Word Girl: The Musical
Scene Eight
Word Girl checks the clock; it was almost time to rendezvous with her most dangerous enemies. And their possession was their fellow villain whom she had come to love in less than three days. Maybe she was kidding herself to think she and Tobey could be together in her secret identity form, but as long as he was a villain and an arch-nemesis to her super side, they never could be… She knew he wasn't the traitor they thought him to be, she had feared that sort of thing would happen if that was case of Tobey talking to Word Girl freely. But she was going to tell him the truth before her foes made their move, so chances were she was going to lose him one way or the other.
Word Girl: (Talking to herself as she kept looking around) I do love Tobey… As crazy as that sounds… but he has showed me a whole new side I never thought I would see… The problem is… we have a forbidden love on our hands, and you know how those things work out…(Grabs out a copy of Romeo and Juliet and puts it back) But I'll have to worry about that later. First I have to find out what they're up to and what they're going to do to Tobey… (She flies out of the spaceship, across town, and into the parking lot of the motel. She saw it was dark inside and walked in carefully walking in, calling out) Hello! Anyone here? (She finds the room with the cage, recognizing as the Lexonite cage, but then sees Tobey in there and flies over) Tobey! What are you doing in there?
Tobey: (Whispers) Go back, quick!
Word Girl: Wha-
Doc: (Shouts and comes out of his hiding spot) Now!
Butcher: Pastrami Attack!
Word Girl: Ah! (Getting covered)
Doc: Great work, kid! (Opening the door, Tobey climbs out)
Lady Redundant Woman makes copies and throws Word Girl in.
Mr. Big: Remember this stuff, Word Girl?
Word Girl: Yes, I know very well what this is.
Mr. Big: Care to tell me what potent means? (Locking the same lock as before…)
Word Girl: Potent… it's… (Groans)
Mr. Big: And you already forgot! Yes! It still works.
Granny: Finally, the mighty Word Girl is out of our hair!
Mr. Big: While you're stuck in that cage, I will be able broadcast my mind control from all the products I have ever sold in the Emerald City Mall…
Word Girl: I knew you doing mind control there!
Mr. Big: True, just not right away…
Granny: And I can vouch for him…
Word Girl: Figures, it was about time you two teamed up. What took so long?
Granny: You can laugh it up all you like, but it'll be us who will get the last laugh… And take charge of the entire city! Come, Biggie; let us finish this up.
Mr. Big: Right behind you.
Butcher: This I got to see.
Doc: Me too. (The four of them leave)
LRW: Of course, typical, as usual that I would be the one to guard the prisoner.
Tobey: We could take turns; I'll do the first shift.
LRW: Fine, good, nice, I'll go into the next room to read my magazine. Dupey, care to join me?
Dupey: Sure. (They go off to the next room)
Word Girl: So that's it then… this was all a set-up… (Grunts) I should have known!
Tobey: How could you? No one saw it coming… The things they wanted at the ball were very real; it was just part of a bigger plot…One involving Mr. Big…
Word Girl: Tobey… I was wrong to push you and Becky together…Yes, you two get along so well, but it's the wrong idea to start a relat… relate… ugh, a bond…
Tobey: What? Because you're Becky? Relax; I know why you did it…
Word Girl: (Eyes widen) But didn't you admit that Becky wasn't me?
Tobey: Yes, until I was shown evidence of a timeline of when you were around and when Becky is around… I denied it by far, but I knew the truth…
Word Girl: (Tears let out) I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… I was going to tell you but then all of this happened!
Tobey: Oh boy… (Wiping away her tears) I can see the hormones have caught up to you… I'm not mad… I understand why you had to keep it from me. I was a threat, and I wanted to know for my own selfish purposes… And you wanted me to love you for you…
Word Girl: You love me?
