It started off small. Ruby and Blake were out of the team dorm room that night. Ruby opting to attempt perfection for her Dust Bullet idea and Blake curling up with a new book in the library. Which left Weiss along with Yang for now, the quiet strangely appealing. Considering what both were doing as they wrote to home...Letters that helped to make them feel somewhat closer as Yang looked proudly at her beginning, laid out on her bunk.

"Dearingly, darlingest popsicle!"

Weiss rolled her eyes. Was that even still English as with more dignity she sniffed and wrote out.

"My dear father...."

"There's been some confusion over rooming in space and time."

"But of course I'll care for Ruby-"

"But of course, I'll riiiise above it-"

"-For I know thats how you'd want me to respond, yes."

Both blinked at the sudden unison their letters seemed to go as they realized in tandem they spoke aloud. And turning slowly, Weiss made eye contact with Yangs as their eyes narrowed and now speaking aloud as they dictated, they continued.

"-There's been some confusion for you see, my roommate is..."

There was silence, like the calm before a battle is waged as Yang made eye contact and spoke. Her words carefully chosen, skirting at the edges like a fencer who tested an opponents defense with jabs.

"-Unusual and improbable and altogether impossible to descriiiibe."

Unfortunately, Weiss was skilled in fencing as she said flatly, the stare still locked as she returned fire-

"Blond."

-And dropped the mic. It was so on now as Yang inhaled sharply and leaped off the bed to land on the Dorm floor.

"What is this feeling, so sudden and new?"

Weiss sprung to her feet from where she sat.

"-I felt the moment, I laid eyes on you."

Yang took a step closer.

"My pulse is racing."

Weiss took a step in turn.

"My head is reeling."

Boom. Personal space now as they were practically touching noses as Yang growled.

"My face is flushing-Oh, what is this feeling?!"

As one they threw their arms to the sky and spun in a circle before circling as they locked gazes once more, singing in perfect harmony. Ice meeting fire as so engrossed were they, they missed Blake returning who blinked and settled in to watch the show.

Fervid as a flame! Does it have a name? YeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! LOATHING! UNADULTERATED LOATHING!"

"For your face-"

"-Your voice."

"Your clothing!"

Yang ignored the indignant gasp that came from Weiss and by extension, Ruby who had just walked in the room in time to hear it.

"Lets just say....I loath it all! Every little trait however small! Makes my very flesh begin to crawl! With simple, utter loathing! Theres a strange exhilaration. In such total detestation- Its so pure, so STROOOOOOOOONG!"

Completely into it now,Yang and Weiss would be spinning and dancing around the room as they sang, arms up in the air as they brought them down in choreographed fury.

"Though I do admit, it came on fast. Still I do believe that it can last, and I will be loathing, loathing you my whoooole, liiiiife long!"

"DEAR YANG YOU ARE JUST TOO GOOD!(*Snicker*) How do you stand it, I don't think I could! She's a terror,she's a tartar("Hey!" From Weiss), we don't mean to show a bias but Yang you're such a martyr!"

Yang sniffed and made a show of looking at her nails as she glanced towards Ruby and Blake,who had broke out into the student part as they stood back to back in synchronized poses.

"Well. These things are meant to TRY UUUUUUS!"

"Poor Yang forced to reside, with someone so disgusticified. We just want to tell you, we're all on your SIIIIIIDE! WE SHARE YOUR LOATHING!"

And then the dorm erupted into a perfectly harmonious combination that was team RWBY, complete with dancing as they spun, sang and in Yang and Weiss's case, BURNED as they locked eyes while circling and dancing around each other.

"WHAT IS THIS FEELING, SO SUDDEN AND NEW? I FELT THE MOMENT
I LAID EYES ON YOU? MY PULSE IS RUSHING-MY HEAD IS REELING...MY FACE IS FLUSHING- OH, WHAT IS THIS FEELING? EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT
HOWEVER SMALL! MAKES OUR VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL...
"

If a fly was to dart between the gazes, it'd have caught on fire from the intensity alone, never mind the auras.

"LOATHING!"

"LOATHING!"

