Chapter 1: What's Grunge

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Grojband or any music in this story!)

Laney (Age 15) was in the garage as usual tuning her bass.

"Alright, let's give it a whirl," she said.

She played a note and it sounded good.

Corey (Age 18) came running into the room.

"Lanes you're not gonna believe this!" he said.

"Whoa, slow down tiger," said Laney, "What's up?"

"I just came up with an idea on how we're gonna gain publicity," said Corey.

"Its not another stunt like that last one where we all dressed as food is it?" asked Laney.

"Of course not," said Corey, "I just listened to an amazing style of music; Grunge Rock."

"As in Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam Grunge?!" asked Laney.

"You know it Lanes," said Corey.

"So how are we gonna pull it off?" asked Laney.

"We're gonna learn the basics of the music and what it stands for, then we're gonna write some killer songs and jam and gain a wide audience," said Corey.

"Corey I have two problems with your plan," said Laney, "1, Kin and Kon are gone so we have no drums or keyboards. And 2, your sister's gone on some trip so we have no way to get lyrics."

"One step ahead of you fella," said Corey.

"What do you mean?" asked Laney, "And would you stop callin' me fella?"

"Right, I keep forgetting you're a girl," said Corey, "Anyways I asked Mina to drive us to whatever city it originated from so we can do some research."

"I can trust Mina," said Laney, "She's not as stingy as that pink haired bitch."

"I'll say," Corey laughed.

"This might be my chance to get some alone time with Corey," said Laney in her head.

Later they were on the computer doing research on the sound of grunge.

"So Grunge is about crazy drums and overly distorted guitars," said Laney.

"Looks like it," said Corey, "Look at all these different bands. Mudhoney, Local H, Puddle of Mudd."

"Looks like Grunge is popular now a days," said Laney.

"But my gear isn't," said Corey looking at his old amp and junk.

"We could use some new gear to suit the grunge era," said Laney, "Wanna go shopping with me?"

"Huh?" asked Corey.
