In T-Minus 5...
~Unassailable Heart
Toad sat cross legged on the floor, staring enraptured at the TV screen. It was about to happen, the part he was waiting for. As the music began playing, Toad hooped up and began to dance and sing along with the song.
"It's not easy being green, having to spend the day the color of leaves!"
He hopped up onto the wall, and then flipped off onto the floor again. Man, he loved this song!
"When I think it could be nicer bein' red, or yellow, or gold, or something much more colorful like that!"
Toad pirouetted around the room, having more fun now than he had had in days.
"It's not easy bein' green, it seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things-"
Wham! The front door flew open.
Toad froze in the middle of his dancing, arms above his head, leg in the air.
Lance seemed equally paralyzed. The two boys stood there for a minute, staring at each other.
"Toad, what are you doing?"
Toad dropped back into his usual crouch. "Just…watching Sesame Street."
Lance nodded slowly. "Okay then. I'll be upstairs. Um, keep it down, I guess."
Toad nodded weakly. "Uh, you're not gonna say anything about this to the others about what just happened, are you?"
"Toad, I'm not sure what just happened."
Lance Alvers walked to his room, determined to get some sleep if he was going to face another day with his insane housemates.
