Singing It Out Loud

It was nighttime in Clan Gully’s clan-house, and almost everyone was asleep or getting ready for bed; this included Adelle and Luso who was, for some reason, very flustered. Cid, all but in his night cap and seated in the commons, listened in amusement as Adelle went through her nighttime routine humming a strange tune that he’s never heard and Luso, in his pajamas, chasing her everywhere telling her to “stop humming it!” and “where did you even pick it up anyway?” and the rare, “I can’t believe you know it!” What Cid found strange was that Luso was flustered more from embarrassment than annoyance; albeit annoyance was still there.

When Adelle had finished her routine, she plopped down next to Ransem and snatched his novel from his hands, to which he replied with a doomed-to-be-ignored “Hey!!” before stomping off to his room. Adelle idly flipped through the book before she looked up to see a seething Luso in front of her. She sighed, “Honestly, Luso. They’re just songs I picked up. You said it yourself—there are things from this world that are in yours too. Like that hair-dryer.”

“It’s. Called. A. Blow-dryer. And I KNOW you’re lying!!” Luso spoke through clenched teeth.

Adelle gave him a long, amused look before replying, “Hair-dryer.”

“GAH!” Luso threw his hands up into the air and stomped off, “I give up! I’m going to bed!!!!”

Adelle giggled as she watched him leave. Cid, who was watching the whole thing, shook his head, “You should stop teasing the lad.”

“But he makes it so easy!” She replied with another giggle.

“What is it that you’re teasing him about anyway?” He inquired.

“That’s for me to know and for you to find out~” She sang. She stood, handing Ransem’s book to Cid, “Give this back to Ransem, would ya? Thanks.” And with this, she went off to her room.

Cid smiled and shook his head. This was the usual nightly routine, including the part where Ransem’s book was snatched out of his hands.

-------

Cid never gave the teasing routine a deep thought until, one morning, he woke up extremely early after a restless night. He left his room and headed to the kitchen to get some water before starting his morning routine. The kitchen was a nice area that most people tended to avoid during the day, as the nu mous had converted it to be their lab. Most of the clanners preferred to eat food outside, not trusting anything that had come in contact with the nu mous or their experimentations. Luso was the only one crazy enough to eat from there, and thus kept the kitchen stocked up on perishable supplies. Nonetheless, Cid and a few others sometimes braved the kitchen to get a drink, but never food.

Cid sighed contently as he drank his water, looking out the huge hole in the corner of the ceiling (long story short: something went boom). The day outside seemed beautiful and fit for a long training session, unless Luso had other plans and wanted to do a quest. After finishing, Cid went to return the cup to its place when he heard a strange noise outside. He looked up just in time to see something pink move right outside of the hole. His heart started to hammer, as it was still too early for anyone to be up yet.

Still in his pajamas, Cid went outside and scaled the roof of the clan-house until he was next to the huge hole. He looked around and spotted Adelle in her pink pajamas seated in the near distance. He frowned and walked up to her, “Isn’t it a bit early for you to be up?”

Adelle jumped in surprise at hearing Cid’s voice but quickly calmed down. “I wouldn’t want to miss the show~” She replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She patted the spot next to her, “Come, sit down; it’s about to start.”

Knowing better than to argue, Cid obediently sat down next to the girl and realized that they were sitting facing a window—Luso’s bedroom window. It was a spectacular view too, for the window was huge and revealed everything in the room. Luso had the biggest room in the clan-house, since he was unofficially the leader. Technically, Cid was the leader and Luso was his second-in-command, but Luso had taken over when Cid was bedridden and it stayed that way after that incident. Since Luso was doing a great job and everyone seemed happy, Cid never bothered to get his position back, for life was simpler when all you did was follow orders. Everyone regarded Luso as the leader, even the Clan’s Judge. Thus, when they had become region masters and the clan-house was built, Luso got the biggest room; not that anyone minded….except Adelle.

Clan Gully’s clan-house was one huge building. The kitchen, the lab (the actual lab that was set up for the explosive nu mous), the meditating room, the meeting rooms, etc. were all spread out on one floor. The commons room was in a corner of the building, and on top of it was where all of the bedrooms (or dorms) were built. The region’s rules dictated that the clan leader’s room had to be on the first or second floors, and, by a mistake from the carpenters, the window wound up on the wrong side of the room, facing the roof of the rest of the building instead of the great outdoors.

Inside the aforementioned room, Luso was not in his bed. As a matter of fact, he wasn’t anywhere in the room. He wanted to ask Adelle where Luso was (because she couldn’t just come up here to watch the empty room, right?) but she instantly announced, “It’s starting! Pay attention, Cid! And keep quiet!”

Cid turned his attention to the window. He watched as strolled into the room, hair drenched wet (a morning bath?) and dressed in his dark-colored pants. He watched as Luso picked up the blow-dryer from the dresser and activated it (that thing was loud) and started drying his hair. It was all normal routine…until Luso seemed to break out into a klutzy shuffle dance in front of the mirror. The next few minutes were something that cheered Cid up on his darkest days for the rest of his life—Luso started singing.

