Chapter 17: Papa Can You Hear Me?
Molly's POV
"Hey Molly, you partied waaaay too hard last night..." Finn said leaning over me.
Last night was my birthday party that Chase and everyone else had thrown for me...
Gosh that was a good party...
As you can tell...
I'm really...really...tired...
"Yeeees?" I asked the tiny sprite...
How can he have this much energy?
"You have some more mail." He said, handing me an ivory colored envelope.
Fancy!
Molly,
Change of plans, we're playing tonight at the Music Festival! I'm sorry for throwing this on you last minute, but the Mayor just told me that we were having spectators from all over the world watch us perform and they can't reschedule the date...It's just gonna be stuff we've been working on for the past couple weeks. Below is the list of songs we're going to be playing:
-Requiem for a Dream
-Hungarian Dance no. 5
-Farandole
-Phantom of the Opera Overture
-The Tempest
-Howl's Moving Castle Theme
We're gonna have a rehearsal at 6 pm. Be there or be square.
-Caid
REALLY?
WHAT'S WITH ALL THE LAST MINUTE LETTERS SAYING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN THE PROCEDURE OF SOMETHING?
All well, all of these songs are pretty easy.
To me at least.
To others, *cough cough Maya and Darien cough cough*,It's not as easy...
Well, it's 4 pm right now, sooooooooooooo...
Oh my goodness graphics...
I REALLY NEED TO STOP SLEEPING IN LATE!
After Rehearsal and At the start of the Festival...
"Alright, so where's that free food we were promised?" Finn asked, rubbing his little stomach.
For such a little guy, he could eat a lot! I mean you should see him on Thanksgiving!
"Do you have to worry about food right now Finn? I'm playing in a little bit and Caid said that we shouldn't eat before playing or else we might get food in our instruments and that would just be sick!" I said.
"I never said anything about you eating! You can just go along and look at all the sites while I go eat, okay?" Finn said.
"Yes, but if you were to go eat, that would make me even hungrier thinking about all that warm...delicious...food..." I said as my mouth started to water and the thought of all the soups, and the vegetables, and the fish, and the meats...especially...the steaks...
Don't tell my cows, but steak is my favorite food!
I especially like it really really rare!
I don't get why most girls don't like steak and other meats.
It's just odd...
But...steak...
Rare...juicy...meaty...steak...
"Molly, were you having another steak fantasy?" Finn asked, snapping me out of my day dream.
"Um...uhh...what ever gave you that idea?"I asked .
"Well, you were looking at then steak, drooling, and muttering "steak" over and over again...It was kind of obvious..."
"Guilty!" I said with a laugh, thinking of how weird I must have looked.
"Yeah, well, I'm going to go get some food now, so I'll talk to you later okay?" Finn said.
I sighed.
I knew I couldn't keep Finn away from the food, so I just gave up.
"Alright...go have fun. I'm gonna go get ready. See ya!"
"Bye Molls!" He said quickly, and flew off to the buffet table.
"Oi Molly!" I heard a voice call me.
"Yes Mr. Caid?" I asked spinning around to face the flushed director.
"We're going on in 5 minutes, be ready!" He said, running towards a group of other orchestra people who were just chatting away.
I then began walking towards our set up, which was right in the center of the town.
On the way there, I stopped for a minute and observed my surroundings,
I saw people talking, and laughing, and having fun.
"Papa stop it!" I heard a little girl cry.
"Hahaha, not until you give me your last piece of chicken!" A middle aged man said as he tickled his daughter.
"Never! Hahahaha." The little girl laughed.
It must be nice to have a father like that...
I saw a bunch of families together, looking at instrument and art displays, showed along the cobblestone path.
In never really had a true family, I mean I had a foster family sort of thing, but they weren't really my real family!
I never had a father to hold me, or tickle me, or any of that stuff...
Well, that's enough complaining for now...
I should be in a happy mood! I mean, I'm going to be playing in...
…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I ran faster towards my seat in the set up.
I nearly missed the opening, but I made it!
I saw my flute and piccolo were already on my seat.
How did that happen?
I saw Chase standing by the stuff.
He smiled at me then winked.
Oh Chase, so nice!
He really got an attitude change over then past year!
Before, he wouldn't even help me pick up something that HE dropped, and now he's getting my stuff ready for me and taking me to festivals?
Something seems quite suspicious about Chase...
Is he...
NOPE! I WILL NOT LEAD MYSELF TO BELIEVE THNAT BECAUSE THAT IS DEFFINATLY NOT TRUE!
"Hey, I got your stuff ready for you..." He said blushing.
NOPE!
"Oh, umm thanks! But why?" I asked.
"Oh, well, you weren't here, and I was worried that if when you got here, you wouldn't have enough time to get your stuff ready so...yeah..." He said quickly.
AWWWWWWW! THAT'S SO SWEEEEEEEET!
…
THAT STILL DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!
"Hey, we should probably sit down now huh?" He asked.
