-Curtain Call-

Ruby had to rush ahead of both Weiss and Velvet towards the stage, though she didn't mind the latter as much seeing as she discovered her secret already, and on the second day too! I gotta get better at having a poker face and not letting people find out! Stupid Ruby. Ruby was by the stage dressing rooms, as she saw Ozpin for a split second before he opened the door to her dressing room letting her run through it before closing the door behind her.

He chuckled as he heard a loud crash in her room and the quietest curse he had ever heard in all his years being the headmaster at Beacon. He chuckled to himself, I cannot wait to see how you three conduct this piece, He locked out into the crowd spotting a still blushing Nora and a happy Pyrrha waiting to see Velvet play piano. Three down, two more to go it seems.

Weiss was the second one to reach the backstage area, taking a quick second to catch her breath and look presentable before going up to the stage coordinator who looked at her, before looking at his list to see that she was in fact on it, and was the main act.

"Weiss Schnee, room number two, good luck out there ma'am."

She smiled at him giving his a silent thank you before going into her room, she looked to her right and saw that Velvet had arrived and was walking towards her. She shot her a smile.

"Hey, Weiss, lo-looks like were p-performing toge-together?"

"Yeah we are... are you scared?"

Velvet shot her a worried glance as Weiss saw through her. Her hands were shaking, clammy and filled with nervousness. She never performed in front of a crowd this large, and it scared her to bits and pieces. She just wanted to hide in a corner, or at least have a much smaller crowd. Weiss took her hands, and Velvet looked up at the girl who wore the brightest smile she could muster.

"Your going to do fine Velvet... I'm scared too, but were going to do fine, even we have to impress the most famous violinist if we want to get arms bands don't we? So lets try."

Velvet smiled and nodded her head and Weiss and they broke off, with each girl going to their respective dressing rooms. In each room, the girls found their respective dress which was tailor made to accentuate their figure, with Weiss's being white and Velvet's being a dark red. Once both came out of their rooms, there was no time to talk at all as they were tapped on the shoulder, by non other than Red Rose herself. Both immediately looked at each other then nodded at Red Rose who led them to their spots on stage, with the velvet red curtain still closed, once all three were situated, she pulled them aside and gave them distorted words of encouragement.

"*Zzz* I know your both scared, I am too. A good musician will always be scared for any performance, its a lesser one that doesn't get scared and acts to cocky who is the one who ultimately fails. Now are you two ready *Zzz*?"

Both of them nodded as they returned to their respective places, with Weiss holding a mic out in front, Velvet off to the side sitting a a large grand piano that Velvet wanted to run through its motions, but did not have the time or the privacy to do so. Red Rose was holding her voilin up to her chin with he rbow ready to deliver amazing music as usual. Weiss thought to herself for a minute as to whys he thought Red Rose's voice was so familiar.

It couldn't be Ruby, could it?

Weiss shook those thoughts from her head as the curtain rose showing the filled audience of the music hall. Weiss looked at Velvet and Velvet smiled back, which helped ease the worries that Weiss had. And Velvet began to play on the piano.

The song was one she had written and preformed for her own family and a few select friends such as Ozpin long time ago, now it was the crux of this entire performance, which after Ozpin was going to say a few words.

As once as Weiss began to sing, Red Rose joined in on her violin playing in tune to what she sang, making sure as to not drown out Weiss to much, but during the times were Weiss held a note, Red Rose did the occasional riff of notes to amuse the already amazed crowd.

Nora and Pyrrha were amazed by how good both Velvet and Weiss were, they had such a resonance with Red Rose during the whole performance. And once the peace picked up, the crowd cheered even more. Both Nora and Pyrrha were impressed by how well Velvet was playing, and soon they realized something about how she was playing.

Velvet was playing with her eyes closed.

It made the whole scene even more amazing as they reached her solo, allowing her to roll down the piano, and the screen on top of the stage focused in on her and her hands moving and showed her playing with her eyes closed which make the crowd even more ecstatic as she finished with an impressive bout of finger independence as she rolled with both hands.

The song soon ended as all three held out there last notes till they all gave out, the piano stopped resonating and the note died out, Red Rose's violin did the same and Weiss's voice died down as she sang her last note out. She was tired and out of breath after all of it, but still smiled at the crowd as they cheered them on. Ozpin walked onto the stage once everything died down and gave them all congratulations, and as did Glynda Goodwitch,

"That was an amazing show of talent from our very own new freshmen, Weiss Schnee, and Velvet Scalantia.. and our most revered freshman Red Rose.'"

Ozpin smiled as the crowd groaned, many were hoping that he would slip up and tell them who Red Rose was, but Ozpin knew better than that and played well and right into his own hand. He tapped the mic which brought everyone back to their senses as they listened in on him

"Now to my announcement. Many of you came from far and wide to play and learn at Beacon. I applaud your fortitude. But be prepared for grueling lessons and practice. Beacon does not take kindly to slackers who came here through no methods. Out of the crowd I see in front of me, I say about 10% will have a life in music. Work hard to be part of this 10%. You are dismissed, your classes start in 2 hours, hop your ready."
