Yes, this is late and I do apologise, I also apologise if it's below par. My muse has been acting up lately. I won't change much anyway, as I think this is a beautiful song (the solo parts, anyway) and shouldn't be tampered with too much.

Act 9 - A tear to shed
&&&&
Still mad at Scott, Rogue finally stops in an alleyway. She sits on a coffin bench with a sad sigh, looking through the flowers in her bouquet.
"Roses, for eternal love", she mutters, "Lilies for sweetness. Baby's Breath"
"What an ironic flower arrangement", comments Pyro.
She tosses the flowers aside as Wanda dangles from a web to by her head.
"Why so blue?"
"That's Kurt, Hnak and Mystique", says Pyro helpfully, "Rogue's colour of choice is green. Say it with me. Gre-een"
"Maybe he's right", says Rogue, "Maybe we are too different"
"Maybe he should have his head examined", says Todd's voice form in her head as she yanks him out of her ear, "I could do it"
"A world of no", says Scott from backstage.
"Oh perhaps he does belong with her", says Rogue, adding snidely, "Little Miss Living, with her rosy cheeks and beating heart"
"Little Miss Living, from all good retailers this spring", announced Pyro, "Heartbeat not included"
"Oh, those girls are ten a penny!", says Wanda, "You've got so much more. You've got…you've got…"
Wanda considers this for a moment.
"You've got a wonderful personality!"
"……A cup of arsenic, please", says Rogue.
"CHEER UP MUSIC, AHOY!", shouts Pyro.
What does that wispy little brat have
That you don't have double?, sings Todd.
She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile, sings Wanda, "Oh Gods, I think I'm going to vomit"
"How about a pulse?", asks Rogue.
Overrated by a mile
Overvalued
Overblown
"Over the rainbow!", says Pyro.
If he only knew the you that we know, Todd and Wanda sing together.
"We make beautiful music together, Honeybunch", smiles Todd.
"Back. Off", snarls Wanda, walking over to Rogue's hand, holding it up.
And that silly little creature
Isn't wearing his ring
And she doesn't play piano
Or dance
Or sing
No she doesn't compare
"But she still breathes air", mutters Rogue.
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
"Over balanced!", grins Pyro.
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know
Rogue looks away sadly getting up, beginning to sing a much less happy song.
If I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
"Me either!", says Pyro, "Lets get married!"
If you cut me with a knife
It's still the same
"No, that's Logan", adds Pyro.
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
And it seems that I still have
A tear to shed
She sinks down to sit on a step, as Wanda dangles from a web by her held, Todd clinging on for dear maggoty life.
"Momma", he whimpers.
The sole redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive
Overrated
Overblown
"Over Easy!", shouts Pyro.
Everybody knows
That's a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly
When we meet our fate
Rahne walks over, the bouquet in her mouth.
"I am NOT playing fetch anymore", she growls, "If you want it, why throw it away in the first place?!"
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
"Overdrawn!", giggles Pyro.
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know
Rogue twangs Wanda, so she and Todd shoot off up the web.
"Only trying to heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp", yelps Todd.
Rogue ignores them, going back to lie on the coffin bench.
If I touch a burning candle
I can fee no pain
In the ice or in the sun
It's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat
It's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
Though I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have
A tear to shed
Todd and Wanda leave her to her emo moping.
"Wow, that took up an entire chapter, and it's had very little work done in it", says Pyro, "TF needs sacking, I tell you, who am I working with here? I want my agent!"
&&&&
Umm. Yeah, Pyro…agent. Anyway, that's it for now, yes, I know it is crap, but alas, my mojo has not returned, if you see it, give it a clack and send it home. Do review. Until next time…
