Chapter Text
Jay had dragged everyone out for karaoke, booking out a room.
He called it a "group bonding exercise", and It had been a train-wreck so far. Evie was constantly screaming Beyoncé at the top of her lungs, Mal wouldn't stop choosing sad songs that constantly brang the mood down, Carlos kept shouting at everyone for being too loud, Dude was making everyone insecure, and Ben was just desperately trying to keep his sanity together.
Jay sighed, walking up on the stage and grabbed the idle microphone, "I have a new idea."
Everyone looked up at Jay,
"We all like to randomly burst out into song on the spot, right? Freestyle it, y'know?"
Everyone nodded, unsure where Jay was going with this.
"It's terrifying," Dude muttered, Carlos gave him a light whack on the head.
"Well! Let's do a freestyle, all of us! Teamwork, and fun!"
There was a bunch of intrigued looks, but Carlos still looked nervous.
Jay looked over towards Carlos, "would it help if I chose the order that people will get up and sing?"
Carlos nodded, shrinking back in his chair now that everyone was looking at him.
Jay clapped, forcing attention automatically back onto him. "Alright! The order is - I'll start us off with a chant to get hyped, then Carlos—"
Carlos cringed, why did Jay have to put him first?
"—will sing a verse, then Evie!"
Evie looked excited.
"Then me," Jay smirked. "Then Ben,"
Ben looked startled, he thought Jay had forgot him. But he was happy to give it a try.
"Then, last but not least. Mal."
Mal looked up at him, she wondered when Jay had gotten so enthusiastic about singing.
"And any of us can provide backup vocals at any point," he grinned. "Dude, hit the beat!"
Everyone (minus Jay,) looked at Dude in shock as he ran over to the DJ booth in the back of the room and started DJing.
Jay smirked, "hit the lights!"
Dude hit a button and the room lit up in rainbow shapes that were dancing around the room.
Everyone looked back to the stage as Jay warmed them up,
"Go! VKs, Go! Go! VK's, Go-go-go-go-go-go!"
Carlos walked up nervously as Jay sang them in,
Jay hopped off the stage, handing the mic to Carlos as he passed him.
"Carlos! Talk straight up, to an animal."
He sang out as he walked onto the stage,
"Animal?" Jay challenged,
"Animal?" Evie continued.
"Yes, any animal!" He continued, starting to get into it.
"Boom, pow! Yeah, Dude can talk now!
"Ooohhhhh!!" Ben hyped, liking how happy Carlos looked.
"Check out my dog now!" He grinned as Evie strutted up to the stage,
He passed the mic to her, jumping off and landing in a split just to show off.
Ben looked mildly shocked and Carlos ran back to his seat, high-fiving Jay.
"The Evie! The Queen! The Shein, The Mean!" Evie danced around the stage, letting the music flow through her.
"The villain princess in my villain attire!" She blew a kiss.
Mal smirked, that's her girl.
"The energy blast! The supersonic speed!"
Jay smiled, walking up to her, "Is she down with the VKs? Is she down with the VKs? Is she down?" Is she down?"
Evie grinned down at him, "oh, the yes indeed!!"
She tossed the mic at him as she jumped off.
He caught it and did a flip onto the stage, definitely showing off now.
"Boo-Yah! Boo-Yah!" Jay jumped around the stage, letting himself feel the energy of the music,
"Got my fighting tactics!" Jay walked over to the wall, grabbing a decorative sword from it, and spun it around his head.
"Jay, woo, baby! Mister high stakes master!"
A few eye rolls were seen around the room. But Ben liked this energy, he wanted to hype Jay up like Jay had been doing for the others.
"W-w-w-w-what-what?"
Jay grinned at Ben, "Mr. Flirtatious Disaster!"
"W-w-w-w-what-what?"
"Mr. Boom-Boom Blaster!"
Jay jumped off the stage, walking through the various audience of his friends.
"Vee- Vee, Kays! The VKs! The VKs!"
Others started joining in as he walked through the stadium.
"Is she down with the VKs? Vee- Vee, Kays?" Dude echoed.
"The VKs! The VKs!" Jay continued.
"Is shе down with the VKs? Vee- Vee, Kays!" Carlos chimed in,
"The VKs, The VKs!" Ben continued as Jay handed him the mic,
"Boom with thе smoke!"
Dude pushed a button and coloured smoke filled the room, Ben walked through it. Walking up to the stage.
"Bombs and boomerangs!"
Ben continued as he climbed the stairs to the stage,
"My orders hittin', steady doing my thang!"
Carlos cringed, Ben had never been good at coming up with things on the spot.
"Benjamin-Benjamin, the leader!"
Mal raised an eyebrow, since when was Ben the leader?
"Benjamin-Benjamin, In charge!"
Jay scoffed at that, they had to rescue him from the isle. He was not in charge.
"Show 'em your bad haircut!" Jay winked, as giggling was heard across the room.
Ben looked offended as he walked off the stage,
"No, Benjamin-Benjamin's Is good!"
Mal stood up, pulling the microphone out of her idiotic boyfriend's hands, before he made more of a fool out of himself.
"Mal is here to drop it on you even harder,"
Everyone looked slightly surprised as Mal began full on rapping as she glamorously walked up onto the stage, dancing around with full on energy.
"There's no darker than me! I'm as dark as can be." She smirked, her eyes glowing green for extra effect.
Jay pumped a fist in the air, nodding at her.
"Check it, Azarath Metrion Z-Z-Zinthos!"
Mal let her eyes glow brighter, as she started to levitate off the stage.
"Teleport and magical powers, we adios." She waved, disappearing in a cloud of purple smoke, reappearing sitting back down in her seat,
She tossed the microphone to Jay who easily caught it.
He walked around through the audience again.
"Vee- Vee, Kays, The VKs!" He tossed the microphone to Carlos,
The VKs, Vee- Vee, Kays!" Carlos smiled, tossing it to Evie,
"The VKs! The VKs!" Evie smiled softly, tossing the microphone to Mal,
"Vee- Vee, Kays, The VKs, The VKs." Mal grumbled out tossing it back to Ben,
"Vee- Vee, Kays, The VKs! The VKs!" Ben had bearly caught it with the way Mal threw it, so he softly chucked it back at Jay.
Jay easily caught it, continuing around the room, swinging off and jumping on various objects.
"Vee- Vee, Kays! The VKs!"
"The VKs!" Dude joined In from the back,
"Vee- Vee, Kays! The VKs! VKs!"
He looked around the room expectantly,
"VKs, GO!" Everyone yelled together,
The music ended and Jay whooped, thanking Dude.
"Jay! Dude?" Carlos walked over while the other three talked behind them,
"What's up Carlos?" Jay turned around.
"Did you two plan that? And HOW does Dude know how to DJ??"
Dude and Jay shared a glance, "That's a story for another day." Jay smiled as he turned back to Carlos.
"Oh, come on!!" Carlos whined,
Jay ruffled his hair, "go join the others, I need to clean up." Jay looked at the residue the smoke had left.
Carlos turned and ran off with a grumble,
"Told you that would work," Dude smiled out.
Jay turned to him, "thank you Dude, I don't know what we would do without you."
"Probably die." Dude smiled as Jay patted him, with a smile.
"Definitely."
