[Sweets is wandering into the game room, just looking for something to do after the long day. Maybe he'll play some video games. Maybe he'll just play some music. He isn't entirely sure yet, but he's stopping when he passes one of the tables and spots an old cowboy figurine that's lying around.

He can't help it. He gives a bit of a smile. As he goes to pick it up. and then he feels a bit ... inspired]

♪ Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero. ♪

[there's a pause, and he continues walking into the room]

♪ Sometimes I look up high and then I think there might, just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go out on the wild side. ♪

[Xander happens to be in the gameroom already, so when he sees his pal Sweets come in he perks up a bit. But he pauses when he starts singing, and from where he's standing across the way he chimes in...]

♪ And I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. ♪

[he starts to walk towards Sweets.]

♪ Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright. ♪

[joins him on chorus, maybe even harmonizing a bit, before finishing it with him]

♪ I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be. ♪

♪ I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right. ♪

[slings an arm around his friend]

[slings an arm around him as well and grins]

♪ The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. ♪

[and after that he'll exhale with a sigh]


... That was ... different.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

[scratches the back of his head]

At least I didn't hit my head this time.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You hit your head before?

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a few weeks ago. I fell off the stage at Caritas while I was singing.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

... Ouch.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Did you take a trip home?

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

No. But...I'm pretty sure my loss changed. You know, the one we always have.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Really? I hadn't heard of that happening before.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

Me either, but...I was told it's possible.

[a shrug]

Today. Weird day, huh?

[sorry, Sweets. he's tired of talking about the tuna. He's been talking about it for weeks.]

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

Same as every April first.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

This is my first April first.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. Well, the past three April firsts I've been here have had the same thing happen.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

Something to look forward to if I'm here next year! Only...not.

[good memories do not come with everyone breaking out into song]

[shrugs]

It's better than getting eaten by dinosaurs.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

Dinosaurs?

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[grins]

Oh yeah. Dinosaurs.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

That's...okay, being eaten by dinosaurs isn't awesome, but....dinosaurs on their own sound pretty awesome.
