If there is one thing and one thing only Julianne is proud of, it's her whistling ability.

Call her a songbird if you may, because to her there is absolute talent in sucking in fast air and altering it to that of beautiful music. And of course, when she starts whistling to songs she knows, she feels a little bit relaxed.

So, when she was trapped in the warehouse all day with a tired Erica, she couldn't help but absentmindedly whistle a song from Annie Get Your Gun.

And to say she was surprised when Erica started whistling along would say the least. "I"m quick on the trigger, with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint, I'm number one . . ." Erica Reed absentmindedly sang to herself. Suddenly, she heard the silence in the room and looked up to see Julianne blushing.

"I'm sorry," Erica apologized, not really knowing what to do. She also felt awkward and waited for the air to clear. "Uh . . ." she started, "That was one of my favorite musicals."

Julianne's face lit up. "Yeah me too."

Erica gave a little chuckle. " There was just something about that Frank Butler that made me swoon . . ."

Julianne smiled brightly. "Yeah. South Pacific was good too,"

"Oh my gosh!" Erica exclaimed. "I used to sing 'was that man right outta my hair' all the time in the shower! You know what my absolute favorite was though?"

Julianne leaned forward a little. "What?"

"The Fantasticks. I'm a sucker for scheming parents."

"Huh. Never pictured you as a Romeo and Juliet type of girl."

"What about you?" Erica asked, now genuinely interested.

"Well," Julianne blushed. "I don't wanna sound like a cliche girl or anything, but Phantom of the Opera was the best in my eyes. 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again.' was my favorite of all time."

Erica smiled and trailed off in thought. "I remember my mother showing me musicals that she owned on VCR, always singing along with them. How about you? How do you know so much about them?"

Julianne shrugged, liking the calm atmosphere they had going on now. "My ex boyfriend brought me to them all the time."

"Ex?" Erica raised her eyebrows. "Why is that?"

"I dumped him." Julianne sad shrugging, like it was no big deal.

Erica grinned like a mad man. "Why?"

"He was an idiot."

Erica let out the first real laugh in ages. Just as she was about to ask how he was an idiot, Charlie and Ray, Lloyd and Shea came bustling through the doors. "Erica! This is not time for lounging, get ready! Julianne, did you get those addresses?"

Julianne looked up for a brief second to smile at Erica. Erica tenderly smiled back.
