Praticing the Song

[Samantha Andre]

The day was in a tissy since Samantha had arrived in the music pit which was more chatioc then watching Madame Gery arguing with the follow dancers, actors, and singers. Samantha opened her book infront of her to get out her music that she had just finished early this morning. Her friend Melissa had been nagging her about being stuck inside her world for to long than being with friend, but as sometimes happen she just brushed it over her shoulder before going back to what she was doing. Her brother was elsewhere being all queer as he wanted to be. It put a shame on her family when she found out. Her eyes focus on the music that was on her music stand before looking up to see the zoo acting up once more. Samantha sighed before taking out her French violin to practice her song and music for the performance in a few days.

Her violin sung like a feather above the wild zoo animals below her. Closing her eyes she felt the music of her own song fill her up with peace it was more like a slow song played at galas then the loud upscale music that they were practicing. Once she finished the song many people had stopped shouting and to listen in. Samantha didn't look as she went onto the song that they had been practicing for a few days, but sometimes her teacher chose her to play the piano when he needed her. Of course she didn't mind, but she loved the music from her French violin that her mother had given to her on her 17th birthday. As the noise began again she focused on her song more than the other wishing that they could preform it in the show.

Christine was as usual trying to avoid having to listen to her best friends mother scream at everyone else. Herself and Meg did not have to go to practice today mostly because they knew the piece like that back of their hands and everyone else didn't. Madame Giry on the other hand was yelling at all of them because the show was in a few days time really. The summer spectactular always went off without a hitch anyways. She found her way into the pit. She was wondering what Sir Reyer was having the musicians work on.

She sat down at the edge of the pit. She smiled when she saw Samantha. She loved to listen to her play she sounded like no other really. It reminded Christine of music she heard when she was just a little little girl. It was chaotic beyond belief but you could still hear her. Christine hummed softly as she heard her start up her song again.

Hearing her own song being played over the chaotic group of her fellow musicians made her feel at peace again. Sir Reyer began yelling back at them which made Samantha smile at the thought. She knew that he didn't have to worry about her since she never caused any uprising. Her hands made the song become more perfect which time that she began to play it. Samantha imagine her song in a play with the dancers dancing to the song's peaceful notes. It could be in a ballet like Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty, but they couldn't focus on that yet. As her son ended once more Samantha opened her eyes to return back into reality.

Sir Reyer smiled at her before her began today's rehearsal yet again. Sam took out the music for the performance from behind her song. Just as she adjusted the strings on her violin she saw Christine setting on the edge of the pit above them. She smiled at Christine knowing that she could dance better than anyone else that she saw. Hearing the instructor count the number she focused on the song and began to play with her fellow musicians.

Christine listened to the musicians and then heard Madame Giry call for them to set up for rehearsal the right way. She sighed and smiled back at Samantha and got right into line. She listened at Reyer couldn't out the music yet again and they started dancing. It was hard to keep in time and you could hear each instrument come to life as if it was meant to sign in such a way. Christine followed the dance and the music without even consciously thinking about it it was something that she and Meg and a few of the others could do. The could since they were little so it made not difference to them.

Madame Giry nodded at her the cue that she and Meg could leave the rehearsal and watch. That's exactly what she did. She went back to sitting on the edge of the pit listening to them play. She loved the rehearsals before a performance. It was the best feeling ever. She looked up and watched the techies get everything else ready.

(so sorry it took me so long)
