Karaoke Night
By DigiqueenTMIM
Hey people! This is a karaoke fanfic, so, just to let you know, my overactive imagination really picks these songs, I just use them. No, there isn't going to be anymore chapters, but there is a sequel. It's named, 'Sweet Dreams'. Yes, remember to R&R, BUT NO FLAMES! Also, my muse writes these stories, or at least gives me every single idea.
*something warps into view behind me* Me : I was just talking about you. It's Renamon, Rika's digimon!
Me : Yes, Renamon is my muse. It explains why I only write Rika fanfics. Renamon : Who else am I going to write about, goggle-head? Me : You've been listening to Rika too much. Rika : *out of vision range* Hey, I heard that! Me : Let's just get to the fanfic.
Disclaimer : I RULE! I OWN DIGIMON! Just kidding, I don't own digimon, I'm only in the planning stages. MWHAHAHAHA... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rika sighed. "Tell me, who's idea was this?"
"Mine!" Jeri said, looking at her friend funny, "This is going to be a blast!"
"Yeah, but do we absolutely positively have to do this?" Rika asked, hoping the answer was 'no' but with little hope.
"Most definitely. Please, it'll be fun!" Jeri whined.
Rika looked out to the patio, strung with lights and confetti. A karaoke machine was placed on the side with a projector that shown the words on a screen.
"Come on Rika," Jeri interrupted, concluding that the silence from Rika was an 'okay', "Let's get ready."
Rika knew where Jeri was getting to. "No, no, no. No pink clothes, no make- up, no anything fancy!" Rika yelled.
"Oh fine then. *I'll* get ready." Jeri stomped off.
Rika stood there watching the lights flickering on and off for a few minutes, then sat down at one of the tables.
She was wearing her usual white t-shirt with the navy heart and blue jeans. Her red hair was up in a ponytail of course.
A whole hour later (A/N : Shows how much Jeri is into fashion, now, doesn't it?), Jeri finally came out wearing a light green tank top with a matching skirt.
"How long until the party starts?" Rika asked.
"Oh, in ten minutes," Jeri answered.
"Who did you all invite?" Rika said, dreading the answer.
"Almost everyone in the whole school," Jeri replied, smiling, as Rika groaned.
"Let's just get this over with."
~~~~T~H~E~~~~~P~A~R~T~Y~'~S~~~~~S~T~A~R~T~E~D!~~~~~~~
Finally, a little bit later, everyone arrived and they started the karaoke. Kazu and Kenta demanded to go first. Everyone was interested in what their song choice would be.
(Kazu & Kenta) Can you move it like this? (points microphone at audience) I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that C'mon ladies rock the party Shake your body everybody

(Everyone) Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that
(A/N : Everyone has sweatdrops now. ^_^*)
"Oh-kay," Rika muttered. (A/N : She's sounds like Takato...maybe she's turning into him! ^_^)
Rika looked around and saw Ryo Akiyama talking to all the tamers who were boys.
"Okay, then that's it," Ryo said.
Ryo and the rest of the guys walked onto the stage. Rika wondered what song Ryo was going to sing. Probably one to show off his pompous mind.
(Ryo) Hey I've been watching you
Every little thing you do
Every time I see you pass
In my homeroom class, makes my heart beat fast
I've tried to page you twice
But I see you roll your eyes
Wish I could make it real
But your lips are sealed, that ain't no big deal
'Cause I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
(Hey Juliet)
(All the guys) I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
Rika realized that Ryo was singing this song to her. She blushed but pretended not to notice.
(Ryo) Girl you got me on my knees
Beggin' please, baby please
Got my best DJ on the radiowaves saying
(Kazu) Hey Juliet, why do you do him this way
(Ryo) Too far to turn around
So I'm gonna stand my ground
Gimme just a little bit of hope
With a smile or a glance, gimme one more chance
'Cause I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
(Guys) Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
(Ryo) I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
You don't have to say forever
For us to hang together
So hear me when I say
(Guys) Hey Juliet Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
Rika stared in disbelief at Ryo. He had just sung a love song to her.
