Five and Klaus have been playing piano and singing together since before Five dissipated. With the apocalypse averted, they pick it back up again.

They piano lay, dusty and forgotten in the corner of the music room. They light from the doorway shone upon its surface. The lanky, army vest clad figure waltzed into the room, flicking the light switch as he came.
"Hello old friend", Klaus muttered, and sat at the worn bench. Dust poofed everywhere, flying onto the air like dandelion seeds. Hands wiped the dust away, letting the sleek black surface shine. The instrument let out a tune, like it had never been forgotten. Klaus's long fingers played with grace, years of practice resurfacing. Another person leaned against the door, soaking in the music.
"I walked across, an empty land. I knew the pathway by the back of my hand". Klaus's soft voice filled the room, accompanied by the piano.
"I Didn't know you learnt to play". Five spoke up form his place at the door frame. The music stopped, Klaus turning to face his brother.
"Well i wasn't going to ask any of the others to play, and you left, so i had to teach myself. Care to join little bro?". A grin graced his features. Five never could resist one-upping him.
He made his way over to the piano, taking a seat beside his bother. The seat that once held them both with room to spare was now filled, one being thing significantly bigger than the years before.
"Ill take the low, you take high and vocals. Just got from where you were up to". Music one again filled the room, with the high and low correlating in perfect harmony.
"I felt the earth, beneath my feet. Sat by the river and it made me compete". Five joined in to harmonise of the chorus, exactly like they did when they were younger.
"Oh simple things, where have you gone. Im getting old and i need something to rely on". Their voice matched in perfect harmony, one slightly deeper, huskier than the other.
"So tell me when, your gonna let me in. I'm getting tired, and i need somewhere to begin". Their sibling had gathered at the door, watching their two brother. They watched in silence, admiring the way they fell back into old habits. Klaus voice took over the second chorus.
"I came across, a fallen tree, I felt the branches of it looking at me. Is this the place, we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?". The rich harmony's of the two voices, combined with the piano way mystical.
"And if you have a minute why don't we go. Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything. So why don't we go, somewhere only we know?"
They piano carried the tune with silence of the two. The soft instruments were magical, and easy to listen to.
"Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on. So tell me when you're gonna let me in, I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin" The music carried on strong, the two completely immersed in the song.
"And if you have a minute, why don't we go. Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything, So why don't we go? So why don't we go?"
The notes softened, fading onto the soft high notes. Five stopped singing, focusing instead on the high notes, as Klaus carried on.
"This could be the end of everything. So why don't we go, Somewhere only we know. Somewhere only we know". The high note chimed softly into the room, clear as Christmas bells.
"Somewhere only we know?", The two voices filled the room, fading into soft piano with the lest note. As they finished, they finally noticed their siblings standing in the doorway.
"How much did your hear?" Five's face was tinted pink. Klaus was looking to the right of the door, where Ben was standing. He let his hand glow, letting the other's see and hear Their deceased brother. Ben smirked, looking at his siblings in the door way. They looked back at him,small smiles on their faces.
"The whole thing".
