Charly's hand synced up with the piano perfectly matching each note that was Played. As He quietly sang the lyrics of Bohemian rhapsody.

Jade watched on, she Happily sang the lyrics alongside everyone. She watched a truly Brilliant performance for a true Star of Escura.

Charly was in awe. Up to the Last Note. Charly turned to Jade, She likes to see Him have a Genuine smile on his Face. a face full of Childlike Joy and Happiness.

She smiled back at him. She too enjoyed the Song, if there is two things that Charly and Jade can Agree on. is Cultured art and Queen.

"Thank you! Thank you! Please hold your applause!"

"Charly, You liked that One a lot to huh?" He Nods his head. "How about Miss Jade?" She also Nods. "well well! Let's Continue I have One more Song, and I need a Pianist for this One!"

Charly perks up. Jade knew what he wanted to do... Charly was hesitant. "Hey, you can Do this... Come on, we believe in Charly" he Looks around, All of his Friends gave a Thumbs up. Further more a certain Feminine Male shouted "Hey guess Charly Can do it! She knows how play Piano!"

And Everyone, gave an Encouraging look. "Power Friendship..." Charly Face palmed, Jade now has the Cheeky smile.

And he didn't want to look like a A massive coward to Everyone. He stood up. He was fine if he wasn't going to sing it's ok At least he can show- "thanks! I guess it's a Duet!" His world Broke. His Hearts began to Pump up.

Too late now. He was in the middle of going upstairs. He stayed calm and Collected... He Walks along the stage, Like a true Champ. Nero Walks up to him and whispered. "Don't Worry... I'm sure you know this quite well"

He sat down on the piano and the sheet music... Did he know well, He played the first note, and soon he was meet with a Guitar and later a Harp.

"Love of my life you've hurt me..." Charly sang, the Audience Screamed as they were Blown away! even Miss Nero was Enamored by His Soft and Quiet Voice, It was Angelic. Although this isn't their First time hearing speak It was Certainly their First hearing Him sing.

Nero snapped back to her Senses and continued to sing. Charly just sang his Parts and She sang her parts.

When they Finished... Charly looked out into the audience, everyone Was In a trance, surprised and overjoyed!

"And that is your first performance for the day ladies and Gentleman! A marvelous return to the stage by Miss Anne!" The Curtains falls and a 5 minute Break began.

Charly walks Backstage.

He was still a bit Shaken up and couldn't think straight. Nero ran to Her. "You were amazing!!!" Charly's social skills were Falling apart. His senses were Overflowing with Emotions and thoughts.

"Charly? Did I say something wrong?"

"KiKi!!! you actually did it! I so Proud of you!!!" (Good job you did out there Bud) he was surrounded by his Friend, giving their kind words.

"Oh Right! Autographs!" Everyone quickly turned their attention to Nero.

Jade walked over to him, she could see the emotion in his language and face.

"Hey... You did well out there, And we are all proud for you!" Charly smiled, Jade Hugged him, he sighed and hugs her back. "Group hug!" Chilly Called. Jade manage to squeeze out of there.

"I see..." Nero said. "What...?" Jade asked. "He has Good Friends, Isn't Great?" She said.

"It is..." Jade smiled at her friends "I wished I had friends like that..." "Don't you already have friends?"

"Well there not exactly the Greatest..." She said with a sorrow face... She already what to do.

"I think you and Charly will get along just fine..." She said with a smile. "You think so?"

"Coming from the first friend He made... Yeah I think so" Jade giggles. "You both like music and are Good partner together" she said.

Nero nods, "I'll try too" "tell you what, you can come to the Council room later, for lunch, there both you can talk!"

Domi sweeps away in the floor when her curious phone decides to Ting, she checks it and... "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She fell to her knees. Kori walks in with a swapper. "Kori! I missed something important!!!! I am a failure of a Mother!" She showed him the Video of Charly singing and performing on stage.

"I wasn't there!!!" She cried. 'Good on him I'm Proud,' his face didn't reflect it.

He goes to check in the baby, and leaves her to her misery.

Charly took some time to Cool off... A bit, "hahaha! Charly really Did well! It's been while Since I heard you sing proper!!!" Riley said.

"Yeah!!! Charly for the win!" Ana Ruffled his hair. Charly Felt happy very Happy.

"Let's give Him a treat!" Heal suggested.

"Hey!" And right back to their normal teasing.

Charly sat down on the pile of Food that his Friends brought for him. "that's quite a lot of Food, Can you eat all that all?" Jade asked. Charly wasn't really sure.

"Hehehe, You've made Great friends" she said. "They're you're Friends too" Charly Nods at that.

"Yeah, I know" She smiled. She Stood up "I'll be right back" she Said.

Charly nods. he Checks his Phone. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

The doors Opened again, Charly almost Jolted, As the School's super star stood Infront of him. He was Rather starstruck.

Charly needed a Breather. He got up and Excused himself. "Charly wait-" he speeds walk Passed them. Angelice walks by. "Did you have to Embarrass... Haaaahhhh" Angelice was also starstruck. "Not you too"

"Did I do something wrong?" Nero asked. "No! No! You didn't! He's just Nervous! I'll go find him! Wait here!"

Jade left her with Angelice. "ho- hold Now! Miss Jade!-" she turns to Nero, who looked at her with a smile.

"Haaahhh!!! Make yourself at Home in the Council room!!!" Angelice speeds walks away.

Jade Stopped near the stairs Charly Was sitting down on the steps.

"There you are!" Charly sighed. She took a deep Breath, she sat down next to him.

Looks like she'll be direct. "I'm sorry..." Charly said. "For what?"

"For Earlier" he closed his mouth. "It's alright... She just wants to Be friends"

He knows that. "I panicked is all,"

"That's My fault sorry" she laughed. "But why?" She looked at him Curiously.

"Well... Because of what you did, on stage, You gave an amazing performance" He didn't think so. "You need to Believe in yourself Charly..."

She knows that It'll be tough for him. "but... You don't trust yourself at least Put your Trust on us! Because no matter what. We as your Friends will be there for you!" Charly understands...

"Hey. Look me" she forced him to look at her.

"Promise me you'll have Faith...?"  Charly nods. "I will" a unnoticeable red streak formed on his face.

"Thanks" she smiled.

They both got up and walked back to the Council office.

Charly was tired and the room was cold... Perfect place for a nap no? He sure thought it... Charly laid on the couch and closed his Eyes. These past events were quite something.

"Charly? Charly. Charly!" Jade's face was what he saw.

"Wake up, Come let's go home"
