Scene Fourteen: Breaking the Spell
[Braska returns with a new chocobo. It appears all of Lulu's demands have been met. But the chocobo is wearing a corset, and is actually fairly obese. Lulu tells the couple to fetch Rumoluf. She casts Life, and makes them feel stupid for not thinking of a Phoenix down. Braska and Seymour then feed Rumoluf the other three items. The bird should produce a pellet, which, when crushed, will make the potion. However, there is no pellet. When Lulu discovers the hair was from Shiva[A/N Who else has icy hair?], she goes berserk and tells the couple she cannot have touched any of the ingredients. Suddenly, Maester Mika appears and tells gives Braska some icicles strung into hair. They feed the chocobo, who produces a pellet. Crushed up, it becomes the potion, which Lulu drinks. She suddenly has jet-black hair once more, and she removes her mask; her face is no longer disfigured. Maester Mika keels over dead. Lulu reveals he was Braska's father, who abandoned him after his mother's death. Tidus and Rumoluf are reunited. Auron discovers that Yuna is his intended. Shiva and Rin are reunited; the Aeon cures his status ailments, and gives birth to twins. When Lulu tries to curse the new family, she discovers she has lost her powers. Valefor blinds the clones in revenge for being nasty to Yuna. ]
Yuna: I didn't think I'd wed a monk.
Auron: I didn't think I'd ever find you.
Yuna, Auron, Braska, Seymour: I didn't think I could be so happy!
Maechen: And it came to pass, all that seemed wrong was now right, the kingdoms were filled with joy, and those who deserved to were certain to live a long and happy life.
Ever after...
Company: Ever after!
Maechen: Journey over, all is mended,
And it's not just for today,
But tomorrow, and extended
Ever after!
Company: Ever after!
Maechen: All the curses have been ended,
The reverses wiped away.
All is tenderness and laughter
For forever after!
Company: Happy now and happy hence
And happy ever after!
Maechen: There were dangers—
Company: We were frightened—
Maechen: And confusions—
Company: But we hid it—
Maechen: And the paths would often swerve.
Company: We did not.
Maechen: There were constant—
Company: It's amazing—
Maechen: Disillusions—
Company: That we did it.
Maechen: But they never lost their nerve.
Company: Not a lot.
Maechen, Company: And they (we) reached the right conclusions,
And they (we) got what they (we) deserve!
Company: Not a sigh and not a sorrow,
Tenderness and laughter.
Joy today and bliss tomorrow,
And forever after!
Blonde: I was greedy.
Redhead: I was vain.
Blonde: I was haughty.
Redhead: I was smug.
Both: We were happy.
Redhead: It was fun.
Blonde: But we were blind.
Both: Then we went into the woods
To get our wish
And now we're really blind.
Lulu [Over]: I was perfect.
I had everything but beauty.
I had power,
And an Aeon like a flower,
In a tower.
Then I went into the woods to get my wish
And now I'm ordinary.
Lost my power, and my flower.
Clones: We're unworthy.
Clones and Lulu: We're (I'm) unhappy now, unhappy hence,
As well as ever after.
Had we used our common sense,
Been worthy of our discontents...
Company: To be happy, and forever,
You must see your wish come true.
Don't be careful, don't be clever.
When you see your wish, pursue.
It's a dangerous endeavor,
But the only thing to do—
[In three groups: round]
Though it's fearful,
Though it's deep, though it's dark,
And though you may lose the path,
Though you may encounter fiends,
You mustn't stop,
You mustn't swerve,
You mustn't ponder,
You have to act!
When you know your wish,
If you want your wish,
You can have your wish,
But you can't just wish—
No, to get your wish
[Unison]
You go into the woods,
Where nothing's clear,
Where mages, spawn
And fiends appear.
Into the woods
And through the fear,
You have to take the journey.
Into the woods
And down the dell,
In vain perhaps,
But who can tell?
Into the woods to lift the spell,
Into the woods to lose the longing.
Into the woods to have the child,
To wed the monk,
To get the gil,
To save the house,
To kill the fiends,
To find the father,
To conquer the kingdom, to have, to wed,
To get, to save,
To kill, to keep,
To go to the Festival!
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods—
Maechen: And that, as they say, is that…for now…
All: --And happy ever after!
