Fiona's POV
I've never told Sonic about how I grew up. He knows I've worked at a couple clubs and that I wore many red dresses while standing on street corners. Today I'm going to tell him, I'm going to tell everyone. This is the truth they have to hear. "You alright Fi?" Sonic asked. I nodded as his arms wrapped around me. He gently kissed the top of my head. "We don't expect perfection Fi, just sing for them like you sang for me alright?"
"Yeah...don't be too weirded out by the song I'm gonna sing okay?"
"Fiona I'm still weirded out at the fact you married me of all people..."
"Sonic..."
"You know I'm only kidding, now go show everyone how amazing you are."
"Thanks Sonic..." I told him as I hurried on stage. Surrounded by all of Mobius and a large portion of station square I did a quick intro for myself then cleared my throat and started to sing.
Fiona: I
remember it all very well lookin back
It was the summer I turned
eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts
of new Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say
the least we were hard pressed
Then mama spent every last penny we
had
To buy me a dancin dress
Mama washed and combed and
curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped
into a satin
Dancin dress that had a split on the side clean up to
my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standing back
from the lookin glass
There stood a woman where a half gown kid
had stood
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let
me down
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Mama
dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she kissed my
cheek
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes
When
she started to speak
She looked at a pitiful shack
And then she
looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your pas run off
and I'm real sick
And the baby's gonna starve to death
She
handed me a heart shaped locket that said
To thine own self be
true
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
The tow
of my high heel shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was
talking
Asking mama what do I do
She said just be nice to the
gentlemen fancy
And they'll be nice to you
She said
here's your chance fancy don't let me down
Here's your one
chance fancy don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do,
but if you want out
Well its up to you
Now don't let me down
you better start movin uptown
Well, that was the last time I
saw my ma
The night I left that rickety shack
The welfare
people came and took the baby
Mama died and I ain't been
back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
And for me
there was no way out
And it wasn't very long till I knew
exactly
What my mamas been talking about
I knew what I had
to do but I made myself this solemn vow
That is gonna be a lady
someday
Though I don't know when or how
I couldn't see
spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame you
know
I might have been born just plain white trash
But fancy
was my name
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me
down
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
It
wasn't very long after a benevolent man
Took me off the
street
And one week later I was pouring his tea
In a five room
hotel suite
I charmed a king, a congressman
And an
occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
In an
elegant new York townhouse flat
And I ain't done bad
Now
in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hippocrits
That
would call me bad
And criticize mama for turning me out
No
matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry
bout nothin
For nigh on fifteen years
I can still hear the
desperation in my poor
Mamas voice ringing in my ear
She
said, here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Here's
your one chance fancy don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for
what I do
But if you want out well its up to you
Now don't
let me down
Your mamas gonna help you uptown
I guess she did
I took my bow and hurried off. Tears starting to come to my eyes. Sonic caught me as I nearly fell down the stairs. "Whoa..." He muttered as I buried my face into his chest.
"Sonic..."
"Shhh...I'm here Fi...I'm here." He said holding me tightly. "Let's get you home" I nodded. Clutching Sonic tightly I knew I would never have to worry about poverty again tears trickled down as I realized I had gotten the life my mother should've had. Luck had favored me. Now I gently placed a hand on my stomach and smiled I would never have to worry about my children growing up as I did as long as I had my hero beside me...
The End
There's my attempt at being sad. When I first heard this song I thought about Fiona. Just because she has the darkest path of Sonic's love interests. I mean that if you pay attention to the Comic, her history is not pleasant. Why'd I have her hook up with Sonic? Mostly cuz I like the idea of them together, him helping her move on from the past. It could be because much as I like Sally, Amy and Mina I support Sonfi as my couple of choice. That's just my way of thinking I'm not asking for you to agree. I am however asking for you to review so please do that.