Tobey: I do, Becky slash Word Girl…
Word Girl: I love you too…
Tobey: Do you realize how much my life would be boring and miserable without you…? If I never knew you… If I never felt this love… I would have no inkling of how precious life can be… If I never held you… I would never have a clue… How at last I'd find in you… The missing part of me… In this world so full of fear, full of rage and lies… I can see the truth so clear… In your eyes… So dry your eyes… And I'm so grateful to you… I'd have lived my whole life through… Lost forever… If I never knew you…
Word Girl: I thought our love would be so beautiful…Somehow we'd make the whole world bright… I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong… All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night… But still my heart is saying we were right…For if I never knew you…
Tobey: There's no moment I regret…
Word Girl: If I never knew this love…
Tobey: Since the moment that we met…
Word Girl: I would have no inkling of…
Tobey: If our time has gone too fast…
Word Girl: How precious life can be…
Tobey: I've lived at last… And I'm so grateful to you…I'd have lived my whole life through… Empty as the sky…
Word Girl: Never knowing why…
Both: Lost Forever… If I never knew you…
Tobey: Here, let me get you out.
Word Girl: It'll only work from the inside; I have to define potent. And I want to do it myself, but you could give me an example…
Tobey: Alright, one can say our love is very potent…
Word Girl: So that must mean… our love is very powerful or strong for each other… (Locks open in a click, and she gets out, landing in Tobey's arms. They embrace for a long time until they heard a sniffle and turned to see Dupey crying)
LRW: Now Dupey, if you're going to start to cry then I'm going to start crying then… (Bursts out sobbing)
Tobey: Now I know what this looks like…
Dupey: We thought we heard singing and saw you guys… it was such a beautiful song…
LRW: (Blubbering) It sure was… Look I'll make you deal… Can we just say Word Girl tricked us all? And she escaped from us?
Tobey: You're going to keep this our secret?
LRW: Yes… I knew your feelings for her could not be over and for her to return them… it was surprising…
Word Girl: You really promise?
LRW: Yes, okay, fine. Just go!
Word Girl: I'll be back…
Tobey: How about this… we meet in front of your house…
Word Girl: Ooh, good idea… it's almost time for my curfew; see you then…
Narrator: At Mr. Big's office…
Mr. Big: Once I pull the switch, everyone stays under my control! (Evilly laughs as he puts hand on handle, but then in a flash of red, the controller is destroyed) Wha-
Word Girl: Not today or any other day!
Granny: Word Girl! Oh no…
Word Girl: You know you really shouldn't leave two villains alone like that; easy for a hero to overcome them, you know…
Mr. Big: But you were powerless! How could you get the definition so quickly?!
Word Girl: Let's just say I had a moment of inspiration… Now, are you going to come quietly, or are we going to do this the hard way?! (She braced for battle, but they just lifted their fists to be arrested) Wow, really? You usually put up more of a fight than this.
Granny: Yeah, well, we thought we really did it, you know?
Doc: Plus we really didn't have a backup plan to fight you.
Word Girl: Alright, if you say so… (The police show up as always when Word Girl gets the bad guys) Until next crime. (Flies all the way back to her front yard into her gown, and then she sees Tobey, Scoops, and Violet)
Tobey: Look who I found.
Violet: Becky! The strangest thing happened; I can't seem to remember anything after the ball.
Scoops: Yeah, me too.
Becky: How odd… (Winks to Tobey)
Scoops: Well, we better make sure we return the limo, Tobey.
Tobey: I'll be there… but there's something I have to do first…(Takes Becky and kisses her!)
Scoops and Violet were surprised at first, but then they looked at each other and drew closer, having their first kiss…
Tobey: See you tomorrow, girlfriend?
Becky: (With a smile) It's a date… Boyfriend… (Kissing his cheek)
He and Scoops depart, and so does Violet.
Violet: Bye, Becky!
Becky: Bye, Vi! (Waves, then heads inside…)
Sally: (Sitting on the couch, knitting) So? How was it?
Becky: Not bad… (Gives a loving sigh and thinks) I saved the whole city again… (Says) Mom? Is it too much to say… Tobey is my boyfriend now?
Sally: Oh Becky! (Stands up and hugs her daughter) That's wonderful news!
Becky: Think Dad would mind?
Sally: Oh, he knows you were never going to stay a little girl forever… Besides, you it made back in time for your curfew, and we know Tobey and his mother, so I say it's alright…
Becky: Thanks Mom…
Sally: But it makes one wonder what Bob will say; he might get jealous that you're spending more time with Tobey than with him.
Becky: (Under breath) That's not all he would say… (Yawns) I'm exhausted… All that dancing, you know…
Sally: Yes, get some rest.
Becky: Good night.
