CHAPTER FOURTEEN
(chapter title – Over the Moon)

Christopher, Sara, Ally and Mark entered the Performance Space and instantly looked for Joanne or Tiffany.

"There she is!" Ally spotted Tiffany towards the front of the stage. Joanne was up on the balcony, fixing lights and getting everything ready just as Hannah was just walking in the door. Christopher handed Mark to Sara and walked over to Hannah.

"Hannah, baby, I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was out of line." Christopher told her, looking down at the ground.

"It's okay." She took in a deep breath. "Christopher, I have to tell you something. Imastripperataclubcalledthe-" she was cut off by Roger putting a hand on Christopher's shoulder.

"Maureen's protest is starting. C'mon." he told the two teenagers. Together, the three of them headed to the Performance Space. She was protesting against Benny tearing down the Life Café to build a Cyber studio.

"Last night I had a dream
I found myself in a desert called Cyber land. It was hot.
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said, 'I'm forbidden to produce milk. In
Cyber land, we only drink ... Diet Coke (Diet Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke).
She said, 'Only thing to do is jump over the moon.'
They've closed everything real down ...
like barns and troughs and performance spaces ...
and replaced it all with lies and
rules and virtual life (Life, life, life).
But there is a way out...'

Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith

'Only thing to do is jump over the moon'
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith

I gotta get outta here
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck,
being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a
cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse.

I've gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta

Gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta ...
Gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta
Find a way to jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith." Just then, Benny entered with a chief of police. Hannah ducked down behind Christopher – she did not want her father to see her at the protest. Maureen signaled to Joanne to put the spotlight on Benny. He shielded his eyes and looked in Christopher's direction, thinking that he saw Hannah.

"Then a little bulldog entered.
His name (we have learned) was Benny.
And although he once had
Principles, he abandoned them to live as a lap dog
To a wealthy daughter of the revolution.
1,2,3, 'That's bull,' he said.
"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle that cow's been jumpy
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped
She's had trouble with her milk and that moon ever since.
Maybe it's a female thing, 'cause who'd wanna leave
Cyber land anyway? Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and the spoon for instance, they're down on their luck,
they come knockin' on
my doghouse door.
And I say 'Not in my backyard, utensils!
Go back to China'!" Be De Bah!
"The only way out is up" Elsie whispered to me
"A leap of faith. Still thirsty?"
PARCHED (parched, parched, parched, parched)
"Have some milk"
And I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder
and I sucked the sweetest milk I had ever tasted
"Climb on board" she said.
And as a harvest moon rose over Cyber land
We reared back
We sprang into a gallop
Leaping out of orbit!

I awoke singing

Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Only thing to do
Only thing to do is jump
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Over the moon
Over the ... Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with me
Please sir could you give me a little Moo?
Moo yes!
Moo YES!
Moo with me!
Moooooooo
Moo!
Yes Moo with me!
Yes it sounds beautiful!
Moo!
Let me hear you New York City!
Thank you!" Maureen encouraged everyone to Moo with her. That's when the trouble began – someone threw a bottle at the stage, narrowly missing Maureen.

"Shit!" Roger muttered. Getting his family out of there, he led them to the nearest exit.

"Wait!" Tiffany called. A cop had grabbed her, forcing her on the wall. Blood trickled down her cheek.

"TIFFANY!" Maureen and Joanne screamed at the same time. Maureen jumped off the stage and attended to her daughter. Shooing the cops away, she carefully laid Tiffany on the ground, using her coat as a pillow for Tiffany's head.

"Is she okay?" Roger asked, running to Joanne's side.

"She should be." Joanne told him, not taking her eyes off of Tiffany.

"Let's go!" Kaitlin called from the doorway. Roger carefully picked Tiffany up and carried her out of the Performance Space. Joanne and Maureen followed Roger out of the chaotic scene and to a quieter place.
