Lil Auggie
Any requests, milady?

Lil Tay Tay
Hmm, something soft, maybe.

Lil Auggie
You got it!

[August begins to play a tune that sounds a lot like Autumn Leaves] 

Lil Tay Tay
That sounds nice

Lil Auggie
Yeah?

Lil Tay Tay
Mhmm

Lil Auggie
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Lil Tay Tay
I really like that!

Lil Auggie
It might be one of my favourite songs

Lil Tay Tay
Really? So, you like jazz?

Lil Auggie
I love it! Unironically

Lil Tay Tay
It's pretty great, isn't it?

Lil Auggie
Absolutely!

Lil Tay Tay
So, what else have you got?

Lil Auggie
[August's fingers fumbled over the keys, playing random melodies, improvising and figuring it out as she played]

Lil Tay Tay
Like I said, you're the best background noise 

Lil Auggie
[August smiled and started humming along to the tune, writing a melody on the spot]

Lil Tay Tay
[Taylor looked up from her food for a moment, watching August who was too focused on her piano playing to realise. She smiled, watching the other girl figure out the song].

Lil Auggie
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body....

[August slowed down for a moment, thinking about the next words before singing...]

Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all

Lil Tay Tay
[When August had stopped singing but played the melody again on the keyboard, Taylor hummed the same tune again as words started pouring into her mind]

And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

Lil Auggie
[August looked up, her eyes wide]
Are we writing a song?

Lil Tay Tay
I think so, [Taylor laughed softly and August joined in]
