Friday Assembly/Recital

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

The auditorium stage has been transformed into a series of moving sets and curtains. After the students and faculty take their seats Lorne steps out and waves to the crowd. "Hey all you groovy cats and kittens out there! Thanks for coming today! All my music students are very excited to perform for you today and can't wait to get things started. So without any more delay? Let's light this firecracker!"

Conner didn't come out on stage right away.

Instead, a very large bottle (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/genie-bottle.jpg) stood in the middle of the stage. It shook a little bit, then the top popped out, which was probably a good thing because otherwise the voices coming from within would have been completely muffled.

"Gee," came Conner's voice in a high-pitched tone, "I'm so bored. And I feel trapped. I wonder why nobody ever talks to me?"

"That's because you keep yourself all cooped up," he continued in a lower, gruff voice. "Stop being so stuffy! Get out there and have some fun!"

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes. Now go! You're using up all of my air."

And then the bottle sat there for a while. And sat, and sat, and sat. Some of the more perceptive, and the people in the front of the audience, might have noticed it starting to wobble a bit after a minute or so.

Still nothing.

. . . and then the bottle fell over onto its side, and a very disgruntled Conner crawled out of it, wearing a sheer and billowy red outfit and fez (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/omgwtfjeannie.jpg) and looking like he wanted to die.

"Oh!" he said in the high-pitched voice, though his facial expression still broadcasted total disgust, "I'm free! I feel so . . . liberated! I think I'm going to do something shocking!"

Cue the music! And the gyrations, which were an absolute requirement for this sort of music! Conner was actually frighteningly good at them, although he looked horrified to realize that he was. Or maybe it was that he was horrified at showing them off in front of everybody.

Oh . . . I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me

You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that dont mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby

Oh whoa . . .
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa . . .
But my heart is saying no

Ack, borderline indecent hip gyrations. Involuntary. Totally involuntary! Honest!

If you wanna be with me, baby
There's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out

The music's playing and the lights down low
One more dance and then we're good to go
Waiting for someone who needs me

Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gonna be tonight
Baby, baby, baby

Oh whoa...
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa...
But my heart is saying no (no)

If you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Come and set me free, baby
And I'll be with you

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out

My body's sayin let's go
Oh whoa . . .
But my heart is saying no (no)

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out

If Kira ever got hold of video footage of this, he was just going to flat-out die.

Bel fell out of his chair laughing.

Conner was wishing very, very hard that he had Kira's old supersonic scream ability right about now. Oh, yes he was.

For a long moment, Wilson simply sat there, stunned...then of course there was applauding and finally he was marking down Conner's test score while wiping away tears of laughter.

Oh dear lord but Lorne was a genius.

Conner thought he could spot his teacher laughing in the audience, and really hoped that was a good sign for his makeup test grade. He managed a jaunty little tip of his fez before he made it offstage. Granted, the effort he had to put into making it jaunty would probably leave him drained of all energy for the rest of the day, but by God, he managed it.

Anders? Totally laughing his ass off. And maybe wolf-whistling a bit, 'cause hey, Conner did have really nice abs and at least the outfit did them a favor.

"At least you're wearing red, dude!"

Peter was laughing so hard at this point that his face hurt.

Luke did not understand Earth.

At all.

Parker's beginning to wonder if her own humiliation is a small price to pay for a copy of this tape.

Just when he thought that today couldn't get any funnier, this happened. Kawalsky laughed so hard that he fell sidewards off his chair, dropping his phone. He spent the entire time trying to fumble around for the phone and laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.
