Rachel woke up a little after nine and since she didn't have to go back to work until two, she went to the second lounge which was above the basement, it was smaller and no one really comes here so it gives her some peace and quiet.

"Ah! Nana" said a youth that startled her Ray was a pianist and the son of the hotel's owner. They are friends since she could play the Piano better than him, he was passionate about the instrument.

"Hey Ray" Rachel looked at him for a moment before heading towards the piano and opened it as she opened as she place her song's note book by the side.

"Are you going to play something?" he asked excited and sat right next to her on the bench "let me help"

"No" she started play to get a beat going "Like a small boat on the ocean , Sending big waves into motion" she paused and then scratched her head.

"what's wrong"

"Nothing, I just don't like how is sounds" as she leaned on the piano and continuously pressing one key repeatedly. "Last night was that planned" she asked.

"That, yeah, Dad was paid a lot for the broadcast"

"Broadcast?" Rachel looked at him in alert.

"Yeah, that's why the hotel is busy today. Everybody flooded in and checked into rooms."

"Am I really that good?" she whispered but Ray still heard it.

"Are you kidding? Your amazing" Ray said in astonishment.

"Its it because the music is good"

"Yeah its great but Nana you are what makes it even better."

Rachel gave him a look of disbelief.

"You really don't believe me"

She then pushed her hair behind her head "Is that why they want me to sing later this afternoon, they want me to sing in front of all those reporters for publicity"

"Yeah" Ray blinked. "Nana you know you could make it big, right, well, that's what my Dad says."

Rachel thought about it a little bit 'Their where no extraordinary singers in this country so Music wasn't as well off as Movies. Without those celebrity singers inspiring future artist, music would have never developed into what it is in the modern world.'

"Hey, Nana" Ray said after seeing Rachel lost in thought for a while. Before she sat up are started playing. Ray stared in a trance as he watched because sure enough the tone she played had him hooked.

"Tell me baby what we're gonna do. I'll make it easy, got a lot to lose. Watch the sunlight, coming through. Open the window, let it shine on you"

People started pulling into the small lounge due to the amazing voice that was coming from it. They had sparks of passion and inspiration in their eyes.

"When you say you've had enough. And you might just give it up

Oh, oh

I will never let you down, when you are feeling low on love

I'll be what you're dreaming of, I will never let you down"

Suddenly an applause erupted which caused her a slight panic. The really wasn't paying attention, she nearly had a heart attack, making her feel like an idiot at the fact that she didn't see these people come in.

"Sing some more!" some guy from the crowd yelled. Rachel then turned her face to Ray and he sat up and walked away. Rachel grabbed a the nearby mike and with a smile.
