Chapter 8: A Little Song

2 years after Alicorn's "Birth"

Erik enters the observation part of Alicorn's room. "What have we got today?"

"Well, Alicorn's got a violin." A female scientist says.

"Huh?" Erik looks through the window and sees Alicorn tuning a violin, she's grown and is now 4 feet tall. (121.92 cm)

"How'd she get that?"

"Well, she looked bored yesterday, so I gave it to her and a book on how to play it." A second female scientist says. "She read the book all night and now she's finally gonna play it."

"How well do you think she'll do?" The third female scientist asks.

Erik smiles. "Alicorn's very smart, and good at a lot of things. I think she'll play well."

Alicorn finishes tuning and she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.

Then she starts to sing. "Ru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru. Ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru, ah. Ru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru. Ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru, ah" Alicorn starts to pluck at the strings of the violin.

"Ru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru. Ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru, ah. Ru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru. Ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru, ah." Alicorn lifts up her bow and starts to play. 

"Inside of you there are wires red and blue
Those wires are what your heart is tied together by
Even in the wind with a voice seem unfading
Those words I'll utter, now I'm nurturing them
Time's the railroad ties
Wind is like soft skin
The star's the birthplace
People are just mirage
When asked why I'm crying I'll be able to answer
with something like tears
I can not keep up at all of what the meaning of it all is
that we met each other
This one body I have can not cry out enough
There was a heart that only trembled when it is only
touched by your hand
How many more meanings do we have to go pass so we can
arrive over there
It could be foolish, it could be ugly
There beyond the point of what is right
Even in the wind with a voice seem unfading
Those words I'll utter, now I'm nurturing them
Time's the railroad ties
Wind is like soft skin
Stars are the birthplace
People are just mirage
When asked why I'm crying I'll be able to answer
with something like tears
I can not keep up at all of what the meaning of it all is
that we met each other
This one body I have can not cry out enough
There was a heart that only trembled when it is only
touched by your hand
How many more meanings do we have to go pass so we can
arrive over there
It could be foolish, it could be ugly
There beyond the point of what is right."

Alicorn sets her violin down and stretches.

Erik and the three scientists are jaw dropped. 

"Holy Sh-!" 

"Language!"  Erik yells.

"Sorry." The first  female scientist rubs the back of her head. 

"How did she play so well?" The second scientist asks. "She's only had that for a day?"

"Well, Alicorn is amazing." Erik states.