Jeri came over smiling smugly. "You know that he just sung that song for you," she whispered.
Henry came up to Ryo after the song was over. "Am I imagining it, or did you just sing that song to Rika?"
Ryo blushed. "Maybe..." he cautiously said.
Rika was embarrassed but kind of flattered at the same time. But she was Rika Nonaka. She *had* to get Ryo back in some way. Maybe a song to match his. Suddenly, she got an idea.
"Hey, Jeri, Suzie, Alice. Come here!" Rika shouted to them.
"Yeah?" They came over. Rika told them her plan.
"That's great, but doesn't it have male solo?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, that's the main reason of picking this song," Rika smirked, mischievously.
"Hey, Akiyama!" Rika yelled across the yard. He came sprinting over.
"What's up?" he asked.
Rika didn't answer, and pulled Ryo onstage with the girls following closely behind.
"You sing the male solo. Wait for the writing on the screen to turn blue, that's your part," Rika told him simply.
"What?" Ryo looked confused but didn't have time to, because the song started.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me,
I'm gonna make you love me, Yes, I will
(Rika) I'm gonna do everything for you
to show you that my love is true
oh baby (oh baby)
I'll sacrifice for you
I'll always do what's right for you
oh baby, baby, baby.
Every minute every hour,
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection
look out it's coming in your direction.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me
oh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh yes I will, yes I will
(Ryo) Look here- My love is strong you see
I know you'll never get tired of me,
oh baby (oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book,
I'll try my best to get ya hooked, oh baby baby.
Every night and everyday
I'm gonna getcha I'm gonna getcha
look out girl cause I'm gonna getcha.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me
oh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh yes I will, yes I will
(Ryo) Every breath I take,
and each and every step I make
Brings me closer baby, closer to you girl
(Rika) And with each beat of my heart
For every day we're apart
I will always be there for you
And I. Every night and everyday
I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha,
look out girl, 'cause I'm gonna getcha.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me,
Ooh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will (I will) yes I will
Yes I will
Rika put her heart into that song. Partly because she liked that song and partly because she meant it. 'Omigosh, did I just think that?' Rika thought. Well, she had to admit, Ryo was a pretty good singer. He could even make it as a punk rapper. (A/N : Just think of it. ^_^) She smiled, (VERY RARE!), at the looks on everyone's faces, then walked offstage. (A/N : Oh yeah, the "stage" is Jeri's patio.)
After awhile, the shock finally wore off. Now it was Takato's turn. He picked a song and bravely walked onstage. (A/N : Yes, another one! Sorry, I just have to tell you this. When picking a song for Takato, I see "Bootylicious". Good song for Takato, huh? My friend said that "Bootylicious" could be Suzie's song. Hehe...)
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me Love was out to get to me That's the way it seems Disappointment haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a given thing But the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah What's the use in trying All you get is pain When I wanted sunshine, I got rain
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind Now I'm a believer Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer
Everyone knew that that song was for Jeri.
"Hey, looks like lover boy has a crush on you," Rika teased. Jeri blushed.
Kazu was watching all this, not saying anything, until he finally burst out, "Ugh, there's too much love here!" Everyone started cracking up. Ryo caught Rika's eye, but she turned away.
A couple people from Jeri's school went onstage and then it was Henry's turn.
I took a walk around the world To ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhere In the sands of time I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be Something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called my weak But still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head If not for me the you will be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite Yeah!
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite
Everyone wondered if Henry just sang that song with no meaning, or if there was really a meaning behind it. Only three tamers (A/N : I dunno, would you count Alice as a tamer?) were left, since Ai and Mako couldn't make it. Jeri went first and practically ran onstage.
One way or another I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna win ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna see ya I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha One day, maybe next week I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha I will drive past your house And if the lights are all down I'll see who's around
One way or another I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna win ya I'll getcha, I'll getcha One way or another I'm gonna see ya I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha One day, maybe next week I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown See who's hanging out
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall Stand over the mall Where I can see it all Find out who ya call Lead you to the supermarket checkout Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
(A/N : Sorry, I just couldn't resist seeing Jeri singing this. Just imagine it. Hehe...^_^)
"That was great Jeri!" Takato said, walking over to her.
