Rage Against the Dying of the Light - (Qui/Obi Adventure Salem/Cross-Over) - Update 2.22.03!

At the request of the FABULOUS FAB WE HAVE Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from The Phantom of the Opera...


You were once
my one companion ...
you were all
that mattered ...
You were once
a friend and father -
then my world
was shattered ...

Wishing you were
somehow here again ...
wishing you were
somehow near ...
Sometimes it seemed
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would
be here ...

Wishing I could
hear your voice again ...
knowing that I
never would ...
Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed
I could ...

Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you,
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle ...

Too many years
fighting back tears ...
Why can't the past
just die ...?

Wishing you were
somehow here again ...
knowing we must
say goodbye ...
Try to forgive ...
teach me to live ...
give me the strength
to try ...

No more memories,
no more silent tears ...
No more gazing across
the wasted years ...
Help me say
goodbye.



100th Post!

 

Thank you Maeve!
I so love that musical!
And Hark, I just noticed that the mysterious Phantom's mask was up as a special, special icon - so I changed mine to commemorate the passing of the 100th post for this story!

 

My dear you are welcome! Now without further ado heres Embraceable You from CRAZY FOR YOU


Dozens of men would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn't warm up
To one before
What was it that controlled me?
What kept my love-life lean?
My intuition told me
You'd come on the scene
Mister, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat,
And you'll know just what I mean.

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you,
Embrace me,
My irreplaceable you
Just one look at you -- my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all The many charms about you;
Above all I want my arms about you!
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to Polly -- come to Polly -- do!
My sweet embraceable you.

In your arms I find love so delectable, dear,
I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear,
But hang it --
Come on, let's glorify love!
Ding dang it!
You'll shout "Encore!" if I love.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to Polly -- come to Polly -- do!

My sweet embraceable...

 

Oh I so love that one also! Ummm, I want to dance to the intrumental version of that one at my wedding - one day, hopefully!
Do you know how much that has brightened my day? This has been a very Sithy day for me!
Thank you love!

 

A familiar tune for one who loves the old movies. It's not a show-tune...but this classic still warms my heart...


From Casablanca...heres As Time Goes By


You must remember this,
a kiss is just a kiss,'
A sigh is just a sigh,
The fundamental things apply,
as time goes by.

And when two lovers woo,
they still say "I love you,"
on that you can rely,
No matter what the future brings,
as time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs,
never out of date,
Hearts full of passion,
jealousy and hate,
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate,
there's no one can deny.

It's still the same old story,
a fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die,
The world will always welcome lovers,
as time goes by.

 

At least Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon know they should be careful now. But I get the feeling that they won't be able to keep their Force-ability hidden forever.

 

T_J - okay i've ranted... very good writing and i'll continue to read and give you my opinions from time to time... so long as my rants are allowed But of course! Your opinions and rantings are always allowed! You have a valid point about the past there! And, I'm glad the link is believable to you.

Sabe - Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are going to have to be very careful! Yes, very careful! But it does look like they have found someone sympathetic!

Obis-Grl - :::sighs in relief::: For now anyway! Well, I thought are boys were going to be in a bit of pitchfork trouble...but it seems a little better than that. Um, that would have made the story too short! But they still need to be careful! Indeed they do! And as always, thanks for the delightful show tunes - especially fulfilling my request!

Cascadia - But I get the feeling that they won't be able to keep their Force-ability hidden forever. It will rather be hard for them won't it!

Thanks for reading lovelies! New post this week!

I thought I'd bring another tune to this lovely story!

From one of my all time favorite musicals Brigadoon this is Almost Like Being in Love


What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being love...

There's a smile on my face,
For the whole human race,
Why it's almost like being love...

All the music of life seems to be,
Like a bell that is ringin' for me...

And from the way that I feel,
When that bell starts to peal,
I would swear I was fallin'
I could swear I was fallin'
It's almost like being love...

I just found this and WOW!!!


My reaction is as fallows:

?


I enjoy your writing FAB. And I agree with Miss *Thud* There are parts of Chirstain history I wish I could erase, also. It makes me angry to see those who claim to be part of my reiligon, commit such horrible acts.


Oh well thats the past..


Continue with the story!!!

GenOochy - Hello! Welcome to my other little fic. There is a maximum that states those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. Perhaps one day humans will learn the true meaning of that!
Without further ado - here is the last part of Chapter 2 - it's another shorty.

Chapter 2 - Spectre
Part 5

Qui Gon managed to force a half-hearted laugh at the old man's comments.

"But Bridget, bless her soul, was different and people often fear that which is different or even that they do not understand. So my friends, tell me your names and how you came to be here."

"My name is Qui Gon Jinn and this is my apprentice Obi Wan Kenobi. Our ship was destroyed in route to our destination."

"To many a sailor that has happened. It's the clifty rocks. Ship completely destroyed you say. Sounds like you will be here for a little while then. Is a shame such madness is common place in Salem these days," the blacksmith replied, shaking and his head and gesturing towards Bridgett's lifeless body.

"We would be grateful for any assistance you would be able to give us," Qui replied. Obi Wan stiffened a bit. The thought of asking for help from one of these savage villagers for was, even though it should not do so, frightening to him.

"My friends, I'm sure we will come up with something. Those names however, very strange, very strange, indeed. It would probably be wise my friends to go by names more common in the area. That would help you blend in better - not stick out quite so much - egh?"

"You are perhaps right. We thank you for any assistance you give us, my friend. Here, allow Obi Wan and myself to help you with this unpleasant task at hand."

The grim assignment of burying the force sensitive woman, they now knew as Bridget Bishop, caused waves of grief to surge through both master and padawan. Those feelings however had to be carefully concealed from this old seemingly harmless old man. For Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi were fast learning that nothing was as it seems in this place called Salem.

 

Cool. Glad to see another post...Wait...Maybe Obi/Sabe is updated!!!


*Runs of to see*

 

Luckily for them the blacksmith assumed that Qui-Gon meant sailing ship. Changing their names seems to be a good plan but I get the feeling that the people of Salem are still going to be very curious about the new arrivals.

Chilling!

FAB it was another excellent post!



Maeve

 

GenOochy - Thanks!

Sabe - Yes, Qui and Obi are lucky that the only reference to ships the blacksmith would know was a sailing ship - perhaps you are right about what Salem will think about their new arrivals - have to wait and see what I have up my sleeve!

Obis-Grl - My favorite, fantabulous singing reader! Glad you liked the post. Psssttt....how about "Goodnight My Someone" from "The Music Man" for your next tune?

New post sometime this week as long as my muse cooperates and my other story keeps going well.

 

I can't believe I never read this before FAB- I was missing out on a great story. This is such an intriguing idea. I can't wait for more!

 

Oh FAB you sweet talker you! Without fruther ado here is Goodnight, My Someone from the The Music Man...


Goodnight, my someone,
Goodnight, my love,
Sleep tight, my someone,
Sleep tight, my love,
Our star is shining it's brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are.
Sweet dreams be yours dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight.
Goodnight,
Goodnight.
