A/N : It seems that Shadow's Party Girl 96 likes the songs by Guns N' Roses…
Okay, here comes the next gig!

Chapter 9 : Imagining Your Child?
The Fox-boy's lab is a mess…
That's what Silver was thinking when he entered Levinski's basement. Unlike his Twin-tailed brother's tidy and neat lab, Levinski's was really poor, although the techs could match Tails' or even Eggman. He just didn't decorate the labs with probably some fine painting, just cement smoothed down to prevent accident scratches from the sharp stones. Levinski did the functionality and safety more than the looks.
Still, he could just give it some color or something.
Of course there's no awful stench inside the room. Although doesn't look tidy, the lab IS tidy in a manner of speaking. Just… it's not beautiful.
Then again, a lab's function is not to be beautiful.
So here he was, along with the fox himself. They were sitting on a sofa watching 2 purple cats choosing a song for a Pro-Face off play. It seemed like Blaze didn't like any of the songs.
"Slow Ride?"
"Too easy."
"One?"
"Too Hard"
"My Name is Jonas?"
"Your name is not Jonas"
Starlight rolled her eyes at the ridiculous response.
"Cult of Personality?"
"Nah…"
"Through the Fire and Flames?"
"Hell no!"
"Impulse?"
"There's no lyric for that."
"Okay! Sweet Child o' Mine, period!"
"Isn't that Guitar Hero II's song?" asked Blaze.
"Well, we downloaded the song from the net"
Okay,then. By the way, do you happen to have any child? You seem to like this song."
"WHAT?" Starlight's face turned red.
"Hey, I'm just joking… are we going to play or not?"
"Right." said Starlight, adjusting her controller.
Starlight || Blaze – Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses
Both feline prepared for the incoming notes as their fretboards landed on the screen. The song started with instrumental intro. As her star power was ready Starlight quickly activated it to double her scores.
As the intro came to an end, another star power notes appeared again and this time Starlight played her whammy to fill her star power, resulting it to be ready again. Blaze was dumbfounded as the purple feline activated one more Star Power, her score was far behind now.
# She's got a smile~.
It seems- to me
Reminds me of childhood- memories
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky~ #
It was now hold chords. Blaze tried to catch up with her whammy played. Unfortunately, Star's whammy was played faster.
# Now and- then- when I see her face
She takes me away to that- special place
And if I'd stare- too- long
I'd probably break down and cry #
The short chorus started to play, though actually was same as the intro.
# O~h, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine…
O~h, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine…#
Starlight almost reached the Star Power limit. Blaze quickly used the opportunity to catch up by activating her Star Power, a long one as she hadn't used it yet.
The notes were filled with holds, in which both felines used their whammy to get the higher score.
# She's got eyes~ of the bluest skies
As if they- thought of rain
I hate to look into- those eyes~
I see an ounce~ of pain #
The notes were almost all the same, making it easy to hit as there was no fast hammer on.
# Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thun-der and the- ra-in
To quickly pass me by
O~h, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine…
O~h, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love o' mine…#
There was a different pattern, all holds. The notes were more complicated as there were some zig-zags and hammer ons. Blaze started to miss some.
# Ooh! Oh, oh, oh yeah~
Oh, whoa, whoa whoa!
Sweet child o' mine…
Oh, whoa, whoa whoa
Sweet love o' mine… #
The chorus then went back to the last one.
# Oh- whoa- whoa- whoa, whoa-
Sweet child o' mine…
Oh yeah!
oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love o' mine… #
The song entered some easy solo for the guitar. As Blaze acquired her new Star Power, she quickly activated it. But much to her dismay, the horde of notes coming was full of the Hammer ons, complex ones. She quickly lost her multiplier again whereas Starlight continued to FC-ed the song and looked like he was going to FC them.
As the song was turned to silence, Blaze let her guard down, thinking it was over.
It wasn't.
Just as she was about to lie down, some red notes appeared. "Wait, not over yet?" Blaze exclaimed as she was almost failed to strum the note, almost.
# (Where do we go)
(Where do we go) now
Where do we go~?
Ooo, Where do we go now?
It was repeated over and over again, the lyrics, making Starlight and Blaze a bit bored with it as the singer sang the same phrase again and again, only with small alteration between one and another.
# Ow! Where do we go~?
Oh, sweet child
Where do we go now? #
The notes turned into zig-zag pattern
# Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now?
A~h, Where do we go?
O~h, Where do we go now?
A~h, Where do we go~~~?
Oh! Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
O~h aw~, Where do we go now?
No, no, no, no, no, no! (A/N : Seriously, I thought he said 'aw aw aw aw aw aw'. Almost wrote it before checking lyrics. :p)
Sweet chi-i-ld
Swee~t chi~~~~ld of mi~~~~ne! #
/Player One Rocks!\
The victorious feline jumped up, raising her fist while the defeated was sulking with her guitar controller on her lap.
"Don't worry, Blaze. You're good for a starter" said Silver, "I mean, I couldn't play as good as you are. You almost FC'ed it."
"Yeah, thanks Silver."
Meanwhile, Starlight received a hug from Levinski. "I know you can do it, Star!"
"Thanks! That song's good, but the intro needs to be harder."
"Hey, don't get cocky. By the way, were you imagining your child?"
"W-what? I'm not even married yet! How can I imagine my Nata-"
"Oooh busted."
"H-hey!"
"Just kidding, how 'bout you and me on BYOB?"
"Oh, no!" suddenly a voice said from behind, "That would be OUR play!"
A/N : As always, I hear and read the lyrics, so you'll expect those 'whoa!' or 'aw!' or 'ay!'. I do try to count them as EXACT as possible. You know, I was, or am in the Science division of High School (yeah, actually I was on the planned-to-be-international group, so actually there's only Science division, but those other guys want Social one.) and I was called as 'walking calculator'. I love Math (XD) and hate to study the ones that need to be memorized such as Biology. I mean, I'm got a terrible memory sometimes.
As you might've expected, our next song is Bring Your Own Bombs, but more popular with the name of 'BYOB'. Expect hilarious 'singing'. XD I think it's already a bit hilarious though even with normal singing.
Don't spoil the surprise, Alexandra the Leopard. Also, if you have accessed the youtube link, don't tell anyone yet, Shadow's Party Girl 96.
Levinski : I'm sooo gonna ruin the song. They didn't let me play inside my own home.
I thought you were angry about this.
Levinski : Just changed my mind.
Starlight : Oooh, I wanna hear you sing.
Levinski : Okay, just… don't count this as 'singing' okay?
Review please!
Now, onward to the bed!