"-THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION, IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
-SO PURE, SO STRONG! THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST, STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST ALL- AND I WILL BE LOATHING FOR FOREVER , LOATHING TRULY, DEEPLY LOATHING YOU, LOATHING YOU
FOR MY WHOOOOOOLE LIIIIIIIIFE LONG!
"

The music rose in crescendo as Team RWBY posed as one....And then collapsed as sudden dragon tackled them all to the floor in laughter and assorted yelps.

"...So you guys really think we can win this?"

Weiss snorted.

"Please, our musical victory is a shoo-in."

It was a quiet day aboard the TARDIS... Ben, recently returned from his mission through time was quietly kicking his football in the gym, a bowl of Cap'N Crunch and his Cybertron figurines set aside some distance away... try as he might, not even his favorite things could raise his spirits.

Except for his true, one most favored thing on the ship... Sun Wukong. The cool Sun Wukong.

Sun couldn't bear to see his bro like this... he had a part to play in recent events too, after all. And after their recent, failed prank, he felt the need to set a few things straight anyway. It was with that in mind that he burst into the gym, boombox over his shoulder playing a soothing melody as Ben blinked and glanced up. Sun felt no need to explain... Ben would understand everything as soon as he burst into song, his voice falsetto like Michael Jackson.

"Let's face the facts about me and you, our love un-specified... though I'm proud to call you "Benny bear", the crowds will always talk and staaaaare~!"

Ben's went rigid, his nose wrinkled in confusion and he furrowed his brows, raising a hand dissuadingly even as Sun approached as he instinctively opened his mouth to cut him off in tune... his voice baritone, deeper and distinctly more manly than Sun's. Had to be that chin.

"I feel EXACTLY those feelings too, and THAT'S WHY I KEEP THEM INSIIIIIDE - 'cause this bear... can't bear the world's disdain... AND SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER TO HIIIIIDE~!"

They sucked in a breath in unison, singing from their diaphragms in perfect sync as they threw their arms up, lost to the music.

"Than explain our GUY LOVE! That's ALL it is! GUY LOVE! He's mine, I'm his! There's nothin' gay about it... in our eeeeeeeeeeeeyes..."

"You ask me 'bout this thing we share..."

"And he tenderly repliiiiiies~"

"It's GUY LOVE..."

Their eyes met, softened by affection. "...betweeeen twooooo guuuuuuuuys."

There followed a brief pause until Ben sighed and rolled his eyes, turning back to the wall to hammer the soccer ball against it as he reluctantly continued the song. Might as well open up now. "We're closer than the average man and wife..."

Sun held up his wrist with an overjoyed smile. "That's why our matching bracelets say Ben and SunnyD!"

"You know I'll stick by you for the rest of my life..."

"...you're the only man who's ever been INSIDE OF MEEE-EEEEEEE~!"

Ben's face blanched and he waved his hands frantically, breaking the song's rhythm and turning to the gym's other occupant... a bemused Sherlock, mildly horrified as he worked a punching bag nearby. "Whoa, whoa, I just took control of his nervous system-!"

Sun moved closer, his voice tender. "There's no need to clarify--"

"--Oh no?"

"Just let it grow more and more each day! It's like I've married my best friend..."

"...BUT IN A TOTALLY MANLY WAY!" Ben's voice crescendoed in passion, cracking slightly like a rocker's.

"(LET'S GO!) It's GUUUY LOVE! Don't COM-PROMISE! The feelings of some other guy! Holding up your heart into the skyyyyyyy~"

"I'll be there to care through all the lows!"

"I'll be there to share the hiiiiighs~!"

"It's guy love, between two guys!"

"And when I say, "I love you Ben", it's not what it impliiiiiiies~!"

"It's GUY LOVE... between... twooooo guyyyyyyyyyyyys."

Ben wiped away a tear from his eye, moving in for a manly handshake, but Sun shook his head.

"No hands."

And they manly hugged instead.

"What on earth was his problem?"

Mused William Terentius as he Sherlock power walk right past him on his way from the gym as he sniffed.

