NOW PLAYING-ENIGMA-SADNESS-Melissa waxes poetic as Edd gets increasingly slushier-much to Eddy's growing nausea...(SEQUENCED BY Clubhouse Productions)
"The poetry test is today!" Edd yelped, reading the blackboard.
"Yo' Sweetness is my weakness!...Well, that's the tune list finished!" said Eddy triumphantly,
scribbling down the last of the must-have grooves for his cabaret.
Edd sat palpitating with horror next to him in Literature
class. He'd forgotten all about the poem!
"How can you think
of Barry White at a time like this?!?" he spat.
" We are in huge trouble, mister!"
"ease up, Double D! look at the time! Theres like 10 more people to
go before us, and theres only 10 minutes left! Uh-oh, look whos standing up!" he whispered mockingly.
Edd looked up and felt his heartbeat accelerate when he saw Melissa gingerly
stand up, feeling everyone's eyes burn into her. She gulped and felt her face redden.
"Um..." she started. " I wrote this poem, I have to admit, this
morning, so it's a bit rushed. But I hope you like it. It's
titled "This Girl."
"Oh, this'll be good." Snorted Kevin, his caste up on the desk.
The class tittered and Melissa ducked her head slightly with
nervousness. Edd rested his chin on his hands in
anticipation. Eddy yawned and leaned back in his chair, his
hands behind his head. Ed, who was with Edd and Eddy's class
because the remedial teacher was on maternity leave, picked
his nose while no-one was looking. Rolf wiggled his little
finger in his ear.
"Let me wait no longer, Smurfhat-Melissa!" he urged.
She giggled with a twinge of fear, took a deep breath and said:
"This girl she once was beautiful.
This girl she never cried.
This girl could never understand
Why people hurt and lied.
This girl had such a road to go.
This girl would lead the way.
This girl had so much more to know
She'd rather dance and play.
"Snoresville!" scoffed Kevin.
Edd looked on, enraptured. He slowly saw Melissa unravel her soul to the class while Kevin insensitively picked her apart within a few sentences. She gulped and continued.
For this girl the stage was her whole life
And she acted all the time.
From cabarets to high school plays
She was in the light that's lime.
Her parents split and then she'd doubt
Her own goodness and worth.
Edd heard Melissa's voice crack slightly as she said;
Could she live or could she live without
Love while she walked the Earth?
Her past has left her damaged
And her scars cut far within.
But somehow she has the strength to manage,
Afresh she must begin.
Whether or not it's loneliness
Or hurt, she doesn't know.
But a guy from the place where she must progress
Has made her emotions flow.
By this time the class had fell completely silent. A pencil dropped, and all eyes shifted in Eddy's direction.
"Sorry!" he peeped picking it up. Edd didn't hear it, all he heard was Melissa. Melissa and her scars, Melissa and her emotions, Melissa and her cabaret, Melissa and her light that's lime. He melted as he watched a lazy tear trickle down her cheek.
The floodgates of her broken heart
Swung open as he talked.
Her concentration fell apart
When past her he would walk.
His nervousness, his timid laugh
So soon She learnt to love.
His questioning and knowledge have
Reached to the stars above.
Melissa's piece of paper crumpled in her hands as she struggled with the monsoon of tears welling in her eyes. Eddy shifted his gaze to Edd, who was wringing his hands and staring, starry-eyed, straight ahead at her.
"Take a picture, Double D! It'll last longer!" he sneered.
He sees her not, he knows her not,
He loves her not, she fears.
The sun won't shine on this heart of mine
She says through falling tears.
She fell out of favour with Heaven
Somewhere and she's here for the hell of it now.
The frightened little child inside of her,
She springs back to life somehow.
Her hammer is her confidence-
Melissa sniffled and Edd flicked a tear away from his eye with his finger.
She needs to smash this wall-
Eddy shook his head in disgust.
And break right through, her love to you
She loves the most of all.
Ed made patterns on the desk with his tongue.
Melissa gasped and massaged her eyes.
"Thank you." She breathed before sitting down. The class sat
in deathly silence before a sniffle from the back broke the
eerie tranquillity.
"My eye's itchy...I swear!" defied Kevin, rubbing his eye.
"I've got hayfever."
"yoy-I am racked with the hay plague also!" sniffled Rolf,
putting his head in his hands.
"Sissies!" jeered Eddy. "make sure you all hold hands next
time!"
"ain't you got a yellow brick road to follow, squirt?"
snarled Kevin, rubbing his nose. The class squirmed with
giggles and the awkward atmosphere dropped.
Melissa let a giggle past her quaking lips as she flicked
her eyes at Edd, who was trembling with building emotion.
That's the most beautiful sentiment I've ever heard!" he
thought to himself. "What insight! What sensitivity! What
panache! What chance in a month of Sundays do I stand with her?!?
Whoever she wrote that sonnet about is someone she considers
very special indeed! I'm gastronomically out of this guy's league!"
his face grew sad.
"Oh, get over it Shakespeare!"
snarled Eddy bitterly, glaring at Edd as he gazed in admiration at Melissa.
"Yep...It's stopped again!" noticed Ed.
"oh no&...I'm next!" panicked Edd, snapping up out of his seat.
"No way!" denied Eddy, pulling on his arm. "Sit back down."
"No, I'm after Melissa on the register." Edd said, up on his feet again.
"How perceptive of you!" sneered Eddy with a cheeky grin.
Edd's eyebrows drooped achingly. He was getting tired of Eddy
taunting him. Opting for improvisation, he took a deep breath and-
RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
"Saved by the bell." He sighed.
"C'mon, Romeo. We've gotta lot of shindig-shenanigans to muster
up!" ordered Eddy, dragging Edd out of the classroom.
"where are we going?" asked Edd, teetering behind.
"It's VegaBreakin' time!" laughed Eddy as they scooted out of the school gates.
"big butt, so what?" slurped Ed, lolling behind.
