Launchpad's Love Story

Last Dance of the Night

After the ball ended, Leela helped the kids get ready for bed.

Once they were all in bed, they talked about how much fun they had.

"Did you kids have a fun time tonight?" Leela asked them.

"Yeah. You're parents bringing in the whole circus was so cool." Louie said.

"Though, I thought it could have used fireworks." Dewey said.

"Dewey, they can't set off fireworks indoors." Huey said.

"Killjoy." Dewey said.

"I really liked your song, Leela." Webby said.

"Thank you, sweetie. Now, time to go to sleep." Leela said.

They all groaned.

"We're not sleepy though." Louie said.

"Hmmmm, maybe I can help with that." Leela said.

She then began to sing.

You are still awake and it's half past your bedtime

The sandman had a date he didn't keep.

But when the lambs commence,

to jump across the fence,

I'll count them all until you fall asleep...

The first little lamb jumped over the fence,

and was off to the land of nod.

The second and third were close behind,

like three little peas in a pod.

The fourth little lamb was too chubby to jump,

he crawled under instead.

The fifth little lamb wasn't there at all,

he must have stayed home in bed.

Number six jumped around as confused as could be,

he didn't know where he had been.

He jumped over that's true, but before he was through,

he jumped over, jumped back, and jumped over again.

The next little lamb, was the littlest lamb,

too little for such a big leap.

Though he tried like a scout,

he soon tuckered out,

and the littlest lamb was asleep.

The littlest lamb is asleep.

The kids all smiled as they heard her sing her lullaby.

And as expected, they drifted off to sleep.

When Leela ended her song, she tucked them all in and gave them each a kiss on the forehead.

She then turned around and saw Launchpad leaning against the doorway.

He held out his hand for her.

She took his hand and he lead her out to the roof.

"Miss Leela, would you grant me one last dance for the evening?" Launchpad asked.

"I'd be delighted, Launchpad." Leela said.

He then turned on the music, took her by the waist and the two danced the night away.

It was a truly magical moment for the two of them.

As they danced, it felt as if no one existed except the two of them.

When the song ended as well as their dance, Leela rested her head on Launchpad's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

"Thank you for being there for me, Launchpad. I never could have done it without you." She said.

"You're voice deserves to be heard and I wasn't going to let you be afraid forever. Remember, if you are ever scared, I will be there to protect you and help you along the way." He said.

She looked up at him.

"I love you, Launchpad." She said.

"I love you too." He said.

The two move in closer and kiss.
