Chapter 7: Family ties

"so what happens next?" asked Will

"I say...let's just try to wait. I need this time..." said Matt

Jon aged up to the same age as the rest of the kids.

"where the fuck am I?" he asked

"He said his first coherient sentence! and swear! YAAY!" yelled Rachel

"did he just ask where the fuck he is?" asked Matt

"I think so." said Hayley

Suddenly there was a scream.

6 small bodies ran down what has left of the steps.

They had been rescued by the chipmunks.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" yelled Rachel

The chipmunks entered.

"hey man!" Alvin yelled

"hey Al! how's Harry and Kim and Randolf and Doris since the race in the future?" asked Matt

"good. they said it was good that the Goverment gave us all each a billion per year." said Brittney

"My friend the author hasn't done the end of it yet- so SHUT UP!" said Matt

"hey look! Jon! my god! you're a spitting image of Larson." said Simon

"we revived him as we revived Quinn." said Emma

"Matt-your son looks like me; and that's the damn truth" said a voice

Suddenly- Jon Larson entered.

"oh my god." said Will

"Matt- meet Jon larson. The man who you soon will bring back from the dead.." said Raymer

"hello." said Matt

"you're stuck here?" he asked

Matt smiled.

Rachel hugged Matt.

"are they a thing?" asked Jon

"let them express the words that you wrote the express it:" said Matt

"We'll never be that desperate." said Quinn

"You'll never have to be!" said Emma

"I've been hearing violins all night!" said Quinn

"Anything to do with me? Are we a thing?" asked Emma

"Darling... we're everything!" said Quinn

Jon took out his guitar and began to play.

QUINN

Live in my house,
I'll be your shelter,
Just pay me back
WIth one thousand kisses
Be my lover
and I'll cover you

Open your door,
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you

BOTH
I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love, on life
Be my life

Just slip me on,
I'll be your blanket
Wherever,whatever, I'll be your coat

QUINN
You'll be my King, and I'll be your castle

EMMA
No, you'll be my Queen, and I'll be your moat

BOTH
I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love, on life
All my life

I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is

COLLINS
So with a thousand sweet kisses,I'll cover you
, With a thousand sweet kisses,I'll cover you,
When you're worn out and
tired,When your heart has expired

ANGEL (At the same time as COLLINS)
If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you

BOTH
Oh, lover,
I'll cover you,
Yeah,
Oh, lover,
I'll cover you...

Jon stood up and clapped.

"Matt- I hear you can do a pretty good open road." said Jon

"yes sir. you want to hear it?" asked Matt

"get it on man!"

MATT

Open road....
Why does love erode?
Get away- you can't stay away!
Look away from the mirror now-
look straight out ahead, that's how.
But how can you let her go?
Let her go....
No, you can't her can't save the world-
better save your heart.
Start to close the door.... look for open road.
Open road....
Why can't I crack love's code?
Time to fly.... no time to say goodbye.
Goodbye!
Just try to forget her face-
just get yourself in the race.
There's a place that you have to go, have to go.
No, you can't heal their pain-
better heal your heart.
Start your motor up, take up open road.
There's a hit and run cat on the highway.
Another cat sits saying a prayer.
I swear as I pass she's glaring my way.
Where did my love go, cry her eyes!
Where did my love go?

Where did my love go?
No, you can't forget her eyes,
but still protect your heart.
As you start for home- breathe it in and slow.
You don't have to go if your heart is open....
your heart is open.... your heart is open road!

"anyway to get out of here?" asked Jon

"we could try to sing!" said Matt

"seasons. then finale B." said Matt; Rachel and John at the same time

ALL

525,600 minutes.
525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes- how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes- how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
Seasons of love.

MATT
525,600 minutes!
525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

RACHEL
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried?
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died?

Company:
It's time now to sing out, although it's not the end.
To celebrate, remember a year in the life of a friend.
Remember the love! Remember the love! Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love!
Seasons of love.

"HELL; this ain't working. throwing orgie inducing your eyes." said Matt

"ARE YOU SURE?" asked JON

"I'd do anything to get out." said Matt

Your Eyes
As We Said Our Goodbyes
Can't Get Them Out Of My Mind
And I Find I Can't Hide (From)
Your Eyes
The Ones That Took Me By Surprise
The Night You Came Into My Life
Where There's Moonlight
I See Your Eyes

How'd I Let You Slip Away
When I'm Longing So To Hold You
Now I'd Die For One More Day
'Cause There's Something I Should
Have Told You
Yes There's Something I Should Have
Told You

When I Looked Into Your Eyes
Why Does Distance Make Us Wise?
You Were The Song All Along
And Before The Song Dies

I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I Have Always Loved You
You Can See It In My Eyes

There is no future
There is no past

ROGER
Thank God this
Moment's no the last

MIMI & ROGER
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or
Life is yours to miss

ALL
No other road no other way
No day but today

WOMEN
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal

MEN
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare

WOMEN
Is just to be
Without
You
The hand gropes
The ear hers
The pulse beats
Life goes on
But I'm gone

MEN
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way

WOMEN
'Cause I die
Without you
I die without you
I die without you
I die without you
I die without you
I die without you

MEN
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

ALL
NO DAY BUT TODAY!!

Suddenly there was a white light...
