Kaia had throw a pair of jeans and a black mesh long sleeve shirt on over her white bikini before heading in to the living room. Bring in a small stereo she placed it next to the TV, hooking it up to the TV and plugging a few mics. After turning the TV and Karaoke stereo on she messed with a few nods adjusting the volume and such.

Tretin met Kaia in the living room and there she sat on one of the plush couches, popping bubble gum as she watched Kaia set up the karaoke maching thinking this is going to be fun...or at least interesting. "I'll be back" she said, suddenly springing up from the cozy couch and sauntered into the kitchen where she began to look through the cabinets.
She pulled out a couple of large bowls, one red, one blue, placing them on top of the counter. Tretin found the pantry where she took out a couple of packets of popcorn, tore off the plastic wrapping and nuked them individually them in the microwave, and while she waited she went into the pantry again, this time grabbing a bag of Ruffles potato chips. After she tore it open she poured the chips into the blue bowl then headed toward the fridge where she took out a 6-pack of soda and went back to the living room, carefully carrying the sodas and the bowl of chips in her arms, she momentarily sat them down on the couch so that she could clear the coffee table which was cluttered with magazines and the like.
After placing the chips and soda on the small table, Tretin quickly scurried back into the kitchen, where she began emptying the bags of popcorn into the red bowl. She swallowed her gum and popped a few kernels in her mouth before returning to the living room, placing the pop corn bowl next to the bowl of chips and soda, she rubbed her hands against her jeans for a moment and remembered to get the napkins.
She let out a sigh and made her way back into the kitchen, grabbing some napkins, then yanked the refrigerator door open again and took out a tub of dip, she rushed back into the living room and shifted one of the bowls on the table to make room for the new items. Tretin plopped down on the couch again and looked to Kaia and karaoke machine, her hands steady peeling open the dip container.

After she was finished setting up Kaia placed a rather large stack of CDs on the table next to the chips and popcorn and everything else. "Take your pick." Kaia said as she flopped down on the couch next to Tretin.

"Okay!" Tretin nodded at Kaia and crammed a few more chips in her mouth, forgetting about the napkins she wiped her hands on her jeans and began rummaging through the CD's, so many to choose from. She picked out Rock Steady by No Doubt. She popped open a can of soda and took a sip from it, "So do you want to go first?" She asked a little nervously, followed by a giggle.

"Hm?" Kaia's solid black eyes opened a little wider upon hearing Tretin's question. Sitting up Kaia quickly checked the living room to make sure that Tretin and her self were the only ones there, the last thing Kaia wanted to do was embarrass her self. "Sure," Kaia answered as she stood up from the couch. Grabbing a CD from the stack she moved to place it in the karaoke machine.

Tretin grabbed a handful of popcorn and rested her back against the support of the couch and watched as Kaia placed the CD into the karaoke machine, curious as to what song she was about to sing.

The song began with a an up beat rhythm that played for a moment before moving in to the lyrics. As Kaia held the mic she wasn't even facing the TV that showed the lyrics on it's screen. In stead she closed her eyes blocking everything else out to loose her self in the music.
"You always said I don't know you I'm not like you But you don't know, what I'm about I asked you out you jerked me about And I reacted how I know how
(But now) what about the time I talked to you (To find out) where we stood and where we stood was (Drunk and) barefoot on the sidewalk of the 7-11 oh I was in heaven
I don't know you And I'm not love by you And I don't have a void inside me Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need
So you've come around to town to work where I play Praying for the day that you'd come around to where I was with you with My head on my hands, and you in my heart
(But now) what about the time I talked to you (To find out) where we stood and where we stood was (Drunk and) barefoot on the sidewalk of the 7-11 oh I was in heaven
I don't know you And I'm not love by you And I don't have a void inside me Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need
(Give me the chance) to be a man not just a friend who understands if I've got the brains (and the balls) to write this song from john Denver (country road) I deserve a shot (and you could tell me) to go to hellll and I would go And write a song there from where I waaaas, just like this onnnee, wriiiiitteeeen welllll... and I would callll it the song from helllllll...
I don't know you And I'm not love by you And I don't have a void inside me Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need
I don't know you And I'm not love by you And I don't have a void inside me Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need Hopeless neeeeed....."
The music faded to stop after a moment, over all Kaia had a really nice voice, once that was able to display a lot of emotion and flowed along well with the music.

