Elios and Rini took their places, and started the dance. They had barely gotten through half of it when the teacher said, "Sit down Miss Tsukino, it's your turn Mr. Tsunama." He pulled a sheet of music from his pocket, and handed it to the teacher, "Dream a Dream? You can't possibly pull this off without a first or second soprano, do you know the song Miss Tsukino?"

"I love it, I will sing it in second soprano." Clearly she was a girl of many talents, "Thanks." He whispered, and they sang, "When the night is still, and the sea is calm, lonely shadow, you call upon me..." Everyone applauded, and they sat down again. Elios was most definitely attracted to this girl; "I would like to see you both after class that was magnificent. I'm sorry that we had to drop your acting audition Mr. Tsunama, but we are short on time." The rest of the auditions were hurried along, and they all muttered a curse for being out-acted by Elios and Rini.

The two of them stayed after class and the teacher told them to sit, "You two are quite the pair, I have rarely had such fine actors on my stage, and both of you have tremendous stage presence."

"Arigato." They both said at once, "I can see your greatest strengths, Elios' is in his dancing, and Rini, yours resides in singing. Did you somehow plan this or something?"

"That would be impossible, we only met today." He said nonchalantly, and he could sense Rini's gaze on him, "I see, well you likely have the leads in whatever play we do. I do not do so many musicals, but this will have to be one. How many plays have you each been in?"

"Fifty-six." Rini said, and both teacher and student stared at her, "Twenty-eight, how did you manage that?"

"I had an agent when I was younger who arranged a whole two years of stage productions, and one movie for me."

"A movie, which one?"

"Nothing big, just a role in 'The Secret Garden' I had the smallest part as a girl in the orphanage." He could believe it, she looked more American that Japanese, "And you Mr. Tsunama?"

"I traveled in the U.S. for 'The Music Man'."

"So did I! Who were you?"

"I was in the Barbershop Quartet as Oliver Hix; it was a teen performance agency."

"I was Marian, same thing." He could have guessed that, "So you have quite a bit of experience." The teacher said, "Not that much..."

"Do not be naïve that is a lot more work than most professionals ever do."

"I... I don't like to brag."

"I can see why."
