Mike stands at the end of the piece, and applauds loudly with whistles.
You GO girl!

Applauding as well.
Mike is probably the head cheerleader for the ship. Matter of fact he manages the ship Baseball team. Last I heard he's looking for a Pitching Ace. Why don't you have a talk with him.

She smiled.
2 years ago on Starbase 140, you played on the Strikers. You had a no hitter going into the 9th, until an unimposing Ensign hit a solo shot over the right field wall.
She smiled deviously.

She continued to sit in the chair on the side of the stage, her right leg over her left. Her right foot moving to the theme of the music, moving with each key stroke Anise was making. Yuna knew Anise was coming up to a complicated part and listened as she went through it with no problems. She smiled a bit, impressed with Anise's skill. She didn't think this particular piece of music could be played on an organ. It appears she is wrong
The tempo of the song went into a louder pitch again and she could emotions rising with it. She felt a surge of adrenaline as the piece was quite moving
Anise ended the stirring rendition with another long cord then the organ fell silent. When she got up and looked to her and the others for their reaction, Yuna simply stood and applauded heartily, with a look of satisfaction and pride for Anise. She was quite an accomplished musician and Yuna wished she could be as good as Anise
She glanced out at the audience as she heard someone cheering loudly and proclaimed "You GO Girl!" and she couldn't help but giggle. She didn't understand the term but she could feel the person was quite pleased and enjoyed the music
As the applause died down, she could hear the topic switch from music to baseball and this perked her interest a little but her attention remained on Anise "That was truly wonderful, Anise" She called out

She blushed a bit with the 'You GO girl!' part, and admittedly laughed from it.
"Thank you! I want all of you to know that I greatly enjoy being able to play for an audience. It's not often that I get to, considering how busy we get with our respective duties. I count it as an honor and a privilege.
I realize some of you may be a bit surprised at finding out that our security chief has this side to her. The truth is, before I got into security, I had always wanted to be a concert pianist/organist. And so I literally practiced every day, sometimes irritating my siblings when they wanted quiet.. This is the result of all that practice.
I hope that the opportunity comes up for more of these concerts. I would welcome the chance to play again."
She would move back toward the piano, and she would glance at Yuna, having an idea.
~Would you happen to know the words to an old Earth song called "Faith of the Heart"?~

Yuna listened as Anise addressed the crowd, thanking them for cheers of support and told them that it's not that often she gets to play as all our duties keep us pretty busy
I realize some of you may be a bit surprised at finding out that our security chief has this side to her. The truth is, before I got into security, I had always wanted to be a concert pianist/organist. And so I literally practiced every day, sometimes irritating my siblings when they wanted quiet.. This is the result of all that practice." Yuna laughed a bit when she revealed that she irritated her siblings with her desire for music. She too had a desire for music. She always wanted to sing and her mother encouraged her all the way. Yuna, as well as her mother, was quite surprised when she ended up with a career in Star Fleet
I hope that the opportunity comes up for more of these concerts. I would welcome the chance to play again." Yuna also hoped there would be more opportunities for Anise to play. She loved listening to music
She felt Anise's mind brush hers and then Anise's voice in her mind. She gasped in delight as a smile went from ear to ear ~ Yes, I do! It's one of my favorite songs from Earth ~ She sent back to Anise and she sat back down at the piano. Yuna's eyes met with Anise's as she looked her direction ~ Can you lead me into that song and I can sing it? ~

"I thought it'd be a good opportunity to add an extra element to the concert. A couple of days ago, I learned that a member of our crew loves to sing. With that in mind, I thought she could get that opportunity this afternoon to sing for everyone.
At this time, I'd like to call on Yuna Tremayne."
Anise would give Yuna a look similar to the grin of a Cheshire cat as she sat down once again at the piano.

When her name was called, she blushed a bit then tried to control the sudden nervousness she felt. She closed her eyes to get the feeling for the song then gave a nod to anise to start
As Anise started into the Intro, she walked out more center stage and stood by the piano
"It's been a long road Getting from there to here It's been a long time but my time is finally here I can feel the change in the wiind right now Nothings in my way and you're not gonna hold me down no more no, you're not gonna hold me down"
She started out a bit weak as she had been fighting the butterflies in her stomach. Now, as the song picked up tempo, her confidance picked up as well. Her nervousness fell to the wayside
"cause I've Got Faith Of the Heart Going where my heart will take me I've got Faith... to believe I can do anything I've got strength.. of the soul No one's gonna bend or break me I can reach any star I got Faith I got Faith Faith of the Heart"
As she continues singing, Holographic images begin playing an an unseen screen behind Yuna and Anise
As she finished the song, she held the note for a moment then stoppped, feeling a bit out of breath and her face flushed with excitement. her eyes lit with pure joy

Playing with her, she enjoyed the song alot, and even though she was not confident in her singing ability, she could not help herself. Before she realized it, she was joining Yuna on the chorus part, while playing. Much to her own surprise, it came out very well.
"'cause I've Got Faith Of the Heart Going where my heart will take me I've got Faith... to believe I can do anything I've got strength.. of the soul No one's gonna bend or break me I can reach any star I got Faith (I've got... I've got... I've got...) I got Faith Faith of the Heart"
After the final time through, she added the final notes, and held it as long as she could before pulling her hands from the keys.

As Yuna started in with the Second Chorus, she heard another voice join in with hers. With a look of surprise, she looked back to Anise, realizing she was singing along with her, which inspired her confidance even more. Yuna sent a smile toward Anise as she continued
When the song ended, she sent a message to Anise ~ See, we can make beautiful music together ~ she thought to Anise in an amused tone

She is caught a bit off-guard when the com went off.
"Oh great..." she mutters to herself.
"I want to thank everyone for coming. Unfortunately, duty calls..
Computer, save video from the concert performance and transfer to my personal database."
She gets up from the piano and looks at Yuna, before heading toward the stairs.
"Computer, exit."

Her good mood went down a few pegs when she heard the announcement that all senior staff report to the Captain's ready room "oh poot." she muttered, feeling the disappointment all around that duty calls
She heard Anise thank everyone for coming but again duty calls. Anise then asked the computer to save the concert and save to her personal files
Yuna started to go but turned back to Anise as she got up from the piano "Save a copy for me too, Anise or can I come watch it with you when we next have off duty"?
She asked as both Anise and Yuna exited the holodeck for the Captain's ready room
