"Alright, guys." Leanne caught their attention. All the students of Memes were there at the gazebo nearby the boys' dorm, especially since it was the Christmas Chorus tomorrow. The practice had started now, 3:45 pm, and it'll end at 6:00 pm. "Now that the instrumentalists are here, let's polish the singing and music. Then we'll do it with the steps. Is that okay?"

Everyone agreed.

"Let's go, guys!" Jeff clapped. "Performance level!"

~PASKORUS PRACTICE MONTAGE~
(not really the practice parts though—)

"Whee!" Julia appeared before the boys as they were all taking their water break. She was carrying a bunch of flowers that fell from the plumeria trees. "You will become girls!"

"How'd you find all those for the nineteen of us from the ground that fast?" Gavin asked as one was placed behind his ear and on his Cajó.

"Mom helped me!" She answered as she gave RD a flower.

"Mom— Oh... Leanne..." RD realized she was talking about the Memes Family Tree that was being drafted. "Can I be your brother?"

"You will be a bad brother!" She pouted like a child. "But I will be a good sister by hitting you to make you good!"

"That sounds like incest." Denise whispered as he placed the flower on his glasses' bridge, but the two didn't hear it.

"Gale," Julia called his name as she approached him with his flower. "When will you wear a skirt?"

"You actually remember." Gale laughed. "Uh... Never."

"Aw..." She looked a little disappointed but still handed over the flower. "I need my younger brother to wear a skirt... Ah, we're all girls except him. We'll just blackmail him or something."

"More incest..!" Denise commented, almost not whispering.

"Denise, no." Andy warned him.

"Guys," Carl called James, Andy, Denise, JC, and Gale's attention. "On a scale of one to James or Gale (with James or Gale being the highest), how gay do I look with the flower?"

"Dude, why." Gale furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Nah, I was kidding!" Carl chuckled.

"Ah, have you seen JC without his glasses?" Denise blurted out. "He looks so fabulous~"

"Guys!" Jeff said. "Practice is starting again!"

"Though, seriously." James said. They had another break. "What if we get into the finals? Will we make Sir Neil the evil Santa?"

"What would my role become?" Tonito asked since he was the Santa.

"Yeah," Jeff nodded. "And how would Sir ride me? I'm the reindeer."

"And that's why I'm glad he's hard to convince." Andy shook his head. "But having you crushed would be okay..."

"Ouch!" Jeff jumped backwards.

"Did anyone even ask him?" James questioned, and everyone said "no".

"Uh, guys." Leanne said, and pointed to the road nearby the boys' dorm. "Is it okay if we practice there instead? The sun's setting so it's a lot hotter, and there aren't that many cars... 7-Storm's also practicing on some other part of the road, but we'll be far enough not to bother each other."

"Unless we're that loud..." Carl remarked, but a majority of them agreed.

"I like how you thought of us being louder than them." Kotka snickered.

"Car incoming!" Jelly looked up from his piano and saw the vehicle. "Move!"

The students moved to either the left or right sidewalks. Well, except Ava. She moved to the middle.

"Yayyy!" She cheered then ran to the side.

The class returned and watched as it was 7-Storm's turn to run away.

"Hey, uh, Jelly." Gale tapped his shoulder. It was 5:45pm. They finished early since a lot of people had to leave, and they seemed set for tomorrow's performance. "Can I try the piano?"

"Sure." He nodded, stepping aside.

It's been a while since I've played... Gale tried to remember the song he was familiar with. He brushed his fingers along the keys, ignoring the other part of the keyboard with a lot of irrelevant (at least for him) buttons. He lightly pressed a key. Then another. And another.

"Oh, is that Shelter?" Ava looked at him.

"Yeah." He continued to play it. Well, it was really far from the best, but it still sounded like the song.

"I didn't know you played the piano." Jelly blinked, but he didn't seem satisfied with Gale's skills.

"Ah, I'll try something." Gale stopped the song.

"Wait, that's wrong." He stopped after playing a few discorded notes. "Uh, I've never done this before!"

After a few tries and piano cries, he finally got what he thought was alright.

"The first part of Satisfied?" Ava asked, and he nodded.

"Uh, that's all I know." He admitted, and he started to play Shelter again.

Suddenly, Carl pressed a button on the keyboard.

"Dictionary." The keyboard said in a robotic song.

"What the hell!?" Gale jumped back, extremely surprised. Carl snickered.

"Anyway, I'm going now." Carl waved. "Bye."

The remaining students bid him goodbye.

"Can I try?" Kotka asked Gale and Jelly, pointing to the piano.

"Sure." Jelly nodded again.

She smiled and started playing. The way she tapped the notes was wrong, but it was still a song that could be identified.

"KOTKA!" Jay yelled. "Is that Once Upon a Time!?"

"Yeah." She nodded and stopped. "I only watched how my friend did it. I don't know the rest."

"I memorize His Theme, though." She played a different song, but they sounded a little similar.

"Ah... Don't..." Jay looked a little nostalgic and sad about it.

"What does this button do?" He decided to interrupt by pressing it.

The piano literally moaned.

Everyone stared at the piano.

"Hmm..." John approached it and tapped a key. It moaned again. "Hahaha..."

"It's time to stop!" Leanne dragged him away after he almost spent a whole minute playing it with that... interesting... setting.
