Rachel came into a rehearsal room and sat down at the piano. "Gosh! I wish I had a grand piano like this," she said, playing a few notes.

Hallie smiled. "I've always preferred my piano. It doesn't echo as much. But, then, I'm biased." She sat down and started playing "Chopsticks."

Rachel laughed, "I think that's the room, Hallie."

"No, I'm talking about the sound inside the piano. Mine has a more blunt sound, but it's pretty."

"Oh...Yeah, up-rights are less...echo-y," Rachel said with a smile.
When Hallie was done with the 'chopsticks', Rachel began playing a movement of a Beethoven sonata. "I always forget the B-flats on this one. Almost got killed by my piano teacher because I missed the the B-flat AND the G once."

Hallie laughed. "I hope I never have to have your teacher. So, what should we sing?"

"She was awsome though. Julliard graduate and all."
Rachel thought for a second. "You go first," she said quickly. "I've got this stage fright thing..."

Hallie smiled. ((I almost typed "Hellie," WTF?)) "Sure..." She stopped. "Um...what should I sing?"

Rachel shrugged. "Dunno. Maybe there's some music in here," Rachel said, opening the piano bench and looking. "I can probably accompany you."

"Hmmm... You know, I think I'll be really cliche and sing 'Think of Me.' And I'm warning you, my technique sucks." She laughed and handed Rachel the score which appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh! Perfect! I'm familiar with this one," said Rachel, taking the sheet music from Hallie. "Pfft...we're both too young to have super good technique anyways."
Rachel put the music on the piano and looked at Hallie. "Anytime you're ready," she said with a grin.

Hallie nodded, and after the first few bars began to sing: "Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye..."
When she finished, she grinned at Rachel. "Good job."

"I hate you," she said with mock envy. "D*mn you sopranos!"
"Totally muddled a few measures but..." she said with a shrug, "you, on the other hand--" Rachel clapped loudly. "Those are SOME pipes you've got there! That last Bb5 was pretty good!"

Hallie chuckled and blushed. "Thanks." Her eyes twinkled mischeivously. "Your turn," she said.

"Oh man..." She groaned, pretending to do a headdeskpiano. "Fine."
Rachel went into the piano bench and pulled out an old, tattered book of Handel arias. "I guess I'll sing Ombra Mai Fu," she said with sigh. "Acapella or should I accompany myself?"
