A/N: I couldn't resist. Sorato, and Tai x OC. Takes place after Crystal War - which is good I guess, because it shows they can still all be goofy and have fun together after something like that. I don't own Disney. Matt is psychic. And I figure him and Tai are close enough that they can pick up on each other's cues pretty darned well. Inspired by a very funny college acapella performance I saw on Youtube - PM me if you want the link. :P
Tai wasn't exactly sure how he had gotten into this situation, but everyone else apparently thought it would be funny for him to sing the female part of this duet. He didn't really have a problem with it, but he really thought that Matt's voice would have been better on the girl part than his...
Not to mention that both of their girlfriends were present, and he didn't see why he couldn't just sing it with his...
"No one to tell us no, or where to go," Matt sang as the karaoke music swelled behind them. "Or say we're only dreaming..."
Tai took a deep breath.
"A whole new wooooorld," he sang out in bright falsetto, grinning slightly as everyone around him burst out laughing. "A dazzling place I never knew! But when I'm way up here - " at this he raised his arm out as though he were flying, "It's crystal clear - "
"Wow, I didn't know you were so good at this," his girlfriend giggled.
Tai finished his line and winked at her as Matt began his next part.
"Now I'm in a whole new world with you - "
"Unbelievable sights!" he sang out again, a very funny idea suddenly forming in his head. "Indescribable feeling! Soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling," he pretended that he was zooming around, much to everyone's amusement, "Through an endless diamond sky!" He turned to Matt. "A whole new wooooorld!"
Matt seemed more preoccupied with the music and watching everyone else. "Don't you dare close your eyes…"
Tai suddenly grinned. "A hundred thousand things to see!"
Oh, this'll be good.
"Hold your breath it gets better."
"I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far," he sang out, and then he suddenly grabbed Matt's arm and gazed at him imploringly. "I can't go back to where I used to be - "
Matt stared at him as though he just lost his mind, but kept singing. "A whole new woooorld - "
"Every turn a surprise!" he grabbed his friend and spun around him in a graceful flurry.
"…. With new horizons…?"
"Every moment red letter!"
Matt seemed to understand exactly what Tai was doing, but was somewhat creeped out by it. Regardless, as they entered the last verse together, Tai noticed that literally every single being in the room was laughing uproariously.
"- let me share this whole new world with you…"
Tai grabbed Matt's arm again and buried his head into his shoulder.
Matt's eyes were very wide. "… A whole new woooooorld…"
Tai was happily still in falsetto. He gazed up at him with his most lovesick smile and batted his eyelashes. "A whole new woooorld…"
The horrified expression on Matt's face was something Tai wanted to remember for years to come. He was really quite impressed that his best friend was still singing. "That's – where – we'll – be…?"
"That's where we'll beeee..."
Matt's face finally shifted into a crafty smirk.
Fine, if that's the way you want it.
"A thrilling chase..." Matt grabbed Tai into an overly dramatic, but tender embrace.
Tai gazed back at him in a soppy, romantic way. "A wondrous place…"
If anything, the noise from everyone else in the room was nearly drowning them out.
The two of them looked at each other, clasping hands.
"For you and me…"
The music was still going, and at the last chord, Tai suddenly blinked when he realized that Matt was petting his head.
The rest of the room had just about died with laughter, a couple people curled up on the floor gasping for breath.
As the music finally ended, the two boys separated.
Matt grinned and placed both hands on his hips. "Ha. Got you back."
Tai scrunched his face in. "You didn't have to pet my head," he spoke, happy to be in his normal register.
"You're the one who started it."
He grinned. "True."
As they left the front so Izzy could choose the next song (though he was still laughing), Tai noticed both Sora and his girlfriend furiously giggling.
"Matt, you horrible person, you've stolen my boyfriend," she shook her finger at the boy in question.
He shrugged. "What can I say? I guess I'm a good looking guy."
"And you," she turned to Tai with a knowing grin. "I had no idea that you were secretly a Matt fangirl. Now we'll have to duel for his hand in marriage."
"Not without my permission," Sora noted as a smile crept onto her face.
Tai turned to her. "Do we have your permission?"
Her smile grew very wide. "Yes."
Tai dramatically grabbed a spoon.
"Engarde!" he shouted in challenge, only to be beaten away by his girlfriend wielding a pillow.
Everyone else just continued watching the scene, while Matt shook his head, thinking that everyone, including himself, was insane.
