Heroes Uprising: Alternate Universe (Thread 2)

" Please note that both individuals involved are students and uner the age of eighteen, therefore any pictures or recordings of them shall be seen as child pornogaphy, anyone in possession of such items, be it on their person, or some social media or any of that ilk shall be punished severely " Ashe's usual monotone held a chilling undertone to it. Making no mistake that his threat was real, the temperature in the room had plummeted as he spoke, frost covering the tables, floor, and in some cases the students. Absolutely no one wanted to know what his idea of a punishment would be.

Ashe ignored Mikes innane thoughts as he led him to his office and closed the door behind them. He directed Mike to place the sac in a corner of his office. Once that was done he raised a wall of ice to give them some privacy, he'd had a few students pick up their clothes for him and placed them out for the girls to get at. Whoever caused the lust in the girls had either left the scene.

Once the wall was up, the girls crawled out of the bag and quietly began putting their clothes back on. Neither was actually sure what to say in the moment, humiliation painted on bothe their facess.

Meanwhile back in the cafeteria, the second Ashe had left, everyone was in a flurry, deleting the pics and vids from their phones and rushing to do the same for instagram, twitter, and the like. Garfield let out a breath he didnt even know he'd been holding " Fuck, that dude is scarrrrrry "He sat down but slid to ground, finding his chair comepletely frosted over.

Donovan, having just joined the other, helped Garfield back to his feet and patted the still silent Dave on his back " Agree with you their dude, that guys always scarred me, like he's looking through you and instead of at you, you know what I mean "

Garfield raised an eyebrow " A little early to smoking weed isnt it? " and dodged his friends foot.

" Hey! I can be smart...sometimes "

Suddenly a swirl of darkness appeared, Emmet flying out of it with Riku, Arian, and Noah right behind him " What the Bloody hell is going on?! " Emmet demanded, comepltely scandalized by the messages he'd been receiving " Tanesha and Sandra were having carnal relations in the middle of the cafeteria? " truthfully a part of his didnt see an issue with and was a little envious, public sex sounded fun, scandalizing him all the more.

Riku on the other hand was completely fine with voicing his jealousy " Why didnt anybody tell me this school host public orgies? I woulnt have wanted in on this one since it was a clit fest but some multi man on man action would be nice "

Noah shook his Riku's comment, even as his own curiousity peeked out " I didnt peg either of them as the sort for such behavior "

" Thats because their not prone to this type of thing " Emmeted defended his friends, he knew them well, especially Sandra. True she was undergoing a sexual awakening but she and Tanesha respected each other and themselves far to much for it to come to this " Someone has a hand in this, Im absolutely sure of it "

' Thats what I think too " Dave finally spoke up, spirred on by Emmets confident assurance " I was watching them before it happened, the look on Sandra's face, it seemed like something was affecting her, i've seen enough mind control to know what it looks like, even a similariy " Garfield and Donovan were shocked that he would mention that, Dave never spoke about his home life but as his best friends, they were all to aware of what this meant to him and understood his outburst.

"Sandra had a strong look of shame, probably even more so then Tenesha. She had no idea what came over her, she was sitting down ready to enjoy a good breakfast then... the urge, she was compelled to just take Tenesha then and their, she couldn't restrain her. But now half the school has seen her naked and making out at that, it was so humiliating. Sandra could only imagine what people was saying about her. She was honestly afraid of even showing her face in public again, what if people was going to ridicule her on sight.

She hadn't even looked Tenesha in the eyes since being let out of the sac, she felt as though she embarrassed the women she loved and made a public speticle out of her. Ruining her own life felt bad enough but to do it to Tenesha to. She didn't even know what to say, how does one just say sorry for doing that? Sandra just remained silent, her head hung low as she got dressed."

-----

"Katy and Tesla was listening to the guys talk."

Katy: If whoever did this wanted to hurt Sandra I would think they would of succeeded. Sandra seems very self cautious, it wasn't long ago the girl was to shy to even sing in public. I can't imagine what public ridicule is doing to her.

"This made both Dave and Emmet realize something. Ashe can make people delete the videos, but he can't stop people from being who they are and silence them. This poses a issue as there is often likely to be that one asshole around that would keep bringing this up. Sandra was making so much progress since he met her, making so many friends and showcasing her talents in front of massive groups of people. The last thing Emmet wanted was for her to withdraw and hide away, to ashamed to show her face in public because of this."

Emmet bit his lip as he pondered what this would mean for the future, Sandra had made amazing progress since he'd first met her. She wasnt the shy little girly anymore but a strong and confident young woman. But after this whole instance, it was sure to lead her back to her old ways. Even if Ashe threatened everyone to delete the pictures and videos, he couldnt get rid of the memories, more likely then not, some neanderthal was going to say something about it.

" All we can do for the moment, aside from searching the for waste of pxygen that caused this, is rally around our precious friends and be there for them and help keep their confidence high, Glee is soon so lets use that as a way to fix this, the power of music can work wonders afterall " everyone nodded in agreement. Dave kinda looked put out now, he had no intentions on joining Glee, he sucked at singing and dancing. So he'd take up the task of finding this sicko and making them pay.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tanesha couldnt stand the silence any longer, she cleared her throat loudly to get Sandra's attention " Listen....um " she was fumbling for something to say and finally rolled her eyes, she was the type of girl that always had something to say " Babe, about what happened, I'm sorry, something affected us and just made us both super horny. But it got to you first, I should have done something to stop it or something. But...people are gonna be giving us a lot of crap, I can hear all the " hey ma what you doin? " coming already. But listen to me " she walked over and took Sandra's hands in her own. Forcing her to look into her eyes, the thrill of physical contact was obvious, but she ignored it.

" I love you, no matter what happens and I always will, I got your back through hell and high water " she held her hands tightly, willing her feelings across.

"Sandra was afraid and to ashamed to speak, but luckily Tenesha had stepped up to break the silence. While the words was few they was also meaningful, it moved Sandra to tears seeing the other girl still support her after this. She spoken over her tears, the hurt of this whole ordeal quite clear."

Sandra: Tenesha I'm so sorry I, I couldn't stop myself I just.....

