Chaptire Three: A Song & Voice of Perfection

Alexandra fiddled with her hands nervously as she waited to go on-stage. For all her worrying about how she would look coming out of the rain, she pulled together pretty well. Her hair rested on her shoulders in a messy, wet braid & shined with her many colors that resided in her hair. She wore long black plants that flared at the end & a Long sleeved white shirt that buttoned in the back & had a red ribbon the tied under her breast & reached to her waist. Although she didn't admit to herself, she was indeed a beautiful girl. When Tifa had called her name, and the crowd clapped as she came onstage, they realized it to.

Is it or is it a natural conception...?

Alexandra walked to center strange & lowered the microphone to her height. Cloud took a seat at the piano. Tifa had cleared the stage & was now standing by Vincent. Alexandra knew that when Tifa had called her name, she had to be prepared for anything. Such was the way of a musician. Some people will like your singing; and others won't. Alexandra looked & the many people & wondered how many would like her.

"Umm... Hi." she said, shaking nervously. "M.. My song tonight is called 'If I Can Be With You.'. I hope you like it." she said. She readjusted herself & then nodded at Cloud. Cloud played a loud cord. Then it was followed by a fast-going line after it. Alexandra had noticed he was a talented Pianist, but not as good as her Mother. He finally played the final note before she came in. Alexandra took a deep breath & hoped for the best.

Is it always the same...?

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Vincent stood next to Tifa, watching the girl. He wondered if Tifa was right in saying that this girl was good. It had been a long time since Vincent heard a talented singer other than his long forgotten friend. When he heard her sing, he was in awe. A tiny girl with a soft, yet strong powerful voice. It was unlike anything he had heard. Her lyrics were sad, even though she seemed full of joy.

I wanted to see you but I couldn't. So I just gazed into the sky. I wanted to tell you but I couldn't & the wind stopped. So much, I love you so much; but my feelings aren't reflected in your eyes.

You're smiling at me without knowing my feelings at all. I can't smile back with the face of a friend.

I want you to know my heartending sorrow. I can't continue hiding my feelings like this because it's so painful.

Everyone around her was silent, not wanting to miss a word of her story of a song. Vincent was extremely interested in her song. Tifa looked over to her friend, the sense of comfort in his eyes staring at the young singer & smiled.

"Well, it's a start." she thought to herself as she turned back to listen to more of her song.

Because I couldn't say it & I was lonely, I kept it all inside me. If I tell you, I won't be able to be with you anymore.

If I didn't meet you, I wouldn't have to experience this. If I could hate you, I wouldn't have had this much pain.

Standing alone in the rain with no shelter. I'm waiting for the burning fire in my heart to go out.

Alexandra never let her mind wonder as she sang. (A/N: I have to do this also when I sing. If my mind wonders, I get lost completely.) She had to think of nothing but the song she was singing. But, her mind couldn't help but wonder to a certain person in the crowd. It wasn't her Father, as she hoped it would. It wasn't her Sister, which she also hoped it would. No. It was a man she had never seen before. He wore a long red cloak & had Dark Dark Black hair. Why her mind wondered to him, she didn't know. She had fixed her eyes on him when she had began singing, and had never looked away. There was something about him the was calming, and that's what kept her on track until the end.

Before I noticed, the rain had already stopped. I feel a little warmth in my closed hand. I'll take being your friend if I can be with you.

Her final note was done, the final note on Piano, also finished. She exhaled a bit from the long note. Everything was silent for a bit, then it changed drastically. A huge cheer that surpassed all others. Alexandra smiled.

"Thank You... Thank you very much." she said as the cheering continued. Right then, she felt a happiness she hadn't felt in a while. Little did she know, it wouldn't last long.

I'm just trying to remember...

Tifa, who was clapping with everyone else, looked to her side at Vincent. What she saw was surprising. Vincent, clapping for this girl. She laughed a little.

"What?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, nothing." she said, still laughing a bit. "I just can't remember the last time you were actually pleased with a preformence." she said, a happy smile on her face. Vincent looked shocked at her. "So, you thought she was good, huh?" she asked him. Vincent looked back up to Alexandra & chuckled.

"Yeah. She was good." he said, serenity inside his voice. Tifa smiled again to herself.

"Maybe..." she thought. "This is more of a start then I thought."

Will you play it again...?
