I really have nothing to say…

I have the Mario music stuck in my head

Michelle's POV

It was now July 16 2020. For most just a regular day, to others a birthday, to Michelle… well seven years back the release of her biggest hit song. Meaning seven years ago she wrote her favorite song Replay. It meant alot to her back then but now she gave up on music, acting and dancing. It's a shame she did though, she was incredibly talented, not to say she isn't now. But over time she just fell out of it, who knows what her future could've been if she hadn't.

"Come on loser, we'll work on it at my place," Michelle shoved her books in her bag, referring to the science project they have been conveniently paired together for.

"Um, ok," Peter's awkwardness was showing. She threw her note tote over her shoulder and began walking out the crowded doors with Peter following behind. "Wait, you- you mean right now?" Michelle stepped down the stairs skipping every second step. "Yes, when else?" Peter scurried behind her. "Oh, well, ok," 

They got to Michelle's house as she scrambled to get the keys from her pocket. Once she got them out she jammed them in the knob twisting and turning till she swung the door open, which had startled her sister on the couch. Michelle threw the keys into the little key holder on the side table. 

"Peter, Kc. Kc, Peter" she said gesturing between the two of them. "Hi, I'm Kc, Mj's sister! Our family likes to use acronyms," Peter chuckled at that, she was nothing like Michelle. "Hi, i'm- i'm Peter, Michelle's friend," he held out his hand, waiting for her to take it. There was a slight yell heard from the room he assumes is Mj's. "How many times have I told you to call me Mj, loser!" Her sister snorts, taking his hand. "Some friend she is," Peter shook her hand, griping his backpack tighter as he heard the words, 'I heard that!' from across the house. They both laughed a little bit then Kc's attention went back to the TV. 

"What'cha watching?" Peter had a solid idea as he watched for a while but he wanted to seem polite. " Dancing with the stars," just then Michelle's head popped out from the corner, she'd been trying to clean her room as much as possible.

" Turn it off." 

"Why?"

"You know why now turn it off"

The bickering between the two sisters was usual but it made Peter uncomfortable. Michelle sighed as she picked up the remote on the coffee table and shut off the TV. The siblings glared at each other for a moment before one had brought something unexpected up.

"Do you know what day it is?" 

"Tuesday," she deadpanned.

"Tuesday, July 16th" Michelle still had a questioning look on her face.

"And?" Peter slowly stepped back as he could sense something about to happen.

"Michelle it's been seven years," 

"Since?"

"Replay,"

Michelle's eyes widened as she stepped back a bit. " Whatever, I don't care. come-on Peter, let's work on this stupid project." She dropped the remote on the couch while her sister sighed. "It's a shame!" She shouted before Mj had shut her door. 

About 20 minutes into the project Michelle had all her attention on the paper in front of her, but Peter on the hand was still thinking of what Replay could be. "Peter!" Peter jumped back a bit and stammered out a few sounds. "Are you even listening?" She looked stern and scary, Peter would be a dead man if he brought it up now. "What's- what's Replay?"

Peters a dead man.

Michelle sighed and leaned back a bit. "It's nothing important," Peter was surprised she didn't kick him out, but he didn't stop. "it seems to be bothering you though?" He gave her a soft glance. "Don't push it Parker," and with that he decided it was best to leave it alone until further notice. 

*Knock knock*

"Come in!" Her voice laced with annoyance. "Do you have any batteries? My speaker ran out," Michelle pointed to the nightstand to her right as she slightly bounced on the bed, eyes laser focused on the project at hand. "Kk, thanks," KC walked out the room leaving the speaker on the stand. 

A few minutes have passed as both were working on the science project in front of them. "Yeah and then it would-" Peter was cut off by music blaring from the speaker. His hands immediately went to his ears as it was so loud his senses were going crazy. Michelle knew the toon and every next word that was coming next, it was Replay on acoustic. And she couldn't stop it.

Michelle Jones didn't know how to work a speaker.

She tried smacking and everything till she just gave up. Peter slowly took his hands off his ears as they stopped ringing and instead was soothed by the  voice that was now bouncing off the walls. He closed his eyes softly and swayed to the music. He felt tingles go down his spine as she hit different notes, her voice calmed him almost straight away. His breathing was calmer, his heart was calmer, every worry he had just washed away. 

He opened his eyes to find Mj leaning against the headboard, her lips moving slightly with the words of the song. He  never saw Michelle like this, though, the song made him feel differently so maybe it worked on her too. 

Soon MJ's sister walked into the room. "Told ya it was a shame," Michelle grunted and picked up her glass of water. Just as KC was about to leave the room Peter had stopped her. "Wait- um, what- what was that song called and who was it bye? The- their voice is so calming, it's amazing!" Michelle blushed at this comment along with her choking on her water. " You wanna know?" She asked, ignoring Michelle not being able to drink properly. Peter nodded quickly like a little child. 

"Replay by Michelle Jones," 

This made Mj choke more as Peter just looked at her then back at her sister, wide eyed. "Wha- really?!" He was completely stunned and completely ignoring the fact that Mj was practically dying.

"Yep," she answered as she walked out the door nonchalantly. It was only then that Peter realized that Michelle was choking. His eyes widened more as he tried to calm her down, patting her back she finally stopped and took another reassuring sip from her glass.

"Was- was that really you!? Because that was amazing I didn't even know you played an instrument let alone sing! Your voice is incredible Mj, you're insanely talented! Why didn't you ever tell me and Ned-" his rambling was cut short when Michelle spoke up. " It's- it's just not what I want to do anymore, sure I was talented and stuff but I don't want to be some sort of popstar, that was when I was younger. I don't have interest in music, dance or acting anymore," 

"You mean- you did acting and dance as well!" Peter's eyes sparkled, he thought she was perfect before! " Look Peter can we just change the subject, please?" She gave a tight lipped smile. Peter looked at her in a loving way. "No wonder I fell for you," he whispered under his breath. "Pardon?" He smiled, "nothing!" 

Little did he know Michelle heard him.

" But we're talking about all this later!" He grabbed his pencil as Michelle rolled her eyes.
