Hello Puppets AU: The show goes on

Let me hear your voice Pt. 3

When Amra turned around she realized that Nick was there. She quickly stopped as she stared at the puppet with her face turning red from embarrassment. She then covers her mouth with one hand like she had said something wrong and covered her eyes with the other. "I'm so sorry" Amra apologized to Nick with her hands still covering her face. 'Holy shit she spoke!' both Olivia and Nick thought the same thing as they heard her muffled voice.

Nick went closer to her and asks why she had to apologize. "Why'd you have to apologize? you didn't do anything wrong". She then took her hands off of her face and starts explain "Well, I apologized cause I know I my voice sounds very awful and I thought that I was making you uncomfortable." Nick gasped out of shock like his dramatic self when he heard that answer from Amra. He held her hand and which made Amra went down to look at Nick at eye level.

"No! No! I wasn't uncomfortable at all and also, Your voice is far from horrible!" Nick told the girl as she looked at him and asked him if he was sure. "Yes, I can assure you that your singing voice is beautiful." The artist complimented the girl as the girl asks him why he thought of that. "Thank you, but How?" Amra asks as Nick widened his eyes a little when her talking voice changed a little. "From what I've heard there I could say that your voice is pretty soft and melodious." Nick responded

"Oh wow, One of my old classmates used to say that. She caught me singing quietly and she complimented me but I didn't know if she was being truthful or not. But I took the compliment anyway." she Told Nick. "Ah I see. Now Amra, what about your talking one? were you also insecure of that too?" He questioned the girl. 

"Hm.. not exactly but somebody pointed out that sometimes my voice sounded feminine at times and sometimes a little more masculine than normal I could say.. and I found that strange so I don't really like it." she answered his question while Nick thinks its pretty cool.

"How did your insecurity started? it's ok if you don't want to talk about.." Nick asks another question to Amra.

"well, it started.. hmm.. I don't exactly remember when but basically I heard a recording my my voice on my phone and I thought it sounded horrible." she told Nick in a sad tone.

"That's a pretty common reason I've heard. But let me tell you that the recording isn't what you really sound like. It's a little distorted so that's why it sounds.. bad" Nick shortly explains to Amra. When Amra had already understood, she felt a little better about her insecurity. 

"Do you like anything about your voice? If so, tell me. It might make yourself feel better." He said as Amra decides to tell him. "Well it was a funny story. One time when I was in my old school, my classmates decided to go up behind the gym which is also the auditorium." 

"So it was the backstage." Nick assumed.

"Yes, but the thing is, is that it was abandoned." Amra answered as she continued the story.

"Now we went to the back entrance of the backstage since the original entrance was locked. The back entrance was in a room which we weren't allowed in there but we got in because the door was broken down. When we got in, there was the door to the backstage and stairs going down somewhere. The room was also echoey too, so I-" Amra then giggled a little interrupting her own story.

"I decided to sing in there quietly as I could but one of my classmates were startled and we all ran out of the room and that one classmate said that they heard a ghost" Amra then Started to laugh a making the puppet laugh too. "It wasn't even on purpose but I felt a little bad for them" Amra chuckled.

"That's.. quite impressive" he said as the girl slowly stopped laughing. "Thanks Nick" She thanked him as she heard a noise coming from the closet. The closet opened and Olivia came out. Amra then looked at her. "You too!?" Amra exclaimed. "Sorry, I also think your voice is pretty please don't be mad at me!" she apologized and Amra forgave her. 

"Amra, would you like to try to speak to the others in the studio? If someone makes you feel uncomfortable or picks on you about it, just leave it to me.." Nick asks as he assures her that he'll defend her if something is wrong. "Hmm.. I'll try, I mean, my friends are good so I could do it" Amra said to Nick.

"That's very nice, dear. Again, I'm going to say this. Your talking voice is great meanwhile your singing voice is beautiful." Nick recapped everything he thought to the Amra "Actually about that, you should sing more and a little louder. We could also maybe sing a little duet if you want to since you mentioned that you like to sing" The artist encourages her. "Hm.. Alright, Nick."

"He's right about that! I can't even sing at all" Olivia told Amra as Olivia added "And that compliment is from someone who is in charge of music in the group. That means it's really good" "I guess you're right about that" Amra said as she noticed her father and her aunt waiting in front of the exit. Nick and Olivia also noticed it and Nick told her it was best to go home and come back tomorrow. "Are you sure Nick? Because-" Nick interrupted the girl "Yes, yes. I'm, sure you're good to go. I'll let Olivia help instead. Plus, there's not much to do"

"Ok, if you say so" Amra then walked out but before she left the set up she called their names. both Nick Nack and Olivia turned around. "Thank you for helping me" She thanked them before leaving. 

while she was walking her sister ran to keep up with her. "Hey, How was it?" Adri started as the girl answered. "It was good, were you part of this too?" "Uhh.. yeahhhh if you were  talking about the Nick situation,  then yeah" Adri responded as she noticed that her sister was now talking in the studio.

"Hey, you're talking in the studio now, that's great" Joseph said "Yeah, I was kinda embarrassed at first but Nick helped me with it" "I knew it. He's good at those things" Her dad knew. Then the family left the studio while Nick was happy that he got what he wanted and he helped out a helper of his.