"Not even so much as a "well met." Such was the lonely life of a guard as he shook his head and then ran into- Oh! It was the Alchemist of the Apothecary!

"Well met, Magister."

In return, Watson blinked and then sudden comprehension as he nodded and waved.

"Er, right. Hello-Listen! Um...Have you seen Sherlock wander past-"

William nodded and pointed and as he did so, revealed on his hand a wound he had sustained earlier...An accidental cut when he was cleaning his blade, nothing more a true Imperial couldn't handle. Watson however blanched as he approached and grabbed it.

"Oh my god, what happened to you?!"

Shrugging off the hand, William would be somewhat disturbed as he saw Watson grab it again. Was the Magister- No. It couldn't be and within his helmet, his eyes narrowed as he considered....Always in the company of the pale one. Sharing a room no less...OH! He quickly pulled his hand back and saluted.

"Nothing a true Imperial cannot withstand! Fare thee well, Majister!"

And power walking away, he headed for his quarters...Where his room mate would be relaxing.

And feet propped up and clad in a dressing gown, Reinhardt Steel-Shaker would sigh in posh relaxation.

"At last. Alone with my favorite book. "Winsome Wenches You Would Fain to Meet." No roommate to bother me. How could it get any better than this?"

And then William walked in.

"Nord."

"Imperial." (-_-)

"Thou wouldst not believe what I had witnessed with mine own eyes. The good purveyor of the Apothecary! He was approaching me...And talking at me-"

In his mind, Reinhardt was already putting him on a mental bypass as he settled to his book.

"-That's nice, Imperial."

"-And he did grab my hand twice! I believe he was swinging for the rougher sex, if you do take my meaning."

"Neaaaeat."

Reinhardt drawled as he turned a page in the backdrop of Williams talk. The latter took no notice as he continued.

"I do believe in fact he thought I was...Likewise,as unto him. "Gay" they call it, for I believe it gives much joy."

Reinhardt finally put down his book to give his roommate a flat stare.

"Milk-drinker, why would I care about the poor fruits of thine love life? Besides, he holds a torch for his partner already, let it go. What didst thou have for luncheon today?"

Williams eyebrow raised so high they vanished in his hair line as he suddenly smirked.

"Why so defensive, barbarian? I just think its something we should be able to talk about freely-"

"-This conversation is over."

Cue book brought back up.

"-But-"

"-OVER!"

William shrugged once, leaning on the back of the chair Reinhardt was in as he spoke casually before singing.

"Very well, Nord...But you know what?"

He cleared his throat...

"If you were gay, that'd be okay I mean 'cause, hey
I'd like you anyway!"

"...Imperial swine, what ARE you doing?"

"-Because you see if it were me, I would feel free to say that I was gay! But I'm not gay."

It was a flat look that Reinhardt would give William before shaking his head as he turned his attention back to his book, William performing a softshoe as he danced through their quarters.

"If you were queer...I'd still be here. Year after year, because you're dear to me! And I know that you, ("What?") Would accept me too! ("I would?") If I told you today, 'hey, guess what, I'm gay!' But I'm not gay."

"....Disturbance of the peace and attempting to prod a guard off duty? CEASE AND DESIST THIS SONG CRIMINAL SCUM AND PAY THE FINE!"

"-I'm happy just being with you!"

And then a wicked glint came into Williams eyes as he pointed dramatically at Reinhardt who had suddenly found himself standing up.

"-So what should it matter to me what you do in bed with guys?!"

"ARE THERE NO DEPTHS TO YOUR DEPRAVITY, IMPERIAL?! THE FINE IS NOW TEN SEPTIMS!"

"-If you were gay....I'd shout hooray!!!"

I AM NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA LA LA LA!!"

"And here I'd stay! But I wouldn't get in your way. You can count on meeee, to always beeee beside you every day! To tell you it's okay, you were just born that way! And, as they say it's in your D.N.A, you're gay!"

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT GAY!!"

"IF you were gay!"

The cry of anguish would fly throughout the Tardis.

Meanwhile, Galen had as usual, began working in his forge. The recent visit by Ray in particular and others always welcome, but when they left...It seemed so quiet, despite his efforts to make noise and tire himself out so he could experience dreamless sleeps, rather than the nightmares that oppressed him every time. Even now he could hear the whispers begin as he folded metal.

