*Xaver sat at the piano awkwardly, plunking out notes to get them down before he stood to sing. He took centerstage with confidence, prepared to sing from his heart.*
This is the moment! This is the day, When I send all my doubts and demons On their way!
Every endeavor, I have made - ever - Is coming into play, Is here and now - today!
This is the moment, This is the time, When the momentum and the moment Are in rhyme!
Give me this moment - This precious chance - I'll gather up my past And make some sense at last!
This is the moment, When all I've done - All the dreaming, Scheming and screaming, Become one!
This is the day - See it sparkle and shine, When all I've lived for Becomes mine!
For all these years, I've faced the world alone, And now the time has come To prove to them I've made it on my own!
This is the moment - My final test - Destiny beckoned, I never reckoned, Second Best!
I won't look down, I must not fall! This is the moment, The sweetest moment of them all!
This is the moment! Damn all the odds! This day, or never, I'll sit forever With the gods!
When I look back, I will always recall, Moment for moment, This was the moment, The greatest moment Of them all!
*The words were true to his feelings--soon, he would begin a career here. He finished the song, a great feeling of pride swelling within him. Even if there wasn't anyone in the audience.*
((Reserved for Teddy, btw.))

Teddy had been watching from the back of the theater. The young man had such a wonderful voice—something about him really made Teddy gravitate towards him. He walked up to the stage.
"That was wonderful," he said, wondering why he was suddenly so shy. Well, more than usual, anyway.

*Xavier grinned when he caught sight of the other young man.*
"Thanks! I'm thinking of using it as my audition piece--I'm hoping to get a job here." *He explained amicably.*

"I think you're a shoe-in if you can sing like that."

"Likewise. So what brings you here?"

"Well, usually I spend a lot of time in here on the piano and stuff, but I sort of fell off of a horse, hence the sling. So I was sitting in here and moping to myself, and then I heard you," he explained, grinning.

*He laughed, but there was a tinge of seriousness.*
"If you're a muscian, you should take better care of your hands and arms--they're valuable."

He nodded. "I know. I guess I got caught up in the moment; wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Teddy smiled. "You sound British."

*He smiled and nodded.*
"Spot-on. And you're either American or raised by them."

He laughed. "My mother is from Georgia, and my father was raised by an American and the daughter of an American."

*He smiled.*
"That'd explain the cute accent." *He teased. This one was cute."

"Oh, thanks." He realized what Xavier had just said. "Wait, what?!"

*He grinned.*
"I said, you have an adorable accent."
