Breakaway
The Song Breakaway is by Kelly Clarkson
For Carol
As a young girl, Carol always dreamed of flying to the stars. She was always cooped up in London with her mother. Her father wasn't there often, busy being a Starfleet official. So Carol began to dream. One day as a teenager, she was looking in the Cultural History Archive for a school assignment: What do you think life in the early 2000's would be like as a young adult? Currently, she was listening to some of the popular music that appeared in movies during the time period.
"La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la"
Oops, she must have hit one by accident. Oh well, this did show up in the search string she had entered.
"Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying not to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed
I could breakaway
I spread my wings
And I learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
Til I touch the sky
And I'll
Make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness
And into the sun
But I won't forget
All the ones that I love
I'll
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on an airplane
Far away
I would pray
And breakaway
I spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
Til I touch the sky
And I'll
Make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness
And into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swingin round revolving doors
Baby I don't know where they'll take me
But
Gotta on movin on
Movin on
Flyaway
Breakaway
I spread my wings
And I learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness
And into the sun
But I won't forget
The place I come from
I gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway"
Carol was amazed. Who knew she would find a song to perfectly describe her wants in an old 21st century song?
Wherever she went, that song seemed to follow her during the next several consecutive years. All through Starfleet Academy in San Francisco (She once even slept under a palm tree, even if she was blinding drunk during that time), even in space on her assignments. It never ceased to ring true with her.
Until she was permanently assigned to the Enterprise. She really did hope she could find a new kind of family here. She guessed she would just have to find a new theme song for her life. So one day, off shift, she went trolling through the Historical Archives once again…
A/N Breakaway belongs to Kelly Clarkson, and appeared in the movie 'The Princess Diaries II' which was produced by Diseny. I own NUFFINK! Not really hapoy with this, but I forgot that I was supposed ti update on weekends… I guess this song could have fit somewhere else, but Carol was the fiRst one to come to mind, and I didn't want to hAve to sCrap the plot that I Spun out of thin Air, spit, Grit, and a whole lotta duck tApe, so I just stuck to it. Did you like the ending? I Did. It leaves a chance for continuation, if I so choose… HAve I Mentioned this yet? I'd like to take requests, both for songs and For characters. Even songs fOr characterS aNd what lIght yoU'd like to see the character in (For instance, I have a friend who can't stand Jim, even if I can't see the reasoninG behind it. I still plan to write her a oNe shot, though). So I guEss what I'm trying to say is that I'll look at any viewPoint and consider any song.
Brownies for anyone who can tell me the TWO reference quotes I used. But I'm only giving you hints for one. Hint: A movie with a TV spinoff Double hint: Taylor Swift's RED AlBum sEcrEt on the lyrics. But from the bottom up.
Yes, I like obscure things. Why do you ask?
H _'_ He_ _ _ _- A hint for the other reference, cause I'm a sucker.
Oh, and for anyone who reads this, like, forever after it's posted- feel free to take part in these 'games,' too. It's always fun to meet people who know their TRIVIA! (Yet another reference to the reference with two hints, except it's a reference to the spinoff… Am I making any sense here?) And since I made two references, I'll give you another hint- I have a story in this fandom.
