Work Text:
Julia Winter, 12, looked at actor Johnny Depp, her co-star in the film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", her sky-blue orbs narrowed as he walked boldly into the nightclub, something she wished she could do, as she herself was a star.
So, a few minutes later, she stepped over the threshold of the nightclub. Immediately, a blast of cold air hit her in the face, blowing her chocolate locks back from her face, the music pounding against her eardrums. Luckily the volume was at a bearable level, so she was able to stand it; she soon found a seat two seats away from the stage.
Then, to her puzzlement, pop star Britney Spears walked onto the stage to cheers and applause.
Smiling, she said,
"Hello, you guys. Here's a great song from my album titled "Circus", and it's called 'Womanizer'.
"Plus," she went on, "I've chosen someone very special to sing it with me....and that person is....Julia Winter!"
For the first time, Julia felt a smile cross her face as she rose from her seat and walked up and onto the stage. They hugged each other.
Then, they stepped up to their microphones, as the music began to play...
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Got a clue, what you doing?
You can play brand new to
All the other chicks out here
But I know what you are
What you are, baby
Look at you
Gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby you
Got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one
But I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are
What you are, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer
Womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You got me going
You're oh so charming
But I can't do it
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You say I'm crazy
I got you crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer
Daddy-O
You got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you
You just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many
Makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are
That's just who you are, baby
Lollipop
Must mistake me, you're the sucker
To think that I
Would be a victim, not another
Say it, play it, how you wanna?
But no way I'm ever gonna
Fall for you
Never you, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer
Womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You got me going
You're oh so charming
But I can't do it
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You say I'm crazy
I got you crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer"
Then Julia locked eyes with Johnny Depp and gave him a cocky smile as she sang the bridge part with Britney doing the echo.
We both lived in a
Different world (womanizer womanizer womanizer womanizer), yeah
It would be all good
And maybe I could be your girl
But I can't
'Cause we don't, you"
Then they were back to singing as a duet on the rest of the song.
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer
Womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You got me going
You're oh so charming
But I can't do it
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You say I'm crazy
I got you crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby"
Then the audience burst into applause as Britney and Julia turned and embraced each other. Then Britney said into the mike,
"Julia Winter, ladies and gentlemen."
"Thank you," said Julia, smiling all the while.
Even Johnny was amazed, but smiled as well. He loved how Julia connected her eyes with his, as though he was asking to be let into her soul, and she had paused briefly before inviting him in.
He loved it. Apparently Julia was a great singer. He loved the sound of her voice. She sounded so great!