“Wake up tired
Monday mornings suck
It's way too early to catch a bus
Why conform without a fuss?
Daddy, daddy no!
I don't wanna go to school!”

Luso wasn’t a bad singer, not really. He was better than Cid, but not as good as Adelle or Hurdy. His dancing was composed of completely random moves, and it could be compared to trying to get a Gria dancing.

“I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare
Meet Juliet or Mavolio
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now
I wanna break out lets go”

It wasn’t the fact that he was singing that was outright hilarious—granted, it was funny—but the dance that accompanied it was what sealed the deal. Cid had to fight his hardest to not make a sound, and Adelle seemed to be having the same exact problem.

“Teachers treat us all like clones
Sit up straight - take off your head phones
I don't blame them, they get paid
Money, money, woo
Lots of money, money – woo”

Luso’s moves were very random indeed. Bobbing his head like a pigeon; how embarrassing.

“I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare
Meet Juliet or Mavolio
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now
I wanna break out lets go”

After that, Luso turned off the blow-dryer and started combing his hair. While doing so, he started singing something else, dancing with exaggerated hand movements and singing a very, very sad excuse of a pitched voice.

“Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha”

Luso emphasized the “haha”s by shaking his hips. The funniest part was that he was singing and dancing with such earnest and thoroughly enjoying himself—it made it all the funnier.

“Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha ”

Even while putting on his intricately difficult armor, Luso kept on singing. They always say that the third time is the charm, and it really, really was.

“It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
If the way is hazy
You gotta do the cooking by the book
You know you can't be lazy
Never use a messy recipe
The cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book
Then you'll have a cake

We gotta have it made
You know that I love cake
Finally it's time to make a ca—ack!!”

Luso, standing while putting on his shoes, stumbled forward and landed on his face. Cid broke out into small snickers, and Adelle had turned around and was giggling madly. Cid watched Luso stood up and searched the room for his hat and couldn’t help but wonder on how terrible of an influence Adelle must be if she could get him to invade Luso’s privacy so easy. It was lucky the boy hasn’t looked out the window yet.

Luso found his hat underneath the bed. He dusted it off before returning to the dresser’s mirror to make sure he put the hat on correctly. And, of course, he sang.

“Dansa med oss
Klappa era hnder
Gr som vi gr
Ta ngra steg t vnster
Lyssna och lr
Missa inte chansen
Nu r vi hr med
Caramelldansen”

Luso had long placed the hat on his head the way he wanted and was now doing some strange dance that included strange foot- , hand-, and hip movement and he looked so happy doing it and it looked so funny and Cid wasn’t sure how he was keeping quiet anymore.

“O-o-oa-oa
O-o-oa-oa-o
O-o-oa-oa
O-o-oa-oa-o”

After that, Luso proceeded to leave his room. Cid took that as a sign to break out in laughter, but Adelle jumped up from beside him and ran off, saying something about having to be gone before Luso notices he left the window closed and come back to open it. Cid barely processed what she said before he heard Luso open his room’s door, to which Cid scrambled after Adelle. He got back into the commons before Luso made it back down again, and found Adelle already there, plopped up and looking cozy while reading…Ransem’s book…where did she get it from?! He returned it the night before!

Before he had a chance to ask, Luso came bounding down the stair, “It’s a beautiful looking day outside! We should totally do a quest or two!”

“Good morning to you too,” Adelle replied. Luso now noticed Cid, “Morning Cid! Why are you still in your pajamas? Why are you even up yet? You usually sleep in another hour or two.”

Cid, of course, couldn’t speak. Upon seeing Luso again, all he could think about was what he saw earlier, and bursting out laughing would be a terrible idea. Instead, Cid shrugged and turned around, barely able to resist smiling like an idiot. Luso didn’t seem to notice anything as he went on, “Hey, do you think there’s any cake left? I think Vitor and Tomas ate it all, those fat nu mous. I’m in the mood for cake, too. Oh! Better idea—I’ll go buy some cake and then head to the pub and see if there’s any good quests. And Cid, go get some water. You better not be falling sick!” With that, Luso bounded out of the room, and just in time too. The mention of cake had Adelle smiling and Cid snickering, which he’d been able to cover up as coughs. As soon as Luso left, Cid broke into laughter, which made Adelle, in turn, break into laughter. It became too difficult to even stay standing, and Cid was soon on the floor laughing. They kept on laughing until they were forced to calm down and breathe, and then started laughing again.


From that night on, Adelle’s, Luso’s, and Cid’s night routines changed. It was still pretty much the same, except that Adelle would sing loudly rather than hum, Luso would be even more flustered, and Cid would be laughing the whole night through. Ransem, not knowing what set off the change, often found himself muttering about how respectable they all seemed at first and how he’s really the only sane Hume—heck, the only sane clanner—in Clan Gully.
