The church where the funeral would be held was huge. The inside looked like a concert hall. There were only a few tech people there and she and Y had to do a sound test. He played the piano for a while and they got the sound to echo beautifully throughout the room.

Robin couldn’t help but to be surprised by his ability. He wasn’t just a dabbler at the keys--the man knew the piano.

After that she was instructed to sing. She did a few test song snippets and at one point Y accompanied her on a few of them. For an hour the two of them jammed out while the technicians and funeral workers put up the finishing touches.

Y abruptly ended the session. “Don’t tire your voice. The main performance is in a few hours. Let’s get something to drink, I’m thirsty.”

“Yeah, me too.” She didn’t mention that she’d puked up most of her water reserve this morning.

They left the church and walked a short distance to a small restaurant where they sat at an outdoor piazza and talked. Robin discovered that Y’s mother was a pianist and had taught him to play from the moment that he had taken his first wobbly foot step.

People began to gather for the funeral and people looked at them expectantly, knowing that they were ‘important’ but not quite how they were associated with Akita Tom. Y purchased a newspaper and he read to her an article in the entertainment section that talked about today’s funerals and the list of stars expected to attend.

Robin was pleased to see that she recognized some of the artists attending, and then she remembered that she would be performing in front of movie stars and famous musicians and she felt herself begin to panic.

With shaking hands she called Jason on her cellphone.

“Babe, do you know all the famous people that are going to be here today?”

“Not really,” he replied.

She frantically filled him in on the list of guests but instead of freaking out as she was he seemed pleased.

“Jason! I’m going to be singing in front of people whose music is in my Mp3 player at home!”

“Alright. We’ll be at the church in half an hour. Breathe, honey. Remember how you used to tell me? Breathe and I’ll be there before you know it. Is Y there?”

Robin looked across the table at Y who was watching her. “Yeah.” She replied. “He’s here.”

“Let me speak to him.”

Robin passed him the phone and Y talked to Jason in hushed tones. Robin heard him say, ‘she isn’t.’ But mostly he said okay repeatedly. “We’ll meet you in the sanctuary. Yeah, it will be quiet, no ones allowed in there. Bye.”

“What?” She asked anxiously.

“Jason said to take you to the sanctuary and to play Daft Punk.”

A smile slowly filled her face. She threw her head back and laughed. Damn she loved Jason. No one knew her better than him.

When Jason and the others reached the church’s sanctuary, Robin had on earphones and was bobbing her head to the beat of One More Time by Daft Punk.
