17. Finally Falling

Elizabeth-Lillian Thornton had another secret added to her conscience and it was her secret identity. That she was the other sidekick to Captain Man; Girl Danger.

Elizabeth Lillian won the lead as Penny in the school musical "Uptown Downtown" which is about this girl with two suitors, both handsome, but one is rich, and the other is poor. Jasper Dunlop played the rich man while Henry Hart played the poor one.

A lot of things happened over the last couple days, Elizabeth-Lillian's mother Briar Rose Thornton revealed that she was four months pregnant into her fifth pregnancy she didn't tell anyone until she was certain Jack AKA Mr.Thornton found out and he was over the moon. And when the Thorntons moved to town a couple of more southern families moved to Swellview including some of Elizabeth-Lillian's closest friends who were twins but thankfully not identical, Regina and Valarie Zagorski. Valarie pressured Elizabeth into letting her put some scary monster makeup on her so she wouldn't fail her stage makeup class. And Elizabeth reluctantly agreed. ————— Later that night at the Thorntons' home... "okay and I am now done!" Valarie exclaimed cheerfully. Elizabeth looked in the mirror.

"Wow! I really do look like a freakish zombie!"

"I know right! Now let's take some pics for my class!" Soon Mrs.Thornton came down the stairs rocking her adorable baby bump.

"Hey girls, how's it going?"

"Good, I just made Elizabeth look like a freakish zombie for my stage makeup class!!!"

"Okay" Briar stood there for a moment watching the girls have fun. Until she got a pregnancy craving. "I want some apple juice." She stated plainly.

Elizabeth looked at her "then go get some."

"Fine" She replied as she shrugged and got apple juice. While Elizabeth shook her head and laughed. Mrs.Thornton picked up a bottle of glue and grew a concerned look on her face. "Uh, Val what's this for?"

"Oh, that's glue."

"Yeah, but why is it with your makeup supplies?"

"What's the problem? Asked Elizabeth.

"This is Grizzly Glue, it's like an industrial cement."

"Heh?" Stated Elizabeth

"Val... tell me you didn't use this on Lizzie's face." Briar stated worryingly while reading the label.

Valarie grabbed the bottle from Mrs.Thornton, "uhhh..."

Elizabeth grabbed the bottle from Valarie "Give me that! For industrial use only, caution avoid contact with skin, VALARIE!"

"I'm sorry!" Screamed Valarie terrified by the wrath of Elizabeth-Lillian Thornton.

"Why didn't you use drama glue?" Briar Rose asked.

"I ran out so I got that out of my dad's tool box!"

"Are you insane?" Screamed the upset hormonal pregnant woman.

"Why didn't you read the label?" Questioned Elizabeth

"Cause! I was distracted by the cute grizzly bear!" Replied Valarie taking the bottle from Elizabeth and smiling at the grizzly bear.

"Anyway my play is tomorrow night and my character is supposed to be beautiful! Not a freakish zombie!" Screamed a freaked-out teenager. ————After school rehearsal... "okay everyone listen up Sophia Michelle is going to be at the play tonight so this needs to be perfect." Commanded the director.

"Then are you sure you want Jasper in this play?" Asked Elizabeth

"Well, at least I don't look like a freakish zombie!" Remarked Jasper.

"You're just jealous because you know I'm better" She said, dramatically flipping her hair.————10 minutes till curtain... Valerie and Regina were currently driving back from Bordertown after picking up the sovignet which sadly was a two hour drive. Mrs.Thornton was sitting in the front row with Mrs.Hart as well as Sophia Michelle; the writer of the play. In the back was Ray, Schwoz, and Charlotte. ————During the play...Jasper started his line, "So I'm in my jet on my way to Barolonia when I tell the pilot take a left we're going to Prong." He started slapping his knees while Sidney did obvious fake laughing.

"You're too much."

"Aren't I !?"

Then Henry walked up dressed as a bellboy and picked up the luggage as his script stated.

"Hey hey hey! You there!"

Henry looked at him "Yes sir?"

"That's very expensive luggage, don't just toss it around like a monkey!"

"I'm sorry it's just-"

"Whoa whoa whoa check out the girl coming this way." Said Sidney nudging Jasper.

"Oh my god she's gorgeous." Agreed Jasper while taking a sip of his drink.

"She's beautiful." Stated Henry, his character dumbfounded. And there was Elizabeth-Lillian Thornton playing the character Penny as she walked on stage wearing her freakish zombie makeup.————A couple of scenes later... "I-I-I don't know." Stuttered Elizabeth.

