SSF: I have nothing to say other than this music week is only a side chapter, and for a bit i'm going to draw this out until it gets closer to december. My reason: I want to feel the festive season coming before I write the christmas chapter. So enjoy.

Chapter 16

It was already the next day and Tori was up on his laptop going through various songs on youtube trying to find the perfect song to present, the last thing he wanted was a low grade given by another strict as hell teacher. He closed the window as he heard someone knock on the door, he got up and answered only to see Vash, he blinked in confusion, why was he here? And where was his sister?

"Hello Tori." Vash said in his monotone.
"Look I haven't looked at your sister since Sports Week. I haven't flirted with her since. Honest! You can ask her yourself!"
"Shut up! I didn't come here to see if you had done anything to my sister. Wait you were looking at her in Sports Week. It was during the water events, wasn't it?!"
"Uh no? Anyway, what can I do for you?" Vash had a cold stare looking for a lie in his eyes, finding nothing he nodded and walked in sitting on the bed, he looked up at the silver eyed teenager for a bit.

"My sister is singing with Bella, and Michelle, and she told me I needed to do a number with someone, and I refuse to go up to Roderich! So that leaves me with you. I hope to god you better know how to sing" Tori paled, so that's hat this is about? Well it can't be too bad, right?

"Well b-back at my old school I got a B+ in Choir if that means anything?"
"Fine whatever, so what song did you have?"
"About that..."
"Yes?"
"I still haven't found a song to sing yet. I've been looking on youtube this whole time, and I still have nothing."
"Great. At least Roderich knows what he's doing! Now we have less time to practice. Here let me find some." Vash said as he took the laptop from Tori's desk and started looking for a song.

"Thanks Vash."
"Don't thank me yet. I haven't found a song. But thanks...for working with me and stuff." Tori smiled at the blonde and patted his shoulder.

"You're welcome." He watched Vash played around a bit on youtube, then going to the files on the computer, the Swiss nodded in approval and opened the music selection,

"Okay let's see what you have from CD's or downloads" to his surprise there was over five hundred of different genre and artist, hell some were like from the 80's! Vash held his head and played them all, "Alright, we listen see if we like it move on."
"Sounds like a good plan, so what song is your sister singing with her group?" Vash shrugged a bit

"They're doing Hey Mickey," Tori nodded, before he could say a word a sound of violins came, in a eerie like tempo, soon enough the words came

"How it all began
If truth be told
Had a master plan
Now I rule the world

Took 'em by surprise
Worked my way up hill
They looked into my eyes
I became invincible-"

Tori nodded in approval "Yeah let's do this song!" Vash looked at him like he was an idiot and shook his head,

"There is no way in hell we're singing this" Tori gave a cute pout

"What's wrong with 'Don't Mess with Me?' Come on it's a good song!"

"No.." he said changing the song.

"Awww. You're mean. Why not?"
"I don't need to hear violins, and this song doesn't fit at all."
"So the violins remind you of-"
"Don't you dare bring him up or else I will break your face!" Vash screamed warningly toward the silver eyed boy. Tori quickly shut his mouth and nodded at him.

"Good. Now let's find something else."

-Line Break-

It was already dinner, and the next performance was about to begin, Tori went through the program and took a bite of the Cheese fondue in front of him and Vash, he looked up at him and shook his head,

"Remember that song you said we weren't going to do?"

"What about it?" he asked in a harsh tone.

"Ivan and Roderich are performing it, well more like Roderich is providing the music while Ivan sings it"

"How wonderful" he said rolling his eyes. "And I suppose you want to see how they do?" Tori shook his head no, and set the program down,

"Not really, to be fair I just want to work on our musical problems."
"Good boy. We know they'll do badly."
"We do?"
"Of course we do! Ivan can't sing that well, and the jerkface can only play the violin so well to hide his horrible singing voice." Vash screamed in a matter of fact tone.

"Umm okay. Should we keep looking for a song?"
"Yes. We need to keep looking." Before another word was spoken, Vash was greeted with a hug, he looked and saw his sister with a bright smile on her face. He smiled and petted her head retying the ribbon in her hair to make it stay seeing how it was starting to slip out from doing those dance routines with her group.

"Shouldn't you be practicing Lillian?"
"We're on break silly" she saw Tori and smiled "Hey Tori, how are you?"

"We're good Lil, just st-" Vash laid a hand on Tori's mouth silencing him.

"Starting practice after dinner," Lillian's eyes brightened up, so her brother found someone to sing with! This was wonderful, and he was singing with her friend too!
"Oh that's great! What song are you singing?" Vash inwardly paled, he didn't like lying to his sister, but he didn't want to embarrass himself by saying they hadn't picked a song yet,
"It's a surprise, but I promise you it will blow your mind away" he said with a smile.

"I look forward to it then! I'll won't keep you two then! I'll see you later! Bye Tori" Lillian said as she went to get some dinner.

"Your sister is so nice."
"Yeah. She is."
"And so pretty."
"What did you say?!"
"Nothing! Nothing!"

-Line Break-

During the performance with Ivan and Roderich, well Vash was right, Ivan was horrible! He winced, his favorite song, butchered 'Don't Mess With Me' at least he can listen to the violin, Vash on the other hand had earplugs in to drown the sounds of Ivan's singing and Roderich's playing. Finally when it was over to everyone's relieve, Vash and Tori left to their dorms, Stopping on floor three, Vash looked Tori dead in the eyes,

"I'll see you tomorrow, then?" Tori nodded and left to his room. Sighing he threw his books to the bed and went to the Xbox 360 Alfred gave him as a get well soon gift from that sports day knock out Kiku did in Boxing. Tori grabbed a random game and began playing most of all night, hoping to clear his mind of Vash's death threats, and Ivan's singing. It was going to be a long night for sure.
