Pilot Hugh & Co.

Chapter 3: Mr. Blue Sky

As the last song of the album Don't Bring Me Down faded out, Melvyn pestered Hugh to play Out of the Blue.

"Hey Hugh?" Melvyn asked.

"Yes, Mel?" Replied Hugh.

"You know—since we're up in the sky and all that, can you play Out of the Blue pretty please?" He asked eagerly. Hugh sighed a very weary sigh.

"Uuugh, fine, I guess!" He grumbled and begrudgingly pulled the cd out and popped it in.

The three then listened to the songs on that album.

Hugh wasn't ready for what was going to happen when Mr. Blue Sky came on.

When the drum beat came on, Melvyn started tapping his feet. Hugh became increasingly nervous.

"Oh.... Oh no..." he whispered, shaking slightly.

"THE SUN IS SHINING IN THE SKY~" Melvyn belted. Hugh jumped a little bit.

"Please no... nooooo!" Hugh qualmed, he put his face in his hands and tried to ignore the singing cellist.

"THERE AIN'T A CLOOOUD IN SIGHT

IT STOPPED RAININ'—EVERYBODY'S HERE TO PLAY

AND DON'T YOU KNOW, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NEW DAY! HEEEE-EEEEE-EEEEY!"

Then came the second drumbeat and Melvyn tapped his knees with his hands which made the plane shake, and Hugh cringed in fear and embarrassment.

"RUNNING DOWN THE AVENUE

*pant* *pant* *pant*

SEE HOW THE SUUUUUN SHINES BRIGHTLY

ON THE STREETS WERE ONCE WAS PITY

MR. BLUE SKY IS LIVING HERE TODAY—HEEEEE-EEEEE-EEEEEY"

Cue the next drum beat.

"MR. BLUE SKY

PLEASE TELL US WHY

YOU HAD TO HIIIIDE AWAY FOR SOOOO LOOONG

SOOOOO LOOOOONG

WHERE DID WE GO WROOOOONG?

MR. BLUE SKY

PLEASE TELL US WHY

YOU HAD TO HIIIIDE AWAY FOR SOOOO LOOONG

SOOOOO LOOOOONG

WHERE DID WE GO WROOOOONG?"

Cue the fire extinguisher tapping, Melvyn kicking Hugh's seat which was a little ways in front of him, so he had to stretch his leg and could only tap the seat with his foot. Hugh jolted up and got startled.

"Melvyn!" He cried.

Hugh hoped that this situation wouldn't get worse.

But to his dismay, it did.

Climbing out of his seat, Melvyn appeared a few inches away from Hugh's face and sang right in front of his face.

"Mel how-" Hugh started.

"HEY YOU WITH THE PRETTY FACE

WELCOME TO THE HUUUUMAAAAN RACE

A CELEBRATION, MR. BLUE SKY'S UP THERE WAITING

AND TODAY IS THE DAY WE WAITED FOOOOO-OOOOOO-OOOOOOR"

Melvyn happily skipped his way back to his seat to the beat of the next fire extinguisher tapping.
