Reaper: Hey there, well I got this one done as fast as possible because I'm about to be swamped by work, school and practice. This is just to get it off of my chest so I don't forget it later.
Takato: Oh yeah, you told me about two-a-days. Your dead, plain and simple.
Reaper: Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence. Anyway, today I'm going to announce our newest co-host, so everyone give a big round of applause for...Jaden Yuki!
(Crickets chirp)
Takato: Ok...where the hell is he?
(Door to the right bursts open and Jaden falls through)
Jaden: Hey, sorry I'm late guys. I was held up by Alexis and couldn't find my Winged Kuriboh card.
Reaper: Don't worry about. Anyway, just to let the rest of you know, this is a song fic, sort of, but hopefully you will like it. Before we get started, I would like to say, the main Tamers(Takato, Rika, Henry) are in high school, about 16, and that there is one swear word in it. But this is rated T so I should be good. And Jaden, you get the quote today.
Jaden: Sweet! Ok, where's that card, here it is! Today's quote is from somewhere on the Internet, or one of his friends, '2012 is the year the Mayans decided to stop building gigantic stone calenders by hand' and enjoy the chapter.
Karaoke Night: Takato POV
This is bad, this is really, really bad. What was so bad you ask? Well, we were all at Jeri's restaurant and tonight we're going to test her new Karaoke machine and all of us, even Ryo were here. They just got and most people thought it would be a good idea. But when you mix in Digimon, Tamers' of said Digimon, random selection, and well...Rika, things are going to end badly.
"Okay then Takato, go to the hat, pick out a paper and choose a song." Jeri instructed me. She was happy to try out the new machine and normally we would all agree with her but when she asked us to try it our, some of us panicked. She doesn't remember Kazu's and Kenta's 'singing'.
"A-alright then." I stammered. The rules were simple for tonight. We pick a name out of the hat, find something about that person that's interesting or noticable and pick a song to express that. And at the end, we tell everyone who that person is. So I put my hand in and took out a random piece of paper an looked at the name.
'Rika?' I thought. Okay...this just went from bad to worse. 'Calm down Takato, you can do this. You've faced down Mega level Digimon and a program that wanted to annihilate the world. You can handle a song to Rika.' I gave myself a pep talk. It sorta worked and I listed the things that were interesting. I came to a conclusion on the first one. Her eyes.
I walked up to the machine and looked through the songs and found the one I was looking for. Thank goodness I listen to a lot of american music. I selected it and picked up the microphone and I grinned internally, looking at the lyrics screen. Not that I needed it, I know it by heart.
The sound of drums, and an electric guitar and bass went through the restaurant and I couldn't help jumping slightly and banging my head to the beat, apparently, the others were surprised at the song.
"I hold on so nervously, to rid my drink
I wish it was cooling me, but so far it's not been good
It's been shitty, and I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing, since I thought
you and me, Well I'm imagining a dark lit place
Or your place or my place"I sang the first bit, going mostly in tone and somehow I locked eyes with Rika. I grinned at the next part and started to dance like in the video a little more.
"Well I'm not paralyzed But,
I seem to be struck by you, I want to make you move
Because your standing still, If you body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you." the chorus seemed to get the others into the song as well and they started to head bang a little or clap to the beat.
"I hold on to one more drink, before I think
That I'm looking too desperately
But so far it's not been fun, I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me, Well I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place"
Now, some were really getting into it but it seemed that Rika was try to think of something. But I was too into the song to really take notice.
"Well I'm not paralyzed but,
I seem to be struck by you, I want to make you move
Because your standing still, If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you."
Here there was a bit of just the instruments, giving me a small break.
"Well I'm not paralyzed but,
I seem to be struck by you, I want to make you move
Because you standing still, If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you."
"I'm not paralyzed but,
I seem to be struck by you, I want to make you move
Because you standing still, If you body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you."
By this time, I had already moved forward so that I was standing in front of Rika mostly. But it looked normally to everyone else.
"You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you."
Now I was actually in front of her, and she got wide-eyed.
"You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you."
And with that the song ended and I stepped back to the main part of the machine.
"That was great Takato, who was it for?" Ryo asked, and everyone nodded their heads, except for Rika, Renamon, and for some reason Guilmon.
"Uh...well...the song was for Rika. I hop you liked it." I blushed as I answered and went to sit down. When I looked back after I sat down, I saw the rarest thing in the world. Rika gave me a small, true smile and a nod. And just before she looked away, she muttered something and winked.
"I'm sorry for what I did in the past." Is what I think she said.
Reaper: And there you have it. In case you were wondering, the song is 'Paralyzer' by Finger Eleven. There is a music video of it on youtube if you want to get an idea of the dancing Takato did.
Jaden: Sweet song man, even Kuriboh was getting into it. But why this one and today?
Takato: The today is easy, he's got two-a-days and school will be starting soon and he's the first vacation in years coming in the next two weeks so he'll be pretty busy for a while. Good thing for me, I'll be safe for that amount of time.
Reaper:(Glares at Gogglehead) Anyway, the why is because I love this song and had it stuck in my head for weeks and then this popped in my head so, BOOM! Fast update out of no where. Also, either 'All Four' will be updated or the second part of 'Role Reversal' is next though it may take a while. I also bet none of you can figure out where the rest of the inspiration for this song came from. A free bunny if you can guess.
Thank you and have a nice day,
The Reaper.
