Aurora drags me in a semi familiar direction, we pass by many doors and eventually I finally realize where she's dragged me.

We walk into the practice room, seemingly empty but my strong sense of smell doesn't fool me. Copia is here too and another familiar smell.

I look over to the glass wall and that's where Copia is... With Swiss.

Aurora giggles quietly to herself as she's noticed them being here too. She runs off toward the equipment.

I turn and follow Aurora to see why she's dragged me here, but before I do I notice Swiss look up from talking to Copia. He stops what he's saying, his ears perking a little. My hairs standing up on end as we lock eyes.

I look away fastly and run toward Aurora.

"Did you know they'd be in here?" I whisper to her.

She looks over to me, a smile present on her face, "I knew Copia would be in here, however I didn't know Swiss would he in here." She pauses, tail flickering, "Though he'll make this way more interesting." She smirks at me in a devious way.

I lean down and narrow my silver eyes onto her, "And what do you mean by that?" My tail swishes in slight irritation.

Irritation only because of the weird feelings that are back and she knows what they are, but won't tell me. I've really gotta ask someone else what this shit means.

"We're gonna do some practicing since touring starts in a few months. I'm sure since you're a Magic elemental, you'll be able to learn any instrument fast." She smiles up at me genuinely, her ears perking up.

Looking over toward the instruments, I tilt my head. "Which one am I supposed to learn?"

I nearly jump out of my skin when Copia answers the question I asked Aurora.

"Your element is close to that of a Multi, but definitely of higher range than a Multi." Copia says, pausing as me and Aurora turn our heads toward him. "Ehh, try bass first. I want you to do backing vocals and an instrument while on stage."

I nod my head and go grab a spare bass guitar where Aurora told me it'd be. It's forest green and silver, as I pick it up something shifts inside of me. My ears perk up and I feel my eyes sparkling with excitement.

Walking back to Aurora and Copia, I don't notice the small smile on Swiss's face as he watches from in the recording room.

"Wanna pick the song?" Aurora asks me as she adjusts to mics, one to her hight and one to mine.

I throw the strap of the guitar on my shoulder as I watch Copia plug it in, "Uhhh sure. How about The Horror Of Our Love by Ludo?"

"Perfect!, Swiss can you look for that and press play when Copia says so?" Aurora yells so Swiss can here from in the recording room. I look over as he throws a thumbs up toward us.

Copia is looking through the music notes, presumably looking for the notes to the song. He places it front of me on a stand once he's found it, I watch as he turns to Swiss's direction and throws a thumbs up.

Copia slips a guitar pick into my hand before he makes his way back to the recording room.

I look at the notes, trying to get a feel for them as I hold onto the guitar. My eyes light up with my aura, helping me obsorb the info on the page, my hands also glowing as they hold onto the instrument.

I shake my head and sigh, hoping I got it all down.

The beginning notes of the song start, and I begin thrumming the guitar. My clawed fingers holding onto the pick just right.
