MiCHiES POV
I woke up around 8 am, pretty early than I usually do. I showered, got dressed in a casual outfit, and put on a pot of coffee. I ended up cleaning around the house for a bit as well, I did some reorganizing and I sweeped and mopped the floor. By the time I was finished it was already 9:30 am. I already sent Wilbur my address last night. Everything was ready for Wilburs arrival.  Speaking of which he should be here soon. I took out my keyboard, some sheets of paper and pens since we'll be brainstorming a lot.

A little while later I hear the doorbell ring. I went to open the door and saw Wilbur Soot standing with a box of Donuts and a guitar behind his back. He smiled down at me widely.

"Well let's make some music!" Wilbur said happily.

We both walked in, Wilbur sat at the table while I poured two cups of coffee out in mugs. By now I already know how Will likes his coffee. He likes it dark, but sugary.

"Here, just how you like it! So, let's talk music. What are we writing?" I asked Wilbur as I sat down with my mug and grabbing a classic donut.

"Uh, I don't know...well, most of the song I've made were about past relationships. Something along the lines of 'love'". He said.

"Okay so love." I said as I wrote down the word 'love' on a piece of paper, as well as 'past relationships'. "So what about a past relationship, what is it that stood out the most that would make a good song?" I asked him.

He took a while to respond but he finally said "Her facial expressions. I never knew if she was annoyed, upset or...I don't know, taunting me in a sort of way."

"Okay, that's actually great! We're getting somewhere. So her facial expressions, what would she do? Like wrinkle her nose?" I said as I wrote down bullet points of everything he's said so far.

"Yes! She would wrinkle her nose. It was quite annoying. As well as her asking "are you alright?" Like as if she wasn't the one making my life miserable." He said while sipping his coffee.

"'Are you alright?' Hmm okay, so how would you respond to that?" I asked and quickly took a bite of my donut.

"I would just be like 'yeah' or act like I was asleep." He said.

"Okay so for lyrics. The song can start off like "she's always asking 'are you alright'" or better yet "she's always asking 'Am I alright?' Since I think "Are you alright?" Is a good album name!" I said excitedly.

Wilbur smacked his hand repeatedly on my table. It kind of startled me.

"YES! Yes yes! I love it, I like "Shes always asking "Am I Alright?" And I love the album name." He took out his guitar, thought for a bit and played a riff, it was quite simple but with added instruments it would all fit together.

"That's amazing! Okay so for the next part how about a rhyme, so what about something something, 'I'll find the answer or a good night'. Since you said you would pretend to sleep when she asked you." I said.

"OH! 'As if auspicious or in my pint, I'll find the answer or a good night." He said.

I quickly wrote it down, we were making progress! The song was coming out great, though we only had a small riff and 3 lines of lyrics.

"Okay so you and I can worry about lyrics, once we have those I'll come up with the song itself with the rest of the band. I wouldn't want to overwork you." Wilbur said.

"Alright that fine with me! So so far we have 'She's always asking, "Am I alright?" As if auspicious or in my pint I'll find the answer or a good night.' Okay, so let's brainstorm some more, what else about the relationship was an issue?" I said happily.
