First Verse : Video

[wall_flower]

This...is nothing like Lima.

[Despite the fact that she's not at home, Marley's actually looking rather upbeat about it. There's a friendly smile on her lips as she looks down at her D-Terminal.]

It's not a bad thing! It's just--It's different than home. But the little creatures are so adorable, and they're all being so nice!

You're nice, too, Marley! [Everyone, please direct your attention to the little Native American bird hovering just over Marley's shoulder. Marley laughs nervously as she leans her head just enough to bump against Hawkmon's.]

Aww, thanks Hawkmon. See what I mean? So nice!

[Hawkmon all but perches on her shoulder, though it doesn't seem to bother her. She's still all smiles.]

Oh, we saw the Statue of Liberty here! Can you believe it?! I know this isn't New York or anything close to it, but just seeing it reminds me of home. Or rather something that happened at home.

Oh? I didn't think a statue would be so important to you.

Yeah, it reminds me of my audition for the glee club at my high school. The show choir. I sang "New York State of Mind".

You can sing? Will you sing now?

[Marley's eyes glance to the D-Terminal as her smile falters before they focus on Hawkmon.]

I...I don't think anyone is going to want to hear me sing. Maybe another time? I'll sing just for you when we find our room.

Fourth room on the second floor, right?

That's what it says. It shouldn't be too much farther.

[Marley waves to the screen, once more smiling brightly before she cuts off the feed.]

Comments

[makoinfused]

[ Wow adorable. ]

I'm impressed. [ Which was probably obvious from his reaction, ] No need to be embarrassed with a voice like that! I'm glad I got to hear it.

[wall_flower]

[Her smile brightens as she reaches up to tug on her hat some. Hawkmon, however, can be seen in the background flying in circles, muttering something about how awesome the song is.]

I'm glad you liked it. I really do like to sing, but I know that not everyone is into that sort of thing.

[makoinfused]

Their loss. [ shrugs. more awesome songs for him, then ] I'm Zack, by the way.

[wall_flower]

I'm Marley Rose. It's nice meeting you, Zack! And singing for you, too. It was fun.

[makoinfused]

Nice to meet you too, Marley. And I'm glad; you'll do it again sometime, right?

[wall_flower]

If you want me to, I don't mind. I know so many different songs. I'll have a hard time picking just one.

Then sing another one, Marley!

Not now, Hawkmon! [Still, she's laughing.]

[makoinfused]

Hmm... [ He tilts his head as he tries to think, ] Next time I'll pick one. How's that sound?

[wall_flower]

Oh? Do you know a lot of songs? Are they any I know?

[makoinfused]

Not many. [ Zack? Singing? That's funny. He probably knows some stupid military chants or something. ] Actually, I was thinking you could give me a couple songs and I'd pick one for you. Seems to make more sense.

[wall_flower]

That would be better, wouldn't it? [She laughs as Hawkmon once more settles on her shoulder.] It's a deal! I'll give a few songs, and you can pick one for the next time.

What songs are you going to give him, Marley?

Hm. How about..."Use Somebody", "Someone Like You", and "Mine"? There's three!

[makoinfused]

[ Zack nods, glancing off screen for a few seconds. He seems to be deep in thought. Finally, he speaks up again, grinning. ]

Alright, I got it! [ Are you going to tell her, Zack? No. No he is not. ] Next time you want to sing for me, I'll tell you which song I picked.

[wall_flower]

Okay! I look forward to it!

[She really is. Singing is her passion and she wouldn't pass up a chance to perform, especially if someone like Zack is letting her.]

[makoinfused]

Right. I'll hold you to that.

[ GOOD. With that he gives her a two finger salute, ] See you later, Marley, Hawkmon.

[wall_flower]

Bye! Nice meeting you!

Thanks for getting her to sing!

Hawkmon!