"Oh come on!" Yelled Jasper, "why can't you admit that you're in love with me?"

"Why are you in love with me?"

"Because, you're beautiful, look at your face in the moonlight."

"I can't." Stated Elizabeth looking into the distance.

"You can." Countered Jasper.

"No, a person can't look at their own face, it's impossible." She started looking back at Jasper.

"Then marry me and I'll buy you a thousand mirrors!"

"But that's so many!" Replied Elizabeth in shock.

"My father's a billionaire, I can get you everything you ever wanted! And...I'm very good looking."

"Mmmm, yeah."

"Think." Then the lights turned towards Henry and Lizzie-Anne.

"I don't know!" The young girl said freaking out and confused

"It's okay that you don't know." Replied Henry calmly.

"But you deserve an answer." She countered.

"I can wait, for you I'll wait a thousand years."

"But that's so many!" the girl cried in shock again.

"I know I'm poor, I know I don't have much to offer but... I do love you."

Elizabeth turned away, shook her head, and took a couple steps, "because I'm beautiful?"

"I don't love you because you're beautiful!" Henry ran towards her and turned her around with his hand on her shoulder, "you're beautiful because I love you."

"Whoa."————The final scene... "Oh just say you'll Marry me!" Screamed Jasper.

"I'm sorry but most girls don't want to be yelled at when they're being proposed to." Argued Elizabeth.

"Oh come on! I'm rich, I'm handsome, I got nine boats!" Jasper stated counting his fingers for all of the reasons. "Stop acting like a stupid girl!"

"Wait you got a little something there." Elizabeth said pointing to her lips.

"What?"

"This!" Elizabeth punched him and he fell to the ground. Then music began to play and she started to sing her duet with Henry. Elizabeth started them off. Him joining in and then them together.

"Suddenly my choice is clearI knew when only you and I were standing here."

"And beautiful is all I see."

"It's only you, I know it's true, it has to be"

"Well that money isn't worth a thingIf you didn't earn it, you don't deserve it"

"I deserve it." Jasper came out and Elizabeth flicked him in the forehead, "ow!"

"True love doesn't cost a thingAnd if you try to buy it, you can't return itNo, no no-ohYour friends are doing all the same thingsAnd my friends say look at what you're wastingWell it doesn't matter if we change their mindsSuddenly I can see what I didn't beforeAnd I don't care what they say anymore'Cause I'm falling, fallingFinally falling, falling"

Then Regina and Valarie Zagorski showed up with the sovginet for the grizzly glue. Elizabeth got the pianist's attention and told him to improvise he nodded and signaled it to the rest of the musicians. Then once the sovginet was off Elizabeth returned with a killer entrance. Showing the crowd her beautiful face and it thankfully no longer looking like a freakish zombie.

"I don't need all the finer thingsDiamond rings are nothing, so show me something'Cause love is all I needAll I ever wanted and now I've got itYeah, yeah-e-eahMy friends are wondering what we're thinkingAnd your friends, they probably think the same thingWell it doesn't matter if we change their mindsSuddenly I can see what I didn't beforeAnd I don't care what they say anymore'Cause I'm falling, fallingFinally falling, falling."

And the crowd went wild.————After the show Elizabeth was asked to do the whisper challenge. And with a few hilariously failed attempts. The next phrase changed the young and beautiful Elizabeth-Lillian Thornton's life forever. "Your Father is behind you." Many people teared up, put their hands to their hearts, or gasped. When a tall muscular man in a Marine's uniform stood behind Elizabeth-Lillian with a bouquet of white Lilies and red roses. She failed at it a couple times which caused the man to quietly chuckle at her responses. The director stated it again calmly and gently as ever. "Your Father is behind you." He turned the card around so it was facing her. And she read it.

"Your Father is behind you." She looked at the director then it clicked. Her eyes went wide and she straightened up, turned around only to see a Marine Major, a hero of war, Jack Thomas Thornton IV, Her Father, and last but not least, her hero.

She stood up from the chair, tears glistening in her eyes. "Daddy" she said, her voice cracking while walking to wrap her arms around him.

The crowd cheered for the heartwarming Father-Daughter reunion. The man wrapped his arms around her even tighter tears glistening in his same sky blue eyes. "Hi Flower."

Awwwww. So, what did you think of Mr.Thornton's entrance into the story. The feels man. Anyway, I used the same plot line as the Nickelodeon show Victorious' plot line for season one episode six. I used a couple of scenes and just changed the characters. Again, NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED. I DO NOT OWN FINALLY FALLING BY THE VICTORIOUS CAST NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED.
