Could We Start Again Please?

by ChildrenOfTheBarricades

Songfic. Ralph's thoughts after Simon's murder and before they go to get Piggy's specs from Jack. Set to Could We Start Again Please? from Jesus Christ Superstar. Hopefully not as bad as it sounds. Please R&R but con-crit only.

I've been living to see you,

Simon? Oh, Simon.

Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this.

What have we done?

This was unexpected. What do I do now?

I'm so sorry Simon.

Could we start again, please?

It was so dark and...we were so scared! Oh God!

I've been very hopeful so far.

All we wanted was to get rescued.

Now, for the first time, I think we're going wrong.

Now we can't start a fire. Not since Jack stole Piggy's specs.

Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream,

I can't do this anymore. I don't want to play this game anymore.

Or could we start again, please?

I wish we were back in England. I wish we never came to this hell!

I think you've made your point now.

You screamed something. Before we stabbed you. Something about a dead man. Was that why you came to the feast so late?

You've even gone a bit too far to get you're message home.

Before, when we were still together, you said maybe the Beast was only us. I think I understand what you meant now. Why did I understand so late? Why did we have to trade your life for it?

Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt;

We have to get rescued. Me, Piggy and Sam'n'Eric will go to Jack and ask for the specs back. He'll understand then, too. We got to get off this island before anyone else...dies.

So could we start again, please?

Oh God, I want to go home! Or at least go back.

So could we start again, please?

Back to before you were killed.

So could we start again, please?

Back to before it all went wrong.

So could we start again, please?

Back to the beginning.

So could we start again?

So...could we start again...please?
