Koreoke, Washington DC, Saturday Night

[spin_kick_snap]

Sure, some people were busy fighting rampaging snow monsters and stuff today. But for those who were friends with Kathy and Dante, they had another option available to them: Kathy's 21st birthday party!

Their venue for the evening was Koreoke, a Korean barbeque restaurant that doubled as a karaoke bar. Kathy had rented out the back room for her party, which included three long barbeque tables, a stage with up to four microphones (in case of boy bands and group numbers), and a bartender along the far wall to serve drinks all night until last call.

Because if turning twenty-one wasn't a good reason to stuff yourself full of grilled meat (well, veggies and tofu in Kathy's case), get drunk, and sing your heart out to the largest selection of karaoke tracks Kathy had ever seen in one place, then what was?!

[Up VERY early for SP because holidays are a THING (and so are BDEs). Open to pretty much anyone who is/was Kathy's friend (or Dante's friends that Kathy also knows)!]

Dante chuckled. He kissed her mouth this time, slow but full of promise.

"So..." Kathy breathed when he pulled away, "how much longer does this thing last?"

"I mean..." Dante said, grinning at her. "It's your party."

"Yeah, but we haven't even had a crazy 80s duet yet," Kathy said, grinning. "Also, I'm sure you haven't had your fill of delicious Korean meat."

"I thought that wasn't gonna be until next year?" Dante said, winking. "... But fine, I guess we can do karaoke for a while. If we gotta, we gotta."

"Is that an every other year thing?" Kathy asked. She'd never paid attention before because it had never affected her. Kinda like being a little kid.

"And we do gotta. Or Turn Around and Bright Eyes will be sad. And you know you can't bear to disappoint them."

"I dunno, but I don't think there's enough year left to have it happen right now," Dante mused.

He tilted his head. "So... Toto or Cyndi?"

"Toto," Kathy declared. "Africa is a Christmas song."

Dante grinned. "You're a girl after my own heart," he said, clutching his chest dramatically.

"But it is!" Kathy said, giggling. "And, I mean, obviously I am."

"We got to go sing that now," Dante informed her, reaching for her hand.

Kathy slid her fingers through his, pulled him in for a quick kiss, and dragged him up to the stage.

Dante laughed. He didn't need a lot of dragging, he went happily.
