Parents Weekend for John Connor

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John comes to the realization that he probably left the karaoke machine on the 3rd floor.

On Parents Weekend.


"Oshit."

After dinner, Anya and D'Hoffyrn notice the karaoke machine still on in the Third Floor Commons.

"Hey, do you think you can get this working for us?" she asks big daddy H D'Hoffryn.

Is this a sing along box? Fun!

"Yes, oh D'Hoffryn last night we sang all night long and it was very fun! Are you up to putting on your singing shoes?" Damn those human saying! They always get her.

Of course, Anyanka. I do a mean "Black Magic Woman." Let's do it.

"I think you just do this," she says while punching buttons randomly on the machine. Just her luck, she picked the right ones!

"It's ready to go!"

John races up to the 3rd floor to rescue the karaoke machine from a face worth than disco.

"Meow."

"Hey kittie," Anya calls to the cat that appeared from......?.

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

The door. He's exploring.

Faithful padded over to Anya. "Meow?"

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

She didn't see it come in.

"Hey little kitty," she says, but not in the babytalk way most girls would.

"Who do you belong to?" she wonders outloud.

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

"Meow!" Faithful glances up at her with oddly familiar purple eyes. "Meeeeoow." He offers his tummy for rubbing.

John nearly tramples over a cat, but his lightning quick reflexes save him from impending doom by having him bounce off the wall instead.

[He snatches the mic and begins singing when the song starts]

Got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
But she's a black magic woman
And she's tryin' to make a devil out of me

Don't turn your back on me baby
Don't turn your back on me baby
Yes, don't turn your back on me baby
You're messin' around with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
'Cause you might just break up my magic stick

break:

You got your spell on me baby
You got your spell on me baby
Yes, you got your spell on me baby
You're turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad, magic woman, I can't leave you alone


Yes, I need you so bad
Well, I need you darling
Yeah, I need you darling
Yes, I want you love me
I want you love me
Whoa, I want you love me, ah
Whoh, yeah
Oh, whoa, baby
Yes, I need your love
Oh, I need your love so bad
I want you love me

Anya recovers from her near pummling.

"Hey John," she says. "Hope it's o.k. if we play a bit."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Just don't break it or make it stuck on 'Blue Suede Shoes' or something. It's all good."

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Since that man Ash isn't here, I don't think that will be a problem," she says.

"John, that is D'Hoffryn," points to demon belting out Santana. "I suppose Parent's Weekend isn't anything too exciting for you since your mom's already here?"

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

Faithful tries not to laugh. "Meow!" His voice is a bit indignant.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," John said, nearly running over a bent Anya.

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"It's o.k.," she says getting up.

"Who's cat is that anyways?" she asks him.

New song children!

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,

Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.

John applauds softly.

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"John, you should sing now!" Anya encourages him.

((Bedtime for mun. will continue tomorrow))

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

((ooc: sounds good to me. Talk to you tomorrow))

Just to continue the theme, JOhn punches in the Screamin' Jay Hawkins version of "Put A Spell On You."