"Thanks Takato," Jeri blushed. (A/N : What am I doing?! I'm totally against Jukato! Oh well...)
Finally, it was Alice's turn. She swiftly walked onstage, as the music started to play.
Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see, Mirror Mirror lie to me, Yea
Why don't I like the girl I see? The one who's standing right in front me Why don't I think before I speak? (I speak) I should have listened to that voice inside of me
I must be stupid Must be crazy Must be out of my mind To say the kind of things I said last night
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see (to me) Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see
Why did I let you walk away? When all I had to do was say I'm sorry I let my pride get in the way (the way) And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid Must be crazy Must be out of my mind Now in the cold light of the day I realize
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
If only wishes could be dreams And all my dreams could come true There would be two of us standing here in front of you If you could show me that someone that I used to be Bring back my baby to me (my baby to meaah)
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
Mirror mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see, Mirror mirror lie to me, (to me) Show me what I want to see Mirror mirror lie to me.
Everyone clapped. (A/N : UGH, muse, where are you? I mean, 'everyone clapped'. Very original...) The only tamer left was Suzie. Everyone was interested in what a seven year old girl would sing at a karaoke party. (A/N : Believe me, I was too. So, I went with my back-up plan. And Autumn, Amber, and Amanda, no it isn't Nelly, P. Diddy, or Eminem. She's a seven year old girl!)
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl? The girl who has everything? Look at this trove, treasures untold, How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you think, Sure, she's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty. I've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty. But who cares? No big deal. I want more. I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see them dancing. Walking around on those, What do you call them? Oh, feet. Flipping your fins you don't get too far. Legs are required for jumping, dancing. Strolling along down a - what's that word again? Street...
Up where they walk, Up where they run, Up where they stay all day in the sun Wandering free, wish I could be Part of that world
What would I give, to live, Out of these waters? What would I pay, to spend a day, Warm on the sand. Betcha on land, they understand Betcha they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women Sick of swimmin' Ready to stand... I'm ready to know what the people know Ask them my questions and get some answers What's a fire and why does it - What's the word? Burn... When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love - Love to explore the shore up above... Out of the sea... Wish I could be... Part of that...world...
(A/N : I'm so proud of myself. That was all from memory. I know the "Little Mermaid" inside and out!)
Everyone was surprised that Suzie picked that song. But, they shouldn't have forgotten that Suzie is a seven year old girl. Rika saw that Takato was ushering her over to the group.
"Yeah?" she said once she got there.
"We should all do a song together," Henry said.
"Like what?" Jeri asked.
"I have an idea," Rika said. Everyone looked at her. "How 'bout Sk8er Boi? Each of use can sing two lines, but it doesn't really even out."
Rika looked around, but Alice disappeared.
"Oh-kay. That's freaky. Well, at least now the verses even out," Takato said.
"What about verse three?" Kazu asked.
"Rika should sing it," Ryo replied with his trademark smile.
'Oh brother.' Rika thought, rolling her eyes. "Why me?"
"Because you have the best singing voice," Kenta said.
"I knew my voice would curse me one day! Oh, alright!" Rika gave in.
Everyone screamed when the tamers walked onstage. Rika rolled her eyes.
