Part 9 of the karaoke adventure!

"Right everyone it's time for the big finish!" Sisko yelled. "Everyone on the stage just like we practised!"

The crew hurried onto the stage and took their positions with their back to the remaining audience.

A holographic piano appeared complete with player in a tux. Sisko nodded to him and the lights dimmed, leaving only a white spotlight on Sisko. The pianist began to play. Sisko turned to face the stage.

"Turn around," he sang.

"Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round," Dax sang, her back still to the audience.

"Turn around."

"Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears..."

"Turn around..."

Dax turned to face the audience and walked forward to stand next to Sisko.

"Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by..." she sang.

"Turn around."

The spotlight switched to Odo as he began to sing. Kira joined in.

"Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes..."

Another spotlight shone brightly down on Sisko as both men sang: "Turn around, bright eyes."

"Every now and then I fall apart," Kira and Dax chimed in.

"Turn around, bright eyes."

"Every now and then I fall apart..."

A drum set and player appeared at the side beside the piano and began to play as the four officers burst into the chorus.

"And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever!" they all sang.

"And if you'll only hold me tight," Odo crooned.

"We'll be holding on forever!" Kira and Dax replied.

"And we'll only be making it right," Sisko sang.

"Cause we'll never be wrong together..."

"We can take it to the end of the line, your love is like a shadow on me all of the time!" Sisko and Dax chanted.

"All of the time..." Kira echoed.

"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, we're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks..."

The rest of the crew turned round and began to sway as they joined in.

"I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight, forever's gonna start tonight..."

The spotlight switched to O'Brien as the rest of the crew turned around again.

"Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only fallin apart," he sang. "There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart."

Keiko turned around to stand beside her husband and smiled up at him. "Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark. Nothing I can do, total eclipse of the heart."

The spotlight switched to a sad looking Julian. "Turn around..."

He winced as Morn turned. "Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild."

"Turn around," Julian muttered. Morn glanced at him before singing the next line.

"Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms..."

"Turn around," he grunted.

Morn hesitated. "... now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry."

"Turn around," Odo broke in, singing over an astonished Julian. Kira glanced at Odo and raised her eyebrows as she sang the next line.

"Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes..."

Julian watched open mouthed as Odo sang his lines. What the heck was he doing?

"Turn around, bright eyes."

"Every now and then I fall apart!"

Once more the rest of the crew turned round to sing the chorus. Bashir was still standing with his mouth open and Quark nudged him sharply in the ribs.

"Sing!" he hissed.

Bashir mouthed the lines half-heartedly as the song drew to a close and the audience cheered loudly.

As the crew filtered off the stage Bashir grabbed Odo. "What did you do that for?"

"You weren't singing properly," Odo answered stiffly. "I was doing what I thought was best for the group."

"The hell you were!" Julian exploded.

Sisko marched up the arguing men. "What is going on here?"

Both men turned to the captain and began to whine at the same time.

"He wouldn't let me sing and I wanted to sing! Why won't you let me sing?!" Julian wailed.

"He was dragging the whole performance down, we would have been a laughing stock!" Odo stormed.

Sisko held his hands up. "All right, all right! There's only one way to settle an arguement like this... a sing-off."

This chapter wasn't really meant to be funny just in case you're confused :) more ridiculous...
