"Emily will find a better place to fall asleep
She belongs to fairy tales that I could never be
The future haunts with memories that I could never have
And hope is just a stranger wondering how it got so bad"

Trading Yesterday

They are perfect together.

Really- they are- birds of a feather, two peas in a pod- and all that jazz…

…so you did the Right Thing.

He was kind of miserable without her-whining and angry and full of… of…

(Hurtfearwant)

But…

(and here's the knee-slapper)

So were you.

…But that's O.K.

Like- he's still your little bro.

And she's good with him.

They're good together-

…You knew this…

…so why did it hurt so much?

Because everything is great now- you're back on deck…

Not trapped in that Flying Balloon of Death-

Not stranded on a deserted island-

(…With Her.)

Oh. No.

No- you were not going there.

He told you, didn't he? Say it straight up-

("You're going to end up with Bailey and I'll be left with Skully")

But …he's wrong.

For somebody so smart- Cody could be really stupid.

…it was never YouandHer.

O.K- yeah, maybe you saw Her first.

…And saved her first and fought for Her first

(andkindoflikedherfirst)

But come on!

You!

And… Her!

Please.

… that's all…all fairy tales and wishes and princess and princes-

You aren't a Prince-

…so…

(someone please kill you now)

You are the frigging Fairy God Mother.

The Wizard-

-the Dark Knight-

…You just wanted to help save her.

And him.

And put them back together again.

…So they damn well better be happy-

Get married, six kids, white picket fence and the Labrador- the whole shebang.

…if Cody messed this up, you totally were going to slap him.

Or worse.

(...you might just keep her…)

…after all- you've never been a Prince…

"Emily will find a better place to fall asleep
Maybe she will save me in the oceans of her dreams
And maybe someday love"

Hmmm- this is what procrastination on your English Renaissance homework looks like…Reviewers receive hugs and cyber Hershey's chocolate kisses!
