RPG (1...)First Things First [M-VLS]

[Lilt]

[center][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]Some people say punk rock is dead, and that it died with the death of Johnny Ramone. Or that it died a lot earlier than that, thanks to Good Charlotte, Blink 182, and other bands. But other people don't care what they say. They still live the punk life, even though it's become more of a punk "style" today. Malcolm and Sadie Rory are two of these people. Malcolm doesn't care what other people think, or that they might make fun of her. All she cares about is her's and Sadie's dream to start a band. But with only a keyboard player/lead singer, (Malcolm,) and a drummer/backup singer, (Sadie,) they haven't gone very far. And even if they did manage to find some other teens to help them with their dream, would they be able to keep it together? Or would it be ripped apart by their new members or themselves? After all, like most sisters, Sadie and Malcolm don't always see eye to eye, and this can lead to some nasty arguments. And when they're not playing or fighting, Malcolm's usually out partying. And if that's not enough to worry about, Malcolm and Sadie have to get their band together before their Uncle Harry, who owns a recording studio, comes to town. So far, they've tried everything from flyers to websites and there's been no reply. Until now.[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center]

[left][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc]Malcolm put on one of her many black shirts, a dark red plaid mini skirt, and black boots with silver buckles, and brushed her hair. It was almost time to audition the new band members and she had slept in late. She only hoped that Sadie had gone to the warehouse ahead of her. Malcolm checked the room across from her's and saw that there was no one in there.[/color][/size][/font][/left]
[left][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc][b]"Good. She must have already left." [/b]Malcolm said, relieved.[/color][/size][/font][/left]
[left][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc]She walked downstairs, and fixed herself a piece of toast before she left. Eating it on the way, she grabbed the keys to her CR-V and drove off. She couldn't help being a little excited. This was the first time that Sadie and her were her going to be able to actually put together a band! That is, if the people auditioning were good enough...Malcolm sighed. At this point, she was desperate enough to accept a retarted kid who could hum Mary had a Little Lamb.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

IC: Kendal rolled out of bed and grabbed the previously picked outfit from the chair beside her bed. She pulled on the tight flare-legged black pants, a black T-shirt with white racer stripes down the sides, and then pulled on her boots. She brushed her blonde hair back from her face, and then grabbed a hot pink scarf, tying it around her neck.

The girl went into the bathroom, and grabbed her gel. She carefully dipped her fingers in it, and then ran them through her hair, making her hair hang in strings. She outlined her eyes, and then put the swirls at the ends before putting on her lipstick. She washed her hands, and then went down to the kitchen. She had fifteen minutes to get there. Kendal grabbed a Coke from the fridge, and took her keys off the counter.

With a, ?Bye, Mom!? Over her shoulder, Kendal got into her Mustang, and sped down the highway. She soon arrived at the warehouse, and parked. The girl got out, and cocked her head at the building.

?Here goes nothing??[/size][/font][/color][/center]

[size=1]Tara worked out at her puching bag in her bedroom. Small headphone were set inside her ears palying a mix of music. She was still dressed in her pjs, which consist of her olive green tank top shirt and her light pink pants with blue, purple, and green strips. The door to her bedroom open and she swung her foot around.

"Shit Tara. I wish you wouldn't do that!" Her brother, Greg, lept back missing getting hit by Tara's foot.

"What do ou want dweeb?" Tara placed her hands on her hips.

"I need some money."

"Do I look like Mom and Dad." Shoving the door over on her brother she look at her clock. Picking up a flyer for a band auditioning for members. Dropping the flyer she opened a draw and grabbed a couple of clothing. It turned out to be her favourite outfit. Quickly shee threw on her bright outfit and decided it needed something else. She knelt down to her bottom draw and grabbed a pair of neon orange and pink stripped leg warmers. Looking at her hair she came to conclusion that it was fine and didn't need to brush it.

