Faculty Party - Friday Afternoon

Lorelai was grateful that Bucky took a nap for part of the morning. It gave her plenty of time to transport food from the diner to the teacher's lounge.

She got everything set up and even decorated the lounge so it would be a little more festive. Since it's Lorelai, that means she hung up some balloons and streamers and covered everything with glitter.

Everything was ready in plenty of time and she was sitting on one of the couches giving Bucky a bottle, waiting for people to start showing up.

[~~wait for ocd~~ have at it!]

"Oh look we have a volunteer!" Lorne said offering the microphone to Ellie. "Treat us with a musical number why don't you, sweetie?"

Ellie gaped. "I-I-I don't know how to sing!" she protested.

"Doesn't matter. People have made careers on less," Lorne replied poking at the karaoke machine. "What song do you want to sing?"

"Umm, does it have Monty Python's Galaxy Song?" she asked, picking the first thing to come to mind.

Lorne pokes a couple of buttons and the familiar sounds of the Monty Python music starts up. Lorne offers her the microphone again. "From the top!"

Ellie cleared her throat and nervously began.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

"Bwah-ha-ha! Everyone! Give it up for..." Lorne paused for a second. "What was your name again, cutie?"

~~Yes technically Lorne would know what her name is after singing. Shh!~~

"Ellie," she said, blushing.

"Everyone give it up for Shelly!" Lorne cried out and applauded wildly.

"Ellie," Ellie said demurely, blushing even more.

"Shelly, Ladies and Gentlemen! Isn't she wonderful!" Lorne continued on oblivious to anyone's real name.
