i don't own nothing! except for the arrangement of ideas :)
All songs used are tweaked a little to fit the story
(1889)
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children playing on the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach
There's Veronica;
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip.
And there's Dade;
Radiating with joy,
And luckily he still can't stand the sight of a girl.
And lastly there's Vada;
Her hair dances in the wind,
And she's wondering what love is,
And why it has to end.
And she can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.
Her mother whispers quietly;
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment.
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now.
(1891)
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children growing on the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach
There's Veronica;
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss.
And there's Dade;
He can't admit his jealousy
Of his best friend Flit and how everyone loves him.(and how they all love him)
And lastly there's Vada;
Still sitting on her rock,
Ponders her life, and she skips her rocks.
And she wonders when her father will return,
But he's not coming back.
And she can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.
Her mother whispers quietly;
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die,
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive,
So live for the moment.
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard.
(1893)
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children missing from the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach.
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of thirteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father.
And she didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean.
Now all her advice, it seems useless.
No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you touch her and feel alive.
So live for the moment.
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love's completely real,
So forget anything that you have heard,
And live for the moment now.
The sound of everything ripping out from the ground is starting to grow faint, every sound for that matter too...Dade's screams to just hear my voice, I can hear Veronica calling out to Dade with panic in her voice...what is she saying? Grab on to the board? What board, how...I so badly wanted to know what game we were going to play now but no words would come out. I'm starting to feel wet and cold...am I in the water? But I was only playing in the shallows with Vera and Dade...Mama didn't like it when we would go into the water without her or Papi watching us...but that was before I guess. I opened my eyes only to see rippling waves all around me and our big house with it's black sand beach about the size of a quarter. How am I supposed to get back...I never learned how to swim...Papi never taught me and Mama doesn't know herself...how do I get back...what do I do now?!!?
"VADA!!!!!! VADA ANSWER MEE!! VAAAAAAADAAA!!!!!????!?!?!?!" I can hear Dade, and Veronica's faint cries.
"Daaade, I promise I didn't mean to go in by myself!" I yelled back to the grey swirling sky above me, while I heard Veronica screaming, "VADA!! SWIM THIS WAY HURRY BEFORE WE LOSE YOU AGAIN!!!
"But I can't swim...pa...papi" at this point I started to bawl, I can't swim and I can't see my sibilings anywhere...I can't see anything, it's all going black and it feels as if my heart is about to beat through my skin and my stomach come up through my mouth. In almost an instant somebody grabbed my little white flowered sand stained dress and held onto me tight while they tried so hard to swim.
"Busy, hold on...I've got you," with only the first word I knew it was Dade, only a few call me that...him and papi. "Veronica. Grab Busy. QUICK!" He was yelling something else too between mouthfulls of water but I couldn't hear him. Veronica lifted me up onto whatever she was floating on along with Dade.
I tried so hard to open my eyes, "Vada what are you looking at?" Veronica asked me sounding worried, but less than when we were all split up. Why won't they open? Vera I'm not looking at anything, my eyes...they won't open. Her voice started to grow faint, and Dade's 10 louder...what is happening? I managed to get three words out of my mouth with the last little bit of energy I had left, "Everything is black..." and with that I started to fall asleep.
"Manual Alexandre, where have you been this time? Hmm!? A "business meeting", "sale at the marketplace", or maybe some eldery lady needed your help "carrying her food home"?" Papi's head dropped and his eyes wandered to ground over to me.
"Oh, Vada...uh...is this your rock baby?" Mama's smile looked fake, like Vera whenever Papi sent me and Dade outside with her to play on the beach. "Give me a second Gabriella, let me take our daughter's rock to the beach"
I ran about 50 metres across our big patch of propert down the hill to our own piece of paradise...the black sand beach.
"Papi, put it right here. So it's just a little in the water for the fairies to get water...oh oh oh, and underneath the tree shade so they don't get hot too!"