Headed down stairs she grabbed her gig bag that had her bass in it. Swing it over her shoulder she entered the kitchen.Greg was sitting down at the table and eating a bowl of cereal. Tara opened a cabinet she grabbed a granola bar. "I am out for the day mostly likey. Can you tell Mom and Dad that when they get up?"

"Yeah whatever." Greg said with his mouth full of cereal.

"Thanks." Tara left the house and got into her cherry red 76 Stringray Chevrolet Corvette. Rlling down the windows she headed towards the locationn of the auditons. Turning the dial she found a music station she likes. The wind whipped her hair as sang along.[/size]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm parked her CR-V and got out. There were two other cars besides hers parked in front of the warehouse. One was Sadie's, and the other one, was a Mustang she didn't recognize. It was a nice car, though. Malcolm stopped admiring the car, and headed towards the warehouse. It wasn't actually a real warehouse or as big as one, but she and Sadie called it that, since all of the rooms were so empty. Well, they were, before they fixed up some of them as a "home away from home". before she opened the door, she stopped and listened. Inside, Sadie was talking to the person who probably owned the Mustang. She could just barely hear them.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"I'm hear for the band audition. Where's Malcolm? Is he here?"[/b] An unfamiliar, but beautiful voice said.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"No, she's not here yet."[/b] Sadie said, emphasising [i]"she"[/i].[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Judging that this was the right time to make an entrance, Malcolm opened the door.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"I'm right here! So, what do you do? And are you ready to audition?"[/b] Malcolm asked the new girl as she noticed that she looked at least as beautiful as her voice sounded.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Yeah, I am. I sing."[/b] The girl answered.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"Good, well I hope you can sing as good as you...Um...I'm Malcolm Rory."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"I'm Kendal. Nice to meet you." Kendall shook Malcolm's hand.[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm smiled at her, and then told Sadie to wait for anyone else who came while she auditioned Kendall's singing.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo][center]Kendal followed Malcolm into another room, and she gently closed the door behind her. The blonde surveyed the room, and grinned. ?Wow. Did you and Sadie fix this up? This place used to be really empty.? The room had a couch, and a coffee table, with two chairs on either end. She went to sit next to Malcolm on the couch.

Kendal watched the other girl, and then said, ?Let me think. What should I do?? She leaned back into the couch, pondering. She broke into a grin, and then said, ?This should do it.? She tapped her fingers on her leg, and then sang a couple lines of ?Haunted? by Evanescence.

Kendal was grinning wider at Malcolm?s look. Before she could get a response, she started in on ?Broken? by Ami Lee and Seether, and in the middle of a line launched into Losing My Grip by Avril. It was obvious how well she could use her voice, as she made the transitions from one song to another on the notes that were the same in each song.

When she finished, Malcolm was still watching her. ?Wow.? Kendal was still grinning. ?That was amazing.? Kendal let her grin fade gradually until it was a small smile. ?Thanks. Malcolm?? She seemed to move a fraction closer. The girl watched Malcolm?s reaction before saying, ?You?re pretty amazing, too.? Then she leaned all the way over, and planted a kiss firmly on the girls lips.[/size][/font][/color][/center]

[Lilt]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm was really impressed by Kendall's singing. She actually did a pretty good job of covering Evanescence's and Avril Lavigne's songs. But when Malcolm thought of it, Kendall's voice was a bit more like Amy Lee Roth's. Kendall pulled away from Malcolm and smiled.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b][i]"That kiss was pretty impressive, too."[/i][/b] Malcolm thought.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]She smiled back at Kendall.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"I'm definitely making you lead singer."[/b] She said as she pulled Kendall back into another kiss.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][spoiler][/color][color=black]Malcolm felt one of Kendall's hands go down the front of her pants.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=black][b]"So that's where this is going..." [/b]Malcolm whispered as she started to unzip Kendall's pants...[/color][/size][/font]
[color=black] [/color]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][color=black]Sadie, probably bored of waiting, started to open the door, but shut it after seeing Kendall laying on top of Malcolm, both of them naked.[/color][/spoiler] Malcolm looked at the closed door, and told Kendall that they'd probably better go back into the front room. They both got dressed, and opened the door, and saw Sadie waiting at her drums. She didn't say anything about her walking in on them. Then, just as Malcolm was about to tell Sadie that Kendall was the new lead singer, another girl walked into the warehouse.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=1]Tara parked her car in front of the warehouse. She just reliezed that she had never put on her glasses. She scratched her head, come to think of it they weren't in her room. She leaned over and pushed aside soem fabric she bought for a new outfit and found them under it. Figures, she always forgot about them. Placing them on he rface she got out of the car.

