I was sitting on the bleachers in our classroom as I waited for class to begin, watching as a few other guys walked in for the mid-term final (yep, we had a final in choir) bored out of my mind till a devilishly charming Buizel (yes, I am talking about you Brandon) walked in, a book in his paws; I could see his tail's twitching nervously behind him. I watched him for a while as he took a seat, opening his book, Eldest. Before I even knew it, I was moving to sit next to him, smiling in a friendly way. "Hey, I'm Josh. Who are you?" I asked him, a squeak escaping his lips as an adorable blush covered his face (don't deny it; it's true!). "B-Brandon," the sexy Buizel replied, his tails twitching as a shaky paw adjusted his glasses.

I was new to the class, so I really did not know anybody; I had just transferred from another high school. Before I could speak again, our choir teacher called for our attention. "Since we are all here for three hours, let's all have a singing competition," she had said, telling us we could work separately or with a partner if we chose. "Select a song and I will play it for the class to listen to as you sing it," she told us before letting us chose our partners.

"Hey, Brandon; do you want to sing a song together? We can sing anything, really; I don't mind," I had told him. "T-then how about Partners in Crime? I l-like that song," Brandon had stuttered in the cutest way possible, getting me to smile (Hey, it is true!). "I love that song! Alright, which part do you want to sing? I am a tenor myself," I told him with a smirk. "I am a base, so I guess I will take the male's," Brandon had replied, his voice now no longer shaky. "Sure thing, partner," I said, joking; the most charming smile crossed his face, making my heart beat like no other.

Soon, the rest of the class had chosen their songs and we were up to sing last. "Ready?" I asked Brandon as we took the small stage; he nodded before the music started, my part coming up first (Yes Brandon, you can sing your parts).

A note: The unitalicized lines are the lyrics while the italicized lines are the action Brandon or Josh had done during the singing.

Me: You'll never take us alive

The class was stunned as I sang, Brandon soon following.

Brandon: We swore that death will do us partThey'll call our crimes a work of art

I smiled at him, trying to act like a mastermind criminal.

Me: You'll never take us alive

Brandon looked at me with sparkling eyes, getting into the groove of the song as he started to dance to the fast beat.

Brandon: We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers, and partners

Partners in crime

Partners in crimeThis, the tale of reckless love, living a life of crime on the run, I brush to a gun to paint these states green and red,

Everybody freeze,

Both Brandon and I had frozen when I sang that.

Me: nobody move, 

Brandon then wrapped an arm around me like he did not have a care in the world, holding his paw like a gun; I grabbed a random backpack before Brandon continued to sing.

Brandon: put the money in the bag or we will shoot,

Empty out the vault and me and my doll will be on our way,

Me: Our paper faces flood the streets,

Brandon: And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we'll play with fire 'cause...

I had lit a pair of flames on my head and paws, having dropped the backpack beforehand.

Me: You'll never take us alive,

Brandon: We swore that death will do us part

They'll call our crimes a work of art

Me: You'll never take us alive

Brandon: We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers, and partners

Brandon must have gotten really into it because he said into the microphone

Brandon: (Oh, Just try and catch us!)

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws fall behind the grind tonight,

Left unaware that the lone store owner won't go down without a fight,

Me: Where we gonna go,

I sang my line like I was panicking

Brandon: he's got us pinned

Brandon sang his like he was thinking deeply about how to save our lives

Me: Baby, I'm a little scared

I turned to him, making my eyes wide as I looked at him.

Brandon: Now, don't you quit

Brandon sang this as he held me in place in a reassuring way.

Me: He's sounded the alarm, I hear the sirens closing in,

I sang this as I looked into the distance, ears perked up with wide eyes.

Brandon: Our paper faces flood the streets,

And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause...

Brandon sang this part, seeming to make me remember all that we had done, all of our achievements.

Me: You'll never take us alive

I sang this bit, shaking my paw at imaginary police officers off stage

Brandon: We swore that death will do us part

They'll call our crimes a work of art

Me: You'll never take us alive

Brandon: We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers, and partners

One of the fellow students must have known the song because he got up and said into a paw microphone: police department. Come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded. Put your weapons down, put your weapons down! Ready, men? Aim... Fire!!!

Brandon here acted like he was wounded, falling to the ground, clutching his arm like he was shot, mouthing 'Run!'. I looked down for my next line.

Me: The skies are black with lead-filled rain,

Brandon looked up for his next line, smiling wickedly (You should have seen it; his smile was hilarious!)

Brandon: A morbid painting on display,

We both sang the next to lines, looking at each other like it was the last time.

Me: This is the night the young love died,

Brandon: Buried at each others side

I looked out into the other students, a satisfied smirk on my face.

Me: You never took us alive

Brandon took my paw, leading me the front of the stage, singing his next lines.

Brandon: We swore that death would do us part

So now we haunt you in the dark,

The lights turned off at that exact moment, a Zoroark having done that.

Me: You never took us alive,

Brandon: We live as ghosts among these streets,

Lovers and partners

Partners in crime

I joined in for the last line, our intertwined paws raised in the air.

With the end of the song, both Brandon and I had bowed to the others to a loud applause. "Can you do that again? I would love to post this on Youtube!" a Floatzel had asked us; we had laughed and told him another time. We did not even cast a vote; everyone voted on us for victory.

At the end of the class period, I went up to Brandon and talked to him. "You are a great singer," I complimented, getting a blush out of him as he looked away, an expression of abashedness crossing his face. "T-thanks; you are great as well," Brandon had told me, his eyes shining as he finally had the courage to look me in the eyes, his watery blue eyes so dashing, so charming I could not help myself. Thankfully,  we were separated from everyone else, in a room to ourselves as I leaned down and kissed Brandon. He did not push me away, only accepted it, his arms wrapping themselves around me.

"And that, my good Roxann, is how I and Brandon got together," Josh finished explaining as we finished our food, looking at me with a small smile.

Alright, Chapter three is done! So, what do yall think of the song I choose for this one? I simply, like Brandon and Josh, LOVE the song; it is one of the best I have ever heard in my life!
