Speak Now Songfic
I'm not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in On a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
Daphne Blake sat quietly at her kitchen table, picking at a bowl of salad. She knew exactly what was going on, but she didn't know what she was going to do about it. Yet. Finally getting enought courage, she put on her finest purple dress. She wouldn't let this happen.
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family All dressed in pastels
Daphne poked her head into the chapel door, Seeing Shaggy and some of Freddie's football friends standing in a group. Shaggy shot her a grin and she returned it, then snuck around the corner so soon-to-be-Mrs. Fred Jones', Missy, horrible sisters wouldn't spot her.
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Daphne flinched when Missy's high pitched squawk pierced the eardrums of everybody within a ten-mile radius. Daphne giggled. Maybe she wouldn't have to do anything after all.
This is surely not What you thought it would be
I can see you now, Fred Jones. You look worried. I would be, too! Just hang in there a bit longer, I'll think of something to do. Velma and your sister are wearing those horrible bridesmaids dresses, with pitying looks on their faces. Wait, why was Velma invited and not me?
And I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say;
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out When they said "speak now"
Hmm, if only it were that simple. I'd probably get pelted with tomatoes. Maybe as plan B...
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play A song that sounds like a death march
I see your family come into the church. They chat politely with Missy's family, but I can see through their masks. They don't like her. Nobody does. She's snotty and is just marrying you for popularity.
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited By your lovely bride-to-be
Why wasn't I invited, again? This makes no sense. Was I too blunt with the whole, 'I Hate Her' thing? Sorry. I felt the need to point out the obvious, though. At least she got the point.
She floats down the aisle Like a pageant queen.
But I know you wish it was me You wish it was me (Don't cha?)
Haha, I can see the pained expression on your face as she makes her way towards you. You shoot a glance at Shaggy and Velma and I know what you're thinking. You can't hide your feelings from me, Fred Jones. I know you better than anyone, and I'm here to help.
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door
You can still back out. Just run away. Don't leave it up to me. Oh, god. You're actually going to go through with this? Wimp.
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out When they said "speak now"
Okay, Freddie. You've driven me to do something drastic. Just hear me out, and keep Missy away from me. I'll fix this.
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out When they said, "speak now"
Oh Oh Oh! ( said speak now... )
I hear the preacher say "Speak now or forever ho-old your pea-ea-ea-eace
There's the silence,
there's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me
Oh god. This is it. I have to say something. Everybody is staring at me. Wow, my hands are shaking so bad. Velma and Shaggy look encouraging. I can do this.
Horrified looks from
Everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you.
Look at me, Freddie. Just keep your gaze steady, and I can do this. Ignore everybody else, just look at me.
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in On a white veil occasion
But you are NOT the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl!
I finish my speach with dignity and a bit of spite. I did it. I stood up to her. Wow. Okay. Now I feel... liberated.
( Ha! )
So don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door
You're smiling. You're walking over here. You're hugging me. Yes! I did it!
"Thank You... so much, Daphne." Your steel blue eyes pierce mine and mockingly I say, "Hey, it wasn't just for you."
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out When they, said, "speak, now"
Now Missy's throwing a tantrum. What a pity. That was a nice dress, after all. Now all of Mystery Inc is in a group hug. Shaggy and Velma are exchanging high-fives, why couldn't they have told us earlier?
And you Say Let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door
And Mr. and Mrs. Jones have joined the hug. Perfect. This is what that horrid girl gets for being such a B-... rat. A brat. Oh, crap. Here she comes. "You self centered bitch!" she spits at me. Well, at least we know which one of is has more class. "Leave her alone, Marissa Herring," Fred comes to my defense. Yes, Herring. Oh, Fred. What a situation you've gotten yourself into this time.
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around when they said "Speak Now".
Fred kicks the chapel door open and carrries me -pardon the pun- bride style to the mystery machine parked out back. Velma and Shaggy are trotting behind us as Scooby pulls the van doors open from the inside. "What's going on?" I ask confusedly. "We just got a call from Mrs. Miller from down the road. It looks like we've got another mystery on our hands." Freddie answers excitedly. Man, I love these guys.
