Chapter 8:

Karaoke Tale

Modern Enchanted Fairy Tale


It was 3:00pm for friday, Elara and Mia are relaxing in the couch, feeling the softness of the cushion on their skin. They decided to take a break from their vigorous training sessions. They were watching TV when they stumbled upon an old karaoke bar ad. "Hey, we should check this out!" Mia suggested with a twinkle in her eye.

Elara raised an eyebrow. "Karaoke? You want to sing?"

Mia blushed slightly. "Why not? It could be fun, and we could use some downtime."

"It was a karaoke night for Brittany!" The man in the tv said with an overly excited tone, and the screen switched to show a bustling karaoke bar, filled with people of all ages holding microphones and belting out their favorite tunes.

"Not even that Brittany." Mia rolled her eyes playfully. "But, sure, karaoke sounds like a good distraction."

"Yeah, first Brittany was now humiliated for having a movie chase by a NBI agent, now that she's having a karaoke song!" Elara teased, trying to keep the mood light.

Mia chuckled, her eyes still on the TV. "Well, she's definitely got more fans than I do."

"Yeah, Brittany is a piece of garbage, just like Morgana and Lila." Elara said, her voice filled with sarcasm. She knew it was a good idea to keep Mia's mind off the seriousness of their situation.

In the kingdom, Adoria. Morgana and Lila are watching at the crystal ball, seeing the two princesses in a world they never knew existed. "Look at them, enjoying themselves like common peasants," Morgana spat, her eyes narrowing.

"Elara and her lover," Lila said with a sneer. "It's disgusting how they've fallen so low."

Morgana's gaze remained fixed on the crystal ball, her mind racing. "We need to kill those couple, with a hitman!"

Lila has her idea and said. "That's it, mommy! We are summoning the creepy hitman that kill this piece of princess garbage!"

"Yes....my daughter! Hahahahaha!!" Morgana cackled, her eyes glinting with malice. She waved her hand and the crystal ball went dark. "We shall send him to the human world, where he will blend in perfectly and do our bidding."

Meanwhile, in the NBI Headquarters.

"Okay, if we get the princess to go back to her fairy magic world, we make sure to keep her away from any trouble, right?" The NBI Chief said, his voice filled with concern as he studied the files on his desk.

"Affirmative, sir. Somehow, I'll will get that some princess outta here!" Agent Meiko, the NBI's top operative, replied with determination, her eyes never leaving the screen of her laptop as she typed away furiously.

The Chief nodded, his gaze shifting to the clock on the wall. "Time is of the essence. The longer she's here, the more the risk of exposure."

"Sure, you may. Before for you to listen to me first...." The chief leaned back in his chair, then a little mass blob of flesh came out to the chief and the agent, the blob flesh turned into chocolate chip cookie. "You wanna have a cookie?" The chief offered it to Agent Meiko.

Agent Meiko took a cookie, but the chief throws it, which the cookie turned back into blob flesh again and it walked away. "Find harder, please. You got that!" The chief said to Agent Meiko.

Elara and Mia, armed with their newfound confidence and love, decided to take on the karaoke challenge. They chose the bar, "Melody's Haven," known for its welcoming atmosphere and eclectic song selection. The neon lights flickered outside, casting a warm glow into the night. As they entered, the smell of stale beer and popcorn filled their nostrils, and the sound of laughter and music spilled out from the back.

"Wow, it was filled with some good time." Elara whispered to Mia as they walked through the dimly lit bar, taking in the sight of people swaying to the music and singing along to the lyrics.

Then Brittany came to Elara and Mia and said meanly. "Hey, Mia. Having for my day?"

Mia sighed, feeling the weight of their situation once again. "Brittany, we're just trying to have some fun."

Brittany's eyes narrowed. "Oh, so now....look what does the agent nearly killed me in the movie studio. My father spilled at me and said I'm having a song for me with my tape here that I recorded for a long time ago." She held up a tape cassette with a picture of a unicorn on it.

