Random PR1 Headcanons/Ideas Pt. 10
A.k.a. The Musical Episode
Lucky by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
(Set in the 1990s, because it's my favourite time period in the movies about NYC)
Apple and Larry are the official faces in the business deals between their respective companies. They talk over e-mail, and not always about work. Talking about pastry, and cats, and books they like, they become friends. Apple comes to the US on a business trip and finally meets Larry in person. Over lunches and dinners and evening dates in Central Park in the next month they fall in love. Apple has to leave eventually, and their parting is really sad. But then one day, a few months later, she hears a doorbell, and sees him standing outside her apartment.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own by U2
(Vigilante-verse, looking at the DC AU I did in some rb)
Glacier wasn't always a vigilante. He was Chaos, a long time ago. Him and Viking, against the criminal underworld of Salem City, not knowing who else to trust. He was Cryous once too, insane enough to hurt anyone who dared get close. After gaining his mind back going out was out of the question for him, too afraid that he'd lose control and kill again. That's when Viking (now Phoenix) comes into picture. The one who fought injustice beside him in the past, and who Chilled almost killed in his insanity. The same old Ze, who was by his side then and got hurt, soft and understanding, but fierce and stubborn — still trying to help. And Chilled has to learn to trust Ze — and to trust himself.
Home By The Sea by Genesis
(Takes place in the 1980s. More of a music video)
Follows Matt. He's asked by his friends to clean up a house they bought. That house is old and still has the previous owner's things, laying around under a thick layer of dust. It feels haunted by the ghost of the last owner, because here's his whole life, in photos, books, and clothes. Matt, interested, picks up one of the photos. There's a boy there in glasses, holding onto a giant dog. The next is the same boy, a little older, building some sophisticated model, with his tongue out and absolutely (cutely) concentrated. Then this guy's graduation photo, next to a dog collar. There's this guy's journals and books, and more photos. Matt learns about this Tom through the mementos of his life left behind. He learns about this guy's fate later, and for a long time feels haunted by a ghost from those photos and diaries.
Across the Stars by John Williams
(More of a ballet than a musical)
About two Jedi knights, separated by the war; they lead their battalions in the opposite sides of the Galaxy. The two of them are the main figures on stage, right next to each other, looking in each other's direction, but never catching the sight of their lover behind the backs of the soldiers and the droids. Their dance moves mirror each other, they move in tact, but there's an invisible wall between them. The ballet ends with a tragedy of Order 66, where it's the first time in months (and their last time ever) when they really see each other, feel each other.
Closing Time by Semisonic
(Set in the late 1990s and has Friends/HIMYM feeling to it)
A few seasons of the sitcom have passed. Larry, who always flirted with all the boys, and Apple, who moved from the UK a year ago, finally started dating. Ze and Chilled are about to move to Minnesota together. Kara and Skadj moved out of their parents' house. It's Tay's last shift this evening. Em and Pasta finally got their late radio show approved. Side and Speedy gonna have a vacation to the beach for the next few weeks. Bryce and Heck made it through a rough financial patch, and can finally take a few days to themselves. Court's Minnie has had her first school project in the middle of the night yesterday, so Court has her deserved Saturday night. Matt and Tom have finally figured out their situationship, and have their first date here. Jeremy is on his way to pick Platy up after he closes up the bar, as it's nearing 2am. As they leave, one by one, or in pairs, Platy leaves last, turning off the light, flipping the sign and locking the door. This marks the last episode of the show.
