Night's The Time For
A Flight
Part Two
By: Flyby
There
was a knock at Flyby's door. "Come
in," she said. The door opened and
Niteflite walked in.
"Flyby,
could you help me?" Niteflite asked.
"Sure. What do you need help with?"
"You
remember when I told you of my changing feelings for Windra- I mean
Cheetor?"
"Yeah."
"Well,
I still feel the same about him and I want to tell him, but every time I try I
just freeze up," explained Niteflite.
"Here,"
said Flyby, typing in a code to her computer. A small disk came out of it. "Give him this song. He
should get the message. I don't think
he's dense enough to miss it!" The
two females laughed.
"What
song is it?" asked the panther/bat fuzor.
"It's
'What If I Said', a duet between Anita Cochran and Steve Warner."
"I'll
give it a listen before I give it to Racer- I mean Cheetor. Man, I've got to get used to his new
name." Niteflite left Flyby's
room.
Five
minutes later, there came another knock on the door. "Come in." Cheetor walked the room this time.
"Hiya,
Flyby. Uhh, can you give me some
advice?"
"What
kind?"
"Well,
I want to tell Stri- I mean Niteflite how I feel about her, but for some reason
I can't." (Okay, just so you
understand, Flyby/Stardancer has this amazing ability to figure out peoples'
emotions. She always knows who likes
who. Nobody knows how she does it,
including herself ;-)
"Okay. How 'bout you give her a song."
"What?"
"Give
her a song. This technique has worked
before," replied Flyby.
"I
guess I could try that, but I don't know any songs that would work."
"You're
in luck. I know the perfect
song." Flyby typed in a code to
the computer. Another disk came out of
the slot on the computer. "Here
you go. I suggest you take a listen to
it before you give it to 'Flite."
"Okay. See ya later, Fly." As soon as the door closed, Flyby burst out
in hysterical laughter that echoed through her room.

"Cheetor!"
Niteflite called out, running towards her friend. He turned to face her.
"Hi,
Niteflite."
Niteflite
took a deep breath and said, "I've got something I want to give you."
"Really? So do I." Cheetor and Niteflite took out the disks simultaneously. Laughing, they swapped disks.
"Well,
I guess I'll see you later," said Niteflite. Cheetor nodded and they headed toward their separate
quarters. Niteflite put the disk in her
computer and this is what came out:
"We've
been friends for a long, long time
You
tell me your secrets
And
I tell you mine
She's
left you all alone and you feel like no one cares
But
I have never failed you
I've
always been there
You
tell your story
It
sounds a bit like mine
It's
the same old situation
It
happens every time
Can't
we see
Oh
maybe you and me is what's meant to be
Or
do we disagree
What
if I told you
What
if I said that I love you
How
would you feel
What
would you think
What
would we do
Do
we dare to cross that line
Between
your heart and mine
Or
would I lose a friend
Or
find a love that would never end
What
if I said
She
doesn't love you
Oh
it's plain to see
I
can read between the lines of what you're telling me
He
doesn't hold you
The
way a woman should be held
How
long can I go on keeping
These
feelings to myself
What
if I told you
What
if I said that I love you
How
would you feel
What
would you think
What
would we do
Do
we dare to cross that line
Between
your heart and mine
Or
would I lose a friend
Or
find a love that would never end
What
if I said
Oh
we've both had our share of loneliness
So
who's to say
We
can't have a little happiness
And
if I found that in you
It
would make my dreams come true
Or
would you walk away
Hear
what I have to say
Oh,
what if I told you
What
if I said that I love you
How
would feel
What
would you think
What
would we do
Do
we dare to cross that line
Between
your heart and mine
I've
always wondered
From
the day that we met
What
if I said
What
if I said
What
if I said"
Niteflite
quickly grabbed the disk and bolted out of her room. She suddenly hit something hard. It turned out to be Cheetor.
"Cheetor!"
she yelped. "I think we may have
forgotten to switch the disks."
They
switched disks again and went back to their rooms to listen to them. Again they got the same song. Suddenly, it
dawned on them. They had the same song
recorded on the two disks!
They
met up again outside Niteflite's quarters. Both were at a loss for words.
"Um,
well, uh, this is really awkward," said Niteflite.
"Yeah. Uh, do you want to take a walk
outside?" asked Cheetor.
"That would be nice." Niteflite's face lit up in a smile. The two walked out into the night, holding hands.
