Part of your world: Disney
Chapter 3
Kathleen's Lament
+Kathleen's bedroom, Skellington House, night+
"A real human, here in Halloween Town. How exciting." Kath excitingly told her black cat Spook as she sat at her vanity and brushed her red hair while her cat curled up on her bed.
"But he won't be human for long." Kath then sighed as she looked into her mirror.
"Oh, what I wouldn't give to be part of the human world." Kath sighed before she began to sing.
Kath as she opened her vanity's drawer and looked inside it: Look at this stuff, isn't it neat
Kath as she looked at the human things in her drawer: wouldn't ya think
my collection's complete
wouldn't ya think I'm the girl
the girl who has everything
Kath as she looked at her room through her mirror: look at this room, treasures untold
Kath as she thought about the hiding spots in her room: How many wonders
can one bedroom hold?
lookin' around here you'd think
sure, she's got everything
Kath as she put down her brush and picked up a pencil: I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
Kath as she showed the pencil to Spook: You want thingamabobs? I've got 20
Kath as she turned towards her vanity once more: But who cares
Kath as she put down her pencil: No big deal
Kath as she looked into her mirror once more: I want more
I wanna be where the humans are
I wanna see
wanna see 'em dancin'
walkin' around without
stitches
Walking around
you don't get too far
skin is required for jumpin', dancin'
swimmin' in a ...
what's that word again?
pool!
Where they walk
where they run
where they stay all day in the sun
wanderin' free
wish I could be
Part of that world
what would I give if I could live
out of this town
what would I pay to spend a day
warm on the sand?
betcha in the human world
they understand
Bet they don't reprimand
their daughters
bright young women sick of scarin'
ready to stand
and ready to know
what the humans know
ask'em my questions
and get some answers
what's a balloon and why does it
what's the word?
float?
when's it my turn? wouldn't I love
love to explore that world so far away
out of this town
wish I could be
part of that
world
"Kathleen, if your father found out about your human stuff, he wouldn't be very happy." Spook told Kathleen causing the red head to sigh as she closed her drawer.
"I know. I just wish I knew why Dad dislikes the human world so much. He only goes there once a year just to scare humans." Kath sighed just as knocking filled the air.
"Come in." Kathleen yelled causing the door to open revealing her mother.
"Hello dear. Did you enjoy tonight's festivites?" Sally softly told and then asked her daughter as she walked over to Kath, picked up the brush and began to brush the back of her daughter's hair.
"It was as fun as always." Kath told her mother before she looked curiously at her mother's reflection.
"Mom, why does Dad dislike the human world so much?" Kathleen curiously asked her mother causing Sally to sigh sadly.
"When your father and I told you the story of that faithful Christmas so many years ago, we left one some details. When the humans found out that your father wasn't the real Santa Claus, they blasted him out of the sky with these strange weapons. We thought the humans had blown him to smitherens." Sally sadly explained to her daughter as she thought about that horrible night.
