Beauty and the Shaolin Zombie // Liu Kang x Usagi [COMPLETED]

Chapter 16: Be Our Guest

Serena had been in her bedroom long enough until she merged, but she called out to someone who was there for her.

"Um, is someone out there? Whoever is guarding the door, can you take me to the kitchen? I'm a bit hungry." Serena said, opening the door.

Then Kung Lao appeared in front of her and Serena forgot he was still a zombie. "Yes! Yes! I'm right here! What can I do with you?"

"Can you take me to the kitchen room? I think I'm starting to feel hungry." Serena said shyly.

He grinned. "Hungry already? Of course! I shall let you away."

"Thanks. What's your name, by the way? I haven't seen you that much." Serena said, smiling.

"I'm Kung Lao, a servant and a best friend of Liu Kang. And you must be?" Kung Lao said.

"I'm Serena Cage."

"As Johnny's kid?"

"And Sonya's too. I had an older sister as well." Serena said.

"So Johnny and Sonya were together. I knew these two were in love." He said excitedly.

She looked away sadly. "Unfortunately, they split up after they had us.

"I'm sorry to hear that." He said, feeling bad for her.

"It's fine. It's their decision to split up for a while. But they always be there for me and my sister." Serena said.

"That's good to hear. So come on, Serena, let us go to the kitchen room." Kung Lao said before taking her to the kitchen.

She nodded. "Okay."

When they arrived at the kitchen, they found Nightwolf and the others talking about their situation with Liu Kang.

Kung Lao cleared his throat, announcing, "Hey, everyone! Someone's hungry!"

"You are?" Sindel said in shock as she turned to face the zombie gang, "Hear that? She's hungry! Stoke the fire! Breakfast out the silverware!"

"Remember what Liu Kang said?" Nightwold quietly asked Sindel, concerned.

"I'm not about to let that poor child go hungry," Sindel said.

"But she is his prisoner!" Nightwolf protested.

"Hey! That is not true! She's not our prisoner! She's our guest!" Kung Lao said.

"And we must make her feel welcome here," Kitana said in agreement.

"Come this way, Miss Cage." Then Kung Lao lead her to the dining room.

"So should I wait here until it is done?" Serena asked curiously.

"You don't have to wait that long. Perhaps the music will help you make you feel patient." Kung Lao said, smiling.

"Music!?" Nightwolf said in shock. Now he was worried Liu Kang would find out about this.

It was then Kung Lao started the music.

Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as the dining room proudly presents - your dinner!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff

[Kitana]
It's delicious

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
They can sing
They can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest

Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"

We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret!
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks

And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest

If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest

Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!

Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

Be our guest!

Be our guest!

[Sindel]
It's a guest!
It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert
She'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm
Piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed

We've got a lot to do!

[Sindel]
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!

She's our guest!

She's our guest!

She's our guest!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest

Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's been years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you
We'll keep going
Course by course
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!

When they were done, Serena applauded happily.

"Bravo! That was wonderful!" Serena exclaimed happily.

"I'm glad you love it," Kung Lao said, grinning.

"Hey! Would you mind giving me a tour because it was my first time being here?" Serena asked.

"Shouldn't you be in bed, Miss Cage?" Nightwolf asked.

"I don't feel like going to bed tonight. I really want to see more about this castle if you two would give me a tour." Serena said.

Nightwolf and Kung Lao looked at each other and then looked at Serena. They were a bit concerned about her finding out about their secret inside the West Wing. Then they nodded to her.

"Of course! We would love that!" Nightwolf said.
