Kai’s Birthday: Chapter 14

 

 Saquinex shrugged and teleported to the stage. He wondered, if Takao and Kai tried to be mallicious or were joking. His whole team got the songs of Iced Earth from the album ‘Horror

Show’. His own was named ‘Dracula’ and was more of a love song than he expected. There ware also some references to the origin of the name Dracula and some human babbling about vampirism. All in all it could have been worse, decided the monster-captain, while giving the microphone to Lupinex. The were-wolfs song’s title was ‘Wolf’ – another obvious reference. Humans deffinately weren’t the most tactful beings. The only thing which was right in this piece was the fact that were-wolfs were vulnerable to silver – the rest, especially hunting familly members was pure nonsense. Humans missed the fact that wolves were pack animals ever so often. At least that song wasn’t about a merry little lamb or something similiar. Singing about food is so silly!

 The were-wolf happily handed the microphone to Zomb, who was supposed to sing ‘Frankenstein’, which was a very short summery of the first part of Mary Shelley’s book. The choice was clear proof that neither Kai nor Takao knew what tact was. Looking like the infamous monster isn’t something to be proud of and what you like to be reminded of. Plus it reduces your chances of finding a nice, pretty girlfriend to zero. When he ended, he noticed that Centaph didn’t look to upset. ‘His’ song was titled ‘Im-ho-tep’ and was also about curses – not to mention other angsty stuff – but at least it didn’t tell some nonsense about mumification. To be honest thec monsters weren’t so bad as somr people, who sung before them.

 It was Giancarlo’s turn. The Italian smiled cockily and started singing.

-         Naassun dooooorma!.. – the song sounded pretty well, one had to admit. But, when the blond Majestic was getting really wormed up, his mobile phone rung. He grabbed it quickly and immidiately started speaking in Italian.

-         Oh no! – groaned Johnny.

-         ‘E is going to talk for a looong time. – sighed Olivier. – It ‘as ‘appened earlier.

-         Get of the scene. – commanded Ralf. – Olivier, you do your part.

 The Italian went down, still engrossed in his conversation. The Frenchman had a sour expresion, when he heared the tune to which he was supposed to sing.

-         La chanson, la chanson des chevalieurs... – he sung. His voice wasn’t bad, but the the melody was absolutely horrible. It would have probably made Pavarotti sound like a croaking frog.

 However, if somebody thought Olivier got a really bad one, he soon changed his mind. The song, Ralf had  to sing, had a cheesy, flat melody and the text wasn’t much better.

-         Ich bin so schön! Ich bin so toll! Ich bin der Anton aus Tirol! – the German growled. He deffinatelly didn’t like that song. Fortunatelly, it wasn’t too long, so Johnny could take his place after a while. The Scott got to sing ‘The Clansman’, which was originally preformed by Iron Maiden. It was much better than the two previous songs, but Johnny – or better his voice – managed to spoil some parts. You see, he was at that moment of a boys life, when his voice is almost that of an adult, but sometimes changes to this charming falsetto. And so the maroon-haired teenager squeeled in some very inappropirate moments.

-         Johnny!.. – started Takao, but fortunately Max kicked him in the anckle.

-         You were worse. – hissed Kai.

 Meanwhile Yuri got on the stage and started singing – if the sounds he produced could have been called singing. Somehow he not only managed to sing every possible tune off-key, but also get those sounds near, which sounded worst. All in all he changed ‘Innocent’ – a catchy song by Abba – into a true cacophony. Almost everybody was wincing, while he was singing, but the red-head kept his face blank. 

-         We won’t ask you to sing again. – decided Kai.

-         Fine by me. – answered the russian captain. – I have no talent for music whatsoever.

-         Why didn’t you tell us?! – cried Mao, rubbing her ears.

-         I didn’t know it up to now.

 Every single birthday guest made a very surprised face. But than Sergiey remembered it was Boris’ turn. He quickly grabbed his lavender-haired teammates hand and dragged him to the stage. The pale Demolition Boy glared at the blond and started singing, or rather chanting fastly in a monotone voice:

-         Allzevingzshezadallzevingzshezadrunningvrumyheadrunningvrumyheadziziznadeenaf...

 If the two PR-lesbians from T.A.T.U. heard Boris’ preformance of ‘All the Things She Said’,  they would have fainted on the spot.

-         Sing it one more time! – yelled Takao and several other beybladers, including the other Demolition Boys, followed him. The Russian glared at them.

-         Let me drink something first. – he said, some unrecognisible new tune in his voice. It sounded almost as if he were surprised. He jumped of the stage went to the bar to get something to drink. Max chuckled.

-         I didn’t know he had a sense of humour. – the blond boy laughed.

-         I don’t. – was Boris’ answer. – You were all halucinating.

-         You’ll do that again? – pleaded Miaka, making a very cute face. – Please? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease?

 The pale teen’s eyebrow started twitching nervously after the fifth ‘please’.

-         Will you stop bugging me then? – he growled. The black-haired girl nodded and grinned tryumphantly. The lavender-haired Russian acually had to do at least five preformances and he would probably do more, if he hadn’t started croaking at the end of his last preformance. It appeared, he was for once regarded in a positive light... And he enjoyed it – not that he showed it of course!

 And than came Ivan’s turn. The tiny Demolition Boy was supposed to sing ‘Girls Wanna Have Lunch’ – another Weird Al Yankovič parody. It seemed, that Kai and Takao chose it only because it required a nasal voice. But than the choice they made for Sergiey seemed complitely errand: ‘Like a Surgeaon’ also by Weird Al Yankovič. What made them choose that, was beyond the blonds idea. Not that he bothered to sing it properly anyway. All he wanted, was to keep away from anything conected with singing. Unlike Yuri, he did know how he sounded – and didn’t like it.

 Fortunately for him it was soon Miaka’s turn. The small Japanese bounced on the stage and looked at the text of her song. Then she winced.

-         It’s so unhappy! – she exclaimed. – Can’t I get something happy instead?

-         No. – said Kai.

-         Please?

-         No.

-         Pretty, pretty please?

-         No.

-         Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top?

-         No.

-         Prettyprettyprettyprettypleasepleasepleaseplease....

-         No! – the red-eyed teenager growled. – Stop complaining, you could have got a worse one.

-         Awww... All right. – sighed the black-haired girl. She started singing an Iced Earth song by the title ‘Melancholy (Holy Martyr)’. The band deffinetly hadn’t intended to let someone with a chirpy, girlish voice sing it, so it sounded more than little odd.

 

 

Translations:

-         La chanson, la chanson des chevalieurs – the song, the song of the knights

-         Ich bin so schön! Ich bin so toll! Ich bin der Anton aus Tirol! – I’m so beautifull! I’m so grat! I’m Anton of Tirol!

 Giancarlo sung a part of an opera (but don’t ask me which... I forgot it!). Ollivier got the opening song of Saint Seiya – French version... Believe me it’s awful!
