Rachel: Tim... I have to tell you something.
Tim: *looks up at a butterfly* Is it something nice?
Rachel: *forlorn* Not exactly...
Tim: *walks after the butterfly* Then it can wait.
Rachel: *surprised* Wait? For how long??
Tim: *running after the butterfly now* Forever, and ever.
Rachel: *sigh* Forever, and ever is a very long time, Tim.
Tim: *laughing* Forever, isn't long at all, when I'm with you. *pause* I wanna call your name, Forever. And you will always answer, Forever. And we will always be, Forever you and me. Forever, and ever.
Rachel: Forever, and ever. Is a very long time, Tim.
Tim: Forever, isn't long at all! When I'm with you!
Rachel: *tackles Tim, and rolls down a grassy hill* I wanna stay like this, Forever. If only I could promise, Forever. Then we could just be we, Forever you and me.
Both: Forever, and ever.
Tim: I wanna be with you, Forever. I want you right beside me, Forever.
Rachel: One thing you should know, no matter where I go, we'll always be together!
Both: Forever, and ever.
Rachel: *lays on grass, watching the sun set over a purple and pink sky* ... Tim.
Tim: *eyes closed* Hm?
Rachel: I'm moving away.
"I'm moving away."
Tim: *eyes shoot open, sits up* WHAT?
Rachel: *tears well up in eyes* I have to move away. Daddy says we can't afford our house here anymore, and we have to go move in with my gramma.
Tim: No, no, no! You promised we'd always be together!
Rachel: I know I did. And we will. Daddy says maybe if we get enough money, we can come back here for vacations.
Tim: *tears streaming down face* You could live with me.
Rachel: *sad smile* Where would I sleep?
Tim: *desperately* On the floor, or in my bed! You don't have to leave!
Rachel: *sniffles, watching the fireflies come out* Tim.
Tim: *wipes eyes* What?
Rachel: Remember the movie we used to watch together? 'Charlotte's Web'?
Tim: Yeah.
Rachel: Well, take Charlotte's advice; Chin up. *holds out hand, which a firefly lands on*
Tim: How much longer til you move?
Rachel: Daddy says we'll be moving on Sunday.
Tim: But, it's Wednesday now. You only have four days left here. Then you'll be gone.
Rachel: No, Mommy says that when you love someone a lot, they stay in your heart forever.
Tim: *sniffles*
Rachel: *takes Tim's hand and runs finger over the creases*
Tim: Hey... *giggles and sniffles* That tickles...
Rachel: *points* That line means you're shy. And that one means you're big-hearted. The last one means you're good.
Tim: That's cool... *sniffles* But I still can't believe you're leaving.
Rachel: But know that... *places firefly in Tim's hand, and gently closes it round it so the hand doesn't crush the firefly* I'll always be with you.
Always be with you.