"Okay, the floor is yours." Mia said angrily, then Brittany walked away from them.

"Hey manager, Carrey D'key! I got a karaoke song for me, as a star!" Brittany called out to the bar's manager, a middle-aged man with a bald head and a thick mustache.

Carrey looked over at Brittany, who was holding a tape cassette with her hand. "Okay, nice one. Just watch to your own song!" Carrey said, taking the tape.

Elara nodded, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Alright, let's show them what a real princess is made of." Then, they inside the vents, with the couple inside vents. There was a extremely powerful hitman who can shoot powerful blasts, the hitman was belonged by Morgana and Lila, who they wanted to get rid of Elara and Mia.

"Hello, princess. Next for a die to impact, meet the....hitman monster!" Morgana said.

Then, Agent Meiko inside the karaoke bar, she would finding Elara to bring back home in the Adoria. "Where is that princess." Meiko whispered to herself.

Inside the vents, Elara and Mia are crawling in the darkness, their hearts racing with excitement and a hint of fear. Then, they looked at the outside in the office, where Carrey D'key was setting up the karaoke machine for Brittany. "There it is, the tape!" Mia pointed out, her eyes gleaming.

"Alright, be quiet before could get us caught." Elara whispered, as they both took a deep breath and slithered out of the vent. They landed quietly on the floor behind the stage, their eyes adjusting to the dim light. The anticipation of their impromptu performance was palpable, and their hearts were pounding in sync with the bass of the pop songs playing in the background.

Within that, Brittany's song is now begin. As the music started, Elara and Mia looked at each other, and without saying a word. "Okay, take the tape now!" Mia whispered, and Elara nodded.

Brittany clapped her hands with a filled of joy and excitement, as she belted out the first notes of her karaoke song. "This is it, my moment to shine!" she thought to herself.

Inside on the office, Elara and Mia are looked at the Brittany's song. "Okay, what is Rainbow Magic by Daisy Meadows." Elara whispered at Mia.

"It's a book about many fairies lived in the Rainspell Island, but then Jack Frost came and froze it." Mia whispered back, her brows furrowed in concentration.

"I love it!" Elara exclaimed, then she pushed the open button. Which Brittany's song got cut off abruptly and the crowd was confused.

"What the hell is that?" Brittany shrieked.

"Okay, Well, uh, sorry folks, um, technical difficulties. Aw, oh hey, why don't we start the songs, shall we? Uh, first up we have Alexa!" Carrey announced into the microphone, trying to recover from the unexpected interruption. Then, Alexa, Mia's best friend, come in the stage. While Carrey walked to the back to his office.

The song began with techno and pop. "I've been working so hard, I'm punching my card. Eight hours for what?" Alexa sanged with gusto, her voice strong and clear. The crowd clapped along, then Carrey entered the office, he saw Elara and Mia are holding the tape. "What are you two doing here?" he whispered angrily.

"Get the tape, get the tape!" Mia whispered urgently, her eyes wide with excitement. Elara nodded, a mischievous spark in her eyes.

"Oh, tell me what I got. I've got this feeling that times been holding me down." Alexa continued singing, her voice echoing through the bar.

"Joe!" Carrey called his bodyguard, a burly man with a stern look on his face. "Take these two out!"

Soon, Elara took Brittany's tape. Mia punched Joe up, then Joe fall down. "We're not going anywhere!" Mia said firmly.

"I'll hit the ceiling. Or else I'll tear up this town. Tonight, I gotta cut loose. Footloose. Kick off your sunday shoes." Alexa sang out, her voice growing stronger with each word.

Mia and Elara are escape from the office, passing Joe and Carrey from the floor. They heard the commotion and laughter from the bar as they got out from the office, but then they encountered a hitman monster here.

"We got company here!" Mia exclaimed, pointing at the hitman monster that had appeared before them. Then Elara and Mia are running away from the monster, but then suddenly, Elara saw Meiko in the corner of the bar, her hand on her gun.

