Episode 4
~Ian~
Today's Tuesday, and still no lead singer. So this is the band so far:
David is manager
Gavin on bass
Me on second guitar
Anthony on drums
and Chris on lead guitar.
I just realized we also need someone on the keyboard. Great now thats two things we're looking for. Chris gets up
finally. I wonder what's going on in his mind. "Chris, so about last night with Amber-" Chris interupted, "It's alright! Are you guys stupid for letting her in! You guys know that I get all
lovey and stuff. So when she's in the band, there is no way! Absolutly NO WAY that I can sing or play guitar when she is around."
Gavin gives him a noogie so he could shut up, but Chris looks like he's not telling us everything.
"Chris," I say, "Are you sure this whole bevaior is not just because of Amber?"
"Yes!" he yells, "I'm
SURE of it!"
I'm really kind of glad that Chris didn't let Amber in the band. She is pretty, but her voice needs more work. It's okay, but she need a tad bit of practicing to do. "So, you guys want to look for more people?"
David enters and looks down, "Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I was looking for a lead singer."
"Hehe," Gavin starts, "Aren't we all?"
"So let's go out somewhere!" I yawned, "The only thing we need to do is find a great singer...
coughpianist too
cough"
Everyone looks at me then at Anthony's keyboard and scream.
~Amber~ in Tifany's (her friend) mansion.
sigh Okay, the band didn't accept me, so oh well. There goes Tiff walking around the bed. "Hey, Tiff you okay? You haven't said a word since I've came here."
"Yeah, I'm okay, I'm just thinking about school."
I laugh my a** off. She never thinks about school, it's always shopping, boys, and cheerleading. "Are you serious!?! That's what you're thinking about!?! HAHA!!" All I could do was laugh, for this not like her. "STOP," Tiff yells at me, "YOU'RE SO.. UGH!!" She then throws a pillow on my face, luckly it was soft. That would've hurt me. Tiffany beagn to give a glare and said, "You should've taken no for an answer, you got a great voice for the band." I shake my head in disbelief, "You're the crazy one. I need more practice to be as good as you." As soon as I said that she laughed and smiled. I wish I didn't say that, she's getting cocky.
Here we go again, I thought.
"Tiff, I did want to be in the band, I did try my best."
"Amber, Amber, Amber - Silly Amber - You do know Chris likes you, why don't you use it as your advantage. Look at you! You're pretty for crying out loud!"
I giggle, because I forgot how Chris is a lover boy, and he gets weak around me. "True, starting on school auditions, I'll try again."
"I know what will get your mind off of that stupid band."
I see Tiffany taking out a silver bell out of her pocket and she begins to ring it and yells out for one of her maids, "Carolyn, Carolyn!"
Carolyn walks in with a maid outfit, "Lady Tiffany, you do know you can use my first name, not my second name right?"
I turned my head to Tiff and Tiff walks closer to Carolyn and says to her, "I know, I just don't want to," and pushes her out of the door, "Come on Carolyn, go get us some tea. Go to the cafe shop all the way on the other side."
I shake my head again, Tiff is so hard on the girl so I interrupt, "Tiff, that's too far! She's only a little 14-year-old-girl!"
The young maid slightly smiles and shakes her head, "It's alright ma'am, I can manage to walk there, It's kind of like my daily walks."
"No no no Carolyn," I tear out a piece of paper from my notebook and write down the address of the cafe where Chris and his friends go to, "Go to this place, the tea is great there, and it's also a place for karaoke.
5th avenue and Johny lane" Carolyn smiles and curtsies, then walks away, taking her brown coat.
Tiffany hits the top of my head then laughs, "You're such a biyatch."
I giggle knowing it's the truth, "Yea, but don't tell that to her. I can use her for my game."
"Like I said, pure biyatch."
"Proud of it gal friend."
~Gavin~
We're at the cafe for our karaoke gig, we just play the music while the wanna be singers sing. This will be painful for my ears. All of a sudden I see Chris smiling, finally!
