Xavier shook his head.
"Nope. Nothing else. Just six-string guitar. I tried bass for a while...didn't like it much. I -do- have some talent at mixing, though. I made a custom techno soundtrack from some of my favorites."

"Oh, that sounds rather neat." Stevie said. "I don't really know anyone who's mixed before. It sounds pretty neat." she smiled a little bit. "I tried my hand at music for a while, but I just wasn't really good at it." She shook her head a little. "The passion was there, but the talent just wasn't."

Xavier smiled.
"Well then I'll just have to help you."
Xavier leaned the guitar against the wall once again and got up, motioning Stevie to do the same.

Hesitantly, Stevie followed his lead, she was a little embrassed. She didn't play the guitar, she had played the Piano for several years, but as she had said, she just didn't seem to have the knack for it.
"I should warn you, I haven't played in several years...The Piano just wasn't right for me." She hesitated.

Xavier laughed.
"That's okay. I have an idea to help you feel more comfortable."
Xavier put the guitar's strap around Stevie's shoulders and took out his wand, whispering a spell close to it and soon sparks flew from the tip, landing on Stevie's fingers. He spoke.
"'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin."
Suddenly Stevie's hands moved on their own, quietly playing the guitar portion of Stairway to Heaven. Xavier smiled.
"This should help you learn. I can increase or decrease the intensity of the spell, resulting in different levels of self-playing. The lower the level, the more the person has to be involved. The higher the level, the more automated the playing becomes. I'll teach it to you later. Just name any song you can think of and your fingers will start playing it."

Stevie had been surprised when he had put the strap over her rather frail shoulders.
"Oh my!" She said laughing. This truely was a nifty spell. She tried to think of a song. "Um, Dream on?" She questioned. She couldn't help but laugh gleefully as her fingers took over the song.

Sam sitting there fineshing up some shadeing and laughing at her friend Steive. The drawing looked fine so she stood up and walked over.
"Ah, Stevie, your an astronomer, an Ice Skater, and now a Rock Star, I thought friends were soposed to know these things before hand." She said to her.
Sam looked at the drawing pad and at the guy. She made a few slight changes and..perfect. "Oh, uhm, I probably should have asked, I think there may be privacy rights against drwaing random people, but your name is Xavier right?" She asked writing something at the bottom of the page.

Stevie giggled. "Oh Sam, I'm sorry, I'll make sure your the first to know these things from now on. I'll be good." She finished the song, and began to hand the guitar back to the boy. "On second thought, I don't think I'd be a very good rock star."
"Thank you. And please, do teach me that spell." Her smile widdened.

"Well once I teach you to skate, then you can sing and skate. The best of both yes?" She grinned a little. "And if that's a sketch book, it appears you sketch as well." She tried to peek over her shoulder.
"Can I see?"

She motioned to Stevie and showed her the picture of Xavier and his godly pose, making sure he couldn't see it."What do ya think?"

She smiled warmly. "I think that's a striking likness actually." She praised. "Your quite good. I can't draw at all." She made a face.
"My mother likes to paint, and draw. I can't even draw a straight line. Needless to say, I fear my stick figures are lacking." She shook her head.

Xavier slid into position behind the two girls and peered silently over their shoulders at the picture of his likeness. It wasn't bad. He grinned and clapped his hands.
"I like it. Is it done yet?"
Xavier began strumming on the strings of the guitar again and he plucked out the melody to "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts".

Stevie laughed. She couldnt help it. That song always made her laugh. "I'm sorry!" She apologized. "I always feel like such an idiot, when that song plays. I burst out laughing like a dolt." She rubbed the back of her neck, and smiled sheepishly. "It's a long story." She mumbled, feeling remarkably dumb.
