Disclaimer: I don't own much, not the story idea, the musical it's based off of nor the song Tie Your Mother Down. I sadly just own my love for it all.


The next day Scaramouche woke up with a throbbing headache yet again and with the same boy watching her intently.

"Scaramouche?" Galileo asked with hope in his voice.

"Stop calling me that." She rolled her eyes, watching as his entire body slumped in defeat.

"You d-d-don't remember anything?" He asked if only to make sure the reversal didn't work.

"Well if it actually happened then maybe I'd remember, but it didn't so... Guess you're out of luck. Wanna let me go?" Scaramouche asked with a little bit of humour, knowing there was no point. Her sarcasm faded as Galileo moved closer to her and stared her hard in the eyes.

"I promise I'll find you Scaramouche." He said as if he were talking to her soul, as if someone else was trapped inside her, and she knew he believe she was really his lost loved one, and for that she felt sorry.

"I'm sorry I can't help you." Scaramouche told him sincerely, finally breaking eye contact with him and standing up. Her forgotten headache returned in full force and she nearly fell back on the bed, gripping her head in her hands.

"Are you okay?" Galileo asked, holding her upright, having stopped her from falling.

"Some more of those pain killers would be nice." She told him, immediately stepping away from his grasp.

"We'll go find Oz then." Galileo decided while trying to hide the stab he felt when she pulled away from him.

"Oz?" Scaramouche asked as they left the room and walked down a small hallway.

"Look who's up. How are you feeling?" Oz asked as Galileo and Scaramouche entered the kitchen.

"This is Oz." Galileo answered her previous question. "She wants some more of those pain killers."

"I don't want them. I need them. For some reason whenever I wake up here I have a throbbing in my head. Thanks for that by the way." Scaramouche clarified, flashing a sarcastic smirk while taking the pills Oz handed her.

"I'm going to assume you still don't remember anything." Oz stated, looking over her.

"There's nothing to remember. You know people are looking for me. I have a boyfriend who's probably flipping out, it's only going to be a matter of time before…" Scaramouche argued.

"Boyfriend?" Galileo mumbled in disbelief.

"Kazz! It didn't work!" Oz cut her off, yelling to outside the room.

"So we tried and failed. Send her back." Burton commented, tired of this new Scaramouche.

"Agreed." Scaramouche nodded in approval.

"No!" Galileo protested, snapping out of his daze.

"Burton's right man, there's no point in keeping one of her kind down here…" Avril sneered as he looked Scaramouche down.

"Wait a second. Mykind? What's that supposed to mean?" Scaramouche asked, taking offense to the statement.

"You know. GaGa." Madonna clarified with disgust as he moved towards her.

"Cyber clone." Shania continued as she too stepped towards the girl.

"Yes Thing." Clay smirked and took the final step to surround her.

"Oooooh." The four bohemians jeered as they mocked Scaramouche, jazz handing in her face.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Galileo shouted as he stepped between Avril and Clay and pulled Scaramouche away from them.

"Let go of me! So what if I answer to Killer Queen. She gives me anything I could possibly want or need and by the looks of it being Bohemian isn't all that great. What? You get to wear some torn up dark pieces of…" Scaramouche argued, pausing to pull at Clay's shirt. "What ever that is, live underground, in hiding all the time. What for?"

"Listen here bitch." Burton got the first say as he moved to get back in her face.

"Hey!" Galileo shouted again as he stepped between the two.

"You stay out of this kid." Burton grunted, pushing Galileo away from him and Scaramouche.

"Hold up you two! Listen here. You better watch your mouth 'round here." Oz stepped in to divert anyone physically hurting the girl, or each other it seemed.

"Why?! I DON'T want to be here!" Scaramouche yelled before she suddenly dropped to her knees while clutching her head.
Disinterested and thinking the GaGa Scaramouche a bit of a drama queen, everyone but Galileo and Oz left.

"I want to break free." Scaramouche quietly sang from her spot on the ground.

"What?" Galileo asked quickly, hoping he actually heard what he thought he heard.

"What? I-I didn't say anything." Scaramouche defended herself quickly as she stood up and glanced around the room, scared that someone else may have heard.

"I'm gonna go get Kazz." Oz mumbled before hurrying out of the room.

"I didn't mean to." Scaramouche whispered to herself.

"Didn't mean to what?" Galileo asked cautiously.

"Nothing." Scaramouche answered quickly, her moment of weakness gone.

"It didn't sound like n-n-nothing." Galileo continued to push.

"Well it wasn't anything so drop it."

"Where did you get it from?" Galileo asked after a moment of silence.

"I told you, I don't know what you're talking about." Scaramouche told him angrily before storming off to sit on one of the barstools, knowing she knew of no where else to go.

She had had her head in her hands when suddenly Galileo was singing at her from where she left him.

