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.

	"/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)

	"Bruce keeps saying how important goals are," she said with a grin. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside. (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)

	"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)

	crossbow_bat 2012-08-07 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	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)

	crossbow_bat 2012-08-14 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I think Man! I Feel Like a Woman would be /perfect/ for you," Maria teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-08-14 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure you do." he replies, with a playful poke to her ribs with a fingertip. He's not sure how ticklish she is or isn't. "Still better than suggestion 'Kryptonite', but still. Any other thoughts?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-08-14 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	Maria squealed when he poked her in the side. She was very ticklish. "Stop that!" She flipped through the book and it didn't take her long to find a song. "I dunno. If you're up for it we could do a duet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-08-15 01:34 am UTC (link)
	He can't help but grin, and take note of the spot. "Sure, if you're up for it. What duet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-08-17 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Let me think on it," she said. "But right now I know what I'm going to sing." She grabbed the pen and a small slip of paper and wrote down her choice. Keeping it out of his sight. She grinned and went to hand it to the DJ. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll have to wait and see... and look forward to this then." he replies, jotting down his own first selection and turning it in, before heading back to the table to wait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