(Ryo) He was a boi, she was a girl Can I make it anymore obvious? (Rika) He was a punk, she did ballet What more can I say? (Jeri) He wanted her, she'd never tell Secretly, she wanted him as well (Takato) But all of her friends, stuck up their nose And they had a problem with his baggy clothes
(All) He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her She had a pretty face But her head was up in space She needed to come back down to Earth
(Henry) Five years from now, she sits at home Feeding the baby, she's all alone (Suzie) She turns on T.V., guess who she sees? Sk8er boi rocking up MTV (Kazu) She calls up her friends, they already know And they've all got tickets to see his show (Kenta) She tags along and stands in the crowd Looks up at the man that she turned down
(All) He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a superstar Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a superstar Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
(break)
(Rika) Sorry girl but you missed out Well, tough luck that boi's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how the story ends Too bad that you couldn't see See the man that boi could be There is more than meets the eye I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boi, I'm just a girl Can I make it anymore obvious? We are love, haven't you heard? How we rock each other's world
(Girls) I'm with a sk8er boi (Boys) I'm with a sk8er girl I said see ya later boi I said see ya later girl I'll be backstage after the show I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio, I'll be at the studio, Singing the song we wrote Singing the song we wrote About a girl he used to know About a boi she used to know
I'm with a sk8er boi I'm with a sk8er girl I said see ya later boi I said see ya later girl I'll be backstage after the show I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio, I'll be at the studio, Singing the song we wrote Singing the song we wrote About a girl he used to know About a boi she used to know
(A/N : What do think I was going to do? Make the boys say, "I'm with a sk8er boi?" NO WAY! I had to change it...)
Kenta was right (for once). Rika *was* the best singer out there. She hid her talent from her mom just in case her mom decided to get her in a singer career. And anyways, it wasn't really a big deal.
Rika smiled. (A/N : AHH! Again? Why do you keep making Rika smile, Renamon? Renamon : Because... Me : Ugh, back to the fanfic.)
Soon everyone was just about gone. Rika was staying behind to help Jeri clean up. A couple lingering guests were still there.
"I hate to admit, Jeri, but that was kinda fun," Rika said.
"Yeah, and looks who's still here..." Jeri said, looking behind Rika. Rika turned around. It was Ryo. Rika turned back around to face Jeri and made a face.
"So?" Rika asked.
"So go tell him you like him," Jeri smiled.
"How many times do I have to point this out to you, I. DON'T. LIKE. HIM.!" Rika almost screamed.
"You like him. Now go say goodnight!" Jeri concluded, giving Rika a push. She glared at Jeri, but show that she wasn't chicken, she bravely walked up to him. His back was turned so he didn't know she was coming over.
"Hey Akiyama," she said, casually.
He glanced at Rika, noticed it was her, and swung around. "Oh, hi, Rika," Ryo said.
"Good job today," Rika said, glancing behind her and seeing Jeri smiling smugly.
"Yeah, you're good too, you should - " Ryo started back Rika cut him off.
"I am *not* getting a career in singing," Rika abruptly said.
"Just imagine it. And the most popular artist of the year goes to...Rika Nonaka!" Ryo laughed.
"That would never happen in a million years," Rika exclaimed, annoyed.
"Well, if you made a CD, I would buy a million copies of it," Ryo smirked.
"Don't try to flatter me, Akiyama (A/N : Man, I'm using 'Akiyama' a lot, aren't I?). It won't work," Rika sighed.
There was silence. "Well, I'd better go and help Jeri," Rika said.
"Yeah, well, see you tomorrow, right?" Ryo asked.
"Yeah, bye," Rika said, walking away (A/N : Without the black cloak! Read 'Sweet Dreams' to know what I mean).
Ryo stood there. 'I'll tell you someday.'
Jeri watched all this with amusement. 'Hmm...maybe I should get those together...well, they'll figure it out on their own.' Jeri thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me : AHH! I can't believe you made me write that Renamon. Renamon : *shrugs* I thought it was good. Me : Alright, *mutters* it was either you or Terriermon as a muse. Do you honestly think I was going to pick Terriermon? Henry : *out of vision range* Hey, I heard that! Me : *sweatdrops*
Wondering what happens? Well, I wrote another story named 'Sweet Dreams' that would be great as the sequel. So go read it! And don't forgot to R&R but NO FLAMES! (Also read 'The Key' by FallenAngel. It's a cool story, since the Ashley in the story is me! YAY!) Thanx!
