Part of Your World (Amy version)

It was a small cavern of normal animal objects. There were thousands of normal animal objects everywhere!

"Girls, are you okay?" Silver asked.

"Tell us what is wrong." Charmy said, "And why do you three look so sad?"

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo were lying on three separate rocks in the center of the room, frowning, and turning the dinglehoppers around in their hands.

"If only we could make him understand." said Sally sadly.

"We just don't see things the way he does." Cosmo went on.

Basil covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, or maybe from fainting. No, he still felt like fainting. His eyes grew wider every second he listened to the private conversation. He and, well, every other fish in the sea knew about the little merhog and her sisters' fascination with normal animals but he didn't expect it to go to this level of obsession.

"We don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things - could be bad." Amy finished.

Basil quickly reined in his shock as he peered around a harp ready to give those girls a talking to as they began to sing.

Amy: *Look at this stuff*
*Isn't it neat?*
*Wouldn't you think our collection's complete?*

She, Sally, and Cosmo put their dinglehoppers in their own candlestick holders and began to look around their cave.

Amy: *Wouldn't you think we're the girls?*
*The girls who have everything?*

Sally: *Look at this trove*
*Treasures untold*
*How many wonders can one cavern hold?*
*Lookin' around here you'd think*
*Sure, they've got everything*

They swam up a bit to one of the clock pendants and swung them.

Cosmo: *We've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty*
*We've got whozits and whatzits galore*

Basil looked through a pair of glasses. He thought they were weird. Sally got a little box of more treasures, and she, Cosmo, and Amy showed them to Silver and Charmy.

Sally: *You want thingamabobs?*
*We got twenty*

She set the box aside as she and her little sisters put their foreheads down on three more rocks.

Cosmo: *But who cares?*

Amy: *No big deal*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *We want more*

Basil looked at them in confusion. What more could they possibly want? Haven't they had enough this...whatever stuff they have in their cave? Amy, Sally, and Cosmo sighed as they looked at a music box of an animal couple dancing.

Amy: *We wanna be where the critters are*

Sally: *We wanna see*
*Wanna see 'em dancin'*
*Walkin' around on those-*
*Whad'ya call 'em? Oh, feet*

Charmy giggled when Sally tickled his fins. Basil just simply rolled his eyes. "Humph! Girls!"

Amy, Sally, Cosmo, Silver, and Charmy swam around the grotto.

Cosmo: *Flippin' your fins you don't get too far*
*Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'*
*Strollin' along down a-*
*What's that word again? Street*

Amy, Sally, Cosmo, Silver, and Charmy swam up further north toward the grotto.

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *Up where they walk*
*Up where they run*
*Up where they stay all day in the sun*
*Wanderin' free*
*Wish we could be*
*Part of that world*

Basil saw his exaggerated reflection in a glass object. He yelped and jumped into a lantern, shutting him in it.

Amy: *What would we give*
*If we could live*
*Out of these waters?*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo floated back onto the bottom of the grotto and laid there. So did Silver and Charmy.

Sally: *What would we pay*
*To spend a day*
*Warm on the sand?*

Cosmo: *Betcha on land*
*They understand*
*Bet they don't reprimand their nieces*
*Bright young women*
*Sick of swimmin'*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *Ready to stand?*

They swam up again and came upon one of the shelves, containing their treasures. Amy pulled out a thick book and flipped through the pages. Basil panicked as he rolled around in a lantern.

Amy: *And ready to know what the critters know?*

Sally: *Ask 'em our questions*
*And get some answers*

Cosmo: *What's a fire and why does it-*
*What's the word? Burn*

She and her big sisters swam up to the top of their grotto. They stretched their hands out as if they were reaching for the sky. Saddened, they slowly sank down to the ground. Silver and Charmy looked at them sympathetically. They all looked up toward the top of the grotto.

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *When's it our turn?*
*Wouldn't we love*
*Love to explore that shore above?*
*Out of the sea*
*Wish we could be*
*Part of that world*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo sighed. If only they could live up there, in the world above!

Meanwhile, Basil had still been rolling inside the lantern. Off the edge, it shattered, and Basil flew out and fell on top of a jack-in-the-box. Grabbing vainly for something to stop his fall, his hands caught a sheet, and he pulled it and all the other items stacked on in down. Silver and Charmy hid in an old knight's helmet startled at the sudden noise, and Amy, her big sister, and their little sister gasped. "Basil!" Sally exclaimed.

The mouse detective's scowl somehow got deeper as he was all tangled up in the Mobian sisters' animal junk. There was a teapot on his back, a pipe in his mouth, and he was on top of an accordion and all wrapped up in necklaces. He angrily spat out the pipe and fell off the squeaking instrument, dislodging most of the things from his back.

"Sally! Amy! Cosmo! What, are you mad? How could you - what is all this?" he asked, throwing the normal animal stuff off him.

"It, err, it's just our - collection." said Amy.

"That's right." said Sally.

"Like they said." Cosmo nodded in agreement.

Basil smiled warmly. "Oh. I see. Your collection. Hmmm." he said.

Then, he got angry again and tossed two last normal animal objects off his neck, shouting, "IF YOUR UNCLE KNEW ABOUT THIS PLACE HE'D -"

"You're not gonna tell him, are you?" Silver cut him off.

"He'll just get angry again." added Charmy.

The male white hedgehog and bee believed the girls couldn't take Top Cat's yelling anymore!

"Oh, please, Basil," Amy begged. "He would never understand."

"He doesn't know what would become of us." said Sally.

"Or if the surface is it all safe." Cosmo added.

Basil calmed down a bit and smiled again.

"Girls." he said, "You're under a lot of pressure down here. Come with me, I'll take you home and get you something warm to drink."
