Chapter Six
Alone Together

It's a few months later now.
Deedee is sitting on the floor of Doodlebop Central when Rooney comes in.
Rooney notices Deedee than he goes over and sits down next to her.
"What's wrong with you?" Rooney asks.
"It's mine and Moe's 6 month anniversary but I think he forgot." Deedee answers.
All of sudden jazzy music starts playing and Mazz appears.
"Don't be so quick to say things like that." Mazz says.
"What do you mean?" Rooney asks.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you because it's a secret." Mazz answers.
Moe comes skipping into Doodlebop Central.
"Why are you so happy?" Rooney asks.
"Um…I just am that's not a crime is it." Moe answers.
"No it's not a crime." Rooney says.
Deedee sniffs a little than sudden starts bawling.
"What's her problem?" Moe asks.
"She thinks that you forgot what today is." Rooney answers.
"Well she's in for a big surprise." Moe says.
All of sudden there's a knock at the door.
Rooney walks over and opens the door to find a young man standing there.
"What can I help you with?" Rooney asks.
"I have a parcel here for a Deedee Doodle." The guy answers.
Deedee jumps off the couch and runs over to the door.
"That's me." Deedee says.
"Could you sign this?" the guy asks.
"Yeah sure I can." Deedee answers.
"Thanks so much." The guy says.
The guy gives Deedee a clipboard.
Deedee signs for the parcel.
The guy passes Deedee the parcel and than he leaves.
Deedee walks over to the couch than puts her parcel on her lap and takes the card off the top.
Deedee opens the note and reads it.
"Who's MY?" Deedee asks.
"I don't know…maybe it's supposed be someone's initials." Rooney answers.
"Who do I know with the initials MY?" Deedee asks.
"I know one person." Rooney answers.
Deedee thinks for a minute than looks over at Moe.
Moe is sitting on the steps.
Deedee gets up than walks over to Moe and sits down next to him.
"Are you MY?" Deedee asks.
Moe nods his head.
"Yeah I am." Moe answers.
The parcel starts moving.
"What's in this parcel?" Deedee asks.
"Open it and you'll find out." Moe answers.
Rooney sighs.
Deedee opens the parcel and a puppy jumps out at her.
"Oh…it's so cute." Deedee says.
Moe smiles.
Deedee puts the puppy down on the floor of Doodlebop Central than pulls Moe close and kisses him.
A few minutes later they break apart.
"Do you like your present?" Moe asks.
"Yeah I do thanks so much and I've always wanted a puppy but there's just one thing wrong I don't know what to call it." Deedee answers.
"I don't either sorry." Moe says.
Keely sudden appears and looks at Moe.
"Do you know what it is?" Keely asks.
"It's a male." Moe answers.
"Okay than I have a name for him." Keely says.
Deedee looks at Keely.
"What's your name for my puppy?" Deedee asks.
"I think you should call him Moses after your boyfriend." Keely answers.
"Hm…I really like that name so it's going to be his name." Deedee says.
"I'm so glad that I could help you." Keely replies.
Keely starts walking towards the door and tear falls down her cheek.
Moe notices the tear falling down Keely's cheek so he goes to where she is.
"What's wrong?" Moe asks.
"I don't want to talk about it." Keely answers.
"Why not?" Moe asks.
"I just don't okay." Keely answers.
"Does it have anything do with me?" Moe asks.
"No it doesn't." Keely answers.
"Well it's not hard to see that the reason that you are upset is because you're in love with someone." Moe says.
Keely stares at Moe.
"How did you know that was bothering me?" Keely asks.
"It's simple because you have it written all your face." Moe answers.
"Um…okay than since you figure it out than I guess I have no choice but to tell the truth." Keely says.
"Who is it that you love?" Moe asks.
Keely leans over so that she is right at Moe's ear.
"It's…um…Rooney." Keely answers in whisper.
"Hm…I kind of figure that." Moe says.
"Yeah…um…I guess it is kind of obvious." Keely replies.
Moe walks back to Deedee and sits next to her.
Deedee sighs.
"What's wrong?" Moe asks.