Tretin listened to Kaia sing, smiling and nodding along to the tune, thoroughly enjoying herself while she continued to stuff her face with popcorn, chips and more soda. When the song was over Tretin clapped her hands and smiled, "That was good! That was good you should like, be on American Idol!"

"Yeah right." Kaia said sarcastically while rolling her eyes, even though it was hard to actually see her eyes moving with no white in them to define the pupil. Moving over to the couch Kaia passed the mic off to Tretin before plopping back down in to her seat. "Your turn."

Razorhawk had been sitting in the back listening to the second half of the song. They must have not noticed her come in so she decided to speak up, "Tretin's right. You do sing well."

Hearing another voice Kaia nearly jumped out of her gray and white skin. As she turned to look at Razorhawk, Kaia's normally snow white face flushed a pale shade of pink. "Heh, yeah well just the same, I'm not exactly TV material."

Glanced at Razorhawk and grinned, then turned to Kaia. "Okay..." She let out a nervous giggle and got off the couch to her feet, by now she was barefooted. She walked around the coffee table with the CD and popped it into the karaoke machine pressing buttons until she found the right song. She held the microphone to her mouth and started to sing in her horrid, rough, ear-splitting singing voice thinking she sounded okay.
The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt Come here a little closer 'Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up (Get over here) (Get over here)
You got me feeling hella good So let's just keep on dancing You hold me like you should So I'm gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing
Tretin starts to dance a little swaying her hips to the music giggling in between the words, every now and then glancing at the tv screen just to make sure she got the words right.
A performance deserving of standing ovation And who would of thought it'd be the two of us So don't wake me if I'm dreaming 'Cause I'm in the mood come on and give it up
You've got me feeling hella good So let's just keep on dancing You hold me like you should So I'm gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing
She started jumping up and down basically screaming the song at the top of her lungs.
You've got me feeling hella good So let's just keep on dancing You hold me like you should So I'm gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing
Ooh yeah yeah Ooh yeah yeah
You've got me feeling hella good So let's just keep on dancing You hold me like you should So I'm gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing
At this point she rips the ponytail holder from her hair and starts shaking her head wildly about, still dancing and screaming the song loudly, she was having fun with it, but sounded bad.
You've got me feeling hella good So let's just keep on dancing You hold me like you should So I'm gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing
Keep on dancing Keep on dancing
Tretin let out a big sigh, her face red and shiny with sweat and brown hair wildly strewn all over head, giggling she plopped back down onto the couch, taking a long sip of the soda, finishing it off.

Grant had walked in partway through Tretin's song followed closely by Jasmine. He grinned slightly "You mind if I give it a try?" He smiled at Jasmine as she shook her head and walked over to the couch. He knew that Jasmine didn't like him showing off.

Druid heard some girls singing downstairs, so he decided to join them. When he entered the living room there were a number of people there: Grant, Tretin, Kaia, Jasmine, and a girl he hadn't met yet with metal wings. I'll solve that problem he thought as he somewhat limped and sat in a chair next to her. "What's up? I'm Druid," he said, introducing himself.
A little surprised to see someone sit next to her, she replied, "I'm Razorhawk. Are you here to sing as well?" she inquired, after introducing herself.
Oh, no, I hope not. People tell me I sing great, but not in front of everyone," he answered.

Despite Tretin's ear splitting voice Kaia managed to offer a bit of smile. Glancing around she noticed they were drawing quite a crowd. With so many people she was content to simply sit back and watch, hopping she wouldn't have to get up and sing in front of so many people.

Grant sighed and walked over to the karaoke machine. He put in his A7X cd and turned up the music. The beginning cords of travelled throught the room. Grant took a deep breath and began to sing
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care Converse behind my back, but now I'm here Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me) One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you) I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies
You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breath A crutch for you that won't always be there Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me) One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you) I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Run from me before I tear you down (be afraid) You chose the wrong side (it feels so right) I won't help you, let you rot away (despise what you say) Run towards the light exposing your soul (we won't be there by your side) Salvation's dying (somebody's crying) We're all gone in the end, sweet child we'll miss you No, so far away, far away
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Falling away, can't buy back time Burned it down anyways

Tretin scooted over to make room for the others on the couch, she watched as Grant sang an unfamiliar song, nibbling on a few ruffles and nodded along to the music, she particularly listened to the lyrics which she was beginning to like. When the song was over she clapped.
