My Knight in Shining Armor

A Break...Getting On Well Together (Togetherness)

"Can we stop the horses?" Jonathan asks, as they come to a fork in their journey to Valencia. They have learned that that is where Queen Taylor and Tyler Seguin have gone. But the noble knight needs a break. He is still out of shape, but has been getting more fit. (His struggle is more mental than physical here.)

"Ugh, what's wrong with you? All you've done since we've left is complain," Patrick sighs. "You're supposed to be a bloody hero?"

Jonathan jumps off his horse in one leap and eyes the blond over the animal's back. "And I've got every intention of being one Prince Patrick, I'm going to save Tyler Seguin, I'm going to get your kingdom back...there's going to be some pretty impressive, legendary hero-ing happening around here real soon!"

"Whatever, what time is it?" Patrick asks, with an exaggerated sigh.

Jonathan turns, licks his finger and lifts it into the air. "It's going to be dark soon, and this forest will be crawling with bad guys who will want nothing more than to have their way with your tiny white boy body."

Patrick gasps and then exclaims, "How dare you!?" He turns to the bold knight at once.

"I was talking to Val. I say we find some place and hunker down for the night."

Val gives him a scolding look, as he jumps off of his horse. They continue on, searching for a place to rest. They finally find an abandoned camp and take refuge in it. Before it gets dark though, Patrick takes Jonathan to a secret open patch of grass, while Val looks for wood and is told to get everything set up.

Patrick spins Jonathan to face him, lightly gripping his arms. "Alright, we're going to start getting you back in shape, with the little sunlight we have, what better time can we start the training like now. Ready?"

"Sure. Ready."

"Good, now get your sword."

Jonathan gets his sword and engages Patrick in a fight. They continue their training and by the end, Jonathan looks strong and confident in himself once again. They head back to the camp, where Val has set everything up and is sitting on a log, roasting a marshmallow on a stick.

"We eat together." Jonathan sings.

"We drink together," Patrick sings.

"We work in perfect sync together," Val sings.

"We smile..." Jonathan sings.

"Frown..." Patrick sings.

"Blink..." Val sings.

"Together completely.

We walk together,

In time together," they all sing together.

"Can't help," Jonathan kicks off the solo singing once more.

"Yelp." Patrick sings.

"Kelp..." Val sings.

"But rhyme together.

Our voices chime together so neatly.

And togetherness is what we do,

Together me and him and you," they all sing in unison.

"Like rock," Jonathan sings.

"And scissors," Patrick sings.

"And paper," Val sings.

"And stuck together," Jonathan sings.

"All day together," Patrick sings.
