Bloo To The Future
Chapter 4 – The Prom
It was 7:30pm, and Mac was waiting outside with Bloo. Mac was wearing a white shirt, with a red tie and a brown jacket. He was also in black pants and shoes.
'This is stupid. How is this going to help me?'
'Don't worry, Mac. I got a guy who'll fall for your mum, hook line and sinker! Just remember what we planned out and everything will be fine.' He then saw Mac's mum's car pull up. 'You're on your own, buddy!' He then jumped behind a bush.
As his mum walked out of the car, Mac gasped. She was dressed in the most beautiful pink dress you would ever see. Her hair was down, and she was wearing purple earrings. He blushed, as he remembered seeing Frankie in a similar outfit.
'Ready?'
'I guess so.'
They walked towards the local school gym. Inside was full of other teens with their partners, and up on stage was a band. At this, Mac decided not to wait any longer.
'Could you wait here for a sec?'
'Sure.' Mac then bolted towards the stage. The band had stopped playing at this point, but then they saw Mac running towards the leader. He then whispered something in his ear. The leader then turned to his other members and asked them for the song Mac suggested. As they started, Mac ran down the stage and back to his mum.
'What were you doing, boy?'
'I was just requesting a song.'
The song turned out to be My Girl by The Temptations. As the leader started singing, Frankie saw something from the corner of her eye. She could make out who the guy was, but Mac couldn't. Paying no attention to Mac, she ran over to the guy. Then, Bloo came out from a door behind him. Mac turned to see him.
'I think your plan worked.'
'Well, of course it did. It only takes a motown song and a hunky guy to make Frankie forget about you.'
As the band finished, Mac then thought of another idea. He ran up to the stage and asked the leader something. Bloo couldn't make it out though. The leader then handed Mac the guitar and microphone. The leader then asked the others that this was Mac's turn.
'I'd like to perform a song for you. I'm not sure if you're ready for it yet… but your kids are going to love it.'
The Power of Love
by Huey Lewis & The News
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, Mmmm make a wrong one right
Power of love will keep you home at night.
Don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
First time you feel it might make you sad
Next time you feel it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power that makes the world go round
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it
SOLO
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel it until you feel
You feel the power, feel the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
As he finished, the crowd started cheering. He smiled, knowing that his mum and himself was safe.
He and Bloo went out the door, when they were stopped by his mum.
'I just wanna thank you for everything. I never thought there was another guy out there for me.'
'Well, just be glad that you made the right choice.'
'Yeah. Where are you going?'
'We've gotta go. We're… not from this town. We're here just for a holiday.'
'Oh… well, so long.' She then kissed him on the cheek again. She then ran back inside. Bloo started to walk back, when he saw Mac not moving. He then slapped him again.