Assassin.....Murderer......Assassin.

He paused...No, he couldn't and he looked to the corner as he pleaded. "PROXY, run the program please." And once more as he closed the doors with a wave, would he lock and look at what might have been...The only images of the friends he had left from before. Master Kota...Juno. And quietly, in haunted tones he sang.

"Where did my time did go? It's me I must escape....My burdens I can't erase...The woman I might have saved." His hand moved towards the hologram of Juno sadly, passing through it as insubstantial as a ghost as he stepped back in the center of his Forge as his droids came to life, wrought by his hands as they watched in silence.


Assassin.....Murderer......Monster.

Kota, I need you now...Look what I've become.
The nightmare that THEY should fear-Is the monster you left alo~ne!
"

He gestured once, savagely towards the door that led outwards to the rest of the Tardis as he continued to stumble about his Forge, the very walls appearing to close in as he sang on, the droids watching like accusing judges before him of cold steel and iron.

Assassin.....Murderer......Monster.

It was all in his head.

Assassin.....Murderer......Monster.

It was all in his head!

Assassin.....Murderer......Monster.

But who was to say it wasn't true? And turning speedily towards the hologram, he walked forward quickly as he serenaded the image of Juno.Even after all these years, it hurt him.

"The years roll by without you, Juno. Seven years have come and gone. I tried to repent with the best intentions. But there is something I can't tell them! I am lost without you here!"

The Forge began to shake from the intensity of emotion, tools floating in midair among other things as Galen belted out.

"-I am only living out a lie!!"

Assassin! Assassin! Tardis Assassin!

And then his droids moved forward, surrounding him as they began to dress him in the black armor that had heralded his reputation as what he truly was, his gaze grim as one armor piece at a time, they slipped it on like minions preparing their master for war.

I'm the monster! (Assassin! )

I'm the villain! (Assassin! )

What perfection! (Assassin! )

What precision! (Assassin! )

"Surgical slashes, I deliver! Death in spades, I deliver!
Darkness rising, I deliver! I'm the Sith Lord, TARDIS Assassin!
"

Hs helmet sealed...And his respirator activated as the lights dimmed...The glow of the Forge Fires casting darker shadows as he looked at his domain.

"Hooooo-pah. Hooooo-pah...."

"EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY! RUBY, DOCTOR! COME SEE WHAT LUFFY DID!"

The Doctor and Ruby froze outside in the hallway, abruptly ceasing their smalltalk about ice cream and cool accessories... damn, it was too late. Luffy had already spotted the both of 'em... it'd be rude to walk away now. And so with a weary sigh and a look at each other that seemed to say "it's been an honor", they traipsed into his room... and blinked in sync. Luffy had a piano. And he was referring to himself in the third-person, but never mind that. A piano.

The Doctor was the first to open his mouth, skeptical. "...Well? What have you done, Luffy?"

"Well, I wrote my own song!" he replied, poised over the piano and grinning madly.

Ruby perked up immediately. She loved songs! Not singing, because that would require her to step up and be the center of attention in a non-combat scenario and that was nope, but still! She flashed a small smile and nodded eagerly. "REALLY? What's it called?"

""Luffy's Song"!"

"..."

"..."

"...oh. Clever title?" Ruby offered weakly.

"Yeah, wish I'd thought of that." the Doctor deadpanned.

"Well, do you guys wanna hear it?"

"Sure!"

"OK!" And he mashed his hands down on the piano keys, creating the greatest din the TARDIS had ever heard.



"This is the song
La la la la
Luffy's song.
La la la la,
La la la la,
Luffy's song!"


"I like it!"

"La la la
La la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"


"To think he wrote this alone." Neither the Doctor or Ruby were sure whether to smile awkwardly and make sassy remarks or facepalm, so they sort of just did both.

"La la la
La la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"


"Catchy." :|

"He loves to sing,
La la la la,
Luffy's song.


"Sing it!"