Hey people! This is a karaoke fanfic, so, just to let you know, my overactive imagination really picks these songs, I just use them. No, there isn't going to be anymore chapters, but there is a sequel. It's named, 'Sweet Dreams'. Yes, remember to R&R, BUT NO FLAMES! Also, my muse writes these stories, or at least gives me every single idea.
*something warps into view behind me* Me : I was just talking about you. It's Renamon, Rika's digimon!
Me : Yes, Renamon is my muse. It explains why I only write Rika fanfics. Renamon : Who else am I going to write about, goggle-head? Me : You've been listening to Rika too much. Rika : *out of vision range* Hey, I heard that! Me : Let's just get to the fanfic.
Disclaimer : I RULE! I OWN DIGIMON! Just kidding, I don't own digimon, I'm only in the planning stages. MWHAHAHAHA... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rika sighed. "Tell me, who's idea was this?"
"Mine!" Jeri said, looking at her friend funny, "This is going to be a blast!"
"Yeah, but do we absolutely positively have to do this?" Rika asked, hoping the answer was 'no' but with little hope.
"Most definitely. Please, it'll be fun!" Jeri whined.
Rika looked out to the patio, strung with lights and confetti. A karaoke machine was placed on the side with a projector that shown the words on a screen.
"Come on Rika," Jeri interrupted, concluding that the silence from Rika was an 'okay', "Let's get ready."
Rika knew where Jeri was getting to. "No, no, no. No pink clothes, no make- up, no anything fancy!" Rika yelled.
"Oh fine then. *I'll* get ready." Jeri stomped off.
Rika stood there watching the lights flickering on and off for a few minutes, then sat down at one of the tables.
She was wearing her usual white t-shirt with the navy heart and blue jeans. Her red hair was up in a ponytail of course.
A whole hour later (A/N : Shows how much Jeri is into fashion, now, doesn't it?), Jeri finally came out wearing a light green tank top with a matching skirt.
"How long until the party starts?" Rika asked.
"Oh, in ten minutes," Jeri answered.
"Who did you all invite?" Rika said, dreading the answer.
"Almost everyone in the whole school," Jeri replied, smiling, as Rika groaned.
"Let's just get this over with."
~~~~T~H~E~~~~~P~A~R~T~Y~'~S~~~~~S~T~A~R~T~E~D!~~~~~~~
Finally, a little bit later, everyone arrived and they started the karaoke. Kazu and Kenta demanded to go first. Everyone was interested in what their song choice would be.
(Kazu & Kenta) Can you move it like this? (points microphone at audience) I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that C'mon ladies rock the party Shake your body everybody

(Everyone) Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that Can you move it like this? I can shake it like that
(A/N : Everyone has sweatdrops now. ^_^*)
"Oh-kay," Rika muttered. (A/N : She's sounds like Takato...maybe she's turning into him! ^_^)
Rika looked around and saw Ryo Akiyama talking to all the tamers who were boys.
"Okay, then that's it," Ryo said.
Ryo and the rest of the guys walked onto the stage. Rika wondered what song Ryo was going to sing. Probably one to show off his pompous mind.
(Ryo) Hey I've been watching you
Every little thing you do
Every time I see you pass
In my homeroom class, makes my heart beat fast
I've tried to page you twice
But I see you roll your eyes
Wish I could make it real
But your lips are sealed, that ain't no big deal
'Cause I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
(Hey Juliet)
(All the guys) I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
Rika realized that Ryo was singing this song to her. She blushed but pretended not to notice.
(Ryo) Girl you got me on my knees
Beggin' please, baby please
Got my best DJ on the radiowaves saying
(Kazu) Hey Juliet, why do you do him this way
(Ryo) Too far to turn around
So I'm gonna stand my ground
Gimme just a little bit of hope
With a smile or a glance, gimme one more chance
'Cause I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
(Guys) Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
(Ryo) I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
You don't have to say forever
For us to hang together
So hear me when I say
(Guys) Hey Juliet Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
Rika stared in disbelief at Ryo. He had just sung a love song to her.
Jeri came over smiling smugly. "You know that he just sung that song for you," she whispered.
