Trust me, you'll have fun
Maria's efforts to get Jon to relax and have fun continued. It was Thursday and it was their night out and Maria had come up with something new for them to do. Karaoke. She'd bet a million dollars that he had never done karaoke in his life, or even been to a place where they had karaoke. It was time to introduce the Boyscout to karaoke.

She waited outside for him to show up.

	"It's an all ages club," she pointed out. She wasn't trying to corrupt him. At least tonight. She glanced at him and then reached for the door before he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She reaches first - he cheats with super speed. "Ladies first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"/You/ cheat? Maybe there's some cracks in that boyscout armor after all." Maria grinned. "Come to the darkside. We have cookies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria kissed his cheek. "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckles and gives her a one armed hug as she leans in to kiss him. "I know, I know. You take pride in your bad-girlness. And no, that doesn't mean you get a spanking." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do." Maria frowned. "Darn. One of these days I will get a spanking from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not sure that's what he..." he's dragged along, really not arguing the point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, I know," she said. They found a table near the stage. Right now there was a woman up there murdering "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-08-06 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Ok, so how does this work for signing up for songs and all?" Perhaps surprisingly, he actually seems interested, despite the current song-murder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Go over there," Maria said as she pointed. "They have books with what they have and you pick a song and put your name on the list." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-08-07 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "Shall I put you down for anything? I'm going to go pick a couple out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a few, but I also want to look over the list." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough. Shall we get our drinks, then go take a look?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Works for me," she said with a grin. When they reached the bar there was a drink already waiting for Maria. She did come here often. It was one of the few places she liked going and hanging out. Also she was a closet karaoke lover. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It doesn't take him long to order his Coke - nice and predictable and everything. He's never done karaoke before, but has no problem with the concept, apparently. He's used enough to being in the public eye, and seems to have something in mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-08-14 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Maria got a rum and Coke and sauntered toward the table with the song lists. "Oh what to pick," she said as she started leafing through one of the books. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-08-14 01:21 am UTC (link)
	"Any suggestions?" he asks, looking over her shoulder as she goes through the book. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
