Chapter 30 – The Fairy Godfather
In which our story comes to an end…for now…
...
Once Rachel had been revived with lavender water, and everyone had finished Ooohing and Ahhhing over the fact that Froggy had turned out to be the long-lost Prince Finn Charming, Finn turned to Chris and Darren. “The Fairy Godfather thanked me for bringing you guys here, and he said he knows how to send you home. He’ll be here in a minute.”
“Wow,” Darren breathed. “This has been such a magical trip. I don’t know if I’m ready to go back yet. How about you, Chris?”
Chris felt a swirl of emotions that left him dizzy. He gazed at Darren, unable to formulate a reply.
When Chris’s silence stretched on a little too long, Darren began to sing:
Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Finding his voice, Chris came in with the next verse.
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Taking each other’s hands, Chris and Darren sang the chorus together.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Darren pulled Chris into an impromptu dance on the next verse.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
Chris smiled into Darren’s eyes as they swayed in each other’s arms.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
