Duo~::sighs:: Heero, I’m bored. There’s nothing to do.
Heero~We’ve played ‘horsy’ enough and I’m tired!
Duo~::sigh::
Quatre~::from the other room:: Hey guys! Come take a look at this!
Duo~::walking in w/ Heero close behind:: What?
Quatre~::points to TV, giddy:: Look at those guys!
Heero~::to Trowa:: Is he OK?
Trowa~Yeah, he’s just obsessed.
Heero~::looks confused::
Wufei~How long has this been on?
Quatre~::staring at the screen:: It’s a marathon; it lasts for 5 hours!
Duo~::sitting down on couch, interested:: Who are they?
Quatre~They’re called N*SYNC and they’re very good.
Wufei~::rolls eyes:: Not another boy band!
Quatre~SHH!!! I’m trying to LISTEN!
Wufei~::stares at him in awe and confusion then stands behind the couch and watches.
Quatre~::eyes light up:: Here comes the best dong of all!!!!
Wufei~Now what?
Quatre~Quiet you!
Wufei~::grits teeth and cracks neck::
Trowa~::calms Wufei down:: Calm down, it’s ok.
Heero~So what’s the song?
Quatre~This I Promise You
Heero~::nods, pretending to understand:: Oh.
Quatre~::singing:: When the visions around you, bring tears to your eyes….
Wufei~Agh!………….hey, it’s catchy!::starts to snap::
Duo~::singing:: I loved you forever, in lifetimes before…….
Trowa~::swaying:: Hey, you’re right!
Wufei~ Of course I’m right!!
All~::singing:: And I will take..
Quatre~::singing::I will take you in my arms
All~::singing::..you in my arms
Quatre~You know what? We should do karaoke!
Heero~ I don’t know if we shou….
Duo~::not paying attention and still singing:: Every word I say is true, this I promise you, ooooh I promise youuuuuu ooh yeah.
All~::stare at Duo::
Duo~::turns crimson::
Heero~So the Shinigami sings, eh?
Duo~ Hidden talent, heh?
Quatre~I really think we should at least try it out? ::nudges Trowa:: Come on, it’ll be fun, like performing, only on a stage and not on the tightrope.
Trowa~Ok, I’m in.
Duo~Me too.
Heero~I’m in.
Quatre~What about you, Wufei?
Wufei~No.
Quatre~Come on!
Wufei~No.
Quatre~Pleeeease?
Wufei~No.
Quatre~Why not?
Wufei~Because I don’t want to, got it? ::pats sword::
Heero~Come on Wufei, it’ll be fun. ::pats gun::
Wufei~::steps towards Heero, hand on sword::
Heero~::steps towards Wufei, hand on gun::
Quatre~::rushes in between them:: Um, can we flip a coin for this?
Wufei~::keeping eyes on Heero:: Sure. That sounds fair.
Heero~::keeping eyes on Wufei:: Duo, do you have a quarter?
Duo~::digs around beneath couch cushions:: Jelly bean. No. Pencils. No. Coffee mug. Yes?
All~NO!
Duo~::looks discouraged and goes back to searching:: Ah! Quarter! ::hands it to Quatre::
Quatre~Heads, you go. Tails, you stay.
Wufei~::nods::
Quatre~::flips quarter and it lands on heads::
Wufei~::eyes widen, then looks defeated:: Fine.
Duo~YAY!
Quatre~We’re here! Let’s go sign up! ::runs off w/ Duo close behind::
Wufei~How long is this going to be?
Trowa~::smacking Wufei on the back:: Relax, it’ll be fun. If that’s in your Vocabulary.
Wufei~::turns to face him:: I can have fun. Let’s see how many times I can punch you in the gut to make you bleed out of your mouth. ::lunges at Trowa, but Trowa does one of his signature circus moves and leaps out of the way::
Quatre~::comes running back:: Hey guys, we’re up at 6:25! ::looks for Trowa then sees what Wufei was going to do:: WUFEI!
Wufei~::gives Trowa an evil look then sits down at a table::
Heero~::sits and watches a young girl singing Britney Spears::
Wufei~::covers ears:: AGH! Make it stop! I hope we don’t sound that bad!
Duo~Don’t worry, we won’t.
Quatre~::stands and applauds when the song is over:: Excellent! Alright you guys, we’re up!
Heero~::snaps eyes open:: Whaa..? So soon?!?
Duo~::points to clock:: It is 6:15. Are you having butterflies in that cute little tummy of yours? ::rubs Heero’s stomach::
Heero~::takes breath:: I’m fine. Let’s get this over with.
Quatre~::walks up to the stage and takes the microphone:: Hello! My name Quatre. Me and my friends, here ::waves hand at the pilots behind him:: would like to have your attention. It would give us great honor and pleasure if you would listen to us sing This I Promise You by N*SYNC.
Quatre~::whispering to the pilots:: Do you guys know your parts?
Heero~No.
Quatre~Wufei?
Wufei~You’ve got to be kidding me.
Quatre~Ok, you guys sing background, the words will be on the screen and I’ll sing lead, got it?
Wufei~You owe me. BIGtime.
Quatre~::singing::When the visions around you, bring tears to your eyes….
Duo~::starts to sway and snap and Trowa, Heero and
Wufei follow suit::
Quatre~::singing::…and all that surrounds you, are secrets and lies. I’ll be your strength, I’ll give you hope. Keeping your faith when is gone. The one you should call, is standing here all alone…
All~::singing:: And I will take, you in my arms and hold you right where you belong.
Quatre~::singing:: ‘Till the day my life is through, this I promise you, this I promise you
Duo~::steps up to front and Quatre moves to the back. He starts to sing and sway furiously, dancing around the stage and doing his own thing. The others sway, snap and look on in awe:: I’ve loved you forever, in lifetimes before. And I promise you never, will you hurt anymore. I give you my word, I give you my heart, this is a battle we’ve won. And with this vow, forever has now begun. ::turns to Heero, arm extended and singing passionately::
Heero~::continues to snap, but turns crimson as the others turn and stare::
All~::singing:: Just close your eyes, each loving day..
Duo~::singing::Each loving day…
All~::singing:: I know this feeling won’t go away..
Duo~::singing::..No, till the day my life is through, this I promise you, ooh I promise you…Over and over I fall..
All~::singing::..over and over I fall
Duo~::singing::..when I hear you call, without you in my life, baby I just wouldn’t be living at all.::does the arm thing to Heero again::
Heero~::turns a bright crimson, again::
Quatre~::steps up to sing with Duo::
All~::singing:: And I will take..
Quatre and Duo~::singing:: I will take you in my arms..
All~::singing:: And hold you right where you belong.
Quatre and Duo~::singing:: Right where you belong..Till the day my life is through, this I promise you baby.
All~::singing:: Just close your eyes, each loving day..
Quatre and Duo~::singing::..each loving day..
All~::singing:: I know this feeling won’t go away..
Quatre and Duo~::singing::..no, every word I say is true, this I promise you…::sharing one mic:: Every word I say is true, this I promise you, ooh I promise you..::both turn, with arms extended; Quatre’s right arm towards Trowa and Duo’s left arm towards Heero::
Trowa and Heero~::turn a deep crimson::
Wufei~::is in the middle of Trowa and Heero; takes a couple of steps back, waving arms as if to say, ‘I don’t know them!’::
Quatre~::the song has ended and is walking towards Trowa:: Now, that wasn’t so bad now was it?
Wufei~::eyes filled with rage whips out sword and chases Quatre around the bar:: AAAH! WEAKLING, I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!
Quatre~::runs away:: Trowa, save me!!!!
