Disclaimer: I do not own Tombstone or any of its characters. I do not own Lion Kate, she belongs to herself. :) The song Andy sings is "Reaching for Heaven" by Diana DeGarmo from Disney's Ice Princess. The saying "In family no one is left behind or forgotten" comes from Lilo and Stitch, I thought the song and the saying would be perfect for this chapter. :D

(A/N: Thanks WolfxAngel for the great review! :) )

Andy stared at the stage of the Birdcage Theater that night, the various acts so far were terrible. But luckily no one was made to suffer the eye glazing 'entertainment.' Each time an act failed to impress the Cowboys would shoot bullets into the ceiling of the theater, which quickly convinced the actors to run off stage as quickly as possible.

She glanced up at one of the boxes along the upper wall, in one she spotted the newcomers in town: 3 brothers. Then was Doc Holliday with a woman named Big Nose Kate. Sharing a box with the two love birds was his sister, Lion Kate Holliday. She didn't look amused with the acts either, but she didn't waste bullets on chasing them off stage.

Finally a good act came onto stage, Faust's story of his deal with the devil. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it, she glanced over at Ringo. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were glittering with an emotion she couldn't place.

"You know what I'd do?" Curly Bill asked, "I'd take that deal 'n' crawfish, then drill that ol' Devil in the ass. What about you Johnny, what would you do?"

"I already did it," Ringo smiled; Bill gave a small and sarcastic laugh.

Andy glanced over to find Johnny staring at her, she smiled.

"And I got repaid for it, I got you," he smiled, "Only damned thing I ever asked for was a good, strong woman. Seems I got my wish."

"I hope you're not saying I'm your reward for dealing with the devil," Andy frowned. Though she had changed as a person, her religious beliefs were still in tact. The idea of being Ringo's prize (no matter what her feelings for him) for dealing with the devil made her sick to her stomach.

"I'm sayin' I made a good choice that day back in town."

"Wait....You knew?"

Ringo smirked, "Wasn't that hard to figure out. You fooled everyone else, and did an excellent job of it as well."

Her mouth opened in surprise, "H...How did you know? I...I even fooled the town's madame! How..."
"I study people, observe them," Ringo replied, "When I saw you in that saloon that day after carrying that heavy crate I noticed the way you were walking." He leaned forward, "Men don't walk with a slight swing to their hips."

Her eyes widened, "I thought...I thought I had gotten rid of that."

"You're a lady, it's how your built, isn't nothin' you can do about it. Besides, I kept your secret. Though now I'm wishin' I wasn't so hasty to cut your hair."

She looked down with a slight blush.

"Don't be upset, you fooled Bill. He isn't an easy man to fool, and you of all people know that. 'Sides he likes you more as a female, feels like he has a little sister," he smiled.

Bill suddenly snapped as the Cowboys began to stand, "Sit down!" He stood, "Hey ya'll we still have one more act," he stood in front of Andy and offered her his hand.

She stared at him in shock and embarrassment, "I'm not going up there."

"Oh yes, you are. We want to hear ya sing."

"I can't sing."

"Don't be stupid. Every woman can sing," Bill argued, "Ringo, c'mon and help me."

Ringo stood and together both lifted an extremely nervous Andy onto the stage.

"If ya can act like a boy, then you can sing," Ringo smiled, "Just give it your best shot. We won't shoot at you, we promise."

"Pick a good song," Bill exclaimed as he sat down.

"What about that one you wrote for your brother? Reaching for the sky?" Ringo suggested.

"Reaching for Heaven," she replied softly, "I...I guess I'll give it my best shot."

"You'll do just fine," Ike smiled from the second row behind Bill.

She glanced up at the boxes to find the Hollidays and the newcomers were still sitting down. Why had they stayed? Couldn't they just go? Nothing could be easy, could it?

"Um...Hello...Everyone," She squeaked.

"Louder, Andy! You got a good voice, use it!" Billy Clanton shouted.

She blushed, "Hello everyone," she practically shouted, "I'm going to sing a song I wrote for my brother. When he was alive he was a father figure to me and....I wrote the song to thank him...And this song is dedicated to him and the Cowboys....Who reminded me that family isn't just a mother, father, sister, and brother. And that in a family, no one is left behind nor forgotten."

She took a deep and shaky breath inwards, her heart pounded. She plastered her arms to her sides in fear and felt her knees knocking together. She was glad to be wearing a dress, or everyone would see her stage fright. She looked at Ringo and eased, as long as she kept her eyes on him, she would be able to sing well.

She began the song softly, "All my life, there was just me and my dreams....And the days went ticking by, like the beat of my heart." Taking another large breath she began to make her voice louder and tensed it slightly to give it more dramatics, "Spend my nights wondering how it would feel, when the waiting would end and tomorrow would start." She raised her voice as loud as it would go, and made herself sound as happy as she possibly could, "Suddenly I see a light, out of the darkness I'm coming alive!"

"This is how it feels reaching for heaven," she sang and lifted her arms as she imagined reaching up to her brother. Would he be smiling now if he were still alive? Did he know she was reaching for him? "Is this how it feels, kissing the sky? This is what it means touching forever...Like a Phoenix rising from the flames," she began to slow her singing and lowered it slightly again, "I'm reaching for heaven..." She drew her hands down and as she did felt the slightest brush across her fingertips. Andrew. Her eyes watered, he had reached from heaven back down to her.

She looked into Ringo's eyes, the line she was about to sing she had written just for him. She knew ehr heart belonged to him, and she wanted him to always know this. "All this time, I never knew I was so strong. But you made me fire the fire that was there all along. In your eyes I can see all I can be," she raised her voice once again and started to sing slightly quicker, "Suddenly I want it all! I know you'll catch me whenever I fall!"

She raised her voice as high as she and beamed with happiness. Her brother was finally able to hear the song and she was able to finally tell her new family how much they meant to her, "This is how it feels reaching for heaven. Is this how it feels, kissing the sky? This is what it means, touching forever. Like a Phoenix rising from the flames...." She slowed and lowered her voice, "I'm reaching for Heaven..."

Andy then looked at Bill, Ringo and Ike as a group, then began to sing the next line "You alone have shown me shining new horizons, now for all I owe you. It's my turn to show you..."

She raised her voice as loud as she could, "This is how it feels reaching for heaven! This is how it feels kissing the sky! This is what it means, touching forever! Like a Phoenix rising from the flames! I'm reaching for heaven....I'm reaching for heaven...Heaven!" She drew out the last word and stopped when her lungs felt as if they were on fire. She stopped and took a large breath inwards and looked at the Cowboys.

Did they like it? They all stared at her, some of their faces were unreadable, while others were shocked. It was then she noticed Curly Bill and Ike's eyes were watering. Ringo was beaming at her, his eyes dancing with what seemed to be happiness. A long minute later they erupted in cheers, claps, and whistles.

After Bill and Ringo lifted her off the stage Bill beamed at her.

"We feel the same about you, Kid."
