CHOPSUEY AND CARMEN
A green, Stitch-lookalike who almost always had his four arms out, with a white Mohawk and underbelly to match. Significantly skinnier, more rebellious and with a history of taking missions that had required absolute cruelty, 621 had been a dangerous being…but he had mellowed with age and…with cannabis. A pink, Angel-lookalike with fruit upon her head like her namesake, who carried maracas in all four arms, who had asked Jumba to give her breasts just so she could look different from 624…the fiery Latina Carmen. Formerly "the village bicycle", she'd left that label behind thanks to Lilo and company…and was now happily married to 621, or Chopsuey.
The two lovebirds were taking a break from the festivities and were sitting on a park bench, hugging each other with one arm.
"Hey babe…"
"Yeah, baby?"
Carmen turned to look at Chopsuey, smiling. "Remember when we first went out on a date?"
Chopsuey turned red. "Aw, do you have to bring THAT up?" He asked. "I felt so nervous…"
Carmen rubbed his Mohawk, laughing. "Aw, but choo were AMAZIN', babe!" She said.
"Mom, Dad, what DID you do on your first date?" Frank asked, going up to them with Victoria following behind, drinking Orange Soda from a curly straw. Frank looked a lot like his father, green fur, skinny, a smoothed-back and slightly wavy white Mohawk and a big, toothy smile. He wore sunglasses and had a fairly big nose. Victoria resembled her pink-furred, blue-eyed mother in basic form but she had a wreath of cherries around her head, one of which was stuck in the straw she was sipping. She had long white hair that fell down her back smoothly and a fang poking down from the top of her mouth like her dad did.
Carmen smiled. "Well, your dad and I decided to go out to a dance…"
…
…
…
…"I feel nervous." 621, currently known as Scratch, admitted to Carmen. He didn't want to be called "Chopsuey" due to the fact that it meant very bad memories…
He and Carmen were dancing in a park at "Couples Night", as part of a Community Outreach program that the Birds of Paradise Hotel took part of. The couple danced by the punch bowl on the snack table as the stars twinkled underneath the sky.
"Choo just need to get in the mood, babe!" Victoria said, snuggling her nose against his, making him blush. "Come on…" She grinned. "How about serenading me with a song, mi chico?"
Scratch turned redder. "You…want me to sing?" He asked. "You sure you wouldn't rather…I don't know…get something to eat?"
"Quiero pasar mi tiempo contigo. I want to spend my time with you." Carmen insisted. "Come oooon...sing."
Scratch looked hesitant. "Could you…you know…lead me?" He asked quietly. "I'm not too good."
Carmen smiled. "Absolutely, dulzura."
The stars twinkled gently in the sky as Carmen's voice lofted over the air.
So this is love…
So this is love…
So this is what
makes life divine…
I'm all aglow…
And now I know…
The key to all
heaven is mine!
My heart has wings,
And I can fly…
She poked his nose with hers and kissed him gently.
I'll touch every
star in the sky!
So this is the
miracle that I'm
dreaming of…
So this is love!
She rocked him back and forth as they slowly danced, and his nervousness began to fade as she continued to serenade.
Until tonight…
Love was a word
Part of a phrase
I've often heard…
A mystery…
Now it's as clear as it can be!
Now Scratch felt confidence filling him. He brought himself up taller and sang.
Until tonight…
Love was a word
Part of a phrase
I've often heard…
A mystery…now it's as clear as it can be!
That this is love!
Carmen sang out in Spanish, grinning.
Si es amor, si es amor…
Es lo que hace mi
vida divina!
Estoy brillando…y ahora se…
Que tengo la llave del cielo!
Tengo alas…puedo volar…
Y tocar las,
estrellas en el,
cielo!
Este es el
milagro, que
soñado…
Esto es amor
Si es el milagro, que sonado…
So this is love!
Scratch sang out as he cradled her gently to his body and their bodies moved as one, back and forth.
Until tonight…
Love was a word
Part of a phrase
I've often heard…
A mystery…
Now it's as clear as it can be!
That this is love!
Carmen looked up into his eyes and blinked them slowly as she sang with him.
Until tonight…
Love was a word
Part of a phrase
I've often heard…
A mystery…
Now it's as clear as it can be!
That this is love!
They both sang out together, their voices drifting out over the night and drawing all to look at their embracing forms.
Until tonight…love was a word
Part of a phrase
I've often heard…
A mystery…
Now it's as clear as it can be!
That this is love!
"So this is love…" Carmen sang, kissing Scratch on the nose.
"So this is love…" Scratch sang back, kissing her as well.
Then the two embraced even more deeply than before, kissing on the lips.
…
…
…
…"And that's how it happened." Carmen said. "From then on, we knew we were meant for each other."
She ruffled his hair. "Now then…" Then Carmen spread her arms wide. "Abrácame, babe! Hug me!"
