Taylor sat in the lounge with a large case next to her and a music stand. She propped the case on the couch and opened it. The shiny trumpet glowed like a beacon in the late afternoon sunlight that was filtering through the open window. Smiling, she took the instrument out of its case and set it on the couch gently. Taylor took her valve oil out and oiled the valves (keys), the kick slide, and tuning slide so they wouldn't stick when she was trying to play. Taylor took her favorite piece of music out of the case and placed it on the music stand. Taylor raised the trumpet and pressed the cold mouthpiece to her lips, then played. Highlights from Harry Potter wasn't easy, but she loved to play the music anyways. She'd been playing the trumpet since third grade. (I've been playing the trumpet in real life for almost two years now! I've got braces, so it's kind of hard now. When I tried out for band though, they mad us play on the mouthpiece, and I play the trumpet mouthpiece so loud and clearly! The band director thought that was cool:)) Attachments:

Josh walked into the Lounge, ready to grab a drink and relax. He wandered through the door, and saw Taylor playing... the trumpet? He hadn't known she played and instruments. "Hey! Nice playin'." He said.

Taylor was about to play a very high note, when she heard Josh's voice; she jumped with shock and spun around, gripping her heart. "Oh, you scared me," she said a little breathlessly. "Thanks, I've been playing this old thing for a long time."

"Um, okay," she said, smiling a little. Taylor took out music from the Titanic and place it on the stand, then started to play a the very fast piece.

Josh grinned. He recognized the music from the film Titanic. She was good. "So, do ya play in a band?"

"I started band in third grade and I was in the school orchestra from 10th to the middle of 12th grade," Taylor said, smiling at him. "I had to quit after I decided to move here, though."

Josh nodded. "Cool. I can't play anything. I'm hopeless with music."

"Have you ever tried playing an instrument?"

Josh laughed. "Yes. I tried playing piano for a while. It didn't work out. I like listening to music, just haven't got the patience to play it."

"Well, it's pretty much the same as working with horses: Just give it time," Taylor said.

Josh laughed. "Yeah, I spose." he shrugged. "I'm not that bothered. What else do you like doing, apart from your trumpet and riding?"

"Well . . . I've always liked going to the beach," Taylor said, shrugging. "It's so calm there." (I actually live like fifty miles from the beach! u know glaveston bay Gulf of MEXICO!  ) |

"I wish you did, so you could describe it to me," Taylor said, smiling at him. She set her trumpet down, realizing that her hand had started to hurt from the metal instrument's weight.

Taylor paused for a second, thinking. "You know what . . . I can't remember," Taylor said, frowning. "So many things have happened lately, I just can't remember anymore!" (I actually don't remember, blazie!  do you?) |

Taylor was surprised that Josh threw the Dr. Pepper at her, but she caught it with both hands. "Glad that didn't hit me!" she laughed, popping the lid open.

"Nice catch!" Josh grinned and slid onto the sofa. "Keep playin' if ya like. Sorry I interrupted!" he hadn't thought he'd be interrupting her before now.