"I was thinking that we need a special song that suits how we feel about each other." Deedee answers.
Moe smiles.
"Do you have any in mind?" Moe asks.
"Yeah I have a few." Deedee answers.
Deedee switches on the CD player and the first song starts to play
Have you ever seen the sky?
So beautiful, colorful
wide and wonderful
Have you ever felt the sunshine?
So brilliantly, raining down
Over you and me.
Have you ever wanted more?
Wanted more?
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities,
you've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see...
Think of all the days you've wasted
worrying, wondering
hopelessly hoping.
Think of all the time ahead
Don't hesitate, contemplate no it's not to late.
Have you ever wanted more?
Don't you know there's so much more?
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities,
you've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see...
Tomorrow's horizons,
full of surprises,
don't let them chase your dreams away!
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see
believe in what you see
believe in what you see
Moe smiles again.
"Next one" Moe says.
Deedee turns the CD player to next song.
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darlin'
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning an eternal flame?
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, ohhh..
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
Then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, ohhh..
Close your eyes, give me your hand,
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame x2?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand (your hand), darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating? (do you understand?)
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming? (dreaming)
Is this burning an eternal flame? (aah)
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin' (oh ohh oh)
Do you feel my heart beating (do you understand)
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming (dreaming)
Is this burning an eternal flame (aah)
Moe shakes his head than Deedee switches the song again.
Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists and pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching discovering you
Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer nights
Secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness soft spoken words
Say say it again
I love you always forever
Near and far closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
You've got the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness a magical time
Say say it again
Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop not for whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop not for whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop not for whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love love me forever
Never stop not for whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Deedee sighs than switches to the next song.
We're soaring, flying,
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
If we're trying,
So we're breaking free.
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are,
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts.
But your faith, it gives me strength,
The strength to believe.
We're breaking free, (we're soaring,) flying,
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
If we're trying,
Yeah we're breaking free.
Can you feel it building,
Like a wave the ocean just can't control?
Connected by a feeling,
Ooh, in our very souls, (very souls, ooh-ooh.)
Rising 'til it lifts us up,
So everyone can see
We're breaking free, (we're soaring,) flying,
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
If we're trying,
Yeah we're breaking free, (we're breaking free, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.)
Running, climbing
To get to that place to be all that we can be.
Now's the time,
So we're breaking free, (we're breaking free.)
More than hope, more than faith,
This is truth, this is fate,
And together we see it coming.
More than you, more than me,
Not a want, but a need,
Both of us breaking free!
Soaring, flying,
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
If we're trying,
So we're breaking free, (oh, we're breaking free, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.)
We're running, ooh-climbing
To get to that place to be all that we can be.
Now's the time, (now's the time,)
So we're breaking free, (we're breaking free.)
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are.
Moe takes the remote and switches the CD to the next song.
Living in my own world,
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance.
I never believed in
What I couldn't see,
I never opened my heart, (oh-oh)
To all the possibilities, ooh.
I know that something has changed, never felt this way,
And right here tonight
This could be the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, (oh-oh.)
And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, (feel in my heart)
The start of something new.
(Ooh, yeah.)
Now who'd have ever thought that, (mm)
We'd both be here tonight? (Ooh-ooh, yeah.)
And the world looks so much brighter, (brighter, brighter)
With you by my side, (by my side.)
I know that something has changed, never felt this way!
I know it's for real.
This could be the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, (oh-oh!)
And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, (feel in my heart)
The start of something new.
I never knew that I could happen 'til it happened to me, (oh-oh-oh, yeah.)
I didn't know it before, but now it's easy to see, (oh-oh!)
It's the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, (oh-oh.)
And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, (feel in my heart)
That it's the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, (oh-oh.)
And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, (feel in my heart)
The start of something new,
The start of something new,
The start of something new.
Moe switches the song again.
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret.
Deedee switches the song.
Can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
Moe switches the song once more.
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
and the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again.
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
and it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me.
I believe in you
You know you're the door to my very soul.
