Gladys stared at the ghost, who floated over to her bed.
"What are you?"
"I am the ghost of Christmas Past." He said.
"Get out of here. I want to go to sleep!"
"Okay, then...I guess I'm just gonna have to stay here and sing Rocket Man!"(I hate that one when Shatner sings it)
"She
packed by bag last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And
I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I
miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in
space
On such a timeless flight
And I think
it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round
again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no
no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up
here alone
Mars
ain't the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact, it's cold
as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And
all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job
Five
days a week
A Rocket Man
Rocket Man
And I think
it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round
again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no
no...
And I think
it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round
again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no
no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up
here alone
And
I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be
a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
Long,
long, time
Long, long, time
Ah,
no, no, no...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."
By now, Gladys ears were covered.
"Okay, okay! I'll go!"
"I knew you'd see things my way."
Gladys suddenly floated into the air, and the room around her vanished...
Gladys appeared in a street, and it was snowing outside.
Kids ran around, playing with their new toys.
"That's you." The Possum said, pointing to a little girl who was opening one of her new presents.
The girl opened it up, and pulled out a toy puppy.
"What? But I wanted a real puppy!"
The girl began crying, and then grew angry, and ripped the toy to pieces.
"You wanted a puppy back then," the Possum said.
"I should have gotten one..."
"Now, let's go ahead a few years, shall we?"
The world around them vanished again...
