[50] Carpool Kareoke

"So what's next on our adventure agenda?" Izumi asked with a curious smile.

Rin turned to him, adding an air of suspense to the moment. "Next.... we're heading to Goldens."

Aki, intrigued by the mysterious name, couldn't contain her excitement. "Where? Where are we going?"

Izumi said his eyes lighting up. "Ah, it's time for that, huh?"

Rin suggested, "Yeah, let's get going!" as a sense of excitement filled her.

"Right!" Izumi, showing agreement, made a motion to move forward.

Aki, however, interrupted with impatience, "Wait a sec, both of you~." She wanted an explanation.

Izumi questioned her, "What happened? Aki!"

Aki, still annoyed, responded with a pout, "What happened...like I'm asking both of you to tell me what you're talking about."

Seeing Aki's expression, Rin couldn't help but comment with genuine fondness, "Woah! Aki-Chan, you are looking so cute."

She observed Aki's pouty cheeks and playfully attempted to pinch them.

Aki's cheeks reddened as she protested, "Ah, stop doing that!"

Rin chimed in, making her point. "Well, then, stop asking about our destination."

Aki was genuinely puzzled. "But why?"

Rin's response was filled with mystery. "Because it's a surprise for you. So how about we move forward, and you find about naturally"

*Broom*

Thats when horn sound of a car interrupted their conversation, and they all turned towards the source of the noise.

What they saw was Mey, Rin's maid watching them from inside a Red honda car.

The red Honda was a sleek, modern car with a polished exterior that gleamed under the sunlight. Its black-tinted windows added an air of mystery to the vehicle, making it look both stylish and discreet.

The car's design exuded a sense of luxury and comfort, with plush leather seats visible through the open window. It was evident that this car had been meticulously cared for, giving it a pristine appearance.

Mey sat confidently in the driver's seat, her hands resting on the steering wheel. The car's interior was just as well-maintained, with a clean and organized dashboard.

"Rin-Sama, the car is ready!" Mey called out, her gaze focused outside the open window next to her.

The car was waiting for them, ready to take them to the next part of their adventure.

The trio eagerly approached the red Honda, the car doors opened, and they found their designated spots.

Izumi, with a grin on his face, called dibs on the front passenger seat, quickly sliding into it.

"Front seat's mine!" he announced with excitement. Mey, who had been patiently waiting in the driver's seat, smiled and nodded.

Rin and Aki squeezed into the back seat. As they settled in, there were sounds of laughter and discussions about who would sit where. Aki piped up, "Rin, why don't you take the right window seat?"

Rin nodded in agreement, "Sure, I'll take that one."

With their seats decided, they were ready to hit the road and continue their adventure. The engine started, and the red Honda rolled forward, carrying them to their next destination.

Mey started the engine of the car, and the gentle hum of the car's motor filled the space.

Rin, who was eager to set the tone for the road trip, inquired about the car's music system, "Mey, did you insert all the songs into the car's music system?"

"Yes, Rin-Sama, I already took care of that."

Rin was pleased with the readiness of the music system, and her excitement was contagious.

"Great! So, Aki, Izumi, what do you say about a karaoke session inside the car?" Suggested Rin

Aki seemed a bit puzzled by the idea of karaoke in a car, "Karaoke, inside a car? How does that even work?"

Mey, with her calm demeanor, explained the process, "It's quite simple, Aki. You just have to insert the SD card with your favorite music into the car's music system."

"Oh, right! That sounds interesting."

Izumi was equally intrigued and supportive of the idea, "This actually sounds fun. I'm up for it!"

With everyone on board, Rin eagerly pressed the music start button to commence their in-car karaoke session.

"Konna koto iina dekitara iina

Anna yume konna yume ippai aru kedo"

As the familiar melody of the Doraemon theme song filled the car, Izumi couldn't help but recognize the tune immediately.

He enthusiastically pointed out, "Hey, isn't that the Doraemon theme!x

Rin, who shared Izumi's recognition, chimed in, affirming his observation. "Yeah! You're absolutely right, Izumi."

Aki, who had joined the conversation with her own burst of excitement, couldn't contain her enthusiasm either. "Doraemon! I love watching that show!" The nostalgia of the tune brought a smile to her face.

The timeless lyrics continued to play, and the three friends enjoyed the beloved theme song from the popular anime, singing along and reminiscing about the adventures of Doraemon and Nobita.

