36. Oscar's Concert
"Haha yes... Now I really am... For 100% sure although I can't understand or see it yet.." Oscar laughed, his old and familair laugh as his happily smile came across his lips. Then Julie run in and jumped around Oscar's neck. "Oscar!" She said happy.
"Whatever is the matter, dear?!" Theodora remarked. "Oh, I'm sorry, for my rude entrance. But, I just could not wait any longer. I have not seen you two in a while." Julie apologized. Theodora smiled at her. "Think nothing of it." "How have you been?"
"Good, how about you?" Julie asked as she sat on the table. Oscar then looked up to Elphaba, and helped her to eat her food, it looked like she enjoyed it very much. Everyone had something to eat, the moost wonderfullst things even.
"The food here is quite different, Oscar. It is not at all like the food we had back in Kansas." Frank exclaimed. "It is similar, yet different that the food you're used to." Theodora added. "Oscar, are you finally taking Theodora on a honey-moon?" Julie beamed.
Theodora looked up to her. "Oh, I don't think so, dear. Yet, I do not know where he will want to go. Where should go to, Oscar?" Theodora asked, as she looked at him.
"My dear I would like to go to a special place, a trip through Oz and.. I would like to sing a song for you... Special for you my dear... In the afthernoon..." Oscar saus as he slowly touched her soft and green lips with his. Elphaba laughed again as she saw her parents kissing.
"Oh, Oscar, that sounds so romantic." Theodora remarked. "Will you play an instrument or song?" She asked. "Whatever you do, I will love it!" Theodora finished.
"I can do bot for you my dear Theodora..." Oscar answered as he stroke her hand with his. With his other hand he stroke Elphaba's hand. "I can do it for the public... But moostly for you my dear."
Theodora blushed. "You really don't have to do it publicly." "I'd love a private serenade from my beautiful wizard." Theodora stated.
"I have more songs I want to show you... few are even for Elphaba, and Elphaba and you... My grandpa always teached me to sing and play the piano..." Oscar said, kissing Theodora's hand. "We can even do a concert later on..."
"Alright, but give me a private preview before the concert." Theodora ordered. "It will be so nice." "Then we can announce the day of our concert." She added.
"Theodora, may I ask you to give me a tour of the palace." Frank spoke aloud. "Yes, I would love to. Of course, I will show right now." Theodora replied. "You two will have a great time." Finley added. "Frank you'll love it!" Julie exclaimed. "While we watch Oscar, practice his serenade." Finley sniggered.
"Hehe..." Oscar laughed as he looked back to the friends of him. "I have an istrumental song on the paino called Arrival of the Birdons..." Oscar started to play, the song, so beautiful and the same time sad that it was unbelieveble to believe that it was only played by one pair of hands. "The second song was hard for me to sing... Since it reminds me of our past but the same time it is beautiful... This one is for Elphaba..." It was kinda a rapsong but so beautiful, same time sad, that it made an unexplainable emotion in the place. Afther that he finished with a incredible beautiful song for Theodora, which he was going to sing for her when she came back with Frank.
Theodora and Frank walked back into the parlour. "Theodora, this place is truly amazing." "I know, Frank, I'm so glad you like it." Theodora replied. "Thank you." Frank said. "You're welcome." Theodora replied. As they walked in, they saw Oscar by the piano. "I knew we heard music. It sounded beautiful." Theodora stated. "Care to give us a demonstration." She added.
Oscar softly smiled as a small smirk came out of his mouth. "Yes... Afcours I will immediatly play now..." Oscar said as he played Arrival of the Birds again, but this time only for Theodora, again his hands played so fast, so incredible beautiful, that it was unbelieveble to believe that it was only played by Oscar himself.
Theodora and Frank both clapped. "That was beautiful!" Theodora remarked. "You played beautifully well." Frank added. "Oscar also played another song for you." Finley stated. "Oh, really." Theodora replied. "Yes, you'll love it." Julie exclaimed. "Oscar, please play it for me." Theodora pleaded.
"I have many songs I want you to hear... But I'll start with this one... In my hands like a sea of memories, I can hear you say my name, I can almost see your smile, Feel the warmth of your embrace, But there is nothing but silence now, Around the one I loved, Is this our farewell? Sweet darling you worry too much, my child, See the sadness in your eyes, You are not alone in life, Although you might think that you are... Never thought
This day would come so soon, We had no time to say goodbye, How can the world just carry on? I feel so lost when you are not at my side. But there's nothing but silence now, Around the one I loved, Is this our farewell? Sweet darling you worry too much, my child, See the sadness in your eyes, You are not alone in life, Although you might think that you are... So sorry your world is tumbling down, I will watch you through these nights, Rest your head and go to sleep, Because my child, this not our farewell. This is not our farewell." Oscar could sing like an angel, but the point was that he almost never song so no one could hear him.
Theodora started to cry. Tears swelled up in her eyes. "That was so lovely. "You sound like an angel." She stated, as she turned around and tried to wipe away her tears. She did not want Oscar to see her cry. "Oscar, she's crying." Finley mentioned, pointing to her.
"Awww honey... You better can stop crying or else you burn of your face..." Oscar said as he did his arm around her in a comforting way. "I am glad you like it my dear..." Oscar finished kissing her lightly at the cheek, like feathers in the soft airwind. "I have more I can play..." Oscar finished is sentence and he hugged her tightly.
"That would be lovely." Theodora said, as she dried her eyes. "Please Theodora, don't cry." Finley added. Theodora smiled at him. "I know, thank you." She thanked.
"This one is for Elphaba..." Oscar said as he looked to his daughter and gave her to Theodora, then he sat back behind the piano and started to play again. "Yeah... It's my life... My own words I guess... Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your heart, And you know you were their armour, And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her, But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?, What happens when you become the main source of her pain?, Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her, And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her, And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain, Just smile back, And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling, And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain, Just smile back..." Oscar looked up to them with a beteared face, but with the look that he had more songs.
"Keep playing, my love!" Theodora enticed. They spent the entire rest of the day, listening to Oscar's singing and playing. "This is amazing, I've never seen Oz do something like this." "He really has changed." Frank exclaimed.
