Ah and this one probably won't be good, it's really long and it's kind of hard to do, but I'ma do it!
Wordgirl flew off with Huggy on her shoulders, knowing in her guts that this encounter was not going to be like others before, not after the song. She saw the boy perching on the shoulder of one of his giant robots. The boy had a distant look on his face and barely the arrival of the heroine. Barely, but not quite.
"Tobey..." Wordgirl started off testly.
"Hello my darling Wordgirl," he said nervously.
"Why?" she asked, "Why would you pull them out today of all days?"
The boy looked up at her, eyes full of confusion, "I needed to see you. It was important."
The girl raised an eyebrow as she stared at him.
"Why did you need to see me?"
"I...I needed to say something...or rather sing it," Tobey explained, and instead of letting the girl reply, he went ahead and started off.
"The trouble with schools is. They always try to teach the wrong lesson. Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know."
Wordgirl rolled her eyes knowing that it was probably true.
"They want you to become less callow, less shallow. But I say: why invite stress in? Stop studying strife, and learn to live 'the unexamined life'..."
Huggy let out an annoyed squeak, but Wordgirl was already caught.
"Dancing through life, skimming the surface, gliding where turf is smooth. Life's more painless, for the brainless," he said softly.
The girl, ducked her head, knowing that the people of her town were so blissfully ignorant, while she had to worry about all their problems...and hers.
"Why think too hard? When it's so soothing, dancing through life, no need to tough it. When you can sluff it off as I do nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters. It's just life, so keep dancing through..."
"Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping, and always keeping cool. Life is faught less, when you're thoughtless. Those who don't try, never look foolish."
His cheeks burned brightly in the sunlight. He wasn't just talking about life anymore...he was talking about her and his many attempts at getting her affection.
"Dancing through life, mindless and careless. Make sure you're where less trouble is rife, woes are fleeting, blows are glancing when you're dancing through life..."
His bright and nervous face changed, a cocky smile took it's place as he shot the girl a sly smile, "So—what's the most swankified place in town?"
"T...that would be the high school's Ballroom," Wordgirl replied, remembering the approaching party taking place at the school.
"Sounds perfect!" he exclaimed, "Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom! We'll meet there later tonight."
Wordgirl opened her mouth to speak, but he continued on.
"We can dance till it's light. Find the prettiest girl..." he winked in her direction, "Give her a whirl. Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom. Come on—Follow me! You'll be happy to be there..."
"Dancing Through Life. Down at the Ozdust...," she could already hear the students cry around her as they all got ready for the party.
"If only because dust. Is what we come to." Tobey sang over the kids.
"Nothing matters. But knowing nothing matters! It's just life..."
"So keep dancing through..." Tobey sang and sent another wink her way.
Wordgirl heard a yell from below, knowing who it was, but flying down nonetheless. All the while trying to keep her blush down.
"Oh Wordgirl—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. All night," TJ Botsford exclaimed beaming up at the girl.
Wordgirl grimaced, when would her adoptive brother give up?
"Oh—that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder? See that tragic'ly beautiful girl, the one in the chair? It seems so unfair, we should go on a spree and not she. Gee—I know someone would be my hero if that someone were to go invite her..."
TJ's eyes followed her gaze to a stunningly pretty girl in a wheelchair (who was approxamately his age), "Well maybe, I could invite her?"
"Oh, Teej, really? You would do that for me?" she asked.
"I would do anything for you Wordgirl," he said dreamily and walked off towards the girl.
Wordgirl looked up and flew over to where Tobey still stood on his robot, "So..."
"So I'll be picking you up around eight?" he asked nonchalantly.
"A...a...after all—," she said, finding herself floating closer to him, "Now that we've met one another..."
He boldly grabbed her hand as they stared at each other and sang, Wordgirl quite nervously:
"It's clear we deserve each other..."
"Y...You're perfect..." she admitted shyly, avoiding the chimp's screech from her arms.
Tobey beamed, "You're perfect..."
"So we're perfect together. Born to be forever... Dancing Through Life...," they sang to each other before Wordgirl was pulled away, quite literally, by the chimp.
Later on, Becky sat with Violet at the house of a very familiar looking girl in a wheelchair.
"Oh, Becky—Isn't it wonderful?" she exclaimed, "Fin'lly for this one night I'm about to have a fun night with this Munchkin boy Wordgirl found for me. And I only wish there were something I could do for her to repay her. Becky, see, we deserve each other. And Wordgirl helped it come true! We deserve each other: me and TJ -. Please Becky, try to understand."
Becky knew she said that because it was her brother after all.
"I do... Violet, listen. Nessa and I were talking about Wordgirl just now."
"And I was just thinking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!" Violet exclaimed, handing her a very pretty fedora, "It's really—uh—sharp Don't you think? You know—black is this year's pink! You deserve each other: this hat and you. You're both so smart, you deserve each other. So here, out of the goodness of my heart."
Even later, the kids were all at the party, except Becky of course.
"Listen—Nessa—" started TJ off very nervously.
"Yes?"
"Uh, Nessa. I've got something to confess, a reason why, well—. Why I asked you here tonight. Now I know it isn't fair..."
The girl smiled dejectedly, "Oh, TJ. I know why."
"You do?" the boy asked, his face paling.
"It's because I'm in this chair and you felt sorry for me. Well—isn't that right?"
"No! no! It's because...because...Because you are so beautiful!"
"Oh, TJ! I think you're wonderful! And we deserve each other. Don't you see, this is our chance? We deserve each other. Don't we, TJ?" Nessa asked, her face beaming with excitement.
"You know what? Let's dance!" the boy cried, his enthusiasm fueled by her bright smile.
"What?"
"Let's Dance!"
The students twirled in intricate circles, singing while they dances: "Dancing Through Life, down at the Ozdust. If only because dust is what we come to. And the strange thing: You're life could up changing while you're dancing through!"
While the kids sang, the spotlight moved to the middle of the dancefloor where two very familiar people were dancing, Wordgirl and Tobey.
Voila. I need more songs if you want me to continue, so feel free to suggest. (Especially if they're Wicked songs). Review please! :)
