Two for the road
By Allicat
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlock or Bindi, and I didn't write the songs they sing. The first is My Cherie Amour, by Stevie Wonder, and the second is "Stepsisters' Lament" by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
"La la la la la la, La la la la la la
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine"
"Merlock! Are going to do this all day? This is the third time you've started this song!"
"And I'm going to keep restarting until I get it right. Which means no interruptions."
Bindi sighed. Merlock has recording a holodisk for Sara Goodman. How she hated that girl! If only she could have Merlock for herself....
"Well?"
"I heard you!" ("Oooo, he makes me so mad sometimes!") "I'll just go somewhere else!" Bindi didn't hide the ice in her voice as she left the room.
("Bindi, what am I going to do with you? Oh well, second verse...")
"In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la "
(I don't even know what he sees in that girl! I'm much more interesting, and beautiful, and talented, and wonderful, with more personality, goodness, sweetness...)
Why would a fella want a girl like her?
A frail and fluffy beauty?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?
She's a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm!
Oh! Oh!
Why would a fella want a girl like her?
So plain and very usual?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
Unusual girls like me?
With Sara in his mind, Merlock sang with all his heart, hoping that one day he would finally capture hers.
"Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la"
Hearing the final strains of his song, Bindi got ready to go back, until she remembered that she was mad at him. ("It's all that girl's fault! What does she have that I don't?")
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
But not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft
But not any softer than a doe's is
Her neck is no whiter than a swan's
She's only as dainty as a daisy
She's only as graceful as a bird
So why is the fella going crazy?!?
Oh, why would a fella want a girl like her?
A girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
A girl who's merely me!
Merlock interrupted her thoughts. "Bindi! I'm going to the post office. Don't get in any trouble while I'm gone."
"Trouble? Trouble! What do you think I do?" But Merlock didn't answer. He was already gone.
("Off mailing his holodisk to his love. Why can't I be his love? Then he wouldn't have to leave.... I'll get that girl out of his head forever! One of these days.....")
She's a frothy little bubble
With a frilly sort of air
And with very little trouble
I could pull out all her hair!
Oh! Oh!
Why would a fella want a girl like her?
A girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
A girl who's mainly me!
What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man!

Sorry if this seemed a little confusing, but it just seemed the best way to capture the story I saw. My first successful songfic ^_^ I'm so proud! As always, read and review.
