Rebekah stared at the page of the book she was holding from almost a hour now, trying to ignore the noise that was coming from behind her. It was supposed to be music, but it wasn't. The Dane really appreciated her husband's efforts to teach their 8-years-old daughter how to play piano, but .. it was really painful for her ears.
She sighed as she listened to the conversation going behind her. ''Anniken, try again .. You almost got it right.'' She could hear her husband saying. Rebekah didn't understand why he wanted to teach her so much, really. The young representation of Copenhagen had said more than once that she doesn't want to learn, but Roderich always managed to get her sit on the bench behind the grand piano in the living room.
"Papa, ich kann das nicht machen." the blonde girl mumbled, looking down at the piano keys. She looked and acted more like Rebekah than Roderich. Her dark-blond hair, the blue eyes, the stubbornness, the ability to make noise far bigger than her size. And like Rebekah, she didn't want to learn how to play. ''Can we .. try some other time?''
''Anni, if you don't try and practice, of course you won't be able to do it. Now play the song again.'' And the poor Danish female had to listen her daughter failing at playing 'Fur Elise' once again. Finally, getting fed up with this she slammed the book on the coffee table hard, turning around to face them.
''You and you. Both off of the piano. I don't want to hear a tone more for the rest of the week. Roderich, if she doesn't want to learn piano, let her be. Anniken, when your Far wants you to do something, you do it, ja? Now Roderich go make a cake or something. I don't want to hear the damned piano again today, are we clear?'' she ranted, putting her hand on her hip and giving them both 'the look'.
And of course, they better listen to Mor or it's going to be scary.
Yet another AusDen plus my dear Copenhagen OC, Anniken. Enjoy your DenAus.
