AUTHOR'S NOTE: After the negative reviews I got for my fic, So Close, I wasn't sure if I wanted to write any more fics. However, I became inspired while watching The Aristocats with my husband and children. So, I decided to write this. It's like my BBF says, "Negative responses should make you want to do better not quit." sighs

Scales & Arpeggios
It's four o' clock and it's time for piano and voice practice. Heero, Duo, and Relena all rushed into the living room where Mrs. Dorlian waited for them. Of course, Duo and Relena was once again arguing and fighting.
Mrs. Dorlian got up and inserted herself in the middle of the two bickering siblings.
"Alright! Alright. That's enough you two! Now Heero, you go to your painting. Relena and Duo, the two of you go to the piano to practice your scales and your arpeggios." Mrs. Dorlain instructed the two bickering siblings.
"Yes mama." Heero says.
"Yes mama." Relena and Duo says together.
Relena and Duo both hurried off to the piano, pushing one another to get to the piano first. Heero simply ignored them both and began gathering everything he needed to paint. After all, he had to practice if he wanted to be famous like Picasso. Duo went to climb onto the bench only to be pushed out of the way as Relena took the spot where he was going to sit.
"Duo frowned and glared intensely at Relena. Relena just turned up her nose and carefully dusts off her dress.
Duo gets up onto the bench and cracks his knuckles one by one with a grin knowing that it always drove Relena crazy. Relena frowns bitterly, now glaring at Duo the say way he glared at her only moments ago.
"Ready when you are maestro!" Relena says and then sticking out her tongue at him.
Duo ran his hands across the keys startling Relena and almost making her fall back off of the bench.
"Ma! He did it again!" Relena cried out in dismay.
"Tattletale," Duo whispered, plucking a note from the key.
"I thought I told you both to stop it," Mrs. Dorlian says, taking a seat near the piano where her two pupils sat. "Now Duo, will you please start the song for us?"
Duo began playing the piano….
Relena begins to sing.
"Do mi so do do si mi do. Every truly cultured student knows. You must learn your scales and your arpeggios. Feel the music ringing from your chest and not your nose. While you sing your scales and your arpeggios."
"If you're faithful to your daily practicing. You will find your progress is encouraging. Do mi so mi do mi so mi do me fa la so it goes. When you sing your scales and your arpeggios." Duo sings next.
"Do mi so do…." Relena begins but stops as Duo begins to play the piano fast. "Hmph! Show off!"
Heero, hands still covered with paint, sat next to Duo and began playing the deeper notes on the piano, paint covering some of the keys.
Relena and Mrs. Dorlian sings together.
"Do mi so do do so mi do. Do mi so do do so mi do. Though it seems as first it doesn't show. Like a tree ability will bloom and grow.
Duo and Heero both jumped in, now all four of them are singing together.
"If your smart you'll learn by heart what every artist knows…when you learn your scales and your arpeeeeeeegiooooooos!"
Duo and Heero both tried to outdoing one another only to end up falling off of the bench laughing.
"I don't see what's so funny!" Relena says.
Of course, Mrs. Dorlian could not help but laugh also at her silly little ones.
R&R please and tell me what you think. Yes…it basically follows the movie.
