Chapter One

Estrogen Side

The morning started out as normally as possible. A loud siren rang through a crack shack apartment in San Francisco, and four friends were less then welcoming to the noise. The first one to wake up, would be able to gain full access to the bathroom, the cleanest bowl for their cereal and hell, what could possible be the last amount of spare change in the couch to get to work.

But who would it be?

Who would be willing to get out of the safety and security of their personal space? Their bed, just for some typical comforts? Hot water in the shower. The last squirt of that raspberry shampoo.

Four girls.

And no sign of life.

The alarm clack rang over a self-made system, ringing repeatedly. Groans of life erupted from the main two bedrooms. Accompanied with the typical pillow hurling at the speakers. Someone would have to get up. To spare the others of the loud noise and to reap the rewards that came with being the first out of bed.

No one moved. However, now each girl was pillow less and grew rapidly uncomfortable in such a state. Rachel Roth, typically referred to as Raven, the youngest of all the girls, compensated by rolling her blanket corner into a small ball. Determined to grasp onto the fleeting moments of sleep, the last seconds that she would be asleep, before being hurled into an unforgiving and long day of busting tables for minimum wage. Her roommate and best friend slash clothes thieve tossed a carefully protected second pillow towards her. Nicole Diaz, the second oldest, the klepto and known as Jinx, didn't want to get rid of the alarm either. But was dead set on making her so-called best friend do it. A warm shower was nothing compared to extra sleep. Raven picked up the pillow, while placing it under her dyed purple hair. A muttered groan of,

"You bitch…give it back…" Jinx groaned as Raven stuck out her tongue, "Real mature Raven… you trollop."

Down the hall, the siren rang through the bedroom. More groans and tossed pillows. As well as ceramic objects and hell even a few shoes. Kori Anders, the oldest girl in the fearsome foursome of girls picked up her natural bright red head off the pillow, while scratching her head. The fuzziness of sleep still clinging to her. Her roommate, Karen Beecher-Duncan slept soundly, a pair of black and yellow fuzzy earmuffs clasps firmly on her ears.

"Friend-Bee… will you be waking soon?" the overly sweet and naïve voice belonging to the one and only Starfire. Kori aka Starfire looked over to her best friend, she received the nickname Bumblebee, due to her obsession with the colors black and yellow and their many different stripped options. Kori laid back down; surely, someone down the hall would get up. Jinx never let the alarm go for more then half an hour. None of them liked that thing. But this whole playing in a rock band thing, paid shit until you got big. Part time jobs were part of surviving. Even if it consisted of lame jobs. Raven and Bee busted tables at a local diner, an itty-bitty little outfits and a boss that was a total creeper. Starfire, she stacked books at a near by used bookstore, and sometimes filled in for the barrister. Might explain why she was always so full of energy. Too many free samples of the coffee. Made it seem like the girl was going on a perpetual sugar high. As for Jinx, well as much as everyone hated to admit it, she did what she did best. Thieving during the day and dancing topless at night.

It was a normal set up. Four girls who loved being best friends. All completely different from each other, but there through whatever life threw at them. It was a girl power ego trip. In the immortal words of Ginger Spice, the feminist with the greatest shoes, known to mankind "Girl Power!" Who needed stinky boys when they had their friendship? Okay, maybe men played into their lives every once in a while. A boyfriend here, a fling there. Nothing that ever seemed to last. Raven dated this guy Malchoir for a few weeks. Made her insanely happy. Until he got what he wanted. Convince that he loved her, they had sex and he ran. When Starfire was almost forced into marrying a man by the name of Karras, he was killed before they could eve enjoy their wedding bliss. Still a virgin by all standards, which is the main trait she shared with Bumblebee. She was a very…angry and aggressive type of woman, not something that every man wanted to try to take on. Last, was the ever…open, Jinx. She never really talked about her first time. According to Bee, who grew up with the pink-haired klepto, she was raped as a kid. Repeatedly by her stepfather. Jinx had issues with commitment and she didn't care who knew it.

There wasn't much that the girls could do for each other…besides staying the best of friends. There was a sign of life from third room in the house. A dark haired male kicked open the apartment door. Holding a box of doughnuts. Fresh, warm and just out of the Krispy Kreme ovens. A tray of hot steamy drinkables sitting on top. Four coffees and a cup of something that ended in 'ito' and had some complex caramel/chocolate/whipped cream at the top, God Jinx was so high maintenance sometimes. Garth balanced everything on one hand, while trying not to trip in the pigsty that these girls called their home. He was used to the alarm. As well as the overall laziness of the girls. He set down the box, while turning off the alarm. A few easy buttons on the pin pad next to the couch, the apartment filled with a grateful moan as the dark haired male smiled. At the same time, four very different voices all yelled at him the same time,

"We love you Garth."

Only known as Garth. Any sign of a last name had been deleted years ago when he became emancipated from his abusive parents. They found out he was gay in high school and after many various exorcisms and homo'no'mo camps they finally decided that just forgetting that they had a son would be better. He was okay with it. Living with some friends, he made at homo'no'mo camp, and becoming a band manager for the greatest underground all-girl band, that San-Fran has ever heard. Disenchanted. Lead vocals, Karen Beecher-Duncan. Bassist and back-up vocals, Raven Roth. Guitarist, Kori Anders and the ever-talented Nicole Diaz on drums. They were a great group. Some serious potential.

