Tennis Court Meeting Part 3
"Henry, Henry," Alan M. heard Stanley whisper. "wake up, Henry!"
Henry opened his eyes, "What is it, Stanley?" he asked groggily.
"I had a bad dream about Anne," Stanley said to Henry worriedly. "I fear she might be in danger!"
"Stanley! It was a dream," Henry groaned irritably. "go back to sleep."
Alan M. opened his eyes and looked at the bed across from his next to Flip's, "Alex is missing, where could he be?" he asked groggily.
"Anne got a note telling her to meet a contact at midnight at the motel's tennis court outside." Henry said to Alan M. honestly.
"So maybe, Alex is Anne's contact!" Alan M. concluded.
Thunder began to crash outside and awoke the other Pussycats and Chan children except for Alan.
Back at the tennis court, Alexander & Anne were caught in the bad thunderstorm.
"What should we do, Anne," Alexander asked in terror. "oh! What should we do?"
Thunder crashed as Anne grabbed Alexander by his right hand.
"Quick," Anne said to Alexander, running to the gazebo. "this way!"
Alexander & Anne raced into the gazebo aas thunder crashed again and lightning flashed.
"Yikes!" Alexander yelled in fright.
Anne decided to sing to Alexander in order to calm him down.
Anne: I just got to knock on wood;
Things have never been so good;
I'm so glad that you are mine;
I'm gonna love you till the end of time;
You make me so happy;
Happy to be with you;
Happy;
With everything you do;
Happy;
The world was made for two;
Happy;
I must have a lucky star;
And;
It's shining down to where you are;
If I search my whole life through;
I know I'd never find another you;
You make me so happy;
Happy to be with you;
Happy;
With everything you do;
Happy;
The world was made for two;
Happy;
How lucky can one girl be;
I found a guy just made for me;
Who would think someone so sweet;
Has always been just down the street;
You make me happy;
Happy to be with you;
Happy;
With everything you do;
Happy;
The world was made for two;
Happy.
Alexander was was calm now but Anne was shaking like a leaf as thunder crashed once more.
"Don't worry, Anne," Alexander said kindly. "I'm always here to protect you."
"I can always count on you, my friend." Anne said to Alexander, hugging him.
Back in the boys' bedroom, the seven girls and Sebastian entered the room.
Chu Chu barked at the cat, scaring Sebastian.
"What is going on?" Josie & Suzie asked in unison.
"Alex & Anne are out in the storm!" Alan M. answered Josie & Suzie urgently.
"And Alan won't wake up at all!" Henry added just as urgently.
Nancy walked up to Alan's twin bed, "Wake up, Alan!" she exclaimed.
Alan swatted Nancy on the head.
"Groovy Gears," Alan shouted. "return to me!"
Valerie held Alan's left hand back, "Calm down, Gentle Inventor!" she exclaimed, still holding his left hand so he wouldn't attack Nancy in his sleep again.
Alan quickly opened his eyes, "What... what has happened?" he asked now feeling baffled.
"You have lost all control of your twin telepathy, Alan!" Flip reminded.
"What are you saying?" Alan asked Flip out of protest.
"We all heard you," Scooter teased Alan. "'Groovy Gears, return to me!' We all heard you!"
Alan blushed with embarrassment.
Sure enough, Anne & Alexander entered the boys' bedroom.
Alexander sneezed a great sneeze.
"Brother Dear," Alexandra said. "why did you have to catch a cold?"
"Henry, could you take the others out of this room," Anne requested. "do you think you could leave Alan, Alexander, and me alone, this is a matter of secrecy."
"Sure thing." Henry said to Anne.
Once Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Tom, Flip, Nancy, Mimi, Scooter, Josie, Valerie, Alan M., Melody, Alexandra, Chu Chu, and Sebastian were out of earshot, Anne began to sing to Alan & Alexander.
Anne: You've done it;
You've done it;
You came and stole my heart away;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You've made me feel this way;
I have looked through my magnifying glass;
I never let the smallest clue get past;
Have you known there's been a robbery;
And though I'm not complaining;
The victim's no one else but me;
Oh;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You came and stole my heart away;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You've made me feel this way;
I've searched both high and low with my fine tooth comb;
I don't pay much;
That's a fact that's known;
Boys I'll get you;
Won't let you go free;
And I set your sentence;
To a life of loving me;
Oh;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You came and stole my heart away;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You've made me feel this way;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You came and stole my heart away;
You've done it;
You've done it;
You've made me feel this way.
Alexander held back a sneeze as he yawned.
"I'm going straight to bed..." Alexander yawned.
"Me too," Alan yawned in agreement with Alexander. "thanks for the song, Cheetah."
And soon enough, Alan & Alexander finally fell fast asleep.