"Sandra still wasn't sure how to apologize. Her words just spilled out in a sad but apologetic jumble. Sandra remained silent for another moment, trying to compose her thoughts. They may of just been holding hands but even that simple interaction from Tenesha was soothing. Being in any form of contact with the girl she loved so much helped Sandra's confidence in rough times."

Sandra: Tenesha... thank you.

"Those words was simple yet meant so much. To still have this girls support after possibly ruining her reputation, Sandra really was blessed. Sandra could only imagine people calling them sluts, ho's, and an assortment of nasty names she was unsure if they could ever get away from. But still, Tenesha was here. Sandra didn't even want to think about what it would be like if she would of had to face the school alone."

The level of outrage Tie felt was half of what her peers expressed, but still present to make her want to punish those responsible. Mostly to redeem her own honor due to how she had to wait until it was safe to intervene. The very fact a demonic presence prevented her from acting immediately only increased her outrage, but mere outrage wasn't what her friends needed.

"I can make some calls to make sure those videos are mostly erased. My family's company know a few technopaths who could deal with that issue." she spoke up knowing that there would be a few who would keep the videos even under threat. If their computers were linked to the internet a pesky virus might destroy the specific video a long with half of their files as punishment for not deleting it themselves. "This would be different if they wanted this. It wouldn't be proper nor sanitary to let them continue, but it would be their choice. However..."

Tie got up with a furious expression. "I do despise this type of joke. You are correct Emmet as always. None of the True Notes will ever fall to this not with their comrades near!" it was apparent that something about this Tie did truly hate. The ability to force others to do something against their will was never loved. Mainly due to Demons even being above such novice trickery. She even considered killing the culprit for being yet another annoyance on top of many.

Once both girls were fully dressed and prepared to face the outside, Tanesha tapped the ice and stepped back as it broke away to mist. Ashe was sitting behind his desk and beckoned both girls forward " You both appear to have suffered quite the ordeal, such activities out in the open are frowned upon and in most cases would result in suspention if not flat out expulsion " he raised his hand to silence them " But given the circumstances I believe we can wave off to severe a punishment. I have a rather intimate knowledge of lust and when it's being manipulated, such abuse of power is very much against the rules and i'll focus on finding them " the bell began ringing, Ashe dismissed them off and went to get ready for his class.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Emmet was deep in thought as everyone gradually began entering the choir room. He immediately went straight to the stage and began searching through the song data base. He'd been unable to do his morning practice sessions to mornings in a row and that was unnaceptable. His voice, like any weapon or tool, needed to be kept sharp and ready, hmm why not?
He selected the song " Cabaret " from the hit broadway musical called Cabaret. Once that was done, he took his place in front of the microphone, his rightful place. The overhead light became a single spotlight that shone down on him, the music began playing and all over thoughts began to fade into the background, he closed his eyes to center himself and when he opened them, he was ready.

Emmet:
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow your horn
Start celebrating right this way
Your table's waiting

What good's permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour

The day she died the neighbors came to snicker
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor"
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
She was the happiest corpse, I'd ever seen

I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she'd turn to me and say
"What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

And as for me
And as for me
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea
When I go, I'm going like Elsie

Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a staaaaaaaaay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet


Emmet came alive on the stage, his voice was flawless and his dance moves were perflectly in tune with the music, like someone who simply born for the stage and all its facets. He finished the song with the sustained note and took a bow. Smiling as he heard the applause, the day just couldnt begin unless he was awash in applause and praise.

Garfield whistled from his spot next to Noah, both were feeling very intimidated. Riku just shrugged, clapping along with the others. He wasnt an idiot and knew full well how good Emmet was, being the one who tought the half demon how to sing and dance along with Kaiser. This show right was a pale imitation of just how good the immortal was. He would just settle for outclassing everyone else.

"It was a relieve when Ashe said they would find the person behind what happened to Sandra and Tenesha, but now was a moment Sandra was fearing. She'd never been so afraid of the school bell as she was at this moment. Holding hands with Tenesha they walked towards the door but before entering the busy hallways Sandra stopped, hesitating.

Tenesha could feel how embarrassing this whole thing was for Sandra, she was a girl that cared a lot about how people viewed her. Luckily Tenesha and Sandra had glee class together, and she knew if anything would restore Sandra's confidence, it would be this. She talked her girl into not being afraid and both started making their way down the hall. Sandra couldn't help but feel people was starring and talking about her, and not in a good way. It's gave a feeling that gutted Sandra inside until the girls started nearing the glee club. As they got closer music became louder and the sound of Emmet's voice became clearer, and with this Sandra's thoughts of ridicule started to fade way to those of singing and joy.

Both girls entered the class and Sandra immediately started applauding Emmet's performance."

Tanesha held Sandra close as they left Ashe's office, she knew this was going to be a long ass day. The starres, were going to bad enough but they'd have to deal with the " brave " ones who actually tried to talk to them about it or even touch them. Immature boys and then there was the scorn of the female populace they'd have to look forward to. She was glad when they got close enough to the choir room to hear Emmet belting out the lyrics to some song. It brought a smile to her face and helped her to forget about the idiots.

She clapped along with her girlfriend as Emmet finished up. He grinned broadly and flew off the stage to them, pulling them both into a tight hug " Oh Sandra! Tanesha! How are you my precious friends? " Tanesha laughed and patted him on the back.

" Hanging in there Queen Goddess, I assume you heard about our improptu bump and grind show in the cafeteria "

Emmet pulled away and nodded seriously " Yes, Professor Ashe took care of some of it, but as for the resst of plebians, were here for you " he squeezed their hands, everyone else agreeing with him.

"Emmet and Tenesha was both so supportive, it went a long way towards build hope and confidence within Sandra that they would be able to pull though this."

Sandra: Emmet you know I love Tenesha with all my heart, she's really become my whole world lately. But what happened to us in the cafeteria, that wasn't me... that wasn't us. We came in, got a tray of food, everything was normal then suddenly... I don't even know how to say it. I couldn't stop myself... I known it was wrong but I didn't care, I had to take Tenesha right then and there.

Ashe hinted that out sense of lust was being manipulated, but he didn't seem to know who. He just said they'd find "them".

Emmet why can't I have a normal day of school?

