(Allye takes a seat upon a chair placed at the front of the room. Crossing her legs, she cradles her mandolin in her lap, the trailing skirts of her gown sweeping down to the ground gracefully.)

(Allye's fingers lightly pluck at the instrument's strings, and a shimmering tune floats through the vast room.)

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "Now gather friends, and heed the call
   To valleys deep and mountains tall!
   We'll romp across the vast expanse,
   In fancy dress and fancy pants."

Allye flashes a wide grin.

Allye says, "But..."

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "Of all the places that we ll see
   If e'er you slip beneath the sea
   There s just one thing, please promise me
   That you will all remember."

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "Of all the places that we'll see
   If e'er you slip beneath the sea
   There's just one thing, please promise me
   That you will all remember."

(Allye's fingers still, causing a lull in the song as she looks around to make sure everyone is paying attention.)

Allye angles her ears forward in curiosity.

Allye nods emphatically.

Allye beams!

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "I know it may seem odd to you
   And things we'll have in common few
   But if we reach Andreshlew,
   Please rest assured that it is true...
     
   Merelew are people too!"

Allye smiles brightly, her eyes gleaming in open anticipation. Her cheerful song rollicks along at a joyful clip.

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "If we really have the chance,
   Tie up your skirts, roll up your pants,
   We'll walk together, hand in hand
   Beyond the place where waves meet sand."

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "Don't panic if you can't quite breathe
   That's just how one walks in the sea
   So open up your eyes, my sweets
   It's time for an adventure!"

Allye's face lights up with joy.

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "We'll come upon an island bright
   That glimmers in the scant moonlight,
   Where sculpted coral coolly gleams
   And glowing pearls line every street."

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "And if some soul we were to find
   I hope this song will come to mind
   No shock nor awe, no playing dead
   Instead we'll simply bow our heads."

Allye beams!

Allye exclaims, "Friendly-like!"

(Allye bends over her mandolin as the driving pace of the tune pushes forward once more into the chorus.)

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "I know it may seem odd to you
   And things we'll have in common few
   But if we reach Andreshlew,
   Please rest assured that it is true...
      
   Merelew are people too!"

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "Maybe one will strike a song
   And you and I can sing along
   Find partners as the tide will ebb
   Don't be alarmed, their hands are webbed."

Allye sings in a soprano voice:

  "We'll dance all night in that locale
   With you and me and our new pals
   When morning comes, we'll swim back home
   Until we next decide to roam!"

(Allye strums a final, jangling chord. She stands up from her chair, primly holding out the skirts of her gown with her free hand as she dips into a deep curtsy.)