She walked to the back of the car and grabbed her amp. She wasn't sure if they had one or not. Besides she preferd her own. With her gig bag on her righ t shoulder and her amp being carried in her left hand she entered the warehouse.

As she walked in she saw a nice setup and three other girls there. "Greetings!" she gave a wave. "Names Tara, I am here to try out. Is one of you people Malcolm?"

"I am Malcolm." Tara raised her eyebrow in surprise. she had been expecting a guy really, not a girl. "So what do you do?"

"I am a bassist. Hope you don't mind but I brought my own amp." She set down the amp, it was starting to get heavy after awhile. Setting down her gig bag she unzip and brough tout her bass. Plugging the wires down in at the bottom of the base and putting the other end in them amp. She flicked the switch on and put the bass on with the strap.

She paused and reached in a hidden pocket she made into her shirt to bring out a pick. Tara took a second to make sure that the bass was still in tune. "Sorry 'bout that, sometimes the nobs get twisted when riding int eh car."

"Ready now?" Malcolm asked. The other two girls watched Tara.

Tara nodded and scrolled threw brain to find tofind a song to play. She began to play Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. She figured she would start off with one of here favourite. As one note ended about halfway to throw the song, Tara went directly into another one. She had gone into The Rock Show by BLINK-182. She made sure the cord she went out on would parrallel with a cord from the other song.
Tara wanted to demestrate that she could tell the difference and varaince in the cords.

Tara finished. "How was that?" The bass's wieight just rested on her.[/size]

[COLOR=Navy]Ariana got out of bed and she cursed as she saw what time it was. She was late for a band audition, she continually cursed as she got ready. Aria changed into her usual outfit and grabbed her brush off the table. She parted her hair down the center with it and straightened the rest of her hair, checking herself quickly she picked up her thin hard guitar case and rushed out of the bedroom door. She saw walked along the wooden floorboards until she reached the staircase. Aria lifted her guitar case and decided to slide down the banister.

Aria entered the kitchen and said a 'Hi, bye!' to her parents and rushed out the front door, slamming the door behind her.

Aria lifted the garage door and looked at her two different modes of transport, there was her [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12824]Suzuki Hayabusa[/url] and her [URL=http://www.j-team.co.kr/img/item/NISSAN%20350Z%20BLUE%2078.jpg]Nissan 350Z[/URL]. She decided to take her bike since she was late and picked up the helmet that was sitting on the seat. She opened the top bump section near the handles and slid the case deep in so it sat securely there. Aria sat and searched her pockets for the keys, slotting the thin piece of metal into the keyhole and turning it clockwise. She listened as the engine purred and put on the helmet, sliding the visor down. Then she kicked up the stand and hit the gas, shooting off with a rumble.

She hurried through the streets, trying to get to the warehouse as fast as possible. She saw the building ahead and saw several cars parked out front. Aria pulled into one of the empty spots and turned off the engine, flicking the stand down again. She pushed the helmet off and surveyed the area as she ran her fingers through her hair. She stood and retrieved her case from inside the hatch. Aria tucked her helmet under her arm and walked into the warehouse.

She walked in just as another girl finished playing a song on her bass guitar. Everyone turned to look at her and she put down her guitar case. One girl commented on the one who had finished playing and she moved away, then that one girl looked at her.

