Open mic night.
How cool.
Ophelia walked in the bar, definately in the mood for some singing. She was a karaoke whore. She even owned a mini one, which was in her room. And she used it to annoy her sister, who was obligated to hear her constant singing 24/7.
The girl was wearing a long black and hot pink striped shirt, with ruffled short sleeves and a ruffled hem. It stopped around her thigh, creating a mini-dress effect. Hugging her legs were a pair of old, washed-up dark jeans, with the usual rips and shreds. Her hair was loose and straight, but she'd just put on a heandband. It was black and a small bow was on it, tipped to the side of her head.
The girl walked in and sat down at a random table. This was fun. It was an outdoor karaoke, stuck on the terrase of the bar. It was illuminated with white Christmas lights, but kept warm thanks to the glass walls which were installed over the summer. How appropriate.
She started flipping through the song book, ready to rock. |

Antony had found himself at this karaoke thing. Cause A he needed a replacement in his band because Adam had quit because his family had called upon him to come do work for them.
He stood there looking around he saw a girl sit down at a random table and walked over and sat down next to her. Today he had on his feet a pair of black vans. the left foot had green laces and the right hot pink. On his legs were a pair of darkwashed girl jeans that fit him loosely. They were held up by a belt that was designed to have piano keys painted on it. On his upper body was was a tight purple shirt with a lime green dinosaur on it with the words 'GRAWR' under it. Over that was a black hoodie just as tight as the shirt. On the front was Gir. That was cut in half by the unzipped hoddie. He sat down by the girl and smiled. "hello"He said.

She looked up, smiling.
"Hi." she said, grinning form ear to ear. It was as if no one could erase that girl's smile.
She looked at the boy, inspecting what he was wearing. Cute. "Ohmigod." she said quickly, "I /love/ your shirt." she told him, before noticing Gir on his hoodie. "And Gir rocks too." she said, laughing as she pushed the song book in front of him.
"Pick a song. I'm no good at choosing." she told him, smirking. [/center] |

"Thank you! I love this shirt to. A little dinosaur, and then Gir is always grand!"He said smiling. "Your jeans are awefully cool, and that minidress shirt thing is awesome too!"He declared looking at the book. "Slow Down.. By The Academy Is Almost here is great! You should sing that if they have it!"He said as he started flipping through it. He finally found the song and pushed it towards her. "There you go."

"That is a good song." she said, nodding as she wrote down the number on a piece of paper. She wrote her name and told the boy "Be right back." as she walked up to the DJ and handed him her paper. He smiled, putting her name on the list as she sat back down.
"I think I'm like, next next." she said, in her own way of saying there were two people before her, one who was still through half his song.
"You gonna sing too?" she asked him, as she bopped her head to the music, tapping her hands to the beat on the table. She was so excited to get on the stage. |

"No, I get enough of singing on stage with my band."he said running a hand through his messy brown hair. "It gets boring when you do it at a bar like this after you've had a band to run with. But I might be loosing that unless I can find someone else to join, we just lost a member and now we need a new one."he said frowning. You better soak it up, he hardly ever frowned for long.

The girl gasped excitedly, one of her over-excited girly gasp. "Ohmigosh,youhaveaband!" she quickly, thinking being in a band had to be the coolest thing in the worling. "That's so rad." she told him, after hvaing turned it down a notch. Just a notch.
But as she heard the rest of his news, she frowned sligthly. That must've suck, to have lost a member.
... Maybe she could--
Nah. Well. Maybe he'd ask.
If not, she'd finish by asking.
She smiled softly at the frown on his face, blurting out randomly "You're cute when you frown." She glanced up at the stage as a new person went up and started singing 'I Will Survive'. She giggled softly, saying "A classic when you kareoke." There always seemed to be someone who would sing it, along with R.E.S.P.E.C.T. |

Antony smiled. "Excited much? I enjoy that. It is rad. Thats why I'm here looking for a new person. Who knows, if I like you, I might ask you to be in the band."He said "I'm cute when I frown? Really? I don't even think I'm cute when I smile. But Zanna said I wasn't ugly and then you said I was cute.. You people must be blind."He said smiling softly. "But thank you."

