[It is the 30th of November... Axl, Tifa, and the Brotherhood are on the last stretch to the new homestead... Sinister City, Utah.]
Tifa: You know Axl, we would have been there alot faster if you didn't make so many stops along the way... Crappy fast-food resteraunts, pointless tourist traps... and why in the hell did we have to stop at that county fair? I thought you decided to leave all the backwoods stuff back in Oklahoma?
Axl: I just HAD to stop at that recording booth! They let you choose a song, and sing it... recording it onto a cd! I GOTTA give this song to Mama Rose... it shows her just how much I love her. She's... the best.
Tifa: From the sound of what you were singing... I don't think she's going to "love" it that much. I mean... does she even LIKE rock?
Axl: Tifa, may I remind you she IS the Vice President in Charge of Everything at [adult swim]? She's totally cool! She's HARDCORE! She's-
Tifa: Aw cram it, Axl. Just stick the damn cd in and let's get this over with.
Axl: Alright, geez, are you on your period or something?
Tifa: ...
Axl: Sorry... And besides, it's not just ANY rock music, babe. It's FLYLEAF! And Lacey Mosley is like, THE awesomest rock chick in the history of the galaxy!!!~1 And so, not only is this song a tribute to my mom, but it is a tribute to FlyLeaf singer, Lacey, and to all of the rock chicks of the world! From my mom, to Lacey, to... uh... Avril Lavigne!
Tifa: ... You're kidding, right?
Axl: And now, without further adieu, me, Axl, singing "All Around Me", by FLYLEAF!!! I love you Rose...
[Axl slides the disc into the car's stereo... hits play... and the song begins.]
My hands are searching for you...
My arms are outstretched towards you...
I feel you on my fingertips...
My tongue dances behind my lips for you...
This fire rising through my being...
Burning I'm not used to seeing you.
I'm alive... I'm alive.
I can feel you all around me,
Thickening the air I'm breathing,
Holding on to what I'm feeling,
Savoring this heart that's healing.
My hands float up above me,
And you whisper you love me.
And I begin to to fade...
Into our secret place.
The music makes me sway...
The angels singing say...
We are alone with you...
I am alone and they are too with you.
And so I cry...
The light is white...
And I see you.
I'm alive... I'm alive...
I'm Alive.
I can feel you all around me,
Thickening the air I'm breathing,
Holding on to what I'm feeling,
Savoring this heart that's healing.
Take my hand I give it you...
Now you own me, All I AM...
You said you would never leave me...
I believe you, I believe-
I believe you, I believe-
I believe you, I believe-
I believe you, I believe-
I believe you, I believe-
I believe you, I Believe-
Tifa: What the heck...
Axl: What?
Tifa: The cd keeps skipping. ... Can't you hear it?
Axl: ... The song's ended a bit ago, Tifa... ya hearing things or something?
Tifa: [as she's driving, Tifa looks into the rear-view mirror, speaking to the Brotherhood] You guys don't hear it? It keeps repeating, "I believe you, I believe..." ...
Joe: Uh...
Jim: ...
Jon: DAMN!
Joe: [looks at Jon] ... Dude?
Jon: Wha'?
Joe: Just... no.
Jon:
Tifa: ... I guess I must be hearing things... well, anyway, I've stopped hearing it. Man, that was strange... Are you sure you didn't repeat that line a few times at the end, Axl?
Axl: Tifa, trust me. Everything's fine. You're just crazy. Now drive.
[Tifa shakes her head to herself, and presses eject on the stereo... but when the cd comes out, and Tifa pulls it out, she catches a glimpse of a face in the cd's reflection... not her own... but that of a woman... in gothic attire... blonde hair with black streaks, and eyes behind red contacts. The woman smiles deviously... a smile, dripping with menace... Tifa's eyes widen and she looks behind her... but all she sees is Jim, Joe, and Jon. Tifa returns her gaze to the cd... which now is devoid of any odd reflection. Tifa begins to look on with unease, placing the cd back in its case. She returns to driving... sweat slowly beginning to creep along the side of her 'brow...]
