An Alligator's Love Song

Chapter 2 Blooming Friendship.

Melody had gotten out, holding some food for her and King Gator.
She went to the docks again. Hoping to meet King Gator again.
The girl then heard the same splashes that the alligator king made last time.

She looked down and saw him.
"Gator! I got food for both of us!" She called out, as Gator went out of the waters onto the dryland.
King Gator licked his lips happily.

Melody gave him a couple Lamb chops.
And she ate a slice of bread.
The girl noticed the alligator's eating habits, as he was chewing loudly.

Of course, Alligators are wild.
Gator then burped, kind of rude for a king.
King Gator smiled at her.

"I was thinking, how about going to my place?" Gator asked.
Melody thought, she didn't want the Orphanage to be worried about her.
The alligator king nuzzled her.

"Don't worry, I'll drop you off here after our practices." he told her.
His big pink lipped grin showing that he means it.
Melody petted his jaw, and nodded.

Gator went on his four feet.
"Hop onto my back." He said happily.
Melody got onto his back.

King Gator went into the waters, leaving his backside in the open air for Melody to be dry.
There wasn't much to see in the swamp.
So Gator decided to talk to her.

"I was wondering, why are you at the Orphanage?" he asked.
The tone deaf girl was surprised.
"Well, my parents died when I was five years old, and I had nowhere else to go." she said sadly.

Gator felt sorry for her.
"Don't you have any other relatives?" he asked.
"Sorry, my mom and dad were the only children of my grandparents who are also dead." she said.

King Gator thought for a second.
"Don't Worry Melody, they will find the right parents for you." He told her.
The tone deaf girl smiled.

A little while later, they were at the entrance of King Gator's place.
Kind of sewage-y
"Melody, I would like you to close your eyes for a bit." The alligator said.

Melody did what she was told, and closed her eyes.
She heard some doors opening.
Melody couldn't get over the excitement.

"You can open your eyes now." Gator told her.
The Tone Deaf girl opened her eyes to see something.
It was a big bright place, mostly pink and purplish blue.

It looked kinda flamboyant for the alligator king.
And in the middle was a giant oyster with some sort of crystal ball.
The alligator king went to the oyster. Dropping Melody off first.

The floor was kind of bouncy.
Then, King Gator got on it, making it even bouncier.
"You know what I sang yesterday?" Gator asked.

Melody wondered why he said that.
"Not really, but we sang Let's make music together, let's make sweet harmony." she told him.
She then noticed a slight sadness in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked.
King Gator looked down at his new friend.
"I sang it with a friend, At first I was going to eat him, but his voice was so beautiful." He told her.

"What happened to him?" She asked. He probably ate him.
"After I chased another dog that bullied Charlie and another human, I ate the dog that bullied him." He told her.

"I went to find Charlie, but I couldn't find him. But the bully was delicious." He told her.
Melody went to the fat alligator king, and sat next to him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's all right." Melody told the alligator king.

"Now, how about you give me a singing lesson?" she asked him.
King gator gave a smile.
"Of course, after that. I have a gift for you." He told her.

King Gator lifted her up, and put her onto the crystal ball.
"Melody, why don't we sing our low notes first as you sing along with me." He said, as he winked at her.
Melody nodded. And looked on as Gator went a couple of steps back.

And he started dancing around Melody.

King Gator "Let's make music together.
Let's make sweet harmony."

Melody then joined in with him.
Getting off of the crystal ball, and danced with him.

Both: Let's make music together, Baby.

King Gator: You take the do

Melody: You take the re.

King Gator: You better Hang onto me.

Gator then held his claw out to Melody, who took his claw to dance together.

Melody: We are birds of a feather.
Looking for the right key.

King Gator: Oh, let's make music together baby.
Cause only music makes a person free.

Both: Gonna make a beautiful song.
Sing along

King Gator: Gonna let that natural beat,
Move your feet.

Both: When the music is deep down
There's nothing you can do.

King gator: But believe, oh believe.

King Gator swung Melody while he held her.
He looked into her eyes, her small voice, almost alongside him.
Gator went into the water, back first, and Melody went onto his belly to ride.

Both: There is nothing like singing.
And our voices just blend.
Oh, Let's make music together.

Lift our voices together, partner.
Let's make musc forever, baby.
And we'll always be friends.
Let's make music together.
Le't make sweet harmony.

And they sang until they got to the place where King Gator slept.
Melody knew how to sing low now.
She then got off of King gator's belly, seeing his resting place.

The bed was mostly straw.
And about three rocks.
One rock had his tin can crown.

The second rock was bare, probably for his light blue swimming cap he had on his head right now.
And the third rock?
It held a necklace with the middle of a flower made out of seashells.

King Gator went next to her.
"I made after I met you, A present of our friendship." He told her.
Melody saw how beautiful it was.

The alligator king then got the necklace out of the rock, and gave it to her.
She grabbed the necklace out his hands, and and around her neck.
Melody really liked it. And hugged him.

"Thanks gator." She told her new reptilian friend.
King Gator nuzzled her.
"Your welcome my friend." He said, he felt that urge again.

Did this mean his ever growing love for her?
But he didn't know that she got onto his back.
"Oh, you want to go to your place? I forgot." he said.

Melody nodded her head.
And they got onto the water back to the orphanage.
The two of them got onto the dryland.

"See you tomorrow." Gator said. Holding his claw to shake.
Melody shook his claw, and kissed his cheek.
"See you tomorrow King Gator." she said, as the sun was setting.

She ran to the orphanage again.
King Gator wanted to follow her.
But he didn't want Melody's friends and guardians to be scared.

"I think I love her..." He told himself.
