PLEASE READ THIS: Alright the play I am using for this Maximum Ride Musical is Aida. It is an amazing not really well known show that is like a Romeo and Juliet of another time. The music kicks ass too. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE PLAY IS ABOUT TO READ THIS, however if you do not know the ending to the play and intend to see it then don't read this. I think that the music fits in perfect with the story I am writing so here it is the first large scale Maximum Ride musical!)
(A/N/Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the play, which inspired this story or the Maximum Ride books. This is the first musical/MR hybrid that I have heard of so I want to know how you people like it. And if you know of any other musical crossovers then please tell me so I can edit this little note. Also, the underlined parts are the lyrics to the actual song, the italics are the narrator talking and the combo is the lyrics I have personally mutilated. Enjoy!)
There were once two lovers whom, had they lived normal lives would never have met.
Every story, tale or
memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether
planned or happenstance
Warring companies and fate threw them together.
Whether sweeping
through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief
recital
Just a thirty-minute ride
There story is one
of tragedy and tears
Whether bright or
melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand
players
Or a lonely cast of one
One of bright hope that shone on through the ages
Every story, new
or ancient Of
lovers no tyranny could separate The School
saw their mighty creatures as its very heart and soul
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human
failing
All are tales of love at heart
This is
the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate
Love set into motion on the
rapid's shore
Destiny ignited by an act of war
Source of
life for all the people
That only The School could
control
Destruction of their creatures justified
The children
were exploited, left with little more than pride
