A/N Okay so this is my band story pretty much. I wanted to do one that was a semi songfic semi-not. Doesn't make sense to you? Ehh, doesn't make sense to me either.
Iggy: she finally started it BEFORE she had to leave. Nice.
Fang: Fail.
Me: SHUT UP! Its not my fault I wasn't sure how to start this story… *Pout*
Fang: *facepalm* Look what you did Iggy!
Iggy: I DIDN'T DO IT!
Me: That's what she said(;
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride.
Fang P.O.V.
Iggy and I walked into the club where we were going to meet Ari and the band he wanted us to meet. He gave us absolutely no information on them except for the name. Velocity. Why would dudes pick such weird name for their band, we'll never know.
Our other band members Aaron and Keegan were already sitting with Ari at a table.
"Yo, Fang! Ig!" Aaron yelled to us, patting the two empty seats. Iggy and I made our way over to the seats and sat down, Keegan looking up from the flyer in his hand.
"Dudes that Velocity band that we're supposed to meet is playing here tonight. Hey, they're gonna be on soon!"
Ari smiled as two girls took the stage. They both smiled out to us and took the microphones out of the holders. "Alright everyone, next up we have one of our most well known bands in the state!" The first girl said. She had dark brown hair that was cut into layers and straightened. She had on a red shirt that read "People are GAY, get over it" and dark wash skinny jeans, they were destroyed and worn.
"I don't even think we are going to announce their name because they are so well known! Ha! Sorry suckers that don't know em already!" The second girl with short blonde hair, in perfect little kinks, and was wearing a dark jean skirt and a white shirt.
Air's smile widened as he said "These girls are amazing."
As the first two girls got off of the stage, five other girls replaced them. The first with dirty blonde hair and bangs covering her eyes, walked up to the mike and took it out of its holder. The next girl walked over to the piano, soon followed by all of the other girls taking their spots but I couldn't even see what they looked like. The girl standing in front of the microphone was mesmerizing.
I sat up straighter, hoping to get a better look at her. In that moment she spoke into the mic.
"Hey ya'll. Glad you could come out, I'm known as Max and we shall be playing a couple of our new songs tonight. The first one is called Fixed At Zero. Enjoy." And with that she let the microphone dangle in her hand. The band started playing and the girl's head bobbed with the beat. She was getting into it.
[Fixed At Zero: VersaEmerge]
As 'Max' began singing the first voice, I gasped at her voice. It was so powerful, so gorgeous.
This doesn't make much sense
Think far out but I'm still locked in
I'm still lost, walking circles
The floor swallowed me up whole
There's no where to go
Her voice filled the room, ringing beautifully.
There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero
Max was jumping, dancing, moving her hips to the beat, feeling the music take over her.
I've learned to talk with my fingers
The only that voice that wakes my ears
Oh make my bones do something
Ever wanna jump out your skin
Anticipate until the sidewalk ends
There's no where to go
She stopped in her tracks and looked up under her bangs. Her beautiful brown eyes shined with pride and… pain?
There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero
The guitar got a little more intense but it didn't have as much power as Max's voice did.
There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero
I'm fixed at zero
The guys and I exchanged glances and we were all stunned. We had never seen an all female with so much power in… well ever. If only they were Velocity, the band we had to play with, then maybe this whole publicity thing would be worth it.
Max smiled into the microphone as she said "We'll be taking a short break, then well will play a little more."
She hopped off the stage, followed by the others and Max was headed directly towards our table…
"Max, that's a great song" Ari stood up as she got into hearing distance. A proud look passed over her face.
"Really? It took like half an hour to write?" Max said, thinking intently.
"At most" said the drummer, slinging an arm over Max's shoulders. The drummer was cute. Her brown hair was pulled up into a pony tail and her blunt bangs were swinging in front of her brown eyes [Ella's eyes are brown right?] She looked a little like Max.
"Well that's a new record."
"Actually its not…" Max and the drummer said at the same time, with a 'You're kidding right' type face.
The rest of the band walked over to where we were sitting.
"Max, Ella, we have like a minute. Lets go!" One girl called over to the two girls in front of us. The rest of the band then headed to the bar to grab a few bottles of water before they jumped back on stage.
"'Kay! Lets go El" Max said as she grabbed the bottle of water that Ari held out to her.
Max and Ella then walked back to the stage, their hips swinging with every step they took.
I looked over at Iggy and Aaron who looked like they might start drooling any second now. "Now they, are sexy" Aaron said leaning back into his chair. "Wouldn't mind if I could t-" Aaron continued before being interrupted by Ari.
