A/N: Before you read this, be aware that this fic has songs. It's not exactly a song-fic, but maybe somewhere near that. It'll turn into a real song-fic at the very end, when Corey sings. After all, this is Grojband, and they're all about rockin' hard.

Diclaimer: I do not own Grojband, or any of the characters. (And I really wish there will be a season 2!)

Good, now with all that done, enjoy the story~ Feel free to tell me what you think about it.


Chapter 1

Ever since the day everyone thought the world was going to end, Laney never really figured out whether Corey liked her the way she did for him. Sure there was that time in (2nd) New Year's where they shared their first (accidental) KISS, and during the song he'd steal glances at her, and the time after they rocked that meteor to bits; he held her close as he was doing those monologues of his. But there was never really any solid proof he actually felt the same way or not because by the end of the day he treats her the same as he treats the guys. Crappy – for Laney that is.

The young bassist, now 16, was busying herself while waiting for the rest of her band mates to arrive. She was tuning her bass just as Corey arrived with two glasses of iced tea. He shot her a smile that made her stomach flip, in a good way.

Corey changed during the years; he had shot up considerably. She could stand under him and he could comfortably rest his chin on her head. But he still wasn't as tall as Kon.

"Sup Lanes." He said as the girl reached for the drink, their fingertips brushing against each other making her turn pink. "I see you're up and early."

Laney let out an awkward laugh and tucked a long lock of red hair behind her ear. "Yeah. You know what they say; the early bird catches the worm."

Corey chuckled and took a sip of his iced tea. "You sure know how to seize the day Laney."

Before Laney could come up with a reply the garage door flew open, revealing the last two members of the team. Kin and Kon were (as usual) talking loudly amongst themselves. Kon grew a lot more muscular than flabby during the years, and his twin brother Kin was a lot less scrawny.

"Hey guys." Laney greeted. "What're you two fussing about?"

"Don't you know Laney? It's the longest day of year!" Kin and Kon shared a high-fived excitedly.

"Longest day of the year?" Corey questioned. "Guys this is great! We can have a concert at the park when the sun sets to celebrate the longest day."

"Right Core." Laney rolled her eyes at him. "And how exactly do we do that?"

"Don't worry Lanes." Corey brought her to a side hug. "We'll figure something out. In the mean time, we should go talk to Mayor Mellow for permission."

-LONGEST DAY TRANSITION!-

"The longest day of the year?" the Mayor grabbed the picture of his mother on the desk. "Did you know about this mother? Uh-huh, me neither!"

"So we were thinking; if we could have a concert at sunset." Corey said.

Mayor Mellows brought his finger up and stroked his chin. "There's an event that's going to happen in the park tonight, and it does need a band." He thought some more. "Alright kids! You got yourself a deal."

"Yes!" Grojband cheered.

"Wait, what's the event about?" Laney spoke up.

"It's a dance, a cotillion. So whatever song you're planning to play, I trust it will go along with everything else." He answered. "Now if you'll excuse me, Mother and I have some things to do."

-AWESOME COOL TRANSITION!-

"We sound great!" Corey exclaimed as they finished their number.

"Yeah, now all we need are some awesome words to go with the tune." Kin stated.

"Like your monologues!" Kon said happily. "Er – sometimes."

Corey shrugged. "Sorry bro. It just doesn't work that way for me."

Laney looked at their fearless leader shaking her head and grinning to herself. Corey can be such a klutz sometimes, it's no wonder he's completely oblivious to his talent in writing lyrics. But that wasn't the only thing he's so completely dense about. It's love too. Love could smack him on the face and he still wouldn't notice, Laney sighed. Years have passed and her love still goes unnoticed by him. Or has it?

"What about Trina's diary?" Kon suggested. "You always pick something up from there."

Corey gave a light laugh. "Yeah Kon, but Trina almost caught us last time remember? She even put a lock on it." (A/N: I'm trying to make that option nearly impossible or at least not an option at all…)

"Well then," Laney started. "You're gonna have to get some inspiration Core. It's a dance, so expect couples there. Anything mildly romantic will do."

Just then a light bulb hit both the twins' heads. "If it's inspiration you want…" Kin started.

"…It's inspiration you'll get." Kon chuckled.

The twins dragged them out of the garage. Corey and Laney looked at each other with confusion in their eyes and then looked at the twins for answers.

"You'll need these." The pianist handed them two tickets. "Kon and I were gonna use them to watch something buuut think this will work out better."

Corey looked at the movie tickets. "Wait–"

"Sorry! No refunds!" their drummer said quickly and pushed Corey towards Laney.

"You guys go have fun, maybe a sappy love song will come out of it." Kin gave the both of the guitar playing duo one last shove before going back home. Laney blushed madly at the twins' last words. They ran away laughing out loud.

"I said MILDLY ROMANTIC!" she screamed after them.

Corey looked at the two movie tickets. They were free passes to any movie you want to watch. Cool, he thought to himself. He glanced at the red head beside him and blushed slightly.

"So, uh… wanna go watch a movie?" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Really?" she looked at him a little surprised.

"I don't want to waste these tickets." He smirked.

She smiled back at him teasingly. "Are you asking me out on a date?" she didn't know where that boost of courage came from, but she was feeling too giddy inside to care.

Corey turned to her and chuckled, his cheeks still slightly tainted. "If you want it to be."


A/N: So that's chapter 1 folks.
