This is taken of the greatest showman,The other side. Just doing something new.enjoy!!! It might be a very long one!!some of the storyline will be from it but most is mine!
P.T Barnum and Roman Carlyle were in a pub. Patton tried to get roman to join his circus. Roman didn't want to leave his job that he already had to join a freak show as he like to call it."Come on Roman,it will be great!!" Patton exclaimed. "I'm not leaving my job to join a lousy circus" Patton was upset but he needed roman. Somehow and some way.
"Right here, right now I put the offer out. I don't wanna chase you down I know u see it" Patton sang. Roman sat there confused but still ignoring him.
"You run with me and i can cut you free.Out of treachery,the wall
you keep in. So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional Or you can risk it all and see ."Patton was still singing.
"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side" Roman for annoyed and decided to join in the song. "Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that will show you do
You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you" Roman sang and Patton sat in his chair confused but hopeful. Roman got up putting his scarf and hat on about to leave. "Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side" Patton got to the piano before Roman. "Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays" Roman turned around whilst smirking. "If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns" Patton got up and closed the piano. "But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
Wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you" Patton frowned as roman nearly left the pub. " Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?" Roman always liked to please himself. Patton rolled his eyes as he looked at roman. "Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen" Roman gave a bitter laugh. " I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine"
"Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime" Patton sang. He was getting annoyed at his attitude.
"15!" Roman exclaimed. " I do eight."
"12!" "Maybe nine?" "10!" Roman had won from 10%. "Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me" they both sang. Roman payed the guy as they left. Patton walked him to the circus still singing as they got in. "Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do" "to the other side." Patton said in the background "so if u do like me" "we're going to the other side" Patton also sang in the background. "Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side" They had stopped singing but soon enough,Romans jaw dropped as he saw the most beautiful thing in his world. The trapeze artist called Virgil,who was swinging around and twirling.He was dressed in all back and purple. Roman,of course,was blushing very intensely. "Looks like someone has a crush!" Patton exclaimed. He nervously laugh "I don't..." he denied. "That's Virgil. He's the trapeze Artist here. One of the best ones in the city too." Patton explained. "Hello Patton!" Another artist said. "Hello Logan!!! Roman this is Another artist.Logan. Logan say hello to roman." "Hello there Roman. A pleasure to meet u." "Urm..u too" he said shaking hands with Logan. "Is Virgil here??" "Just finishing off. Shouldn't be too long. I got to dash. Bye Patton!" He said running of. "Bye Logan!!!" He shouted. Not long after Patton showed roman the acts, Virgil came rushing out panicking. "Crap!!! Where is it!!!!" Virgil said "you okay there?" I asked walking up. "y-yes thank you. Urm....who are u might I ask." "Roman. Roman Carlyle." "Ur that theatre guy right?" "Yea.." "why are u here exactly?" "Barnum.." "ahh..Patton is very good a persuasion. I'm Virgil black." "Nice to meet u" "and what's ur act?" He asked. Roman stood there in confusion. "My act??" "Yea ur act.." "oh I don't have one.." "Everyone has an act.." he said walking of.
"Everyone has an act.." lingered in Romans mind for ages. He didn't know what to do. He was falling for a boy he had never met and he doesn't have an act. He was cautious whether he should ask what is his act. But he was cautious because he was scared someone might laugh. So the only logical thing to do is. Find Patton and talk to him secretly. He walked over to his office and knocked.Knock!knock!Knock!
There was no answer. Until, he heard giggling in the room and as he walked closer he heard everything. "Your so funny Logan!" "Erm...I'm not that great Patton." "As my boyfriend, I say u are!!!" Roman just stood there. And was speechless and just knocked. "Logan get off me!!!" Patton exclaimed. "Barnum its Roman!" "Oh Come in." I walked in to see his room was nicely decorated. "Morning Logan." "Morning.." "what brings u here roman??" " I need a discussion in private?" "Of course!" "Bye Patton!!" "Bye Logan!! Anyway the conversation?" "Yes...so some words have lingered in my brain so I need to ask..what is my act??" "Oh right yes...ur act. Virgil asked me about ur act. He said u were confused but that's my fault. So there are many acts...but one that Virgil suggests is a trapeze artist? U up for that?" Romans face lit up. He thought it was a perfect way to get to know Virgil. "I'll take it!" "Amazing!!!"There will be a part 2 soon but this is so long my fucking god😂😂😂
