Nigel got back on the stage with Patrick and started tuning his guitar.

"Nigel... what are you doing?" said Patrick.

"We're gonna give Preston and his beady-eyed buddy a performance they'll never forget" said Nigel toughly.

"Nigel, you and Edward Preston have been rivals since high school" said Patrick.

"And I'll finally give him the final showdown. Thank heavens we've memorized this song" said Nigel.

Edward and Frank got onto the stage with them and looked them in the eye once again.

"Edward, I don't know why we're even.." Frank began.

"Shut your gob, Wetherley!" Edward snapped.

"Okay" said Frank weakly. 

Edward leaned over Nigel's sheet music stand and said "Now just try and impress me."

Nigel sneered at his old rival and started playing and singing with Patrick.

Trees swaying in the summer breeze

Showing off their silver leaves as we walk by

Soft kisses on a summer's day

Laughing all our cares away, just you and I 

Sweet, sleepy warmth of summer nights

Gazing at the distant lights in the starry sky

They say that all good things must end someday

Autumn leaves must fall

But don't you know that it hurts me so

To say goodbye to you

Wish you didn't have to go, no no no no

And when the rain beats against my windowpane

I'll think of summer days again and dream of you 

They say that all good things must end someday

Autumn leaves must fall

But don't you know that it hurts me so

To say goodbye to you

Wish you didn't have to go, no no no no

And when the rain beats against my windowpane

I'll think of summer days again and dream of you

And dream of you

The whole hotel went wild for the performance.

Frank wanted to applaud with them, but Edward smacked his hands to stop him.

"Well, Preston? What do you think?" said Nigel with sass.

"That was pretty good. Only one thing. You played a C chord when it was supposed to be G minor!" said Edward.

"What?" said Nigel.

"He wouldn't!" said Patrick.

"Jazzy performing youngsters? I don't think so. You lose!" Edward cackled.
