"You're breaking up with me?" Tracy Turnblad sounded hurt and betrayed. Link had told her he loved her! He'd given her his class ring! Had he really been leading her on all this time? Why? What right did he have to do that to her?
"I'm so sorry Darlin'." Link said. He reached for one of her hands but Tracy merely turned and walked away quickly. Suddenly Link felt a huge weight had been lifted from him.
So here we standIn our secret place
With the sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belongLink had watched since the first day he met her. Watched every move she made when she danced. He'd hugged her at the Miss Hairspray Pageant; he'd danced with her. The feel of her smaller, colder hand in his slightly larger, warmer one had sent shivers down his spine. He would've dated her had he not felt so strongly about Tracy. It wasn't until months into his relationship with Tracy that he realized he felt so strongly for her.
So how do I sayHow do I say goodbye?
We both have our dreams
We both wanna fly
So let's take tonight to carry us
Through the lonely times"Mama's sick Link. I can't go out tonight, let alone go to Hollywood with you! As much as I might like to!" She said.
"Doll we had this all planned! Let your Daddy look after her!" He suggested.
"No Link! Mama needs me! Daddy has to work anyway." She replied, folding a few towels and placing them on the pile.
"Darlin' at least see me off on Friday." He said, she looked at him and small smile graced her beautiful face, she nodded.
"Of course. Will Tracy be there?" She asked. Link shook his head.
"I highly doubt she will be. She was pretty hurt that I dumped her for you." Link said softly.
"Well I think you should make it up to her." She said.
"Why? She doesn't mean anything to me anymore Doll. I love you now. Not her."
"She's my friend Link! It'll mean a lot to me if she's there too." He couldn't very well say no, now. If it meant a lot to her, then he'd do it.
"All right. I'll go and ask if she'll still be friends with me." He said and ended this conversation with a kiss.
I'll always look backAs I walk away
This memory will last
For eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I find my way back
To your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The Queen Of My HeartLink looked at everyone who had gathered to see him off and with him well in Hollywood. Seaweed, Penny, Corny, Brad, Fender, Shelly, Tammy, Brenda, Lou Ann, Joey, Becky, Mikey – all the council members past and present. Even Edna and Wilbur Turnblad were there. But Tracy wasn't here and neither was she. Then over the sound of all his friends wishing him well and Edna tears he heard it. Their voices. The sweetest sound in the world.
"Link!" They were here! Link had gone to Tracy's and explained everything to her. They had agreed to remain close friends.
"Tracy! You made it!" He said, catching her in a hug.
"Of course we did! We couldn't miss this. Her fault though." Link's eyes now settled on the little girl that had stolen his heart from Tracy and refused to give it back to her. She was the prettiest and most beautiful girl he'd ever laid eyes on. She stepped forward and was immediately wrapped in his arms.
So let's take tonightAnd never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment
Til we meet again
But no matter how far
Or where you may be
I just close my eyes
And you're in my dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet
"Link, I love you." She whispered into his shoulder. He chuckled and kissed the top of her head softly. He pulled back slightly to look at her.
"Glad to hear it." He whispered, "I'd better go, "He added louder, "the train waits for no one – it doesn't matter if I am Link Larkin, it won't wait for me." They shared one last kiss, more well wishes, a kiss on the cheek from the girls and he climbed onto the train.
I'll always look back As I walk away This Memory will last For eternity And all of our tears Will be lost in the rain When I find my way back To your arms again But until that day You know you are The Queen of my heartAs the train began to pull out he got up and leant out of the door of his carriage. For a moment he disregarded age and everything else as he yelled back to her.
"Will you marry me Inez Stubbs?" She squealed delighted and ran alongside the carriage. She reached out and touched his fingertips with hers.
"Of course I will Link Larkin! Yes!" She reached out again and they just linked fingers before the train picked up speed and he pulled his head back in but not before they blew each other a kiss. Tracy had followed Inez to the very end of the platform and she had unclasped something from around her neck. She lifted it over the head of her smaller companion and clasped it.
"A little piece of Link so he's always with you Inez." She whispered, Inez reached up and rang her fingers over the metal ring that seemed to set her skin alight. She turned to Tracy and smiled softly, but it was a confused smile.
"His ring?" she said softly. Tracy smiled and wrapped an arm around Inez's small shoulder and pulled her close to her side.
"It's his class ring. He only gives it to special girls. You seem so special to him it's time you got it. It's been through every girl he's ever seen as something really special." Tracy said. Inez looked up at Tracy and smiled again, this time it reached his eyes.
"A little piece of Link," Inez recited.
"That's right. And it's all yours." Tracy said as they rejoined the others and made their way off the station platform.
No matter how many years it takes I'm coming home to you Oh yeah, yes you are The Queen of my heart--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
