Mikie looked over a sheet of paper with a list of crossed out names in red. His mild annoyance was VARY obvious. With a heavy sigh he called out the last name on the list that wasn't marked in red or had he/she sucked next to it or No hope the one that read "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
"Gracie," called Mikie, "You're up. Show me what you got." He said trying to let his cheery demeanor show rather than his obvious irritation.
"Really? Already? Alright." Grace said as she started to belt out her famous guitar solo for the awaiting crow.
'Damn and that was a huge list too if I'm going to do this I'm goin' to have to put on one hellova show' she thought to herself as she tuned the guitar and got her self psyched up to play.
She started off slow closing her eyes and plucking the cords gently as she could feel the music flow threw her. Gracefully she flew threw the cords increasing the tempo of the music bringing it to a seductive yet near thrash sounding beat and then bringing it gracefully back down to a spectacular finish.
For moments, all was silent and every one looked onto her in wide eyed amazement.
"Ummmm soooo, did I make it?" she asked nervously.
Silence
"Well?" She asked in a almost panicked tone
"Uh, well," Mikie cleared his throat 'Just my luck to save the best for last.' He thought as a smile started to grow wide on his face.
" Yeah. YEAH! OH HELL YEAH! You're in." Mikie gushed excitedly as a look of relief and disbelief came across Gracie's face.
"Thanks. So when's rehearsal?" she asked as excitedly as Mikie was.
"What?" He look at her clearly confused look on his face.
"Rehearsal? You know the thing you do to get better at playing." Gracie said sarcastically, "Usually bands "rehearse" in order to get better. Is any of this ringin' a bell?" She asked and looked at Mikie like he grew a new head
"Shut up." He growled under his breath
"What? I was just stating the obvious." She said in a matter of fact way.
"I know that Mrs. Gracie, but I didn't expect you to ask about rehearsal five seconds after becoming a band member." He huffed
"Oh." Gracie breathed the word with a disappointed tone.
Mikie notices this and decides to change the subject. "So, you wanna go out to Taco Bell?"
GROWL Gracie blushes as her stomach answers for her.
"Yeah, sure." She whispers
"Oh yeah by the way, you're paying. Consider it initiation into the band." Mikie smirks and silently cheers at his own brilliance.
"Right……….." She said 'weird initiation, well now that I think about is what about him is normal, and what the hells up with the mood swings?' she thought to herself. "Can I ask you a question?" she asked as she looked at him oddly.
"Shoot." He chirped still cheering as his brilliance and free lunch.
"What's the band's name gonna be?" she asked.
"Oh that. Dark Passions." He said finally deciding to bring out hand fans one saying "victory" and the other saying "I'm so smart" doing his victory dance.
"Cool. Gracie of Dark Passions, rock on." She said as she watches him wondering if this really was a good idea. 'Okay it's official. He's insane.' She thought to herself. 'And that dance is really gay.'
"So, when do I get to meet the other members of Dark Passions?" asked Gracie as she bit into her gordita dropping lettuce and tomatoes onto the table below her.
"Wadda you mean?" Mikie said with dumbfounded look on his face.
"The other members of Dark Passions. I mean it can't be just the two of us." She looked at him as her eye's started to grow.
Silence
"Are you serious!" Gracie yelled at the top of her lungs, effectively getting the attention of every person in the fast food joint.
" Yeah. Is that a problem?" Mikie asked as his eyes began to get a glossy look to them.
"Yeah." She said till Mikie's eyes grew and started to water and dribble making him look unbelievably girly and cute. Gulp "I mean no.………oh crap………..No it is not a problem at all. It's just, a little weird. A two member band playing who-knows-what type of music." She said congratulating herself at the cover.
"It's called Techno/Goth." Mikie said still sniffing and looking about ready to break out bawling.
"Yeah, that. So, two members, gonna be tough. Do you think that we can do it?" Gracie asked hesitantly hoping he wouldn't take it the wrong idea.
"You mean you're not gonna bail?" Mikie screamed also getting the attention of everyone inside of Taco Bell thus getting another loud shhhhhhhhhhh
"Phst…..Hell no! I made my way into this band, and I'm not getting out of it. You'll have to kill me first," Gracie said as she grabbed Mikie by the shirt and shaking him violently and then releasing him blushing at what she had done.
"That's …gasp…great...we can...definitely……do it," Mikie said as he stared to gain some stability and his composure eyeing her warily.
"Awesome! Now let's get some more food. I'm still hungry," Gracie said eyeing the counter.
"You're still buying." He grinned and silently cheered at his awsomicalness.
"Crap" she mumbled as she dug into her wallet for more money.
"Like I said, you're buying dinner. It's an initiation thing," Mikie giggled girlishly 'Good thing she's paying, because I'm so broke' Mikie thought to himself watching Gracie start to whine as she pulled out her last twenty.
