I went into the arena and saw the huge stage and grinned as big as it could get. We were playing at the Super Bowl. The grandest of them all. I looked over at Nudge who was gaping and staring.
'Her eyes are almost as wide as her mouth!' I thought and chuckled to myself. Fang was setting up Iggy's drums and Iggy was adjusting Fang's mic stand. I had never understood why they set up each other's equipment.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's take a look back at how we got here.
It was a warm summer evening. Our band, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, and me, Max, were sitting around bored as all get-out.
"Fang. Do you have any idea what we should do today?" Iggy had asked. Fang had shrugged, and I rolled my eyes.
"How about we start a band? Fang, you can sing and play guitar, Iggy plays drums, Nudge can play bass and sing, and I can play guitar!" I said, and three pairs of eyes looked at me. Except Iggy. He was looking at a spot to the left of me.
"Are you serious?" Nudge asked, and I nodded eagerly. She shrugged.
"What the heck? I say we give it a shot! And if it doesn't work out, well, we tried!" she said, and I smiled. I always loved her enthusiasm, but sometimes when she starts ranting, I don't like it as much.
"Hey, I'm in!" said Iggy, and we all looked at Fang. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and nodded.
I grinned and hugged his neck.
"Thanks guys! Let's go practice at Iggy's house." I said, and they nodded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We were standing in Iggy's basement with two mic stands, one for Fang and one for Nudge, a drumset, a bass guitar, and two Fender Stratocasters.(awesome guitar. Search for pics. :D)
Fang's guitar was all black (big surprise) and mine was dark blue with tie-dye effects in it.
"What song should we play first?" I asked, and they thought for a second.
"Ooh OHH!!" squealed Nudge and I looked over at her.
"Do you have an idea Nudge or do you just like squealing at odd intervals?" I said, and she nodded.
"How about 'Umbrella' by Rihanna?!" she said, and I shook my head.
"Hold on Max. There's a more rock-ish version of that song. It's a cover by Vanilla Sky. Here, I'll look it up." Fang said, and he went over to Iggy's computer. He went on youtube and found it.
I listened to it, and I nodded.
"Alright. I'll do that version." I said, and Nudge smiled.
"We need at least one song from everybody. Nudge, right these down." I said, and she went to get a piece of paper and a pencil.
"Um.." Iggy said before he flopped down into a bean-bag chair with surprising accuracy for a blind kid.
"I want to do 'Axl Rose' by SR-71." Iggy said after thinking for a minute. I nodded, and I turned to Fang.
"And you Mr. Tall, Dark, and Silent?" I said, and he smirked.
"How about 'Obvious' by blink-182?" he said, and I grinned. He knew that was my favorite song of all time.
"Alright. Now-" I started but Nudge cut me off.
"Max! You haven't picked a song yet!" she said, and I rolled my eyes.
"I was getting to that!" I said. "Now, let's do 'Odd One' by Sick Puppies."
All agreed on songs, now all we had to do was practice.
"Let's do 'Odd One' first, because it doesn't have many difficult cords." Fang said, and I nodded.
Nudge started playing a slow groove on the bass, and Fang started singing.
Odd one, you're never alone
I'm here and I will reflect you
Both of us basically unattached
To anything or anyone unless we're pretending
You live your life in your head
Some call it imagination
I'd rather focus instead on anything except
What I'm feeling
What I'm feeling
Odd one...
Iggy kept building and building a slow beat, and now it was a full-fledged rocking beat.
Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day
I was lead guitar, and I played a little improvisation lick before the second verse started.
Odd one, I wish I was you
You're never concerned with acceptance
We are all desperately seeking out, a
And fitting with anyone
Who will accept us
But not you, odd one
I glanced over at Fang, who was jumping along with the music. I grinned and continued playing.
Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day
Nudge stepped up to her mic and took a deep breath.
Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
My mouth dropped. I had NO idea Nudge had that much talent!
Odd one...
"Oh my god, guys that was so great!" Angel, my little sister squealed, and Gazzy, Iggy's little brother, was clapping and cheering.
"Wow. Nudge, I didn't know you could sing that well!" I said, and she shrugged.
"Honestly, I didn't either." she said with a smile, and I laughed.
"Guys, I think we have a band!" Iggy said.
