Karaoke Time!

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

*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!

That's when I always tell that if I'm gonna grow up
I'll do it on my own sweet time and what I become is still up to me!

*Xander and Andrew do-si-do before the bridge starts.*

*Andrew air-guitars on the bridge.*

In the sandbox and on the jungle gym
Barbie dolls and Tonka trucks were made for her and him
I don't know
I don't kno-o-ow...

*Xander harmonizes with Andrew, playing air drums to his air guitar.*

But you just ask my mom and she says I can be whatever I want to be
And you just ask your dad if you can come over and play with me-e-e-e ...

[stilljustandrew]

*There's an instrumental break here. Andrew air-guitars some more.*

I want to have a Stetson hat and a long trench coat
And I want to find a case-solving clue on a bloodstained note
Mysterious dames will hire me
To solve their dead uncle's mystery
And I'll carry a gun but I'll only shoot the bad guys
I ... want to be a private eye!

I want to say, "Land ho! Argghh! Avast!" and "Batten down the hatches!"
And I want to have a peg leg, a hook for an arm, and two eyepatches
I'll run you through then make you walk the plank or
I'll tie you to a two-ton anchor
I'll be a pirate I'll show no fear
I ... want to be a buccaneer!

*Xander and Andrew do a complicated jazz routine, wherein they swing each other in circles, clap hands, and even leapfrog.*

*If Meg ever had a chair - and I say she did - she has fallen off it.

Silly Meg. Don't you know rolling on the floor laughing gets your tutu all dirty?*

[stilljustandrew]

*Andrew comes spinning out of the last jazz movement and strikes a heroic pose.*

I wanna be a photo-journalist college kid
And I wanna get bitten by a radioactive arachnid
One lesson that'll be learned by me
Is that with great power comes great responsibility
And I'll have an uncanny spider-sense and web-shooters on my hands --

*He does the webshooter gesture. With both hands.*

I ... wanna be Spider-Man!

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

*As the music fades, the boys pose-- Andrew as Spider-Man, Xander in a piratelike position. Of course, there are spirit fingers.*

... We never speak of this.

[balletrat]

I do! *Meg says cheerfully, and brandishes her EZ-bar-provided-camera proudly, from the floor.*

[stilljustandrew]

*Andrew looks around at the crowd.*

If we were going for super secret I kind of think it didn't work.



[ooc: His mun would like to point out that he's wrong. This song, "Cowboy Secret Space Detective," and several other terrific songs by Ookla the Mok, can in fact be found on their theme album Super Secret. Order your copy today!]

*Xander glances around.*

This is a good point.

*He tries to grab the camera from Meg.* Meg! Give me that! This is NOT for posterity!

[balletrat]

*Meg scrambles to her feet and ducks ably behind Andrew, giggling.

What are boyfriends for if not to hide behind when people want to steal your incriminating photos?*

[stilljustandrew]

*They may be for trying to grab said incriminating photos.*

[balletrat]

Er. Night, Xander . . .

*Exit one ballerina, pursued by bear geek.*

[xan-shaped.livejournal.com]

Hey! Hold on, halt! Cease, desist, come back!

*Xander slumps to the floor.*
