Hanging with the Girls

Sonic was glad he brought his electric guitar to teach Amy how to play it. They were both in Amy's room alone.

"Okay Amy, first you place four of your fingers on top of the end of the neck of the guitar, and when you play the strings below, move the fingers like this" Sonic showed her, touches the strings while holding at the guitar's neck.

He holds his long and ring-finger in to play a tune and folds them for another one. And after a couple of examples, he played a tune after Hardrock Halleluja. Amy watched how he does that and memorizes it in her head.

"Can I try too?" Amy asked.

"Sure Amy" Sonic handed the guitar to her.

Amy then tried to play on the guitar but didn't do well on it, "Uh, am I doing it right?" she asked him.

"Place the fingers on right place" Sonic said.

Amy did as she was told and played again, this time from a song in Monster High from the strings.

Nebula was playing the regular piano with Shadow. Ever since she learned to play the piano she really enjoyed it and she was becoming like Amy Lee, the singer from Evanescence.

She began playing a beautiful tone on the piano by first pressing the first keyboards on the piano to the right and on the middle.

She keeps playing on the middle and right keys on the piano and Shadow hears she's playing a magical and kinda sad tune on the piano. She then played a little on the left side of the piano and more on the right side on the black and white keys. The last part she held the keys in for a longer tune and just a few clicks on them.

Shadow then sits at the right side of the piano and Nebula scooted to the left side. He then began playing 7 tunes on the right while Nebula played 6 tunes on the left. Shadow played with both hands and played 7 tunes again. Nebula played on the left again in same tone, only with two hands this time. Shadow then played at a faster rate on the right until Nebula played again after 10 seconds, they both played at the same time in matching tones. Shadow looked at Nebula and she looked back smiling.

"Wow, you're very good at this" Shadow said.

"Oh, thanks Shadow" Nebula giggled.

Blaze was learning to play drums with Silver and she was having trouble how to play it right.

"Okay Blaze, start with 4 beats on the ride cymbal" Silver said to her. Blaze nods and steps on the lever to the ride cymbal 4 times.

"Alright, next?" Blaze asked.

"Hit it many times until I give stop sign" Silver said, Blaze did this about 10 times and Silver makes the stop after she made that.

"Try the bass drum and the tom-tom drum along with the snare drum" Silver said. Blaze steps on the lever to the bass-drum and hits the tom-tom drum with the snare drum a few times.

Blaze then hits the splash cymbal and the snare-drum a few times as if she was gonna play Back in Black and then hits the ride cymbal.

"Good Blaze, you hit the ride cymbal without me telling you" Silver said.

"Wow, this seems a little easy" Blaze said.

"Yup. We have a five minute break" Silver said. Blaze got up from the stool and sits next to Silver on her bed.

"So, have you always liked rock music?" Silver asked Blaze.

"Not always, I loved classic music" Blaze said.