"Sandra saved this whole confession speech for Emmet. While she loved Tenesha,Emmet just comes off as one of those guys wise beyond his years."

Sandra: I went though such a physical toll with the Mafia. More pain then I'd ever experienced in life, and nearly dying on 3 occasions. We finally stand up to them, harness our powers and we put in their place. After suffering though all that with them I just wanted to return to being a normal teenager. But then, I'm put though the most humiliating and embarrassing day of of my life. Because of whatever jackass was behind this Tenesha and I are the talk of the entire school. When the school bell rung for class it was the most dreadful sound in the world to me, I didn't want to leave the Ashe office. The walk over here was just... you could feel people starring at you, hear them whispering and laughing. I just want to be normal again... is that so much to ask?

"Sandra was clearly having more trouble with this then Tenesha. And at this point it was really the combination of everything that was starting to get to her. Sandra thought her troubles would be over when they dealt with the Mafia, now this. She want to be strong but it was just so much in such a short time to bare. Sandra admired Emmet and Tenesha for remaining so strong though everything. She wanted to be like them, but clearly it was getting to her."

Emmet listened intently as Sandra got everything off her chest. Sandra was a strong person, but something like this was to much for an average person to take. That she hadnt completely fallen apart was a testament to her strength. He could see how much the whispers and stares were hurting her and it nearly drove him over the edge into sweet, bloody, insanity. He wasnt one to suffer an insult to his friends.

" Well Sandra my dear, you are extraordinanry truly almost as much as myself and you shouldnt strive to be anything else but the best. Normal is a word that holds no real power or meaning. Life is a shrewd mistress and the only way to really get what you want out of it is to keep your chin up, it wont be easy but nothing in life is, not even for me, but " he held his hand out and after a moment Sandra took it.

The moment their skin touched, a rush of heat came up between them and formed a lavender colored flamed that engulfed their conjoined hands " Much has changed now and i'm not going to let you fall into despair. This flame is a fusion of our respective powers,born from a moment of unity where we stood together and triumphed over our enemies. This is another bump along the road of life but just think back to that moment and the answer will come to you but I can only tell you pretty words, what you desire to do in the end is up to you "

Adrian was watching the two intently, he'd heard of this before, union raid, where two mutants could fuse their powers and create an entirely new one. Was this another sign of the phoenix or their own talent. It definetly warranted a closer look, further inspection to see just what these two were capable of.

"Sandra paid close attention to Emmet's inspiring words. This was going to be hard but all she could do was keep her chin up and push forward. The flame conjured up between them was a testament to how strong Sandra is, she overcame great odds before and she would do it again. She would do it, especially with Emmet and Tenesha at her side."

Sandra: Emmet, thank you. All this has been so hard on me, I tend to wonder myself how much more I can take. But I've come to far to give up now. I have to just remember I'm not alone, I've been blessed with the best friends in the world and the most fantastic lover a person could ever want. I know with all this help I'll pull though.

"Pop Quiz today everyone. I hope you read the first ten chapters already."

The immediate whining of twenty students immediately filled the empty space of Mr. Robinson's classroom. The lazy Thomas dropped his forehead on the desk as the teacher just placed the question sheet right next to his face. Eventually he turned around as soon as he heard the announcement. "You have fifteen minutest to finish."

The great thing about being in this guy's head is that I can feel his shock. Especially as he finds out that he needs to write at least two small essays of info to answer these questions. "Oh this is some shit!" he muttered looking back at his teacher and flipping him off while his back was turned.

"Such an indiscriminate act of disrespect!"

"By a mere student no less sister. There is no discipline here."

Honestly I'm surprised to here that immediately annoying noise from at the front of the class room. Of course its from those two sisters. I couldn't believe they even had those names honestly "Sorry about that. Its just a little tick. Stupid whores! Stupid Whores! Whoops it happened again." Thomas was not amused. Actually its one of the few things I enjoy about my alternate. When he has to actually work his 'Annoying Prick Mode' is easily set off. He eyed both of the girls as they stood up.

"Hey settle down or I'm putting you out!" Mr. Robinson immediately stated eyeing all of us down. This guy was annoying but could usually quiet down his class. This time I can tell it wouldn't work. These girls despite their gorgeous looks were almost in human if you can look into their eyes. Thomas was far more perceptive than even I. The grins they sported as they looked at us, no down at us was familiar.

"Sit down Mr. Robinson!" one of them snapped their fingers and he immediately was slammed into the ground. She adjusted her glasses. "I believe your presence is insufficient to discipline this class." I could feel magic around the classroom. This barrier that surrounded this room immediately set off alarms. Even the students could feel it but all appeared very afraid as if something was warning them not to move. Thomas of course doesn't give a shit.

"Let Mr. Robinson go. Look Miss Hooker and Miss Condom if you don't let him go-" our heart almost stopped as we could feel her cold breath at the back of our necks the moment we blinked.

"Its Scanty and that's my little sister Kneesocks."

"The one and only."

"What will you do hmm? What will you if we dine on your fellow students entrails in front of you now?" at the moment her voice was but a whisper yet I knew she wasn't far from that simply to be petty. If I was in control right now I'd ask her out.

"Umm tell the principle?" alas I'm not in control.

"Wrong answer." on pure animal instinct Thomas ducked and rolled out of the way of a black blade slicing through the air in a blur. He turned around and saw Kneesocks tossed her pen at us almost as fast as a bullet. We smoothly evaded the attack but immediately found her heels digging into our chest as she kicked us out of the window and a few dozen feet outside. That wasn't necessarily our finest hour. At the moment both of us knew they weren't something we could deal with yet. Not on our own.

The class was still almost glued to their seats. The few students who attempted to escape found themselves running into a barrier and immediately smacked into their seats. Scanty and Kneesocks now stood in front of the class smiling. "We apologize for the malcontent interrupting your education. Kneesocks what should we start with today? You should begin the lesson since you nearly destroyed your beautiful shoes."

"Thank you sister. Class! We will begin our lesson on the history of Fascism."

