With a little help from friends like these...

{A short, time-consuming mini-story.}

By: Gatoris Tonberry

Set-up: The party after the wedding. Everyone has had time for the drinks, and those old enough (and Yuffie) have hit the beer/sake/what have you. Someone had the bright idea of having karaoke. Gatoris and Aerith grab microphones.

Gatoris: I can't believe we made it this far without either of us dying...

Aerith: Yeah. Maybe we WERE meant to be together in this life...

Gatoris: Well, I am going to do something insane. I'm gonna do karaoke, and I'm 100% sober!

(Groans from everyone, Except Jupiter. She's laughing)

#Gatoris cues the song. Music plays#

Gatoris(horribly out of tune...): What would you think if I sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me?

{Aerith: Why would I?}

Gatoris(in tune): Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Both: I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends, Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Aerith: What do I do when my love is away?

Gatoris: Does it worry you to be alone?

Aerith: How do I feel by the end of the day?

Gatoris: Are you sad because you're on your own?

Both: No, I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends,

Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Gatoris: Do you need anybody?

Aerith: I need somebody to love.

Gatoris: Could it be anybody?

Aerith: I want somebody to love.

Aerith: Would you believe in a love at first sight?

Gatoris: Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.

Pikachu(out of nowhere...) pi pi ka chu pi ka chu pi ka chu?

(Roughly:What do you see when you turn on a light?)

Gatoris: (Angered)I can't tell you, but I know you're mine.

(slcices up Pika. Short pause)

Both: Oh... I get by with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Aerith: Do you need anybody?

Gatoris(Tirying to sound like Sammy Davis, Jr.): I just need somebody to love.

Aerith:Could it be anybody?

Gatoris(Goes for Paul Simon[?] this time): I want somebody to love.

All Present (and alive):I get by with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,

With a little help from my friends.

Gatoris(Confused) : Where the heck did Piakchu come from?

Aerith: It doesn't matter. You took care of him.

Gohan: (from the crowd.) Pika-steaks for everyone!

END!
