Chapter 9: Rewrite the Stars Take 2
Same choreography as movie
Bruce was re-entering the circus ring. He found Diana and he went to her and knelt down.
"Well, you want to just get to the song," Bruce said.
"Yes, but first..." Diana began. "You said that you meant what you were about to sing. Is that still true?"
"Yes," Bruce answered. "I really do want this. So will you take me?" Diana hesitated.
"I'll have to think about it," Diana said. "The way they look at all of us." "The way they look at all of us," Diana said. The song began.
"You know I want you," Bruce sang. Diana stopped. "It's not a secret I try to hide. I know you want me. So don't keep saying our hands are tied." Diana started to walk away but Bruce followed. "You claim it's not in the cards and fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me. But you're here in my heart so who can stop me if I decided that you're my destiny." They were now in the center ring. "What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine. Nothing can keep us apart. You'd be the one I was meant to find." He turned her around to face him. "It's up to you and it's up to me. No one can say what we get to be. So why don't we rewrite the stars?" A rope fell close to where Diana was standing. "Maybe the world could be ours. Tonight." Diana instinctively grabbed the rope next to him and was whisked up. She landed on a hidden platform and Bruce couldn't see her. Then the lights came on and he saw her coming slowly down on a hoop.
"You think it's easy," she sang. "You think I don't want to run to you. But there are mountains and there are doors that we can't walk through. I know you're wonder why because we're able to be just you and me within these walls. But when we go outside you're gonna wake up and see." Bruce held onto her hoop as it was lifted into the air. "That it was hopeless after all." Bruce let go. "No one can rewrite the stars. How can you say you'll be mine? Everything..." Bruce grabbed her mid-swing. "Keeps us apart." They tumbled over and then stopped when Diana was on top. She pulled on a rope. "And I'm not the one you were meant to find." She grabbed the rope. "It's not up to you. It's not up to me." Bruce grabbed the rope. "When everyone tells us what we can be. How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world can be ours, tonight?" They were right next to each other now.
"All I want is to fly with you," they sang together. "All I want is fall with you. So just give me all of you."
"It feels impossible," Diana sang.
"It's not impossible," Bruce said.
"Is it impossible?" Diana sang.
"Say that it's possible," they both sang.
"How do we rewrite the stars?" they both sang. "Say you were made to be mine. Nothing can keep us apart. Cause you are the one I was meant to find. It's up to you and it's up to me. No one can say what we get to be. Why don't we rewrite the stars? Changin' the world to be ours." They lowered down onto the ground.
"You know I want you," Diana sang. "It's not a secret I try to hide. But I can't have you. We're bound to break and my hands are tied." As Diana walked away, Bruce felt his heart break. Even though he knew that had been coming, it still hurt. He hoped that this wasn't her actually answer. But then again, maybe he had waited too long to start things with her. Maybe he was too late.
