Chapter 9: Preparation.

After breakfast, Boris did the dishes today, so he took the initiative to clean everyone's dishes. Henry happily helped him carry the dishes to the sink. Alice went up to her room, and before she left she said to Henry:

"Please wait for me in the living room, I will get the lyrics for you!"

She spoke in a sweet, cheerful voice like she was singing, smiling at him. Henry nodded and left the living room, he sat down on the sofa. Not long after, Alice returned with the lyrics in her hand. She sat down next to him, holding the sheet of song lyrics and showing him.

He reads it carefully and very attentively, as if he never took his eyes off the paper for a second. Looking at Henry's lovely expression, Alice giggled.

"Do you need to be in such concentration?"

Henry looked away from the lyrics, looking at Alice sheepishly. He raised his hand to scratch his head, glanced at his knee and spoke in a low voice.

"I just want to memorize the lyrics and make sure I don't make any mistakes..."

"Aw... Come on, don't act like you just did something wrong!"

Alice involuntarily felt guilty.

"Just relax! You can do it, just don't push yourself too hard, Honey."

Alice laughed, she patted his head.

"Well then, back to the song, sing this part like this, the rhythm isn't too fast..."

Alice and Henry continued to look at the lyrics, sometimes she sang samples to him, then he would sing the same again. But no one noticed, Bendy was leaning on the sofa behind the two of them, watching them both silently. The mischievous devil also did not want to break the concentrated atmosphere of the two potential singers.

"Come on! It's only half way through the preparation stage!"

Boris came in from the garden, still holding the trumpet in his hand, when he heard Alice's voice from the living room.

"Again...?" 

This time he heard Bendy's disinterested voice.  Boris curiously entered the living room after putting away the trumpet.

"What? You can't let Henry perform on stage with just a simple sweater! I'm not trying to force you to come or anything, you can choose not to go if you want! And I'll be there, alone with Henry."

Although Alice didn't specify where she was going, Boris had a hint of where she wanted to go.

Boris knocked on a nearby door to get attention.  Everyone turned to look at him.

"Huh? But... What?? You go alone with Henry?? No way!" 

Bendy hugged one of Henry's arms, showing his disapproval.

Standing in the middle of Alice and Bendy's quarrel, Henry was also confused, not knowing what to do. 

"That's it! Must go shopping! And I don't need you to go with me!" Straightforward Alice just to point out the problem. 

"There's no need, and there's no way I'll leave Henry and you alone without me!" 

"Then you just have to come along, simple!"  Alice on her hips.

"But I'm lazy!"  Bendy crossed his arms, unsatisfied look.

Boris shook his head wearily.  He waved his hand in Henry's direction, wanting to call the little angel to come towards him.

"..."

Henry followed curiously after Boris, wondering what the Wolf wanted to show him.  Boris led him up to his room and told Henry to wait for him.
