(AN: This is a musical, so when the words are slanted, the characters are singing. The songs are basically the songs from Wicked, which I'll have at the top of the chapters, but with a few word changes. I suggest using a computer or laptop when reading this story since I found it difficult to make the music work on mobile devices. With a computer, you can simply open another tab my clicking the video and clicking the small YouTube button. Once you do so, pause the video, and come back until I tell you to start the music! Enjoy!)

(AN: Music start. There's a long intro before the singing starts, so you may have to wait for the music to catch up.)

The Ultimate Show had ended about three weeks ago. The heroes had won.

Timpani and Blumiere had returned shortly after, and the world was rejoicing. Once again, love and goodness have shone though, evil being undone.

A big celebration was happening in Flipside. Everyone was dancing and having a great time, knowing that the vile Dimentio was defeated.

Everyone was safe once again, and all was happy throughout the land.

There couldn't have been a more perfect ending. Everyone was happy. Blumiere and Timpani were reunited. Luigi had been spared from the blast of fire and flames that destroyed Dimentio when Super Dimentio was defeated. And, best of all, the void had been closed, since the one in control of the Chaos heart's power,  Dimentio, had been destroyed!

All was well. And, now that the Dark Prognosticus had disappeared into history, as well as Dimentio and the Chaos heart, all was safe at last.

Merlon made sure to invite everyone to the celebration in flipside to honor the heroes' victory.

(AN: If you don't wanna wait for the music to catch up, skip to 1:02) 

Everyone: "Good news! He's dead!

The Master of Dimensions is dead!

The wickedest man there ever was,

The enemy of all of us, is gone because,

He's Dead!

Good news!

Good news!"

Timpani stood up and called everyone's attention to her.

Flipside Resident: "Look! It's Timpani!" 

The room fell silent as she smiled a warm smile, waving to everyone.

Timpani: "Yes! It's wonderful to be here, fellow citizens!

Let us be glad

Let us be grateful

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue,

The wicked workings of you know who.....

Isn't it nice to know

That good will conquer evil?

The truth we all believe'll by and by.....

Outlive a lie.....

For you and-"

Flipside Resident#1: "No one mourns the Wicked!"

Flipside Resident#2: "No one cries 'They won't return!'"

All Flipside Residents: "No one lays a lily on their grave."

Flipside Resident#3: "The good man scorns the wicked!"

Flipside Resident#4: "Through their lives, our children learn!"

All Flipside Residents: "What we miss, when we misbehave."

Timpani: "And Goodness knows,

The wicked's lives are lonely....

Goodness knows

The wicked die alone

It just shows when you're wicked
You're left only,
On your own...."

Everyone: "Yes, Goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely..

Goodness knows
The wicked cry alone

Nothing grows for the wicked
They reap only,

What they've sown...."

She reached her hand out to Blumiere. He smiled and took it. Everyone cheered for the two.

Timpani: "Now, we must often wonder, are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrusted upon them. I mean, after all, he had a father and a mother, as many of us do."

Flashback

Father: "How I hate to go and leave you lonely" 

Mother: "That's alright, it's only just one night"

Father: "But know that you're here in my heart, while I'm out of your sight....."

She waited until she knew he was gone. Then, she ran to the back of her home and opened the door, letting another dark mysterious man inside. They danced with each other.

Other Man: "Greetings yet again, my dark-eyed beauty
I've snuck one more night, here in town
So stay again with me, close and tight
Even if only for one more night,
Just be quiet about the whole little thing
So we stay safe and sound....." 

He smiled, holding out a drink. She smirked, pulling him into a kiss.

No one knew of the affair.

And, nine months later, the baby was coming.

Midwife: "It's coming"

Father: "Now?"

Midwife: "The baby's coming"

Father: "And how?"

Midwife and Father: "I see a nose,
I see a hand!
It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little -"

They both gasped and stepped back.

Mother: "What is it? What's wrong?!"

Midwife: "How can it be?!"

Father: "What does it mean?!"

