And this One Time at Band Camp….

Chapter I: Prelude to Hell-o Mrs. O'neil! Day One…

I don't own Digimon.

KK: Alternate Universe fic. Based on what happened to me at band camp, so not everything is true. But I did meet a nice guy there that I swear I am still falling for him…This is dedicated to you Sebastian…

Also: When letters are in italics and capitals, they are the notes being played.(Not all songs will be given) b means flat and # means sharp and * natural. '' this means the notes are getting higher and '' the notes are getting lower.

Does someone want to know what those annoying musical slang or terms are? (Sees some people raise their hands) Then leave what you want to know and your email and I'll tell you! No charge.

Hikari looked out the window as her parents drove down the dirt road. A strand of light brown hair fell in her face as a hand took hers. She looked to the person who took it and it was Daisuke, her boyfriend. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Taichi nudged her and she then looked towards her brother. He gave her a kissy look and she stuck her tongue out at him.

They finally arrived at the camp and she went to the back to get her suitcase out.

"Do you need help?" she thought she heard Daisuke ask.

"No, I'm fine thanks," she turned around to give him a kiss discovering it was someone else.

The someone else had blond colored hair and ocean blue eyes. His small nametag that was on his green sweatshirt said 'Takeru Takashi' and he a black suitcase like her own.

"You sure?" 'Takeru' asked again.

"Yeah…" she said as Daisuke got out of the car and started walking towards with an angry look on his face.

"Hey buddy! What are you doing to Hikari?" asked Daisuke while pushing him a little.

"Nothing…geeze," with that Takeru left.

"What a freak," Daisuke scowled as Hikari was barely able to get her suitcase out of the car.

Maybe I should have asked him for help…cause Daisuke isn't helping…

Daisuke, Taichi and her parents left as she got set up in her bunk. She picked a bottom bunk on the right side of the room. She had met her consoler, Melissa whose birthday was Saturday that they were leaving. She put her nametag on her purse and pulled out her red flower bucket hat as she stepped out side to get a look around.

Her cabin was in cabin number two, the Chick Monks. She though it was kind of an unusual name but at least it was a name. To the left of her cabin was cabin number one, The Neater Skeeter Eaters. Cabin number three was to the right of cabin number two, and they were called Issues. Cabin number four, the last cabin, was called Astroturf. She went to the tables to find everyone one her side of the cabin there.

"Hey! Um…Hi…um oh Kari! Come over here!" a violet hared girl called.

Kari…oh well… She went over to them.

Each of them introduced themselves. The violet hared girl went first.

"I'm Miyako! I play the tenor sax and you may call Yolei."

Then a blond went, "Hi I'm Erin and I play flute."

One of the older girls went, "I'm Sora and I play percussion."

The other older girl went, "I'm Mimi and I play clarinet."

Hikari then introduced herself, "I'm Hikari, or now Kari. And I play flute and piccolo." She smiled and sat down.

As soon as she did, Erin and Miyako started gossiping about boys. Mimi joined in soon after and Sora started talking to Kari.

"So is this your first time here?" she asked.

Kari nodded, "Yes. I'm excited too."

Sora smiled, "That's the kinda attitude this place needs. Too bad not everyone has it." Sora glanced at the three gossiping.

"And this one time at band camp I took a flute-" Yolei started but instantly got a glare from Kari and Erin, "Guys it was a joke!"

Sora responded, "A joke told to them one too many times at school so they don't need to hear it here!"

Yolei went back to her conversation, "Have you seen Hottie #1 and Hottie #2?"

Erin nodded, "They are SOO hot! I wish I knew their names!"

Sora grinned, "What if I said I know their names?"

"Then you'll become our best friend!" Erin and Yolei shouted at the same time.

"Their names are Ken and TK. Ken play the trombone and TK plays-"

Someone started speaking into a microphone, "Any flute or piccolo players please go over to camp fire for try-outs."

An immediate uproar of voices started, "Why are flutes going first?" All of the flutes went back to the cabins to get their instruments. Kari and Erin got their instruments as eight other people in their cabin did too.

~~

At campfire Kari looked over to the seats where the auditions were taking place. There was a boy with a piccolo and he was playing up a storm…and it was only a warm-up scale… bB, C, D, bE, F, G, A, bB were played faster than a vivace tempo. Then he went back down the scale at the same tempo. The woman next to him nodded and he then picked up his flute and started to talk. She couldn't tell what he was saying but it was something important. He put the flute on his lip softly. E, E, E..D, E, G…GAGB,B,BAGAB- and the teacher cut him off. She patted him on the back and call Erin up.

Kari thought Erin did fairly well. Soon after, it was her turn. She walked up almost shaking. She hadn't competed for chairs in a long time.

"Hi what's your name?" the older woman asked.

"I'm H-Hikari Yagami," she replied shakily.

"Well it's nice to meet you Hikari. I'm Mrs. O ' Neil. Now can you play your scale on your flute first and then your pic."

