Chapter 6: Karaoke

Hee hee. Title says all

"Run!" Blue said loudly near my ear as our fingers intertwined.

"Oof!" I exclaimed as I tripped on the concrete, pulling Blue down with me.

He stood up. Then he grabbed my hand and helped pull me up. I fell on my ankle and cried out in pain.

A moment later Blue wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me up. I wrapped an arm around his neck. We started hobbling towards the doctor's house.

"You are going to slow. Let me do this." Blue said annoyed as he picked me up bridal style.

I blushed and said "No. No I don't need help."

"I'm not putting you down. We're trying to run from Vio. Not get caught."

"Fine." I say giving in.

We -or should I say he- walked in silence for a few minutes. I didn't like the silence so I asked Blue "Hey Blue, can you communicate with the other people who wield the triforce?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Because I need you to tell the other three I wanna meet them at Telma's bar in about half an hour."

"Sure." he said as he wrapped his arms around me so they could touch and he touched his the back of his hand. "Done."

He adjusted holding me when a woman stopped us the person said "Aww.... How cute young love."

"What? No.... We're not... No." I said baffled at the thought. Blue had the same expression on his face.

"No. We're not in love. No... We're not..." he looked at me and said "Oh..." then he walked away.

We -he- walked buried in our thoughts until Blue said "We're here."

Blue set me on the couch while he spoke to the doctor in another room.

After a few minutes of me in my thoughts the doctor came in the room with Blue

The Doctor said "Put your leg on the table."

I obeyed.

He examined and fingered my ankle. After a bit of fingering and examining he said to Blue "Her ankle is not hurt bad, but it is sprained. So she will need gauze on it for a couple of days and she has to keep her foot elevated. And you'll need to change her gauze every twelve hours next week is when she doesn't need gauze. She should use crunches. That's what I recommend."

"Okay I can do that." Blue said as the doctor handed him a note then started to wrap my ankle in gauze. The doctor handed me crunches. 'Yeah.. Like he's responsible enough to do that.'

"Thank you sir. For helping me." I say to the doctor. 'Since when am I polite?'
**************
Blue helped me on my crunches at first, but then I got the hang of it. We walked -not so much me- to Telma's bar.

Blue helped me down the steps and got the door for me. I walked (if you can call it that) into the bar. Blue followed the suit.

I heard a gasp. "Five rupees it's Red." I heard Blue whisper in my ear.

"Ten on.... Hmm... Vio." I whisper back.

"Fifteen on Red."

"Twenty on Vio."

"Twenty-five on Red."

"Thirty on Vio."

"Forty on Red."

"Fifty on Vio."

"Sixty on Red."

"Eighty on Vio."

"Hundred on Red."

"Let's go see who gasped at my ankle." I say grinning knowing it was probably Vio. We walked over to see his jaw dropped. I leaned over and whispered in Blue's ear "Ha! Do want to give me my rupees now or later?"

He growled in resonpse. I chuckled.

"Are you okay?" Green asked me. I nodded.

"Oh my goddesses! What happened?" Red asked going nuts.

"I tripped."

"Oh."

Blue handed Green the note the doctor gave him and gestured for me to sit down with
them. "Here."

"Anyways...." 'Yeesh! Boys are so unfocused.' "I need to tell you guys something."

"Okay." Green spoke gently knowing it was important.

"I'm not Ilia. I'm Alia. And well... um... I'm a shadow. And don't remember a thing
before I was thirteen. Oh, and I'm fifteen."

"Wow...." I heard Green whisper. I saw Blue try to hide his surprise. I flashed a smile,
but then it faded.

"Be right back." I turned to see Vio up at the stage signing up for karaoke.

"Well, then why do you have brown hair instead of black?" Red asked.

"I don't know! Don't ask me!" I say frustrated. I turned to see Vio walk back to the table
and asked him with disbelief "You sing karaoke?"

"No. You do." he grinned and my eyes got wide.

"I'm gonna kill you." he just smiles evilly.

"Up next for karaoke is Alia!" I heard announcer say very loudly.

I glare at Vio, he just shrugs and -still smiling evilly- says "Pay back for taking my
breakfast. Now isn't it?"

"I hate you."

"I know."

Then Vio, Green, Red, and Blue start to push me up, but that just causes me to dig my
heels in the ground deeper.

"Go up or I'll... I'll..." Blue stuttered with the threat.

"Or what you'll hit me? You can't hit a girl." I say taunting him.

"Or I'll chop off your arm." Blue threatened.

"Please go up there." Red begged.

I shook my head and said "No."

"You're mean!" Red insulted me. I turned around and slapped him. Tears gathered in his
eyes.

Blue took advantage of this moment and picked me up like a potato sack.

"Put me down! I said put me down! Now!" it didn't get him to put me down excepted for
on the stool on the stage.

Music started to play. I looked at the dude doing the music, I got up walked over to
him, and told him "Move over."

"Fine. Just don't jack up my computer." he said practically spitting the words out.

I grabbed my IPod from my back pocket, plugged it into the computer and downloaded
the music off it. Once the music was downloaded I said "This is for that boy in my
memories. I can't remember his name right now though." I played the music and sang:

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Poor me a heavy dose of the atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to ya dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'till I look at my hands and feel sad
The spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought
'cause when I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you
tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes grow wider
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh only if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling I wish you were here

As I was singing I saw Vio's shadow smile. I squinted at the sight of it.
I walked off the stage with my crunches and over to the boys.

"Wow... You were awesome!" Blue told me.

"I didn't know you could sing so well." Red told me excitedly.

"You were amazing." Green told me happily.

"You were great up there." Vio said.

"Well, I hope you all are good singers 'cause I signed y'all up. You should be up next." I
say smiling evilly, pointing to Blue.

"What song is he singing?"

I turned around to see Zelda. "Nice Guys."

Zelda laughed "That's hilarious!"

"Up next is Blue!"the announcer said cheerfully.

Blue sagged his head and said "Do I have to?"

"Yes. I command you to." Princess Zelda commanded.

Blue walked up to stage and started singing when the music came on:

Nice guys finish last
That's why I'll treat you like trash
It's not what I really wanna do
But you only date bad guys
So I'll give it my best try
To treat you the way you want me to
I'll never open the door
Or pull out a chair
You tell how your day was
But I don't really-

"Okay I'm not singing this crap." Blue walked off the stage with
his face scarlet. The four of us were cracking up.

"Up next is Red!" the announcer called out.

So Red went up and sang *These are the Thing You Don't Say to Your Wife* and then Green sang *Misery*.

Now it's Vio's turn....
