I wasn't suppose to write this but I couldn't stop myself so I decided to write it anyway. Some pairings revealed in future chapters. :) Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: If I did own School of Rock, Freddy and Katie will be in love with each other, and there would be a sequel already.

Chapter o1. The chaos begins
Dewey Finn walked up to the 8th grade class of Horace Green Middle School.
"Okay guys, I really need to tell you all something very important."
15 pairs of eyes turned to him.
"Um, excuse me sir? What can we do for you?" A brunette teacher in her 30's said.
"Well you see…"
He then turned his face to the class and didn't recognize every single one of them.
"Oh. Wrong room. Sorry." He quickly backed away from the class and closed the door. He then peeked through the window of the classroom next door. He was looking for a familiar face and there he saw a blonde haired boy whose hair was all gelled up and had purple streaks in them. He intervened once again.
"Okay guys, I really need to tell you all something very important."
He said, finally finding the right room.
"Dewey-"
"Hey Ned. Okay now, we need to get ready this week because we have a very important gig this Sunday. Also, because all of your parents will be there to see you perform-"
"Dewey! We're in the middle of a very important lesson." Ned said, getting fed up of his roommate always randomly barging in his class.
"But I'm in the middle of announcing a VERY important announcement."
Ned gave a long and loud sigh. He gave up.
"Fine. Just hurry it up."
"Okay, we're going to extend our band practice later. So we're going to last until 8 and also me and the crew will have a meeting later while the band practices, okay? That's all, bye guys."
He said and exited the room. And at the same time, the bell rung. Ned sighed once again. He couldn't believe how Dewey's disturbances always happened right before the bell.
"Okay class remember your assignment in Math and Science that are due tomorrow and also your 5 page book report. And one more thing…"
The whole class stopped all their fuss.
"Good luck with the gig this Sunday."
Ned smiled as he exited the room.
At the band practice…
"What the hell Dewey?????? Ballad? I can't fucking play ballad!"
Freddy shouted at their leader. Obviously, he was very pissed at the fact that the set list for their gig contained only ballads, no metal, punk or hard rock at sight.
"What happened man? Why only ballad? I mean, can't the venue accept the fact that we're a ROCK band?"
Zack said. Apparently, he's a little bit pissed himself, which rarely happens to Zack Mooneyham.
"Well, the uh…"manager" there said that only ballad can be played. Look, I'm as pissed about it as you all are okay? It's not like I wanna play slow songs for dead people all day. I wasn't even the one who set-up this gig."
Dewey, who seemed to also disagree with the fact that they're only gonna play ballad, said to them, regretting that he ever agreed to this.
"Summer? Help me out here."
Summer sighed. She was the only sane one who could convince the band to play at every venue Dewey had set-up for them, be it weird or not.
"Okay. First things first, where ARE we going to play?"
"Uh…I'll just talk about that with you in private."
He dragged their manager in the kitchen, out of the band's earshot. The band randomly picked a ballad song and played it, forced of course.
"Look Summer, this thing that I announced isn't actually a gig. And I was forced to agree to this too."
"Then what exactly is it?"
"Roadies! Groupies! Security! Billy!"
Dewey shouted from across the room, he needed to announce this to the manager and the crew but DEFINITELY not to the band.
"Okay guys, this thing isn't exactly a gig. This just something that your parents set-up for us. And they threatened me that if we didn't agree to this, they're gonna forcibly break the band up, which is just the worst thing in the world right now."
"Then what exactly is it?" Summer repeated, getting frustrated that her question hasn't been answered yet.
"Security, you need to make sure that there is NO audience in the venue, except for the people who are allowed to go in. Roadies, we need you to make a power point presentation of the lyrics of the songs and the words that the people need to respond. Groupies, we need candles that have little ribbons on them that has the band's name. And Billy, we need dresses for the girls and suits for the guys, and don't you dare add the School Of Rock logo on them. Just make them all completely frilly okay? Everybody got what they're supposed to do?"
Everybody widened their eyebrows. No audience? Then that means, the gig would suck. What point is it having a gig if there's no audience? And a power point presentation? For what? Aren't they supposed to make cool graphics instead just to make the performance even more cooler? Candles? Why the hell would they need candles? Especially ones with ribbons. But worst of all…dresses? Suits? No logo? FRILLY? Even Billy didn't accept that he was supposed to make something frilly. What the FUCK is going on?
"But why no audience?"
"Power Point? Not something cooler?"
"For what are candles?"
"FRILLY?????"
"What? Like I said, this isn't exactly a gig."
"THEN WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?!!?!!" Summer was getting really pissed because Dewey explained all those weird stuff to them and still hadn't got her question answered.
"Well, we have a very…special…kind of venue for this performance."
"Which is where?"
"We're gonna perform in…"

Sorry for the cliff hanger. If I get any reviews at all, I might update. That is if I do get any reviews and if someone actually reads my story. :) It's only my second fic so go easy on me. ;)
