"Are you ready for your first song?" Blue asked.

"Yes!" Replied everyone except Catherine Parr, who seemed to think that there was no way that this musical could do her or the others justice.

And tonight, New York City, we are
Live!


"Thats it? A catchy rhyme of how we left Henry?" Catherine Parr said"It's not that bad." Replied Anne of Cleves"I think it sounds good so far." Said Katherine Howard 


Listen up, let me tell you a story

A story that you think you've heard before

We know you know our names and our fame and our faces
Know all about the glories and the disgraces

I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word in a stupid rhyme
So I picked up a pen and a microphone
History's about to get overthrown


"Feisty... I like it." Said Anne Boleyn.


Divorced. Beheaded
Died

Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded, live!

Welcome to the show, to the histo-remix
Switching up the flow, as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

Raising up the roof, 'til we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth that we'll be revealing
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we're ex-wives

New York, make some noise!All you ever hear and read about
Is our ex and the way it ended
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush
You're gonna find out how we got unfriended

Tonight we're gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court
Every Tudor rose has its thorns
And you're gonna hear 'em live in consort

Katherine Howard looked a little uncomfortable at the Tudor rose part. Henry had always told her that she was his 'rose without thorns,' but she decided to brush it off.

"It's like they think that those are the only words that describe us." Parr huffed.


Welcome to the show, to the histo-remix
Switching up the flow, as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
Dancing through the night 'til the break of day
Once we're done, we'll start again
Like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we're ex-wives

Remember us, from PBS?
DivorcedMy name's Catherine Of Aragon
Was married 24 years, I'm a paragon
Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won't try that again


"We get our own parts now?" Katherine Howard said"It's only fitting, since this is a musical about us," Jane Seymour replied, was Catherine of Aragon silently complimented the writers on her part of the song."Yours is next Anne!" Said Katherine


BeheadedI'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up next
See, I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well, my sleeves may be green
But my lipstick's red!


"Exactly!" Anne Boleyn said.Parr scoffed. "I wouldn't call you sexy if I were them.""Why not?" Anne demanded. "I am so sexy."Parr just rolled her eyes and focused on the screen.


DiedJane Seymour, the only one he truly loved
Rude
When my son was newly born, I died
But I'm not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around, and you'll suddenly see more


"Rude!" Said every other Queen but Jane, as she blushed.


DivorcedIch bin Anna of Cleves
Ja
When he saw my portrait he was like
Ja!
But I didn't look as good as I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss that, but never Henry's little


"Ja!" Katherine H and both of the Annes sang along with the music."I'm next!" Said Katherine.


Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine who lost her headBeheadedFor my promiscuity outside of wed
Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons
K Howard is here, and the fun's begun


Well, it definitely wasn't quite what Katherine H was expecting, but hopefully there would be something better later on. Anne of Cleves patted her arm sympathetically.


SurvivedFive down, I'm the final wife
I saw him to the end of his life
I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said, I bet you wanna know how I got this far


"I'm known as the survivor?" Parr asked?"But I lived like, ten years later than you!" Anne of Cleves said.


Do you wanna know how we got this far?Then welcome to the show, to the histo-remix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

Come on, come on, come on!

Turn the beat up, get this party buzzing
You want a queen bee, well there's half a dozen
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we're ex-wives
One, two, three, four, five
SIX!


"Well," said blue, "how was that?"
"It was an interesting take on things, but I was very catchy and enjoyable." Said Jane.
"I found it alright." Catherine of Aragon added.
"It was amazing! Said Katherine Howard, and Anne Boleyn smiled and agreed.
"It was definitely something... hopefully that's a good thing." Catherine Parr said.

A/N thank you for reading so far! Sorry about the weird spacing, I tried to fix it but it just made it worse (see the first few lines), so I decided to just leave it and ope that you can cope. I'll update soon, bye!

UPDATED A/N: hi, it's me (again), if you're bothered to read this you're probably hoping for another part. I've always found that I need motivation to do these things, and because my writing is terrible I've found that people don't usually motivate me (it's terrible writing why should they), but there's really no need to waste my time writing if nobody wants to read it. 

So, what i thought was that if I get ONE comment telling me that they like a certain sentence, or to update, then I'll update again! And fast, don't worry!