Midwife: "It's atrocious"

Father: "It's obscene...."

The baby had an unnatural grey pigmentation for a human. It also had one bad eye, which glowed yellow. The whole left side of his face was messed up, no eyebrow, no ear. There was no way this child was a human!

Father: "......Take....take it away. Take it away!"

Back to the present

Timpani: "Right from the beginning, it had to be rough...."

Everyone continued celebrating. 

Flipside residents: "No one mourns the wicked!

Now at last, he's dead and gone!

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land.....

And..... Goodness knows

We know what Goodness is!

Goodness knows

The Wicked die alone" 

Timpani: "He died alone...." 

Flipside residents: "Woe to those.....

Woe to those,

Who spurn what Goodness

They are shown.....

No one mourns the Wicked!"

Timpani: "Good news!"

Flipside residents: "No one mourns the Wicked!"

Timpani: "Good news!"

Everyone: "No one mourns the Wicked!

Wicked!

Wicked!"

Everyone was busy celebrating.

Blumiere looked at Timpani. 

Blumiere: "Hey, are you alright?" 

She looked into his eyes, then smiled. 

Timpani: "I'm with you. Of course I am. Goodness always triumphs."

He pulled her into a kiss. 

Blumiere: "Good."

Mario, Luigi, and Peach arrived to the party late. Bowser was invited, but didn't wish to come. Peach ran up and hugged Timpani. 

Peach: "Oh, it's so great to see you guys! I'm so glad you're okay!" 

Mario: "Yeah, great to see you again Tippi! Wow! I can't believe it's you! You look like a person!"

Timpani nodded. 

Timpani: "Yes, yes, it's great to be a human again."

Luigi looked around, as everyone celebrated. 

Luigi: "....Why's everyone so happy exactly?" 

Mario placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. 

Mario: "Well, they're celebrating our victory over Dimentio. Once again, the good guys have won."

Luigi: ".....You're celebrating the fact that we killed a man?"

Mario: "Well....yeah! We saved the day."

Luigi: "Am I the only one who's not celebrating this? You're all so heartless! Am I the only one who's not happy about Dim....Dimentio's death?"

Mario looked at Blumiere and Timpani.

Mario: "Forgive him. He's still a little salty because that evil clown sprouted him and made him live his worst nightmare."

Luigi glared at him. 

Luigi: "Why do you sound so happy when you say that?" 

Mario shrugged. 

Mario: "I mean, look at all these happy faces. It would be hard not to be happy." 

Luigi: "Yeah... I guess. I'm.... gonna go sit down."

He walked away and sat down, trying to ignore everyone's cheers and shouts. He thought it was just sick how they were all celebrating. 

Mario smiled and shook his head, before turning back to Timpani. 

Mario: "He hasn't really been himself since the Ultimate Show. I can't even imagine what that whole experience must have been like for him. But don't worry. He'll get over it soon. Anywho, how do you two feel? Safe at last?"

Blumiere nodded. 

Blumiere: "Yes. Everyone has been so accommodating with our return. It has been absolutely marvelous."

Timpani: "Yes. Everyone has been so kind."

Mario got up and pulled her aside. 

Mario: "Hey, there's something I've been meaning to ask you."

She looked around. 

Timpani: "Really? What is it, Mario?"

Mario looked side to side.

Mario: "It's....about Dimentio."

Timpani: "O-oh. What about him?"

He took a breath. 

Mario: "Okay.....well, the first time I saw Dimentio, we were fighting that Robotic guardian trying to get the second pure heart. But, when he appeared, you seemed to know him. You said something like, 'I know you, you're that...' then you didn't finish your sentence. How did you know him? Was he.... your friend?"

The room fell silent. Timpani nervously looked around. All eyes were back on her. 

Timpani: "W-well, it would depend on what you mean by, 'friend.' Did I know him...... Yes. Yes I did. Our paths had crossed a long time ago, at school actually. The finest boarding school in our dimension. But, I wouldn't really say he was my friend."
