Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mom! Dad!" Tori called out as she set her violin on the table that was back stage- she had after all left her case on stage. She was still a little out of breath from the excitement of it.

"Sissy! Sissy!" Lucifel called out as she ran up the stairs to get back stage. She was more bouncy than her typical self. "You amazing!" She giggled as she hugged her sister.

As Lucifel hugged her tightly Tori wobbled a bit- she had been caught off guard. It wasn't exactly the first 'person' she expected to see but it was welcomed non the less. "Thank you," she giggled. She picked her sister up like so many times previous and gave her a huge hug. "It means a lot."

"You've cause quite the stir," Vlad said as he finally managed to make his way up the stairs. "The rest of the family's behind me," he chuckled. "Unless of course they got stopped by yet another person asking questions about you."

"See told you good!" Lucifel giggled.

"Sissy no need luck! Sissy good all by herself," Lucifel giggled and clapped. She felt really good right now.

Tori was nearly bursting at the seams with pride when she heard her family's confirmation. As she hugged her mom with her free hand she giggled. A second later she sat Lucifel down so that she could hug Enyo.

"Thanks! It means a lot coming from you," she said as she hugged her rainbow colored sister. "Enyo, I almost worried you'd be up to your usual self," she chuckled.

"So you all are sure it isn't just the fact that they hear me every day practicing... and, now for the first time they are getting to see an actual performance?" It was her modesty showing through.

Before anyone could speak to confirm or deny Tori's question a heavy set man with what looked to be a lopsided toupee sitting on top of his head came bustling up the stairs. He was dressed in what appeared to be a very expensive suit- the main, and only problem was that it appeared at any moment he'd burst through the buttons on his shirt and coat.

"My, my, my... Brilliant!" If it was possible to do so, he was doing it- grinning ear to ear as he praised Tori. "We've been watching you for some time and now this! Marvelous!"

"This section is restricted," Vlad told the man as he stepped forward to protect his family. He knew Tori had caused a stir but the last thing he wanted to come from it was a confrontation.

"Forgive me. Names Graham Bennett, I'm part of the group that judges the auditions for the teen symphony. I came to extend you the offer... after that there is no need. With that talent she's in. That is if you allow her."

Tori glanced at Vlad. Vlad glanced back before giving his wife a glance...

Vlad took his wifes look as leave it up to Tori and that to step back. He stood next to his wife and kids. He positioned himself in a don't ******** with me stance.

"I hardly have the time," Tori replied to the man. As much as she would like to accept the offer, it was true... she already just had so much to do already.

"Once in a lifetime," Mr Bennett retorted. "Get in now and you'll be a shoe in for the 'real deal' when your an adult..." he winked. Something about him said he wasn't going go give up.

Tori sighed softly as she thought it over again. She could rearrange a few things but that would mean that she would hardly have time for anything else... personal time included in that. "Sure- why not!" She finally said with a bit of excitement.

"Splendid!" Mr Bennett exclaimed. He pulled a business card out of his pocket and hand it to her. "Tomorrow promptly at four and we'll get you set up," he was grinning even more so than before.

Tori looked at the card and then back up at Mr. Bennett before nodding her head. She then turned and headed back over to her sisters. This was suppose to a family moment.
