Here's a new chapter! It's a short scene between Jane and Klaus. This is where mine and Jane's love for music kind of comes in a bit more...
Chapter Four: Drops of Jupiter
The following day was normal…for Aunt Josephine anyways. After Aunt Josephine's grammar lesson of the day, Klaus and I held back in the library. Aunt Josephine had a grand piano but she warned us it was dangerous. I really wanted to play though, since I hadn't in such a long time.
I sat down at the piano and ran my hands along the ivory keys. I felt more like I was home when I played the piano.
"Do you know how to play?" Klaus asked, coming over to the piano.
"Yes," I said, "I used to play all the time at school. I taught myself how to play. I had so much time to do so…since I never went anywhere else really. Music is just so beautiful."
"Another Mozart," Klaus said, making me chuckle, "Do know classical music?"
"A little bit," I admitted, "mostly contemporary music though. Do you know the song Drops of Jupiter by Train?"
"No," Klaus replied. "Can you play it for me?"
"Um…I don't know," I said, shyly, "that would require me to sing and…uh…"
"Please, play it or something," Klaus insisted.
I sighed. "Alright." I had memorized the notes to the song since it was one of my favorites. I found the first chord and began to chime away.
"Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey," I smiled sheepishly at Klaus who smiled encouragingly.
"She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself out there?" I began to get more comfortable and found I was having more fun.
"Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na , na, na, na
And did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
And did you fall for a shooting star?
Fall for a shooting star?
And now you're lonely looking for yourself out there."
I finished the last notes and looked up at Klaus, shyly. I've never sung or played for anyone before.
"How was that?" I asked.
Klaus smiled, brightly. "That was amazing," he said.
I blushed and looked down. "Really?"
"I'm serious, Jane," he said, "You're really good."
I shrugged. "You only heard one song." I got up from the piano and started to head from the library. Klaus followed me.
"I'm being honest," Klaus said, "I wouldn't lie."
I shook my head slightly but said nothing.
This music element of Jane's likes won't have them breaking into dance numbers or anything! It's not Glee or highschool musical lol! I love Glee though! I'm a Darren Criss fan! AVPM!
