Rey was in the garden in her roof where she grew some of her flowers , softly singing along to her iPhone .

"Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes
You have your mother's name" Rey sang softly as she was trimming some bushes on her rooftop garden .

"When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I'm dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart" she smiled and walked to her rose garden and began to pull the nasty weeds that lingered from a week with or not tending to her garden.

"You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday" Rey finished off Burr's versus then walked to fill her watering can with fresh water .

"You said you couldn't sing"

"OH GOD !" Rey screamed and her watering can fell to the floor , water spilling and her earbuds dangling from her phone .

"Sorry... I didn't mind to scare you" Ben said with a smile.

"It's alright... But ... Jesus what's up with you coming to my shop and such weird times ?" Rey asked picking up her watering can and bringing back to the hose.

"That was Dear Theodosia from Hamilton ?" He asked.

"Yeah" Rey rubbed her neck "how did you know that?"

"My mom listens to it whenever we're in the car " he told her .

"Oh... That's nice ... Can I help you?"

"Yes ... Two things ... One your voice is good ... You should sing with us ... And two do you have a Lilly here that I could use as reference for a free hand tattoo ?"

"One , no I don't really like singing in public and two yes I do" she had him follow her down to the store .

She handed him the Lilly and he brought it to his nose , taking a long sniff . "Thanks Rey"

"No problem" she smiled .

"Here" he handed her a little slip of paper .

Rey smiled and watched him walk out then read the paper .

Open Mic-Night at Ashoka's
8:30 - 12:00
Friday

Today was Friday... She guessed that he was inviting her to come see him and his nameless band play their music.

She didn't have anything better to do and plus she hadn't had a day off in almost three weeks so what's one night of a little music and food gonna do ? End all the growth of the flowers around the world ?

She smiled and tucked the paper in her pocket before going back answer the phone that was now ringing .

Rey decided in looking casual, a jean jacket and jeans that were cuffed and pair of sandals . She wore a soft blue flowy tank top to match and added a little eyeliner for good measure .

She payed her ticket and walked in to see two empty tables but the rest were packed to the brim , all near the front .

Rey took a seat and then a waiter came to get her drink "club soda with like please"

Rey was not a heavy drinker ... Hell she rarely ever drank alcohol in her life unless it was for a toast for a wedding or maybe a special event .

One band came on and began to play and she smiled , nodding to the music that this band was playing .

About two minutes later she saw the familiar black curled hair . "Rey ... You came" Ben smiled .

"Yeah ... I did"

"Hey... I know you don't sing and all but I really could use some help ... You see Gwen , my cousin who's the only girl in our band is like dying , at least her voice is because her boyfriend took her to a basketball game last night... And all you have to do is sing the high girly parts ... Could you help me out?"

"I sing know Ben " she rubbed her arm.

"Please ... Rey we have like fans ... And they'll be pissed -"

"You have fans and not even a band name ?" Rey asked .

"For now were listed as unlisted "

"That's a cool name -"

"Please Rey?" Ben begged .

"Um... Well ... Okay" she sighed and he grabbed her hand and tugged her backstage .
