Emily wandered into the ballroom. It was currently very undecorated and plain but it was huge. The DJ stand, which was set up in the center of the back wall, played music for anyone who came in. Kings and Queens by 30 Seconds to Mars played and she swayed to the music. This was one of her favorite songs. She spun around and continued swaying.

Emily sighed as the song stopped but when the next one came she smiled once again. Only One by Yellowcard came on. She smiled and swayed again, spinning around a few times. The only thing that could make this better to her was if Lucas was there. She knew he probably had better things to do than be with her but she could wish couldn't she?

Erik walked into the ballroom, hoping it would be empty. He noticed a girl he didn't know, but paid no attention to her. He advanced to the grand piano and began playing The acoustic version of Apology by Alesana and singing: "Sweat drips in my eyes
screams of lust we cry
tonight you are everything
you're everything...
you're everything to me no more
as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
can I not stay and live this lie?
go away and I'll think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared
or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end...
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions...
would this be the same?
broken pieces will not mend to save our past now...go away...
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you
Now we must let go
urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you"

The music she was listening to stopped and the voice of a guy filled the air. His voice was perfect and light, an Apollo kid she decided. She walked over to the piano and leaned on it, listening to him sing.

Erik held down the last keys for a beat before letting go and putting his hands in his lap. Which song should I play next? He thought to himself, staring at the keys of the piano. He looked up and noticed the girl who was dancing earlier leaning against the piano. Slightly startled by her presence he said: "Uh, Hi..." He smiled cordially, awaiting her reply.

Emily smiled sheepishly and blushed. She had been drawn by the sound of the music and felt kind of stupid for being there at the moment. "Oh, hi..." She said trying to explain why she had been standing there. "I'm Emily, Daughter of Aphrodite." SHe said finally getting her head back on and being able to think.

Erik leaned his elbow on the piano, careful not to hit any of the keys. "I'm Erik, Son of Apollo. It's nice to meet you, Emily." He said, a small smile still plastered on his face.

"You are a very good musician." She said with a smile. "I mean it makes sense because you are a child of Apollo but still you are very good." She added feeling stupid once again. "I didn't mean to startle you but i am drawn to music in a way."

"Thank you." Erik said running his hand through his hair, a light blush appearing on his face. No one had ever complimented him on his musical abilities. Not even his mother. "You didn't startle me at all. I was just surprised at the fact someone stopped to listen to me play."

"Well you are quite good." She said smiling at him. She looked at the piano and then the keys. Emily loved to play piano, she had been taught at a young age and had fallen in love.

Erik blushed a little deeper and watched as Emily eyed the piano. "Would you like to play? I can move." He asked, standing up.

"Okay." she said and sat down on the bench. She rested her hands right on the keys, lightly enough so that no notes played. Emily went through all the songs she knew in her head trying to think of one to play. One came to mind. She started to play This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars.
"A warning to the people
The good and the evil
This is war
To the soldier, the civillian
The martyr, the victim
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the Edge of the Earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the Edge of the Earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
To the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight
To the right
To the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right
To the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands up to the sky
The fight is done
The war is won
Lift your hands
Towards the sun
Towards the sun
Towards the sun
Towards the sun
The war is won
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight
To the right
To the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right
To the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world
I believe in nothing
Not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing
Not the earth and not the stars
I believe in nothing
Not the day and not the dark
I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts
I believe in nothing
One hundred suns until we part
I believe in nothing
Not in satan, not in god
I believe in nothing
Not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothing
But the truth of who we are"

Erik moved to the side of the piano and leaned against it to listen to Emily play. She played and sang a song he had never heard. It was a very good song, lyrics and all. When she was finished: He commented: "You're a very good musician, yourself."

A small smile came to her face. "Why thank you." She said. "I learned piano when I was little and I have played ever since."