Henry came up to Ryo after the song was over. "Am I imagining it, or did you just sing that song to Rika?"
Ryo blushed. "Maybe..." he cautiously said.
Rika was embarrassed but kind of flattered at the same time. But she was Rika Nonaka. She *had* to get Ryo back in some way. Maybe a song to match his. Suddenly, she got an idea.
"Hey, Jeri, Suzie, Alice. Come here!" Rika shouted to them.
"Yeah?" They came over. Rika told them her plan.
"That's great, but doesn't it have male solo?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, that's the main reason of picking this song," Rika smirked, mischievously.
"Hey, Akiyama!" Rika yelled across the yard. He came sprinting over.
"What's up?" he asked.
Rika didn't answer, and pulled Ryo onstage with the girls following closely behind.
"You sing the male solo. Wait for the writing on the screen to turn blue, that's your part," Rika told him simply.
"What?" Ryo looked confused but didn't have time to, because the song started.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me,
I'm gonna make you love me, Yes, I will
(Rika) I'm gonna do everything for you
to show you that my love is true
oh baby (oh baby)
I'll sacrifice for you
I'll always do what's right for you
oh baby, baby, baby.
Every minute every hour,
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection
look out it's coming in your direction.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me
oh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh yes I will, yes I will
(Ryo) Look here- My love is strong you see
I know you'll never get tired of me,
oh baby (oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book,
I'll try my best to get ya hooked, oh baby baby.
Every night and everyday
I'm gonna getcha I'm gonna getcha
look out girl cause I'm gonna getcha.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me
oh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh yes I will, yes I will
(Ryo) Every breath I take,
and each and every step I make
Brings me closer baby, closer to you girl
(Rika) And with each beat of my heart
For every day we're apart
I will always be there for you
And I. Every night and everyday
I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha,
look out girl, 'cause I'm gonna getcha.
(Girls) I'm gonna make you love me,
Ooh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will (I will) yes I will
Yes I will
Rika put her heart into that song. Partly because she liked that song and partly because she meant it. 'Omigosh, did I just think that?' Rika thought. Well, she had to admit, Ryo was a pretty good singer. He could even make it as a punk rapper. (A/N : Just think of it. ^_^) She smiled, (VERY RARE!), at the looks on everyone's faces, then walked offstage. (A/N : Oh yeah, the "stage" is Jeri's patio.)
After awhile, the shock finally wore off. Now it was Takato's turn. He picked a song and bravely walked onstage. (A/N : Yes, another one! Sorry, I just have to tell you this. When picking a song for Takato, I see "Bootylicious". Good song for Takato, huh? My friend said that "Bootylicious" could be Suzie's song. Hehe...)
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me Love was out to get to me That's the way it seems Disappointment haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a given thing But the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah What's the use in trying All you get is pain When I wanted sunshine, I got rain
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind Now I'm a believer Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer
Everyone knew that that song was for Jeri.
"Hey, looks like lover boy has a crush on you," Rika teased. Jeri blushed.
Kazu was watching all this, not saying anything, until he finally burst out, "Ugh, there's too much love here!" Everyone started cracking up. Ryo caught Rika's eye, but she turned away.
A couple people from Jeri's school went onstage and then it was Henry's turn.
I took a walk around the world To ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhere In the sands of time I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be Something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called my weak But still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head If not for me the you will be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite Yeah!
If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite
Everyone wondered if Henry just sang that song with no meaning, or if there was really a meaning behind it. Only three tamers (A/N : I dunno, would you count Alice as a tamer?) were left, since Ai and Mako couldn't make it. Jeri went first and practically ran onstage.
One way or another I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna win ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna see ya I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha One day, maybe next week I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha I will drive past your house And if the lights are all down I'll see who's around
One way or another I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha One way or another I'm gonna win ya I'll getcha, I'll getcha One way or another I'm gonna see ya I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha One day, maybe next week I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown See who's hanging out
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya One way or another I'm gonna lose ya I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall Stand over the mall Where I can see it all Find out who ya call Lead you to the supermarket checkout Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
(A/N : Sorry, I just couldn't resist seeing Jeri singing this. Just imagine it. Hehe...^_^)
"That was great Jeri!" Takato said, walking over to her.
