A Dream Worth Keeping (Penny and Cody version)

A DREAM WORTH KEEPING

Performed by: Kristen Li (Penny)

Later in the afternoon, Penny and Cody had put on their swimwear. And now, they were standing on top of a tall rock near the waterfall cave.

Penny was wearing a blue two-piece swimsuit.

Cody was wearing red swimming trunks with brown stripes on both sides.

Cody was the first to grab a rope and swung in the entrance to the cave as he shouted, "Tally ho!" And he plopped in the water.

Penny giggled to see her boyfriend be first in the water and grabbed a rope and swung in the entrance before plopping in the water herself.

Cody, who had popped his head up out of the water, saw that and held his breath as he dove his whole body back in the water. This time, he saw Penny ride on a platypus, holding it by the tail. Cody swam to where Penny was going, only to get pushed by the platypus's bill. The second grader and the kindergartener swam up to the surface of the water.

*Any time you want to be right here
Just imagine me
And all this will appear
You can keep this moment all your life
Forever near*

"Come on, Penny." said Cody, as they swam out of the water and onto the rocky land in the cave.

*A dream worth keeping*

Cody led Penny to a cauldron-like rock with clear water that changes color. Cody dipped his fingertips into the water, and it turned red. Penny did the same, but it turned blue.

*When you're feeling lost
I'll be your star*

Using his magic, the 8-year-old Australian boy whirled his hand around the water, forming a bubble, and threw it to Penny. She tried to catch the bubble, but it landed on her head, soaking her completely.

"Oops! Sorry." Cody said, and he ran off, leaving Penny wet and embarrassed.

*Just reach out and touch me
No matter where you are*

The 6-year-old Louisianan girl saw that Cody was flying through a rainbow, changing colors as he pleased. So she joined him. She also changed colors as she flew through the rainbow.

*In a world where precious things
Are disappearing overnight
Just keep my star in sight
I believe
We've found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day*

As they flew out of the rainbow, they realized they were different colors - Cody was red, and Penny was blue. The two looked at each other and giggled before diving into the pool and changing back to their original colors.

*And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
Don't let it fade away*

Cody wanted to make music with water by hopping/walking on it. Penny hopped/walked next to him, and the water changed color while musical sounds were heard.

*Maybe you'll be in some distant land
Feeling all alone
but I'll be close at hand
And every time you see a rainbow
Paint the sky behind the rain
You'll be here again*

But as they hopped/walked over the water, Penny suddenly splashed! Cody stopped hopping/walking and saw that. So he dove into the water and swept her up in his arms. But he disappeared and made her splash in the water again.

*I believe
We've found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day*

Penny didn't know where he could have gone. Suddenly, she heard Cody whistling for her. She turned her head and saw him on the other side of the cave. Then she swam there and caught up with him. The two smiled passionately as they looked through each other's eyes.

*And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
So don't let it fade away*

Cody lifted Penny up out of the water with his magic, and they held hands. Penny almost slipped, but Cody caught her by the wrists just in time before she could plop down again. They looked at each other for a long time. Then they kissed each other's lips passionately.

*Someday, you might be thinking
That life has passed you by
Spirits might be sinking
With hope and sure supply
That's the reason why
That's the reason WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
We've found a dream worth keeping
As long as it will stay*

As the sun was beginning to set, Cody and Penny swam out of the waterfall cave and into Mermaid Lagoon, where the mermaids were bathing and grooming.

*Even when you see the darkness come cleaning
A dream worth keeping
Will never fade away*

Cody and Penny stayed in the lagoon, arms wrapped around each other, as they watched the sun go down.

"Oh, Cody, what a lovely night!" Penny said, "I wish it would never end."

"Me too, Penny." Cody said.

"This has never been like this at home." Penny added.

"Well, I'm glad you like swimming in Neverland." Cody said.

Penny paused for a moment and said, "It's a shame Bernard and Bianca had to miss out."

"Nah!" Cody said, waving off what she just said, "They just don't know Neverland. And they don't know what's here, either."

Then Cody and Penny remained in the water as they watched the mermaids continue bathing and grooming.
