Romance 101, Wednesday, Period 4 -- Class 5

Much to the horror of most of the class, they would find a karaoke set-up in the front of the room when they arrived. Don't even think of trying to slink away; Drake would hunt you down and drag you back, kicking and screaming.

"All right, kiddies," Drake said, clapping his hands and rubbing them together. "Love songs. I had you dance to them once, but today, we're going to sing them. Don't worry if you don't have a great voice. Sometimes embarrassing yourself a little can be a really romantic thing. So you're going to pick a song and belt it out. Sing from the heart. It's the words and the emotion that matters, not your voice. I'll step up and get you started."

The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling
that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it?

It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love


"Now, your turn. If you have trouble, I'll pick a song for you."

Cara was a master of stealth, she was sure she'd be able to reach the door without being noticed.

At the sight of Drake shimmering, Cara's hand automatically snapped up in case she needed reflect any magic tossed her way. Of course that probably ruined any chances of claiming she wasn't trying to escape.

"Mord'Sith aren't travelling performers, we don't sing," she tried instead. "Besides, I don't know any love songs." Ha! She could hardly be made to sing a love song if she didn't know any, could she?

Edmund had fully intended to try sneaking out, only to see Cara beating him to it and being foiled in her attempt.

He was doomed. Completely and utterly doomed to sing in front of his peers. The look on his face was somewhere in the realm of alarmed, bewildered and lost. "This is madness."

Edmund would have taken being kicked into a pit over having to sing. "I mean this with all due respect, sir. You're a very interesting person." For some definitions of interesting. "Can I choose an older song? There's one I remember from Earth, only it's from quite a long time ago."

Cara was about this far from pointing out she couldn't read English, but her resistance against admitting a weakness won out. "Fine," she replied through gritted teeth.

Oh, sure, someone else had to go for the door. Meanwhile Kitty was looking at the floor and hoping so hard that it was basement under there. Of course, she might be in a little bit of trouble if it wasn't.

So Kitty just tried to make her way towards a wall, slowly, very slowly, so as not to attract attention, totally planning on phasing out of there so hard, omg.

After casting a brief glare at it, Cara ignored the karaoke machine and started singing (for values of singing that included monotonal reciting of lyrics) The Mord'Siths' Agiel Has a Knob Near The End, a fairly filthy D'Haran drinking song. Of course, any D'Haran drunk, stupid, or insane enough to actually sing it within earshot of a Mord'Sith would have soon found out exactly what she used her agiel for.
