The Roof; Rather Late, Friday Night.

Chad was having difficulty sleeping. Not only did his body still seem to think it was on Japan-time, but he could swear his bed was creaking dangerously when he laid down on it as if groaning with complaint. That, and he was thinking about that audition. When he first saw the flyer, he thought he'd check it out just on a whim, see what other students were into music, that sort of thing. But the more he thought about it, the more he started to realize that, perhaps, he was really wanting to get in. Were there many other students who played bass? He imagined most of them who played probably played acoustic or electric, probably not bass. Or was that just his imagination transformed from hope? He wasn't very good, true, but he wasn't bad, either. If he was the only one, it was a sure thing he'd get it...if not...

...well, he'd better practise. So, finally having found his way to the roof, he sat with his guitar and headphones, practising to Primus blaring in his ears. If he could manage to do a decent job of keeping up to Les Claypool, this audition should be a breeze.

There was a small tug of a grin in the corner of Chad's mouth; that blush made him feel like he'd accomplished something. "Another point for my case," he said. "You can't listen to yourself if you're too busy talking."

"A good point. The problem is for me that even though words don't work well for me I always want people to understand things. But sometimes what I say just confuses them more."

Chad nodded, strummed a few more notes. "Just don't worry about it so much." It was his firm conclusion that a pretty girl like Ranma shouldn't concern herself with worry so much; he didn't like it when pretty girls were distressed.

"I try." He smiles a bit, his mind busy and not able to notice the odd lookd Chad's been giving him...

"But not too hard," he pointed out, lifting one of his big fingers.

"I don't see why not. Trying hard is important."

Chad shook his head. "When people try to hard, they can lose sight of what's really important."
