Singing instead of Rehearsing! ((Open))

[Stevie Van Houten]

Stevie had no idea how she was going to do this. Her attention span was far to short to study and retain her lines. She would start and then slowly get bored or distracted by something and lose her place. She had finally gotten part of her lines down, but she was bored at this point in time and had no one to rehearse with. flinging her script down she paced the room, not realizing when she started singing.

"Didn't hear a tone, are you, hello
I never hear a tone, I guess you know
I can't remember what I called to say
I thought you might be home on Saturday

I really can't believe it's been a year
It took a little time without you here
I'm guessing you survived alone somehow
It's good that I can joke about it now

I still avoid the park at Christopher
Never wanna feel the way we were
Unless I'm in a hurry for that train
And that's the only newsstand open late

People change (people change) everyday (everyday)
Change like you (change like you)
I got all the time in the world

People cry (people cry) all the time (all the time)
Cry like me (cry like me)
We got all the time in the world

It's been so long that no one even asks
And everybody's walkin' on the grass
Grass that took a while to reappear
I'd forgotten green without you here

Christmas came and went upon this bench
Tryin' to justify what made no sense
Now the ivy's overrun the tears
But it could never hide what happened here

People change (people change) everyday (everyday)
Change like you (change like you)
I got all the time in the world

People cry (people cry) all the time (all the time)
Cry like me (cry like me)
We got all the time in the world

(Fillin' in the conversation by myself)
(Fillin' in the reason why you leave me leavin', leavin')
(Thinkin' back, the hope we had was more than mine)

The hope we had was more than mine (more than mine)
I know it makes sense to you (more than mine)
Just make it make sense to me

Maybe I'm alive beneath the snow
Maybe you're too petrified to know
I can't believe that you would tell me lies
How could I have missed that in those eyes

Maybe if I only heard your voice
I would understand you had no choice
And though I'm glad it's clear for you to see
I wish that you could make it make sense to me

People cry (people cry) all the time (all the time)
Cry like me (cry like me)
I got all the time in the world

Flowin' in and out your life (people change)
By tomorrow mornin (everyday)
Flowin' in and out my life (people change)

People change (people change) everyday
People cry (people change) all the time
People change (people change) everyday" She finished quitely with a sigh.

Julia was heading to the stage, reading her script, when she heard something ahead of her. It sounded like someone was singing. She followed the sound, and ended up in the Greenroom, opening the door. She walked inside, and said, "Wow... that was really good." She walked in a little further, "What song was that?"

[Stevie Van Houten]

Stevie had been so absorbed in the song, that she hadn't even heard the girl come in. When she complimented her on it, it startled her.

"Ack!" Stevie squeaked, caught of guard. she toppled over a footstool, going head first down. Breaking her fall, with her hands she glanced up at the girl.

"You scared me." She commented lightly before standing and brushing herself off. "I didn't think anyone was back here." She blushed slightly before shaking her head. "That was called People change, and thank you very much." She grinned sheepishly.

"I'm Stevie." She introduced herself. "I assume your in the play since your back here, who are ya playing?"

[juliaemery]

Julia smiled. "I'm Julia," she said, holding her hand out. "Or... Grandma Tzeitel." she grinned a little at the casting decision. "What's your role?" Julia set her script down on a chair.

[Stevie Van Houten]

"Good to meet ya Julia." Stevie replied shaking the pro offered hand. She grinned widely She motioned to one of the many seats as a invitation to sit.

"Hiya Grandma!" Stevie answered before biting her lip, not everyone appreciated her off beat humor. "I'm sorry, I'm play Tzeitel.." She laughed. "I get a bit carried away...I'm sure everyone is gonna be sick to death of me by the end." She laughed.

[juliaemery]

Julia smiled, "Nah, I doubt I'll get sick of you. How can I be sick of my granddaughter? Or is it great-granddaughter? I can't keep track." she laughed, and sat down by Stevie. "So, what grade are you in anyway?"

[Stevie Van Houten]

"Awe, see you always were my favorite grandma." Stevie joked with a smile. "I went and hollered at another cast mate not to long ago, called em by their character name. They didn't think it was so funny." She she said with a frown. When Julia sat down at asked her what grade she was in, her smile returned.

"Senior, what about you?" Stevie asked curiously. "This is my first, production, does it show?" she giggled.

[juliaemery]

((sorry I haven't been on in so long. ))

Julia laughed, "Well, that's their fault for not having a sense of humor." She smiled, to show she, at least, could take a joke. "I'm a sophomore, by the way. Though I may as well be a junior," she added kind of bitterly. She smiled again and said, "Well, I wish you luck then. I'm sure you'll be fine, you sounded really good."

[Stevie Van Houten]

Stevie was glad at least Julia had a sense of humor. Sometimes people didn't always get the slightly offbeat humor she had to offer.

"May as well be a junior?" Stevie echoed. The girl sounded a bit jaded. "If you don't mind my asking, what does that mean?" She crossed her legs at the ankle before leaning back in the chair.

"Oh well thank you." She said blushing when she complimented how she sounded. "I usually just play sports. Let a friend talk me into auditioning, and actually ended up getting it."

[juliaemery]

"I'm taking a lot of advanced classes, and the teachers give way too much homework," Julia explained, "But I guess it's my own fault for signing up for them. Curse my big brain." She joked.

"Really? What sports do you play?" Julia asked curiously. "Well, it's a good thing your friend suggested auditioning. Otherwise I wouldn't have met you, and I'd still be alone here. I just transferred here not too long ago."

[Stevie Van Houten]

"Ah, I know about to much homework." Stevie agreed. "I was up until almost two last night trying to finish some for my English class!" She shook her head. "Plus with trying to fill out financial aid forms, and work, it gets hectic." When she asked what sports she played Stevie glanced at her before shrugging.

"I'm on the school's Track and Field Team and the girls Volleyball team." She said before adding on quietly, "But I sometimes play Softball and basketball for fun. I thought about trying out for the girls basketball team, but it conflicted with something else, so I didn't bother." When Julia said she was glad she let her friend talk her into it, and that she was still fairly knew she nodded.

"I think we've had a few people transfer in recently." She told her. She glanced at her watch and frowned.

"I'm so sorry I really have to go!" She said "I'm gonna be late for work, it was good meeting you, and I'll see you soon Grandma!" She grinned brightly before bolting out the door.
