Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm fine, I've been hurt alot worse than that." Raz looked into Tuomas' eyes then lowered her gaze and sighed, she knew she couldn't stop Josie from playing the old home movies.

"Hey, I found one. 'Raz's Debut', you wanna watch it, or end our torture of Rassy and let her go?" Josie held up another video and placed a hand on her hip. She didn't even know what this video held and wanted to see it, but she was going to let Tuomas make a descision instead of just putting it in and getting herself in more trouble.

"OK." Josie let go of the movie and walked over to sit down on the couch next to Tuomas while the movies switched themselves without her help. She plopped down and gave Raz a smile then turned to see that the movie was about a wedding.

The video went through about half of a wedding before a man in a black suit holding a glass of wine stepped up on a podium and began talking.

"Alright, everyone, calm down calm down. Mr. O'Rourke, a great man, has a surprise for us today. His daughter, Rasoline, has decided to sing for the newlyweds. She will be singing a Celtic love song that will bring the two great love in the future and keep their love alive for many years to come. Rasoline O'Rourke!" The man gave a smile as a teenage Raz came up and bowed to him, they talked to each other for a second before Raz stepped up to the microphone and began a slow song, her words unknown because of the language. She continually smoothed out her light pink dress and was obviously nervous about singing, but she held her chin up and kept singing. The newlyweds were dancing and more couples joined them as Raz sang on, her voice reaching high and low notes with little effort.

"Wow. That's it, just, wow." Josie stared at Raz as the video went on, she had never known her sister had sang at a wedding and couldn't believe she wasn't on a stage today.

"I don't know why I stopped singing, I just did." Raz layed her head on Tuomas' shoulder and watched the video, she hadn't seen it in awhile and could almost feel how proud her father had been when she had said she would sing for the couple.

"That was the only time I ever sang in front of a crowd. And the only time I ever will." Raz looked over at Josie and shook her head a little, telling her sister that her singing days were over and she wouldn't even try to start up again, not for anything in the world.

"I guess I stopped because that dream is unreachable for me. I'm better writing books and songs, not singing. And besides, I probably can't sing anymore anyways." Raz looked up at Tuomas and gave a half-smile, she could tell he was curious about her not singing.

"This, coming from a fire-starter? Since when was anything unreachable for you, Raz? You told me that anyone can do anything when we were young and now you're saying you can't sing. Bull." Josie gave Raz the slightest of glares and scoffed at here sister, it was unbelievable what she was saying. Raz had been able to do alot when they were younger and always bounced back with something better when she falied, but now she just gave up a great talent for nothing and Josie was near hurting her sister for doing so.

"I was scared to death singing on stage, it was my big mouth and soft heart that got me up there, not my voice. I'm gonna start singing again, not now at least." Raz managed to unwrap herself from the blanket and stood up to stretch, her hands reaching toward the ceiling as her back cracked a few times. She turned to Tuomas and Josie and gave them both a smile.

"I'll sing again, when I'm ready. But not before that." Raz kept her smile and turned to walk into the kitchen, her mood much better after seeing that video.

"We have to get her on stage. Raz has a good voice but doesn't realize it and she needs a push. You'll help me, right Tuomas?" Josie turned to Tuomas and questioned him with her indigo eyes again. She knew he wanted to hear her sister sing again and she wanted to hear her voice again also.

"I don't, but Raz can sorta play the piano." Josie sat back against the couch and looked over at the TV, the static was starting to bug her and she telekinetically turned off the old thing.

"I think she knows one of the songs that were programmed in her keyboard. If I can get the lyrics, she might sing it. But there would have to be a violinist to play the background part." Josie ran a hand through one of her sidelocks and began braiding it, her mind searching for anyone she knew who could play a violin.

"It'll take me a little while to get the music, but I'm sure I can get it. Do we have a deal?" Josie looked over at Tuomas and held out her hand. She was happy to have the chance to get her sister to sing again, and she probably couldn't have picked anyone better to help her do it.
