Exton

Ike settles herself on a stool and begins to strum her guitar. Her long hair falls to one side, gleaming pale green in the stage lights. The music is soft and the room quiets to listen.

Tori kisses Tannr and joins her sister. Her spiky red hair, tight jeans, and snug top a sharp contrast to Ike's soft blouse and flowing skirt. She picks out notes, following Ike's lead. The younger gar smiles and looks around until she finds Monty. His eyes meet hers and she begins to sing.

Sometimes it amazes me
how strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
You watch my love grow like a child
sometimes gentle, sometimes wild
Sometimes you take my breath away

And its too good to slip by
too good to lose
too good to be there just to use
I'm gonna stand up on a mountaintop
and tell the news
that you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
how strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
Your beauty is there in all I see
and when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know, you just take my breath away.

And its too good to slip by
too good to lose
too good to be there just to use
I'm gonna stand up on a mountaintop
and tell the news
that you take my breath away

Tori picks out the melody as Tori strums the harmonizing chords.Their eyes are closed lost in the music. As Ike begins to sing again both women find the rapt gazes of their lovers.

And its too good to slip by
too good to lose
too good to be there just to use
I'm gonna stand up on a mountaintop
and tell the news
that you take my breath away

Oh yes...
you take my breath away.

The music ends and the silence stays unbroken for about a minute.then there is scattered applause. As the women put aside their guitars Monty and Tannr head of the stage. Tori says something to Ike. Moments later their brothers are moving through the crowd to join them onstage.
