Karaoke Time!

*There is a karaoke machine in the bar. It is very large and very pink.

Therefore, Xander assumes that it must be evil.*

Wow ... didn't know they had an open mike night ...

*He approaches the karaoke machine slowly. It lights up and looks inviting-- as inviting as a possibly-evil-because-of-its-pinkness karaoke machine can be.*

Whoa!

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I sae the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong


And then, another rant.
He paces back and forth rambling into the microphone.
"Oh, COME ON! What's funny about this for me is that I liked this song since it was still on the charts and everywhere where I've gone, New York, Boston, London, whatever, people were all 'Oh, I never heard of it' and I say 'Don't you listen to the radio? They play it every thirty minutes!' and they look at me and frown and say 'I don't listen to the radio.' So I say 'Well, what about MTV? They played it just as much on MTV!' and they feed me this line about how 'oh well, i don't have a lot of time and i don't this and i don't that and I don't watch the MTV.' And I say to them...

DON'T LIE TO ME. DO NOT LIE TO ME.

You know this song! You WANT to sing this song! Deep down inside of you, there's someone who wants to go out to clubs and dance and sing but you're afraid that it won't look right or you'll make a fool of yourself but you know what? We're at the END OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE! Nobody will care! Nobody will tell, and there's no film in the cameras, so you've gotta sing along with me on this chorus or so help me god, I will start shooting people right here! I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD!

Under the pale moon
For so many years I've wondered who you are
How can a person like you bring me joy
Under the pale moon
Where I see a lot of stars

YOU HAVE FOUR MEASURES!
ONE
TWO
THRE
FOUR!

At which point she trails off, because nobody should be forced to listen to her sing. A life time of shouting at people to get out of the fucking volcano has taken its toll.

And given the rather weak response, Deadpool frowns, and almost hurls the microphone to the floor. "What the fuck, Milliways? ACE OF BASE TRIED, DAMNIT! THEY TRIED HARD! ALL THEY EVER WANTED TO DO WAS MAKE SWEET SWEET POP-STYLED LOVE TO YOU! HOW CAN YOU SPURN THEM IN THIS, THEIR HOUR OF NEED?"

"Because I'm not nearly fuckin' drunk enough!"

He frowns and the microphone falls from his hands.

He's on his knees. "WHY, GOD? WHY?"

She could say that it has something to do with T snapping up the good ones. But we don't know if this is the right MilliTime for that. So she shrugs, flutters her wings, and has another drink.

And if Deadpool quantifies as one of the "good ones", then your priorities are seriously wack.

Regardless, he sits there, slumped and mumbling dissatisfiedly until someone eventually does drag him out, but probably not into the light where he belongs.

It has been postulated that the Faeries need serious therapy considering their choice of males to flirt with.

Obviously.
