ANUBIS and LAURELINA are sitting in the shadows, watching HITHIL and SPICE, Anubis looking disgusted, Laurelina confused.

ANUBIS
That is just gross.
I CAN SEE WHAT�S HAPPENING

LAURELINA
What?

ANUBIS
IT�S SOMETHING YOU CAN�T SEE

LAURELINA
Me?

ANUBIS
THEY�LL FALL IN LOVE -
NOW ISN�T THAT LOATHSOME �
AS HAPPY AS VERMIN CAN BE?

LAURELINA
Yuck!

ANUBIS
THE SHADOWS OF THE ORCHARDS
LEND A FRAGRANCE TO THE AIR
AND ON THIS CHANCY EVENING, SOMEPLACE
A FERRET MEETS A HARE

MOSSA is hanging on a swing from a tall tree, against the night sky, watching the lovers fondly.

MOSSA
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT?
THE PEACE THE EVENING BRINGS
THE WORLD FOR ONCE
IN PERFECT HARMONY
WITH ALL ITS LIVING THINGS.

HITHIL
DOES SHE KNOW I�M A REDWALLER
DOES SHE EVEN CARE
DOES IT MATTER I�M NO FERRET
JUST A LONELY HARE?

SPICE
WHAT DO I SEE IN HIM?
HE�S NO WARLORD�S SON
STRANGE, BUT ONE THING I�M SO CERTAIN OF:
OUR LOVE HAS JUST BEGUN!

MOSSA
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT?
THE PEACE THE EVENING BRINGS
THE WORLD FOR ONCE
IN PERFECT HARMONY
WITH ALL ITS LIVING THINGS

HITHIL, SPICE, and MOSSA
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT?
YOU NEEDN�T LOOK TO FAR
STEALING THROUGH
THE NIGHT�S UNCERTAINTIES
LOVE IS WHERE WE (THEY) ARE

SPICE
AND IF HE FEELS THE LOVE TONIGHT
IN THE WAY I DO

HITHIL
IT�S ENOUGH
FOR THIS UNFORGIVING HARE

HITHIL and SPICE
JUST TO BE WITH YOU

And... very tentatively, they kiss. From the shadows, Anubis makes a loud, rude sound.