"Uh, hi. I'm Ariana, but don't call me that, only my parents do, the name's Aria." she said.
"I'm Malcolm, what do you do?" the girl said.
"I play the electric guitar," she said, waving to the case. "and I sing harmony."

Aria opened the case and brought out her black electric guitar. She slipped the strap over her head and settled it.

"Say, can I borrow your amp?" Aria asked the bassist.
"Sure, go ahead." she answered.

Aria plugged the chord in and tuned it quickly. She reached into her pocket and retrieved her special pick with a wolf head on it. She started to strum "Bring me to Life" by Evanescense and she sung the harmony part, then she smoothly switched to "Every Single Day" by Rob Mills, and finished with "Accidently in Love", showing her different ranges and types that she played and sung.

Aria hung on to the last note and then her stormy bluey-grey eyes locked with Malcolm's brown orbs.

"How'd I do?" she asked, cradling her guitar.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC:[/B] I couldn't really think of any songs with good guitar parts in it.

[size=1][color=#696969]Sitting at her drums, Alex cared not for the time. When she glanced at her watch, she sighed and stretched her arms and back, and stood. For a moment, she stood there, wondering what instrument to play this time and decided drums. Alex walked over to a small, thin suitcase and unlocked it. A smirk appeared on her face and she took the ones on the bottom middle. They were all her favorite, but this one rocked everyone's socks.

Taking a quick shower, Alex walked into her room and searched for clothes in her closet. She finally decided to wear a pair of long black Billabong shorts with one white stripe on the side, a black Hurley with white arm stripes, and her black and pink Cheshire Cat t-shirt over it. Finally, top it off, Alex wore her black Orsiris shoes, customized black beanie with the Nightmare Before Christmas dog on it, and her silver cross necklace

With a quick look in the mirror, Alex knew she didn't need any make-up on that day, which she rarely wore, on occasion that it made her feel too feminine. She grabbed her [url=http://thestore.adidas.com/q404-live/d8013_339383_1.jpg]ADIDAS bag[/URL] and put her sticks in, along with her extra clothes, shoes, and cell phone. Alex, then, walked out of her room and ran downstairs. Her parents looked to her and smiled. They knew who she was and accepted for it, even if it wasn't according to Korean tradition.

A kiss on the cheek for both parents and Alex grabbed the keys to her customized red and black Acura RSX and threw her bag into the passenger side and got in. She started the engine and blasted her music as she sped out of the driveway.

It took some time to get to the warehouse, but when she got there. She realized that others were already there. Alex parked her car and grabbed her bag. She stepped out of her car and looked around and saw several cars with some punkish style, but when she came to a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300, a little light began to blink inside her head, but she dismissed it and went on.

With, yet, another smirk on her face, Alex put one of her sticks into her back pocket and started to flip the other stick around. Alex walked in and a strange vibe came about her, but she didn't care. She walked over and sat down as the two girls who held the audition comment on the guitarist's audition, who happened to be Aria.

When that ended, Alex walked over and stood casually in front of the two girls. She already knew the drill and before they asked her, she had already replied.

[B]"The name's Alex. I play the drums, as well as guitar, keyboard, and vocals. At times, I play the bass, but I mostly play drums."[/B]

The two girls were impressed. [B]"Wow. Impressive. You already know what to do. Name's Malcolm and this is Sadie. She's a drummer as well."

" 'Sup? Oh...got a CD player in here or something? I need some other type of music to play with, unless you got someone who can play the guitar."[/B][/size][/color]

[FONT=Garamond][COLOR=Blue]Trey woke up to his alarm and forced himself not to go back to sleep as he usually would. He got up and brushed his hair and took a quick shower. He threw his dragon shirt over a tank top and ate a couple bowls of cereal. He looked up at the clock to see he only had a half hour to get there and it would take him twenty minutes to get there. He brushed his teeth after he finished eating, grabbed his keys by the door and headed out. He stopped and ran back inside after realizing he forgot his keyboard. "Dammit...I'ma be late..." He grabbed his keyboard and hurried back outside and locked the door. He ran up to the bus stop and luckily he was the only one there. The bus stopped and Trey climbed on.

