"Hey sweetheart how was your day?" Meredith asked her youngest when she went to pick her up from preschool.
Before she could answer Ruby and Grace were already tripping over themselves to say hi to their former teacher.
Ellen quickly joined them.
Just when Meredith was about to call them, another mother came to her.
"Hello, my name is Cheryl I'm Julia's mom." she said.
"Oh yeah I've seen you around here in the morning when I came to drop Ellen off."
"I got here a little earlier today and I noticed your little girl has a really sweet voice."
"You haven't heard her doing impressions; that will be a problem when's she's older."
"Does she have any extracurricular activities?"
"Besides swimming lessons on Saturday mornings, nothing. Why do you ask?"
"So, here's the thing: I'm a vocal coach and I think she's got huge potential. I'd be happy to help her once a week for an hour."
"Wow; I knew she could do some funny things with her voice but I didn't know she had talent."
"She's very likely to put a lot of singers out of business; the choice is up to you."
"I'll talk to my husband about it and then I'll get back to you."
She talked to Derek about while doing the dishes.
"She has potential?" Derek asked.
"As it turns out she does."
"I thought she was good with impressions but I never thought anything more would come out of her vocal cords."
"I thought so too."
"Well I guess it wouldn't do her any harm."
"If she decides to become a singer she could buy us a nice place in Hollywood when were old."
"I thought you wanted all of our kids to become surgeons."
"We have 3 kids, 2 out of 3 going to medical school wouldn't be so bad."
"So is that a yes?"
They heard Ellen voice from the living room:
"I'm not gonna write you a love song;
Cause you ask for it
Cause you need one
You see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song;
Cause you tell me it's
Make a break
In this
If you are on your way"
"I guess that's a yes."
The next week they picked her up from her first lesson around 7:00 that Friday.
"How did she do?" Derek asked scared that she might have misbehave
"She's a dream. She learns fast, she listens, she repeats, she behaves really well... would you like to trade kids and take my Julia? Cheryl told him.
"When do I get to come back? Ellen asked.
"I be seeing you again next week hun. Don't forget to practice now and then."
"Yes Mrs. Peterson."
They left to the car where Meredith and the twins where waiting for them.
"Did you like it Ellie?"
"Yeah."
"What did you do?"
"I sang."
"What did you sang?" Ruby asked.
"One of the songs was called Rhiannon." she said happily.
"What else?" Grace cut in.
"The other song is my homework; I have to sing it once in awhile."
"What was the name of that song?" Meredith asked.
"Over the rainbow."
"Do you want to sing it?" Ruby started to get a little curious.
"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that
I've dreamed of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over
The rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that
You dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon
A star and wake up where
The clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt
Like lemon drops away
Above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond rainbow
Why oh why can't I?"
