The Sandlot 3: Heading Home: Sydney's Summer

Chapter 19: My Hidden Talent

(Sydney's P.O.V)

I'm at home playing "Your Song" by Elton John. I was singing along through it and playing it.

(Outside EJ's P.O.V)

I'm riding my bike to go visit Sydney, I look at Sydney's window and I hear her singing and playing her piano, Wow! I thought. I never knew that Sydney could sing and play piano, she's very good. I'm going to ask her about this.

(Sydney's P.O.V)

I'm singing at the chorus part, and I hear a knock on a door. "I'll get it." I said. I see EJ, smiling at me with his adorable cocky grin. "Hey cutie, what's up? How are you?" he asked. "Oh nothing much, just chilling in this house." I replied. "Oh really, I could've sworn that I heard you sang and play your piano." He asked suspiciously.

"Uh, no you didn't." I lied. I walked away, until EJ grabbed my arm. "C'mon Sidee, please don't lie. That's not how it works in our relationship. I would never lie to you, I would tell you everything." He said. I looked back at him and I gave him an agreeing look. He took me by the hand and we sat down on the porch swing. "Ok, EJ. You're the only person I told about my singing and piano playing other than my mom." I told him. "Really? Why didn't you tell your team?" he asked.

"Because, they expect that I will become a baseball star like them. But, to tell you the truth, I don't want to be a baseball star. I want to be singer/musician." I said. "Sidee, I believe in you. I know you can do this, I've seen you sing and play, and you have the X-factor for it alright." He said.

"Really EJ?" I said, smiling. "Yes, Sidee, I mean it." he smiled back. "Sidee, how about I hear you sing and play? I would love to hear you, it's interesting. Then, we can go watch the movie after I hear you. Is that alright?" he asked. "It's fine, alright I will sing for you." I replied. I walked inside my house, and I sat on my piano bench and he sat right beside me.

"Ok, start." He said. I started playing and singing. He was smiling and looked as if he was interested in my music. Then, it was over. "Wow Sidee, you are really good." He said. He looked amazed and surprised. "Thanks, EJ." I smiled, bashfully. "Your song touched my heart. I loved it, so much." He said.

He took my hand, and put it towards his heart. I can feel it beat, pretty fast. "Thanks, again." I said. He came up to me and kissed me. He started cupping my face, and I put my arms around his neck. He started deepening the kiss; I pulled his hair, playing with his scalps. And I kissed back, and we both pulled back. "I love you, Sidee." He smiled. "I love you too, EJ." I said. He came over and hugged me, and I hugged back. "Now, let's get out of this house and hit the movies."

He said happily.

"Ok, let's go." I said. He took my hand, and he picked me up and put me on the front of his bike to the movies. I hope we have a great time, without my teammates trying to break us up. I hope.