After about twenty-five minutes the bus stopped close to the ware house. He ran over with his Yamaha 3000 Keyboard on his back and stopped just short of the door. He had to put drops in his eyes for his contacts since he got some dust in his eyes. He opened the door and walked in to see six others inside and walked in slowly. The one who was organizing the band walked over to him. "What's your name and what do you play?" She asked.

"My name's Trey and I play keyboard and I can supposedly sing..." He replied quietly.

"Supposedly?" She asked. "What do you mean by 'Supposedly'?"

"My friends tell me I can sing but I don't want to take their word for it since they're my friends. They're probably just being nice." He replied still in a silent, low tone.

"You're gonna have to speak up, Trey...How long have you played the keyboard?" She asked him.

"Uh...about five years...give-or-take a few months." He replied speaking up somewhat.

"Well since you showed last we'll listen to your audition last." She said.

Trey simply nodded and tried to avoid the looks of the others who were there. He sat down by his keyboard bag and slipped on his headphones. He put his Linkin Park: Meteora CD in his player and started it up. He closed his eyes and listened to his CD. He figured he'd listen to it until he was up.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm played the song, Big Brat by Phantom Planet, on a boombox in the warehouse for Alex to listen to. Once it went through about a minute of the song, she stopped it.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Can you play that?"[/b] Malcolm asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Alex nodded her head and started playing her drums, with Aria joining in on guitar. Malcolm was amazed, Alex had picked up the song pretty quick. Once they had finished, Alex asked her what she thought.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Well, it looks like we're going to have two drummers."[/b] Malcolm said, laughing.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Then, she turned to Trey. He took off his headphones.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"What songs can you play?"[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]He started thinking, and then said.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Well, I don't know if you'll know any of the songs I can play, so what do you want me to play?"[/b] Trey asked back.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm went to her keyboard, and turned it on.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"Just follow along with me. If you can pick it up, you'll be in the band."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm started playing Wonderful Things by Eisley. Trey was able to follow pretty well, and then Malcolm started singing the lyrics.[/color][/size][/font]

[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]I awoke the dawn [/i]
[i]saw horses growing out the lawn [/i]
[i]ah ah ..... [/i]

[i]I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings [/i]
[i]oh what marvelous things [/i]
[i]ah ah....[/color][/size][/font][/i]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]She then stopped, and told Trey he was in too. Then, she decided to make an announcement.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Thanks everyone for coming. You're all in, of course, and if you guys want to meet up at a club somewhere, we'll discuss the band positions, and our bands name. What are some clubs that you guys like? My treat."[/b] Malcolm said, smiling.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc]But before anyone could suggest something, Malcolm interrupted them.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc]"Oh, I almost forgot. I'll have to meet you guys there. I kinda borrowed my mom's car today, so she'll want it back soon. But, I'll pick up my car, put some gas in it, and be there soon, okay? And don't worry, I'm not trying to skip out on my promise."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#9932cc]Sadie gave Malcolm a "yeah right" look that she tried to ignore.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo][center]Kendal piped up. ?Guys, we could meet at my house. My mom makes some killer pizza.? She grinned. ?And believe me, its better than take out.? Kendal looked at the others. ?Also, we can ruffle through my lyrics files, and see what I?ve got.?

Malcolm said, ?I?m for that.? Kendal looked to the others, and got nods and affirmatives. ?Follow my car, guys. Malcolm, I?ll give you directions.? Everyone went out to the parking lot, and Kendal grabbed a piece of paper from her car. She quickly jotted down the directions, and gave them to Malcolm before getting in her car.

