( based on the song from Aladdin. I changed the lyrics a bit to fit roman. )
roman stayed up late most nights working on projects, scripts, and other video ideas for Thomas. but lately, especially after recent events, roman was beginning to feel like he wasn't living up to the full of Thomas's potential. Thomas had made the choice to go to the wedding, technically on Romans "punishment" and pattons persuasions. but maybe Thomas in the end, chose to go because he felt like his creativity and passion were no longer good enough to get him the part.
so that led to roman up late. laying in his bed with several scrapbooks filled with all the performances Thomas had been in. playbills from community theatres alongside photos of Thomas dressed up as various characters. the memories of those simpler times made roman both nostalgic. but that warm feeling was replaced with bitter feelings he couldn't quite place. maybe Thomas didn't put himself out there on stage, because deep down, he wasn't proud of him anymore.
proud of your side
ill make you proud of your side
believe me bad as I've been tom, you're in for a pleasant surprise
I've wasted time, I've wasted me
so say im slow for my age, a late bloomer okay, ill agree
roman climbed out of bed, closing the books and then teleporting out of the room he ended up in his theatre, he sang as he walked up the aisle to the stage
that I've been one rotten side, some prince, some pride and some joy
but i'll get over these lousing up, messing up, screwing up times
you'll see man, now comes the better part
someones gonna make good, cross this stupid heart
make good and finally make you
proud of your side
he exited stage left and walked down a hallway that had several framed photos similar to the ones in his scrapbook, as well as some awards, his finger traced the frame of one of the pictures. he continued until he reached a door with a gold star with his name on it. he sighed as he pushed open the door and sat down at the vanity, the mirror's reflection stared him down as he sang
tell me that im just a louse and a loafer,
you won't get a fight here, no man
say im a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
but that couldn't be all that I am
water flows under the bridge
let it pass, let it go
there's no good reason for you to believe me
not yet, I know, but
the chair fell back as he abruptly stood and made his way around the room, feeling more determined, believing the words he was singing, he would do better, try harder than he ever did before to make his hosts' dreams come true. he opened the large clear doors that led out onto a balcony
someday and soon,
ill make you proud of your side
though I can't make myself taller, smarter, more handsome, or wise
ill do my best what else can I do,
since I wasn't made perfect, but ill have to do
tom I will try to, try hard to make you
proud of your side
