Max: "Hey," Max murmured. The last time she'd been to the library today, she'd learned what punishment her father had chosen. But she didn't look overly sad. Max had accepted the punishment. It might be slightly cruel, but it was the way things were, and Max wasn't going to dispute her father's claims that other families did punishment like that too, because Max believed they did. Instead, Max looked very solemn, and just a tiny bit sad.
Daniel: Daniel grabbed the case straps and went back to the library. He went over to where River and Max were sitting. He smiled, drew over a chair, sat down, and opened the case. He pulled out a shiny acoustic guitar. He quickly checked the tuning. "I can play a few songs." He thought about what song he'd like to play. He decided on one and said, "One of my favorites to play is called Time of Your Life by a band called Green Day. I like it because it's mostly acoustics and voice, so when I play it sounds similar to the real thing." He warmed up his figers and then started to play. He sang the lyrics when the voice came in on the real song.
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life. "
Daniel was clearly enjoying playing the song, and his voice sang clear, his voice hinting at his recover from his accident moments before.
