"Let's take out minds off of this now, shall we?" Maggie said, sauntering over to the piano. "Thanks to my lovely instructor, I now possess the ability to play," she said, grinning, posing her fingers over the keys. "Now, shall we go with light and happy or depressing?"
"Happy," Scully said through clenched teeth.
Maggie smiled, beginning to play and sing at the same time.
"Hello Mr. Zebra, can I have your sweater? 'Cause it's cold, cold, cold in my hole, hole, hole. Ratatouille, strychnine, sometimes she's a friend of mine with a gigantic whirlpool that will blow your mind. Hello Mr. Zebra, ran into some confusion with a Mrs. Crocodile. Furry mussels marching on, she thinks she's Kaiser Wilheim or a civilized sylabub to blow your mind...figure it out. She...she's a good time fellow, she's got a little fund to fight for Moneypenny's rights, figure it out, she...She's a good time fellow, too bad the burial was premature she said and smiled..."
They all applauded. "Cool!" Sarah shouted. "I want some Ratatouille too!"
"Isn't that poison?" Téa asked.
Sarah nodded happily.
"Well, okay," Maggie said. "As long as I get the Strychnine."
"My turn!" Sarah cried, and stood with her back to the keys. She crossed her arms in back of her and began to play a light piece. Everyone clapped when she was done.
"Now me," Téa said, producing a banjo from her pocket as she began to play "Old Susannah." Everyone clapped hesitantly.
"Dani?" Maggie asked. "Are you going?"
Dani stood at the front of the entertainment area. "Watch this," she said.
She closed her eyes and raised her arms. "Oooh," Sarah said giddily.
Suddenly, colours began to flaot through the cabin. Purples and blues and blacks and greens. They intertwined into beautiful and intriquite patterns. Everyone was speechless, even Scully as she felt like her insides were being ripped apart.
"Wow," they all said as a green alien head formed and the words, "We aren't coming...we exist!" floated out of it's small mouth. Mulder beamed. "That's my girl!"
It all ended, and Dani collapsed to the ground, exhausted. "BRAVI!" Maggie and Sarah shouted, applauding heartily. Good old Dani. So weird.
Tuna, rubber, a little blubber in my igloo
I told you from the start just how this would end. When I get what I want - I never want it again.