The cars pulled out of the parking lot, and all but one went after the dark green Mustang. Ten minutes later, Kendal pulled into the driveway, and parked in the garage. The others parked in the cul-de-sac, and Kendal went in. ?Mom, I?ve got visitors! We?re gonna go down to the basement. Do you think you could make some pizza??

Her mom looked out of the living room as the others came in through the garage. ?Sure, hon.? She flashed the kids a smile. Kendal started up the stairs, and said, ?I?ve gotta grab something from my room. You guys go on down.??[/color][/font][/size][/center]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Thanks to a few shortcuts she knew, Malcolm got home pretty fast. She parked her mom's CR-V, ran in and traded her mom's keys with her own, and left for Kendall's house. She only looked at the directions once, since she knew most of the area, and since Kendall's house was pretty close to her own house. Malcolm parked her car in the cul-de-sac, after she found a parking space, and locked the doors. She would come out for her keyboard later. Right now, she wanted some pizza. She was glad she didn't have to pay for anything, though. Even though she had said everything would be her treat, she was flat broke. She just wanted to impress the new members of her band. Malcolm knocked on the door and a young woman who must have been Kendall's mom, or at least her older sister, answered it.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Hello, can I help you?"[/b] The woman asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"Is Kendall here? I'm Malcolm, a friend of hers."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Kendall's mom smiled and let Malcolm in.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"My daughter is upstairs in her room. It's three doors to the right."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Before going upstairs, Malcolm sniffed the air. Something smelled delicious, and it was making her stomach growl.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Is that the pizza?"[/b] [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Yes it is dear. I'm almost finished making the first one, now."[/b] Kendall's mom called from the kitchen.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm couldn't wait for the pizza, but she decided to see what Kendall was up to. She went up the stairs, and opened the door to Kendall's room. She looked around, but she didn't see Kendall anywhere. Then, she saw her. Naked. Malcolm quickly turned around and apologized. Kendall just laughed.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"It doesn't matter. You can turn around. You saw me like this once before, anyways."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm turned around and saw Kendall grabbing a towel and going into her bathroom.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"I'm going to take a shower, really quick. I didn't have time to take one today. Could you try to find my lyrics? They should be by my bed."[/b] Kendall asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Malcolm nodded and searched for kendall's lyrics as she heard the shower turn on. She soon found them, and started reading them out loud. Then, someone grabbed her from behind. It was Kendall.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]"Hey, I told you to find them, not read them!"[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][b]"Alright, alright! Let go!"[/b] Malcolm said, laughing.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]Kendall let go of Malcolm, and told her to bring her lyrics down to everyone in the basement, without reading them. She promised, and went downstairs.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][i]"I don't know what she's so embarrassed about, her lyrics are actually really good."[/i] Malcom thought as she headed to the basement.[/color][/size][/font]

[size=1][color=#696969]The strangest thing about Alex was that she hated being around people, yet she would audition for bands and, almost always, get in. It was the strangest thing, but the counselor that her principal sent her to said that being with people may help her anger or something along the lines.

With a sigh, Alex began to twirl her drum sticks around once more. Everyone was active and talking, especially Aria, whom Alex knew since they were children. Aria caught her eye and walked over, knowing how Alex was and how her life was.

[B]"Hey. Holding up, okay?"

"Just a bit. Nothing I can't complain about."

"Ok. Well, if you need anything..."[/B]

Aria clicked her tongue and shot one of her "I'm here for you" looks towards Alex, who merely gave her a small smile. Alex then looked towards the stairs and knew that Malcolm had arrived. It wasn't really unnatural for Alex to have heightened senses. It happened by some freak accident when she was a baby.

Putting down her sticks, Alex saw Malcolm walk down the stairs and greet everyone. Alex had no need to say hello, just a mere nod was sufficient.[/size][/color]

[COLOR=Blue][FONT=Garamond]Trey was slightly surprised that he made it in the band. He packed up his keyboard and watched as everyone left. He hoisted the bag over his shoulder and followed the directions that the others took just by keeping them all in sight. He walked to Kendal's house to see everyone's car there. "I guess I'm late...It sucks not having a car yet..." he said and laughed to himself. He walked up to the door and knocked.

