The Sing-off Part 2


Dukat glared at Quark as they made their way off the stage.

"That was stupid!" he hissed. "We'll never win with that!"

They waited for the score to appear on the screen: 7998.

Kira smirked. "Piece a cake."


Sisko and Dax watched with great amusement as Kira and Bashir stood with their backs to the audience and O'Brien stood to the side with his electric guitar. The music started softly.

"We'll be singing, when we're winning," Julian sang quietly. "We'll be singing..."

Kira and Bashir spun round and pointed at the crowd as Miles played his electric guitar loudly.

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!" they all yelled. "I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

Odo glowered at the doctor in disgust and resolved never to pick Quark again. Bashir was singing again.

"He sings the songs that remind him of the good times, he sings the songs that remind him of the better times!"

Kira picked up. "Oh, danny boy, oh danny booooooyyyy......"

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

Dax turned to Sisko. "Are there any other words to that song?"

Sisko grinned at Chief O'Brien as his head banged up and down as he hammered the guitar. "I think they're actually kinda good. It's kinda catchy... I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"


Bashir jumped off the stage and turned to wait for their score to flash up on the screen.

Kira smirked at Dukat again as she walked past.

"Nice chicken impression you did up there. For a minute, I almost thought you were Colonel Sanders."

He clenched his jaw and ignored her, looking instead at the screen as the score flashed up.


Mwahahaha! I'm going to keep you all in suspense for a little while longer... :)