"La la la la,
La la la la,
Luffy's song!
He wrote the music.
He wrote the words.
Thaaaaaaaaaaat's Luffy's sooooooong!"


"Wow, that's great!" the Doctor said with the enthusiasm of a dying man.

"Yeah! Wish I had a song..." Ruby said with actual honest-to-God enthusiasm.

"You can share mine!"

She squee'd. "WOW, REALLY? How?"

"Well, just sing--"

"No."

"But-"

"NO."

Luffy frowned, heartbroken. "Awwww. Fine. How about you, bow tie guy?"

"To be completely honest with you, I'm far too worried that I of all people ended up getting the creepy bugeyed woolly-tonguey-mammothy's role to do much singing. Just what're you trying to imply?" :<

Luffy's frown only deepened. "FINE! Then I guess we're done!"

"I guess we are."

"Let's never speak of this again. Agreed?"

"Agreed."

And they all went their separate ways.

Mike Dawson had been abused plenty of times while onboard the TARDIS, from Yang trampling him and pounding the crap out of him for being a creep. Shrimp Baby had been murdered and there was nothing he could have done to prevent it. Something had to be done and thus, Mike decided to ask the only question that he could and taking a seat upon a certain bike, as The Voices appeared aside him bobbing their heads despite not wishing to.

"Mike. What the hell did you do?"

"Yeah. I'm feeling uncomfortable. Like seriously."

"Guys..I know you hate me but I'm so confused. No one has ever shown it to me. Not even my own mom! I was thinking maybe you guys would have the answer.."

"The answer to what, you fucking ninny?"

"Well.." Mike cleared his throat as he grinned and began to bob his head as did Voice 1 and Voice 2.

"What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh, baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more !"


"What is love?!"

"Yeah"

Mike gripped the handlebars of the bike and threw his head back, as he was having the time of his life.

"Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign!"


"I'll give you a sign you-What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more! Jesus make it stop!"


"
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh


"
Oh, I don't know, what can I do
What else can I say, it's up to you
I know we're one, just me and you
I can't go on

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more!


"What am I?! Chopped fucking liver!?"

"Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh
What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me.


"Oh god I think this is what it's like to be in hell!"

I want no other, no other lover
This is your life, our time
When we are together, I need you forever
Is it love

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh)

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh-ENOUGH ALREADY! JESUS. WE GET THE POINT!


Just as Mike finished, he turned to Voice 1 and Voice 2 who were both snickering. "So guys..What is love?"

"Oh you're about to see, Mike. We'll talk to you later, hehee.."

"Yeah, catch you around Mike."

With that Voice 1 and Voice 2 bolted for the exit as Mike scratched his head but then the loud roar of a pissed off seventeen year old blonde berserker filled his ears and made him tremble in fear.

"MIKE. DAWSON! GET OFF MY BIKE!!!"

"..What is love?"

*BAM!*

"Owww..."

And off in the distance, Voice 1 and Voice 2 having smartly hid to avoid being pounded by Yang as well peeked back into the box and did what one had come to expect them to do when seeing a broken and battered Mike Dawson before them.

"Hahahahahahahah!"

The curtain opens on a certain lady in red, who saunters out and after a slow piano buildup...

One! Two! Three! Four!
Followed by an a capella backup of percussion



"Darlings, you hound and chase me, some seek to erase me, but all fall short, so terribly short that I'm merely amused by the tactics that are used-" Carmen begins.


"And yet we can find you here, and just because you fear a certain fella, and what he'll do (even if you are singing a capella), It can be said, whatever is bred of this disastrous intent, it can prevent fair Carmen from her escape." From the wings, Jennifer Walters walks in, dressed in a dress fit for a Vegas Lounge.
"Green is so gauche, that look is truly 'out', not fit for the night scene..." Carmen counters.


"I knew you'd chime in something like that, Sandiego, but the boys can't get enough of this lady's green gams. Hit it boys!"

