Ok! So please read and review. I hope you enjoy! Oh! and I'm all for criticism! Thank you, BTW I havent written alot so yeah... I love GROJBAND! Oh also DISCLAIMER for Grojband:)
It was another gig where they needed lyrics. Grojband was at Mayor Mellows birthday party along with all the peacevillians. Trina was about to dance with Nick Mallory.
"Alright! heres the plan! Lanes, since your supposebly a girl, go and ask Nick Mallory for a dance." Corey stradegized with his band. "Kon, You go put on a slow song. Kin, make it to where the spotlights on them. And I'll deliver the final blow to take Trina down." They all agreed and left to there assigned position, except for Laney. "Whats up Lanes?"
"Core, I don't know..." She looked concerned for her safety, "Those girls surrounding Nick are kind of freaking me out..."
"Its cool Lanes, your super manly and tough, they won't lay a hand on you!" Corey tried to reassure her.
"Wow, thanks Core." She said sarcastically.
When Laney got to the group of girls around Nick, she elbowed her way in to see Trina infront of him. Laney quickly pushed Trina out of the way.
"Woah, Laney Penn, Nick Mallory says agressiveness is never the way to go." Nick said.
"Right... Anyways, hey, I was wondering if you'd like, maybe want to dance, with me?" Laney asked nervously.
"Nick Mallorys got off on the wrong start and would love to have a dance." Nick held out his hand and Laney took it. Just then the slow song came on and the spotlight was on just the two of them.
"And heres a special shout out to the cutest dancers out there at this very moment, Laney Penn and Nick Mallory." Kin annouced on a speaker.
Corey's POV
"Well thats was un needed." Why'd he add that? It kind of ticked me off. I walked over to my sister who was just getting up after being knocked over. "It looks like Nick Mallory has taken a liking to a younger girl."
Trina took it in for a second. "Nick... N-Nick likes Corey's wannabe girlfriend lamey bassits!? Shes like totally younger then us! She can't even dance and Junk! And like not even pretty and stuff! I should be dancing with hunky Nick Mallory, not herrrr! AAAAAAAGHHHH!" Trina then went into diary mode.
"Got it!" I grabbed the diary then went up on stage. Kin and Kon were already on the stage. I looked for Laney in the crowd and seen her by the punch table with Nick Mallory.
Laney's POV
After the dance I know I should've headed straight for the stage, but... Nick grabbed my hand and I ended up here. With punch.
"Nick Mallory never saw it that way before. Cudos to you for seeing the world in a different light Laney Penn." Nick said taking a drink of his bevrege.
While we danced, instead of taking in the moment with silence and happiness, I talked to him. About what you ask? Well, just everyday stuff I guess. School. Wheather. Sports. Animals. How our government is just using us as pons to their evil ways of public rights and fake images/apperince. Just the norm.
"Yeah, besides, we never know whats really out in the world unless we see it our selves, ya' know?" I ask Nick. When I look up he stares me in the eyes and smiles that cool smile.
"Laney Penn, you are so smart, Nick Mallory thinks we should hang out sometime." Nick suggests.
"No thanks, unlike other girls, I have pride in being a girl. I'd rather not fawn over you like a brainless doll." Laney spouts out bluntly.
"Nick Mallory totally understands, and for that he digs you. Nick thinks we should go out." Nick says placing his drink on the table.
Me!? Go out with Nick!? Thats crazy! Trina would kill me! And Core would- Core would... What would he do...? Its not like he cares... Maybe I should axcept. Maybe its time I let go of Corey J. Riffin... He'll never like me, he still reffers to me as a guy.. I'll only ever be, 'One of the guys'. Besides, Nick is cool and cute! alright, its decided...
"Nick Mallory isn't sure what to do about the awkward silence?" Nick said scratching the back of his head.
"Alright. I'll take you up on your offer." I say, then think about it, "I'm just testing the waters. If we hit it off, we hit it offer. If not, then no harm no foul, right?" I say holding out my hand for a deal hand shake.
"Nick Mallory completely knows what you mean, hes not sure about his feelings either. I'll call you Laney Penn." Nick takes my hand and kisses it, he then gives me his number and somehow already has mine. He then walks away.
I'm in a bit of a trance until, "Hello Peaceville! We'll get started as soon as a certain bassits for a curtain band comes up here!" Corey was talking about me, oops!
Corey's POV
After I called Laney to the stage she ran over to us. She said sorry and tuned her bass. I keep wondering why I'm so mad that she danced with Nick. Do I like her? Of course not, shes like my best friend! Wait... Do, I, like, Lanes...? Is it possable? It might be, she is kind of cute...
