Hi guys! BittyBoBitty here. Here's the second to my collection of random songfics!
Song: We Are One from the Lion King 2
Characters: Maes Hughes and Elysia
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or the Lion King 2
It was just after Elysia's 5th birthday. She had told everyone that she wanted to be a doctor. Hughes had given her a big speech about how she would have to work very hard to achieve that. He started going on about things that she didn't understand.
"And you'll have to do very well in school"
"Daddy, please shoosh!" Hughes had never heard her speak like this before. So he decided to try and explain it again – in song. He lifted her up onto his lap. She didn't struggle.
(Hughes)
"As you go through life you'll see"
"There is so much that we"
"Don't understand" She nodded her cute little head.
"And the only thing we know"
"Is that things don't always go"
"The way we planned" She looked up to him.
"Why daddy?"
(Hughes)
"But you'll see everyday"
"That we'll never turn away" She shook her head.
"When it seems all your dreams come undone" He started to tickle her belly.
"We will stand by your side"
"Filled with hope and filled with pride!"
"We are more than we are"
"We are one!" She jumped off his lap as they started to chase each other around the house. She grabbed a stethoscope out of her doctor kit and started to try and listen to Maes' heart.
(Elysia)
"If there's so much I must be"
"Can I still just be me?"
"The way I am"
"Can I trust in my own heart?"
"Or am I just some part"
"Of some big plan?" She looked her father in the eye. He scooped her up. Just recently Gracia had gone on a trip to visit her sick mother. They both missed her very much. Hughes grabbed a picture of Gracia and gave it to Elysia.
(Hughes)
"Even those who are gone"
"Are with is as we go on"
"Your journey has only begun"
"Tears of pain, tears of joy"
"One thing nothing can destroy"
"Is our pride, deep inside"
"We are one!" She giggled and kissed the photo of her mother. He scooped her up and started spinning around.
(Hughes)
"We are one, you and I"
"We are like the Earth and sky" As he said sky, he threw her up in the air, catching her shortly after. She giggled ecstatically. He grabbed the picture of Gracia again.
(Hughes)
"Our family under the sun"
"All the wisdom to lead"
"All the courage that you need"
"You will find when you see"
"We are one!" He threw them both onto the couch. They laughed ecstatically. Just as they began to compose themselves, they heard the door open. Maes and Elysia heard the most beautiful sound they had heard in days.
(Gracia)
"Family, family we are one" Maes and Elysia ran over and hugged her.
(All)
"Family, family, we are one" She smiled.
"It's so good to be home."