"It's a NBI Agent here!" Elara shouted over the music, her eyes meeting Meiko's. Meiko nodded, understanding the urgency in Elara's voice.

"Jack, get back. Come on before we crack." Alexa's voice grew distant as Elara and Mia sprinted towards the exit, the hitman monster's heavy footsteps echoing through the narrow corridor. Then Carrey appeared to them, and he about to punch them, but Elara and Mia missed it, he accidentally punches Meiko.

"Who die for you!" Meiko shouted, clearly annoyed by Carrey's misguided punch. She kicked Carrey aside and turned her attention to the hitman monster.

"Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose!" Alexa's voice grew louder as the crowd are started the hell riot and fight each other, giving Elara and Mia a chance to escape.

"You're playing so cool. Obeying every rule. I dig a way down in your heart. You're burning yearning for some. Somebody to tell you." Alexa's voice grew distant as Elara and Mia dashed through the chaos, the hitman monster on their heels. The bar had descended into a frenzy of dancing and fighting, the patrons' emotions fueled by the sudden magic that had seeped into the air.

"Kill that some princess here, ya hahahahaha thing!" Lila yelled at the crystal ball, her voice echoing through the throne room.

At the bar, some people are fighting each other. "That life ain't passing you by. I'm trying to tell you it will if you don't even try." Alexa's voice grew more intense as Elara, Mia, Carrey and Joe are fighting for Brittany's tape.

"You can fly if you'd only cut loose. Foot loose. Kick off your Sunday shoes. Oowhee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me." Alexa sanged with a wink to the crowd. Meiko pulled his fire gun and shoots straight at the hitman, killing the hitman in a flash of light.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Nooooo!!!!" Lila and Morgana's screams of frustration filled the throne room as the crystal ball flickered, showing the hitman monster's defeat. "How could this happen?" Morgana slammed her fist on the table, her eyes ablaze with anger.

At the bar, Elara took the tape. Then, she saw Meira was sitting the table, she had a idea. Elara throws the tape at Meira, it flies and lands near Meira's feet. Meira picks it up.

"Whoa, Milo, c'mon, c'mon let's go. Lose, your blues." Alexa continued singing her song, then Carrey punches Meira in her face. "GIMME THAT TAPE!" Carrey shouted, his eyes wild.

"You want it, here yours!" Meira smashes the tape at Carrey's face, knocking him out. The tape breaks into pieces.

Brittany is trembling, seeing her song was destroyed. "No song!!!" Britanny cried out in despair.

"Everybody cut footloose! Ohhh! Cut footloose!" Alexa's song ended. "Thank you!" She said to the crowd, bowing with a flourish. The applause and cheers were deafening. The bar patrons, still caught in the whirlwind of emotions brought on by the sudden magic, didn't even notice the commotion behind the stage.

Elara and Mia took a moment to catch their breath, leaning against the wall in the alley outside Melody's Haven. "That was... intense," Mia said, her eyes still wide with shock.

"You can say that again," Elara replied, a grin spreading across her face. "But we did it. We stopped them and my mother destroyed Brittany's song for good."

"Yeah, it's ashamed that your mother had to ruin everyone's fun," Mia said, her voice laced with sarcasm. They stepped out of the alley and into the bustling street, the cool evening air a stark contrast to the stifling heat of the bar.

"Let's go," Elara said, taking Mia's hand and pulling her along. "We needed to stay vigilante from now on. Morgana and Lila won't stop until they get what they want."

Outside, Elara, Mia and Meira are out from the bar. The streets were alive with the energy of a Friday night in Manila, the neon lights of the surrounding establishments reflecting off the damp pavement.

"Good timing that the spoiled girl had a some weird song tape, my daughter!" Meira asked to her daughter, Elara. Which they are now on the street.

Elara nodded, still trying to process everything that had just happened. "It's all part of their plan to keep us here, I'm sure of it."

"Okay, let us stay vigilant from the people here." Meira said, her eyes scanning the crowded street. They are having for there good time here.