Nate walked into the room not long after that and called everyones to their seats. He took note of Riku, Noah, and Garfield, delighted that they had more members joining the Club. He of course knew who Riku and Noah really were, but they seemed fine enough. He'd already sung with Riku and could tell the guy was definetly a performer at heart and Noah had been brought up by the church to be a killing machine but their seemed to be a part of himself that was gradually awakening, a part he hadnt known existed. Nathaniel was willing to take a chance on them, thats what being a teacher is about afterall.

Alright everyone, welcome back, were now in our second week of Glee Club " he paused for a moment to let everyone clap and cheer before continuing " Were gonna work even harder and of course have more fun. I enjoyed your performance yesterday and I was very impressed. Your very diverse and it shows when you sing together, the strength and harmony that you can summon is extraordinary. Were gonna be working on your individual strengths and weakness, building on them and expanding out. It's still early but i'd like to enroll you in a few competitions, Im confident you can go the distance "

Everyone was excited about the prospect of competing in a show choir competition, to show off their skills, and in the case of Emmet, Tie, and Tesla, prove their superiority. Nate walked off the stage and took a seat in the audience " First things first, it seems we have some people who wanna audition for the True Notes, lets do this and i'll get on to the days lesson. Who wants to go first? "

Riku leaned back in his seat, he was planning on going last, saving the best of course. Noah was turning bright red at the prospect of performing but squared his shoulders and mustered up his courage. He was about to get up, but Garfield leaped out of his seat and cartwheeled through the air and landed on his feet, right in front of the mike " Hello everyone, for those of you who dont know me, names Garfield Parker......yes im related to THE Peter Parker, and yes I have super cool spider powers, but more importantly im here to sing and dance for you! " he fist bumped the air a few times before selecting a song on the machine.

" Here I come with " My life " by Robin Thicke "

Garfield:
I met this pretty girl
She was from D.C.
I liked the way that she smiled

Said, “There’s a party tonight,
You oughta come with me.”
She said, “Baby, I’ll try.”

I waited all night long
For her to walk in
For her to bring me her light

Then she came in the room
She looked right at me
She was the vision of my life

[Chorus:]
(I love) My life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out; it’s shining so bright
My life
Just like it’s supposed to go
My life
And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright


I’m in the perfect place
Can’t wipe the smile off my face
Ain’t nothin’ bringing me down

I feel like clappin’ my hands
I feel like stompin’ my feet
I feel like groovin’ all night

With your body close to me
I hope you can feel my energy
Watch you move your body
Get hot with me
You and I are celebrating tonight

It’s all around me now
You couldn’t stop it if you tried
Today is like no other day
‘Cuz I’m havin’ the time of my life


(I love) My life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out; it’s shining so bright
My life
Just like it’s supposed to go
My life
And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright

Take me to the sky
Like never before, like never before
And we’ll lie back on the moon
Like never before, like never before

(Nah-Nah-Nah....)

[Chorus:]
(I love) My life
Everything is wonderful
My life
The sun is out; it’s shining so bright
My life
Just like it’s supposed to go
My life
And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright
You and me, we’re living the dream tonight, tonight
You and me, we’re living the dream alright, alright

Tonight, tonight
Alright, alright
Tonight, tonight
Alright, alright


Garfield gave put his all into the performance, he listened to this song a lot and liked Robin Thickes music, even if the guy came off as a total creeper, this fondness for the music let him really put his feeling into it, Most people were grooving along to the song as. He glanced at Emmet more then once and for the last part of the song, leaped onto the table in front of the boy and sang directly to him. Tanesha covered her mouth to block off her giggles, even as she danced in her chair. Emmet was turning an impressive shade of read but he was stilling smiling the whole way through.

Leaping back onto the stage, Garfield took a bow. Once everyone was finished applauding him, Nathaniel jotted down his name " Garfield Parker, welcome to the True Notes! "

" WOOHOO! " He jumped up and down and ran back to his seat, slapping five with a few people before sitting down. " So on a scale of awesome and really awesome, how awesome was I? " he asked Emmet who was sitting in front of him.

The other boy turned around in his seat and raised a well styled eyebrow " Quite awesome I'd have to say, you were a little flat in some parts, and your dance moves were kind of all over the place, but you have a lot of potential, I look forward to helping you become almost as good as I am but not quite " he grinned, winking before turning back around. Garfield was grinning like a fool, even if he was partly sure Emmet hadnt entirely been joking.

"Sandra shared Tenesha amusement at Garfield singing to Emmet, it wasn't any guess of the imagination to see what they where thinking in that moment. Of course Tesla had to comment."

Tesla: Get at the back of the line Mr. Parker. Although this poser (quick gesture towards Tie) claims she'll do it, it's only my rightful place to knock Emmet off his throne.

"Katy commented towards Tesla."

Katy: And to think not long ago you completely shunned music. Now it's your rightful place to dethrone Emmet? How the hell does that work?
Tesla: People change. And given my heritage, I think I got a pretty good right to make that claim.

"Sandra would get involved in the conversation now."

Sandra: You have to get on Emmet's level first Tesla.
Tesla: Girl please, on my first night here I was singing circles around you. I'm top tier talent and only improving by the performance.
Katy: Well you don't lack confidence at least.
Tesla: Or I don't lack anything. To beat the best you have to be the best. I assure you, I'm the best.

"Sandra couldn't agree the the girl didn't lack anything. She wasn't completely lying, objectively speaking Sandra was impressed with how far Tesla came and so fast, it was a bigger turn around then even herself. But something was there blocking Tesla from putting it all together."

"You feelin the heat Emmet?" Tyrone yelled over to Emmet. The possibility most here were going to constantly challenge Emmet was humorous. At least they weren't all jealous idiots rushing for the top.

"Tessie dear posers are so nineties and more importantly extinct. At least call me a hipster." Tie was more proud than anything when it came to Tesla's confidence and ability. She was also more competition which was always wonderful to her. "We could really see who's the best here Tesla. Me you and Emmet should really perform at some point in front of a crowd worthy of our presence."

Preferably after we hunt down the intruders. I can feel their influence growing.

The otherworldly sound was more aggressive than usual. Tie wondered if he was aching for a proper opponent. "For now at least we should wait. I wonder whats the activity for today? The Disney special was refreshing."

