Chapter 12

Link was worried when Tracy didn't show up for school of the show. While Link was at home practicing his dance, Link heard Tracy's name on the news that his father left on while he was asleep in the couch.

"A massive manhunt is underway for Miss Turnblad who bludgeoned sergeant and decorated Korean war veteran Mike Morris with a crowbar shattering his jaw-".

Link shut off the tv rather aggressively not believing what he heard. Link tried to continue dancing but he kept messing up, so he decided to eat but all he did was play with his food, an hour later Link couldn't fall asleep and made his way out the door.


When he reached Tracy apartment Mrs. Turnblad answered "Oh! Link. I thought you'd be Tracy".

Link said "Uh no, I was just at home practicing my new Twist on the Twist when I overheard it on the news. I I can't believe Tracy savagely bludgeoned an Eagle scout that's, that's just not like her".

Mrs. Turnblad said "Well its not true I was there, he didn't even bleed".

Link realized he didn't need to practice his dance he needed to be there with Tracy. Link said "I should've been there... beside her. I can't sleep, I can't eat".

Mrs. Turnblad said "You can't eat? Well come on in and worry with us. I'll make you some pork". 

Edna pulled Link in closing the door behind Link.

Edna said "Link that's my husband Wilbur. Wilbur this is Link a friend of Tracy's".

Link said "Nice to meet you Mr. Turnblad".

Mr. Turnblad said "Please call me Wilbur".

Link asked "Uh Wilbur... where's your... bathroom?"

Wibur said "Down the hall the last door on the right".

While Link was walking down the hall he saw an open door and peeked inside and turned on the lights, and saw photos and posters of himself on the walls and on the mirror. 

(Link)

Once I was a selfish fool 

Who never understood

Never looked inside myself 

Though on the outside, I look good

Then we met and you made me

The man I am today

Tracy's I'm in love with you

No matter what you weigh

(Link & Tracy's picture)

'Cause without love

(Link)

Life is like the seasons with no summer

(Link & Tracy)

Without love

(Link)

Life is rock 'n roll without a drummer

Tracy

Cause I never wanna be

Without loooove

(Seaweed)

Livin' in the ghetto 

Black is everywhere you go

Who'd have thought I'd love a girl

Whose skin was white as winter snow

(Penny)

In my Ivory tower

Life was just a hostess snack

But now I've tasted chocolate

And I'm never going back

(Penny & Seaweed climbing down Penny's house)

Cause without love

(Seaweed)

Life is like a beat that you can't follow

(Penny & Seaweed)

Without love

(Penny)

Life is Doris Day at the Apollo

( Penny & Seaweed)

Darling I'll be yours forever

Cause I never wanna be without love

So, darling never set me free

Penny slid Tracy the key to the basement and ran off with Seaweed.

(Penny & Seaweed)

No I'm yours forever

Never set me free no no no

(Tracy's room. Link)

If I'm left without my baby doll

I dooon't know what I'll do

(In the trunk. Tracy)

Link I've got to break out 

So, that I can get my hands on you

(In the car. Seaweed)

Girl if I can't touch you

 I'm gonna lose control

(Under a blanket. Penny)

Seaweed your my black white night

I fould my blue eyes soooul)

(Seaweed & Duane)

Sweet freedom is our goal

(Link)

Life's a '45 when you can't buy it

(Everyone)

Without love

(Tracy)

Life is like my mother on a diet.

(Everyone)

Like a week that's only Mondays

Only ice cream never Sundaes

Like a circle with no center

Like a door marked 'Do not enter'

"Link! Your pork is ready".

Link went back downstairs to attempt to eat.

Edna said "Here you go Link" while placing a plate in front of him. Link said "Thanks".

Link poked at his food for a bit but Edna wouldn't let him leave until he ate something.
