iPod Shuffle Challenge
I decided to give it a shot, see what would happen.
By the way, I kinda cheated, I went back and edited a bit...sorry...
Disclaimer: If I was Scott Westerfeld, I'd already know what happened in Goliath, and I'd be rubbing it in your faces. Sadly, though, I'm not, so I don't, therefore I can't.
1. It Ain't Necessarily So
"Wow, Scotland is amazing!" Alek looked around, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells.
"Yes, it's a beautiful place," Dylan sighed. "But wait until you meet my family..."
. . .
2. Carmen
"NO! I absolutely will not!"
"Please, Deryn, just once." Alek was smartly dressed in a suit, and held out a frilly white dress.
"Have you gone barking mad? I didn't fake my identity, get blown halfway across England, crash on a glacier in the middle of nowhere, and sabotage the Ottoman kraken nets to have you drag me to the opera in that...that thing!"
. . .
3. O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
...O light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee...
Deryn sat by the grave, silent tears dripping down her face. The graveyard was illuminated by a single flickering torch, resting by her side. "Oh Alek, I miss you so much."
"Deryn? What are you doing here?" Jaspert came around the corner, a concerned expression on his face.
"It's been a year, I can't just ignore it." She laid a small bundle of flowers on the ground, shakily stood up, and allowed Jaspert to lead her home.

4. Nothing's Quite So Precious
...He never leaves me
Even as the days grow weary...
Deryn looked at Alek, the star-strewn sky reflected in his dark green eyes. Nothing compared to the way she felt around him, the way he took away all her worries.
Yet he could never know her secret. The closest they could ever be was friends. She shook her head, ashamed of her weakness, and walked away into the depths of the Leviathan.
. . .
5. Stand Up! (Movie Version)
...Sometimes it's hard to see,
Just what's your destiny,
But when you find the path that's true
You'll know that's the one for you...
"Da, what's that?"
"That's an airship." He smiled at the little girl clinging onto his hand. "People fly in them."
"Wow. One day, I wanna fly like you."
"Perhaps." He gazed sadly at his daughter, reflecting that she would never be able to join the Air Service.
"I'm gonna fly in an airship, even if I have to dress up as a boy." Deryn said determinedly, in such a fierce way that her father laughed.
"Maybe," he said, and smiled.
Numbers Three and Four are from my New York City Young People CD, and are hymns. Number five is a Pokémon theme, and Number One is instrumental, so there are no lyrics. However, they're all wonderful songs, you ought to go listen to them.
By the way, does anyone know how to make a spoof for Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1?
Thank you for reading, and keep on reviewing!
