*Above is the song she sings*

(.)

I was nervous. Today at school they were having a talent show, and I was singing one of Dad's songs-Birds. I'm singing it with Troye, and I was super nervous-more nervous than when I was introduced to the Fander Fandom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And now, singing "Birds," by Thomas Sanders, here's Aricka Sanders and Troye Sivan!" On impulse, I grabbed Troye's hand before we went on stage, and he squeezed back as we walked onstage. I take a breath, and as the music starts, I begin to sing. (Bold-Aricka. Italics-Troye. Both-Both of them.)

Today is not the day to jump out of a plane

I don't wanna parasail or play roulette

I don't wanna risk it all or go insane

But I don't wanna go home yet

I just wanna watch the birds go by

From my handy foldable blue canvas throne

I wanna watch them fly and fly

And see them soar up into the unknown

I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field

I'm not up for a match of polo

I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed

I'm also not up for waterpolo

It's just me and Mr. Finch

The robins, the king fishers, the snipes

Though I heard they don't exist

..."

I was startled when people started clapping-I'd forgot there were people in the audience! Troye and I bow, and then we each do our solo bow, before running offstage.