"Dude," I scream out to Chris, "What's us? You're smiling now."
"I'm just thinking that we might actually find a singer for the band."
"Are you kidding? These people are a bunch of wanna be's. I've heard them and luckly survived."
David laughs, and begins calling people in to sing "Hello singers! It's singing time! We welcome new people too!"
Few minutes later, I see a girl about 12 years of age and pointed at her, "Sorry little girl only 13 and up!"
She seems to look confuse and points at herself and I continue, "Yes you! You shouldn't be here!"
She giggles and smiles, "Dude, chill. Add 2 to the number you just said I was. That's my actual age."
"Take off your coat!"
"Uh, no thank, I don;t like what I'm wearing right now."
"Okay girl, then we'll take it out for you..."
"Don't you even dare, I'm just gonna get some tea and deliver."
David smiles and grabs the girl by the hand, "Deliver huh? Then show us what you got!"
She blushes and tries escape David's pull, but is unable to and says, "W-wait! I don't know what to do!"
Ian helps David to bring her up the stage and screams, "Just sing! You don't look like a 14 year old girl. If you sing, and we like it, we'll believe your word on your age."
Chris is laughing his a** off while I get ready to play the bass and he asks the girl, "So, what song?"
She grins and walks up to the stage, "Gimme' the mic," and she stand up center stage, "Do you know
Killing Me Soflty by Roberta Flack?"
David walks to the wall and leans to watch, and the crowd starts cheering saying, "Newbie! Newbie! Newbie!" And Chri's eyes just stares at the noob blankly then nods. Anthony comes in and disagrees, "I don't know that song!"
The new girl sighs and then starts to think of other songs, "hm.. uh... OO!!
Never Ending Dream by Cascada!"
We all nod and begin to play and she sings,
I'm waiting for the night drifting away
On the waves of my dreams to another day
I'm standing on a hill and beyond the clouds
The winds blowing still and catching my doubts
I'm hunting on the night the slave to my dream an illustrated seen decends in the steam
We're playing for the fights emotional games
I'm turning off my eyes and hiding my shame
A neverending dream a dream of you I believe I received a sign of you
tonight I want to hide my feelings too
as you do and I want to be with you
....
Oh damn.. She can sing and dance. Who the hell is this girl? She looks familiar.
She smiles and bows and then looks at us then claps her hands, "Wow, you guys rock!" and then looks at her watch. "Sorry guys, I gotta go."
Chris put's his hand on her shoulder and smiles, "So, what's your name and really how old are you really?"
She runs to the counter to get 2 cups of tea and looks back at Chris, "I'm sorry I can't stay.. I gotta go."
Chris grabs her by the shoulder and turns her around to face him, "Answer me please?"
Both of them were looking eye-to-eye and the girl starts blushing. Oh wow, I think she's crushing on him. The girl looks away and back at him, "I'm sorry, I don't give my name to strangers." She tries to getfree from his hold and walks to the door.
Chris chases after her and grabs her by the hand, "Just part of the name, you don't have to say your whole name."
"Fine," she takes a breath, blushes, and smiles, "Just initials, M.C.K. I'm sorry, but I really gotta go, my master is waiting for me."
Chris smiles, "Okay M, your free to go." and lets her go.
The girl smiles back at him and runs off then stops. She turns around and says, "I'll see you guys next time! M'kay? Here?"
Chris smiles back and nods his head.
Ian smiles too and laughs, "M, you don't want your master to be waiting. You should head out."
Anthony smiles and pushes her lightly, "Yeah, go! We don't want you to be in trouble."
I lean on the door and smirk, "Go on child, we're all right."
She smiles, giggles, and runs away. She's cute for a 12 year old girl. I wonder where she lives, she's a new girl here.
Chris smiles and yells, "Guys! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Anthony laughs and answers, "Hell yea, she's a cutie!"
"Not that!.. but yea she is cute.."
Ian laughs and so does David and nod at each other. David smiles, "Yea, she should be in the band."
We all lower our head and at the same time say, "Where can we find her?"
