And it's somethin' true to pass on down to generations yet to come

[takeittothebridge]

Sitting in the garden by a rather familiar tunnel, Bridge played his harmonica, hoping to draw out a certain visitor. He had some news he wanted to tell him, and was hoping that the Fraggle would be able to hear the music and come drop by for a visit.

And despite appearing calm on the outside, he couldn't help buzzing a bit with excitement.

Comments

[takeittothebridge]

He snickered a bit, taking a seat in the grass. "So, how do you tell the difference?"

[gobetween]

He took a seat somewhat across from him, thinking about the answer.

"Well... when you find your song, it's like there's a 'ping' in your head- no, in your heart. And it kinda feels like you just found something that... you didn't even know you ever lost."

[takeittothebridge]

"Hmm..." It was helpful, but...

[gobetween]

Yeah, he knows. He glanced up at Bridge and shrugged helplessly.

Good luck.

[takeittothebridge]

Thanks.

Sitting for a while, Bridge pulled out his harmonica, tapping it in his palm for a moment before idly playing.

[gobetween]

It didn't take Gobo long to get bored while Bridge was sitting there thinking and listening, and he rested his cheek in his palm, chewing down the rest of the Doozer stick. He was watching the leaves on a nearby tree when some part of his mind picked up on the nearby music, and after a few moments he was humming along to it.

A good half a minute or so after that and he realized just what he'd been humming, at which point he sat bolt upright-

"BRIDGE!!"

[takeittothebridge]

Bridge jumped a bit, fumbling not to drop his harmonica and just barely catching it.

"What?"

[gobetween]

"Your- The harmonica- and I-" Nope, try again. He held up his hands, then pointed at himself, index fingers ticking up and down with the rise and fall of the melody he'd just been humming a moment ago.

"That- that's my song. It matches what you were playing just now. Not exactly but- but that's what makes a medley, right?

"Bridge, I think that's your song!"

[takeittothebridge]

He blinked. "That? That's just something I mess around with when I'm thinking..."

[gobetween]

"So? That just convinces me more that's your song!" He made a 'come on' gesture with his hands. "Here, do it again, let's hear it."

[takeittothebridge]

Frowning a bit, he picked up his harmonica again and began to play the same, familiar song.

[gobetween]

He smiled as he listened, lightly bobbing his head with it. And after a little while he started humming his own song again, backing up Bridge's playing.

The sight of little flecks of light around Bridge caught his attention, and he momentarily missed a note when he gasped. Then he leaned forward, watching the other intently.

[takeittothebridge]

In all honesty, Bridge had never heard the song with anything else before, so he hadn't thought much about it. It had always just been an idle melody that he picked on his guitar strings or blew notes on his harmonica or even hummed to himself at times.

But hearing something going along with it...it suddenly just felt...right.

About the time Gobo missed a note in his own song, Bridge suddenly stopped playing his, looking up in surprise.

[gobetween]

Bridge is going to find Gobo watching him with wide-eyes.

"For a second there, just a second, there was magic going around you! How do you feel...?"

[takeittothebridge]

He managed to catch a glimpse of some sparks of light around his hands just as they faded away. He looked on, silent for a moment.

"I feel...pretty good, actually."

[gobetween]

His tail waved behind him as he scooted a bit more forward.

"Do you think if we kept going... you might change?"

[takeittothebridge]

Tapping the harmonica in his palm again, he grinned.

"One way to find out."

Then he started playing the song once again.

[gobetween]

He smiled brightly himself and nodded, listening to Bridge's playing for a moment or two before he joined in with his singing.

[takeittothebridge]

It was only a moment of playing the combined song before wisps of light returned, swirling around Bridge before engulfing him completely.

It didn't last long, though, and soon the light faded away, leaving a blue Fraggle with black hair sitting in Bridge's place.

[gobetween]

He jumped to his feet when he saw that, laughing brightly at the sight of him.

"You did it!! Bridge, you did it!"

[takeittothebridge]

Opening his eyes, Bridge glanced down at himself and laughed.

"Hey, wow!"

[gobetween]

Gobo, thoroughly overjoyed, stepped around to look at him from all sides.

"Hair... snout... belouvious... Yep, all here!" Giggling some, he glanced up at him. "You look incredible! How do you feel?"

[takeittothebridge]

He followed Gobo, turning this way and that.

"Bel-what?"

[gobetween]

"Oh right, you wouldn't know." He snickered, then grabbed Bridge's tail and waved the bobble a bit.

"This thing! It's called a belouvious, and it'll flare out whenever you get scared. One in working order is the mark of a healthy Fraggle." He paused, then snickered resignedly. "...If only it didn't require getting spooked to test that."

[takeittothebridge]

"...Ah." Pulling his tail from Gobo's grasp, he then waved it around a bit. "Huh."
