Song For Stephanie And Stanley
"Okay," Flip asked. "now how will we get in that building in order to rescue Anne and Princess Kari?"
"Why don't we just burst in there?" Wally suggested.
"Only fools rush in, Wally!" Stephanie snapped.
"That's right," Henry added. "our only hope would be if you sing to my sister again and hope she will sing back."
Wally cleared his throat and began to sing to Anne again.
Wally: I may be a coward;
But there's so much more to me;
I am also a big brother;
As everyone can see;
I believe in what I want to do;
I believe in loyalty;
I believe in;
Following my dreams;
Following my dreams.
Wally and the others could hear absolutely no sign of Anne.
"Try again, Wally." Merilee urged her boyfriend.
Wally: I may be a coward;
But there's so much more to me;
I am also a big brother;
As everyone can see;
I believe in what I want to do;
I believe in loyalty;
I believe in;
Following my dreams;
Following my dreams.
Again, Wally and the others could hear absolutely no sign of Anne.
"Oh no," Alan said in a worried voice. "please tell me that Anne didn't get too cold."
"What do you mean, Alan?" Stephanie asked curiously.
"Simple, Stephanie, when Alan & Anne get too cold," Tom answered just before Alan could even get the chance to speak. "they go into the state of hibernation complete with somniloquy."
Stephanie scratched her head in confusion, "What?" she asked Tom.
Scooter decided to ease Stephanie's confusion, "When Alan & Anne get too cold, they go to sleep complete with sleep talking." he told Stephanie, translating for Tom.
Back in the cell, Princess Hikari could see that Anne was shivering with violent cold chills.
"I'm so cold, I'm getting sleepy." the princess heard Anne yawning.
"No, Anne! Don't fall asleep," Princess Hikari urged. "the cold air is making you want to bunk down! Think of one of your brothers!"
Anne snapped out of it and began to focus on Stanley.
Anne imagined Stanley was with her and he appeared before her and began to sing a Sundance Kids song to her.
Image Stanley: Stranger;
What's your name;
Stranger;
What's your game;
Don't you misunderstand me;
I don't even come on strong;
Oh come on;
Stranger;
Stranger;
I'm trying to get a message through;
But I must have a bad connection;
Just one little spy from you;
Will be a step;
In the right direction;
Stranger;
I hid someone;
Don't you know the low lands;
Ain't no fun;
Don't you misunderstand me;
I don't even come on strong;
Oh come on;
Stranger;
Stranger.
The vision of Stanley disappeared from Anne's view.
Oh, Stanley, Anne thought. I long to see your smiling face... one more time.
Anne continued to think of Stanley as she listened to the guard's booming snoring.
Once inside the temple, Wally focused on Stephanie and he began to sing to Anne with all hope that she'd sing back to him.
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend;
Wally could hear Anne's singing voice ringing clearly from the temple's dungeon.
Anne: You will always be with me;
Like the moon is in the night time sky;
I will never let you down;
Our bond is eternal;
My older brother;
My friend.
