Chapter 18: Karaoke Time! Another new addition to Avalanche!
 

Tifa popped in a CD with the song that Christy had selected. Music started to play, and Christy came out in a white tang top and blue jean shorts, and started singing.
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that’s drifting over me
And when I wake you’re, you’re never there
And when I sleep you’re, you’re everywhere
You’re everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you’re here and who you are
Cause every time I look you’re never there
And every time I sleep you’re always there

Cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it’s you I see
You’re everything I know that makes me believe
I’m not alone

I’m not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
Sephiroth and Cloud’s jaw dropped, as they saw Christy pull off some dance moves, and they seemed to touch the floor. Tifa and Yuffie were giving engorging shouts, while Reno gave some wolf whistles. Christy blushed, but continued singing.
Starting to think that you might not be real
A sense that now the waters getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

I’m not alone
I’m not alone

And when I touch your hand
It’s then I understand
The beauty that’s within
So now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there comes never a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

Cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath, it’s you I breathe
You’re everything I know that makes me believe
I’m not alone

You’re in everything I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
After Christy was finished singing, she had received a round of applause. Blushing, she exited the stage, receiving hugs from everyone, save for Sephiroth, who just stood there and stared at her. When she walked by him, she heard him say, “You have the voice of an angel.” “Thank you, Sephiroth.” She whispered, and blushing, she sat down at the table that they had just occupied. “I’m going next!” Yuffie exclaimed, running up to the stage. Everyone groaned, while Yuffie stuck her tongue at them. Getting on the stage, she popped in her selected song into the slot. Music played, and Yuffie started to sing.
I used to think
I had the answers to everything
But now I know
Life doesn’t always
Go my way, yeah…

Feels like I’m caught up in the middle
That’s when I realize…

I’m not a girl
Not yet a women
All I need is time
A moment that is mine

I’m not a girl
There’s no reason to protect me
It’s time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I’ve seen so much more than you know
So tell me to shut my eyes
“Stop! The agony! The torture! Make her stop! I’m getting a headache!” A very drunk Reno shouted, making the music stop, and everyone looked at him, very angry. Yuffie just looked like she was about to cry, but instead, she whipped out her shuriken and started chasing Reno around, who was laughing his head off, even though he might lose it. Tifa sighed. “Guess it’s my turn!” she said cheerfully and headed up to the stage. Reno and Yuffie stopped long enough to see another guy walk up onto stage also. The two started talking and Tifa nodded her head, and popped in the CD. The two started singing as the music started. Reno and Cloud looked about ready to kill the dark skinned man when he linked arms with Tifa.
What’s my mother****** name?
R-U-L-E
Blowin’ back on this Mary Jane, I’m analyzin’ the game.
And the game done choose me.
To bring pain, and p**** n****, and h*** holders, it’s one in the same.
Ever since you told me…
There’s only room for 2. I’ll be making less room for you.
Now only God can hold me.
Hug me, love me, judge me, the only man that can help is above me, holla.
I’ve met so many men
And, it’s like they’re all the same.
My appetite for loving
Is now my hunger pain.

 And when I’m feeling sexy, who’s gonna comfort me? Cloud and Reno’s jaw dropped when Tifa sang these words. Reno then grinned, and yelled something that sounded like ‘me’, but Christy clamped a hand over his mouth. Sephiroth and Yuffie rolled their eyes in union. Cloud was still staring at Tifa, who looked like she hadn’t heard anything, but the blush on her cheeks gave it away. She continued singing along with the black man, who had a deep voice.
My only problem is
They’re insecurity.
Tired of being alone, yeah, yeah.
Sitting there arguing on the phone, yeah, yeah.
 While you’re telling all your friends, yeah, yeah.
That your nigga don’t understand my love.

Cause I’m real.
The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk.
Cause I’m real.
The way you stare, the way you look, you style your hair.
 Cause I’m real.
 The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild. If looks could kill, the man would be six feet under. Cloud and Reno were giving him dangerous death glares, but the man ignored them. Christy and Yuffie were cheering Tifa on, while the rest of the male population seemed to be doing the same save for Sephiroth and the gang.
Cause I’m real, and I, can’t go on without you.
Girl I be thinking about this relationship,
And I wanna know is this as good as it gets? Cause we’re been through the worst times, and the best times,
But it was our time even if it was part time.
My baby be lookin’ at me, smilin’ at me and laughin’ like we wasn’t happy,
But not knowin’, we growin’ and gettin’ married.
Hard loving, straight thugging,
Baby, I ain’t doing this here for nothing.
I’m here to get it poppin’, hoppin’, let’s ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin’ in the wind sun glistenin’ off my skin,
 I’m nasty, huh, you know me.
But you still don’t feel with your baby.

Cause I’m real.
The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk.
Cause I’m real.
The way you stare, the way you look, you style your hair.
Cause I’m real.
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild. Cause I’m real and I can’t go on without you.

Now people loving me and hating me, treating me ungratefully,
But not knowing that they that ain’t making or breaking me.
My life I live it to the limit and I love it.
Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again.
Now people screaming what the deal with you and so and so.
I tell them n*****, mind their own biz, but they don’t hear me though. My life I live it to the limit and I love it,
Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again.
Tired of being alone, yeah, yeah.
Sitting there arguing on the phone, yeah, yeah.
While you’re telling all your friends, yeah, yeah.
That your nigga don’t understand my love.

Cause I’m real.
 The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk.
Cause I'm real.
The way you stare, the way you look, style your hair.
 Cause I’m real.
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild.
Cause I’m real, and I, can’t go on without you.

 Cause I’m real.
 The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk.
 Cause I’m real.
The way you stare, the way you look, style your hair.
Cause I’m real.
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild. After they had finished, the two received a round of applause, but receiving glares from Reno and Cloud. When Tifa came down, arms still linked with the man who looked rather enthusiastic, Cloud stiffened, while Reno gave a smirk. “Babe, you were wonderful up there.” Reno said, slinging an arm around a giggling Tifa. “Thanks Reno,” The others gathered around her, and her friend. “Who’s your friend, Tifa?” Christy asked curiously. The others nodded, looking curiously at her friend. “Oh! How silly of me! This is-“ just as Tifa started introducing them, a gang of people, wielding weapons and Shinra logos on their hats burst through the door. This was obviously going to be bloody.
