Go Softly Into Morning
The thing that's nagging me is I never said how I felt, y'know? You can know someone for the real long time, and think that they're the greatest thing, but you don't say it. I mean, you can even have a thing for 'em or something, but you're too embarrassed so you keep it quiet.....then it's too late.
In a rare reference to Fame history, Chris is referring to the season 5 episode His Majesty Donlon where we learned he had a crush on Nicole. He also discovered that he had a double in the form of Prince Freddie, who was in New York to sign a treaty guaranteeing world peace. The prince's fiance was Marianna Gimblestein, herself a dead ringer for Nicole. In this episode, Chris switched places with Freddie, and Nicole was captivated by the new sensitive "Chris" while Marianna preferred Chris to Prince Freddie. By episode's end, Chris was back at school as if nothing had happened, and Freddie and Marianna were together. No-one ever knew how Chris felt, not even Nicole.
