A/N: Hi! This is your.. erm, author, speaking.. just so you guys know, and before I forget (again), that the Star Wars and the vague Suite Life of Zack and Cody reference are these lines in the Chappy 26 "scared" are...

Star Wars - It was a whole straight-up quote guys - "Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

Hehehe...

The Suite life one is the part where they ran into the door- or something.. oh my goodness, i can't believe i forgot... sigh

well, cyber-cookie to Alexa Twitch who caught the Suite life one! (well, sort of - i sorta kinda forgot what it was, lol)

Anyway, let's get on with the ficcy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing even if i'd want to own something!

Warning: EXTREMELY silly. I hope that in the so called "normal-ish parts" in this chappie I got Abby, Ben, and Riley IC. :D And this one is kinda short.. :D

"Ben, remember that time we were there in the city of gold?"

Ben lowered down his book. "What about it?"

"First I was afraid, I was petrified." Riley said, gesturing in an odd manner, even for him. "Then you almost got left in there… and there was water everywhere, Ben… I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side."

Ben's expression softened. "Oh." He smiled. "Honestly, I didn't think I'd see you again, Riley."

"But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong and I grew strong! I learned how to carry on!"

Ben involuntarily leaned back. "What? Riley, are you okay?"

Riley stood up, and suddenly a microphone appeared in front of him. The lights dimmed, and a disco ball slowly emerged from the ceiling. "Introducing, Mrs. Abigail Chase-Gates!" He gestured to the stairs, and Abby descended, her skirt swaying and glimmering with every step.

"And so you're back

From outer space

I just walked in to find you here

with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed my stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me!"

Abby kicked the chair behind her. The chair fell, making a loud 'thud'.


That jolted Ben awake. "Oh good. Just before the chorus." He exhaled gratefully. It wasn't that Abby was a bad singer, it was just that he's been hearing it from Abby these past few days too much that now he's actually dreaming about it!

Abby entered his room and gave him a small kiss. "Ben, I want to tell you something important. Ain't no mountain high enough."

"Ah, Abby.."

"Ain't no valley low enough…"

"Abby-"

"Ain't no river wide enough…"

Ben suddenly found a microphone in his hand and started singing with Abby- surprisingly, in sync with her, in tone, and in time. Their voices even blended. "To keep me from getting to you baby…"

Lights suddenly changed into a weird disco theme. Blue, yellow, red and green flashed around them. Ben clutched the mike in his hand, moon-walked across the hall to the stage and started dancing. And singing.

"There ain't no mountain high enough!

Ain't no valley low enough…

Ain't no river wide enough!

To keep me from you-ooooh!

Ain't no mountain high enough…

Ain't no valley low enough…

Ain't no river wide enough,

To keep me from getting to you baby."

Ben grinned, and was about to launch into another chorus when something exploded in the back.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Riley woke up, sweating profusely. His heart was beating faster than he had ever felt in his entire life, and his eyes were about to pop out of its sockets. "It's just a dream, Riley… just a dream. You're okay… you're going to be okay." Nothing scares him more (well, sort of, anyway) than seeing Ben singing and dancing at the same time. The 'High School Musical incident' took more than a week of distraction for him to get it out of his head.

"Riley… I have to tell you that when the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon, is the only light we'll see…"

"Ben, are you okay…?"

"You're always right here, so I won't, be afraid, no, I won't be afraid. Just as long, as you, stand by me."

"Oh Be-een oh Be-eeeeen won't you stand, by me!" Riley suddenly started singing. He slid down from the banister and grabbed a microphone floating near him, his neon-purple shirt glittering in the lights.

"Wo-oh-o-ohhh stand, by me… Ohh-oh stand… stand by me, stand by me… When the sky, that we look upon… should tumble and fall… or the mountains… they should crumble, to the sea… I won't cry…"

"You won't cry?" Ben asked.

"No I won't shed a tear… Just as long, as you stand, stand by meeeeee…" And before Riley could sing another chorus lightning suddenly hit the ground behind them, followed by a loud sound of thunder.


Abby popped up from her bed, and looked at Ben beside her. He was also awake, and looking at Abby wildly as if she was some entity that suddenly rose and lived. "Wild, wild dream?" Abby asked.

Ben nodded wordlessly, the wild look still in his eyes. He stood up. "I'm… ah, going to get me a glass of water."

"Okay sweetie…" Abby blinked her eyes. She groaned. "Ugh. That's it- no more triple broccoli surprise for dinner."
