Duet

:: (Established Iambic Prose)

Danny hummed as he floated through the Ghost Zone, blinking as he saw Ember suddenly hovering in front of him, raised eyebrow. "Why the hell are you carrying a guitar?"

"Heh, Andrew finally manged to convince me to play for him," Danny grinned, scratching the back of his head, careful of the instrument strapped to his back. "I'm not as good as you but I do have fun playing." Ember nodded, eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh please no."

"I'll let you go for today, seeing as you have your mate to get to, but next time I'm in Amity we're having a rock-off." Danny opened his mouth to argue only to pause, tilting his head. It actually did sound pretty fun. "I'm sensing your weakness to refuse."

"Ha! Fine, rock-off it is," Danny grinned, Ember nodding her head and flying over. Shaking his head he continued to the library, Vidya opening her doors immediately for him. Flying inside he looked around for Andrew, ears prickling as the sounds of a piano reached his ears. Grinning even wider he flew after the sound, hovering outside the door to what Danny knew was the music room.

Phasing in to avoid noise he grinned even wider as he saw Andrew playing the piano, this time it being a rock song. And really, Danny had not expected his mate to know rock songs. It was a pleasant surprise. Hearing a hum in his head he tilted his head to listen to Vidya, who mentally nudged him towards the corner. Seeing an electric guitar and an amp Danny almost cackled.

Setting his acoustic down on a couch in the corner he carefully crept over, carrying the two objects to rest next to the piano. Plugging in the guitar he turned the amp on, adjusting dials with practiced ease as he waited for Andrew's song to end and another to begin. He wondered what this one would be, and if he would even notice Danny was there yet.

Hearing the opening notes to a song that had heavy guitar playing Danny had a feeling Vidya had a hand in choosing the next song. Hearing the humming in his head he almost laughed at how the lair was as cunning as her owner. Waiting for the opening notes to end he launched into his guitar playing, laughing lightly at how Andrew hadn't even noticed the sudden electric guitar weaving in time with his notes.

Floating in the air Danny continued playing the song, lyrics absently coming to mind as he started to lightly sing, voice almost lost over the guitar and piano notes. When the song began to wind down he played the last notes, looking up to see Andrew was giving him an amused look. "...Vidya told you the second I was here, didn't she?"

"I was curious as to whether you would join in or not," Andrew snickered, Danny huffing and giving him a heatless glare. Setting the electric down he flew over to collect his acoustic, taking a seat next to Andrew and watching as the ghost rolled his eyes and scooted over so Danny would have more room. "How many more songs do you know?"

"Depends, how many do you know," Danny grinned, laughing as Andrew shook his head and launched into a song he knew by heart. "You know me so well. By the way, how likely am I to win in a rock-off against Ember?"

"Not very," Andrew mused, Danny snickering as he played a perfect sequence of notes that had Andrew looking impressed, "You'll at least have a fighting chance, I suppose."

"Wonder if I can rope Jazz into playing drums for me," Danny grinned, Andrew giving him a look. "Hey, Mom and Dad asked her what she wanted to play, she was seven, she chose drums. She's actually really good, even if she'll never admit to it." Leaning against Andrew he smiled and closed his eyes, letting his fingers find the notes by memory. "So, when Ember does come to kick my butt in a rock-off will you be my pianist?"

"For as long as you want."


Can you imagine Danny playing guitar though? Because I can. Easily.
