart and
Believe in
The Gift of a Friend

And When your Hope Crashes Down
Shattering To The Ground
You, You Feel All Alone
When You Don't Know Which Way To Go
And There's No signs Leading You home
You're Not Alone

Hoist had just finished the song when the alarms for an attack went off. Most of everyone there groaned , not wanting to battle now, but still headed out. A few mechs and femmes were left behind to watch the base. The two Earth-bound femmes were one of the ones left.

RoadRage sighed and muttered, "Let's go scout around. Just in case." NightCat nodded and transformed down into her jaguar alt.-mode. RoadRage un-subspaced her blaster, and they both headed out of the Rec. Room.

A little later, after they had left, Ravage stalked out of a dark corner, carrying two cassettes in his jaw. He placed them on the ground and backed away, giving room for the twin cassettes to transform. Once they had, Ravage told them he would be off to get information. They nodded and watched the catbot bound away. Then they looked around.

Rumble spotted it first. It was curious.

"What's that?" he asked, pointing to the karaoke machine. Frenzy shrugged and watched as his twin walked closer to the machine. The black and red cassette rolled his optics from behind his red visor and followed his twin. The purple and blue mech was examining the machine.

"So, they sing from this machine? Why would anyone would want to do that?" Frenzy muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. Then he glanced over to the exit of the room, then back to his twin, who was grinning. "What?"

Then the other cassette said, still with a grin on his faceplate, "We should take it!" Frenzy rolled his optics once more.

"Why?"

Rumble then replied, rolling his optics behind his visor and sighing, "Be-Cause…just…whatever, I'm taking it." Then the purple and blue mech grabbed the karaoke machine and subspaced it.

Then they both heard a voice from outside the Rec. Room yell, "There's Ravage! Get 'im!"

The twin cassettes looked at each other, and they then headed away to get out.

RoadRage and NightCat then ran in and looked around. Nothing seemed out of place, but they had still lost sight of Ravage. RoadRage sighed, while the jaguar femmes still looked around.

At first, they didn't notice, then NightCat said, "Where's the karaoke machine?"

Well...now the Decepticons have taken the karaoke machine...what would happen next...*snickers*...

RoadRage: you don't mean...

*nods* yep! KitKat knows what I mean...and also…the songs sung were 'One Step at a Time' by Jordin Sparks and 'Gift of a Friend' by Demi Lovato.

Jazz: what?

Prow: what does it mean...

KitKat: it means now we have to tell stories about the Decepticon version of karaoke night... hehehe

NightCat: ooooooooooooooo

*nods* yeah...and also...something else...remember who gets to sing first?

*snickers*

RoadRage: yeah...starts a M...

Ahem!

Jazz: what are you talkin' about?

no one...just who is singin'...

Prowl: *sighs*

KitKat: well you'll just have to find out!

NightCat: ooooooooooo i know who it is! it's...

KitKat: no N.C. you'll ruin the surprize!

*nods* yeah...so...till the next and last chapter of Karaoke Night...well...technically the Autobot version...

Jazz: see ya.

Prowl: *nods* good-bye

NightCat & KitKat: bye!
