* "My big break... Oh what a rush it was indeed... Seeing all those eager, masked faces... It was absolutely amazing! Though... Quite frightening at the same time... My insides churned- Sweat just poured down my face- but that didn't stop me. Not one bit... *

Young Ruth would be standing solo on a spotlighted platform... Her eyes darted in everwhich direction, and palms- Sweatier than. They ever had been before in her life... Her hands would shake as she reached out for the microphone. When she finally had a grasp on it- she almost fell over... Ruth had never been so afraid in her life... A third spotlight would then shine over her... Making her even more noticeable to those below...

Ruth pulled the microphone closer to her face... Her mouth not even wanting to open even the slightest... She squeezed her eyes tight- Hoping that everyone would stop staring at her...

Ruth opened her eyes- They still were watching... Ruth was getting more and more anxious by a minute.. Until...

Until she saw Skully far off in the distance... Standing there, while keeping a cherry smile on their face... They would Glace directly into Ruth's eyes- Just as Ruth did to them...

Ruth then felt a sudden burst of courage from Skully's simple act... She would then grab a firm hold on the microphone- open her mouth- and would just... Sing...

She sung from the heart, she did... Her voice so soft, and sweet- A voice of a graceful angel, that could put you to sleep in a second... Followed by a harmonic tune to add emphasis onto her performance...

* "Before I knee it... I was finished... I'll never forget that moment too... The moment which ai had went from Forte to piano in an instant... The room had went completely silent... My eyes had been closed for the whole song... Though, when I had opened them... It was like seeing the world for the first time again... I saw everything clear as day... The cheering, the whistling... The crowd adored me... People, actually liked me, and my music..." *

Young Ruth then paused for a moment as the crowd applaud and cheered... Her Grasp of the microphone weakened- Until she finally let go... She held her arms off to each of her sides... The crowd had yet to died down- Though that didn't stop Ruth from running off the stage, and out of the Tavern...
