We made it to the karaoke bar where everyone was already waiting. Most of them had already changed, too. They had gotten a table so that we were all sitting together, and I ended up sitting between Grimmjow and Renji. Keigo was up on the stage with Mizuiro and Chad singing "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top, but Mizuiro and Chad were just kinda standing there and Keigo was getting annoyed with them. Then Uryuu jumped up on the stage and started singing with Keigo and it was altogether hilarious.

"So!" Ichigo leaned over Renji to get my attention. "You never told us what song you had in mind, Juna!"

"Oh, yeah!" I clapped my hands together happily. Then I decided that since we were already here, I would just surprise them. "I'll go sign us up!" I jumped outta my chair, ignoring the way that they were calling after me, and put our names on the list with the song that I had in mind. When I sat back down, they were eyeing me suspiciously.

"What did you choose?" Renji asked.

"You'll see!" I grinned at him.

"Tell us!" Ichigo demanded.

I laughed at them. "Don't worry! It's a classic!"

Eventually, our turn came. We stood up together when our names were called. And as I was passing by Grimmjow, he grabbed my ass and whispered "good luck" which only made me blush horrendously. And I blushed harder when I heard him chuckling as I walked away.

"Alright, now we've got Renji, Ichigo, and Juna singing 'We Will Rock You' by Queen!" The announcer called out.

Ichigo and Renji grinned at me, which made me grin too, as we grabbed our microphones. We stood on the stage, the boys on either side of me, and I got the biggest adrenaline rush as I looked out at the crowd and the music began to play.

Renji started off with the first verse... and damn, he sounded amazing.

Buddy you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

When the chorus kicked in, all three of us started singing. Before I knew what I was doing, I was dancing along with the music, unable to stop myself from getting lost in the sound.

We will, we will, rock you!
We will, we will, rock you!

Ichigo took the second verse, and he sounded really good, too.

Buddy you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

By the time the second chorus rolled around, the whole audience was clapping along as the three of us sang.

We will, we will, rock you!
We will, we will, rock you!

And then it was time for the third verse... my turn... my heart was pounding in my chest as I looked out into the crowd. But I saw my friends cheering, and I had Renji and Ichigo with me, so I opened my mouth and I sang it out.

Buddy you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes, gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
