I'll Keep Believing
Flip heard the sound of people clapping for his paintings.
"Oh," Flip said gratefully. "thank you."
Flip took off his hat and the people around him put gold coins in it.
Journeying to distant lands, Flip became a successful artist.
Rich and famous people began offering fortunes for his beautiful paintings.
"There," Flip said to a wealthy woman. "it's finished!"
"Nope, I think you left out the highlight," the woman said pointing. "there, on top of that turret."
"I always leave out one detail in my paintings." Flip said to the woman.
"You do?" the woman asked Flip.
"That's how everyone knows it's one of mine." Flip answered the woman.
The woman just chuckled, "With so much talent you will soon be very famous."
There was a reward poster for Flip tacked onto one of the trees.
Back in the city, the king was angry.
"It's been months now," King Snively said Konoka. "and you still haven't found that boy!"
"He continues to illude us, your majesty." Konoka said.
"Us? He has not illuded me, Captain, find him!" King Snively ordered.
"I have tried everything, your highness, but I cannot find him!" Konoka exclaimed.
"Well! It hasn't been enough," King Snively said angrily. "wait... didn't he have a sister?"
"Yes, your majesty." Konoka answered.
"Aha," the king mused. "go get that little brat instead! We'll use her as bait! Spread the word that we have his sister in our possession, sooner or later, the boy will hear that we have her, and then, we'll have him!"
Immediately, the king's men kidnapped Nancy from her home on the streets, took her straight to the castle, and forcefully threw her into the dungeon.
Nancy was lonely as she began to sing as her friends gathered around to see that she was becoming sicker and sicker with every passing minute.
Nancy: Standing in the dark;
Are you lonely;
Are looking at the moon;
I miss you;
But I know;
I'll see you soon;
See you soon;
Flip was traveling as he sang.
Flip: Striving on my own;
Everywhere I went;
Was oh so cold and black;
I belong with you;
I have to hurry back;
Hurry back;
Now Flip & Nancy sang together in their separate locations.
Flip & Nancy: I'll keep believing;
That;
We'll be together;
Even though;
We're still apart;
I'll keep believing;
You're not gone forever;
Flip: Don't see you with my eyes;
Nancy: I see you with my heart;
Flip: Don't see you with my eyes;
Nancy: I see you with my heart;
Flip & Nancy: I'll keep believing.
Flip now saw Nancy in his painting, she was ill.
"Oh no, Nancy," Flip shouted, running back to the city. "what has the king done?"
