"Now, Angel! With...'When you say nothing at all' by Allison Krause." Totally tried to bark over the sound of the flock ohhing, ahhing, and oh my godding, at the proposal and the ring.
The crowd on the carpet finally quieted as Angel took her place in the middle of the stage. her Dress was all white and pink, very girly, and she was holding one of her many teddy bears by the arm. She looked very much like a small child, a normal six and a half year old. Then the wings came out...take it all back, she a mutant bird freak child... with a beautiful voice, wich rang clear as a bell through the house.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
By this time, the majority of the audience understood what she meant. She heard thoughts, she actually did hear what was said when they said nothign at all. In fact, only two had not noticed, and that would be the happy couple on the couch, who were aware only of each other's eyes. Angel tried to block out the thoughts that she heard, being uniteligable baby talk in the first place. She blamed herself though.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying that you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
She smiled to herself. After all, it was her who ...'convinced' Jeb to go and get a ring. Not that it had been hard, he had wanted to deep down, and he knew it. She let her eyes wander casually to the couch where "smoochykins" and "ooglywooglylsnuuglesum" were trying to figure out who loved whom more. She almost nodded, but was aware she was on stage. yes, Jeb would be their father again, like he had been before.
All day long I can hear people talking about it
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
For a few moments she was distracted. "who on earth was/is 'Mr.Webster...? Somthing to do with books, big ones, was what Gassy had said. Oh well. She shook her head and continued her song.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying that you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
Why did the song repeat? Angel wondered to herself. well, why not? oh well, it was easier to remember when the words were the same. Soon she and teddy would be able to cuddel and whatch Nudge do "Butterfly". her grin widened a fraction. Of course, Angel knew all of the surprises that were going to happen this evening.

The little girl did an "awwww" awarding curtsy, and hid her evil grin behind her sleave as she left he stage. 'yes.' she thoguht to herself. 'but just because I know all the surprises, dsoesn't mean I made ALL of them..."