"Thanks Takato," Jeri blushed. (A/N : What am I doing?! I'm totally against Jukato! Oh well...)
Finally, it was Alice's turn. She swiftly walked onstage, as the music started to play.
Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see, Mirror Mirror lie to me, Yea
Why don't I like the girl I see? The one who's standing right in front me Why don't I think before I speak? (I speak) I should have listened to that voice inside of me
I must be stupid Must be crazy Must be out of my mind To say the kind of things I said last night
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see (to me) Mirror Mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see
Why did I let you walk away? When all I had to do was say I'm sorry I let my pride get in the way (the way) And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid Must be crazy Must be out of my mind Now in the cold light of the day I realize
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
If only wishes could be dreams And all my dreams could come true There would be two of us standing here in front of you If you could show me that someone that I used to be Bring back my baby to me (my baby to meaah)
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall You don't have to tell me Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me And bring my baby back Bring my baby back to me
Mirror mirror lie to me, Show me what I want to see, Mirror mirror lie to me, (to me) Show me what I want to see Mirror mirror lie to me.
Everyone clapped. (A/N : UGH, muse, where are you? I mean, 'everyone clapped'. Very original...) The only tamer left was Suzie. Everyone was interested in what a seven year old girl would sing at a karaoke party. (A/N : Believe me, I was too. So, I went with my back-up plan. And Autumn, Amber, and Amanda, no it isn't Nelly, P. Diddy, or Eminem. She's a seven year old girl!)
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl? The girl who has everything? Look at this trove, treasures untold, How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you think, Sure, she's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty. I've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty. But who cares? No big deal. I want more. I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see them dancing. Walking around on those, What do you call them? Oh, feet. Flipping your fins you don't get too far. Legs are required for jumping, dancing. Strolling along down a - what's that word again? Street...
Up where they walk, Up where they run, Up where they stay all day in the sun Wandering free, wish I could be Part of that world
What would I give, to live, Out of these waters? What would I pay, to spend a day, Warm on the sand. Betcha on land, they understand Betcha they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women Sick of swimmin' Ready to stand... I'm ready to know what the people know Ask them my questions and get some answers What's a fire and why does it - What's the word? Burn... When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love - Love to explore the shore up above... Out of the sea... Wish I could be... Part of that...world...
(A/N : I'm so proud of myself. That was all from memory. I know the "Little Mermaid" inside and out!)
Everyone was surprised that Suzie picked that song. But, they shouldn't have forgotten that Suzie is a seven year old girl. Rika saw that Takato was ushering her over to the group.
"Yeah?" she said once she got there.
"We should all do a song together," Henry said.
"Like what?" Jeri asked.
"I have an idea," Rika said. Everyone looked at her. "How 'bout Sk8er Boi? Each of use can sing two lines, but it doesn't really even out."
Rika looked around, but Alice disappeared.
"Oh-kay. That's freaky. Well, at least now the verses even out," Takato said.
"What about verse three?" Kazu asked.
"Rika should sing it," Ryo replied with his trademark smile.
'Oh brother.' Rika thought, rolling her eyes. "Why me?"
"Because you have the best singing voice," Kenta said.
"I knew my voice would curse me one day! Oh, alright!" Rika gave in.
Everyone screamed when the tamers walked onstage. Rika rolled her eyes.
