Chapter 1: Meet The Band
(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Korra or Lemonade Mouth!)
There were people running into a stadium to check out a band.
I was putting makeup on and messing with my hair.
The guitar player opened the door.
"Its time Asami," she said.
"On the way," I said.
People were giving their tickets out to get in.
Poets, geniuses, champions, rebels.
My band, Fire Breath has been called all of those names.
The keyboardist was playing with his hair and the drummer was clacking his sticks.
There were many stories about our band that were told in various ways.
However, the real story is how our band came to be, and it has been said to be a mystery to them all.
Who would've guessed that our story would have begun, right here.
Oh, and my name's Asami, its very nice to meet you.
They say that music has the power to change one's life.
In my case, it changed my life for the better.
Anyway this is my story, so its best to pay attention cause its starting right now.
(A few months earlier)
I was sitting in a room with 4 other people.
Korra Onuki, Lead Guitar.
Opal Beifong, Bass
Bolin Yamade, Drums.
Kai Lang, Keyboards.
And our soon to be advisor, Zhu Li Moon.
"So, it looks like you're the only ones who bothered to even be part of this club," said Zhu Li.
Korra was looking around the room.
"This seems like a strange place to actually have a music club," she said.
"To be honest, it wasn't really my idea," said Zhu Li, "We've been banished down to this area because Principal Tenzin had this crazy idea to build an air bending stadium where the music room was supposed to be, and now here we are."
She formed a circle with the 5 of us around.
"So I guess the first order of business is to introduce ourselves to everyone," said Zhu Li, "I'll start. My name is Zhu Li Moon, and I'm the musical advisor, while my husband happens to be a businessman who does his best to provide for me."
She pointed to me.
"My name's Asami and…." I started.
We heard some noise.
"Honestly, if they spent even one small fraction of what it cost me to keep this music club alive then…." Said Zhu Li.
We heard another noise.
"Oh that tears it!" Said Zhu Li.
Ok, so if I'm gonna tell this story, I should probably do it the right way.
(A few hours earlier)
Korra was playing on her guitar to Hole's Violet.
As you all probably know based on the way Korra's dressed and her attitude, she's a rocker, and for some reason has a fetish for flannels.
Korra's father, Tonraq called her.
"Let's go Korra, you don't wanna be late to your first day at school do you?" He said.
Korra finished up.
A few minutes later, Korra and Tonraq were at the school.
"I know its hard for you," he said.
Korra sighed.
"Moving to another school far away from my friends a MONTH into the year?" Asked Korra, "How could that possibly be hard for me?"
"Korra wait!" Said Tonraq.
"Who am I kidding?" Korra asked, "Its completely hard for me, but who the hell cares right?"
"I care," said Tonraq.
"Then you might have thought to ask me before you moved our family all the way to this city," said Korra.
Tonraq's phone rang.
"I need to take this," he said.
Korra sighed and walked inside the building.
Some guys were making fun of her and she brushed it off.
Opal's parents dropped her off.
"Have a good day sweetie," said her mother Suyin.
"Be sure to check out some clubs during the day," said her father, Bataar, "Maybe you'll even do something similar to what your brother is up to."
"Sure thing Dad," said Opal
"Remember, we love you, no matter what," said Bataar.
"I know dad," said Opal.
Kai's dad was dropping off his girlfriend to community college.
"What's the matter buddy?" He asked.
"Isn't it just a little weird that your girlfriend is still in college?" Asked Kai.
"She's only a few years younger than I am Kai, and she's just taking one course," said his dad.
"Why not buy a sports car or something that'll get you out this midlife crisis?" Asked Kai, "Not that I'm against this or anything its just…"
"Trust me Kai," said his dad, "I know.
Bolin and Mako were walking to the school.
"See you later man," said Mako, "Oh and check out the music club, it looks like they're in need of some members."
"I'll bet," said Bolin.
I finally made it to class.
It put on my lipstick and everything else.
Korra was meeting the principal, Tenzin.
"Pardon my daughter," said Tonraq, "She's going through some anger issues about moving to a new school."
"I can see that," said Tenzin.
He noticed the T-shirt that had hands on her breasts.
On one hand it said, "My body", and on the other it said "My right".
"What's wrong?" Asked Korra, "Is there a dress code I'm not aware of?"
"No not really, but there is a bit of a line with how students can dress, and that shirt crosses it," said Tenzin.
"What about freedom of expression?" Asked Korra, "Don't you have that?"
"Korra, just cover up for the day," said Tonraq buttoning up her flannel.
"Korra was it?" Asked Tenzin, "I'm not sure how they ran things up at your school, but around here things are entirely different."
He looked at her.
"I just want you to understand that I run a tight ship here and I expect the rules to be followed," said Tenzin.
Later he was walking down the halls and Zhu Li was following him.
"I can't believe this," said Zhu Li, "Moving the music program to the basement is one thing, but then to cut our budget to 0 just to make room for your big air bending stadium is crossing the line!"
"Sports bring donors, donors bring money, and money makes this school run," said Tenzin not listening to a word Zhu Li has to say, "Times are tough, but we can only change with them."
Zhu li continued to pursue him.
I was singing to myself and someone overheard.
"Oh I'm sorry I…." I said.
The student handed me a flyer.
"First meeting is today after school," he said.
Opal was walking around the school during her free period and saw the same flyer I had, same with Bolin.
"Hey, I think I've seen you around somewhere," she said to Bolin.
"You're Opal right?" Asked Bolin, "The granddaughter of Toph Beifong?"
"That's right," said Opal, "She had one hell of a singing voice back in the day."
"That's such a beautiful name, Opal," said Bolin.
"Thank you," said Opal.
"I'm Bolin," said Bolin.
"Opal," said Opal, "But… you already knew that."
