A LITTLE MUSICAL MONTAGE
by Andrea Bloom

"Oh, come on Jessie! Give me a chance!" begged Jonny.
"You, as my boyfriend? Jonny, come on. It just wouldn't work." 
"But--"
"Jonny, no."
Jonny frowned. Jessie hated to see Jonny so sad, but she refused to believe that she liked Jonny, 
enough to even let him be her boyfriend. She just wouldn't let it happen.
Jonny turned around and started to walk out of Jessie's room when something went DING DING DING!
in his head, so he turned back around, and started to sing. Jessie was quite shocked.

Some people settle for the typical things,
Living all their lives waiting in the wings.
It ain't a question of if, It's a matter of time,
Before I move over to the front of the line.
And once you're watching every move that I make,
Ya gotta believe that I got what it takes,

To stand out, above the crowd.
Even if I've gotta shout out loud!
'Til mine is the only face you see,
I'm gonna stand out, 'til you notice me, yeah.

If I could make you stop and take a look at me
Instead of just, walking by.
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
If it was getting you to notice, I'm alive.

All I need is half a chance,
A second thought, a second glance
To prove, I got whatever it takes.
** It's a piece of cake! **

Stand out, above the crowd.
Even I've gotta shout out loud!
'Til mine is the only face you see,
I'm gonna stand out, 'til you notice me.

Apparently, it was Jessie's turn to sing a song. Unapparently to Jonny, it wasn't the one he wanted to hear.

You think that we connect,
That the chemistry's correct.
You're words walk right through my ears,
Presumin' I like what I hear.
And now I'm stuck in the, 
The web your spinning.
You've got me for your prey.

Sorry I'm not home right now,
I'm walking into spiderwebs,
So leave a message and I'll call you back.
A likely story, but
Leave a message and I'll call you back.

You take advantage of what's mine,
And you're takin' up my time.
Don't have the courage inside me,
To tell you please let me be.
Communication, a telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape.

Sorry I'm not home right now,
I'm walking into spiderwebs,
So leave a messsage and I'll call you back.
A likely story, but
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.

And it's all your fault,
I screen my phone calls.
No matter who calls,
I gotta screen my phone calls.

Now it's gone to deep,
You wake me in my sleep.
My dreams become nightmares,
'Cause you're ringing in my ears.

Sorry I'm not home right now,
I'm walking into spiderwebs,
So leave a messsage and I'll call you back.
A likely story, but
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.

Jonny frowned more. But he was determined. He wasn't gonna give up, not on Jessie. She was too
important to him. He'd never meet another girl like her. Jessie was expecting him to leave, when he
started singing again. She crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes.

I've got myself a notion,
And one I know that you'll understand.
We set the world in motion,
By reaching out for each other's hand.
Maybe we'll discover,
What we should have known all along, yeah.
And one way or another,
Together's where we both belong.

If we listen to each other's hearts,
We'll find we're never too far apart,
And maybe love is the reason why,
For the first time ever we're seein' it eye to eye.

For the first time, for the first time, yeah.
Eye to Eye.

Jessie smiled, not realizing she was giving in. Jonny hoped she would sing a nicer song this time. 
To his surprise, she did.

I had no choice, but to hear you.
You stated your case, time and again.
I thought about it.
You treat me like I'm a princess.
I'm not used to liking that.
You ask how my day was.

You've already won me over,
In spite of me.
And don't be alarmed if I fall,
Head over Feet.
And don't be surprised if I love you,
For all that you are,
I couldn't help it.
It's all your fault.

You're love is thick, 
And it swallowed me whole.
You're so much braver, 
Than I give you credit for.
That's not lip service.

You've already won me over,
In spite of me.
And don't be alarmed if I fall,
Head over Feet.
And don't be surprised if I love you,
For all that you are,
I couldn't help it.
It's all your fault.

You are the bearer of unconditional things.
You held your breath,
And the door for me.
Thanks for your patience.

You're the best listener,
That I've ever met.
You're my best friend,
Best friend with benefits.
What took me so long?

I've never felt this healthy before.
I've never wanted, something rational.
I am aware now... I am aware now

You've already won me over,
In spite of me.
And don't be alarmed if I fall,
Head over Feet.
And don't be surprised if I love you,
For all that you are,
I couldn't help it.
It's all your fault.

Jonny smiled. Jessie did too. They both giggled, hugged, and kissed.
"And this time there's no ghosts possessing us!" Jonny said happily.
"Are we sure of that?" Jessie said sarcastically. They both laughed and kissed again.

JONNY: I can show you the world.
Shining, Shimmering, Splendid.
Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes.
Take you wonder by wonder.
Over, sideways, and under on a magic carpet ride.

A whole new world.
A new fantastic point of view.
No one to tell us no, or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

JESSIE: A whole new world.
A dazzling place I never knew.
But when I'm way up here, 
It's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with you

JONNY: Now I'm in a whole new world with you

JESSIE: Unbelievable sights,
Indescribable feeling.
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling.
Through an endless diamond sky,

A whole new world,
A hundred thousand things to see.
I'm like a shooting star,
I've come so far.
I can't go back to where I used to be.

JONNY: A whole new world,
A new horizon to pursue.

TOGETHER: I'll chase them anywhere.
There's time to spare. Let me share this
Whole new world with you.

JONNY: A whole new world
JESSIE: A whole new world.
JONNY: That's where we'll be
JESSIE: That's where we'll be
JONNY: A thrilling chase
JESSIE: A wonderous place
TOGETHER: For you and me.
