Chapter 3
In a wooded glen not far away, some wandering minstrels have set up camp. Wes, Nick and Jeff were watching Blaine do his act with his Puppet Quinto.
Quinto: "Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Now, hear this all you good people. I am Quinto, the Magnificent, Quinto, the Stupendous, Quinto, the Colossal!"
Blaine: "Just a moment. Aren't you supposed to introduce me first."
Quinto: "Who let this over-vocal yokel in?"
Blaine: "I like that. If it weren't for me, you'd be dumb!"
Quinto: "If you do the talking for both of us, i'll be even dumber!"
Wes and Jeff both laughed.
Quinto: "However, this oaf to my left is Blaine, folks, my fourth Warbler."
Blaine: "I beg your pardon. You're our fifth Warbler. Hence your name, Quinto."
Quinto: "I knew he was sulking about the billing. These amateurs! They'll do it everytime. Unhand me, varlet. Unhand me! I abdicate!
Blaine suddenly then threw the puppet towards Jeff and he caught it. Then they all started applauding. Blaine picked up his cape and bowed "Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you." he said. "And now, in response to flattering and overwhelming requests, I shall attempt a feat of horticultural legerdemain, so complicated that it has never, as of this moment, been successfully accomplished."
Wes and Jeff look at each other as both of them were very curious as to what Blaine was about to do.
"Observe! There is nothing concealed beneath my cloak, no sleeves, trap doors, mirrors, springs or wires." he said.
Next to him is a small table with a pot plant on it and the plant has sticks on it but no flowers.
He picks it up and holds it out at arms length.
"Now, I hold before you this lifeless, withered twig, which I shall now bring back into full blossom, right before your very eyes." Wes and Jeff lean in closer. "Watch me closely, now gentleman."
Blaine then throws his cloak over the pot concealing it from view. "Aye, aye …Allesabai!" he then spins around and after doing a complete 360 degrees he takes the cloak off the pot and it is now in full bloom. "Presto!" The three warblers applaud him.
Wes then walks over to Blaine. "You are great and better than we ever were." he said patting Blaine on the shoulder. "Nah, I'm not that good." said Blaine trying to be modest. Jeff then approaches the two "yeah, but he cheats. He's got brains!" he says.
Blaine then wraps his arm around Jeff as a sing of thanks. Nick is packing up the wagon when he decides to join in the conversation. "He's got more than that. He's got style."
"Yes, and that's what's been worrying me. You know, you're to good for our group." said Wes.
"What are you talking about? You're the best friends I have in this world." said Blaine.
"Just the same, you have class and we don't. What you need now is to study with the big-timers, the aristocrats." said Wes.
Blaine then puts both of his arms one around Wes and one around Jeff. "I don't need to learn anything that you three can't teach me." he says. Nick then stops packing the wagon and walks over to the trio. "No. Like Wes says, we're nobodies."
"Not to me." said Blaine.
"Of course we are! Look at all the times we go hungry." said Wes.
"And the times we've been incarcerated, in durance vile!" said Jeff.
"Not to mention being thrown in the clink!" said Nick.
Wes then hits Nick on the arm "Ignoramus! He just got through saying that!" he said pointing to Jeff.
Wes then turns back to Blaine. "Please don't misunderstand us, Blaine. We don't want to lose you, but we never told you the real story of how we found you." he said.
Blaine looks at Wes with concern "Why not? Is it something to be ashamed of? Wes puts in his hands up in defense "No, no!" he said. Nick then jumps in "We just never seemed to get around to it." he said.
"But there's no time like the present. Come over here, Blaine. I wanna talk to you."
The trio lead Blaine over to their luggage. "Sit down." Wes says to Blaine and they all sit down on a chest.
Wes then begins to tell Blaine they story. "It happened about 14 years ago in Lima." he began then Nick continued. "They were celebrating the betrothal of Prince Kurt Hummel to Prince Charming, of" he stopped he couldn't remember the name of the other Kingdom. "Westerville!" said Wes interrupting Nick's train of thought.
Jeff then picked up the story "Not a real marriage, you understand. Kurt was only three and Charming was only five. But that's the way they do it in royal circles." he said. Then Wes picked it up again "That's why we were appearing in the town. We could just as well stayed home."
"Yeah" whispered Jeff quietly. "But we couldn't pass up a performance could you boys." Wes said to both Nick and Jeff and they all laughed.
(Flashback)
We open in a town square villages had stopped work to watch the three Warblers perform. We see nick standing on a stage and singing and Wes and Jeff swaying in the background.
