"Awe, otay." Brooklyn pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. At the mention of David being a musician though, Brooklyn's head perked back up again. "Yeah! Daddy's gonna be fa'ous! He gonna be a wock staw!" she squealed, attempting to do the rock star fist, but having her fingers get awkwardly put in the wrong position. David laughed at his daughter's cute attempt, and bent over to help her fix it. "I think you mean this, Brooky." he mentioned, gently positioning her fingers the right way this time. "Oh." Brooklyn cutely said, attempting it for a second time, this time succeeding. David just laughed again and shook his head lightly before turning back to Madison to answer her question himself. "Well, I guess you could call it that. I'm starting up a band actually. So far, I only have one other person, but we'll be holding up tryouts sometime soon hopefully." he explained thoughtfully. "Mostly I play alternative, or some sort of rock. I'd say that's more my style of music. But occasionally I'll play some R&B for Brooklyn."

"Really?" Madison asked, intrigued. "Your daughter listens to R&B? How mature. I thought she would have you playing songs like 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' or something like that." Very few of the little kids that she knew listened to any type of contemporary music, they seemed to prefer typical kiddie songs. Her godbrother and godsister were exposed to a lot of current music because they lived with a bunch of teenagers, but given the option, they would scream and beg to hear Old MacDonald. "Good luck with the band," she added. She could picture him playing in a rock band. He looked exactly like the rocker type.

David chuckled lightly. "Well, I change the words around quite a bit to something she'll like a lot more. I guess I should of mentioned that I write songs too." he shrugged, hoping Madison didn't find him too much of a show-off, but instead, impressed her even if it was a little bit. "And thanks. I'm sure we'll need all the luck we can get. Getting in the music business is a lot more rough than people think it is."

"Oh, I see. You're one of those starving artists types. Exactly what do you write songs about?" Madison wasn't really a huge fan of the starving artist lifestyle, but she couldn't help being curious. Her godsister was an aspiring musician and always seemed so angry and depressed most of the time. She knew that there were personal reasons behind her mood, but she wondered if all musicians were like that. "Yeah, I didn't think it would be that easy to break into show biz. Although if worse comes to worse, you can always get a reality show or something." She threw back her head and laughed a little, letting him know that she was kidding.

David furrowed his brows at Madison. Did she really think of him like that? Someone who would much rather worry and pay more attention to his music rather than to his daughter? "Oh, no. I mean, I don't think I would consider myself a starving artist. I mean, I do try to give the best for Brooklyn. No matter what, she's always number one on my list." he tried explaining himself, hoping that would change Madison's mind about him. Compared to some of the other woman he knew, Madison was definitely different. One of a kind. Which wasn't bad. It was a nice change of pace for him as a matter of fact. "Well, it sort of depends on my mood as for the songs that I write about. I try to go for real life situations mostly. Whether its something serious, humorous, love, my family or even Brooklyn sometimes." "I wike those song' best!" Brooklyn piped up, David just chuckling softly. "Yes, I know you do, Brooky." he cooed at her, before glancing back up to Madison again, giving another laugh at the recent joke she had just made. "Yeah, I guess that could always be in my future." he chuckled, returning the joke back at her.

Madison simply nodded as he explained himself. He was absolutely right. She didn't know him well, but she had seen Brooklyn enough times to know that she was well cared for. She was always clean and well-clothed when she came to school in the morning. She never appeared to be sick or hungry. "That's very good of you," she said, thinking of her own father again. She wasn't sure why her mind wandered to him. He had done some bad things, but he had provided for her and her sisters or at least attempted to. He sure as hell didn't write a song about me....that's for damn sure.... Her heart began to warm a little more. "I-I think the kids would really like if Brooklyn brought in some of your songs. I'm sure they'll love them as much as she does."

David gave a soft smile and nodded, mumbling out a small "Thank you" to Madison. It did seem like she was starting to warm up to him. Then again, that could just be his head wishing for that to happen. Normally he could tell if a girl really liked him yet or not. But with Madison, it was...more difficult than he had expected. "Yeah? You think they would?" he asked in return. He really didn't think about making little CD's for Brooklyn's class, but now that he thought about it, it did sound like a fun thing to do. He could have Brooklyn help him figure out what to play and write about. Now that was some good father-daughter bonding time they would both enjoy. "Hm...maybe I will make some CD's then." He turned to his daughter just then, his smile warming up even more, "What do you say Brooky? You wanna help daddy make some songs for your class?" "Ooo~! Yeah! I wanna he'p!" she squeaked, practically bouncing in her seat with excitement now. David chuckled, turning back over to Madison. "Guess that means I'm doing it!" he laughed.

"Yeah, I really think they would like it," Madison said softly, smiling back at him. She'd have to run it by the teachers first, but she doubted that it would be a problem, especially if it involved getting Brooklyn to fall asleep faster. "I guess that means you are doing it then." She couldn't get over how sweet it was that he was singing songs about his daughter. It was so touching that it nearly made her cry. That thought alone made her realize that it was time for her to leave. "I-I better go now," she said, getting up immediately. "It's getting late and I have stuff to do." She quickly redirected her gaze from David to Brooklyn. "Thanks for letting me tag along with you, Brooklyn. I'll see you in class tomorrow, alright?"

"Guess I am then." he chuckled, checking back at his phone for the time. It was starting to get a bit late. He still had to get Brooklyn home and wrestle her into her pajamas, not to mention wrestle her into bed too. "Yeah, we should probably get going too." he agreed, smiling wider when Madison interacted with Brooklyn again. "Yeah! I see yous tomowow!" Brooklyn squealed out, hopping out of her chair to hug the only part of Madison she could reach. Her legs. David chuckled. "It was good getting to know you." David finally said, reaching out for a friendly handshake, followed by nodding his head over to Brooklyn. "Come on Brooky. Time for us to head home too." "Awe, otay. Bye-bye Maddie." she waved, returning to her daddy's side again, reaching up for his hand to hold on to.

Madison bent over a little and reached down to wrap her arms around Brooklyn, her heart practically melting as the little girl said goodbye to her. "Bye-bye Brooklyn," she said as she waved back. She extended her hand to David and shook his, pulling away as quickly as possible. "It was nice getting to know you too," she added before turning towards the door. And that's the only time that you'll ever get to know me..... She politely waved one more time and headed out to her car.
