Defying Gravity
Dimentio ran up to the top of the tower.
Timpani: "Dimmy! Wait! Where are you going?!"
He frantically looked around.
Dimentio: "Oh no, looks like I'm at the top of the tower. We're cornered. There's no where else to go!"
Timpani: "Dimmy, Listen to me! Think of your reputation!"
Dimentio had only one bag with him now. The bag with the purple and yellow outfit, along with the new mask. He sighed, and set the bag down. knowing he left the rest of his bags down near Merlon's house.
Dimentio: "They're gonna but a band on me! I-I gotta barricade the elevator door!"
Timpani grabbed his arm and stopped him.
Timpani: "Dimmy!"
Dimentio: "NO TIMPANI! I don't care about what they think of me anymore! No one's ever loved me anyway! I can't keep waiting for love. I can't keep waiting for something good to happen! I won't follow the crowd and do whatever I'm told like a sheep walking straight into a slaughterhouse!"
Timpani: "Dimentio! What have I told you about the similes?!"
Dimentio: "Timpani, I don't have time for you to judge my way of speaking."
Timpani: "Dimentio! Seriously! There are rules. You can't just yell at an ancient. I'm sure this is a whole misunderstanding, okay?"
Dimentio: "NO!"
He slowly calmed down.
Dimentio: "No. I....I'm done with rules. I'm done with limitations. I'm not going to let anything hold me down. Not that stupid book, not the bands, not the ancients, nothing."
She gave him a hopeless look.
Timpani: "Dimmy, there's always going to be some rules that hold you down. You can't just defy everything. There's always gonna be something, so minus well work from within them."
Dimentio: "......No."
Now she was beginning to get frustrated with him.
Timpani: "Listen, I love that you've got your own beliefs. Really, I do, but this is an ancient we're talking about! You can't just do that!"
Dimentio: "Oh really? Says who?"
Timpani gripped his arm tighter.
(AN: Music Start)
Timpani: "Dimentio! Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?
Instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now!
I hope you're happy how you've
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever."
Dimentio yanked his arm away.
Dimentio: "I hope you're happy,
I hope you're happy, too....
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition"
Both: "So though I can't imagine how......
I hope you're happy,
Right, now......."
Timpani: "Dimmy, listen to me.
Just say you're sorry!
You can still be with the ancients.
What you've worked and waited for.....
You can have all you ever wanted-"
Dimentio: "I know.
But I don't want it
No,
I can't want it anymore....."
He took a breath and slowly looked over the edge of the tower.
The horizon went on, infinitely.
Limitless...
He felt a soft breeze.
Dimentio: ".....Something has changed within me....
Something is not the same.
I'm through with playing by, the rules of someone else's game.
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep.....
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes.....
And leap.....
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...."
He was about to step off when Timpani ran up and pulled him back.
Timpani: "Can't I make you understand,
You're having delusions of grandeur!"
He pushed her away again.
Dimentio: "I'm through accepting limits!
'Cause someone says they're so.....
Some things I cannot change,
But 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost!
Well, if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost.....
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down....."
Dimentio looked out to the horizon, then back at Timpani. He smiled a soft smile, then walked to her and grabbed her hands.
Dimentio: "Timpani, come with me. Think of what we could do....
Together.
Unlimited.....
Together, we're unlimited.
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been....
Timpani, dreams the way we planned them...."
She slowly smiled.
Timpani: "If.....we work in tandem."
Both: "There's no fight we cannot win....
Just you and I, defying gravity!
With you and I defying gravity,
Dimentio: "They'll never bring us down...."
Timpani slowly let go.
Dimentio: "Well....are you coming?"
She slowly shook her head.
Timpani: ".....I hope you're happy,
Now that you're choosing this.
Dimentio: "You too.
I hope it brings you bliss."
Both: "I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it...."
Timpani pulled him into a hug, a tear falling down her cheek. She held onto him tightly, like she never wanted to let him go.
Both: "I hope you're happy in the end.....
I hope you're happy,
My.... friend....."
(AN: Music Pause)
Timpani quickly let go as they heard the elevator door chime. Dimentio quickly ducked behind a pillar.
Crowd: "There they are! Get them!"
Two people ran up and grabbed Timpani.
Timpani: "What the heck?! Let go of me! Do you hear me? Let go!"
Dimentio's eyes went wide, when he stepped out from behind the pillar.
Dimentio: "Hey! It's not her! She has nothing to do with this! I'm the one you're after! It's me!
IT'S ME......"
He quickly began to levitate, floating up about thirty feet into the air. The whole crowd's jaws dropped as he flew above them all.
(AN: Music Resume)
Dimentio: "SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND ME!
LOOK TO THE MIDNIGHT SKY!
AS SOMEONE TOLD LATELY,
'EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY!'
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from ME.....
TELL THEM HOW I AM DEFYING GRAVITY!
I'M FLYING HIGH, DEFYING GRAVITY!
And soon, I'll match them in renown....."
He pointed down to the crowd.
Dimentio: "And nobody, not one of us
No ancient that there is or was.
Is ever gonna bring....
ME..... DOWN!!!!"
Timpani looked up at her friend, and couldn't help but smile.
Timpani: "I hope you're happy!!!!"
Crowd: "Look at him! He's wicked!
Get him!"
Dimentio: "BRING ME DOWN!!!!"
Crowd: "No one mourns the wicked, so we've got to bring him,
Dimentio: "OH WHOA OH OH!!!!"
Crowd: "DOWN....!"
Dimentio snapped his fingers, and disappeared, leaving nothing but a few ripples in his place.
