Pearl Pov

"Opal, are you sure? I mean, how will I get home safely if you don't drive me?" Opal laughed.

"I'm still driving you, just not till later. You can handle yourself until then, right?" Normally, I would trust Opal no matter what happened. But how could she leave me here alone?

"Oh, we'll manage! " A voice said, laughing behind me. A nice, soothing voice.

"Rose!" I turned around and wrapped my arms around the tall junior. "How are you?"

"Great! I'm so glad you got accepted!" She grabbed my hand and led me away from the gymnasium.

"Your sister is the head of the teams, right?" I ask, following her down a hallway.

"Yep. But that's her thing. I prefer music." She opened a door with some music notes on it, and I was immediately hit with the sounds of a guitar.

"Greg!" Rose called over the music. I noticed a rather short boy, with rather long hair, sitting on top of a speaker with an electric guitar in his hand. He stopped playing long enough to greet us.

"Oh, hey Rose!" He jumped up. "And..."

"Pearl," I said, extending my hand. He looked at it oddly, until I put it down.

"This is Pearl, I've told you about her?" Recognition clicked in his eyes.

"Oh yeah, you're the genius!" He smiled,  looking back up at Rose.

"Greg was accepted on a music scholarship!" Rose grinned, but the expression on Greg's face showed that that wasn't true. "We're working on a song now, wanna hear it?" Rose looked down at me with her brightest smile.

"Um, I'm not so sure about that, Rose..." Greg said, scratching the back of his head. "It's not finished yet, we need some drums, and probably a keytar, and-" Rose laughed.

"Oh come on, Mr. Universe!"

"Mr. Universe?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's Rose's name for me." He said, embarrassed.

"But please?" He sighed

"Fine. Pearl, prepare to be blown away!"

He started playing his guitar, tapping his foot for drums. After a moment, he and Rose began to sing.

What can I do for you
What can I do that no one else can do
What can I do for you
What can I do fo-or you

Rose spun away while Greg continued to play.

Human man
You are so much fun
I hadn't planned
On finding you
Quite so entertaining
I like your band
And I like your style
I like the way
Human beings play
I like playing along
Woa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oah

What can I do for you
What can I do that no one else can do
For you
What can I do for you
What can I do fo-or you

Greg continued to play, until he stopped suddenly.

"And, that's sorta what we have."

"Do you like it?"
