<Everyone’s looking for that something>
<One thing that makes them all complete>
<You’ll find it in the strangest places>
<Places you never knew it could be>
Holly sighed happily to herself as she watched Hare and Nancy.
The male rabbit had scooped Nancy up in his arms and he was
swinging her round, they were both laughing
"Look at them, they look so happy, they were made for each
other"
"Yeah, hard to believe they’re total opposites" Genki whispered
back
"But does it matter? It’s like he’s found his other half" Holly said
gently, watching them quietly
<Some find it in the face of their children>
<Some find it in their lover’s eyes>
<Who can deny the joy it brings>
<When you’ve found that special thing>
Unaware they were being watched, all Hare knew was the feelings
he got just staring into her eyes.
Smiling, Nancy gently raised her mouth to his, closing his eyes as
they gently kissed, Hare realized that he had never been so happy
"Is this what it’s like to be in love" he thought
<You’re flying without wings>
<Some find it sharing every morning>
<Some in the solitary night>
<You’ll find it in the words of others>
A lighter-than-air feeling ran through Hare as they headed off into
the trees, holding hands.
Ever since they had confessed how they had felt to each other,
Hare couldn’t imagine waking up without finding Nancy lying by his
side anymore.
They walked into the dark forest a little way, enjoying each other’s company,
then the two rabbits sat down on a log and stared up at
the twinkling stars
"Aren’t they beautiful?" Nancy whispered
"Not beautiful as you" he whispered back
She laughed and that was the most beautiful sound to him at this moment
"Charmer"
"I know" he gently stroked her cheek lovingly
<A simple line can make you laugh or cry>
<You’ll find it in the deepest friendship>
<The kind you cherish all your life>
<And when you know how much that means>
As she rested her head on his shoulder, Hare thought back to all
the times he had watched her flirt shamelessly with Blue and had wondered why he
hated watching her doing that
"Shall we go back?" he asked
"If you want"
Getting up, they headed back the way they had come
"I love you, you know that" she whispered
"Yes" Hare, his arm round her shoulders, smiled at her words.
True, he thought, they had started off as friends, but they were
so much more now
Hare smiled to himself, certain that she was the one the wanted
to spend his rest of his life with
Then they re-entered the clearing where the Searchers had set
up camp for the night
<You’ve found that special thing>
<You’re flying without wings>
<So impossible cos they may seem>
<You’ve got to fight for every dream>
Sitting by the campfire, Hare thought back to when he’d first met
her, he had never seen anyone so beautiful in his life before, but
he had been confused, for someone who thought with their head
over their heart, those feelings had been totally alien, but yet he
had known what he was feeling.
He had been too scared to say anything, what if she hadn’t felt
the same and he just was going to embarrass himself by telling
her the truth, but now he, no, they’d both found true happiness
in each other’s arms
"Coming to bed" she suddenly took his hands and shook the male
rabbit from
his thoughts.
Nancy gently led him away from the fire and Hare didn’t protest
in spite of the knowing smiles from the others
Later as they lay next to each other, he suddenly put one arm
around her, then he pulled her close and she snuggled up against
him.
<Cos who’s to know which one you let go>
<Will it make you complete>
<Well, for me, it’s waking up beside you>
<To watch the sunrise on your face>
Hare slowly opened his eyes, yawned and turned to stare at the sleeping form
lying next to him.
The slowly rising sun was turning Nancy’s face a pale orange and
he watched her gentle breathing for a minute before reaching to
brush the spiky tuft of fur away from her eyes a bit.
This slow, careful movement woke her up.
"Morning, handsome" she smiled up at him
"I love you" Hare whispered
<To know that I can say I love you>
<In any given time or place>
<It’s little things that only I know>
<Those are the things that make you mine>
Every touch, every kiss, every caress, it was the little things like
them which mattered to him.
The little things that told him she loved him.
Hare closed his eyes, he couldn’t imagine life without her now.
The joy, the love, the feeling of walking on air, he needed Nancy,
she was his other half, his ultimate treasure, his heart and soul.
She was his life now, all that truly mattered and he would give anything up for
her.
He smiled to himself, then opened his eyes again
"I never want to lose you" Hare whispered.
The feelings he got right then, staring at Nancy, he felt like he
could fly just knowing that they had each other.
<And it’s like flying without wings>
<Cos you’re my special thing>
<I’m flying without wings>
<And you’re the place my life begins>
"What’s on your mind?" Nancy suddenly asked.
"Oh, nothing" he replied
"Well, if you’re not going to tell me, I’m going to get breakfast"
she leant over, gently kissed his forehead, then threw her blanket
back, got up and walked over to the fire where Holly was cooking breakfast.
He just sat under his blanket, watching her talking and laughing
with the others.
She always seemed so happy, so full of life, his complete opposite,
but she still was the one he treasured most, money came second
now he had Nancy
"With you at my side, I almost feel like flying" he whispered quietly
to himself, watching her.
<And you’ll be where it ends>
<I’m flying without wings>
<And that’s the joy you bring>
<I’m flying without wings>
"Alright, gang, let’s move out" Genki cried.
As the others packed up their belongings, Hare drew Nancy against
his side and they watched the others follow the youth.
When they both were alone in the clearing, they both moved closer
to each other to share a gentle, passionate kiss.
"Hey, you two, come on" Genki had turned and was waving at them.
"Race ya" Nancy called, then she was off, sprinting after the others.
Hare smiled to himself and watched her for a minute, thinking of the happiness
she brought him before he ran after her.
