Astrid couldn't help but hug Nini as soon as she saw her. She was beyond excited to collaborate with the girl. She had an amazing voice that her fans would love and that Austin's fans would love too. She knew her boyfriend would support the duet so much his fans would be sick of it. Especially because after Christmas Break he was an official artist of Amaro Records, her parents recording company that had taken over Syco Records. The deal was being worked long before the two got together and she was actually working with them to sign onto the label herself, but it wasn't up to her anymore. She had a management that wanted to sign with Sony Music.

Nini eagerly hugged the girl back but for different reasons. Sure she was excited about the song but she was mostly excited about the fact that she'd get an inside view into Gina's life now. She couldn't wait to talk to Astrid about Gina.

"Okay so I was thinking we do this song"

Nini handed Astrid the sheet music and lyrics before standing up and grabbing her cup of coffee from a table in the room. They were in Nini's basement which was set up like half of a music room and half a game room. Her moms had sound proofed the basement long ago which made it ideal for them to shoot this song.

Nini watched as Astrid's eyes scanned the paper in awe. She loved the song and quickly got up to grab a pen and paper, mumbling lyrics here and there and repeating the melody through her hums.

Astrid was a talented singer sure. But she definitely had a way with words and she was proving that by moving quickly with the new verse of the song Nini had originally wrote.

"Okay so how does this sound?"

Astrid took a good look at both sheets before singing a rough version to Nini. Who absolutely loved it.

She felt that the whole experience was zooming by when in fact Astrid took three hours just to fully finish her verse and set up the video camera. Nini quickly got her keyboard and got ready to play the song, the melody stayed the same for the most part and she quickly adjusted to it and was ready to play while they both sang.

Astrid hooked up the microphones that Nini had and set them near them but out of the view of the camera. The room was quiet enough to hear everything but she wanted the camera to get the perfect audio quality so she used the microphones.

"Ready?" Astrid asked with a big smile on her face.

"As I'll ever be"

Nini sighed ready to follow through with part of Vanna's plan. What Astrid had failed to notice this whole time was Nini's sweater. The same sweater she had seen on Gina countless times during their face time calls, granted Nini's hair was covering one important detail. Gina's last name.

Astrid turned the camera on and sat down next to Nini but not too close.

"Hey guys it's your girl Astrid back at it again with another video! Today we have a special guest" She made a gesture towards Nini.

"Hi I'm Nini!"

"If you don't know who she is follow her at @/ninisalrob across all major platforms and follow moi at @/astridsamaros again across all major platforms"

Nini shook her head as the girl was talking. Some part of her still couldn't believe that Gina did this a lot with Astrid. Just sit and look at a video camera and then put whatever they did in front of it out to the world.

"Today we're going to be singing a very special song that my good old friend Nini wrote. And I wrote my verse"

Nini smiled.

"So without further ado we give you Let Me Down Slowly an original song by Nini Salazar-Roberts and Astrid Amaro"

Astrid looked towards Nini and when they locked eyes Astrid gave her a comforting smile. Nini took that as a sign to start playing the songs music.