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, girl
I'm goin' away
Love me two times, girl
One for tomorrow
One just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me one time
I could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak
But love me two times, girl
Last me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Oh, yes

Love me one time
I could not speak
Love me one time, baby
Yeah, my knees got weak
But love me two times, girl
Last me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, babe
Love me twice today
Love me two times, babe
'Cause I'm goin' away
Love me two time, girl
One for tomorrow
One just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away


"Not bad, for someone looks like they should be a spokesperson for frozen vegetables." The Lady in Red responded, "But get a load of this!" She grinned and began singing, Why, are there so many, songs about rainbows?"

"Oh no, you didn't go there-" She-hulk began.
"I most certainly did, now if you'll excuse me, I didn't interrupt your song-" Carmen rebutted.
"Fine. Go on, see where it gets you." Jen gestured grandly as she said this.
"I will!"
"Go on!
"Gimme a chance!

"Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me"

"Is this a private competition or can anyone join?" Rayleen Thorne asked, stepping up to the two.
Carmen just smirked and dipped her hat with a nod.
"Honey if you think you can top us, go ahead."
"That's what I wanted to hear." She activated the hologram emitters in her suit, transforming her look and began her song.

Carmen tipped her hat again. "Good showing, but..."
"...I think that counts as a win for all of us, Ray."

 Raz's Secrets
Razputin Aquato
9:38pm, May 29, 2014
[Edit]

Raz had been exploring and finding out that everyone else was singing and stuff, he wanted to join in! But he needed a partner...Who could he pick-Wait he had it! Quickly rolling over to a door with a boombox in his right hand, Raz knocked on the door with his right as the door opened to reveal none other than Jack.

"Ah, Raz. What is it you need?" The samurai asked, glancing down at the young boy who smirked and gestured to the boombox before reaching into his backpack as he handed a pair of identical goggles to Jack who raised an eyebrow in confusion but not wanting to hurt the boy's feelings he'd take the goggles and slip them on as Raz grinned.

"You know how I taught you the eh eh eh eh eh eh dance, right Jack?"

"..Yes. I do, but if you do not mind my asking what is the point of the goggles and..that." He motioned towards the boombox.

"Well Jack, everyone is singing and I kind of want to sing but I needed a partner and I figure you'd be the best one! The goggles? They're to make you look cool like me!"

"I am sorry Razputin but I am not sure.."

*cue puppy dog eyes*

"..Alright.."

"Sweet, thanks Jack. Now just follow my moves and we'll be set!" With that Raz pulled down his own goggles and switched on the boombox and as it started to let out it's beat, Raz swayed from side to side before strolling down the hall as if he was some pimp as Jack listening to Raz's instructions did the same..

"I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell ya make sure nobody know because"
Raz started before pointing to Jack clearly wanting him to take the lead. Jack was hesistant and he had to admit, this music didn't really appeal to him at all but he didn't wish to break the young child's heart so he'd take a stab at this like any other challenge for him as he started to rap.

"In my lab I got fist
In my lab I got rhymes
In my lab I got funk in my lab
You can smell it when before you stepped in my lab
So loud make a brotha go deafed in my lab
The mad scientist I'm straight mad in my lab
Blowin up *** like Baghdad in my lab
Spies try to spy try to see up in my lab
Now private eyes hound while I be up in my lab cause
I know something that I can't tell
Won't find out cause I keep it so well
You can bang on my head till my head swell
I got a new formula I can't tell"


"Was that satisfactory, Raz?"

"Oh heck yeah Jack, but we're not done yet!"

"...We aren't?"

"Not even close. But I'll take it over for now!" With that Raz took back over the song as he got on his head and motioned for Jack to spin him. Shaking his head at the boy's antics, Jack grasped Raz's legs and spun the boy.

"Where I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a so
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell ya make sure nobody know because"


As Raz finished spinning, he'd hop to his feet as he moved his head to the beat of the music as he pointed at Jack. "Your turn to spin, Jack!"

"Are you sure this is required?"

"Yup!"

"...Alright."

The samurai then busted out some slick moves as he spun on the ground and performed some other break-dancing moves he had come out with on the fly.