" It certainly warms my heart to see such confidence coming from you all " Emmet smiled, before his expression became haughty " But i'm your all a few millenia to early to challenge my throne, but your well on your way , keep the dream alive "

Riku and Kaiser shared a look, Emmets comment, though perceived as a joke, certainly held truth to it, and the way he'd said it, just for a split second reminded them of those warm afternoons when he'd give them singing and dancing lessons. Garfield held up his hands in surrender, but with a smile on his face " No worries here, I'm fine with being a backup singer/dancer "

Noah quietly made his way to the stage as everyone chattered. He was really nervous, which was a first for him. Being an executioner for the church meant he was in life or death struggles on a daily basis. But he was out of his depth with social situations. He focused on Emmets smiling face to gain confidence. His gaze wandered over to Adrian as well, after last night, the two were certainly closer now, the bloodlust being directed at him had lessened quite a bit.

" Um, m-my name is Noah Arkson and i'm going to sing " I dont wanna be singing " I dont want to be " by Gavin Degraw. Taking a deep breath, he started singing as the music came on.

Noah:
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from


I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be [x4]


Following Garfields example, Noah bowed following his performance, but stayed that way, the exileration still coursing through him. The song was a little personal to him, it made him think of how he'd shaped his life. He'd followed in Father Andersons footsteps to a T, but he'd never stopped looking for a side path to travel along as well and he believed he'd finally found it. He smiled shyly as the True Notes applauded him. Nathaniel gave him a thumbs up

" Welcome to the True Notes, Noah Arkson "

Noah immediately exited the stage and went back to his seat.

"The True Notes was really heating up. Sandra more or less shared Garfield views, while she now and then joked about dethroning Emmet she was hell bent on it like Lilia or Tesla, she sing for the fun and the feel of it. As long as your words came from the heart and you performed as good as you could for yourself, then whatever you performed was fabulous despite if someone outranked you or not."

Sandra: Two great performances down. One more to go.

"Sandra smiled cheerfully enjoying the guys showing so far."

Riku jumped onto the stage, very much pumped up for his own performance. He was about to make a dramatic intro speak when something sparked across his senses. A secluded bubble of magic somewhere, with demonic origins. He sighed mentally, why did those hags have to pick now of all times to start shit. Well the responsible thing to do would be to rush off and put an end to whatever their doing. On the other hand, he'd been looking forward to joining the Glee club and getting to sing with Kaiser, Emmet, and all the others. He made his decision and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile outside his shadow streaked off down the halls at lightning speed, rising up from the ground in a perfect silhoute of Riku, two of his demonic crows flanking it. If they were hurting the students then he'd have no choice but to intervene. As it stood now, they were just lecturing them........that was a form of torture in itself but not something he needed to do anything about immediately.

" Hmm, Kaiser dear theres something ive been wondering about. Are you and Riku and item? " Emmet asked curiously, he'd seen the way the two always seemed to gravitate towards one another, the touching filled with sexual longing, and quick glances.

Kaiser blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his neck " Um, it's a little difficult to pin down exactly. Were childhood friends, my mom actually taught him alongside me when we were little and weve been together ever since but......um no were not really dating "

Your sleeping together though. Of course Emmet far to much class to blurt this obvious fact out " Really, then if your amazing mother taught in the musical arts then I can assume only the best of him "

Kaiser nodded, smiling softly " Yeah, he always worked hard at it. Im a better dancer but he has me beat at singing, I think you'll really like it, and the song he picked "

Riku finally opened his eyes, now that the matter was seen to, he gripped the mike in front of him " Greetings and Salutations, Riku Darkholme is my name and im hear to join this kick ass club. I dont hold in thoughts at claiming the spot of number one but I will happily take second. I'll be covering " I cant do it alone " from Chicago!, ninja boy announce me! "

Kaiser:
ladies and gentleman
miss velma kelly in an act of desperation

Riku:
my sister and i had an act that couldn't flop,
my sister and i were headed straight for the top,
my sister and earned a thou a week at least, oh yea
but my sister is now unfortuntly deceased,
i know its sad of course
but a fact is still a fact
and now all that remains is the remains,
of a perfect... double... act
watch this!
now you have to imagine it with two people,
it's swell with two people,
first i'd,
then she'd
then we'd
but i can't do it alone
then she'd
then i'd
then we'd
but i can't do it alone
she'd say what's your sister like
i'd say men
she'd say you're the cats meow
then we'd wow the crowd again
when she'd go
i'd go
we'd go
then those ding dong daddies started to roar
whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor,
yelling, screaming, begging for more,
and we'd say ok fellows, keep your socks up,
cause you ain't seen nothing yet
but i simply cannot do it alone,

He danced his way over to Emmet in the middle of the performance.
Riku:
so what'd ya think huh?
come on you can say

(Emmet blows a rasberry)

Riku:
i know you're right the first part is shit
but the second part, the second part is really nifty, ok
she'd go
i'd go
we'd go
then those two-bit johnny's did it aproud
to cheer the best (pause) attraction in town
they nearly tore the balcony down (hold) ,
and we'd say ok boys we're going home,
but before we go here's a few more partin' shots,
and this, this we did in perfect unison
now you see me going through it
you make think there's nothing to it
but i simply cannot do it... alooooooooooooooooooooooooooone


Riku knew the dance for this song by heart, adding his own style and flair to it, right down to the sustained note and ending with a front flip into splits. He grinned breathlessly as the True Notes applauded, Emmet and Kaiser giving him a standing ovation and that is what made it all worth it.

---------------------------------------------------

Jericho stepped back as he finished putting Eva back together, as he'd done so he'd informed her that Troy Crosby had been shipped off the island. She was utterly devastated by this news, part of her simply refused to believe it. But when she checked for his presence via their blood link. The resounding silence was all the proof she needed, it was only Jericho's will that kept her on her feet now. She wanted to roll up into a ball and die....again, it was just to much to bare.

" He's still alive, if you want to take some measure of comfort in that fact, his stupidity is the result of his retreating, the mafia group itself is in tatters and betrayal is running rampant " He said this all very flippantly, showing her little he cared, he'd finally gotten his hands on some information to lead to greater power. He had to move fast though, it wouldnt be long before others learned of it as well.

