Micka was holding drum sticks as she stood up and looked at the drums. She tilted her head to the side and hit a few cymbals before she sat down and began to play.

She was so engrossed with her playing that she didn't realize someone walked into the room.

"Uh...you play well." Aurora said hesitantly, not sure how Micka would take the interruption. She hadn't planned on coming to the Music Room, and the fact that she had even without planning was something rare. Aurora had a set routine and she had stuffed every minute of her day with activities and usually, she stuck to that.

When she had heard the sounds of drumming coming from inside the room, for a moment she had been confused. For one thing, she hadn't heard of drummers at Stellar and the second, according to her, the room should have been empty. So she had walked in to check and when she saw Micka, she had felt obliged to tell the girl she played well. Obligation went a long way in ruining people's lives.

Micka stopped playing and looked at her. "Aurie!!!!! You really think so?!!!!!"

"Yeah, you're definitely better than me." Aurora replied with a smile, pulling down her sleeves and playing with them. "Although that might not be tat great of a compliment." She added as an afterthought, a frown gracing her features for a minute before she shook her head and cleared it away.

Micka jumped off the seat and went to Aurora and hugged her tightly.

Aurora was more than just surprised by that. She was shell shocked, totally frozen. Uncertainly she reciprocated the hug. She had never enjoyed too much physical contact with people. "Uh.....your welcome?"

Micka smiled brightly and looked at her. "So Aurie! Play any instruments?!"

"Not really, no. But I do try." Aurora answered with a light shrug. She wasn't very musically inclined. Music and science were difficult to co-relate, but she was Aurora and she tried everything. If only once.

Micka clasped her hands together. "want me to teach you to play something?????" her eyes twinkled in excitement.

"Sure. What do you teach?" Aurora asked enthusiastically. Micka's enthusiasm was very infectious and Aurora found herself grinning and anticipating what the girl would teach her.

"What do you want me to teach you??? Piano, guitar or drums?!!!" Micka said excitedly.

"Drums?" Aurora ventured unsure between drums and guitar. In the end, she choose drums because it seemed easier and less self harming than guitars. Plus, she didn't want to end up looking like a brunette Taylor Swift.

Micka clapped her hands and sat down. She played something simple then looked at her. "Wanna give that a try or something more simple????"

"Give what a try?" Aurora asked slowly, fidgeting with her hyperactive fingers as she wondered what Micka meant by that.

Micka smiled. "Wanna try what i just played?"

"I think we should try with simpler stuff." Aurora suggested, shaking her head firmly.

Micka nodded then played something more simple. "There?" she asked smiling.

"I guess." Aurora replied, taking another pair of drumsticks and walking up to the spare drum set. She tried but faltered after a few beats. "Is there anything even more simpler?"

Micka nodded and smiled. She played something more simple.

This time Aurora concentrated harder and followed up better. Still not perfect, but at least it didn't sound like the drums were dropped from stairs.

Micka squealed and clapped happily. "Sounds awesome!!!"

"Marginal." Aurora replied, shaking her head. She knew she wasn't that good, and she was very hard to please. She was the hardest on herself, finding minuscule faults in everything she did.

Micka raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side, not knowing what the word meant. "Huh???"

"Average, almost insufficient, at the lower limits, at the borders, not good enough." Aurora replied automatically, her bookish side glad for the chance to spout facts.

Micka blinked and nodded slowly. "okay...?? So.. wanna try again?????!"
