Rewrite the Stars
Featured Song: Rewrite the Stars from The Greatest Showman
"Okay, Wrecker." said Qui-Gon. "Remember. Horses look big and strong, but they can be fragile. So, we need to teach you to be gentler."
Since Qui-Gon had super strength, he seemed to be the best option to teach Wrecker some self-control.
Qui-Gon got out a box of tomatoes and held one and showed Wrecker how to be gentle with it.
"What do tomatoes have to do with horses?" Wrecker scratched his head in confusion.
"Similar to horses, tomatoes appear strong in their texture. However, if you are too rough with them..." Qui-Gon squashed the tomato in his hands, splattering tomato juice everywhere. "That happens."
"Can't I just go on Pinto already?"
"Not until ya learn to be gentler." Pinto said. "I may be a strong bronco, but I can still break faster than a china shop in the path of a stampede of angry bulls if ya'll are too rough on me."
"Precisely." Qui-Gon said. "If you can be gentle with a tomato, we'll move on until you can be gentle with a horse."
So, Qui-Gon picked up another tomato and held it to Wrecker.
"Alright, Wrecker. Pet the tomato gently."
Wrecker took the tomato into his hands, but crushed it when he tried to pet it.
Pinto backed up.
"That was only the first go." Qui-Gon said, getting out another tomato. "Try again. Gentler."
So, Wrecker tried again. But he crushed the tomato again.
"This is gonna take a while." Pinto said.
Meanwhile, Mila took the mirror back to the palace to look for her boyfriend.
"I can't believe the nerve of some people!" Mila said. "I've heard of families wrecking people's relationships, but neighbors? Really?! Agh!"
"Whoa!" and someone was thrown into someone else.
Mila looked down the hall to see she'd accidentally flung Anakin into Master Plo.
"Dios mio! Are you guys okay?" Mila said, helping them up. "I'm so sorry."
"It is alright, Young Mila." Plo said.
"Who pushed your buttons?" Anakin said, dusting himself up. "I thought you and Tech were with your family today."
"Yeah, and half the Encanto crashed the party and called my boyfriend a science experiment that I date because I was apparently so desperate to avoid more blind dates!" Mila said angrily. "It was a disaster, and now Tech probably wants to break up because of my stupid neighbors! Agh!"
And Mila stormed off, a vase exploding as she walked past it.
Just then, Crosshair bumped into her.
"You seen a crazy horse around here?" said Crosshair.
"Who cares about your horsing around?" Mila said angrily. "I'm having relationship problems!"
Mila stormed off again, this time telepathically throwing Crosshair right into Maybelle who was close by.
"There you are!" Maybelle said, catching Crosshair with her magic horn before he could run off again.
Mila walked around the palace, looking for Tech.
"Alright, Chika. Do your stuff." said Mila. "Find Tech."
Chika got right to sniffing.
Mila followed her dog as she sniffed, and they came across Teatra.
"Teatra, have you seen Tech?" Mila asked.
"He's been hiding in his room." Teatra said. "He's in a bad mood. He could use some cheering up."
She sang those last two words.
"What can I do? My neighbors scared him off, and he probably doesn't want anything to do with me." Mila said.
"Mila, I wasn't there, but I know a thing or two about love." Teatra said. "In many musicals, there is a love story that always faces some disaster. But they always find a way. In one called West Side Story, two members of different clans faced a Romeo and Juliet type of forbidden love."
"Romeo and Juliet ended with the couple dying." Mila pointed out.
"True, but they feared never having the chance to be together more than of dying. And so, they decided they would be together in death. But I don't recommend that in this case. It may work in a tragic story, but not so well in real life. My point is, everyone's love story has its hardships. The stage set here, you gotta talk with your boyfriend and make things right. Only you two can decide what happens in your relationship."
Teatra motioned for Mila to enter the room.
Sure enough, Mila found Tech looking down in the dumps. He just sat on his bed with his head in his hands.
"Tech?" Mila said as gently as she could. "Are you alright?"
"How can I be? I really blew it with your folks." Tech said.
"Tech, my family loves you." Mila said. "It was my neighbors who had the big mouths of ignorance."
Mila sat down beside her boyfriend.
"I don't care if you're a clone. You're the man I love, and that's all that matters to me."
"But it doesn't seem to matter to anyone else." Tech sighed. "You deserve a real man. Someone your people will like."
"Tech, you are a real man. I saw you fighting someone for me. That took guts."
"I was angry, I didn't really know what I was doing."
"You were defending someone you love. That's what people who love each other do."
Mila took Tech's hands into her own. But, Tech wasn't sure he could go forward knowing people would make comments about their relationship.
Mila:
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
Mila got Tech to look at her
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
The whole world seemed to disappear around the couple and Mila wrapped her arms around Tech and started to pull him into a romantic type of dance.
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
Still, Tech looked unsure. He knew having a relationship with a girl from a completely different world would be perhaps the most difficult thing he would ever attempt. As much as he wanted to be with Mila, it wouldn't be easy, knowing the way people looked at them, a telepathic human girl and a desirably mutated hyper-intelligent clone of a dead bounty hunter.
Could they really make it work?
Tech: You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all
Tech looked at Mila. He didn't want to believe it was hopeless, but cold hard facts started to suggest otherwise.
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
But Mila and Tech knew despite the difficulties, they wanted nothing more than to be together.
Mila & Tech:
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
Tech held Mila in a dip like he'd done when they first gazed into each other's eyes.
Mila:
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
And I will love you
We'll never break and I'll hold you tight
Mila leaned in, and she and Tech kissed.
"This is our love story." Mila said. "Only we decide whether it gets a happy ending."
Tech smiled and said, "Are we sure you're not the one who was programmed to be incredibly intelligent?"
Mila then dipped him. "Your flirting still needs a little work. But I like the praise for my intelligence."
And they kissed once more.