"Core!?" Laney yells and pulls me out of my thoughts.
"Y-yeah!?" I yell.
"Its time we play." Kin says.
"R-right." I reply. 'Do I like Laney?' Will be put up for further debate later. "Alright, Lanes,I want you to sing tonight!" This songs better suited for a girls vioce in my opinion.
"W-what!? Core!?" Lanes is nervous.
"Its fine Lanes, remember when you sang at girl fest?" I try and comfort her.
"That was different!" Laney argues.
I wont take 'No' for an anwser. "Hello evryone! Singing today is out Bassits, Laney Penn!" The crowd rowred. "You got this Lanes." I pat her on the back and she nods.
She goes up to the speaker, and sings...
(I'm dancing with tears in my eyes)
"That was AWESOME!" Kon yells after our performance.
"Your singing is great!" Kin comments.
"See Lanes, I knew you could do it!" I say putting on a big goofy smile.
"Thanks Core, thanks you guys.." She blushes a bit. Then her phone starts to ring. I wonder who it is. She checks it and then a slip of paper in her pocket. "Sorry guys, I've got to go, I'll see you at practice tomorrow!" Then she runs off.
"Well, that was weird.." Kon says.
"Yeah..." Kin adds.
That was weird Transition!
Its been a week since the Mayors birthday party and grojband is practicing.
"Yuck, like your grody music is like contaminating my ear wholes and junk. Mina!" Trina yelled. Mina came up behind her.
"Yes Trina!?" Mina asked.
"Like savatage their instruments or what ever, and do it now!" Trina demanded.
"It's not like we can't hear you!" Corey yelled at his sister.
"Who cares, Mina hurry!" Trina said.
Beep! "Nick Mallory just bleeted 'Going to pick up a very special someone'" Mina informed.
Trina ran to her and took her phone, "AAAAAAHHHH!" She hallowed in joy. "Is it me!? Because if it isn't, someones going to die!" Her mood went from sweet to nasty sour fast.
Laney started to get worried and scratch her arm uncontrolably.
"Whats wrong Laney?" Kon asked.
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Laney replied.
"Why are you sweating?" Kin asked.
"I'm fine guys, really!" I tried to reassure them.
At that moment, Nick walked in the gorage. 'Someone kill me now!' Laney pleaded in her head.
"Nick! He's really here! For me!" Trina yelled with hearts in her eyes.
"No way! Nick, your really here to pick up my sister!?" Corey yelled in confusion.
Nick shook his head. "Nick Mallorys Bleet wasn't for Trina Riffin. Nick Mallorys here to pick up Laney Penn, Corey Riffins Bassits." Everyones face were completely in shock. "Hey Laney, Nick Mallory wants to know if your ready for our third date?"
"THIRD DATE!?" Corey and his sister Trina shouted out at the same time.
"With NICK MALLORY!?" Kin, Kon and Mina shouted next. Laney jumped off the stage and stood next to Nick. Nick then wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Yeah, we're going out..." Laney admitted.
Corey's POV
This can't be happening!? What do I do now!? How did this happen? Wait. Was it because I had them dance together!? Oh My Glob! Its totally my fault! I hate myself! I feel like my hearts been ripped out! Am- am I about to cry!? WTF! It hurts, but I still haven't decided if I DO like her... Does this mean I do...? Before I realize it, everything goes black.
"Core!? Core are you ok!?" I hear Laneys vioce. When I open my eyes, shes standing over me. along with Kin, Kon and Nick Mallory... Trina passed out but Mina took her to her room.
"Huh?" Is all I managed. I must've passed out too, from shock.
"Corey? What happend?" Kin and Kon ask.
"I-I don't know... I guess, um, I was a little shocked." I say, trying to act normal.
"Nick Mallory thinks Corey Riffin should sleep it off." I could care less about what you say Nick. "Laney, are you ready to go with Nick Mallory?" Nick asks Lanes. Don't you dare touch her!
"W-what? Oh! Yeah, just give me a second, I'll go grab my bag." Then Lanes ran to the other side of the gorage. I can't believe shes actually leaving with him!? So, I guess this is wat jealousy feels like...
"Nick." I start, "Why do you like Lanes?" I ask, trying to act like I don't really care, but as her friend I'll ask.
