AN: so this is just something I had in my head and it was hilarious. I had a teeny bit of help from Moonling Child. It takes place in book eh when Will and Evanlyn are on Skorghill. The song used is from Tangled. I don't own it or RA.
They had been at sea for a week and they had finally reached Skorghill. The little island for passing seafarers. Will and Evanlyn were nervous about what would happen to them. The Skandians were very intimidating. Big, burly and always carried an axe with them. Also they all had nicknames. Like Killer and Fang
"Will, what do we do?" Evanlyn asked nervously as they were left alone in their little lean-too next to the shack on Skorghill.
"We do as we're told I guess. And hope and pray that they don't kill us." Will answered.
Just then the door to the lean-too opened up and Erak, the ships captain was at the door.
"Come on, we need you two in the dining room. Another ship has just come and we need servers." He explained. Will and Evanlyn followed him into the shack which wasn't really a shack. It was a large dinning hall with a kitchen to the side. When Will and Evanlyn entered, they saw about 2 dozen or more Skandian raiders.
Evanlyn quivered and Will was scared. With so many raiders around, they would get drunk. 'Hopefully they won't break into song. That would be torture' Will thought to himself.
Erak ordered the two to serve the ale and meat. They did so for about two hours. Just as Will had predicted, they were drunk after that time. Will and Evanlyn decided to break for a quick minute and chat a bit.
"So what do you want to do when you're older?" Will asked Evanlyn.
"Well, I don't know. I guess I would really like to work in Castle Araluen. It had been my lifelong dream."
Unexpectedly, the captain of the other ship had been listening to them and said,
"I had a dream once." And he threw his axe against the wall and it stuck there. Then he started to sing.
"I'm malicious mean and scary.
My sneer could curdle dairy.
And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest.
But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook,"
he gestured to his hook on his right arm,
"I've always yearned to be a concert pianist." He went up to the piano and started playing a tune to his song.
"Can't you see me on the stage performing Mozart,
tickling the ivories 'til they gleam.
Yes I'd rather be called deadly,
For my killer show-tune medley,"
He played a scale on the piano,
"Thank you!
Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream."
Then the entire company started singing. It was a scary sight.
"He's got a dream!
He's got a dream!"
Then the hook man went into solo again,
"See I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem!
Though I do like breaking femurs,
You can count me with the dreamers,
Like everybody else I've got a dream."
Then a really ugly thug with an over large nose stood up and sang.
"I've got scars and lumps and bruises,
Plus something here that oozes,"
He pointed to his underarm,
"And let's not even mention my complexion.
But despite my extra toes
and my goiter and my nose,
I really want to make a love connection."
He crawled into a barrel and pretended it was a boat,
"Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowin' in a rowboat down the stream?
Though I'm one disgusting blighter
I'm a lover, not a fighter -
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
I've got a dream!"
Erak, who was also drunk, grabbed Will and threw him into the crowd of singing Skandians. They all had fun shoving him around to different solos.
"He's got a dream,
He's got a dream!" Chorused the whole room.
"And I know one day romance will reign supreme!
Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it, dreaming -
Like everybody else
I've got a dream" sang the thug with the large nose as he thrust Will to another thug.
"Tor would like to quit and be a florist" Will was shoved to another thug.
"Gunther does interior design"
"Ulf is into mime"
"Attila's cupcakes are sublime"
"Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Fang does little puppet shows"
The hook man sang again, "And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns!"
A very large Skandian took out his unicorn.
Then they all turned on Will.
"What about you?" Asked the hook man.
"Me?" Questioned Will.
"What's your dream?" Asked big nosed man.
"I don't know." He answered timidly.
"Well, you'd better think fast cause its your turn." They threw him up onto a table.
Will decided to be funny cause they're all drunk.
"I have dreams, like you - no, really!
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere
warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tanned and rested and alone"
They grabbed him off the table and Will thought 'something that they'll love'
"Surrounded by enormous piles of money"
Evanlyn had been watching in shock then tried to suppress her laughter. Them she decided to join Will. But she made up her dream.
"I've got a dream!"
"She's got a dream!" They chorused
"I've got a dream!"
"She's got a dream!"
"I just want to see the floating
lanterns gleam!" Evanlyn sang as she hopped up onto a table.
"Yeahh!" The thugs yelled.
"And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower -" not true but they don't know that,
"Like all you lovely folks" not true either "I've got a dream!"
They alternated singing. "She's got a dream!"
"He's got a dream!"
"They've got a dream!"
"We've got a dream!"
"So our diff 'rences ain't
really that extreme!"
All together "We're one big team...!"
"Call us brutal -"
"Sick -"
"Sadistic -"
"And grotesquely optimistic"
The thugs all chorused "'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!"
"I've got a dream!" Hook man shouted
"I've got a dream!" Big nosed man shouted.
The thugs chorused
"I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!"
"I've got a dream!" Evanlyn and Will sang
They all chorused together
"Yes way down deep
inside, I've got a dream!
Yeahh!"
Will and Evanlyn were smiling and laughing until one of the Skandians said,
"What are you two still doing here? Get out!" He shouted.
Will and Evanlyn made themselves scarce and went to the lean-too. When they were there, they burst out laughing. Who would have known that Skandians could be so vocal.
AN: it will continue and it will include Halt. Please R&R.
