Hello people!!!
I'm sorry I took so long to update but I've lost my flash drive and chapter 4 was on it. I was being really lazy and didn't back it up.;
I didn't want to write the whole things again so I'll make it up to you by making this a Double Chapter update! Don't worry, this one will still make sense. Hee ;
For anyone who was confused, chapter three was supposed to happen two weeks after chapter two.
Disclaimer: None of Naoko Takeuchi's characters belong to me. (duh). Oh you should know the technical babble by now.
Haruka
leant back against the wall, studying the score.
"I'm not sure
about that b natural, is it a typo?" Michiru sounded anxious as she
carefully applied her eyeliner.
"It's fine, it's meant to
sound a bit strange. It will sound good against the rest of the
orchestra."
"I hope so." Michiru opened her violin case and
tested the strings, and snapped e was the last thing she needed.
Haruka recognised this as one of her nervous traits. "It'll be
fine." She wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Pianos don't
generally snap strings." Michiru put the violin down and picked up
her cello.
"True but you replaced the strings recently, don't
they have a warranty?"
"Yes, but that won't matter if it
breaks during the concert." She adjusted the fine tuners
again.
"It's in tune." Haruka realized that she wasn't
nervous at all. "Why are you so jittery? I'm not nervous."
"I
guess I don't know what the public will think." She sighed. "We'd
better get going." Haruka gently picked up the cello and put it
back in the case, snapping the clasps shut.
"I'll take it, I'm
not an invalid." Michiru protested.
"No, but you're also
carrying the violin and your music." And
our child Haruka added
silently. "You wouldn't want to drop anything."
"You're
right, I'm ready." She shouldered her violin case and scooped up
her music. "Let's go."
Haruka's
hands flew across the keys, spinning a sharp, fast melody. She
finished the piece with a loud e major chord, quickly turning the
page, she began on the sweet Adage in b flat minor she had written
for Michiru a year ago. Michiru had insisted that it would be in the
programme. "It's beautiful." She had said.
Her thoughts flew
to her aqua haired girlfriend.
She played the last note and stood
up, noticing eyes filled with tears. Bowing to the thunderous
applause, she strode off stage and into the wings.
Michiru
walked in to the spotlight. "KAIOU MICHIRU AND HER CELLO SUITE
NUMBER 2 IN A SHARP MINOR" She sat down, arranging the music that
had been placed before her. She raised her bow, beginning at a slow
tempo that eventually became faster before slowing down again. She
had written this for violin but had found that she couldn't do the
longer slower parts justice. For cello, long drawn out notes were
beautiful.
Michiru had enjoyed writing this piece, knowing people
would enjoy listening to it.
Haruka at the piano, ready to play, their finale was a duet: Kaiou's Ocean Pictures for Piano and Violin. She began and knew that Michiru was counting the long slow notes. Her bow would be poised, ready for her entry. There it was a sweet Adagio, leaving long vibrattoed notes that sang of beauty and peace. They then weaved complex melodies about themselves in the Minuet and Allegretto, Haruka echoing Michiru's melodies in harmonies that they had spent hours on, together. She poured her love for her partner into the grand piano, broadcasting it to the world. They wound it up with a sharp loud Allegro.
They stood together, bowing in unison, stepping back as the curtains came down and then up. Bowing again, they left arm in arm.
Yes,
I am a musician. I couldn't help myself, really.