(Nick)
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
(Jeff)
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
(Nick)
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
(Wes)
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
(Nick)
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
When they finish their performance Wes steps forward. "Thank you, good people, one and all. At you pleasure, sir." he says to Nick. "Your servant, Maestro." he replied and went into the wagon. "Good people come back tomorrow for another performance." he said to the crowd. The villages part their ways and the trio depart for their way home for the day.
About halfway home they were passing a river suddenly something catches Wes's eye.
A big burly man was holding a little boy in his arms, the little boy was struggling against his hold to try and escape he bit the man's arm and it worked. "Ah!" he screamed "bite me, would you?" he then threw the poor child on the ground. "I'll fix you!" he then took out a small dagger from his belt.
"Quick we have to help him." said Wes. The trio quickly rushed to his aid and jumped on the burly man. As the trio fought against him the little boy got and a ran to safety.
Suddenly Nick got pushed with such force he fell to the ground. As he was about to get up he turned his head to the side and saw the little boy lying face down on a big rock.
Wes and Jeff were holding onto the man on both sides of his arms and were coming dangerously close to the rivers edge. Suddenly all three fell into the river.
The man then went over to Jeff and put his head under the water. Wes quickly punch him on the head with his fist but didn't do a lot of damage. When Jeff lifted his head out of the water he saw the man do the same thing to Wes.
So with Jeff's quick thinking he grabbed the nearest log and hit him hard on the head knocking him unconscious. Then they quickly got out of the water to find Nick. "Hey look!" Wes yelled. They saw Nick with the little boy in his arms he waves Wes and Jeff over.
They ran over to him "What happened? Is he dead?" said Wes. "No, he's alive, but look at that lump on his head." said Nick. "He must've tripped and hit it on that rock." said Jeff.
"we'd better get him away from here quick. Give me a hand." said Wes. The trio carefully picked up the boy "take it easy, Nick. Easy." Wes said. "Okay, okay." said Nick.
Nick then handed the little boy over to Wes and Jeff. Nick then picked up a log went to the waters edge when the man was just as he coming out of the water. He then hit him on the head getting knocked on the head for the second time.
As night fell they were a safe distance away from the town. The three stayed by the little boys side with Wes tending to the bump on his head. "He's been unconscious an awful long while. I'm worried." said Jeff. "He's gonna be alright aren't you sonny?" asked Wes.
Slowly the little boy was stiring "Look! He's opening his eyes." said Nick. The boy gasped thinking he was still in danger. "Don't let our faces scare you, sonny. We're your friends." said Wes.
He raised his hand towards his head but Jeff stopped him. "What happened." he said. "You hurt your head." said Jeff "On a rock." said Nick.
"Tell us where you live, sonny. We'll take you home." said Wes but the boy didn't say anything "You wanna go home, don't you." asked Jeff. "I...I don't know." he said. "Tell us your name, old -timer. What's your name?" asked Wes. "I don't know."
"Who was that big man trying to hurt you?" he asked.
"Man?" he said confused.
"Never mind. It's not important. You just rest. We'll look out for you." said Wes.
"Till you remember who you are." said Jeff.
The boy sighed and closed his eyes "We are pleased." he said as he drifted off to sleep. "We?" said Nick. "Poor kid's so confused, he thinks there's more than one of him."
(End of flashback)
"You'd lost your memory, you see" said Nick addressing Blaine.
"We couldn't leave you there. You were in danger." said Wes.
"We tried to find your family and couldn't." said Jeff.
"So we adopted you." said Wes.
"And you've never given us a moments regret." said Jeff.
"And I don't intend to in the future either." said Blaine as he finally spoke.
"The future, my boy, is what were talking about. Supposing you suddenly remember your real name, who your people are?" said Wes.
Blaine was stunned what if he memory did come back. "Well, suppose I do?" he said.
"But to whom is your first duty? To ''you'', that's whom!" said Jeff. Wes turns around to give him a disagreement frown then turns back to Blaine. "And our first duty is to see that you take your rightful place in the world." he said.
"I'm sorry, various and assorted fathers, but you won't get rid of me that easily even if I turn out to be the Emperor of China. He then puts both of his arms around Nick and Wes and the three stand up. "So let's stop all this nonsense about me belonging somewhere better. One day I'll prove to you how grateful I am for all you've done for me." he said
The three stood there for a moment then Wes turned to Jeff "What are you doing sitting around for? Get to work." he ordered. Then he turned to Nick "And you, get those bottles filled with water."
As they went to work Blaine just stood there with his hands on his hips. The three Warblers had done so much for him taking care of him and raising him would he ever get his memory back.
