Phoebe-and-Tabbatha Studios present…
Hey There Blackberry!
Tabbatha- We do not own the song Hey There Delilah, because we do not have noses that have reached Tom's level of awesome. And we don't own WSD, because Richard Adams beat us to it.
Phoebe- Set in the TV show version of WSD, cause if Campion were writing a love song for the book Blackberry… (shudders) creepy. Anyway, without further ado, ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
Campion had a lot on his mind as he lay in his quarters, centered in the very heart of Darkhaven. One of these days, Woundwort was going to get what was coming to him. Just wait, he thought. You just wait.
Then his mind turned, and he blinked back tears. He thought of Blackberry, who had just recently found out he was alive. He wanted so bad to talk to Blackberry once more, but of course Campion knew the consequences of that.
Ran began to fall above in an odd array of taps, almost making out a beat with every other tap emphasized.
Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP
And then the pitch dropped an octave.
Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP, Tap, TAP
And the process repeated itself, over and over.
Campion thought of Blackberry, her smile and charm, her beauty… Campion shook his head. It's better not to dream of a better place, he thought. You always wake up to these four walls.
Then he thought of her again, and Campion's melancholy melted away, replaced by sweet love. He felt the words in him, for his unconscious mind had already prepared them. Softly, he sang up to the stars, just for Blackberry to the beat of the taps.
"Hey there Blackberry, how are things on Watership Down?
You seem a thousand miles away, but just your name, it still turn my frown
To a smile…
Blackberry I know it's been a while,
But I still smile.
Hey there Blackberry, don't you worry about the distance,
I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen, close your eyes.
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side.
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me,
Hey there Blackberry, I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, doe, someday I'll show Woundwort just what we are
We'll have it good.
We'll have the life we knew we would,
My word is good.
Hey there Blackberry, I have so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote for you would take your breath away,
I'd write it all…
Even more in love with me you'd fall,
We'd have it all.
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
A thousand miles seems pretty long,
But I swear to you within this song
I'd hop to you every Frith given day…
Blackberry I can promise you that by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same…
And you're to blame!
Hey there Blackberry, you be good and don't you miss me,
A few more tears will fall from off my face and then I'll make history
Like I do…
You know it's all because of you…
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Blackberry, here's to you,
This one's for you…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me…
Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me,
Oooh, ooooh,
Oohoooooohoooohoooo-oo-oo,
Oohoooooohoooohoooo-oo-oo,
Ooohoohoo-oo-oo
Ooohoohoo-oo-oo
Ooooooooooooooooohhh"
And the rain stopped.
Fiver looked up having found he had fallen, after that extremely long vision, into Hazel. The whole warren was clapping, and a lot of the does were in tears, but all attention was on Blackberry, who was smiling, crying.
"What happened?" Fiver asked Hazel, who had a grin on his face as well.
"Nothing. Just a message for Blackberry."
Fiver wrinkled his nose and let out an exasperated sigh. "I hate being used!"

Both- (Take a bow)
Phoebe- Thank you! Thank you so much, really you're too kind.
Tabbatha- Umm… no one's clapping…
Phoebe-… Oh.
Tabbatha- Well, this was just a random idea we had
Phoebe- Like all of our other ideas,
Tabbatha- But, it took us two days to write these lyrics!
Phoebe- And we're currently writing a second chapter!
Tabbatha- So stay tuned!
Phoebe- And if you have an idea of a song that you think we can rabbit-ify, we'd love suggestions! ;)
