Snape; *Bellows* I DO NOT SING!

"In this fic you do."

Snape;*Splutters* It's preposterous,..it's..it's absurd!

"I always thought you had an attractive voice...for all that you use it to insult me."

Snape;...

*Shrugs* "I've always been fond of exceptionally deep voices."

Snape; Is that why you're so crazy about Dwarves?

*Gives him a shy look* "Maaaaybeee. There are other reasons...*Gazes out into space*..muscles for one."

Snape; *Shakes head* Never thought you would be all that choosey.

"Hey! I've got standards! *Smiles dreamily*..Dwarves just happen to meet and exceed those standards."

Snape; *Raises eyebrow* Uh-huh. You do know that you're a hopeless fangirl, right?

"Yes. *Sigh* And I don't own anything in this fic, which is sad, but it's the truth, so I'll have to deal with it."

Snape groaned as he linked arms with his comrades. "Must we do this?"

"Are you kidding?" Asked the Mayor as he glared at Severus sternly. "You are off to see the Wizard, it is practically a requirement!"

Snape glowered at Gandalf. "Please explain to me again why we are going along with this insane nonsense?"

Jack grinned. He had ahold of Marie's arm on one side and Arwen's on the other. "I'm no' complainin'." He gave a sly look at first Arwen, and was rebuked by Aragorn, then took a turn at Marie, which earned him a bonk on the head from the flat side of Gimli's axe.

"'ow didja ge' tha' back mate? I though' ya lef' i' back in Hellboy's Canon!" Jack rubbed his head ruefully.

"I had Misto magic it back to me." Proclaimed Gimli with a look of unholy glee. "Now I can go back to being able to properly deal with hooligans like yourself!" He lovingly stroked Marie's tufty hair, causing it to stick up even more.

"Ya know, I never would 'ave pegged ya for the type to ge' all gushy in public." Jack said, still swaying a bit unsteadily from the weight of the blow.

"Well, she's got to know that I love her, don't she?" Gimli replied proudly. "I am not ashamed that my heart beats for her."

Legolas leaned out from his position on the link. "I think that may be the most romantic, sweetest thing that I have ever heard pass your lips, mellon."

Gimli blushed as the others agreed. Marie said nothing, but sighed happily and kissed his cheek affectionately. Even the Munchkins went 'Awwwwww' at that. Jareth cleared his throat. "I think that it's best if we were off." He smiled at the couple that was at the center of the attention. Then he muttered under his breath so that only Legolas and Edward could hear him. "I can't wait for the wedding." Legolas let out a low chuckle and they shared a knowing glance before all of them began to skip.

*Follow the yellow brick road, tra la!
Follow the yellow brick road, tra la!

Follow! Follow!
Follow! Follow!
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick, follow the yellow brick
Follow the yellow brick road!

If ever a wonderful Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because because because because
Because of the wonderful things he does!

Oh, you're off to see the Wizard,
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was.

If ever a wonderful Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because because because because because...
Because of the wonderful things he does
...(whistled) because of the wonderful things he does

You're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!
You're off to see, you're off to see
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Oh, we're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was.

If ever a wonderful Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because because because because because
Because of the wonderful things he does

We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We're off to see, We're off to see
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!*

Gandalf grumbled underneath as they skipped to and fro. "I'll bet he's no where near as much of a whiz at being a wizard than I am."

"Well I'll bet that the wizard is a fraud. Probably all hype and hero-worship." Snape frowned heavily in disapproval. "He probably just had a fancy entrance. That's always what people think of as 'magic'." He snorted disdainfully. "I dislike him already."

"Oh, have a heart, Severus. Give him a chance!" Marie pleaded.

Snape smiled wryly, then to the astonishment of everyone, he began to sing.

*When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kinda human
If I only had a heart

I'd be tender
I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart

Picture me
A balcony
Above a voice sings low
Where for art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat
How sweet
Just to register emotion
Jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart!*

"Wow, you've got a great talent for singing." Marie told him admiringly. "You should do it more often."

Todd rolled his eyes. "Somehow, Marie, I highly doubt that he will."
