Chapter 112 Moonlight

Tuesday, November 10th

Theo woke up in his comfy bed early in the morning.

Last night he went to sleep late as he was working on the album with Aurora.

So, he was sleepier than usual as he woke up.

But he shrugged off the sleepiness and got out of bed.

He started his morning routine.

He took a shower and went outside to run on the lane surrounding the lake.

Then he did his martial art exercises in the gym.

When he finished working out, he was all sweaty and tired.

But finally felt that the day started.

he felt invigorated and ready to face another day.

He took another shower and went towards the kitchen to cook for Aurora.

When he was finishing cooking breakfast and her lunch, he heard Aurora arriving in the kitchen.

"Good morning, big brother!" Aurora said with a sweet voice.

"Good morning, cupcake!" Theo smiled at his sister.

He placed the dishes on the table and they started having breakfast.

"How did you sleep?" Theo asked as he sipped his coffee.

"We went to sleep too late and I almost didn't hear the alarm. Thank god, Sylph woke me up." Aurora said exasperated as she passed the butter on the bread.

As an efficient butler, Sylph was aware of their schedule and her responsibility was to assist Aurora and Theo.

"Yeah, it happened with me too." Theo laughed.

"And it doesn't help that my bed is super comfy. I feel like I will melt when I sleep." Aurora exclaimed.

"Oh, I feel the same!" Theo laughed.

"So, what did you think about the music album?" Theo asked as he bit a toast.

"It was so fun! I wanna keep helping you, big brother!" Aurora said excitedly.

"Then, we will keep our singing classes when we have free time." Theo said.

"Yay!" Aurora celebrated.

"I was thinking about how to insert you in the album and I found the perfect way." Theo said with a smile.

Aurora stopped eating and looked at him with curious eyes.

"You will be an independent singer. And you be listed as a feat singer in a couple of songs."

"We will sing together in a duet. So, you better think about your stage name."

"It's better if you preserve your real name and just use a fake name to be your artist name."

"After all, the music world is crazy and it's better if we preserve our real names."

"I will do the same thing."

Aurora was stunned when she heard that.

She would be a singer!

And she would be featured in two songs!

She was nervous and excited when she heard that.

It was a huge challenge but she was up for it!

She was also excited when she heard that she had to create a stage name.

Multiple possibilities passed through her mind.

"After I release my album, I will help you produce your own music album. So, you better pay every attention possible to the production of my album." Theo said with a smile.

"What??" Aurora shouted in bewilderment.

She couldn't believe what her brother said.

Her own music album!

She became super nervous about releasing an album, after all, she never did something remotely related to it.

It was much more challenging than featuring two songs in her brother's album.

She started having multiple doubts about herself.

'Am I good enough? Will anyone like it?…' She was lost in these thoughts.

"Cupcake, I believe in you!" Theo said with a determined voice.

When Aurora heard that and looked at his smile, she stopped spiraling.

His smile could calm the waves of doubts in her heart.

'I will make you proud, big brother…' She thought.

"Thank you!" Aurora said with a sweet smile.

"And don't worry about it. I will help you with everything. So, you will just have to help and tell me what you would like in your album." Theo said gently.

"You're awesome, big brother!" Aurora exclaimed.

Theo was happy to see that she was not nervous anymore.

"So, what name will be your stage name?" Aurora asked with shining eyes.

She was super curious to know it.

After all, this name would be famous throughout the world she was certain about it!

Theo didn't reply immediately, he sipped his coffee and smiled.

"It will be MoonLight." Theo replied.

Theo always loved the moon and in this life, he was blessed with silver eyes and hair just like the big star in the skies.

So, what better name than this?

It was stylish and catchy.

He was sure that the name would be a success.

"That's a great name, big brother!" She exclaimed.

She thought it fitted perfectly with her brother's personality.

She started having ideas about her stage name.

Aurora wanted a name that was as good as her brother's.

They finished having breakfast and Aurora said goodbye to Theo.

"Bye, be careful!" Theo said.

"I will be!" Aurora shouted back while smiling as she entered the elevator.

Another great day was beginning for her.

Theo observed as his sister went away.

"Sylph, can you clean the dishes?" Theo asked.

"Yes, Master!" Sylph replied.

Theo stood up and walked towards the recording studio in the house.

He didn't have to go to the Umbrella's office as Sam took care of the company for him.

He also couldn't start working on the animation studio because the Studio's building was still in construction and Ryoko was still establishing the company.

Next week, everything would be ready and he could start working on the animation studio.

But this week he could solely focus on the music album.

So, he wanted to take advantage of this 'free' week and progress the production of the album.

Arriving there, he took the electric guitar and opened the computer.

He wanted to perfect his skills in the essential instruments.

The electric guitar tends to be one of the more complicated stringed instruments as far as components go. Much more so than its counterpart the acoustic.

The parts of an electric guitar include everything you'd find on an acoustic, plus many extra to pick up vibrations from the strings and turn them into electronic signals that an amplifier can play.

In pop and rock music, the electric guitar is often used in two roles: as a rhythm guitar, which plays the chord sequences or progressions, and riffs, and sets the beat (as part of a rhythm section); and as a lead guitar, which provides instrumental melody lines, melodic instrumental fill passages, and solos.

In a small group, such as a power trio (a band with a lineup of electric guitar, drums, and bass), one guitarist switches between both roles. In large rock and metal bands, there is often a rhythm guitarist and a lead guitarist.

With the importance of the electric guitar in pop songs, Theo needed to be skillful in the instrument.

After all, some songs he wanted to put on his album had this instrument played beautifully.

And the best thing was that by learning how to play the electric guitar, Theo would also learn how to play the acoustic guitar.

When all is said and done, an acoustic guitar is a simplified version of an electric guitar.

Theo spent the day learning how to play the instrument.

And his progress could be seen visibly.

Theo went to work in the restaurant that day in a joyful mood.

He went from someone who didn't know anything about it to someone who looked like playing the instrument for a year.

He predicted that by the end of the week, his skill in playing all the instruments, he wanted to learn how to play, would have jumped to the point where it looked as if he played them for years.

His album was starting to take shape!
