VARELLA stares at Robin for a moment, his question turning over in her mind. She shifts her bookbag absentmindedly, wondering if she could begin to express her thoughts.

VARELLA
AN ACCIDENT
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
IT WASN'T MEANT
TO BE ANYTHING!
BUT NOW THAT'S IT'S HERE
AND NOW THAT IT'S SO DEAR, OH!
LET'S KEEP THIS, THIS LITTLE THING...

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
ONE LITTLE INCIDENT
I NEEDED GUIDANCE
I NEEDED HEALING!
AND THAT ONE LITTLE LOOK
OH MY! I GOT SO TOOK!
I FOUND IT SO APPEALING...

HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR SLENN
You know - THE RED-HEADED VIXEN
WE NEVER WOULD HAVE SEEN
EACH OTHER'S SHINE AN' GLEAM!
OH AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
JUST ONE ACCIDENT...
A CHANCE
FOR A GLANCE
BUT I KNEW...
THIS COULD START SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL!

IT STARTED OUT AS SOMETHING
TO TAKE MY MIND FROM...HIM
BUT SOON IT BECAME SOMETHING OUT
AND PULLED ME RIGHT IN!
OH AN ACCIDENT!

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT!
IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN
A SHINE ON A BORING DAY!
BUT NOW I THINK THIS FEELING
THIS FEELING, OH IT GREW!
AND FORCES ME TO SAY THESE WORDS
THAT HAVE HAUNTED LIKE SOME GHOSTLY BIRD
THESE WORDS, THESE WORDS
OF I LOVE YOU!

VARELLA feels a blush crawl onto her face, but she fights it down, also trying to keep her shyness from enveloping her again. She had never felt so...so bold! And it felt wonderful!