Sally: Good night… (Becky walks upstairs) It's 1-2-3, then suddenly I see it at a glance… She's radiant, and confident, and born to take this chance… I taught her well… I planned it all… I just forgot… romance… Sally, how could you do this? How will we get through this? I never should have let them…dance…
Becky looks out her window, seeing the forcefield still up, and with Doc in jail now so he can't finally fix it, Huggy can't come home…
Narrator: The next day…
Becky and Tobey sit on a bench in the park.
Becky: I wish that stupid forcefield would come down. I need Huggy, but he won't be back until it's down.
Tobey: Why did he go anyway?
Becky: To help me be a better superhero, to see what I can do without his help… I failed, didn't I? I was sucked into their trap…He would have known something was up…
Tobey: I don't think even the great Captain Huggy Face would have seen the whole plan. Don't be so hard on yourself… You still got out, didn't you?
Becky: With your help…
Tobey: Maybe, but answer me this, can anybody do anything on their own? People are always going to rely on someone else for help. You and Huggy always have to help the city all the time; don't you think it was time someone helped you in return? Even if it means it had to be one of your enemies?
Becky: Ex-enemy… Unless you're still planning on crushing me with a giant robot…?
Tobey: Not if you want me to, which I doubt that…
Becky: You know, they're still going to see you as a villain. If you stop the robot battles all together… they might know something's up, since you did help trap me. We might as well keep up the tradition…
Tobey: Not a bad idea… But that depends, would you still have to turn me over to Mother?
Becky: Not if I tell her you're being a good boy from now on and are willing to help me keep an eye on the other villains to prevent them from doing another plan like that ever again.
Tobey: A secret agent… a risky but fun position!
Becky: I won't force you. It is too dangerous, and I don't want anything happening to you again like it did last night…
Tobey: Becky, I would be honored to this for you. I love you…
Becky: I love you too… (They get closer to kiss until something went between them) Bob! (Grabbing him and hugging him tightly) You're here!
Bob: ("Not so tight!")
Becky: Oh, sorry… (Letting him go) But you said…
Bob: ("Yeah, but it was taking too long. I thought for sure it'd be gone by now, and, well… I missed you…")
Becky: Me too, Bob… Me too… (Lets some tears out)
Bob: ("Now answer me this… What are you doing with him?!" Pointing to Tobey)
Becky: Relax; he's officially on our side now.
Bob: ("Say what?!")
Becky: It's a long story…
Narrator: May I?
Becky: Yes.
Narrator: After three days worth of storytelling…
Becky: (Bob's in shock mode) And now… Tobey's my… boyfriend…Are you upset? (He faints but then gets back on his feet, jumps on top of the bench, and gives Tobey a stare. Both him and Becky worry about what he'll do, but then Bob pats Tobey's head and gives a squeak of content) Whew…
Tobey: What he say?
Becky: He said welcome to the team…
Tobey: Come here, you little monkey! (Gives him a nuggie)
Becky: You know what? I think things are finally turning around for us… So what if we have a stupid musical dome on our heads…Who doesn't love singing?!
Narrator: Not me, that's for sure, but you know… I bet if you do one final song in the whole city, maybe then it can finally go down…
Becky: You think that'll really work?
Narrator: Never know unless you try, plus, I know my musicals…
Becky: Okay… Word up! Climb on, you two; let's finish this score. (They did as she asked them to do, and as she flies over the city, a song comes out) Life in Fair City shimmers… Life in Fair City shines! And I know for absolute certain…
All: That everything… 'Cause everything… Is certainly… Fine! Is fine!
Narrator: And with that, the force field finally comes down… The entire town celebrates…
Word Girl: All that… just took one little song?
Tobey: Well that figures…
Huggy: ("On the plus side, that just means it's a whole new start…")
Word Girl: You know, I think you're right, Huggy… It is a new start… (Holds out her hand, and Tobey takes it)
Narrator: Wahoo! Best episode ever! So, we conclude this as another great adventure of… Word Girl!
But as they fly away… We see the machine back in Doc's place is fast asleep…
End of Scene and Storyline… Or is it?
AN: Sorry for the creepy ending, but there is going to be sequel! It's pretty much for any song I would like to have, but the storyline is just as good, Part One will be up before you know it. Thanks to IsabellaWinxSirenix! You're an awesome editor!
