Chapter 3: Embracings

The next morning, Mookie was up in the tree looking at the sky and waiting for the sun to rise. Heather was climbing up the tree to check on Mookie. She said, "Good morning, Mookie. How are you?"

"Doing okay. After last night, I realized that she'll be by my side no matter what." he said.

"So, what did it feel like?" she asked.

"It feels awesome." said Mookie.

"Where you did go last night?" she asked.

"Oh, I wished you could've went with me. I was flying with my mom and I see what heaven would look like. It's was so cool and it really is a better place to go. I can't wait until I see her again. That would be so amazing." said Mookie.

"Well, I really don't know my mom much. She passed away when I was little. It's always me and my dad. We would do things together, but as I grew up, there were a few moments where he would play dead all the time. Talk about total embarassment. He may be a little 'over-the-top', but when he's my dad, I love him, anyway." Heather said.

"Wow, that story was touching. It is good to have memories of your childhood and you can take it all in with you. That's a powerful thought, you know." said Mookie.

"I'm used to it." said Heather.

"I have this song that me and you can dance to and it's in my iPod. Wanna listen?" said Mookie.

Heather nodded her head and that she's looking forward to hearing the song. He attached the iPod on the speakers and pressed the button to play it. Mookie said, "It's been since you guys took me in and I hope we'll be a family forever."

Heather smiled and said, "You will always be a part of our family."

The song plays and both Mookie and Heather were dancing to it like brother and sister.

1, 2, 3, 4

Hey, hey, oh

Hey, hey, oh

It's you and me

Moving at the speed of light into eternity, yeah

Tonight is the night

to join me in the middle of ecstasy

Feel the melody in the rhythm of the music around you

Around you

I'm gonna take you there

I'm gonna take you there

So don't be scared, I'm right here, baby

We can go anywhere, go anywhere

But first, it's your chance, take my hand, come with me

It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night

It's gona be you and me on the dance floor

Cause we've only got one night

Double your pleasure

Double your fun and dance

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever, girl, forever

Forever (ever ever)

Forever (ever ever)

Forever (ever ever)

Forever on the dance floor

Feels like we're on another level

Feels like our love's intertwined

We can be two rebels, breaking the rules

Me and you, You and I

All you gotta do is watch me

Look what I can do with my feet

Baby, feel the beat inside

I'm driving, you can take the front seat

Just need you to trust me

Oh, ah, oh

It's like!

It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night

It's gonna be you and me on the dance floor

Cause we've only got one night

Double your pleasure

Double your fun and dance

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever, girl, forever

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever on the dance floor

It's a long way down

We're so high off the ground

Sending for an angel to bring me your heart

Girl, where did you come from?

Got me so undone

Gazing in your eyes got me singing what a beautiful lady

No "if's," "and's" and "maybe's"

I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing

There's no one else that matters

You love me and I won't let you fall, girl

Let you fall, girl, oh

Ah, ah, ye, yeah

I won't let you fall, let you fall

Let you fall, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

It's like!

It's like I've waited my whole life for this one night

It's gonna be me and you on the dance floor

Cause we've only got one night

Double your pleasure

Double your fun and dance

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever, girl, forever

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever (ever, ever)

Forever on the dance floor

Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah

Yeah

Forever (ever, ever, ever)

Forever ever, ah

After the song ended, Heather said, "That was one of the most awesome songs ever."

"I know. It's awesome, right?" he said.

"We all love having you here, Mookie." she said.

That lightened up Mookie's heart and feels warmth all over him. He looked at Heather's eyes and said, "Thanks, Heather."

She leaned over him and gave him a little hug. She embraced him tightly and he sighed affectionately. Mookie looked at her and walked across the forest and sees the other animals hanging out together.
