Twelve 🐚
It is the next evening. Prince Tyler and Josh enter the beautiful lagoon, full of enchanting animals. Ryan and Dallon enter and look on from nearby.
"No boy's ever dared to join me out here. Too afraid to muddy their shoes. But not you!"
Josh beams.
"Peaceful, isn't it? Not another living soul for miles and miles. If only..."
Prince Tyler looks away. Out in the distance, Brendon emerges.
"Hi guys! What's happening?"
"Nothing is happening?" Dallon cried.
Ryan grabs his beak in his claw.
"Shh! They spent all morning on horseback, then an afternoon picnic, now this, and not so much as a peck on the cheek!"
"Oh no!" Brendon cried. "There's only one day left!"
Josh smiled at Prince Tyler. He smiles politely back.
"So, how about this weather?" Prince Tyler asked, awkwardly.
"We gotta do something, and quick." Ryan said.
"But what?" Dallon asked.
"This could be our last chance!" Brendon cried.
"We got to create the right kinda mood."
"You mean like candlelight and champagne?" Dallon suggested.
Dan and Phil enter to spy on the gathering.
"Nonsense." Ryan said. "It don't take all that. Everything we need, we got right here."
He enlists the animals as a calypso band.
"Percussion."
They start to play.
"Strings."
Then they start to play.
"Winds."
Then they start playing.
"Words."
(Ryan)
There you see him
Sitting there across the way
He don't got a lot to say
But there's something about him
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the boy
Yes you want him
Look at him you know you do
Possible he want you too
There is one way to ask him
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the boy
Ryan looks at Brendon and Dallon.
"Sing with me now."
(All)
Sha la la la la la my oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the boy
Sha la la la la la ain't it sad?
Ain't it a shame too bad
He gonna miss the boy
"You know, I really ought to know your name." Prince Tyler said. "Maybe I could guess. Elijah? Johnathan? Zackary?"
"Josh." Ryan said. "His name is Josh."
"Josh?" Prince Tyler asked.
Josh shakes his head.
"Josh! Hey, that's kinda pretty. Okay. Josh."
(All)
Sha la la la la la float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the boy
Sha la la la la la music play
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss the boy
(Ryan)
You've gotta kiss the boy
(All)
You've gotta kiss the boy
You've gotta kiss the boy
You've gotta kiss the boy
(Ryan)
Oh! Go on and kiss the boy!
The song has worked its magic. At long last, Prince Tyler leans in to kiss Josh.
"Oh no you don't!" Phil shouted.
"Quickly! Dan added. Block that kiss!"
Dan and Phil knock the boat and shock all the animals with their electricity. The animals make a commotion as they scatter and exit.
"Whoa!" Prince Tyler cried. "What happened???"
He steadies the rocking boat with the oars.
"Josh, are you all right?"
Josh nods, but inside he is crushed. Prince Tyler starts rowing.
"Well, we ought to get back anyway. Gotta rest up for my birthday tomorrow! Ol Mark's planning a ball to help find the boy with that voice. He wants me married by sunset, or else!"
Josh allowed a tear to escape, but he smiles for Prince Tyler's sake as they leave to go back to the palace.