"Those are my cousins you're talking about!" Ari wasn't too happy as he looked back at the girls. Now they were back on stage and getting ready to play the next song.
"Sorry man, didn't know" Aaron fidgeted in his chair.
"Alright everyone! We're gonna play another song for you! Its called Wanted!" Max stated into the mic.
[Wanted: Jessie James]
Hoo hoo hoo...(x8)
Max started swaying her hips to the beat.
I wanna lie in my bed
And do nothing
I don't care what anyone says
I got you on my mind
Thinking about one thing
Gonna show you how I do it best
Whoa, Max was seriously getting into the song and so were the other girls.
Put my lips on your mouth
Keep you comin around
Cus I like it
Put your hands on my hips
Take me down
Sink this ship
Boy I can't resist
Ha, if only I was the guy she couldn't resist… Wait I never said that.
I wanna wear my hair wild in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
'Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And its hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
And I only want to be wanted by her. God Iggy has finally got to me.
Those other guys when they call
I might answer
But you're the one I'm thinking bout
So baby don't disappoint
Just move faster
And show me what you're feeling now
…
Put your lips on my mouth
Keep it comin around
Cus I like it
Nothings wrong
It's so right
Got permission from me tonight
So turn off the lights
Iggy and Aaron were whispering about the girls, most likely Max who was looking so fine right now.
I wanna wear my hair wild in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
Now I'm going crazy
I'm tired of waiting
My lips are on fire
I just want you to know
I'm losing my patience
For the time that you've wasted
Put your lips on my mouth
Put your lips on my mouth
Put your lips on my..
I wouldn't mind that at all.
I wanna wear my hair wild in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
Max was dancing up on stage, looking as if she was having the time of her life.
I wanna wear my hair wild in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
Cus I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory

"If only Max…" Ari said trailing off. Well this song probably made every guy in this club just want to drool over Max. I was one of them but hey, I'm Mr. Cool Calm and Collected.
"Alright everyone that's all for right now, but if you really want, then in half an hour we'll come back up and play a little more for you!" Max yelled into the mic. Her voice rang throughout the club, like a bell.
Max was the first one off the stage. She walked over towards us quickly and thrust her hand in Ari's face when she was close enough. He sighed and handed over an orange ipod touch.
"Nice ipod" I said grabbing my coke off of the table. Just so ya'll know we're at an 18& under club which means, no drinking and yes we under 18. Just barely.
"Thank you" She said with a quick grin before plopping down in a seat next to Aaron, who had a smile now play on his face from how close he was to Max, and sticking the headphones in her ears, bringing her knees up to her chest. Max drummed her fingers on her thigh as she kept the rhythm of the song. "Oh, Ari are we recording tomorrow?" Max asked in the middle of her song. She took out one headphone and looked at him under her bangs.
He nodded quickly and eyed her, as if asking her to drop it. Nodding she stuck the headphone back in her ear.
That was when Keegan shoved me.
"What?" I asked snapping back to reality.
I looked at Keegan as he said "I asked you a question. Do you have any idea who Velocity is? I mean no guy bands have played yet."
I shrugged and pulled out my phone. '6 New Text Messages' The screen read.
I opened up the first to see it was from Angel, Iggy's little sister.
Fang, mom needs Iggy to pick up some cookie stuff for me. Please tell him!
-Angel
I smiled, Angel always texted me when she needed to let Iggy know something, seeing as he never answered text messages from her. The next was from my cousin Lissa.
Hey, you comin' over for dinner tomorrow?
I smiled and typed yes, then hit send. The next four were from my friend, Bridgid.
Fang, you freak! I gotta tell you something.
They all went a little bit like that but I just closed my phone and looked up at the guys, and Max. The guys were having a deep conversation and Max was gone. I looked around the club for a few seconds before I found her leaning against the bar with her band and they were all whispering but I saw Max look over at our table and point, saying something I couldn't quite make out.
What the hell were they talking about?
Well tomorrow I'm leaving for my dad's house but I hope you liked the first chapter. I'm going to continue it while I'm gone.
Iggy: R&R
Fang: That second song Max sang was a great song *wink*
Me: Freaks… No wonder I kidnapped them!
Iggy: Yes, no wonder. Oh and happy International Make Someone Feel Uncomfortable Day!
Me: Right! So ending the day on a positive note… Iggy, Fang, Will you marry me?
Iggy: Yes!
Fang: Of course.
Me: And Boxers or Briefs?
Iggy: Boxers all the way *Winkkk*
Fang: No comment *cough* boxers *cough*
Me: WIN! R&R
