Music of the Hidden

Riddling Stance.

Red hummed before someone pounded at the door. Espeon was resting on his legs, not feeling well from yesterday's training. So she trapped him on the couch. He called out.

"It's open!" The door opened as Yellow, Green and Blue entered. They then chuckled at his problem.

"Oh dear." Yellow knelt down and petted the Psychic type's head. Red smiled.

"She has been there since this morning. I can't tell what it is exactly." They smiled before Yellow gently healed Espeon. Blue hummed.

"Here. This was on the front porch. I guess you haven't checked since Espeon got comfy." Red smiled as he took the package.

"Thanks." He opened it before smiling. "Oh, sweet. The music arrived." Yellow had picked up Espeon, so he could sit up. Green paused.

"What music?" He paused before pulling out and placed a few papers down. 5 pieces of music.

"Let's see... I need a Violin, Bassoon..." He frowned. "Piccolo. Damn. Uh- Then I'm singing here and I end back on Violin." He paused before picking up the Piccolo music. "I hope she knows I lack a little on Piccolo. I hated it back then, I still hate it." Blue paused.

"What's it for?"

"Concert next week. My relatives from all over the world will no doubt be traveling to the house down in Willowriver Valley to practice before the big night wherever we'll be." He scanned the Bassoon piece before pausing. "And that's why- oh, I know this piece. I played Clarinet on it. Beautiful piece."

"Red, you're squinting to read it."

"I am not..." He rubbed his face as he frowned. "The print on these are just small."

"Red, you really need to get your eyes checked. You're always squinting to read stuff and now I'm getting annoyed." He shrugged before his eyes shifted to two different colors.

"I don't need any help with reading."

"I would hate to be your sibling." He frowned before pausing.

"Damn. I'll need to find another way for the concert if I'm doing this damn Piccolo. I'm having trouble reading this without the aimer sight. Did they do it on purpose?" Yellow chuckled before placing Espeon on his lap.

"Well, the hospital's open whenever you need a check up. Could use one with your sight." He paused as she went to the door. "Have fun. I'll see you later. Gotta go to my shift." After she left, Red paused.

"She not only insulted my vision but she trapped me." The other two chuckled as he glanced down at his Eeveelution. "Are you feeling better? Or did she just make you comfortable?" Espeon twitched a little, as if indicating that he was being loud before he sighed. "That's cold." Blue sighed.

"Well... good luck. Give us details on the concert when you get them." He nodded as they went out.

Red did manage to stop by the hospital, getting Yellow to heal Espeon. He also talked to Shyly about the music, which got her chuckling.

"You don't play Piccolo." He scoffed as Yellow helped Espeon up.

"Yeah, but unless I can get someone to swap with me in 4 days, what say do I have?" She hummed.

"Mine was Viola."

"Ew. Not any better. I can't figure out the tuning and all that." She chuckled.

"Imma see if Shorty will switch with me. She got Clarinet and hates it. Then we can trade from there." He nodded before squinting.

"Did the composer make the text small on purpose?" She paused before chuckling.

"Oh by Mother's gaze-" He blinked as she hid her face in her papers. "You are blinder than a Zubat!" He hissed.
