《Prinxiety One Shots》Karaoke Night
Advertisement
I was so exited! It was the best day of the week! It. Was. Friday!!!
Now I know your asking "Roman what's so special about Friday?" Friday in the mindscape is not only the last day of a school week but is also karaoke night!
As the prince it is quite obvious that karaoke night is my favorite night of the week. I mean I get to sing my favorite songs in front of everyone. Its the best! Who wouldn't love doing that?
All I had to do was wait till 8 pm. Which was hard considering that it was only 5 pm.
I decided to practice my vocals in the mean time. I had nothing better to do. I started to sing.
"How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean
By providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?"
Virgil looked up from his sketch book. Those were the lyrics to Alexander Hamilton. But who was singing them?
"The 10 dollar
Founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter, by 14 they placed him in charge of a trading charter"
Virgil got up from his desk to investigate the singing. Who was singing? They had a beautiful voice the wall mumbled it though so he couldn't place his finger on it.
"And everyday while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter"
Virgil opened his door and started to walk in the direction of the voice.
"Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain"
Virgil started humming the lyrics as he closed his eyes and walked to the voices door.
"Well the word got around, they said
'This kid is insane, man!'
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
'Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world's gonna know your name. What's your name man?'"
Virgil opened Roman's door at that part and sung the next lyrics.
"Alexander Hamilton"
Roman spun in his chair and stared at Virgil in awe. He smiled and nodded as if telling him to continue. Virgil smiled back and opened his mouth to song the rest of Alexander's part.
"My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million thing I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait"
Roman sung the part that wasn't Alexander's.
"When he was 10, his father split, full of it, debt ridden
2 years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick"
They decided to sing the female and multiple people parts together.
"And Alex got better but his mother went quick"
Roman sung the next part.
"Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside

A voice saying, 'Alex you gotta fend for yourself'
He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf"
Virgil sung the next part because Roman can't rap
"There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead and destitute without a cent of restutition
Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord
Trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scanning for every book he can get his hands on
Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man"
Roman sung the 'in new York you can be a new man and Virgil sung 'just you wait'
"Just you wait
(In New York you can be a new man) Just you wait
In New York you can be a new man
In New York (New York)
Just you wait!"
Roman sung the next part by himself.
"The ship is in the harbor now, see if you can spot him
Another immigrant coming up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him"
They two sung the next parts together.
"We fought with him
Me? I died for him
Me? I trusted him
Me? I loved him
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him"
The last part. They were in it together.
"There's a million thing I haven't done
But just you wait
What's your name man?
Alexander Hamilton!"
They looked at each other and laughed happy that they did a duet together.
"Kiddos! Time for karaoke!"
Patton was calling them downstairs. The rushed down the stairs still giggling a bit from the duet.
Patton went first and sung Pompeii by Bastille.
"I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all"
Everyone clapped and I have to say. Patton's song choice made sense.

Next was Logan he sung Oh No! By Mariana and the diamonds.
"Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip
Don't want cash, don't want card
Want it fast, want it hard
Don't need money, don't need fame
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change, I just wanna change
I just wanna change, I just wanna change
I just wanna
Change!
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
'Cause I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
It has no appeal, it has no appeal
It has no appeal, it has no appeal
It has no appeal!
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna da-da-da-da-die
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!"
Everyone clapped and Virgil looked at Roman telling him to go next. Roman playfully rolled his eyes, smiled, and walked on stage.
Roman sung Happily Ever After by Steven Universe.
"Here we are in the future
Here we are in the future and it's bright
Nothing to fear
No one to fight
I can't believe we've come so far
Happily ever after here we are
Once upon a time, I thought I'd always be in my mother's shadow
Answering for her crimes I thought I'd always be in an endless battle
Until I began to own
A power all my own
That I could feel growing stronger every day
And now I saved the world
Not just that- the whole galaxy saved
We did it!
Here we are in the future!
Hey Pearl, hey Dad!
Hey Stchuball!
Steven! I'm learning to play the bass
I keep telling her, it's "bass."
Excuse me, B-A-S-S spells "bass."
You're the boss
Heck yes, I am!
Once upon a time
I only lived to be of Pink Diamond's service
Until the day the two of us snuck down to be on this planet's surface
We became our fantasy
And I was sure she set me free
But in the end, I guess I never left her side
And after love and loss and all the tears that I cried, I find that-
Here we are in the future!
Hey buddy
I'm heading into town
See you at the concert tonight?
Wouldn't miss it for the world!
Here we are!
I saved you a seat
Thanks, Garnet!
Hey guys, what'd I miss?
You're just in time for my favorite part of the story
Once upon a time, a Sapphire came to Earth with her Ruby soldier
Sapphire's deadly fate was set until the Ruby rushed in to hold her
Suddenly they were fusing
Beautiful, strange, confusing
And there I was, a bundle of questions, so naive
And if you told me this I never would've believe you then but-
Here we are in the future!
Let me just save this
Hey, any idea what Amethyst is up to?
I have every idea what everyone is up to
You'll find her if you head to Little Homeworld
Take the warp
Woah! Careful dude!
Pew pew!
One, two, three, hah!
Thanks, Amethyst!
Steven! You're just in time!
We're about to install the new warp
Which means Little Homeworld is 83.7 percent complete!
Only 83.7 percent? We'd better get cracking!
I'm on it!
Wow, Little Homeworld's growing fast!
So are you!
"Look at me! I'm a young adult!"
I love that all these Gems wanna make their new home on Earth
Wish I'd had this when I first emerged
Once upon a time, I burst to life inside of the Kindergarten
A product of a war that I had no idea I had a part in
I came out late and alone
Knew nothing but my home
But I know now exactly who I'm supposed to be
And It's a part of this family!
So, whaddya think?
If I could just stop right here and be
Finally done
Finally us
Finally we are in the future
Here we are in the future and it's bright!
Nothing to fear
No one to fight
I can't believe we've come so far
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Here we are!"
We all clapped and I blushed remembering how good of a singer he was. Virgil had a big time crush on Roman. But it was his turn. Virgil sung Holiday by Green Day.
"Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (hey!)
A shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called faith and misery (hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
"The representative from California has the floor"
Sieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause
Just cause
Because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on Holiday"
Everyone clapped but Virgil looked at Roman. Roman was blushing faintly and clapping.
Virgil walked over to Roman.
"Hey Roman do you want to go on a date? Maybe? Sometime soon?"
"Virgil are you asking me on a date?"
"Maybe~"
"Well then maybe I'll go~"
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Roman and Virgil looked over and saw Patton chanted 'kiss' and Logan smirking at them. Roman and Virgil blushed. They forgot the other to boys were in the room.
This was going to the best date ever.

Tags and content warnings are checked for the sake of my creativity in the future, it might or might not be included. This is my first novel, and also, English is not my native language, I beg your mercy. But I am open to any feedback and constructive criticism, so let's make the story more enjoyable to read! Chronosseum is scheduled to release one chapter every three days (for now).

A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