"I love you too girls." damn, did that make him feel like Charlie, or what? A bedroom door opened, as his first Angel walked out. Kori. The naïve European-chick. She was over six foot tall, long legs and a body to die for. She wore a pair of purple pajama pants and a matching tank top. Her English was still off, she didn't understand idioms all that well and had the strangest diet. Usually consisting of drinking mustard.

"Morning, Friend-Garth." She sat down at the table, while taking a doughnut and a cup of coffee for herself.

"Morning, Starfire." She smiled, as I looked to see if anyone was coming next. He could hear some arguing in the farthest room. Jinx and Raven. More alike then either of them wanted to admit. Probably getting ready for a foot race to the coffee. There was a reason he only got one chocolate coated with rainbow sprinkles. There were only few times in life when two Goth girls would race for something colorful. The door opened. One their mark. Get set. GO! Jinx and Raven lined up, using the relatively straight line of chained clothes as a starting line. They started running, as Garth held up the Golden Prize. That hot rich and chocolaty breakfast was at stake here. Jinx was in the lead. Then Raven. Then a perfect tie.

Jinx.

Raven.

Jinx. And the winner. The pink haired wonder of the world… Jinx. She took her prize, while sitting down next to Starfire. "You brought us doughnuts, we feel your love Garth." Raven picked up a plain doughnut while sipping her black coffee. Felt great going down.

"Anyone hear from Bee?" Starfire shook her head, as they looked expectantly to the closest bedroom. A low grumble came from the bedroom, Garth went to the bedroom with a cup of coffee, and he opened the lid and waited for any signs of life. The door opened, he smiled while trying to use some of his charm to soothe the beast. She took the coffee, while taking as deep of a drink as she could. Without doing severe damage to her throat from the burning liquid. "Do you love me?" she threw her arms around the taller male, while letting him drag her to where the pretty doughnuts were being pawed through. Bee sat down on Raven's lap, while drinking more of her coffee. Starfire and Jinx munched away happily, while trying to keep warm in they're below freezing apartment.

Starfire never wanted to complain about it, her parents bought them this place. Back in Europe, she was considered royalty. When her parents found out she wanted to be a musician, they wanted to cut her off completely. But, apparently, it was too much of a scandal to have a disowned Princess, roaming around America. So, they paid for the apartment. The girls had to have a monthly dinner with Star's parents, be on their best behavior and be civil, or no check. Money ran their world. It's just right now… they didn't have any.

"When was the last time, our darling manager brought us breakfast?" Jinx asked, licking off some of the whipped cream. She put a drop of it on Garth's nose as the other girls laughed. Their laughter died down slightly. Gradually as looks of realization spread over their features. He…never…bought…them…food. He never got up and brought them something to start their day. They stared at him: brown, green, navy and pink eyes all stared at Garth and he stood there, whipped cream on his nose. He smiled while getting down on his knees. He did something terrible. All of the girls were sure of it. Raven had to slide her arms around Bee's waist to keep the ebony-haired teenager from attacking the older male. Everyone shouted, screaming and pleading for some answers. He looked up to them, while feeling grateful for Raven being there to protect him against Bee.

"I signed you guys up for the upcoming battle of the bands. Winner gets a recording contract. I'm so sorry!" the girls stopped yelling, instantly replaced with squeals of excitement. Bee and Raven hugged as Jinx and Star jumped around, yelling that they were going to be famous. Garth stood up, while looking to their expressions. Weren't they going to be upset he didn't talk to them first? Consult them before making such a huge decision? Ah well, he wasn't being killed and there were doughnuts. Life is good. "So, you're not mad?" he asked, taking a piece off for himself.

"You're going to make us famous. Why would we be mad?" Jinx draped her arms around Garth, while kissing him on the cheek. "You sure you're not interested?" the other girls groaned as Garth laughed. Jinx had been desperate to get into his pants. He tapped her arms slightly, while asking point-blank.

"You have a penis yet?"

"Not now, not ever." She let go, while going back to her chair. Putting her skeleton themed pajama pants on the table. Right next to the coffee cups. Bee leaned back against her friend, while dunking the doughnut into her coffee. "Your main competition is this brand new guy's group. They just came from the east coast; they're called Brain Damage. Very good. The other bands are shit. But I still want you four to get ready to practice your asses off." Everyone raised a hand in mock salute, while feasting on the only meal their friend/manager ever gave them.

Chapter One done!

Well my precious, darling and super amazing vampire BFF Roxy, I hope you're happy that chapter one is finished. I know it's not the same format as the original ficlet starter, but I had a sugar rush and the whole alarm system was stuck in my head now that school started back up. So, I hope everyone liked this fic. Be sure to check out our other fic under this name, called Deadly Obsessions. Same pairings and same fandom. If you have an idea for the fic that you wish to share, please let us know in a review.