"Yeah..." I said, quickly taking my seat after he said that.
"Hello, and welcome to Music Fest Twenty-Ten! I'm the mayor of this beautiful town, Mayor Hamilton! I'm pleased to announce that tonight our very own orchestra is going to be playing a few pieces for you tonight before we head onto our free performances where anyone and everyone can join in having fun! Mr. Caid, I'll let you take over now!" Hamilton said, handing the mic to Caid.
"Thank you Mayor! Okay, tonight we're going to start out with a song that we played last week at the Full Moon Festival, Requiem for a Dream!"
Ahhh, how I love this one! And this time, I actually started on time!
This song is full of epicness and suspense! Just like me!
Okay, maybe not, but it's still epic!
The song concluded and we proceeded into our next song, Hungarian Dance no. 5
Another epic song! This has been another one of my favorites ever since I first played it on the bongo drums in Donkey Konga!
Yeah, I know, it's weird, but WHO CARES!
Our next song was actually the shortest, Farandole.
This one, Chase and I got to play the piccolo!
PIIIIIIIIIIICOLOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hahaha I love that word!
This is also quite an epic song!
Next up on our line of epic songs is The Phantom of the Opera Overture!
Tie for my favorite musical with Les Miz!
Next, The Tempest.
A great piece of work done by Robert W. Smith!
And to conclude our performance, Howl's Moving Castle Theme.
Beautiful, beautiful work!
It really fits the movie!
Finally, we were done!
After we took our bows, we excited the stage in a hurry so we could enjoy the rest of the festival from the audience.
"Hey Molly, wanna hang out for the rest of the festival?" Chase asked as we put our flutes and PIIIIIIIIIIICOLOOOOOOOOOOOS away.
"Ummm, sure!" I said cheerfully.
For most of the time, we just talked about random things, until Chase brought up an idea...
"Molly, you should go up there and sing!" Chase said, pushing me to the stage.
"WHAT? NO! ARE YOU CRAZY?" I yelled.
"C'mon Molly! It's just for fun!" He said, still pushing me.
I might as well let him win this time...
"Fine..." I said.
He gave me a smile.
"Good!"
I was announced within seconds and was pushed onstage by Chase, who had a huge smile across his face...
I wonder why?
The audience began to clap as I walked up to the mic.
"Ummm...alright then...I'm going to be singing "Papa Can You Hear Me?" from Yentl because I heard it on Glee and fell in love with it!"
I suppose also singing this song would help me vent my feelings too...
Oh God-our heavenly Father.
Oh, God-and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light of this
Flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa can you find me in the night?
Papa are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies I seem to see
A million eyes which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker;
The wind is so much colder;
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone.
Papa, please forgive me.
Try to understand me;
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying,
Anything I'm saying
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book I've ever read...
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller;
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright...
Papa, how I love you...
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me good night...
As I finished the song, I noticed how everyone in the audience was crying.
I then noticed that I was crying myself!
Everyone erupted in applause, and I quickly scurried offstage.
At the end of the steps, I ran into Chase...
"We need to talk..."
I just simply nodded.
He brought me up to the graveyard.
"Yes Chase?" I asked quietly.
"There's an exact reason why you sang that song isn't there?" He asked.
"I told the audience that I heard it on Glee, and that's the truth..." I said.
"Molly, both you and I know that isn't true..." He said, stepping farther away from me.
"So what if it isn't?" I said, stepping closer.
"You really want a family don't you?" He asked, finally looking at me.
I just stared at him.
"Molly, I know how you feel, always being in foster care, never knowing who really brought you into this world... I know..." He said stepping closer to me, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Do you ever wish you knew them?" I asked, looking directly into those gorgeous eyes of his.
"Sometimes, but if I did, I'm not sure I would've met the one person who I really care for more than anyone in the world..." He said.
Oh...so he's in love...
"I'm guessing she's great..." I said, looking away.
"Oh, but she is...and she's standing right in front of me..." He said, making me look at him
immediately.
"Wha-what?" I asked.
"Molly...I've really liked you for quite some time now...and when I say like, I really mean-"
I cut him off by kissing him.
He soon began kissing back...
It.
Was.
Breathtaking...
We soon broke the kiss so we could look at each other.
"Molly...I love you..." Chase breathed.
"I...Love you too..."I said, and went back for another kiss.
It was even better than the first one, but it unfortunately didn't last long.
For the rest of the night we just hugged and soon enough, I feel asleep in his arms.
Well, that's the end of the story! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA! Did I fool you? I'm guessing not...anyway, I know this chapter was pretty suckish but I felt the end was touching...*tear tear* I'm a sucker for sappy lovey-dovey-ness! I do truly love "Papa Can You Hear Me?" and first heard it on Glee. I'm pretty sure I've listened to it about 1000 times already, but who knows! Anyway, I'd like to say HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! I'm being Haruhi Suzumiya!But yeah, I guess that's it so again, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! And BYE!
