Aurora Cycle One-Shots and Random Musical Interludes

Squad Music Time: "You and I"

Premise:

Squad 312 consists atm of Kal, Auri, Fin, Zila, Ty, and Scar. Possibly Cat, reader may insert at their discretion.

Sometimes, when there's downtime, the squad (who are all musically talented for some reason) have a bit of like campfire-style music time in the main control room of the ship, with Kal accompanying on his Siif or Fin/Zila whipping up some tech style music accompaniment on their uniglasses.

Parts generally go:

Soprano - Auri and Scar

Alto - (Zila +/- Cat)

Tenor - Fin and Ty

And y'all know we got Kal on that sweet, sweet BASS! (feels self melting)

Accompanying song today: "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson. I like to think this song made the rounds at any dances or parties at Aurora Academy, because it starts uptempo but sweet and ends with like group unison, feet stomping, hands clapping fun.

*starts with Kal playing Siif like a ukulele cuz... strings?*

Scar:

Don't you worry, there my honey

We might not have any money

But we've got our love to pay the bills.

*Sings next part to Fin for flirting/joking purposes*

Maybe I think you're cute and funny,

Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you,

If you know what I mean.

*Scar leans into her lilting Soprano solo*

Oh let's get rich and buy our parents

Homes in the south of France.

Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters

And teach them how to dance.

Let's get rich and build a house on a mountain

Making everybody look like ants.

From way up there, you and I, you and I.

*Elbows Fin until he is convinced to sing the next part with her as a duet*

Fin:

Well you might be a bit confused -

Scar:

And you might be a little bit bruised -

Fin: *giving as good as he gets in terms of teasing*

But baby, how we spoon like no one else.

So I will help you read those books,

If you will soothe my worried looks.

Fin + Scar:

And we will put the lonesome on the shelf.

*Scar cues everyone to join in for the chorus*

Everyone:

Oh, let's get rich and buy our parents

Homes in the south of France.

Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters

And teach them how to dance.

Let's get rich and build a house on a mountain

Making everybody look like ants.

From way up there, you and I, you and I.

*Repeat one more time, but with stomping and clapping rhythmically for percussion. Everyone's grinning at each other, Kal is highkey loving how much fun Auri is having, and Fin got to flirt his ass off with Scar, so we're having a great Saturday night.*
