"Darius!" Jude begged following him down the G Major stairs.
"Not another word," he demanded. "The decision's final."
Darius left Jude alone as she grepped her bright red hair and screeched quietly to herself.
"Jude," Sadie said walking in her direction, "what's up?"
"Darius has made arrangements for me to do another song duet."
Sadie pulled her hair behind her ear and raised an eyebrow. "With who?" she asked curiosly. She figured that after the success of 'Waste My Time' G Major was ready for another hit.
"I don't know. But according to Tommy they aren't from around here. They've probably come from the states." She finally realized the anomaly of the situation. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, right," Sadie said. She reached into her rather large purse for a much smaller one. "You forgot it at home."
Jude took it from her. 'Thanks."
She then jumped as she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hallo? I am looking for a Darius."
She turned around to see a rather tall teenager. His clothes were solid black and consisted of a t-shirt, dark wash jeans, and black finger-less gloves. He wore thick black eyeliner and his hair was about as long as Jude's, only twice as thick. It reminded her of the cut Sadie received back in the seventh grade. She observed the blondish-white highlights grazing through.
"He went out to lunch. I think he'll be back in an hour," she answered. She then extended her hand to shake his. "My name is Jude."
"I am Bill," he said. His accent was thick. She guessed… German? "Excuse me," he said, "but have I seen you somewhere before?"
She smiled. "It's possible."
Bill took a second to think. "Ah! You were dat backup singer in ze Shay music video!"
"Mr. Kaulitz," Tommy called walking in his direction. "It's a pleasure to have you in Canada. If you would follow me…" He gave Jude a glare that told her to watch it.
Bill and Tommy left as she clenched her teeth and fists together in pure wrath.
"He's kind of cute," Said commented quietly behind Jude's ear. She then straightened her back when the both of them discovered another three guys walking in their directions. "Hello!" she said to herself excited.
The one if front wore extremely baggy 'gangster' clothes. He had a black band across his forehead along with a large cap that held back his thick, dark yellow dreadlocks.
The next guy wore a fitted cap and his t-shirt was well fitted over his body and his jeans were causal.
Finally, the third guy was very muscular. He wore clothes similar to the second guy and had brown hair. The style reminded Jude of the one she had gotten in the fifth grade.
They passed by Jude and Sadie to Bill.
"Ok," Sadie said. "That Bill guy might be cute, but that guy," she said pointing at guy number three, "is hot!"
Jude didn't care though. Back up singer? To Shay?! Hah! She couldn't believe her ears. She wanted to just walk up to him and give him a piece of her mind.
OoOoO
Jude strummed through her guitar lightly humming with it. She was in the lobby of G Major and wasn't really working too hard. Every once and a while she'd jot something down in her notebook.
BZZZ
She reached into her messenger bag to get her cell phone. In moments it flipped open to reveal Tommy's message.
Meeting. Now. Room 3
Jude grunted in annoyance as she grabbed her guitar and made her way there. As she was about ten feet away from the door Bill accidentally knocked into her.
"Excuse me?" she exclaimed. "Can you try to watch where you're going?"
She didn't want to have an attitude; she was simply having a bad day. Him being there, well, it didn't help the situation at all.
"Sorry," he said.
Jude walked into conference room three when she noticed Bill doing the same.
She glanced around the room. Sitting there was: Darius, Tommy, and the three guys she had seen earlier. Bill soon joined them at about the same moment she sat down next to Tommy resting her guitar against the wall.
"So what's up?" she asked.
"Okay, Jude," Darius started. "I told you about the mash up I wanted to do. Well, welcome to your other half."
She glared at the teenagers. "These guys are a music group?"
"Ja," the 'gangster' one said. "Vat's so shocking?"
Jude through her hands in the air. "He barely speaks English, how the hell is he supposed to sing?"
"Actually," Bill said, "I'm the only singer in da band. So ve've met before. Dese are my friends Georg and Gustav on bass drums." Bill then pointed to the guy in dreads, "Dis is my twin brother, Tom. He's our guitarist."
"Twins? You're kidding me."
They both shook their heads.
She gave Darius a confused look. "How the heck is that guy supposed to sing with me? I don't know any damn German. Plus, I don't want a thick German accent singing with me."
"Don't worry," Bill intruded. "Ven I sing, I can control my accent. I guess you have never heard us play."
"Great job figuring that out, Einstein."
"Jude!" Tommy scolded.
She made a gesture that showed surrender. "Shout all you want. I'm not doing the song."
Jude stormed out of the room not even noticing that her Ipod fell out or that she didn't even grab her guitar. She was way too pissed.
"Is she alvays like dis?" Tom asked.
"It's been a really bad few days," Darius replied.
OoOoO
Jude sat at her computer. She decided that she was going to do some research on this band. She typed up 'Twins Bill Tom Gustav Germany'. She couldn't figure out the fourth guy's name.
Google brought up 356,000 results. She clicked on one and found the following article:
Tokio Hotel is a German band founded in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001 by guitarist Tom Kaulitz and singer Bill Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bassist Georg Listing. The quartet has scored four number one singles and has released two number one albums in their native Germany, selling nearly 3 million CDs and DVDs there.
After recording an unreleased demo-CD under the name "Devilish" and having their contract with Sony BMG terminated, the band released their first German-language album, Schrei, as Tokio Hotel on Island Records in 2005. Schrei sold more than half a million copies worldwide and spawned four top five singles in both Germany and Austria. In 2007, the band released their second German album Zimmer 483 and their first English album Scream which have combined album sales of over one million copies worldwide and helped win the band their first MTV European Music Award for Best InterAct. The former, Zimmer 483, spawned three top five singles in Germany while the latter, Scream, spawned two singles that reached the top twenty in new territories such as Portugal, Spain and Italy. Their first live album, Zimmer 483 - Live In Europe, was released near the end of 2007. However, while still struggling for success in most English-speaking countries, the band has released an English language version of Ready, Set, Go! in the UK, and are currently enjoying exposure in Canada and the United States.
"Pretty popular," Jude said to herself. Tokio Hotel? Weird name. Well, guess it isn't any stranger that 'Spiederman Mind Explosion'.
She then went to YouTube and searched 'Tokio Hotel'. 125,000 hits.
The first two finds were some sort of interview, so she skipped them. She eventually decided to first hear a German song. The first one she found was entitled '1000 Meere'.
She studied the clip carefully. It was pretty calm at first, and she had to admit, he could sing. The beat soon grew and she found herself bobbing her head slightly.
When it was over she decided to check out one of their English videos. This should be entertaining, She thought thinking about how thick his accent would probably be. Jude clicked a link entitled 'Ready, Set, Go!'.
The clip started with a group of people staring blankly into a screen. The screen soon dissolved into a video of a city.
The song was much upbeat than the previous. And his accent, she couldn't tell it even existed! He sounded like he was from America.
Jude noticed that Bill's hair looked much like it did that day, unlike in 1000 Meere where it looked like he used a whole can of hairspray.
There it was again, she thought. The porcupine hair was back, she commented while the chorus played.
Okay, this story is going to be quite parallel to the one of Jude and Shay. I just wanted to let you know.
Tokio Hotel is my favorite band. Any thought Jude is having are the ones I thought she would think if all of this happened to her.
This little story is going to take place after season 1 episode 8, Unsweet Sixteen. Jude is pissed at what Shay did and now Bill's little comment didn't help at all.
Please R&R. I rarely add these little notes to my stories, I don't know why. I just wanted to write this one to let you guys know exactly what's going on. You know, no confusion.
