The Dance In the Tipton Ballroom
Previously....London simply stood there for a minute or two, speechless. Seto Kaiba, on a vacation, relaxing…?
It didn’t make any sense, at least to her. She then picked up Ivana and headed up to her room on the top floor.*************“Come on, boys,” said Kaiba. The three then headed outside. Of course, Zack and Cody stopped upon seeing the limo.
“Whoa. Kaiba, is this your limo?” said Zack.
“Absolutely, Zack,” said Kaiba.
“And you can tell us apart too,” said Cody.
Kaiba nodded.
“But we’re twins. You sure you can tell us apart just like that?” said Zack.
“Of course I’m sure,” said Kaiba.
Zack and Cody looked at each other. “Cool!” they chorused.
They then went all around the town in Kaiba’s limo. Of course, when Zack and Cody got hungry, they tried taking their minds off it by pushing all the buttons.
That night when they got back, it was 6:00 PM, so Kaiba sent the boys to their room with the food he had bought them. Then he turned to the candy counter. Maddie looked up, and her heart gave a jolt.
“Uh, Kaiba-” she began.
“Please, call me Seto,” said Kaiba. He was turning on the charm. “You know what catches my eye?”
“Some of this candy?” she asked, motioning to the candy behind her.
“No. You do, Maddie,” he replied.
Her eyes widened. “Really?”
He nodded, and then held out his hand.
She stepped out from behind the counter and over to him. He wrapped his hand around hers and led her to the Tipton Ballroom. Once they were inside, he snapped his fingers. Instantly the song “Rockstar” by Nickelback began playing. Kaiba had turned the volume down just right, so only he and Maddie could hear it. Then they began to slow dance. Kaiba had one of his hands in Maddie’s, and the other around her waist. Maddie had one hand on Kaiba’s shoulder.
“I’m through with standin’ in line
To clubs I’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth
And I’m never gonna win
This life hasn’t turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(Yeah, so what you need)
I’ll need a.. a credit card that’s got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name
CHORUS
‛Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
Where the girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‛cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And well…
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight bodyguards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I’ll have the quesadilla, ha ha)
I’m gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’m gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair
And change my name
‛Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‛cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
Today’s “who's who”
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
Drug dealer on speed dial
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I’m gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a Pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync ‛em every night so I don’t get ‛em wrong
Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‛cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today’s “who’s who”
They’ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
Drug dealer on speed dial
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar”Then after the song ended, Maddie looked at Kaiba.
“Seto, I had no idea you were a good dancer,” she said, blushing a little.
“I know,” he said. “I practiced in secret.”
Maddie and Kaiba smiled as the lyrics to Kiss from a Rose by Seal then popped into their heads.
Kaiba remembered the first time he had heard the song…
Flashback…Kaiba groaned as he sat in his chair. He really needed to relax. He thought for a minute. ‛I need something to help me relax.’
Then it came to him. “Music,” he whispered. "That’s it!"
He turned on the radio. Instantly “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal began playing. Kaiba smiled and listened to the song…
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill
But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I’ve been kissed by a rose
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I’ve been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the gray
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny, yeah
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
the light that you shine can be seen
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom... on the... gray...
When the song came to an end, Kaiba felt really relaxed. That song was a good one.End of flashback…“You know, Maddie,” he said, “I am a kiss from a rose myself. I’m handsome, but with a hint of danger.”
“Wow. That’s poetic,” said Maddie. Kaiba felt he could not agree more.
