Okay, I was listening to Phantom of the Opera and CATS, when I got the brilliant idea to use a song from Phantom with characters from CATS.
Disclaimer: If I was lucky enough to own CATS or Phantom of the Opera, I wouldn't have to put a disclaimer on this.
Please, please, please! Don't hurt me with flames. Just some constructive criticism and praise.
Munkustrap sighed and sat up from his bed. He just couldn't sleep tonight for some reason, so Munkustrap decided to take a midnight stroll. He slowly got out of his bed and walked out of his den. As Munkustrap was admiring the stars, he thought he saw a familiar black and gold Queen sitting on the tire. He smiled and padded up to her.
When Demeter heard the sound of someones paws hitting the ground, she hissed and turned around. When she saw Munkustrap's emerald eyes, she relaxed slightly. "Oh, Munkustrap," Demeter whispered shakily. "It's only you," she breathed a sigh of relief before looking back up at the skies.
"What's wrong, Demeter? Ever since we got you back from Macavity, you've been different," Demeter's fur stood on end at Macavity's name and Munkustrap hastily apologized. "Sorry,"
Demeter sighed. "It's not your fault. I've been having nightmares every night. Macavity haunts my dreams," she looked at Munkustrap tearfully. "I don't know what to do, Munkustrap. I'm scared," Demeter started sobbing into Munkustrap's shoulder. Not knowing what else to do, he quietly started to sing.
Munkustrap
No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
Demeter looked up at him with the tears still in her eyes. Munkustrap smiled encouragingly at her, however, so she sat up and hesitantly began singing.
Demeter
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Munkustrap
Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
Demeter
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
Demeter looked at Munkustrap fearfully and hugged him tightly
And you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
Munkustrap
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Demeter,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Demeter
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
BOTH
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
Demeter
Say you love me . . .
Munkustrap
You know I do . . .
BOTH
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Munkustrap kissed Demeter gently before she pulled away. "Do you really mean it?" he asked quietly, and she smiled.
"Of course. I love you, Munkustrap, I always have and I always will,"
BOTH
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .
This time it was Demeter who started the kiss and Munkustrap who ended it. He smiled widely before taking Demeter in his arms. "Demeter, there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a very long time. Will you be my mate?"
Demeter's mouth opened in an "o" of surprise and stayed like that for a few seconds until she regained her composure. "Of course," she started purring contentedly. About halfway through her purring, however, it changed into a yawn.
Munkustrap grinned and gently lifted her up. He carried her to her den and settled Demeter down on her bed. "See you tomorrow," he whispered into her ear before going back to his own den. Munkustrap lay down and smiled to himself. "I should have gone on a midnight stroll weeks ago," he murmured to himself before slowly drifting off to sleep with a large smile still on his face.
