I love his name…”
[Verse 1]
Shelly swam ahead, guiding through Waterland’s glow
But in her mind she thought, “Why are these two tagging along, though?”
Date with Timo — that was the perfect plan
But Kai and Toes keep following — I need a better chance
“This is the diner, they have great oysters, fresh and sweet
We should try it, just you and me — it would be so neat!”
Timo smiled politely, “No thanks, maybe next time”
Shelly’s colors flashed, Why won’t these two just go away this time?
[Pre-Chorus]
Scary Shelly in my head, trying to stay polite
But all I want is Timo… without these two in sight
[Chorus — playful & jealous]
Scary Shelly
Tour guide with a secret plan
Scary Shelly
Trying to get her man
Why are you two here? This was supposed to be our day
Just me and Timo… swimming all the way!
[Verse 2]
“This is the music lounge, great table reserved for Dad and me
We should totally vibe there — it would be so dreamy!”
Timo nodded, “Maybe later, we should keep moving on”
Shelly’s colors shifted, These two are ruining my song!
“This is the drive-in movie, latest films from up above
We should watch the romantic one — it’s perfect for young love!”
Timo said again, “No thanks, maybe next time we can”
Shelly thought, I’m gonna lose it — these two are my biggest fan… of ruining plans!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Scary Shelly smiling wide, but inside she’s screaming loud
Just one moment alone… is that too much to ask now?
[Chorus — playful & jealous]
Scary Shelly
Tour guide with a secret plan
Scary Shelly
Trying to get her man
Why are you two here? This was supposed to be our day
Just me and Timo… swimming all the way!
[Bridge — inner thoughts]
Here is the library, but it’s boring and too quiet
Let’s go to the coffee shop instead — that sounds private!
Timo stopped, “Wait — let’s go inside the library first”
Shelly smiled sweetly, but inside she cursed
[Acoustic Solo]
[Coda]
As I stepped in, I see hundred, maybe thousands of books
Some old, some very old, some too ancient to even hold
Thank you Preema for teaching me to read
Now, let’s find something that could give us a lead -
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Scary Shelly looks at him and decides to help
Maybe I could get him to see me more if I try
[Chorus — playful & jealous]
Scary Shelly
Tour guide with a secret plan
Scary Shelly
Trying to get her man
Why are you two here? This was supposed to be our day
Just me and Timo… swimming all the way!
[Outro — hopeful tension]
The library
What secrets might they hold
What can we learn from the books of old
Kai stayed outside to play poker with some of the creatures there
Toes doing some grocery shopping for the road ahead
Shelly looking at me ready to help
Let’s begin.
Book Three
[Library ambience + soft glowing hum]
“Wow this place is huge!
Yes - it has been here for thousands of years
