*an eevee was walking around near the pool this lizard was in, just minding her own business, when suddenly she saw a bunch of bubbles near the pool, looking down and seeing that someone is down there, as she listened in more closely she can hear what appears to be singing, intrigued the eevee sits down near the edge of the pool, watching and listening to this lizard sing*

The lizard continues for about 20 seconds before surfacing, gasping more to just refill their lungs than actually catch their breath, preparing to head back down for another few verses. He doesn't yet notice the eevee.

*when the lizard surfaces that gave the eevee an opportunity to speak up*
"Hey!"

He jumps a bit, and looks at the eevee, blushing a little. "O-oh, hi! What's up?"

"Whatcha doing down there?? I could have sworn I heard singing..."

The lizard clearly gets nervous at this. "Um... N-no, that wasn't me, I was just hanging out down there. M-maybe my bubbles just sounded weird." It seems he doesn't want the eevee to know he was singing.

"Hmmm I can smell a lier pretty well, and I can tell your are... it definitely sounded like singing to me, you don't have to be so shy about it.."

He blushes a lot more. "...Y-yeah, it was me... I-I really don't like p-people hearing me sing, so I do it underwater..." He looks down in embarrassment of having been caught.

"I mean that's smart but doesn't that hurt your lungs? And I'm sure you sound just as good above water...I was rather intrigued by your singing skills"

"I-I'm good at carefully using my air for it. And, um... I don't really know how it sounds above water, I only really do it underwater..."

"Hehe, I'm sure you sound great! Yknow I've always wanted to get into singing, but I haven't really practiced it... and thoughts of singing underwater is a bit strange to me...heh"

"It's best when no one can hear you, so you can practice without worrying about bothering anyone. B-but I won't mind! You can try out singing underwater here if you want." The lizard's blush is slowly fading away as he gets more comfortable talking to the eevee about singing.

"Uhhh I may have said it's intriguing, but there's no way I'm actually gonna try it! I mean first of all I'm a horrible swimmer, and a terrible breath holder..." *the eevee blushes in embressment*

"I-I mean, you don't have to go deep... You don't even have to go fully under, you can just stick your head in. But, I understand, early on I had a hard time convincing myself to let the air out."

"Yeeeah I don't think so... I'm too nervous! Besides it's not often I even stick my own head underwater... I just more came to listen to your singing" *she blushes some more*

The lizard blushes again, but doesn't seem as nervous this time. "...O-okay... I-if you want to hear me, I-I'll try... But j-just keep in mind, it sounds better underwater. I-I think, anyway." He takes some deep breaths, trying to steady his nerves.

After a little longer, the lizard convinces himself to sing. He sounds decent, but it's clear he doesn't have much experience singing when he's not underwater. It's a fairly short song, and after he's done, he blushes heavily as he looks at the eevee to see whether they approve.

The lizard smiles, and the eevee can see his tail wagging under the water. "R-really? I've... N-never sung for anyone before... Y-you actually like it?"

@ lolboy4

"I do! You sound great! Now I am curious to see if it does sound better underwater... *sigh* if it wasn't for this stupid fear I would be able to go under" *the eevee is clearly disappointed by the fact she is terrible when it comes to water*

"Maybe, but that would just be kinda silly... you think you could try to help me submerge my whole body under? You seem to know what your doing with this stuff..."

"I can try... Maybe my singing can help you stay calm?" The lizard swims to the pool's shallow end and stands up.

"That's a possibility! I really wanna try... and you seem perfect for this" *the eevee comes a bit closer to the lizard*

Starting to very slowly go back into the water, the lizard starts singing again, this time going with a slow, calming song.

The song continues as the lizard gradually lowers himself and the eevee, hoping to get to the point that just his and the eevee's heads are still above the water.

*still calm, the eevee let's it happen, using their legs to stay afloat, thankfully not bad enough to sink, she looks up at the lizard with a shy smile, humming along to the song*

While he continues singing, the lizard points down in the water, asking if the eevee wants to try going under.

