Umi #237: Inspiration and Good Taste

Umi

(Hmm… I'm having quite a difficult time coming up with good lyrics today. The music doesn't fit with the words, and the transition still sounds awkward.)

Umi

(But I can't put my finger on what's not working. I suppose all I can do for now is write down every phrase that comes to mind. Something cuter…)

Umi

(“You're my bright, lovely cutie!” “I want a dream as sweet as gumdrops!” “Lovely, cutesy laser beam!” That's not too bad.)

Nozomi

Looks like someone's got their head in the clouds.

Umi

Eep! N-Nozomi?! Please don't scare me like that!

Nozomi

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Though you must have been pretty lost in thought to not notice me approaching.

Umi

No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about lyrics.

Nozomi

Ah, so our songwriter was hard at work. Sorry to interrupt you while you were in the zone.

Umi

Oh, no! Actually, it wasn't going so well. I've just been trying to write down any phrases that pop into my head.

Nozomi

Oh? So that's what all those words down there are.

Umi

Ack! Th-These are just, um, something like a first draft!

Nozomi

Oh, come on. Lemme see!

Umi

N-No, I can't let you.

Umi

I couldn't bear showing you these! They're far too embarrassing.

Umi

They're not done yet, so just hold off. I'll show you when they're done.

Nozomi

Heh heh. You know, when you put it like that, it just makes me want to see 'em even more.

Umi

Huh?!

Nozomi

Umiii? Be a good girl now and hand over the goods. Come on!

Umi

I-I'm not giving you anything! Please just go away!

Nozomi

The more you protest, the more I wanna see! *Giggle* If you don't play nice, I see a bear hug in your future!

Umi

Hey, wait! No! Nozomi, quit, that tickles! I said no and I meant it!
