HIDDEN GENDER

AMy
"Huh... I thought you said you were going to sing the Hare Hare Yukai." I said. "I'm still not sure what I'll do."

Xochilt


"you can sing" I said

Amy
"Well, of course I'm going to do that, but I don't really know what song I'll sing." I said. "Should I sing an American song, instead of a Japanese one?"

Xochilt

"I don't know" I said thinking

Amy
"Um... maybe Kibou no Kakera... or Torn."

Iris
"Hey... guys, whatcha talking about?"

Amy
"Oh, we're just talking about what we're doing for the talent show."

Iris
"Sweet! What are you doing?"

Amy
"I'm still deciding. Should I sing Torn?"

Xochilt

"I think your a good singer and I'm just a bad singer but singing is fun" I said

Amy
"Naah, you're a good singer. Just a bit squeaky. Sorta like me."

Xochilt

"really?" I asked

Iris
"Yep. But I'm the best. Do re mi fa sol la ti do re mi fa sol la ti do re mi fa sol la ti do re mi fa sol la ti do re mi fa sol la ti do re mi fa sol la ti... do...!" I just managed to reach the last high note.

((Yeeah, it keeps ascending... I think only opera singers can hit that last note. It's haard.))

Amy
I smiled. "Yep! Iris is the best!" I praised.

Xochilt

"but I always thought all of us are the best" I said

Iris
"I guess. But I'm still awesome. So you're torn between a song and... torn?"

Amy
"...we're all the best, but Iris is the best of the best!" I said. "Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm deciding between a Japanese song or an American one."

Iris
"You should do Love Story! It's perfect for your voice! I can do something else."

Amy
"Nah, you can do Love story. I think I want to do an American song, but now I can't decide between Torn or Teardrops on my guitar."

Iris
"Taylor Swift has the same type of voice as you. You should do Teardrops. And y'know, I want to do something else. I wanna do Some Hearts by Carrie Underwood!"

Amy
"Alright! Though I'm still unsure. I think I'll..." I pondered. "Oh I know! I'll sing them out loud and decide which one I sound better singing!"

I took a breath. "I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late. I'm already Torn."

Then I sang Teardrops on my Guitar. "He's the reason for the Teardrops on my Guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on my wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do..."

I paused. "Yeah. I think I'll sing Teardrops."

Iris
I nodded. "Torn is good, but Teardrops is your singing style - it fits the way you sing naturally."

Amy
"Iris, could you help me with auditions, like last time?" I grinned.

Iris
"But I wanna audition!" I whined.

Amy
"You could audition and then help me, right?"