"Minna minna minna kanaete kureru

Fushigina pokke de kanaete kureru

Sora wo jiyuu ni tobitaina" The song continued

Amidst the cheerful singing of the Doraemon theme, Aki expressed her wish, her voice tinged with longing. "I wish I had a Doraemon for myself," she mused, her tone dreamy.

Izumi couldn't agree more, echoing her sentiment. "Yeah, life would be so much easier with Doraemon's gadgets," he pondered aloud.

Rin, however, added her unique twist to the discussion, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Yeah, and I would have taken over the world with his gadgets," she said with a playfully wicked grin, accompanied by a little imaginary dark aura.

Aki, with a laugh, responded to Rin's playful remark. "Rin, you're evil!"

Izumi joined in the teasing. "I didn't know you were a devil, Rin!"

Rin, feigning offense, aimed a light punch at Izumi's arm. "Hey, who are you calling a devil?" she asked with a smirk, her punch playful and harmless.

Their banter continued merrily as they sang along to the music, enjoying the light-hearted camaraderie of the moment.

"Hai! Takekoputaa," the trio chanted in unison, their voices harmonizing with excitement.

Izumi, beaming, expressed his fondness for the phrase. "Hehehe! I love saying that very much!" he confessed.

Rin and Aki joined in, sharing their enthusiasm. "Me as well!" Rin chimed in. "And me also," Aki added with a cheerful grin.

As the Doraemon theme song continued, they sang with hearts full of joy, their voices blending together in perfect synchronization. "Sekai ryokou ni ikitaina, 'Ufufufu! Dokodemo doaa.'"

And together, they closed out the song with heartfelt admiration. "An an an tottemo daisuki Doraemon, an an an tottemo daisuki Doraemon."

"That was fun," Izumi said with a smile.

Rin's enthusiasm was infectious. "Yeah, I really wanna do this again."

Rin, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, declared, "Who said the karaoke session ends, my dear Aki-Chan? We are continuing this till we reach our destination."

"GOMEN NE sunao ja nakute

yume no naka nara ieru"

And with that, a new song began playing from the car's music system, and their carpool karaoke adventure continued.

Aki's suggestion had sparked their creativity. "We really should name this activity something?" she said.

Izumi found the idea intriguing. "A name? That could be cool."

Rin wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "It sounds amazing!"

Aki was eager to explore the possibilities. "Then what should we name it?"

Rin offered some initial suggestions, "Maybe Music in Car... or Karaoke in Car!"

Aki thought for a moment and then decided, "Nah, it doesn't feel catchy. Let's try something different."

And with that, the girls embarked on the creative journey of naming their newfound activity.

*Several minutes later*

After much brainstorming, they still hadn't found a suitable name. Rin let out a sigh of frustration, "It doesn't sound great."

Aki, feeling a bit worn out by the naming process, agreed, "woah! Never thought naming something will be this exhusting ."

Rin turned to Izumi for inspiration, "Hey Izumi, why don't you suggest something?"

Izumi considered for a moment, then proposed, "How about calling it 'Carpool Karaoke'?"

The suggestion hung in the air for a moment, and then Rin and Aki simultaneously reacted, "Carpool... Kareoke."

Izumi worried that maybe his idea wasn't well-received, but Aki quickly reassured him, "It's amazing. We should totally call it Carpool Karaoke!"

As the name now settled, the trio amused themselves with thoughts of how someone else might create a TV show based on their carpool karaoke idea.

"Imagine if someone made a TV show about this— doing carpool kareoke" Aki giggled.

"I can totally see a famous comedian doing something like this," Rin mused. "They'd drive around with different celebrities, singing and interviews"

Rin couldn't help but join in, "And imagine the crazy challenges and funny conversations they'd have. It would be so entertaining!"

Their imaginative chatter about how another group might turn carpool karaoke into a television sensation kept them entertained throughout the ride.

The car ride continued with laughter and music, but eventually, it came to a halt. Mey turned to Rin and said, "Rin-Sama, we've reached our destination."

Rin smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mey, for driving us here. You're the best!"

Rin then turned to Izumi, Aki, and Mey, and said, "Alright, let's go inside. Our adventure awaits us there!" Pointing twords the two story yellow building next to them, which has written "Goldens"

With anticipation in the air, the gang stepped out of the car and headed towards the exciting next part of their outing