*that moment was a bit nerve racking to the eevee, but the calm singing from the lizard makes her more confident, so she softly nods her head in agreement*

The lizard interrupts his song just for a brief moment to get a deep breath, waiting for the eevee to do the same before he'd go under with them.

*the eevee takes a deep breath of air, holding it as she nods to the lizard that she's ready to submerge*

Kneeling down, the lizard submerges with the eevee, and resumes his song. Now that he's underwater, he sounds significantly better, his voice resonating in the water yet still coming through surprisingly clearly. The bubbles he exhales seem to harmonize with him, and almost look like musical notes as they float up to the surface.

*holding her breath the eevee was shocked at the sight of the lizard singing way better down here, she uses her hind legs to clap for the lizard, so impressed by his performance*

@ squirtlerocks07

He smiles as he continues, planning to keep his performance going until either he reaches the end of the song or the eevee wants to surface. This one breath lasts him for a good amount of time, though he eventually gets up a bit to refill his lungs before continuing.

*the eevee is stunned at the lizard's performance, she stayed down to listen to the lizard sing, making it all the way to the end of the lizard's song, but now she's low on air and goes up to surface, gasping for air*

@ squirtlerocks07

The lizard heads up with her, gasping as well, but not really out of breath. "S-so, what did you think? I saw that you needed air, and you still stayed the whole time."

@ lolboy4

"Unbelievable! That was...Unbelievable! I am stunned! I had to stay down all the way through the song cause it was amazing!! You've motivated me to try singing underwater too now, heh"

"If you've got time, we could get started right now! I can talk pretty clear underwater too, so we only really have to surface when you do."

(I plan on having this stop once they go back under together, sound good?)

(Uh sure I guess, whatever you want)
"Yeah! We can totally get started right now! Got nothing better to do!"

(I just have no idea how he'd be able to teach them to sing clearer underwater. If you want this to keep going, I can try to come up with something)

"Alright, get yourself a good breath, and head under. Not too deep, since you'll be going back up before too long." The lizard gasps and kneels on the bottom again.

squirtlerocks07

@ lolboy4

(I mean that is pretty tricky, maybe we just make it so the eevee be natural at singing clearly to make this easier)

"Alright, here it goes..." *the eevee gasps in a deep breath and goes under*

(Oh, that'd be neat, go for it!)

After the eevee dives underwater, the lizard begins his lesson. "Alriblght, let's see whblere you're at tblo start. Go ahblead and try singbling."

(You don't have to worry about adding lyrics, you can just sort of describe the song instead, like I did)

The lizard smiles at the eevee, willing to wait as long as it takes for her to start singing.

@ lolboy4

(Honestly I was thinking about doing that to make the roleplay more exciting but eh, I won't bother, I've got something else)
*the eevee closes her eyes and starts to sing, the song being "Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake" singing the beginning part and doing it shockingly clearly, music note bubbles also escaping her mouth*

The lizard's eyes go wide in surprise of how well the eevee is already doing for her first try, but doesn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt.

Holding onto her again, the lizard raises the eevee back up to the surface so she can breathe, coming up with her to talk clearly. "You're sure that was your first time, right? That was INCREDIBLY good!"

*the eevee gasps for air and blushes* "Heh, well...I guess I'm just a natural born singer... I mean I used to hum that song for a long time, I know all the lyrics and it sorta came natural to me... did you really like it that much?"

"Alright, we'll start from the chorus and go from there. I'll count us down once we're both underwater again." With another deep breath, the lizard kneels down again, submerging.

Smiling at the eevee, the lizard holds up 3 fingers, then 2, then 1. After that, he starts singing again, note-shaped bubbles leaving his mouth like before.

The two keep up their song until the lizard starts to blush, getting low on air. While he still doesn't want to interrupt himself, he doesn't really have a choice, quickly getting up and gasping another breath before heading back down to continue.
