Chapter 3:

Pyro looked nervously over the sheet music the conductor had given her. Normally she would have been fiddling with her lighter to take her mind off things, but sheet music and fire did not mix well, at least for the sheet music anyways. She had never played professionally before and didn't want to let Medda down. She was relieved to find the music easier than she thought.

Pyro looked up and giggled as she watched Spaz fiddle with the curtains, Eight was in the box office with Medda, and Pyro couldn't see her. She gathered up the sheet music and walked over to Spaz, she hummed some of the trickier runs as she read the music while she walked.

"That's pretty..." Spaz commented looking over at her friend, "Are you playing it?"

"Yeppers." Pyro answered as she looked up from the music. "So, how long did Medda say before the show starts...?"

"five minutes"

Pyro's eyes went wide, "Really?! Wow I thought we had another hour..." she grabbed her clarinet and turned to head towards the band "I'd better get back to my place, before the director notices I'm missing..."

As Pyro slipped into her chair, she could here the sounds in the lobby of Eight "negotiating" with the customers.

~~~

After the show, Pyro's lips were numb, but that wasn't unusual. She met up with Eight and Spaz in the box office, Eight was still counting money.

"Blarg...I've never played 2 hours straight before!" Pyro commented to Spaz.

"Yeah! And those curtains are heavier than they look!" Spaz replied.

"Did you guys notice the amount of boys in the audience?" Eight asked as she wrapped a rubber band around a stack of bills, "I saw Jack come in... heh, he wouldn't look at me as he paid for his ticket..."

Spaz and Pyro laughed.

"Ya know," Pyro started after a moment, "the one good thing about livin' out doors is you don't have to worry much about where to light a fire."

"We could get you a candle." Spaz offered.

"A big one." Eight added.

Pyro grinned, "Yay!"

"There!" Eight said, as she placed last stack of bills in a bag and quickly jotted down a number in the ledger. "That's the last one." She placed the ledger and bag of money in the safe under the desk. "What should we do now?"

Pyro grinned, "I dunno, what do you wanna do?"

Spaz grinned back and replied, "I dunno, what do you wanna do?"

"I dun..."

"Nuh uh! Lets not start that again!" Eight exclaimed cutting them off. Pyro and Spaz giggled, and fell silent as they thought of something to alleviate their boredom.

"Hey, girls!" Medda greeted them as she walked in, "You guys did a great job tonight!" She looked around at them, "You guys look famished!" She reached into her pocket, "Here," she handed them each 50 cents, "Go get something to eat, I hear there's a great little place nearby called Tibby's..." She winked at them as she left.

They stared down at the money in their hands, "Wow! 50 cents!" Pyro exclaimed.

"That's a lot of money," Spaz agreed, shoving her money into her pocket.

Eight was already halfway out the door, "What are you guys waiting for?" she called.

Spaz and Pyro hurried after her

"Where are we going?" Pyro asked as they headed down the street.

"To Tibby's, of course!" Eight called back.
