Aricka was being put in the harness that would make her fly, and she was nervous. She'd flown with this dozen of times. "I gotta crow..." she sings under her breath. Dodie was Wendy; thank goodness it was someone she knew.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*time skip*
Aricka flies in, and her and Dodie do their monologue as "Wendy" sews her shadow on. Then she sings her first song,
"Conceited?
Not me,
It's just that I am what I am
And I'm me!
When I look at myself
And I see in myself
All the wonderful things that I see
If I'm pleased with myself
I have ev'ry good reason to be.
I've gotta crow!
I'm just the cleverest fellow
'Twas ever my fortune to know;
I taught a trick to my shadow
To stick to the tip of my toe
I've gotta crow!
I've gotta brag!
I think it's sweet
I have fingers and feet I can wiggle and wag.
I can climb trees and play tag with the breeze
In the meadows below
I've gotta crow!
If I were a very ordinary
Everyday thing,
I'd never be heard cock-a-doodling
'Round like a bird!
So Naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me,
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow!
I'm really a rare thing,
Such a fair thing,
I can't keep still!
I'm bursting with pride
And I just couldn't keep it inside
If I tried so
Naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me,
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow!" then she lets go and crows.
*time skip*
It was intermission now, and Roman came up and tackled her. "YOU'RE DOING SO AMAZING I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" she laughs and hugs him back.
"I can't talk right now, I have to get back inside, but thanks, Ro."

Aricka looks down at "Jane" played by Ruby, one of the girls in the theater. "Think lovely thoughts." then the girl starts to fly. Dodie hugs her, and then they start to fly as Aricka sings,
"Now come with me where dreams are born,
And time is never planned.
Just think of lovely things.
And your heart will fly on wings,
Forever in Never Never Land..." the pair fly out the "window" and to the other side of the stage. She hugs Ruby, who was laughing, and they wait for the curtain calls.
Soon it was her turn, and they "fly" her over the window, and she walks forward and bows while everyone claps.
