A/N: Yo! Yo! Yo! My home dawgs! This is DJ MBAV fan66, bringing you another far out tune! Lol!
So, this songfic request comes from my fanfic buddy, TiredOfBeingNice, who also requested it to be a Benny one about his parents deaths. So, you all can expect this one to be a sad, but yet also very heartwarming songfic as well. Lol!
So, here's a little insight into the song that's gonna be used. First of all, it's from the musical "Evita". And secondly, the artist that I'm putting down is the one who recorded the song, but she wasn't the one who actually sung it in the musical. So, yeah! Just a little bit of info for ya there. Lol!
Shout outs:
LoveShipper- Yep! He still won over Sarah's heart! Even if it did cost him some of his dignity. Lol! And now for chapter 25's review, I know! Right?! It's basically just two people who live together, is all.
TiredOfBeingNice- Just couldn't resist to wait and read it later, huh? Lol! It's ok! I'm the same way when I hear my phone alert me that I have a new email notification and when I check it I see that it's about a new chapter for a fanfic, I get all excited and just can't wait to start reading it! Lol! Maybe you should just leave the creepy wide grinning to the Cheshire Cat. Lol! Chapter 25's review, yeah...I probably should've started with that one first so the other one could make up for all the saddness in it. Lol! I'm glad that you really liked it. And sorry for killing off Benny...again. Lol!
GleekForever- Ok! Got it! Thanks! Lol! Hmm...I'll see what I can do. Lol!

Songfic #26
Song: Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Artist: Julie Covington
Pairing: Benny
Benny sat up in his room looking rather sad and depressed looking. He was feeling this way because it was the 5th anniversary of the day his parents both died. Even though it's been 5 years since that tragic day, he still always got emotional on that day. And on each and every year that day had came rolling around once again, Benny would always just be up in his room listening to the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" every time. It was sort of like a tradition that he did to honor their memory because it was his mother's favorite song and she used to sing it to him each and every night, when she would tuck him in at night when he was little.
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
She told him the reason why she loved this song so much was because that's were she had met his father for the first time at, at a muscial called "Evita" and she soon fell in love with him at first sight. So, it's kind of like their song together and now it was her's and Benny's song together, too.
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
He remembered how one time, when he was six, how his parents were getting ready to go out to see the musical at Whitechapel's Concert Hall Theatre one night, and how he threw such a big fit over not being able to go with them. So, feeling sorry for him and for wanting to spend some time with their son as a family, they called up his grandma and told her not to come over to babysit tonight because they were just gonna stay in tonight and have a little quality time with Benny.
That made little Benny very happy, even he didn't get to see the play. In truth all he really wanted was just to get to spend some time together as a family. So, instead they wound up playing board games and watching movies together. Then suddenly his father started to play the melody to "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" on the the piano that they had in the living room. And catching his hint, his mother smiled brightly as she started to sing the lyrics to the song beautifully. Benny was amazed by this and started to clap and cheer and soon began to hum along with her the best he could as he swayed along to the melody.
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
His mother then took him in her arms and they danced around the room together smiling and laughing happily. Little Benny soon fell asleep by the time the song was over, so they decided that it was time take their little boy to bed. As his mom laid him down to sleep, that's when he asked in a groggy state that if she'd sing him that song every night to him before bedtime. She smiled fondly at him and placed a small kiss on his head telling him 'sure'. Then the groggy Benny smiled back at her before soon falling back to sleep.
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
Benny smiled at that memory because that was the very first time that he ever heard his mom sing the song before and hearing his dad play it on the piano, as well. And ever since then, she sung it each and every night for him. Even whenever he got scared, she would still sing it for him to comfort him, as his dad stood there admiring the wonderful sight of his wife being a mother to their darling little boy together. He would sometimes hum the tune for her as she sang along to it in perfect harmony.
All through my wild days
Mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Eight year old little Benny had awoken one night from a terrible nightmare and was scared. So, he snuck into his parents bedroom, where they were both sleeping and woke them up asking if it was ok if he slept with them for the night. They both smiled fondly at their son and had him crawl up in between them, snuggling close to them. He then asked if his mom could sing him that song she sings to him every night. She did and he soon began to feel more relaxed now and eventually fell asleep in his dad's arms. He removed his arms from around Benny to lay him down and they both kissed him goodnight, as they too went back to sleep.
And as for the fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
A tear fell from Benny's eye, as he wiped it away with his hand and smiled as he looked over at a happy family picture of them together. Oh, how he missed those days and wished that he got to spend more of them with them together. They always did tell him how if anything bad ever happens to them that they'd still always be there for him, watching over him in heaven. And he always believed that, but it still didn't change how he felt. How he wished that they could still be alive to see him graduate or when he starts a family of his own. To see all of the amazing accomplishments that he'll achieve in the future, some day.
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina...
But he still always cried at them never getting to see those things happen to him or how he'll never get to see their smiling faces or get to feel their warm and loving embraces again. He knew how much they loved him and he loved them too. That's why he always got so down on this day each year and would always cry. They were his everything to him, just as he was to theirs. So, he couldn't help but to cry every time he played this song for them on the anniversary day of their deaths.
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
And even though that they're gone, he still always felt somehow that they were still here with him. As if they were paying him a visit, to comfort the poor boy who they've comforted with this song so many times before in the past as a child. So, in a way he didn't really feel all that sad, but happy a little bit too. Knowing that not even death can keep them from comforting their son when he needed it most from his beloved parents. And everytime he heard this song, it always reminded him of that and made him feel a little bit more closer to him. As if they still right here with him, now.
As Benny fell asleep just before the song could finish, a shimmering white light shone in through the window from the moon. And in the light appeared two figures, one female and one male, standing there at his bed side smiling as they looked at their sleeping son in his bed, lovingly with the male's arm wrapped around his wife as she sang the final verse.
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true
Sung the female figure in her heavenly voice, as she brushed a few strands of hair from her wonderful darling little boy's eyes and kissed him goodnight on his forehead, which earned her a warm sleepy smile from Benny.
"We love you Benny. And always will. Never forget that, my sweet baby boy." spoke the female in a soft and loving voice.
As they both stood there watching him sleep fondly, they soon began to slowly fade away in the shimmering white light that surrounded them.
A/N: So! TiredOfBeingNice! How was that for you?! Hope that you liked it. I originally had a different idea as what to do, but then this idea came to me and I liked it way better. Lol! Sorry, if it seemed to focus a little more on Benny's mom than it did on both of them, but I did try to add in there his father too, to make it more of a family thing. Lol!
So, with that! Please review and tell me what you thought or felt reading this. Lol! For me? I got a little teary eyed. Lol!
Until next time, this is DJ MBAV fan66 saying, SEEEEE YAAAAAY! Lol!
