Wouldn't It Be Nice
The Beach Boys
words & Music: Brian Wilson - Tony Asher
Songfic by Rob Morris

(Not far from Sarek's home, Peter and Saavik watch the pre-dawn Forge)

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long

(She looks at him, and he at her)

And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

(Each sees a world in which they are merely a couple--nothing else)

You know its gonna make it that much better

(They snap back to reality, and draw closer as a result)

When we can say goodnight and stay together

(The sun begins to appear)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new

(Amanda briefly peers out; smiles and withdraws before being seen)

And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

(Some decidely hormonal thoughts fly between the two)

Happy times together we've been spending

(A lirpa battle is remembered)

I wish that every kiss was neverending

(They simply kiss, long and deep)

Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true Baby
then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do

(In their imagination, Ghidorah simply explodes, never to regenerate)
 

We could be married

(Peter imagines a gong, etc. Vulcan ceremony; Saavik sees a church in
Iowa)

And then we'd be happy

(Both frown a bit; True happiness is a bit hard for them to
conceptualize)

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it

(They try to speak, but turn back to the sunrise)

It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it

(As they head back inside, little jokes and lovey-talk begin to be
exchanged)

Wouldn't it be nice

(This is my first effort at this format of songfic; I hope you enjoyed -- Rob)
