You look around and realize you are back at home....alone. [[Go play your performance]] "We're actually here" your sweetheart grabs your arm tightly, and you walk inside and have a seat in the 3rd row from the front. Up front in center is a grand piano.

The Planets dance to your music, but they may soon colide when out of tune with each other." [[Go play your performance]] [[FUCK MUSIC!
