I know that was a bit back down the road, but better late than never! Disclaimer: The FK folks don't belong to me, you know who owns them. The song "Joy to the World" is by Three Dog Night (I think). The words are as I hear them, so if they're wrong, it's my fault. The words are denoted by a * Permission is given to archieve at Mel's site, and any DP can archive this too, anyone else,just ask! And without further adieu.... ~~~<~~~<~~~<@ Joy to the World Jennifer Colbert July 1998 @>~~~>~~~>~~~ Nick flinched as the loft door slamed shut. He thought back about what had just happened... ~~~<~~~<~~~<@Begin Flashback@>~~~>~~~>~~~ Nat stood in Nick's loft with tears streaming down her face. "Bick, I'mb ndot combing back here until you cwean up!! The dust isth horrible!!" "Nat! I'm sorry! What ever I did, I'm sorry! What did I do? What did you say?" Nat sneezed, and began pawing around in her purse, pulled out a tablet of paper and a pencil she kept for notes, and wrote 'Nick, I'm not coming back here until you clean up!! The dust is horrible!!' And with that she said "Goo-bye Bick." "Huh?" She sighed, sneezed again, and wrote 'Good-bye Nick.' and walked out of the loft. ~~~~<~~~<~~~<@End Flashback@>~~~>~~~>~~~~ Nick sighed, and went to the closet where he kept the vacum cleaner and pulled out the said cleaning implement. After a few mimutes of vacuming and angsting, he stoped and turned the radio on. From the speakers came some music that to Nick sounded like cats in a blender, he made a mental note to kill Vachon and changed the station... "Guilt. It collects like dust under your couch." Nick did not need to listen to LaCroix talking about dust. Nick paused, he heard the opening strains of a song that sounded familier, he waited. *Jerimhia was a bull frog! "YESSSS!!!!!!" Nick yelled, "I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!" and began to sing along in a very off-key voice. *Was a good friend of mine! Nick began to vacum again while singing. *Never understood a single word he said *But I helped him drink his wine *And he always had a mighty fine wine He began to dance as he vacumed. *Singin' Joy to the World *all the boys and Girls now *Joy to fishes in the deep blue sea Nick suddenly began to sing into the vacum, using the handle as a microphone. *Joy to you and me *If I were the King of world The loft door opened...but Nick was to engrossed in what he was doing to notice *Tell what I'd do Natalie stepped into the loft, and began to let the door slam.. *Throw away the cars and the cause of war But caught it and gently closed it when she saw Nick... *And make sweet love to you She tried to hold back the laughter, but failed...she began to laugh, but the music was too loud for Nick to hear the cackling coronor. *Joy to the world *All the boys and girls *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea *Joy to you and me She leaned against the loft door as tears streamed down her face. *You know I love the ladies *love to have my fun Nick was dipping the 'microphone' when he heard Natalie's laughter... *I'm a high neck flyer *And a rainbow rider *A straight shootin' son of a gun *I said a straight shootin' son of a gun He dropped the vacum and said "Nat, I can explain!" *Joy to the world *All the boys and girls *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea *Joy to the world But the coronor was laughing too hard to hear the 800 year old vampire's excuse for why he was singing with a vacum cleaner in the loft. *Joy to the world *All the boys and girls *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea *Joy to you and me "Nat, please listen to me!!" *Joy to the world *All the boys and girls *Joy to the world *Joy to you and me Nat looked over at Nick and Nick blurted out a bunch of gibberish that was suposed to explain why he was dancing in the loft with a vacum. *Joy to the world *All the boys and girls *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea *Joy to you and me When Nat did nothing but laugh,he said "What? You've never done anything like that? I can remember when you did! That time in the morgue, you were singing 'The Little Old Lady from Pasidina'!" *Joy to the world *All boys and girls *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea *Joy to you and me Nat regained her composure and said, "Okay, okay, okay!!! I won't tell anyone about this, if you don't tell anyone about that." *Joy to the world "Okay I won't. I can remember a time when I caught LaCroix singing to himself..." Nick began to flashback but Nat threw a pillow at him and he came out of his self induced trance. *All the boys and girls "So, Nick are you gonna tell me?" *Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea "Yeah, I caught him singing 'Stand by Me' in the shower once....." *Joy to you and me Nat laughed and tried to picture that, and couldn't. But thinking about LaCroix in the shower conjured up some pretty interesting images.....Nat giggled. Nick smiled and slipped into that flashback that he was jerked out of before by Nat.... ~~~~<~~~<~~~<@The End@>~~~~>~~~>~~~ Well, there you go! Hope you guys (and gals) enjoyed it!!
