Chapter 20
The Wedding Part 2
The kiss goes over well.
It's time to keep my promise.
But first...
I hand the mike to Dick and start playing Simple Plan's So Happy Together. He grins.
"You and me and me and you..."
He points to Babs with every you in the song. After the song's over Babs and Dick sing Lillix's What I Like About You (together.) I'm playing the guitar (of course.)
It's my turn to sing. I clear my throat.
"I promised Dick that I'd sing at his wedding. I just didn't say when. But, right now, it's time to keep that promise. This song's for Dick and Babs. I had to think for a while to decide on just the right one. Finally, I decided to just put my own spin on The Bridal March. I heard it and thought it could use some guitar and, for this wedding, some new lyrics. So, without further ado, I give you guys...The Dick and Babs Rock! Or, as I call it sometimes, When My Friends Fell In Love. Yeah, I know that title's kind of corny. No offense, Clark. But, hey, that's why I gave you guys the other title."
I start playing.
"Here comes the bride
And it's about time
Here comes the groom
The best guy I know in this room
This is all a result of what happened
When my friends fell in love
When my friends fell in love
When my friends fell in love
Today I celebrate the day
When my friends fell in love
They fell hard
And they fell fast
I knew it was meant to last
That's why I'm here now
But it's also the result of what happened
When my friends fell in love
When my friends fell in love
When my friends fell in love
Today I celebrate the day
When my friends fell in love
I always knew he would
I bet she thought she could
When they first met
That was the day
When my friends fell in love"
I start a guitar solo.
"When my friends fell in love
When my friends fell in love
Today I celebrate the day
When my friends fell in love
I know I'll alway celebrate the day
When my friends fell in...love"
I smile.
"I hope you guys are happy that I kept my promise. I know I am."
The applause tells me everything I need to know. I walk off stage still smiling.
Now I believe there's a reception.
When I get there, I find the courage to meet two new people. They introduce themselves as Helena and Dinah.
And, almost instantly, I have two new friends.
Bonus/Extended Scene
Dick's P.O.V
H hands the mike to me and starts playing Simple Plan's So Happy Together. I know a cue when I see it. Grinning, I start singing.
"You and me and me and you..."
I point to Babs with every you in the song. After I sing with Babs Lillix's What I Like About You, H steps to the mike. It's her turn to sing. She clears her throat.
"I promised Dick that I'd sing at his wedding. I just didn't say when."
I smile.
"But, right now, it's time to keep that promise. This song's for Dick and Babs. I had to think for a while to decide on just the right one."
Which one did you choose...
"Finally, I decided to just put my own spin on The Bridal March. I heard it and thought it could use some guitar and, for this wedding, some new lyrics."
That's H...
"So, without further ado, I give you guys...The Dick and Babs Rock!"
When she starts playing it, my grin broadens.
Definitely recording this.
At the reception, I see her find the courage to meet Helena and Dinah.