"Nick Mallory wasn't sure about dating Laney Penn at first, but... Nick thinks shes beautiful and smart. Shes not like other girls, and Nick Mallory likes how she has an opinion. Though, Nick Mallory wouldn't mind if she agreed with me more on a few things.. ha, but thats just My Lanes." Nick instructed. WAIT! Did Nick just NOT talk in third person at the end!? My Lanes!? He's not allowed to say that! Thats it...
Although everything he said was true... I noticed all of that before anyone! Well not exactly.. I did know those things, but I just sorta brushed them aside...
I started to get up and pounce on Nick, when suddenly Laney came. "Ok, ready." She smiled at Nick and they locked arms. "I'm really sorry for not telling you guys, I was going to! But, I just didn't know how... I'm really sorry, do you forgive me?" She pouted a little.
Laney's POV
"Laney Penn, I am so disapionted in you. I thought we were your friends!" Kon cried.
"Yeah and if not us, at least Corey!" Kin said. Core was the last one I wanted to know. Its because of him I chose this...
"What if I bought you two a cheese wheel!" I say.
"With flowers?" Kon asks.
"Yes." I say and smile. Kin and Kon look at each other then me, they smile and agree.
"Nick Mallorys ready to go, and wants to know if you are Laney?" Nick say with his arm around my waist.
"Yeah, Later guys, bye Core..." Me and Nick turn around and before almost two steps something stops me. Corey was holding on to my wrist. "C-Corey...?" He has a pained expression on his face. Before Nick turns arounds I pull my wrist from Coreys hand so he doesn't get in trouble with Nick. No matter how much that made my heart race, I couldn't get my hopes up.
"Huh?" Nick turns around, but I block his view of Cores expression with my body. "Its nothing! My shoe just slipped off a little, I'm fine now." I smile to reasure him.
As we walk out, I take a peek over my shoulder, Cores head was down. I felt a sharp pain in my gut. It hurts to see him like that. Why is he like that? It's not like he'd ever like me.. Just this morning he called me 'Fella' and 'Bro' he doesn't consider me a girl.
Laneys not a Fella Transition!
2 hours later
Kin's POV
Corey seemed really upset, he tried to hide it, but I could tell he was sad. Me and Kon already knew Laney was in love with Corey, but I guess she finally decided to give up. Now I think Corey has found out his feelings.
"What a shame..." My twin brother Kon says.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I mean about Laney." Kon adds.
"Oh yeah, now shes got a super cool boy friend! She'll want to be with him forever!" I'm going to test the waters and see how much Corey can take.
"He's super hot too!" Kon yells.
"Guys, I don't feel like talking about them.." Corey says trying to steady his vioce.
Time to let out the truth, I look at Kon and wink, he'll know what to do. we walk and sit on both sides of Corey, then Kon talks, "I never would've thought she'd give up on you for Nick." He says.
Corey's head pops up, "What?"
"Dude she was totally in love with you." I say.
"H-how would you know?" He asks.
"Who do you think would listen to her problems... She can't talk to you about 'you' ya' know." Kon commented.
"She told you guys this..?" Corey seemed a bit confused.
"She got tired of waiting I guess, she never told us she wanted to move on, she always said, 'As long as theres hope for us, then I don't want to give up on him' I never saw the hope, but she must of." I tell him. Coreys eyes were wide.
"Yeah, but you don't like her, so it doesn't matter, right?" Kon delivered the final blow.
Corey's POV
Thats right... I wasn't sure if I like Laney... But after watching her leave with Nick, I'm sure of my feelings. "No.." I say under my breathe.
"What?" Kin and Kon ask.
"No, I do like her!" I tell them, "I care about her so much!" Its all coming out now. "I can't imagine my life without her..." The guys put on a huge smile and hug me.
"We'll help!" They both say. I'm so happy.
Coreys so happy Transition!
Laney's POV
I wasn't sure how practice would be today, I left them at 6:00pm I hope they had enough time to cope with things. When I walk into the gorage Corey and the twins are already playing music, without me?
"So... Does this mean I'm out of the band? Haha" I joke with them.
"Laney!" The twins both yell in unison with smiles on there face.
"H-hey Lanes!" Did Core just stutter.
"So, whats up? You guy just start without me?" I ask.
"We were trying to get Corey inspiration to write a song with lyrics!" Kon says.
"Yeah, we can't always depend on Trina. considering you took her best motivation. Nick Mallory." Kin adds.
"Oh, yeah... Sorry... But, I can't wait to see what Core can write!" I smile like everthings normal.
I jump on stage, and can't help but notice Coreys staring at me. I turn around and we look in eachothers eyes, he blushes! That makes me blush!
