Heal My Harmony

Performing the Past.

Blue shuddered as she looked at her phone. Her mother, as dear as she could be, had sent her a video of her first performance. It wasn't bad, she'll admit, but she couldn't get through it without locking down. A knock from the door brought her back to reality. She put her phone down and rubbed her face.

"Yes?" The door opened to Ruby and Blake. Concern washed over Ruby's face when he saw the senior.

"Are you ok?" Blake asked quietly. "We heard sniffling." She smiled slightly at them.

"Yeah... just getting some nostalgic from my mom. But I'm fine." Ruby went over and placed a hand on her shoulder while sitting beside her. Blake closed the door behind him and went over.

"Are you sure?" She hummed lightly before a tear raced down her cheek. Ruby brought her into a hug while Blake rubbed her back. "It's ok..." She gulped shakily as she cracked. After a few moments, she was able to pull away.

"Thanks Ruby... Blake..." Ruby smiled at the senior.

"What did your mom do?" Blue gulped as she picked up the phone and showed them the performance.

"My first performance... She knows how much I dread listening to the smaller form of me." Ruby smiled at her.

"You don't look like you changed much from back then." She frowned at him.

"Was that an insult?"

"No, that's a compliment because you're a beautiful senior, even back then." She paused before playfully pushing him.

"Such a flirt..." Blake frowned.

"But isn't that me?" The two older waves giggled at that. He smiled as he saw his goal in that. "But what's so bad about listening to your younger self?" Blue sighed.

"I've grown from that girl before. I sounded like a lower class person back then. She knows that. I hate listening to something I've excelled from." Blake hummed at that.

"Maybe she's trying to show how much you've improved. After all, listening to the past shows what you were before and you know how much you've improved." Blue gazed at him.

"Yes, but with the video it says 'remember how great you sounded back then?'" Ruby gulped.

"Now that's just cold." Blue nodded as Blake looked at the video.

"You know what you can do?" Blue hummed at him. "I did this with my own dad, but you can send her a video of you redoing it and put 'And hear how much better I am.'" The older two waves grabbed their mouths, trying to not bust out laughing at his words.

"What did your dad say to you?" Blake blinked at her words.

"That's classified. Why are you asking?" Blue shook her head.

"I'm just pointing out the sass you just put down." Ruby couldn't hold back the laughter after Blake tried to make a comeback. Whatever he was going to say died off as he closed his mouth. After a moment when Ruby could breathe, Blue sighed. "I could do that if I had the right instruments..." Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"The entire group plays an instrument, Blue. I'm sure we can get the right instruments." Blue frowned.

"Silver doesn't play." Ruby scoffed.

"Don't let him fool you. He can, he just refuses to acknowledge it publicly. I bet you rubbed off on him." Blue sighed.

"Probably. Let me find the music and then we'll see if we do. No promises."

The two boys nodded before going out to where the others were. Blue paused before going over to her desk. She opened a draw to several folders and shuffled through them until she found the piece. It wasn't a hard piece, but her mom didn't entirely trust her so she got several other players from the kingdom to join her. It sounded great and powerful, but most of the power was the other players in the group. She hoped that the others would be able to grasp it easily. She took the folder with the extras and went downstairs where the others were waiting. They were in several little conversations. Ruby and Silver were collided for some reason, while Platinum was beside it. Platinum kept slapping the arguing duo. Blake and Y were talking about something to the side. Forest and Cream were eyeing the others while looking over a paper. She sighed as she went over to them.
