Darren ran into the familiar room quickly, late, as usual. He sat at the keyboard once more, dodging the guitar sitting against the wall. Not ten seconds after he sat in the stool, Darren was playing keys and fixing the setting on the piano. There were two mics, and Darren knew Heather was joining him but he couldn't see her at all.

He shrugged and figured she'd be there soon and picked up his guitar, resting it on his legs horizontally, Darren plucked at the strings and tuned it slightly before setting it back on the ground next to the keyboard.

Heather bursted into the room excitedly, she hadn't done this before. She wore Brittany's signature armwarmers, which were really cosy. "Hello! I see you haven't started without me." Heather took her seat beside Darren.

"Hey!" Darren grinned as Heather entered the room. "Nah, I think we have a few minutes." He added then yawned. He'd been shooting well into the early hours of the morning and hadn't had much sleep but he was happy as ever, excited toshare the next hour or so with his fans and Heather.

"Can't keep your fans waiting." Heather dropped her bag on the floor looked round the room. "So are you going to be singing and playing?" She ran her finger along the keyboard laughing at the melody she made.

"Um- Yeah." Darren laughed at Heather's tune. "Do you play?" he added, nodding to the keyboard in front of them.

Heather laughed, "No, that was my personal best." She repeated the little tune, giggling some more.

Darren laughed softly at his friend. "How about...." Darren reached for his guitar again. "...the guitar?" He asked. "Thirty seconds, guys." One of the camera crew said.

"No, bit of air and hero but that's it." Heather grinned, really excited now. "But maybe you can teach me a bit sometime."

Darren laughed at Heather's joke about the guitar and nodded. "Sure." He smiled and looked to his left at one of the guys who was trying to catch his attention. "Hooooly crap. We're on live? Okay. Hi guys!" He beamed at the camera. "Um- I'm Darren Criss. Just in case you stumbled across this intriguing little buckaroo and was thinking 'who the heck is that?'"

"That's like my favurite boardgame!" Heather enthused, feeling a bit weird talking to a camera that didn't respond but it was better with Darren there. "And I'm his friend Heather." She grinned and gave the camera a wave.

"And, in case you didn't know, we play Brittany and Blaine on Glee." Darren added, with a laugh at Heather's boardgame comment. "And we're here to entertain you guys in any way, shape or form. Hopefully, anyway. So we're gonna be singing a little bit, taking requests and generally making fools out of ourselves!" Darren grinned, he knew Heather hadn't done this before so he thought he should help with the introduction.

"Brittany and Blaine," Heather paused. "Sounds cool with the alliteration y'know." She smiled after rattling on a bit. She listening intentively to Darren's summary of the livestream and then Heather commented, "So, just being our normal selfs then."

Darren nodded and grinned at Heather. "Pretty much!" He agreed, still grinning at Heather. "Anyway," He turned back to the camera. "I guess we should probably tell you to put you phone number in the box right here and you might just get a call from us!" He pointed down toward where there was a box on the screens of everybody watching. "So I guess the first thing we'll do is... Should we take a request?" Darren asked Heather, lowering his voice a little as he asked her opinion.


(OOC: sorry I kinda get carried away. Feel free to make heather butt in whenever she feels like xD)

Heather was really nervous about the livestream, on the inside, she did a pretty good job of hiding it, she was a good actress. So she was grateful that Darren knew exactly what he was doing, or he seemed to anyways. "Yeah!" Heather agreed. "But.........why are we whispering?" She whispered with a quiet giggle.

Darren laughed an whispered 'I have no idea' back to her. He cleared his throat and turned to the camera again. "Okay so we're gonna take a request from one of you guys and, for those of you who were here last time, remember this?" Darren flicked on the familiar polka music tone once more and laughed inaudibly as he turns to the laptop beside them, which was filled with requests and quickly moving.

Heather laughed and turned back to the camera. When she heard the song, she knew it was a joke she didn't get, so she looked confused and gave Darren a skeptical look, before laughing at him. "Oh my god!It's going so fast, how do we choose? Oh Darren, It's hurting my eyes, you chose!" Heather complained before covering her eyes.

Darren laughed at Heather's rambling. "Okay.. Um... Oh! I remember you said you liked performing this one!" Darren smiled but it was gone. "Oh, it's gone. But it was Busy."

"Oh Yeah! I loved that, music video little creepy but over all an awesome song." Heather smiled. "What instrument you gonna use?" She asked.

Darren reached forward and quickly played the opening few chords of busy on the piano then decided on the guitar; it sounded better. He quickly flicked off the polka music and started to speak. "Okay so whererainbowsend, exactly how it sounds, requested Heather to sing busy. So that's what she's gonna do." Darren laughed quietly and leaned back from the mic, arranging his fingers on the neck of the guitar for the right opening chord. He started playing the tune, smiling.

Heather's eyes widened at that, she was singing on her own? She didn't want to ask and seem all scared, so she just hoped that he'd join in at some point. As soon as she heard the opening few chords of the song she smiled hugely and Heather's nerves were nummed. She took a deep breathe, held the microphone and smiled at Darren. "Weekends in bed, no scramble eggs, or bacon. I just have time for yooooou-ooooooo." Heather loved vocalizing on that part."Backs on the grass, heads in the clouds, we closed our eyes, Enjoy the vieeeeew-eeeeew."

Darren smiled back at Heather and listened intently as she sung the start of the song. When Heather vocalised the end of the second line, Darren's left hand held down the strings on the guitar so the notes stopped suddenly. He quickly started playing again as Heather started the next line.

Heather laughed when the guitar stopped and she was just singing on her own, it sounded really good. When she'd gotten the chuckle out of her system she went on "We don't wanna hear,
the real world passing by, saying that we're crazy." Heather sang that bit softly before raising her voice for the chorus, "We spend all our time, lying side by side, going nowhere, it's really something, getting busy, doing nothing. We spend all our time, running for our lives, Going nowhere, it's really something, getting busy, doing nothing." Heather loved the song especially for all the vocalizing she got to do on it.

Darren grinned as he listened to Heather singing. He joined in on the last 'doin' nothing' of the first chorus, still beaming.

Heather smiled even more when Darren joined in. She kept forgetting that she was infront of thousands of people, which was a good thing it meant she was less nervous. "No magazines or DVD's we both got better things to dooooo-ooooo, I'll hold your hand or shall we dance together, It's so hard to choose-ooooo. Every time we hear, the whole world rushing by I know that we're not crazy." She sang on, really enjoying it now.

Darren played a little louder for the second chorus but not enough to drown out their voices. "Cause we spend all our time lying side by side going nowhere, it's really something, gettin' busy doin' nothing,"