"In my lab I got beats
In my lab I got feet
In my lab they try to creep in my lab
Conspiricists try to find out secrets to the lab
But information won't leak cause I keeps it in the lab
Top securi.ty so thieves can't nab
No way to obtain, no way to have
You can't grab on to what's not possible
Why risk your life going through these obstacles
Don't even try to get it
Don't even try to get it
A lotta people attempt it, but they gotta get it
And when they gotta get it, yo the secret's hidden
That's just the way the song's written, bro."


Raz giggled as Jack sang. "I gotta admit, you're doing a great job Jack but hearing you say bro is hilarious!" Raz then pulled out some moves of his own, doing the moonwalk both with his feet and on his thought bubble.

"I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can cause!"

"I am just happy that you are enjoying yourself, Raz. But I must ask. Is the song almost over?"

"Almost Jack, just a bit more! Let's take on the rest of it together!"

"In my lab I got beats
In my lab I got feet
In my lab I got rhymes
In my lab I got funk
In my lab I got skills
In my lab I got rhythm
In my lab I got this
In my lab I got that
In my lab I got all
In my lab I got of
In my lab I got you
In my lab I got wantin
In my lab I got to
In my lab I got listen
In my lab I got funk in my lab (yeah)"


"Now you can smell it when before you stepped in my lab
Make Dex go deaf when I'm bumpin in my lab
Huh? What? (pickypicky)
Talk about huh? What? What'd ya say?"

Raz asked as he placed a hand to his ear in a 'can you repeat that sonny?' as Jack finished the song up.

"I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a so
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit'a ha and a little bit'a ho
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell ya make sure nobody know"


"Word." With that, Raz and Jack posed next to eachother like two badass rappers.

thud thud thud

Benjamin Tennyson, at it once more, alone this time.

He halted suddenly, unexpectedly, the ball bouncing past, coming slowly to a stop.

Once more, the baritone came, anew.

The stars glow white amid the black tonight.

He peered to the Gym's ceiling, smirking. None of that here... but he followed through, feeling it flowing within.

Nary a stardust to be seen afar.

He turned slowly, regarding its emptiness, its dark tones, gazing over the disused bleachers.

A TARDIS of isolation.

A focused expression as he shot a gaze down the way, across.

And it seems that I'm its czar.

He rushed forth, throwing his arms open as he proclaimed!

The wind is howling like this swirling maelstrom inside!!!

He peered down to the floor, somberly uttering...

Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried...

His voice picked up, anew!

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the great guy you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know


At the last, he turned, gazing down the way once more, as he resounded explosively!

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!!!


He approached slowly, grinning softly to himself in particularly, as his voice rose.

I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the maelstrom rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!!!


It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all


He spun in place, propping his hands out in the open a la The King of Rock, humming as he sung on.

It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free


Oh yeah.

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry!!!


There he stood, gaze moving skyward, a single leg caroming!

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the maelstrom rage on!!!


His hands surged forth upward... and slowly descended as he softly spoke.

My power flurries through my body into the ground
My soul is spiraling in alien forms all around
And one thought structures like a genetic blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past


Came the full bodied caroming, accentuated with the rocking nods from Tennyson...

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect guy is gone


And he spun one final time, holding his hands out open to the side~

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the maelstrom rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway


A renewed, confident smirk emblazoned across his face as he lunged forth, punting the soccer ball.

thud thud thud

Ben's football bounced into the corner of the gym, where waiting for her solo number, was the B of Team RWBY. Arms crossed, aviator shades perched on her nose and a baseball cap with the emblem of a bumblebee stitched into it completing the picture as she flipped on the switch for her boombox...And the music began. Her head began to nod in approval...And she flashed hand signs and began to break dance. Her grace and timing that she used normally for her Huntress profession rocking the joint as she got up in the face of her opponent...A bemused Captain Hazama.




"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me!
But at the end you're gonna see...The only way to go through me Yeah, Yeah!"

"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me! But at the end you're gonna see! Because the victory is pulling you, right at me!"

She snapped her fingers and tapped her foot before spinning rapidly, ending on tip toe as she posed and snapped her fingers, z-formation.

"Do you really wanna know it? I don't think you wanna know it
The way that this is going down-There my hero on the ground!"