His words sunk in, only surving to weigh her down more, what was the mafia to her without Troy in it? Absolutely nothing, even as a part of her would miss Megan but it was simply because the insane girl reminded her of her older sister. In appearance alone of course, but still it stung a little. She suddenly noticed all the bags littered about the graveyard " Are you going somewhere? "

" No, we are " he held out a scroll for her to see, the words Nosferatu were printed on it " The remains of Vampire King, Vlad the impaler, Dracula have been discovered and were going to obtain them, by any means necessary " he rolled it up and put it into one of the pockets of his robe, various zombies lumbered around picking up the bags and carrying them off " I've arranged for a boat and plane to take us to our location, now come my slave "

Jericho was in high spirits, as seen by his dark smile. Eva could only follow after him, nothing else really mattered anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in one of the offices of the Mages association, a young man was fidgiting in a chair. He sighed in annoyance as the ticking of the clock ony served to fuel his aggravation, this taking a riddiculous amount of time. He crossed his legs, made easy by the fact he was wearing a kilt, his body was muscular and toned and showed well through his black tank top. His mage robes were hung behind him on his chair.

" Will you please relax, your helping this situation at all "

Tipping his cowboy hat to the side, the young man regarded the girl sitting next to him. Long black hair with pink highlights was her most distinguishing feature, about the age of 17, she was slim and wore pink dress underneath some pink robes. A book propped open in her lap, she shot him a sideways glare " I understand how you feel, well not really, but we will get going soon enough, Garret "

Garret sighed " Sorry Tabitha, but I havent gotten to see Riku in ages and I miss him "

Tabitha snorted " Yes, his amazing presence iss what you miss "

" Weeeell, screwing him on your desk is something to miss "-WHAM

Tabitha's book smashed into his face " Thank you for reminding me of that, I'm still cleaning off the stains! "

Garret laughed as he plugged his bleeding nose " Not my fault your desk is so comfy comfy to the bare skin " he threw himself sideways to miss her next strike " Geeze, for someone who's suppose to be a support mage, your certainly missing your true calling on the battle field. Pinky "

Tabitha blushed and looked away, Garret was one of three people she allowed to call her by that nickname " Hmm, it really has been awhile since weve all been together, I still remember our fun school days "

" Yeah, Garret said wistfully as he slowly edged back over to his seat, only to be knocked backwards as a giant hole was made in the wall. A tall, slender woman stepped out from it, her hair was long and sapphire blue. She was obviously of mixed heritage, given her asian features. Wearing tank top and jean, she reached out and pulled Tabitha into a tight hug.

" Oh Pinky-Chan, I remember those fun school days as well, so much excitement and day to day death battles.

" Shizuka, what are you doing here? " Tabitha asked as she returned the hug, Garret hadnt said anything about involving her in the mission but she suppose she shouldnt be suprised.

" Skirt-Kun called me in naturally, if Kujaku-Sama is in need of help, who else but myself should come into help? "

Garret dusted himself off and glared at her " Still making gaudy ass entrances "

" Still wearing more dresses then I ever do "

" It's a kilt damnit! "

" Dresss is a dress no matter where its from "

" Will you two please get it together? "

"Sandra clapped with the rest of the class after Riku performance. The talent in this group was amazing and everybody had their own unique styles to their performances. She spoke to her girlfriend."

Sandra: Wow Tenesha how amazing it that this entire class is full of strong performers. From dancing to singing, everybody seems to have something special to them.

"Tesla spoke up."

Tesla: That's good. It drives competition and makes us all better.

-----

"A while after their meeting Kiya transport is seen landing on a helipad on top of Greg's building. Kiya walked a cuffed Troy out of the carrier and into the building. They reach Greg's office and Kiya opens the door, giving Troy a kick in the back he stumbles into the office and falls forward."

Kiya: I got the kid. You got the rest of my money.

"Greg surprised by the sudden interruption nodded. Troy found himself unable to standwith his arms cuffed behind his back."

Troy: Will you take these fucking things off now.
Kiya: I lost the key.

"Troy signed and used his powers to melt the cuffs off, when he stood and turned around he seen Kiya with the key in her hand, playing with it and moving it through her fingers."

Troy: Lying slut.

"Greg gives Kiya a briefcase that contains the rest of her money."

Kiya: Pleasure Mr. Crosby. Stay away from Genosha Troy.
Troy: Screw you!
Kiya: Fine go back if you want, no concern of mine if you die. I may even do it myself if our paths cross again.

"With that final warning Kiya left back to the carrier. Next job was capturing the Phoenix girl, this one would not be as easy as getting Troy out, Sandra seems always well protected."

Nathaniel welcomed Riku into the Glee Club and went back onto the stage, pulling out the white board, he wrote one word down " Duet "

" Now I've heard you sing individually and i've heard you sing together. In both instances youve been incredible. But today were gonna focus on something else, duets. Now a duet, ass you obviously know is when two people sing together. But a deeper definition of it can be seen as a marriage between to voices to produce a unique ssound. Yes I know that sounds kinda corny. But well, maybe a demonstration would be better, Riku would you mind assisting me. Based on your performance I think our voices would go well together "

He didnt mention that they'd already sung together but Riku shrugged and jumped onto the stage "Happy to oblige, what song did you have in mind? "

Nathaniel leaned over and whispered something to the half demon who immediately broke out into a dark smile " Oooooh, excellent choice, definetly one of my absolute favorites! "

Nathaniel grinned back and put the song in "Alright, start us off "

Riku:
Seems a downright shame...
Nathaniel: Shame?
Riku:
Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has!
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts to be erased...
Think of it as thrift,
As a gift,
If you get my drift!

No?

Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is,
When you get it,
If you get it...

Nathaniel: HAH!
Riku:
Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[Simultaneously]

Nathaniel:
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion
Riku:
Well, it does seem a waste...

Nathaniel:
Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
Riku:
It's an idea...

Nathaniel:
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
Riku:
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

Nathaniel:
How choice!

How
Rare!

Nathaniel:
For what's the sound of the world out there?
Riku:
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
Nathaniel:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!
Riku:
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!
Nathaniel:
It's man devouring man, my dear!
BOTH:
And [Riku: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

Nathniel: (spoken) These are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!
Riku: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!
Nathaniel: What is that?

