My Knight in Shining Armor

Patrick Kane gallops paces ahead. He looks back at Jonathan and Val, who are letting him be alone, but keeping a close eye on him too. He launches into song.

“I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.”

Patrick pauses and gives a weird look of disgust and then shakes his head. “Never mind.”

“I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.”

He flicks the reins to his white horse and trots up a hill, halting at the top. He belts out, singing:

“I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.”

He launches down the hill and gallops on, through a field of flowers.

“I thought I never knew,
I would never be in love to you,
Until my eyes fell on the prize.
One look and fantasies,
Came crashing down on me,
I wanted to just be mine.”

“Oh, when you walked through the village.
Everything, everything--freezes.
It's just something you do.
Eyes staring at you.
But when you look, look right at me.
I can't do just anything.
Bring me to a fantasy,
Now I think that--”

Patrick lets go of the reins and throws his hands out in the air, to either side, as he sings out,

"I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.
(So come to me, so come to me, ee, ee, please)”

The blond chuckles and grabs the mane of his horse now. He comes back to Jonathan and Val, who are eyeing him with bewilderment.

“What are you doing, Patrick?” Jonathan asks.

Patrick fits into the middle of them and hums,

“So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, pretty please?”

“Uh, we may need to stop again. He might be dehydrated and need some water,” Val suggests.

Jonathan nods, sighing and rolling his eyes. “I’ll say, he’s acting strangely.” He folds his arms across his chest.

“Prince Patrick, should we stop for you?” Val inquires, leaning over to him.

“Again,” Jonathan adds on, muttering under his breath.

Patrick shakes his head, smiling. He gallops forward again.

“And there he goes again. I swear if we are attacked - or him - I’m not saving him,” Jonathan grumbles.

Patrick is lost in his fantasy world though, ignoring and not hearing Jonathan. He turns back and sees the brunette man talking to his squire. The blond takes note of his handsome facial features and knightly manner. He sighs and spins back around.

“When I think about you,
I want to break the rules,
To me, you are my everything.
I don't know about you,
But I know about me,
Let's get together and you'll see.”

He throws his hands out to the sides once more and sings out:

“Oh, when you walked through the village.
Everything, everything--freezes.
It's just something you do.
Eyes staring at you.
But when you look, look right at me.
I can't do just anything.
Bring me to a fantasy,
Now I think that--”

“I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.
(So come to me, so come to me, ee, ee, please)”

Patrick comes to a bridge. He halts at the foot of it. Jonathan and Val come up behind him. He bats his eyelashes at Jonathan, flirtatiously.

“If I come face to face with him one day, this is what I'll say:
Don't judge me by appearance,
We are just so perfect,
When we're together...
Just look into my eyes,
'Cause I want to see your's,
Please don't think about this twice…”

The blond man leans toward Jonathan, who halts next to him. He pretends to kiss him, but then almost falls off his horse. He snaps out of it and catching and righting himself in place. The knight is looking at him weirdly, as is Val. Patrick blushes deep red and turns away, ashamed.

He hums:

“Whoa, whoa, oh..., (4x)
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
Whoa, whoa, oh...
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
Whoa, whoa, oh...
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
Whoa, whoa, oh...
So come to me, so come to me, so come to me, please.
Whoa, whoa, oh…”

“Okay, Patrick you need some water, man, you are seriously out of it,” the knight states.

He reaches into his pack and withdraws a water bottle. He passes it to the humming, blushing blond man, who pauses in his tune and takes the bottle, eyeing the knight. Patrick smiles and takes it. He drinks from the bottle and then gives it back to Jonathan, still smiling at him, sweetly. Jonathan takes it and stuffs it back into his pack.

“Stop staring at me like that, let’s get across the bridge!” the knight snaps. “It’s creeping me the hell out!”

“I know place where we can “hunker down” for night!” Val exclaims suddenly, changing the subject.

“Alright, let’s get across the bridge and allow Val to lead us to his place that he has in mind!”

“Yay! It gonna be fun!!” Val claps his hands together, excitedly.

Patrick dips his head and finally looks away from Jonathan. “I’m sorry for creeping you out, I’m just a little emotional I guess...I’m try to behave.”

“It’s okay, let’s continue on,” Jonathan says, as they launch onward, heading across the bridge.

Patrick and Val head across first, leaving Jonathan behind. The knight watches Patrick cross, eyeing his swaying movement on the horse. He can’t help but feel for him. If they were attacked, he would save the blond. He began to sing,

“I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.”

Jonathan zooms across and joins Patrick. They both launch into the song, singing together:

“I'm falling in love with him,
To get him is a chance that is very slim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
It's a secret that is dim.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
I dream of him with me sharing a kiss.
(If only I can tell him so)
I'm falling in love with him,
Nothing can't beat his beautiful grin.”

Remaining on the horses, they grab hands and slowly circle in place, locking eyes.

“I'm falling in love with him,
It feels like he is my everything.
I'm falling in love with him,
He is my only precious gem.”

“I’m falling in love with him,” Jonathan sings.

“I’m falling in love with him,” Patrick sings.

They begin to lean forward, before Val claps loudly and exclaims, “We’re here!! We’re here!!” The two jerk back and look around, embarrassed.

“Sorry, again,” Patrick says.

“It’s cool. That was more on me.”

They follow after Val, who takes the lead, leading them under a stone archway. They all get off of their horses and hold them by the reins. Val is standing in front of a huge sign that reads:

“Valeri Land?” Jonathan questions, looking at his grinning squire.

“Yup! Welcome to Valeri Land, all Val, all time!!” Val cheerily exclaims.
