After Troy left us, we went to our respective bedrooms. Naturally, I would share a bedroom with my sister: Clara. There was a bed on each side.
"Which side do you want, Clara?", I asked.
Clara did not speak; instead, she went to the bed on the right side of the room, and she laid there.
"Alright, I'll take the bed on the left side of the room", I muttered.
I set my belongings. After I did it, I looked at my 15-year-old sister, and she was already sleeping.
"Oh, Clara", I muttered.
"Your sister is tired", Godmother Petra spoke behind me suddenly.
"It was a long journey", I replied.
"We will let her sleep. In the meantime, I can show you all features around the mansion."
"Are you taking Raymond with us?", I asked.
"No, he is giving himself a tour already", Godmother Petra answered.
She took me around the mansion until she led me to a karaoke machine.
"How can I use it?", I asked.
Godmother Petra showed me how to operate the karaoke machine.
"Thanks", I said.
"Sure!", she exclaimed. "I'll check the others."
Godmother Petra left me while I started to sing. I chose my favourite love song, and it reminded me about Raymond. I blushed because I was thinking about him while I was singing that song. My face became redder when I realized Raymond was watching me from afar.
"I did not know you had an angelic voice", Raymond commented.
I chuckled.
"No, it was a legitimate comment", he insisted. "It was not sarcasm."
Raymond approached me.
"I assume Godmother Petra taught you how to operate it", he said.
I showed him how Godmother Petra taught me. Raymond and I came across Duet Competition Mode, so our friendly childhood rivalry reignited within us. The last song we sang for our "competition" was a romantic song. I won.
"I told you: you have an angelic voice", Raymond said. "You cannot defeat me in Mortal Smash of Justice Street, but you defeated me in Karaoke, and I was not easy on you."
