Roberto had hired a piano instructor. for Jack. He had insisted that he continued to practice his trade. The stern looking instructor was tall, had gray hair, a hooked nose a sharp chin. He also seemed to be ancient. "My name is Franz Chopin. I will be your new piano instructor." Jack raised an eyebrow at the old man, then looked to Roberto. "With all due respect this is a waste of money." Jack said. Roberto scowled. "Be nice! He is the best piano instructor in New Meridian. He can teach anyone." He said. "That's right young man. Now lets get to it! Chop chop!" He said walking into the piano room. Jack rolled his eyes and followed him. Roberto decided to wait outside for a while. He could not hear anything from the behind the closed door. After a few minutes he decided to leave when suddenly the door swung open and the old man walked briskly out. "What's the matter?" Roberto asked. Jack walked out of the room behind him. "There is nothing that I can teach him." The old man said heading for the exit. Roberto walked after him. "What do you mean by that?!" He demanded. Franz turned "It seems... that he has already mastered the art." He said reluctantly. "I will still require payment in full for my trouble." He said opening the door. "But you said-" Roberto started before being interrupted by a "Good day." And having the door shut in his face. Roberto stood there. "How rude!" Leviathan said. Jack casually walked up to them. "He may have been the best piano instructor in New Meridian, but my father was the best piano player in the WORLD" he said before walking away.
Jack decided to find Squigly. She had mentioned earlier today that she would be practicing as well. He had not yet heard her sing and was eager to listen to her. He searched until he heard somethimg truly enchanting. He followed the sound to a room. As he approached he peaked around the corner and there she was. The sunlight shone upon her through the window and her hair glistened in the rays. Her arm was raised and eyes were closed. She was singing a beautiful opera song. Her voice sounded like an angel straight from heaven. She was naturally saprano and her opera was as pure as a mountain spring. He leaned in closer as to not miss a single note. Jack began to lean to far and suddenly lost his footing sending him stumbling into the room. He landed face first onto the floor. Noticing him Squigly jumped in suprise. Jack sat up dazed. "My word! Are you alright Jack?" Selene asked kneeling down to him. He sat up and looked at the two. He had been so enchanted by Squigly that he hadn't even noticed her mother. "Yes I'm fine I was just...listening." He said in reply. Squigly giggled. "Did you like it?" She asked him. Jack stood up and brushed himself off. "So much that I forgot how to stand." He said. They both shared a laugh. "Have you ever performed before?" He asked her. "No... Not yet anyways." She said. "Hopefully both of your first performances will be together. There is no better combination than opera and piano" Selene said. "Speaking of which shouldn't you be practicing with that piano instructor? I thought I heard him arrive." She said. Jack smiled under his mask. "He was here. Let's just say he was under qualified."
