A Musical Sequel

I Wanna Be Like You

The next morning, Flash did another lap around the island. When he returned, he reported that he had found land, but they would need a boat to get to it.

Blue Bird took the lead and started planning things out.

"Flash, can you lead us to the place you saw land?" Blue Bird asked.

"I think so," Flash replied. "But it's on the other side of the island, it's going to take a while to get there."

"We'll travel through the jungle, it'll be shorter. Make sure you can lead us through the jungle, Flash. Red and Fish, go and pack up all the food we have. Beast, boil some water so we know it's clean. S, you and I are going to create a signal in case anyone is flying over.

They split to do just that. Red watched Blue Bird as they worked. It felt so familiar working with him, taking orders from him. And he was such a good leader. He wished that he could remember who he was, maybe he was a good leader too.

About an hour later, they left for the spot of land Flash had seen. The signal was there, an arrow pointing the way they had gone. Food was collected and passed out in bags made of leaves. Water was given out in empty coconut shells.

Then they traveled into the woods. It was hot and humid, the green walls were constricting. The whole group was uneasy as they crossed the treacherous terrain, but Blue Bird once again stepped up and led them with a few instructions from Flash on which way to go.

A couple miles into the forest, they took a break to gulp down some food and water. Red made his way over to Blue Bird, he really wanted to have a talk with him.

"What's up, Red?" Blue Bird asked as he approached.

Now I'm the youngest kid here,

Oh, the little brother, see
I don't remember much, so I've had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a leader, Blue Bird
And stroll right into town
And be in charge of important things
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An kid like me
Can learn to be a great leader too!"

"Thanks, I guess. But I'm not really that great of a leader. I'm just winging it."

"Now don't try to kid me, Blue Bird
Please make my dream come true
What I desire is a leaders fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret, Blue Bird
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of your abilities
So I can be like you.You!
I wanna be like you
I wanna talk like you
Walk like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!"

"I'm sure you will be a great leader one day, but maybe you should spend some time being a kid first," Blue Bird said, smiling. "All right guys, lets move on!"