Hikari put on a fake smile and then tried to play. bB, C, D, bE, F, G, A bB…She hadn't messed up on the scale even though she was really nervous but she wasn't playing that fast…She picked up her piccolo and played the scale much worse. bB, C, D, bE,The 'F' note wasn't coming out and she started to panic. F, G, A, bB.

"That was very nice Hikari. Now can you play something from your books, memory..?" Mrs. O ' Neil asked.

Kari's face went white…We were SUPPOSED to bring our books???!!! "I'm sorry Mrs. O ' Neil…but I don't have my books…"

"It's okay Hikari. Since you don't just play from this." She showed the girl an easy piece of music. bB, bB, C, D, F, D, C, bB…bB, F, bB, bE, D, bB… Mrs. O'neil cut her off.

"Very nicely done Hikari. I'll see you later!" Kari left sighing…I could have done much better…

Later that night at dinner they had chicken but Kari didn't feel like eating. She was nervous about chairs so she just played with her food. Miyako seemed to notice.

"Kari, what's wrong?" she asked as Kari sighed.

"I did horrible in the try-outs…I probably did the worst out of everyone…" Kari looked at the ground.

Erin rolled her eyes, "Kari, please! I couldn't even play my scale correct! And from what Mrs. O'neil said, I was out of tune. So you probably did a lot better than I did."

"I don't think so. I heard you play. You can play fairly well. Probably better than me…" Kari looked sad.

"What's wrong Kari?" Sora asked, "They're only chairs, no big deal!"

"Yeah…I guess you're right Sora!" she smiled and then started eating.

With everyone happy and content the first announcements for camp started, "Hello everyone. For first announcements, let's say that everyone did excellent in tryouts today so give yourselves around of applause."

Every clapped. Very loudly and when it finally died down the man continued.

"Now look what we have here…Someone has already lost something…" he held up two nametags and read the names, "Hikari Yagami and Takeru Takashi."

Everyone went "Oooooo!" at the same time as Kari and Takeru walked up to the stage.

The older man shook his head, "Takeru…already…And you must be Hikari."

It was Hikari's first year going to this camp so she didn't really know anyone.

"Now since Takeru knows the song so well…" some of the boys at his table laughed and Takeru smirked, "I think he can teach this young lady it."

Takeru's grin widened as he whispered it in her ear. Her face lost its color for the second time that day. The song lyrics were funny if you were the one who didn't have to sing them. She felt as though she was going to vomit when she told Takeru that she knew them. He placed his finger on his head like a ballerina and Kari followed suit. Then they started to sing. As loud as possible. And they started spinning around.

"I'm a little prairie flower!

Growing wilder by the hour!"

A coarse of boos came from the crowd and then they started say "Table! Table!"

"I wish I may!

I wish I might!

Have my nametag back tonight!"

The crowd still was shouting table even though they were done. The director of the camp turned to them.

"I think you two should go on the table," He pointed to the two hard wood tables in front.

Takeru jumped off the stage and got up on the one by the boys. Kari jumped down more carefully and got on her cabins table. They looked at each other and started again. Both of them shouted this time.

"I'M A LITTLE PRAIRIE FLOWER!

GROWING WILDER BY THE HOUR!

I WISH I MAY!

I WISH I MIGHT!

HAVE MY NAMETAG BACK TONIGHT!!!"

Everyone was clapping this time and whistling. Kari jumped off the table to get her nametag and went back to her table. All of her cabin mates clapped or whistled for her.

Everyone quieted down again, "Everyone, clean up your mess and lights out at…well stay up as late as you want tonight. Call it a gift."

~~

Kari was back at the cabin just sitting and waiting for everyone else to come back. It was already nine and they were going to start sending people back anytime. Melissa came in with the rest of the cabin following her.

"Okay everyone, here are the results of tryouts. Yolei, you got second out of 3 tenor saxs. Erin, you got eleventh out of 20 flutes. Sora, your fifth in drums in concert band and forth in symphonic."

"How did I get the better chair in the better bad?" Sora asked confused.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, Mimi you thirteenth out of 18 clarinets. Alivia, you got fifteenth in flutes. Nicole you got eighth in flutes. Elaine you're twelfth in flutes. Tara you got seventeenth in flutes. Samantha, you got fifth. And last but certainly not least, Kari got second out of the twenty flutes." Everyone in the cabin clapped for Kari.

"Do you know who beat her Melissa?" Sora asked.

"I'm not exactly sure but I know it was a boy in the cabin 'Team Sally'."

Everyone shuddered at the name. Sally was a rubber chicken that was the mascot for boy's cabin number two. A boy named Bryant had brought it to camp and claimed it was his girl friend. There was something wrong about it in a sense…

"Okay everyone, now I don't care what Dr. Mac said we have an early start tomorrow so get some sleep."

Everyone, already in their pajamas went to their beds and started to slowly go to sleep. Kari thought just before she went to sleep, This my friends…is the prelude to hell………………….and she finally drifted to sleep.