"Ready to rock out guys!" Corey yells.
"Yeah!" We yell back.
After an hour of jamming, Nick walks into the gorage. "Nick!?" I shout in surprise. "What are you doing here!?"
"Yeah, we're in the middle of practice." Corey snaps at him.
"Corey Riffin needs to cool down a moment, Nick Mallory remembers when Laney said she loved it when songs came from the heart last night. So Nick Mallory stayed up last night writting a song for you."
"Oh my gosh, are you serious?" I ask. This is the sweetest thing in the world.
"Wow! Now thats romance!" The twin say in unison.
"You know how to write songs!?" Core ask/shouts.
Nick went up on stage and got out ukilali, he held out a hand to me and I got on stage, he gave me sheet music to play with him. Then we started.
(Rhythym of love)
That was beautiful... I loved it, I would've loved it more if... If Corey was the one singing to me... But it doesn't matter, I want to cry from sadness and happiness...
I sit at the edge of the stage and start crying in confusion. "T-that was beautiful... Thank you Nick.." I must've looked like a pathetic and weak puppy. I know the guys were standing around me.
"Nick Mallory says, look up Laney." I look up at him and he kisses my nose. "Nick will call you later." He says giving me a hug and then leaves.
Laney is confused Transition!
Kin and Kon were making toast as Laney sat on the couch tuning her bass with Corey next to her. Corey felt a bit uneasy about the way things were between them.
"Hey, Lanes." He started.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Do, you really like Nick? I mean, because you cried from that song, right?"
"It's true that I cried, and I did really like the song, but honestly... I don't know how I feel about Nick." She said taking a break from her bass.
"So, you don't like him!?" Corey had a glimse of hope.
"I didn't say that." Coreys smile faded slowely. "But I don't like him as much as I'd hoped." Laney then stood up, "I don't know!" The band starred her. "We made a deal before going out!" The whole band sat on the couch as Laney paced back and forth infront of them.
"Deal?" Kin and Kon asked.
"We would test the waters." She said.
"So Nicks not even sure about his feelings?" Corey asked.
"No, Nicks more confident in how he feels then me. I told him if one day I didn't feel like we were going anywhere, I'd break it off. And, you know, no harm no foul, I guess.." She told them.
They all looked shocked or confused. "So, you have mixed feelings?" Kon asked.
"Sounds like it wont work out." Kin says.
"So you don't love him?" Corey asked.
"Yes, no, and yes. I have mixed feelings about loving him, but I think it could work if I just hang on a bit longer." They were still all confused. (A/N I don't even know. I'm a little confused. Lets bring Trina up..)
"Anyways, what happend to Trina, I haven't seen her." Laney pionted out.
"Shes still past out from shock, I think shes having a fight with Katrina to see who will take conciousness." Kin said.
"Well I have to go, I forgot to help mom with chores at home. I'll see you guys later!" Then Laney ran out.
"I know a way to win her over if her heart is still uncertain!" Kin shouts to Corey. "But it requires us to stay up all night!"
What is Kins plan Transition!
The next day Laney walked in the gorage to find them on the stage again without her.
"Hey guys, this is the second time I wasn't late but you started without me." She said stirnly.
"L-Laney!" Corey called.
"Laney, we have something to show you!" Kin yelled.
"Yeah it'll be awesome!" Kon told her.
Laney crossed her arms, "Really?"
"Trust me, I think you'll like it. At least I hope you love it." Corey said smiling down at her. "Ready guys?"
"Yeah!" Kin and Kon reply.
(Madness-Mused)
Laney stood on the floor in 'aw' at Corey, she was silent and still. Corey was starting to get worried.
"Well, me and Kon must be going, our mom just texted us to get home! Later guys!" Kin said as him and his twin rushed out the door. Corey and Laney still looking and eachother.
'W-what was that song about? Does this mean what I think it means?' Laney thought.
'I hope she understood..' Corey though, then jumped off the stage and walked infront of Laney. "L-lanes, what did you think?" Corey asked.
"It was beautiful and awesome! How did you write it!?" Laney asked, smiling.
"I guess I never really had any inspiration, but this time... I had you.." Corey said rubbing the back of his neck.
"C-Core, t-thats really sweet..." Laney said blushing and staring at the ground.
"Laney..." Corey said. Laney looked up at him, "Y-yes?"
"L-lanes, stay with me... P-please... I need y-you..." Corey stuttered.
"Y-you need me...?" Laney whispered to herself...
