Freida's Big Score Chapter 13, a peanuts fanfic

CHAPTER 13: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREIDA

It didn't take too long for Alice and Randy to finally make it to the airport and board their plane on time,whether or not it was due to the strict time limit they had or them just blazing their way through the airport as fast as they could,they were ultimately able to get themselves settled in their seats a mere twenty minutes before take off. Freida had also managed to make it back to Fillmore Street without any hurdles getting in the way due to there still being light out combined with her needing to see Charlie Brown at his place that evening to see what he wanted,as well as just seeing her boyfriend again after being away for as long as she was.

Pretty soon the airplane was packed to the brim with passengers and looking like it was ready to take off at any moment,Randy had decided to use this time to kick his seat back and take a nap while he listened to some tunes on his headphones,and Alice could only look out her window and think about her upcoming role as a singer,even if she didn't end up getting picked by the judges and higher ups for the record deal,at the very least she would have been able to have participated. After a few more moments of silent contemplation the plane suddenly started to move forward at a snail's pace as Alice leaned back and took a deep breath before she decided to say a prayer,all while Freida slowly walked up to Charlie Brown's front door.

Alice:

Take me to heaven.

Take me to paradise.

Receive my humble prayer.

The faith that I bear.

Accept my sacrifice.

Take all my heart and soul.

My joy and love.

I am ready,sweet lord above.

The very second Freida opened up the unlocked front door of the Brown residence,she was instantly greeted by the sight of her entire circle of friends, Snoopy, Woodstock, Gracie, Roger, Olaf, Andy, Faron, Amy, Jasper, Herman and even her parents wearing party hats and smiles in front of a giant birthday cake as they all shouted at the top of their lungs "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREIDA!" before time started to gradually slow down for Freida while a grin slowly started to form on her face.

Freida's Thoughts:

I've got my friends by my side.

I've got my family's love and pride.

And with my soulmate here,I have no fear I'm right where I should be.

And with my friends in my heart.

I know we'll never be apart.

And no one on this Earth can change that fact.

My brave friends.

My sweet friends.

My strong friends.

All my loving friends.

I'm part of one terrific friendship act.

Once time finally seemed to catch up to Freida,her ears were once again assaulted by the thunderous cheers and roaring applause everyone was giving her as they all clanked mugs of root beer and started dancing to some tunes thanks to PigPen playing the role of DJ,all while Freida smiled and happily exclaimed with tears in her eyes as Charlie Brown walked up to her "Oh my gosh! What is this?!" to which the girl's boyfriend happily explained in response "It's a birthday party sweetie,I was setting this whole thing up while you were gone."

"Really?! Oh you're amazing baby!" cheered Freida out of pure joy and excitement as she and Charlie Brown embraced and kissed each other before the latter chuckled and smugly continued while the couple walked onto the makeshift dance floor "That ain't the only surprise for the night,I saved a special dance just for you combined with a dinner reservation after the party." to which the curly haired girl wiped some of the tears from her eyes and cheerfully pleaded "Never Charlie Brown,never change." It was at this moment that PigPen noticed that the couple was getting ready to dance as he decided to swap out the currently playing record with a more fitting one while he enthusiastically announced "Listen up couples! This little jam right here is gonna be a special dance for all the love birds in the crowd,including me." before he proceeded to join Sidney down on the floor along with all the other couples including Sally and Michael, Joysln and Maynard, Linus and Eudora, Marcie and Franklin, Ed and Rebecca, James and Christine, Peppermint Patty and Franco, Claudia and Skylar, Lucy and Scheroder, Violet and Shermy, Patty Swanson and Ox, Rattler and Thibualt, Cobra and Dominick, Krissy and Red, Snoopy and Gracie and of course Charlie Brown and Freida.

Just a small town girl,livin' in a lonely world.

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere.

Just a city boy,born and raised in South Detroit.

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere.

A singer in a smoky room.

A smell of wine and cheap perfume.

For a smile they can share the night,it goes on and on and on and on.

Strangers waiting,up and down the boulevard.

Their shadows searching in the night.

Streetlights people,living just to find emotion.

Hiding somewhere in the night.

Working hard to get my fill,everybody wants a thrill.

Payin' anything to roll the dice,just one more time.

Some will win,some will lose.

Some were born to sing the blues.

Oh the movie never ends,it goes on and on and on and on.

Strangers waiting,up and down the boulevard.

Their shadows searching in the night.

Streetlights people,living just to find emotion.

Hiding somewhere in the night.

Don't stop believin'.

Hold on to the feelin'.

Streetlights people.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Don't stop believin'.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Streetlights people.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Don't stop belevin'.

Hold on to the feelin'.

Streetlights people.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
