PreNote:Things were getting too serious, and it's not looking to get much better for a while. Upon realizing this, I decided that now was a good time for a new parody. Today, I'll be parodying fics that try to be musicals. I can't write songs. This should be interesting.
I also feel I should take this moment to warn you that I have no more idea what's happening than you do. This is pure improv.
Reality flickered into focus and took the shape of a bright red digital display that read 6:58 AM. After a moment, the sleeping boy rolled over, muttering incoherently, and tried to go back to sleep. He was aware enough to note the passage of time, but not so much that random visions of people stopped dancing through his head. On one level, it all made perfect sense. On another, he wondered what was taking his alarm so long.
It wasn't that he wanted to get up, of course. What he wanted was nothing more than to sleep until noon, maybe wake up to have lunch, and then go back to bed for a few hours. It had been a long night. An hour later, he glanced at the clock again to see that only a minute had actually passed, and spared the brief nanosecond before closing his eyes again to wish he had time powers like Clockwork. He would so stop time and just sleep…
The sudden sound of a trumpet fanfare sent him screaming to his feet. Sadly, because he was still in bed at the time, he tripped over his legs and landed on the floor tangled in the bed sheet. The door to his room slammed open, and before he even had a chance to consider reacting, Jack Fenton poked his head in and sang in a low baritone, "Good morning!"
Immediately following this, Maddie did likewise, in a higher pitch. "Good morning!"
And Jazz. "Goodmorning!"
Whereupon, all three of them struck a chord together. "Good morniiiing!"
It was like something out of a bad Broadway musical. Maddie slid into the room and began a dance routine. "It's a beautiful day…"
"The sun's shining bright…" Jack continued, bouncing at the knees in time to the source-less music.
Jazz slid to a kneel in front of her mother, arms out in a joyous pose. "Time to wake up…from the dreams of the niiiight!"
Then they were all tap dancing in a line. Jazz and Maddie harmonized, "And so that's why we saaaay…"
"Why…we say…" Jack added for good measure.
They finished the musical interlude together with, "Good morning…to you…this daaay!"
Then they were gone, and the door slammed shut. Danny blinked and stared after them for several minutes before his brain decided to resume normal function and wonder what exactly had just happened. "Okay…" he muttered, standing.
Suddenly, he was certain that it was going to be a long day.
