One Of The Family
The next morning when I woke up, I lay in bed, thinking about last night. I was so glad that Magenta was ok. Who knows what could've happened if my Pop and I wouldn't have come to her rescue?
I decided to go see if my parents were awake. I needed to talk to them about something important.
I was surprised to see them coming to see me too.
"Scamp, my father, Tramp said to me, Your mother and I have been talking, and we have decided that we really can't let Magenta live on the street any longer."
I frowned. "Uh, yeah. I need to talk to you guys about that."
"Let your father finish, Scamp." my mother, Lady said.
"Sorry."
Tramp continued. "As I was saying, we can't have Magenta living on the street. Last night was too close a call, and she is too young to have to go to the Pound, so your mother and I would like to invite Magenta to come stay with us."
My ears perked up. "Really?!? That's great! "Cause that's what I needed to talk to you about!"
"Why don't you go get her?" Lady suggested.
"Ok!" I cried, and ran to go get Magenta.
Magenta was still asleep when I found her. I gently nudged her and said,"Wake up, Magenta. I have a surprise for you."
"What?" Magenta mumbled in her sleep, "A surprise?"
"Yeah, c'mon!"
"Ok." she said, and yawned as she followed me.
Everyone's invited
This is how we live
We're all here for each other
Happy to give
All we have we share
And all of us we care
"We're almost there." I said.
Then I gulped when I saw the stairs. Carefully, we made our way up, one step at a time.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy
Given and taken
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Magenta was still tired, so I helped her climb the stairs. We finally reached the top, and I was exhausted. After a quick rest, we went into the room where my parents were waiting.
They told Magenta to sit. That they needed to talk to her.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
Then my Mom began speaking. "Magenta, after last night, Tramp and I have decided that if you want, we would like for you to join our family."
That sure woke Magenta up!
"Oh, um, are you sure it wouldn't be a problem?" she asked.
This is our festival
You know
And best of all
We're here to share it all
I chuckled. She had to be kidding if she thought that she was going to be a problem!
Tramp smiled warmly. "Magenta, we would be honored if you would come stay with us. And I know that Scamp would be thrilled!"
There's a bond between us
Nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life
And seeing friends again
He looked over at me and I blushed.
Magenta giggled.
"Well, as long as it's not a problem, I guess I could stay..."
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too
So come on..
I ran over to her.
"Does that mean yes?" I asked hopefully.
Magenta smiled at me.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
"Yes, she replied, It does."
"Woo hoo!" I cheered, and started running around the house.
We're happy
Given and taken
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
"Scamp!" Tramp yelled at me. "You know you're not supposed to run in the house!"
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival
You know
And best of all
We're here to share it all
Magenta sighed, and shook her head.
Remembering loved ones departed
Someone dear to your heart
Finding love, planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget
"Scamp! Listen to your father!" Mom called.
This has to be
The most beautiful
The most peacful place I've ever been to
It's nothing like
I've ever seen before
When I think how far I've come I can't believe it
And yet I see it
In them I see family
I see the way we used to be
Come on...
"Scamp! Listen to them!" Magenta cried, but I didn't hear her. I was too excited!
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy
Given and taken
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
"Magenta's staying!" I cried. "Magenta's staying!"
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival
You know
And best of all
We're here to share it
I wasn't watching where I was going, and I ran into a table!
We're here to share it all
Mom, Dad and Magenta ran over to me.
"Are you ok?!?" they cried.
"Yeah, sure. I'm OK." I replied weakly.
The End
