Enjoy:

They all waited.

And waited..

and waited.

All members of the orchestra sitting in their assigned seats. Everyone except one. Their first chair violinist and soloist Gilbert. Gilbert considered himself to be the best thing since sliced bread. Which one dark haired-piano-playing-Austrian would strongly disagree with.

"Can't we just start without him!" The Austrian called from his rightful place in front of the Steinway Grand Concert Piano. He had one just like it if not the same at home.

"You know we can't do that Roderich." The conductor said plainly as he flipped through his music on the stand in front of him.

The irritated Austrian crossed his arms in frustration. It was true they couldn't start with out him and he was only five minutes late.

"Can't we just play through it and just skip his part? It's really not that big of a deal," Roderich added.

The concert hall doors opening wide, "And skip awesomeness? I don't think so my very non-awesome friend!" The voice echoed through out the enormous concert hall. The pale silverette emerging from the shadows. His entrancing crimson eyes (contacts or not) exposed to the florescent light.

A few of the female violinist's and violists giggling and gasping in amazement like school girls at the sight of him. Roderich rolled his eyes at them, confused by Gilbert's immense stupidity and how full of himself he was.

Gilbert quickly got to the stage setting his case on the lower level. Unpacking in a matter of minutes, his music in hand, as he climbed the 7 stairs to the stage. Quickly making his way to his seat, pulling out his crisp-clean music and setting it on his stand. His glossy two-toned Stradivarius resting on his knee.

"Look what finally showed up," Roderich said irritation prominent in his voice.

Gilbert turned around and stared at him for a moment. "Oh Roderich i didn't notice you were here. Ya know you being in the far back and all." Gilbert smiled turning around facing the conductor."So what are we starting with? Rondo Alla Turca? Or Winter,Summer,Spring or Autumn from the four seasons?" Gilbert asked.

"If you were here when he told us you'd know.." Roderich stared daggers at the albino violinist.

There were many things Roderich could tolerate but being late and then acting as if you own the place, was certainly not one of them. No matter who it was. And that was one of the many MANY reasons why Roderich hated Gilbert to his very core.

"You know what i apologize for my tardiness. Now what piece are we starting with?" He looked from Roderich;to the conductor.

"Winter." The conductor said as he highlighted something in his score. Standing up straighter he looked around his orchestra. Wooden Baton going up in the air signaling them to get ready. They all sat at the edge of their chairs, bows just barely touching their strings. All their eyes on him watching his hands go down signaling them to start.

And thus the orchestra played.

They all slowly packed up and filed out of the concert hall after practice. Only a few more weeks till their performance and they had five pieces to perfect. They all knew how to play it now all they had to work on is tempo and sound. And once they perfected that, the show would be utterly perfect.

Even if some of them had big egos and if they didn't exactly like each other. Once they started playing they all set aside their differences and felt the emotion of the piece. Gilbert being an example of this. No matter how big his ego was, or how full of himself he was. When he started playing he felt as if he was part of the music. It just came out so easily with minimal effort for Gilbert.

Then there were people who practiced for two to three hours at a time, perfecting the dynamic of the pieces. And playing them over and over again so many time they knew the song by memory; to have only made second violin. He was just one of those people who made something so difficult and complex look easy.

Roderich was like that too. Everything came easy. But he knew Gilbert would audition for the soloist piece or first chair and Roderich wasn't about to challenge him on that, So he auditioned for piano. Not saying he couldn't have beat out Gilbert, it's just when Gilbert gets determined there's no stopping him. And Roderich really didn't feel like getting into a death match over a chair.

Roderich had played violin before. In fact it was his second instrument, but he had always been slightly better at piano seeing that he'd played for years on top of years. And he actually preferred it. It was just easier and, less work. Soothing even. And it gave his hands a bit of a rest when they cramped from playing the violin repeatedly.

Gilbert finished packing his stuff, making sure his bow was loosened properly and his very expensive violin was secure. Austria just sat on his bench in front of the piano, putting his music together in order. He stood up pulling the fall board down over the keys, and pushing his glasses up off the bridge of his nose. When he turned and noticed a certain Albino staring at him.

"Yes? Did you want something imbecile?" Roderich asked turning his head towards the Silverette standing in the aisle-way.

"Hehe... nothing..." Gilbert turned to leave walking down the long aisle.

"Okay then." Roderich turned and walked away from his glossy piano, music in hand.

Today had been an "interesting" day and who knew what tomorrow would bring.