Get your party gown

Get your pigtail down

Get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right

Got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight my little

Schoolbabe

Galileo moved towards Scaramouche until he was in front of her and poked at her suggestively, still singing.

Scaramouche turned on the barstool to face the other way, disgusted.

Your momma says you don't

And your Daddy says you won't

Galileo continued to sing as he followed her to the other side of the barstool to stand in front of her again.

And I'm boilin' up inside

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Fed up Scaramouche stood up only to be blocked by Galileo.

"Would you move?" Scaramouche tried to interrupt, tried to stop his singing.

Galileo only smiled and continued to sing. His smile faltering a bit after Scaramouche gave him a hard shove and was able to finally stomp across the room to the door.

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Lock your Daddy out of doors

I don't need him nosing around

Almost at the door Scaramouche stopped and whipped around to glare at him, angry at the mention of her father. He was dead. But thanks.

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Noticing that she had yet to leave Galileo approached her again.

Give me all your love tonight

Feeling her anger get the best of her Scaramouche stormed away from him again, this time back to where they had started in attempt to calm herself down. This didn't work as a few chords later Scaramouche marched angrily back towards Galileo with her finger pointed, singing at him.

You're such a dirty louse

Go get outta my house

That's all I ever get from your

Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard

A single little civil word

from those guys

But you know I don't give a light

Scaramouche took a second to turn away from Galileo and sing to herself.

I'm gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart hand

To put a stop to all that

Snipin and grousin

Her anger built up again and she turned fast to face Galileo, anger in her voice as she sang.

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

She felt a bit of relief and backed off a little bit but continued to sing.

Take your little brother swimmin'

With a brick (that's all right)

Galileo didn't have a little brother but hearing Scaramouche talk about him like that pissed him off. Both angry they sang at each other.

Tie your Mother down,

Tie your Mother down

Feeling the intensity Scaramouche took a step back before putting all her effort into her last line.

No you ain't no friend of mine

Surprising Galileo she held onto the last note before running off though the door. Knowing she was scared he let her go, a proud smirk appearing knowing that something must have worked when they used the brainwash reversal helmet. She was able to sing something non GaGa and she sang it with emotion. That was his baby.


"Very nice Galileo." Khashoggi praised, clapping his hands loudly as he emerged from the shadows once Scaramouche had fled from the room.

"This means it w-w-worked, right?" Galileo asked hopefully.

"Something certainly did. Whether it was by us or a slip up on Killer Queen's side it would appear the girl can still remember something."

"She was afraid though. S-s-scared by it."

"If this was due in part to a mistake on their end and not ours I would be certain that it was not on a conscience plain that she was able to sing like that, with meaning, emotion."

"So they might have left some of her b-b-brain untouched, unwashed? Well th-th-that's a good thing! Right?" Galileo questioned excitedly.

"Not necessarily. It would be better news if this was in response to our efforts of trying to reverse her brainwash. In any case, we will wait for anymore signs that it did work."

"And if it didn't?"

"Then we will have to send her back, Galileo."

"No!"

"It would be of no good to keep her down here."

"I won't loose her again." Galileo argued.

"You may have never found her." Khashoggi reminded him before leaving the bar and leaving Galileo to dwell in what may come.

Meanwhile, not knowing where she could go Scaramouche had quickly opened one of the doors in the long hallway and slipped into the room. Closing the door quietly she slid down to sit on the floor and brought her knees to her chest, crying softly.

"Are you okay?" Oz asked quietly, unsure of what to do. The Scaramouche she knew tried to never show emotion, let alone cry.

"Oh yea. I'm great." Scaramouche bit back sarcastically after composing herself from being startled by the presence of another person in the seemingly empty room.

"I heard you singing out there. Scared you didn't it?"

"I don't know where it came from. I didn't mean to." Scaramouche whispered brokenly.

"It's okay. It's more then okay actually." Oz smiled into the darkness.

"No it's not. I could get arrested for something like that. My whole life would be ruined."

"You're not going to get arrested here for singing. It's kind of what we're about." Oz told the girl before switching on the light.

"Right. I forgot about the whole kidnapping thing." Scaramouche snit, her walls back up.

"For someone who doesn't remember being bohemian and being Scaramouche it sure is strange that you ended up in yours and Fig's room." Oz quipped.

"What?"

"Before you were kidnapped this was your room. Galileo still uses it when he actually makes it to bed, hasn't really changed much since you left."

"How was I supposed to know that? I just needed somewhere to be alone. Apparently that doesn't happen around here."

"No, not often. Why did you choose to come into this room? It's not like this is the first door on the right."

"I don't know. I just did." Scaramouche replied grouchily, she was already growing tired of talking to Oz.

"Right."

"Okay well if this is my room. Then would you mind getting out? Thanks." Scaramouche smirked, holding the door open following Oz with her eyes as she walked out the door.

"Scara-" Oz started but was cut off by the door shutting in her face. Sighing she made her way to the bar.
