Alex... I didn't know what he looked like now, or if he was even alive
still. After all, I hadn't seen him for ten years. Without even realizing
it, I started singing one of our favorite songs. My voice was one of the
few things I had inherited from my mother, and I loved singing.
~**BLINK'S POV**~ I was watching a poker game in the middle of the floor involving Race and an extreme losing streak when I suddenly heard something. It sounded like... someone was singing! I hissed at the other boys to shut up for a minute and listen. The voice was smooth and rich, and suddenly I recognized it: that was Firecracker singing!
Why are there so many,
Songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions,
But only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide,
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong,
Wait and see.
Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Who said that every wish,
Would be heard and answered,
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that,
And someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing,
And what do we think we might see,
Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
(The Rainbow Connection, verses 1-2, from the Muppet Movie.)
FIRECRACKER'S POV
When I finally headed inside, I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into several people just inside the window before realizing that almost the entire LH was crowded around the window, staring at me open-mouthed. At first I didn't realize why they were out there, until someone finally said "Wow. That was really, really good! Your name should be Angel or something instead of Firecracker, cause you sing like one!" With that, the room suddenly burst into sound, most of it agreeing with whomever said that. I couldn't help blushing, even though I didn't think it was anything near that good. After that, I managed to get to my bed, though I practically had to fight my way there, and fall onto it, asleep almost immediately.
