Green took a gentle breath as he looked over the score. This was the first time he had focused on a piece, but he was looking for a certain set. His eyes slipped a quick glance at his instruments that were in a small wagon ready to go before he looked over the score once more. From what Gold had said, it was going to hopefully be a group performance followed by a solo from Blue then a leading duet from him and Blue with the others supporting. He had quietly prayed that what he brought regained that. He took one finally deep breath before gently placing the score in a folder and placing it in the wagon. He made sure everything was secure before draping a cloth over it. He then carefully grabbed the handle and headed off.

He was quiet as he set up behind the stage. He had already set up the rest of his hopefully successful attempt to regain Green's attention. He had already gone through a few meltdowns and panic attacks, but he was sure he was ready thanks to Gold and the other Flames helping him out. He had also been helped by Silver, who had helped him not only by getting him a calmer and willing Blue, but he also helped him musically and mentally. He was surprised when the junior had offered, but it was the last thing on his mind. He gulped as he looked at his phone. 10 minutes before she showed up.

Blue sighed as she arrived at the stage. What did Green want to show her at this time? It wasn't that late, but she had a lot of work to do. She sighed before heading towards the back. A gentle tune slowly filled the air, grabbing her attention. She went over and stopped at the scene before her.

Green was standing there with a pochette-like instrument as the sound slowly ended. He looked so relaxed as he looked at the stand that held the music. She had to recollect her composure before she finally applauded him. He immediately whipped around with a face of panic before hiding the instrument. She quickly went over and was in front of him with a smile.

"Why didn't you say you had an instrument and could play?" His face had gotten really pale as he opened his mouth.

"W-w-w-well... y-you see......" He gulped down his nervousness before speaking again. "I wasn't ready to show that part of me to the world... it was scary..."

"But you sound amazing!"

"I'm..." He gulped again. "Still recovering..." She looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Don't ask..." She purred before smiling.

"Well... you sounded great! Don't hide that!" She then paused. "Was the reason you showed that because you wanted a second shot?" Green nodded as he pulled the score out from the folder at his feet.

"Yes... I saw the damage and decided to try again. Here..."

Her eyes landed on the score as she carefully took it from him. It took her a moment before a soft smile crossed her face.

"I... I think this will be a perfect ending... will you join me in it?" He nodded before pausing.

"Wait... you're letting me try again?" She smiled.

"It was either that or I was going to embarrass you for making all the music." His face went red as she giggled. "Come on! We have to tell the others!"

He was about to speak when she took off. A light curse slipped his lips as he grabbed his stuff and ran after her. He would catch up one of these days. But it was a sight to see that smile again. He huffed before catching up and letting her know his complaint. She could only giggle at that.