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
and it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
La da da da da, la da da da da da da da da da da
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
and it's me you need to show
How deep is your love.
"Which one do you like?" Deedee asks.
"I like the sixth one." Moe answers.
"Yeah me too." Deedee says.
"What's the name of it?" Moe asks.
Deedee looks at the paper of the songs on the CD.
"It's called "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon" Deedee answers.
"Alright from now on it's our song." Moe says.
Deedee smiles than lays her head on Moe's shoulder.
Rooney sudden appears with a big suitcase.
"Whare are you going?" Moe asks.
"I'm going to visit my family for a few days." Rooney answers.
"Oh cool." Moe says.
Rooney walks over to the door than opens it and leaves.
All of sudden they hear Mazz scat talking than she appears next to them.
"How are you doing?" Mazz asks.
"We are doing okay." Deedee answers.
"I came to tell you something." Mazz says.
"What is it?" Moe asks.
"Bob and I need sometime for ourselves because since we started going out we haven't had much time for us." Mazz answers.
Mudge sticks his head out of the mirror.
"Um..Murph and I are going on trip together." Mudge says.
Moe grins to himself.
"Hm…this is so great because I finally get sometime to be alone with my beautiful Dee." Moe thinks to himself.
Deedee looks at Moe and she can tell that he's thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" Deedee asks.
"You'll find out later." Moe answers.
Deedee sits on the couch and Moe joins her.
Mudge and Murph leave too.
Bob comes into Doodlebop Central.
Mazz takes his hand and they leave.
"Come with me." Moe says.
Moe starts heading towards the studio and Deedee follows him.
"Are you going to tell me what you were thinking about earlier?" Deedee asks.
"I can do better than that." Moe answers.
Deedee scratches her head.
"Um…I don't get it." Deedee says.
Moe walks over to Deedee than pulls her into his arms and starts kissing her.
Deedee gasps.
Moe breaks the kisses and they go into the clubhouse again.
Deedee smiles a little.
They sit on the couch and Moe starts kissing Deedee again.
Moe stops kissing Deedee again than takes the CD player remote and turns it on to song 3.
"Wanna sing me with?" Moe asks.
"Yeah of course." Deedee answers.
Moe: Have you ever seen such a beautiful night
Deedee: I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
Moe: When I see you smiling I'd go oh, oh, oh
Deedee: I would never want to miss this
Moe: In my heart I know what this is
Deedee: This is what dreams are made of
Moe: This is what dreams are made of
Deedee: I've got
Both: Somewhere I belong
Deedee: I've got
Both: Somebody to love
Deedee: This is what
Both: Dreeeeems
Deedee: are made of
Deedee smiles than hugs Moe.
Mr. Mooshead isn't hanging on the wall anymore.
Deedee stretches a little.
Moe sits on the couch than pulls Deedee down beside him and starts kissing.
A few minutes later Moe starts deepen his kisses.
Deedee pulls away.
"What do you think you're doing?" Deedee asks.
"Um…kissing you." Moe answers.
"Those weren't your normal kisses and I don't think we should be doing this because it's wrong." Deedee says.
"No it's not because we love each other." Moe replies.
"What about the conquesence?" Deedee asks.
"If anything happens we can deal with it together." Moe answers.
"Um…there's also a reason why it's wrong." Deedee says.
"What reason is that?" Moe asks.
"You're only 18 years old and that's too young." Deedee answers.
"I wish everyone would stop treating me like a kid because I'm not one anymore!" Moe yells.
Deedee giggles a little.
"That's true I guess because you have really grown up." Deedee says.
Moe smiles a little.
"Do you want to continue or not?" Moe asks.
"Yeah I do." Deedee answers.
A big smile spreads across Moe's face.
Moe pulls Deedee close to him again and starts kissing her passionately.
Deedee grins than stops and starts tickling Moe.
"Stop it, that tickles." Moe says between giggles.
"Duh….it's supposed to." Deedee replies.
Moe grins than starts tickling Deedee.
Deedee busts into fits of laughter.
They tickle each other for awhile.
A little while later they are kissing passionately and than they start making love.