(Ryo) He was a boi, she was a girl Can I make it anymore obvious? (Rika) He was a punk, she did ballet What more can I say? (Jeri) He wanted her, she'd never tell Secretly, she wanted him as well (Takato) But all of her friends, stuck up their nose And they had a problem with his baggy clothes
(All) He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her She had a pretty face But her head was up in space She needed to come back down to Earth
(Henry) Five years from now, she sits at home Feeding the baby, she's all alone (Suzie) She turns on T.V., guess who she sees? Sk8er boi rocking up MTV (Kazu) She calls up her friends, they already know And they've all got tickets to see his show (Kenta) She tags along and stands in the crowd Looks up at the man that she turned down
(All) He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a superstar Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He was a sk8er boi She said see ya later boi He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a superstar Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
(break)
(Rika) Sorry girl but you missed out Well, tough luck that boi's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how the story ends Too bad that you couldn't see See the man that boi could be There is more than meets the eye I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boi, I'm just a girl Can I make it anymore obvious? We are love, haven't you heard? How we rock each other's world
(Girls) I'm with a sk8er boi (Boys) I'm with a sk8er girl I said see ya later boi I said see ya later girl I'll be backstage after the show I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio, I'll be at the studio, Singing the song we wrote Singing the song we wrote About a girl he used to know About a boi she used to know
I'm with a sk8er boi I'm with a sk8er girl I said see ya later boi I said see ya later girl I'll be backstage after the show I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio, I'll be at the studio, Singing the song we wrote Singing the song we wrote About a girl he used to know About a boi she used to know
(A/N : What do think I was going to do? Make the boys say, "I'm with a sk8er boi?" NO WAY! I had to change it...)
Kenta was right (for once). Rika *was* the best singer out there. She hid her talent from her mom just in case her mom decided to get her in a singer career. And anyways, it wasn't really a big deal.
Rika smiled. (A/N : AHH! Again? Why do you keep making Rika smile, Renamon? Renamon : Because... Me : Ugh, back to the fanfic.)
Soon everyone was just about gone. Rika was staying behind to help Jeri clean up. A couple lingering guests were still there.
"I hate to admit, Jeri, but that was kinda fun," Rika said.
"Yeah, and looks who's still here..." Jeri said, looking behind Rika. Rika turned around. It was Ryo. Rika turned back around to face Jeri and made a face.
"So?" Rika asked.
"So go tell him you like him," Jeri smiled.
"How many times do I have to point this out to you, I. DON'T. LIKE. HIM.!" Rika almost screamed.
"You like him. Now go say goodnight!" Jeri concluded, giving Rika a push. She glared at Jeri, but show that she wasn't chicken, she bravely walked up to him. His back was turned so he didn't know she was coming over.
"Hey Akiyama," she said, casually.
He glanced at Rika, noticed it was her, and swung around. "Oh, hi, Rika," Ryo said.
"Good job today," Rika said, glancing behind her and seeing Jeri smiling smugly.
"Yeah, you're good too, you should - " Ryo started back Rika cut him off.
"I am *not* getting a career in singing," Rika abruptly said.
"Just imagine it. And the most popular artist of the year goes to...Rika Nonaka!" Ryo laughed.
"That would never happen in a million years," Rika exclaimed, annoyed.
"Well, if you made a CD, I would buy a million copies of it," Ryo smirked.
"Don't try to flatter me, Akiyama (A/N : Man, I'm using 'Akiyama' a lot, aren't I?). It won't work," Rika sighed.
There was silence. "Well, I'd better go and help Jeri," Rika said.
"Yeah, well, see you tomorrow, right?" Ryo asked.
"Yeah, bye," Rika said, walking away (A/N : Without the black cloak! Read 'Sweet Dreams' to know what I mean).
Ryo stood there. 'I'll tell you someday.'
Jeri watched all this with amusement. 'Hmm...maybe I should get those together...well, they'll figure it out on their own.' Jeri thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me : AHH! I can't believe you made me write that Renamon. Renamon : *shrugs* I thought it was good. Me : Alright, *mutters* it was either you or Terriermon as a muse. Do you honestly think I was going to pick Terriermon? Henry : *out of vision range* Hey, I heard that! Me : *sweatdrops*
Wondering what happens? Well, I wrote another story named 'Sweet Dreams' that would be great as the sequel. So go read it! And don't forgot to R&R but NO FLAMES! (Also read 'The Key' by FallenAngel. It's a cool story, since the Ashley in the story is me! YAY!) Thanx!
