Yea yea, took too long- but I have a good excuse! It was my birthday two days ago, and I got my learner's permit (finally!). Now, just so you know, normally I plan out what I'm gonna write, but this one is TOTALLY off the top of my head, so enjoy!
E Liu and Chien Po sit across from each other in front of the fire.
E Liu is cooking some rice and Chien Po is watching.
The two look up at each other for a moment, and their eyes link, creating a somewhat 'cosmic moment' between them.
E Liu looks back down at the rice and Chien Po frowns sadly for a moment.
Chien Po stands up.
Chien Po: I'll go get some more firewood.
E Liu merely nods, keeping her eyes on the rice.
Suddenly, we hear yelling and laughing in the forest, and Lee and Ling come crashing through the trees and into Chien Po.
Lee bounces over across from E Liu in a sitting position.
Lee: So, what's for dinner?
Our group sits around the fire, eating dinner.
Around the circle in a counterclockwise pattern: Chien Po, Yao, Shuai, Ling, E Liu and Lee.
Lee:(To Ling) Hey, pass the carrots, would ya Ding-A-Ling?
Yao's eyes bolt open.
Ling smirks and passes the bowl of carrots to her.
Yao: Excuse us for a moment.
He grabs Ling by the neck and pulls him into the forest.
Yao: She gave you a nickname?
Ling: What?
Yao: That whole 'Ding-A-Ling' thing.
Ling: What are you talking about?
Yao: If she gave you a nickname, it means she obviously likes you!
Ling: But Ding-A-Ling's not a nickname- it's an insult.
Yao: Well, you don't seem to mind Lee insulting you so much.
Ling: That's because she's not really insulting me, it's more of a, of a…
Yao: A nickname?
Ling opens his mouth to say something, but realizes Yao's right, and begins to pace.
Yao: Come on Ling, I was right about you liking her. What makes you think I'm wrong about her liking you?
Ling: Because you've known me since we were kids! You've only known Lee for a day!
Yao: I've only known Shuai for a day and I already known everything about her.
Ling: What's her full name?
Yao: Ruan Ran Shuai.
Ling: Favorite color?
Yao: Green.
Ling: Favorite thing in the world?
Yao: Besides me? Well, that would be flowers, summer rain, and baby pigs.
Ling puts his face against a tree and groans in frustration.
Ling: It's me, isn't it? I'm totally clueless!
Yao: You're not totally clueless Ling, you're just, well….Yea, I guess you are totally clueless.
Ling: Gee, thanks.
He starts to go down the path.
Yao: Hey, where ya goin'?
Ling: I just need to clear my head.
Yao: That shouldn't be too hard.
Yao chuckles as he heads back to the others.
Ling: Harder than you'll ever know.
Ling climbs up a short, rocky hill and sits on a ledge facing the lake.
He unties a red scarf from around his neck and looks at it for a moment.
The scarf is the same as Lee's, only it bears the symbol for 'Qi'.
Ling sighs, and ties the scarf around his neck again, only this time so it goes over his shirt.
(The rest is sung, unless otherwise specified).
Ling: When did I get to be so dumb?
I used to know what I was doing!
Lee seems to think all men are scum,
But maybe that's why she's so worth pursuing.
There's just something about her,
And I can't quite place what that could be,
My mind just seems to be a blur
Sorry Yao, but I have to disagree,
Even though I'm in love with Lee
There's no way that she'd like me
When I first saw her, it left me in a trance
Yea, she might like me to some degree
But love, oh no, and so I see
That for me it's love at first glance.
We cut to Lee, walking out into the forest.
E Liu runs after her.
E Liu:(Spoken) Lee, where're you goin?
Lee merely shrugs and walks down the path.
Lee: Ling seems different, and I wonder why?
Could it be something I did?
I tell you he is one complex guy,
And I'm just a stupid little kid.
I may be pretty smart
But in matters of the heart
I know absolutely nothing of romance
But if I do my part,
And stay away from this black art,
I won't have to deal with love at first glance.
Though both in different places, Lee and Ling sing together now.
Ling: Because of love I'm a wreck
Lee: Love is a pain in the neck
Ling: Can't get her off my mind
Lee: I've been left behind
Why is it so complex?
Ling: I don't know what comes next
Lee: Could it be true?
Ling/Lee: Is she/he in love with you?
Though I may be clueless
There's no need to obsess
If she/he really likes me for who I am
But we've made no progress
And I can't take this stress!
Man this love thing really is a scam!
There's no doubt about it
I know that I have found it
If I maybe give it just one more chance
Why can't I just admit
That this seems legit?
And maybe it really is true love at first glance.
Okay, it took me only half an hour to write this song, and NOW IT'S MY FAVOURITE! I hope it's your favorite too, let me know what you think!
