Chapter 12
I'll Know
"good day brothers, sisters" Draco said as he came on stage into the Mission.
"may we help you son?" said Lee.
"I hope so because I'm Sky Masterson and I'M A SINNER!" Draco said falling to his knees. The other missionaries twittered at Sky, but Sarah just rolled her eyes.
Arvide (Lee) noticed this and said "Well maybe Miss Sarah could help you."
Sarah was about to say something but the only person left was Sky. Yep it was just Draco and Hermione.
Sarah grabbed some pamphlets from the desk. She heard Sky come up behind her so she spun around and smacked him in the chest with them.
"Read these." she said flatly.
"thank you miss Sarah. Miss Sarah I'm going to Havana tomorrow, and I'm afraid that I will sin if I don't have someone else there. Will you come with me?"
"I'm not going anywhere with you Mr. Masterson."
"it wouldn't be anything wrong Miss Sarah."
"that's good because if I'm going to Havana with anyone, it would be someone I cared about, and that's not you."
"It is nice to know Miss Sarah that somewhere in the world
there is a guy who might appeal to you. I wonder what this guy would be like?"
"He will not be a gambler!""I'm not interested in what he will not be, I'm interested in what he will be!"
"Don't worry... I'll know!" she starts to sing
"For I've imagined ev'ry bit of him
From his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
To the homey aroma of his pipe..."
"You have wished yourself a real dumb character,
The breakfast readin' books, brother's type" Sky said sitting down.
"Yes! And I shall meet him when the time is right!" she said turning on him.
"You've got the guy all figured out, hmm?"
"I have!" she replied.
"Including what he smokes, all figured out"
"All figured out!" she starts to sing
"I'll know when my love comes along.
I won't take a chance,
For, oh, he'll be just what I need
Not some fly by night Broadway romance"
"And you'll know at a glance
By the two pair of pants!" Sky adds singing.
"Yes, I'll know..." she glares at him
"By that calm steady voice,
Those feet on the ground
I'll know
As I run to his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound
Until then I shall wait,
Until then I'll be strong!
For I'll know when my love comes along..."
"No, no, no," Sky said standing up "you're talking about love!
You can't dupe it like that! vulgarize
What are you picking, a guy or a horse?"
"Oh, I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand."
"Would you like to hear what a gambler feels about the big heart trap?"
"No!"
"But I'll tell ya!
Mine will come as a surprise to me!
Mine, I leave to chance in chemistry"
"CHEMISTRY?" Sarah said surprised
"Yeah, chemistry!" he starts to sing
"I'll know...
When my love comes along
I'll know...
I'll know then and there...
I'll know...
At the sight of her face
How I care, how I care, how I care...
And I'll stop!
And I'll stare
And I'll know...
Long before we can speak!
And I'll know in my heart.
And I'll know and I won't ever ask
Am I right? Am I wise? Am I smart?'
And I'll stop, and I'll stare at that face in the throng
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along"
As he is singing Sarah becomes entranced. She starts to slowly walk towards him. She sings.
"I'll know
When my love comes along."
"When my love comes along." Sang Sky.
"I'll know when my love comes along.
I won't take a chance,
For, oh, he'll be just what I need
Not some fly by night Broadway romance
Until the, I shall wait
Until then, I'll be strong
I'll know when my love comes along..."
Sky kisses Sarah. She stands there for a few second locked in his embrace, but then she pulls away and slaps him.
"I'll come back later" Sky said putting his hat back on "and let you have a go at the other cheek."
Backstage during that song Ginny was talking to Willa.
"are you sure Ginny?" Willa said looking confused and exited at the same time.
"Yes I'm sure. So just keep him detracted."
