Kara sat there dumb founded. How could this girl like such a cruel man? Did she know what he did to her parents?! Did she know the ugly scar he had left on her?! She was never one to judge, but in god's name what did she see in him? "See this is why I never wanted to tell anyone!" screamed Lily. "Lily, do you realize who this man really is? What he has done to countless families and gypsies alike?" Kara asked as calmly as she could, though her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. "I know what he has done, but I love him and I know he loves me!" Wiping away tears that seemed to fall from Lily's eyes, Kara sighed and picked herself off the floor and sat next to her, a comforting arm around her shoulders. "How did you meet him? How did you get that scarf with his initials on it?" Once Lily had calmed herself down, she began to tell her friend of how see came to meet the Judge.

"It was a few months ago when I was performing a balancing act with a couple of other gypsies when the guards came with Frollo on his black stallion. We began to run in opposite directions, so that they would catch us, but one did catch me. I remember struggling to get out of their grasp, but I couldn't get out, until Frollo came. He told the men to let me go and he gave me a scarf to dry the sweat and tears off my face." Lily took a breath before she continued, while Kara tired to understand. "He looked me in the face and told me that he wouldn't let harm come to me because he had seen me perform before in the streets, so he must care for me! I have been seeing him a couple of times when I said I was going out of a walk, but I cant help it, he doesn't like gypsies but he helped me! I know that he is not young, but his voice and his passionate eyes draw me to him. He is quite kind when you get to know him." Lily looked and talked as if she could convince Kara that she was right about the man who killed her parents. "Lily, you know that he has killed many family members that belonged to the gypsies that live here." Lily's eyes went wide in anger, " I know he has, but what the hell has he done to you?! He has made some mistakes, but he's really a good person!" Kara couldn't take it, she couldn't defend that man, "What has he done to me!? He murdered my parents Lily! Do you have any idea how that feels?! Hearing their dying breaths!? How dare you say that to me! He has hurt me more than you can imagine! Would you like to know what mark he left on me?! That scar with the two x's came from his hand! He forced me to leave Paris as a child!" she yelled at Lily. Both girls were silent and Kara got up to leave, "I will keep my promise and not tell anyone, but I do not support him…please be careful." And she opened the flaps to the tent and left.

Walking away from the tent she felt anger rise up inside her. She didn't care that Lily loved him, but the fact that she had the nerve to say that he had committed no harm to her. Yet she did feel guilty for yelling at her so. Quickly running into her tent, she slammed her fists on the table and screamed as loud as she could, as newly fresh tears fell from her face. "God dammit!" She had so much anger that she threw the table to the floor and crumpled next to it, grabbing her hair in her hands and cried. She cried so hard that she didn't her Clopin come in. Seeing her in the state she was, Clopin ran to her side, "Kara what's wrong?" he asked with concern. Lifting her head and moving away from him, she responded "Nothing, just please go away." Not willing to take that answer he got closer, "Don't lie to me, what's the matter?" "Nothing!" she yelled as she got up. "Why does everyone think something is the matter?" She began to shake and cry harder. Clopin got to his feet and walked to her, "What are you doing?" she asked fearfully, as Clopin continued to walk closer, "What are you doing?" He looked at her and grabbed her, closing his arms around her, so that her face was against his chest, and Kara began to struggle, "Let me go Clopin do you hear me? Let me go!" But Clopin would not let go, and finally after a short struggle, she stopped fighting, and grabbed for him.

They stood there for some time, before Kara peeled herself off him. "I don't know why you did that, but don't do it again.:" she said. Clopin looked at her confused, "Why not?" She couldn't believe what he had said. "Because I said so and you should respect that." She responded coldly. Clopin looked frustrated, "Why? Why wont you let me in?" Turning to face him, she placed her hands on her hips and responded, "Because I have never had anyone take care of me, I don't need other people's help. I have always been independent and that's the way I intend to stay." She cast her gaze down, "I've never had anyone Clopin and I don't think I ever will." Clopin's face turned from frustration and anger, to one of an indescribable expression. He came around her and took her hands in his, "Why cant I be that someone?" he asked her. Kara couldn't believe what he was saying. Her face looked at him in confusion and awe. "You hardly know anything about me." Laughing, Clopin said, "I know that you are one of the most interesting girls I have ever met, you love the moon, you dance like a beautiful water nymph, and you have a feisty attitude. And I know that helping you escape those guards, all those days past, was not a mistake." Taking her hands away from his, she answered him, "If you have said everything you wanted, you can leave." She showed him that she was serious and began to push him in the direction of the exit, but he put up resistance. "Clopin, if you have nothing more to say then leave!" He grabbed her arms so fast and sang, "My gift is my song and this one's for you. And you can tell everybody this is your song…It may be quite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words…"Kara was speechless when he began to sing with such passion in his voice, and the looked that he gave her while he sang it. He put his forehead on her forehead. "How wonderful life is while you're in the world" He looked down at her, and lifted her chin, as he pulled her close, devouring her lips in a kiss.

The song is by Elton John, but I was thinking of like how Ewan sings it from Moulin Rouge.
