(The song in this is put above. It belongs to Nelly originally, but I put my favorite version of it there. I also may have gotten some lyrics wrong, so please excuse that)

Aliyah's POV
Taking a day to relax was good for the twins. Aliyah walked beside Allie as they maneuvered through the town. Her blue eyes were focused on the building they passed, and she came to a halt in front of a place that had a bunch of instruments inside, along with a stage.

"What's this?" She asked Allie.

"Maybe it's some kind of place for practicing bands or something?" Allie looked through the window as well.

Before she could react, Aliyah had already began dragging her toward the door. She pushed it open and looked around. For the first time, they noticed a boy their age there.

"Oh, hello!" He waved to the girls, and they responded with their own waves. "Did you come to practice or something?"

"Well, we were just curious, but is there anyone occupying this place at the moment?" Aliyah asked.

The boy shook his head, "nope! There's some who are coming in later, but that's a while away."

A smile displayed itself on Aliyah's lips as she moved toward the stage. On it sat a piano and a microphone, and she turned to wave Allie over.

"We should play something!" Aliyah's eyes sparkled.

Allie shrugged, "why not?"

She walked up to the piano and sat down on the bench. Slowly lifting up the cover shielding the keys, Allie ran her fingers over them. They felt so familiar.

"I'll play, you sing?" She looked at Aliyah, who nodded happily.

Allie seemed to think for a moment before coming to a decision. She started to play a tune Aliyah knew well. The tune lasted by itself for a few seconds, sounding sad and lonely. Aliyah smiled to herself. This was a song they had played a lot. So instead of just Aliyah singing when she was cued, both of the girls did.

I was thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.

Travelled back, down that road.
Will you come back, no one knows.

I realize, it was only just a dream.

Aliyah began a solo part.

I was at the top, and now it's like I'm in the basement.
Number one spot, now you've found your own replacement.

I swear now that I can't take it, knowing someone's got my baby.
And now you ain't around, baby I can't think.

I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring.
Cause I can still feel it in the air.

See your pretty face, run my fingers through your hair.
My lover, my life. My baby, my wife

You left me, I'm tied.
Cause I know that it just ain't right.

Allie joined in with the chorus again.

I was thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.

Travelled back, down that road.
Will you come back, no one knows.

I realize, it was only just a dream.

Aliyah's voice faded out, and Allie took over.

When I'm riding, I swear I see your face at every turn.

I'm trying to get my usher on, but I can let it burn.
And I just hope you know that you're the only one I yearn for.

No wonder I'll be missing when I learn.

Didn't give you all my love, I guess now I got my payback.

At this, Allie slammed one hand down on the keys, not too hard, but she quickly continued to tune without much effort.

Now I'm in the club, thinking all about you baby.

Hey, you were so easy to love.
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough.

I'm going through it every time that I'm alone.
And now I'm wishing that you'd pick up the phone.

But she made a decision that she wanted to move on.

Cause I was wrong.

Aliyah joined in for the next part.

I was thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.

Travelled back, down that road.
Will you come back, no one knows.

I realize, it was only just a dream.

If you've ever loved somebody, put your hands up.
If you've ever loved somebody, put your hands up.

Now they're gone, and you're wishing you could give them everything.

Ohh, if you've ever loved somebody, put your hands up.
If you've ever loved somebody, put your hands up.

Now they're gone, and you're wishing you could give them, everything!

I was thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.

Travelled back, down that road.
Will you come back, no one knows.

I realize, it was only just a dream.

I was thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.

Travelled back, down that road.
Will you come back, no one knows.

I realize, it was only just a dream.

No....
It was only just a dream.

The last part ended softly, and the twins gave each other looks of satisfaction. That's when clapping was heard. Aliyah glanced around and was shocked to find Korosensei and some of Allie's classmates there. Allie smiled at the keys to the piano and put the top over them again, standing up from the bench.

"That was beautiful," Korosensei exclaimed with apparent tears.

The boy from earlier just gave the poorly disguised teacher a weird look and shrugged.

"I didn't know you could sing," It was Kayano who spoke.

"H-how did you know we were here?" Allie asked.

"We passed by and heard you guys," Kayano answered.

Aliyah hopped off of the stage, staring off to the side.

"We used to do that a lot, but things changed," She said softly.

Allie nodded in agreement, "it was always fun though."

"Yeah. Hey, what do you say we go get some candy or something?" Aliyah turned around with a happy smile upon her face.

Taking a trip through memories while doing something she had loved dearly certainly raised her mood.