Riku:
It's priest. Have a little priest.
Nathaniel:
Is it really good?
Riku:
Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.
Nathaniel:
Awful lot of fat.
Riku:
Only where it sat.
Nathaniel:
Haven't you got poet, or something like that?
Riku:
No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!

Nathaniel: (spoken) Heavenly!
Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,
but then again, not as bland as curate, either!

Riku:
And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more!
Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!

Lawyer's rather nice.
Nathaniel:
If it's for a price.
Riku:
Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!
Nathaniel:
Anything that's lean.
Riku:
Well, then, if you're British and loyal,
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it's clean.
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!
Nathaniel:
Is that squire,
On the fire?
Riku:
Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!
Nathaniel:
Looks thicker,
More like vicar!
Riku:
No, it has to be grocer --
It's green!

Nathaniel:
The history of the world, my love --
Riku:
Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!
Nathaniel:
Is those below serving those up above!
Riku:
Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!
Nathaniel:
How gratifying for once to know
BOTH:
That those above will serve those down below!

Riku: (spoken) Now let's see, here... We've got tinker.
Nathaniel: Something... pinker.
Riku: Tailor?
Nathaniel: Paler.
Riku: Butler?
Nathaniel: Subtler.
Riku: Potter?
Nathaniel: Hotter.
Riku: Locksmith?

Lovely bit of clerk.
Nathaniel:
Maybe for a lark.
Riku:
Then again there's sweep
If you want it cheap
And you like it dark!
Try the financier,
Peak of his career!
Nathaniel:
That looks pretty rank.
Riku:
Well, he drank,
It's a bank
Cashier.
Never really sold.
Maybe it was old.
Nathaniel:
Have you any Beadle?
Riku:
Next week, so I'm told!
Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and
Notice 'ow well it's been greased...
Stick to priest!

(spoken) Now then, this might be a little bit stringy,
but then of course it's... fiddle player!
Nathaniel: No, this isn't fiddle player -- it's piccolo player!
Riku: 'Ow can you tell?
Nathaniel: It's piping hot!
Riku: Then blow on it first!

Nathaniel:
The history of the world, my sweet --
Riku:
Oh, Mr. Todd,
Ooh, Mr. Todd,
What does it tell?
Nathaniel:
Is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat!
Riku:
And, Mr. Todd,
Too, Mr. Todd,
Who gets to sell!
Nathaniel:
But fortunately, it's also clear
BOTH:
That [L: But] ev'rybody goes down well with beer!

Riku: (spoken)
Since marine doesn't appeal to you, 'ow about... rear admiral?
Nathaniel: Too salty. I prefer general.
Riku: With, or without his privates? "With" is extra.

Nathaniel: What is that?
Riku:
It's fop.
Finest in the shop.
And we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd on top!
And I've just begun --
Here's the politician, so oily
It's served with a doily,
Have one!
Nathaniel:
Put it on a bun.
Well, you never know if it's going to run!
Riku:
Try the friar,
Fried, it's drier!
Nathaniel:
No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy!
Riku:
Then actor,
That's compacter!
Nathaniel:
Yes, and always arrives overdone!
I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!

Riku: (spoken) Wait! True, we don't have judge yet,
but we've got something you might fancy even better.
Nathaniel: What's that?
Riku: Executioner!

Nathaniel:
Have charity towards the world, my pet!
Riku:
Yes, yes, I know, my love!
Nathaniel:
We'll take the customers that we can get!
Riku:
High-born and low, my love!
Nathaniel:
We'll not discriminate great from small!
No, we'll serve anyone,
Meaning anyone,
BOTH:
And to anyone
At all!


The two were amazing together, their voices weaving around the other, matching and compensating the other, and bringing the dark emotional excitement the song required, like two people who trully enjoyed the idea of killing people and turning them into meat pies.Once the song was done, Nate sent Riku back to his seat and pulled out an old top hat.

" Now it's time to let the hat of fate decide yours! " he announced dramatically " To make this all the more interesting and more productive, you'll draw the names of your duet partners out, and no switching or complaining. Well now lets get this started "

Final results:
Sandra/Victoria
Kaiser/Katy
Tesla/Adrian
Riku/Lilia
Garfield/Tyrone
Tanesha/Noah
Emmet/Roberta

Nathaniel wrote their names on the board " Alright, now we will take fourteen minutes for you all to discuss the song you want to perform. Im thinking we'll do half today and the rest tomorrow, now off you go "

"Sandra was almost sick to the stomach with the results, of all the amazing talent and friends in this group why'd it have to be Victoria."

Sandra: Great... she'll probably hog the full song and take the entire spotlight for herself.

"Sandra muttered that sentence not really loud enough to hear unless anybody was paying close attention. Sandra still held resentment towards this girl but she'd have to make the best of it. A bit reluctantly Sandra went over by Victoria."

Sandra: So we're partners.

"Sandra said in a unpleased tone, though she was making her best effort to cover it up."

Sandra: Is there any songs in particular you feel like doing?

-----

"Tesla went over by Adrian."

Tesla: Well this was a unexpected turn of events. Hope you can keep up, I don't want to have to carry you though our performance.

"Tesla spoke in her usual high and mighty tone."

-----

"Kaiser and Katy was already discussing performance options."

Katy: We shouldn't do something lyrically heavy. We're both in the same boat that while not bad singers per say, we're behind the curve of the rest. So neither of us can really cover the weakness of the other in that department. But dance, now that's where we shine. Maybe we should do a Dance Club style song. Something with light easy lyrics that lets us shine in our strong suits, movements, the dance. What do you think?

"Katy seemed to want to play into their strong suit. She know they couldn't out sing the others, but maybe, they could out perform."

Tie winced hearing the pairing uttered by Nate. It would go unnoticed to the untrained eye but she was able to immediately hide her disdain for the choice. Gracefully she walked over to Riku with a smile and open arms.

"Riku Darkholme we haven't had the chance to really get to know each other." the curiosity evident in that statement was genuine. While Tie was literally hardwired with an instilled hatred for beings like demons she was more than capable of overcoming her nature. "Your performance recently was delectable."