She laughed, running her hand through her hair out of habit. It was just like when she bit her lower lip. She grinned from ear to ear as he mentionned he would maybe ask her, sarcastically saying "Riiight.. No pressure, huh?" She giggled as he said she must have been blind, only to smirk.
She looked at the stage, watching the group of girls singing. "They're funny.." she said with a light chuckle, as the girls sang off-key and laughed.
She coulnd't wait for her turn, and it soon came as the girls stopped and bowed. Playfully saying 'thank you' to the crowd, they left. The DJ spun another disc, mentionning in the mic "And now, let's give it up for Ophelia, singing 'Slow Down'!"
"Whee!" Ophelia squeaked in excitment, running up to the stage and immeditaly grabbing the mic, ready to rock. |

He laughed and said quietly to himself "Nope, no pressure, you're crazy you'll fit right in." He looked at the girls she said was funny and laughed. Yes those girls were funny with their singing off key and well, just bowing to the crowd and thanking them. "I can't wait to see it!"Antony said to her as she ran up to the stage, not sure if she heard him or not but he did it anyway. Settling down in his chair he watched her he'd actually listen to this one just to see if she would fit in their band. After all, a girl in an old guy band would be great.. Maybe she could actually get them to behave?

Ad the music started playing, Ophelia tapped her feet to the beat, letting it sink in.
She closed her eyes, singing the first verse in its slow, calm beat.
"Close the door and take the stairs
Up or down, Ups and downs
Don't pretend you've never been there
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor
Who's starving for work
With one last shot to make it happen
You won the role, you've played your part
You've been cordially invited
But I'm not impressed
And I'm definately not excited
Cause the film runs a shallow budget
And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper
So dive right in.."
As the beat got faster, the girl tapped her feet along and started bopping her head to the music. She started singing the chorus, grinning at the crowd. The girl was playing up her playful smirk, as if she were flirting with the audience.
"Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
Don't quit 'til 47.
Then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster." |

Antony smiled and taped his fingers to the beat. This had to be his favorite song in the whole wide world. Nodding his head to the beat he mouthed the words to the song while still listening to her. When the beat got faster he stoped nodding his head and just relied on his fingers to keep the beat smiling. 'Shes good' he thought to himself 'She'll be a perfect replacement.' Truthfully, if he had been standing up he would have danced like he did on stage when he sang some of the songs.

As she sang the most up-beat and fast-paced part of the song, Ophela let herself get a bit more loose. Funny how this could happen without her having a drink or two like most girls. She took the mic out from the stand, grinning as she sang along, feeling the energy of the music take her over. "Take back everything you ever said
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said
You never meant a word of it
You never did.."
The girl shook her hair, dancing to the music. Hips swaying form side to side, she twirled around, being her own crazy self. The girl jumped up and down, twirling on herself.
As the beat came back to slow for the second verse, she slowed down too. She kept the mic close to her lips, smiling secutively at the crowd.
"She said, 'Alright, alright slow down'
Oh no, oh no we won't
Cause I regret everything that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special
Or that she ever really mattered
Or did she ever really matter?"
She then went on again to the chorus, giving it the same energy as before. Dancing, jumping, shaking her head - she just was herself. |

Antony smiled 'She'd be perfect for the band!' he thought to himself eyes open so he could make sure this was the right decision, even though he was /sure/ of it. He'd bet his life on it if it came to it. It wouldn't, but still it helped to be sure of one's self. Nodding his head along to the beat again barely noticable if you were far away but close up you could tell. His leg was moving with the beat of the music. They would be able to make some real music with that girl. She'd be completely perfect for the band, and the guys, he was sure would welcome here with open arms. They did it for every girl.. Or, so it seamed.

And soon finishing the song, she ended with "I'm not like them..." she sung, before adding, in a more soft, hushed voice. "I won't buy innn.."
She smiled, putting the mic back in place as the crowd clapped their hands. She gave a "Thanks." into the mic, before jumping off the stage. The blonde ran over back to Anthony, quickly sitting down.
She coulnd't wait to know if he'd liked her or not, so she asked, biting her lower lip. "So..?" |