"Do you really think you can outsmart RWBY plans? I don't think you have a chance-chance, OH YEAH!!"

She belted out from the heart and flipped backwards in succession.

"I got my friends, Yeah they got my back! Yeah
my team will come and stop your attack! Pack your bags 'cause you're not staying long! Soon ya both are gonna-gonna be gone!"

Awwww yeah, she posed and began to rock her head.

"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me! But at the end you're gonna see the only way to go through me! Yeah, yeah."

"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me. But at the end you're gonna see-Because the victory is pulling you right at me!"

"Hey-Hey, what's going on?You know that I'm right
And you're so-so wrong- Come on!"

She extended her hands, making a "come-and-get-it" gesture as she grinned savagely and all but growled her next lines.

"-I'm giving you just one last warning, and that's no lie! Look around you,what you gonna do now? T-T-T-Try to come up but you're going down!
I'll tell you again that you're not staying long, listen you you're gonna be- GOOOOOONE!"

And cue new flurry of breakdancing.

"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me! But at the end you're gonna see the only way to go through me! Yeah, yeah."

"Step up step up, I'll let you try to get to me. But at the end you're gonna see-Because the victory is pulling you right at me!"

Yeah! EPIC POSE ENDING! Nailed it, she totally had him.

So why was he suddenly smiling like that?

.....And when did his clothing suddenly turn white?

Let me blow you Away!
You won't believe your eyes and ears today
You are in for a surprise
When you look into my eyes
You won't be able to deny my ga--- ze!

Sarge: Wait a minute your what?
Donut: Come on, Sarge! You can't deny my deep, penetrating eye contact! My gaze! What did you think I said?
Sarge: Um, don't ask.
Donut: Don't tell!

Let me blow you away!
There's nothing that I will not do or say
To entertain a red companion
In this hot and sweaty canyon
Like a stallion I am bursting through the ga--- te!

Simmons: A what?
Donut: You know! A stallion, a stud! A horse with a big
Simmons: Don't say it!--
Donut: --Saddle! Now, who wants to mount up?
Simmons: Oh god.

Let me start with this inquiry
Which I've recorded in my diary
I've got a secret thing I want to say

What's worse than a conundrum?
Or a cheerleader threesome? (Bitches!)
Not taking the time to enjoy life each day!

You see the fun will never cease
As long as we've got elbow grease
There's really nothing to it
When you're using head light flu-id!

Grif: Donut, you do know there's no such thing as headlight fluid?
Donut: Depends on what you mean by head!
Grif: I'm just going to pretend I don't know what you mean.
Donut: I'm just going to pretend you do!

I caught the fever for hot fun
And I'm recruiting everyone
You know this army needs a little style

Hold my ankles, stretch my hammies
I hope that you like double whammies
'Cause I'm gonna sing and dance until you smile

Some soldiers only work or nap
While I ride in shotgun's lap
The solution is simple
I'll fill them up with my po-ten-tial!

Simmons: Donut! Please! Enough with the double entendres.
Donut: Double entendre? Is that anything like a menage-a-trois?
Simmons: I give up.
Donut: In that case...

Let me blow you away!
Like a needle I'll get lost inside your hay
Easy if you know how, just like milking a cow
Like we do it on the farm back in I-O-W-A!!!!

Grif: So. You really grew up on a farm in Iowa?
Donut: Yep! You spend a lot of time thinking when you're on the farm. And then a lot of time repressing those thoughts.

Let me blow you away!
I'm on my knees just to have a chance today
If you see me winking
It's cause we both are thinking
This light-ish red armor looks so ga-- rish.

Simmons: Um, what did you just call your armor?
Donut: Garish, it means totally lacking in good taste.
Simmons: Hmm. Kind of like this song.
Grif: For the millionth time, Donut, your armor is clearly pink!
Donut: It's light-ish red!
Sarge: Why won't he just admit it?
Simmons: Yeah, you're not fooling anyone, Donut.
Grif: Um, are we still talking about his armor color or something else?
Donut: Enough talk you guys. It's time for action.
All reds: No!

So let me blow you
Blow you all
One by one
Individually---or in a group
Blow you---
A--way!