------------------------------------------

"Well there goes my plans for a Rihanna and Eminem song. Don't play to rough with the other children okay?" Tyrone joked with Victoria as he went over to Garfield who he hasn't really spoken to. Singing with him off the bat right now might be a little awkward but he was up for it. It didn't take long before they were already introducing themselves. Tyrone was wondering about the relation to Peter Parker but decided to ignore it for now.

"So we need a good song for this. Got any preferences for genre?"

-------------------------------------------------------

Roberta felt a little nervous about performing with Emmet in a duet. Even as she was beginning to talk with Emmet she was more worried about the differences in their ability. Otherwise she didn't mind a duet. At least it wasn't Adrian since she didn't necessarily know how to interact with him.

"This is a little exciting. I have a few ideas but I'm wondering what the lead diva has in mind?"

Victoria sighed inward, this was going to be hard. Sandra's grudge against her was still strong, not that Victoria blamed her in the slightest, were the roles reversed then she would have done worse. All she could do was simply try her best to win the girl over, it wouldnt be easy and would probably take a long while but this was as good a time to start as any " Well, I actually started writing down some possible songs, from when Nate mentioned we were doing duets. I narrowed it down a little when he mentioned he would be singing together "

She pushed the list over to Sandra " I was thinking something in the pop genre would be good for our voice types, Katy Perry, Avril Lavine, or even Britney Spears " she had her hands folded in front of her as she went over the list. Something a lot of people didnt know about Victoria is she was very methodical and enjoyed making list, pros and cons, organizing. Obviously she hadnt been keeping up with that lately, but something about being in Glee and even with Tyrone was making her think she could stow the slutty girl routine away,

" Of course are just ideas, what do you suggest? "

---------------------------------------------------------------------

" I'll try to slow you down " Adrian assured Tesla, amused at her arrogance but able to admit that she had a vast amount of potential. But his thought process ran towards her power more then her singing, diamond skin interested him to know end but it wasnt time to claim it yet, he could wait and add it to the list " What song do you suggest we do? I'll go along with whatever you desire "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaiser nodded " Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines to, a song that can highlight our dancing skills would definetly be good. Riku gave me an idea for a good song but what do you have in mind? "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riku was just as unhappy about his duet partner, but plastered on a wide and fake smile " Lilia Ashford, thank you for the praise and yes I agree we havent had the time to talk much but i've heard only the best of things " his hatred of her was do to a few bad experiences he'd had with heavens denizens, enough to make him curse the whole lot of them " Well were both very capable singers(one of us more then the other) what do you think we should sing, the possibilities are endless " like these fourteen minutes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" I'm down for anything really " he asssured Tyrone, he was honestly kinda relieved he'd gotten Tyrone as a partner, if he couldnt get Emmet. He seemed like a chill guy and they'd rocked the Maroon 5 song they'd done before " Old schools always good "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tanesha squeezed Sandra's hand before she went to sit with Victoria. She knew this was going to be really hard for her, given her dislike for Victoria. She certainly wasnt happy with her former best friend but could do nothing but give Sandra assurance. She smiled Noah sat across from her. " Well it's nice to get to work with you, for music and not just ambushes and stuff like that " she was referring to her first official meeting with him "

" Agreed and im very sorry to hear about the earlier incident you and your lover suffered " Noah gave her a sympathetic look " No one deserves to suffer public humiliation like that "

" Thanks, but I can think of a few people I wouldnt mind that happening to a few choice people. But onto the matter at hand, we need a song that can match both our talents, do you listen to Beyonce? "

" Um who? "

"................................................................................This is gonna take awhile "

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Oh believe me Roberta dear im absolutely delighted as well! " he ahd yet to sing with Roberta so he was happy to do so now " Well I have quite a few ideas, give or take a thousand, but i'd like to hear what you suggest before I suggest anything myself "

Sandra: I do like Avril Lavine, I have a keen liking towards the song Nobody's Home.

"Sandra knew of all these bands and that was the song most recognized to her. Though in her mind it wasn't necessarily the song of choice, she was confident that she could make any song her own. It was having to perform it with Victoria that was the issue. She never performed before with someone she hated, and wasn't sure how that'd effect her singing."

---

"Tesla thought about the choices."

Tesla: We could go classical/Broadway, but generally the queen bee over there (Emmet) handles that. The others probably want to be hip and cool with more modern style music. So, how about we go in a different direction. How does Bon Jovi or Dio sound to you?

"Tesla no doubt wanted the top spot, but fighting Emmet on his own turf probably wasn't the best choice right now. So she ruled out a Broadway performance, she also however wanted to stand out instead of doing what most of the rest of the class is probably doing, so she also ruled out hip hop. Her decision fell upon some old school rock and roll."

---

Katy: Sadly not a big lot, I was thinking maybe Gangnam Style, seems simply enough and really is a dance focused song.

"Katy was a little let down about not being more prepared for something like this. But at least some ideas was better then none at all."

"Hmm how about some Freddie Mercury?" Tyrone asked having a song in mind. He was already thinking about some old school songs before Garfield suggested it. He had no allusion to challenging the more top tier singers since this was just more about enjoying himself than anything else. "Maybe something like Radio GaGa? Its going to a bitch to turn that into a duet."

-------------------------------------------------

Tie's lips twitched as she fought back a laugh and instead let out a light chuckle. The situation that led them to not turn their blades on another was itself absurd. "Hmm how about something with a bit of a pop? Beyonce and Lady Gaga's Telephone will definitely fit." at the moment Tie was ready to get on the stage. She couldn't help but feel some urgency considering the stench of hellspawn was invading her nostrils.

The creature is your partner.

"Ah but where are my manners, what would you suggest? Even a novice must have some say." at that moment Tie couldn't help but let some arrogance slip through the cracks in her mask. The worst thing about being next to Riku was that he brought out what she's been attempting to reign in. Luckily for her they were going to perform soon and that was always a great way for her to in some way be herself.

-------------------------------------------------------

"I was thinking maybe going with some Katy Perry but," Roberta's repertoire of music she actually cared for was small and finding something good for a duet was pretty difficult."I'm not sure what we should do. Maybe California Girls?"