"Just a second." he heard a voice say from inside. The door opened and someone who appeared to be Kendal's mother answered. "You must be with the band too?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am. I'm Trey..." Trey replied politely. He shifted his keyboard to his other shoulder.

"Please come in. Everyone else is downstairs and Kendal should be down shortly." she replied. She shut the door after Trey walked in.

Trey sniffed the air as he walked in to catch a scent of the pizza. His stomach growled and he quickly made his way down the stairs to see everyone down there but Kendal. He took a seat in the basement away from everyone and pulled out a sheet of paper. He began to read the lyrics written on it to pass the time until Kendal came down. "Why'd I write this anyway? Not like I can sing..." he said to himself.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[B]OOC:[/B] Sorry if I haven't posted in a while, couldn't think of anything, and this post isn't too good either. BTW, this post is from earlier.

[COLOR=Navy]Aria was overjoyed when she found out that she had made it into the band. They had made the decision to return to Kendal's house and they all rolled out of the warehouse and into/onto their modes of transportation.

Aria had slotted her guitar into the compartment of her motorbike again and took off after the others. Aria decided to drop by her house to leave a note for her family, she did so then continued to Kendal's house.

Everyone had already beaten her there and their vehicles were parked in the culdesac. Aria found a spot and slid in, turning off the engine and getting off. She removed her guitar from the compartment and headed toward the door. She knocked on it and it opened, revealing a young woman.

"Hello, are you with the others?" she asked kindly with a smile.

"Yes, I am, my name's Ariana, but please call me Aria." she replied.

"Welcome, please come in, the others are all downstairs." Kendal's mother said, letting Aria in before closing the door. Aria made her way down the stairs and saw everyone but Kendal, Malcolm and Trey. Aria began to talk to everyone, then she went to Alex to talk to her oldest friend. Then Trey entered and started passing a sheet of paper around which were lyrics that he'd written.[/COLOR]

[size=1][color=#696969]Growing aggravated and a bit tiresome of those around her, Alex decided to venture upstairs and find Kendall. But, Kendall's mom came down with the pizza and her way was blocked, but being the good samaritan she is, she decided to help Kendall's mom with the pizza. A smile and thanks came from Kendall's mom and the two brought down the pizza and drinks for the band.

Once the smell of pizza wafted to their noses, the band erupted in a clamor, voices talking over each other, wanting a piece of the pizza. But, Malcolm stopped them and told them to wait for Kendall, who was upstairs still getting her lyrics. With a sigh, Alex walked up the stairs and went to find Kendall.

[B]"Excuse me, but where's Kendall's room?"

"It's upstairs, three doors to the right, darling."[/B]

A thanks came from Alex's mouth as she left. She went upstairs and looked at the various pictures that hung against the wall. There were pictures of her family, of Kendall, and just plain beautiful pictures. Alex admired the beautiful artwork in the pictures, the light work, the shading, everything was beautiful. She was a fan of any type of art.

Walking down, she had found Kendall's door. She knocked a few times and her scurrying. Kendall then came to the door and opened it. Alex stood there with her arms crossed. Kendall stood with a blank face and she suddenly remembered.

[B]"Oh! Sorry. I was looking for something. I'm ready though. Is the pizza ready?"

"It was ready before you were. Let's go, they're waiting and hungry like a pack of wolves."[/B]

A slight nervous laughter came from behind as Alex left before Kendall. They arrived downstairs and a series of "finally"s and "let's eat"s came up. Malcolm was happy to see Kendall. Alex grabbed a drink and walked to her bag and took out a small flask. It was filled with peach vodka, something she loved very much. No one was the wiser, except Aria, who stared at her. This made Alex put the flask away and just drink the soda plainly.

[B]"Alright, since we're all here, let's talk."[/B][/size][/color]
