Ch 2: The return and DDR.
Part 1: The return
Bridget sat in the band room on Monday. It would be her first practice back from her war with the plague and she was fine, well other then the fact that her medicine made her more out of whatever loop of life that most people were usually in. She sat, trying to get her eyes to focus on her music while Maggie, one of her best friends and a flute player, danced around Tony singing.
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts," she started
"De da de le de." Tony said.
"There they are a standing in a row." Bridget chorused.
"Bum, bum, bum." Tony said, now starting to sound more exasperated.
"Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head-" Bridget and Maggie cried then stopped when Tom came in staring at them.
"You people have problems." He said.
"Yah and they would require a shrink and lots of medication. What's your point?" Maggie asked as she tapped her foot impatiently.
"I have no point. I'm just a bass drummer." He said.
"Well then stop stating the obvious." Bridget said as she bobbed her head to some music that no one else could hear but her. Tom shook his head and walked to the back room to get his drum. Kris slowly walked over to Tony and played a very high note on his alto sax in the other Saxes ear. Tony got up and started to case him around the room. Kris grabbed one of Tom's drumsticks and hit Tony's knee with it. Tony fell to one knee but got a hold of Kris'.
"I'm gonna rip out your knee caps!" Tony yelled as they fought.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Kris said as he finally got free and started running around again.
"It must be nice to have such a small instrument so you can annoy people then run really fast with it on." Tom said, watching the ongoing war between the Saxes continue. Tony now had Kris in a headlock and was threatening to rip out his collarbone when Ms. Ed came in two see that and Bridget and Maggie laughing on the floor, clutching their instruments.
"What the...no I'm not gonna ask. I see no blood therefore I see no paperwork." She said as she walked to the front of the room. She stopped at the feet of the two girls who were trying to get a hold of themselves. "Ok get up and outside. Now we march."
"Yea!" Maggie and Bridget yelled and ran over to the door.
"Booo." Tony said and let Kris out of the headlock.
"Come on, come on." Maggie said and bounced impatiently.
"You act like a five-year-old." Tom said as they walked outside.
"No she doesn't." Bridget cried. "You're giving her WAY to much credit. She acts like a two-year-old. Right, Maggs?" Bridget looked at her friend questioningly. Maggie nodded her head vigorously.
"Yep."
"My God who gave her sugar?" Mike asked.
"I don't know, but whoever did should be drug out into some street and shot." Morgan, a senor flute, said as she walked out wrapping her coat around her. The rest of the band slowly came out, Ms Ed last.
"Ahhhh. It's cold." She cried.
"Oh, well all of us figured that out and we don't even have college degrees." Mike said as he rubbed his hands together.
"Yah well, not all of us are so long and skinny that we could wrap our legs and arms around ourselves and be warm." Ms Ed said to the extremely tall drum major. "Come, on. Let's get marching so we can go back inside." They marched around the school about three times before Angel yelled
"My legs are burning!"
"It's a good pain." Bridget said from behind her.
"Shut up you stupid trombone!" Angel growled. Bridget stuck her tongue out at her but kept her mouth shut.
"Alright, we're going to start playing now. Mean Green mother first."
"I still don't think that we should play that." Margaret stated.
"It's got green in it. Besides they'll all be too drunk to know what we're playing now go." They started to play but when Bridget went to pull out her slide she realized that her slid oil was frozen.
Now it was the second practice of the week. (We have two days of band and two days of chorus, this parade actually cuts into out concert time) No one was there. Well most of the drummers were and four instrumentalists but that was about it. They lined up in front of the school to march a little.
"Come on Mike, let us kick off the cadence now." Tom wined.
"No." came the reply.
"Why?"
"Because you guys always mess it up and I'm mentally preparing myself for it." He said with a smile to the rest of the band. They marched for about five more minutes back and forth then Mike told the drummers to kick it off. They did.
"Mark time, mark!" came the sudden command. All of the instrumentalists stopped but the drummers kept going till they reached the end of the road, turned back around and realized that no one was behind them and that their drum major was hitting his head off a tree.
Part two: Dance dance Revolution
Bridget stood in shock watching her friend Kris play Dance dance Revolution (You know that big game in the mall that you dance on). It looked hard and most of the band was coming to have a mall day before the big parade tomorrow. Kris stopped and Bridget clapped.
"Whooo! Great job." She yelled as he walked over to her. The two bandos got some lunch and weighted for the others to come. Bridget was walking back from the bathroom when she saw Maggie and Julie, she's not a bando but she acts like one anyway, standing watching Kris. Bridget slowed her paced but they saw her anyway. Bridget braced herself and BOOM! Maggie and Julie tackled her in the middle of the mall. They watched some other kids play some a little while then Maggie and Bridget got on.
"Oh we're gonna suck." Bridget said with a sigh.
"At least we won't suck alone." Maggie said and the two bandos gave each other a high five before starting. Well at first they did but the second time they did a lot better, well they didn't fall anyway. The three girls decided to go to Walden's books and started down the mall.
"Hay! Crack monkeys, you better weight up." Julie called as the other two roll stepped across the mall.
"But we're not even going fast." Maggie said.
"It doesn't matter 'cause we're here." The three girls stepped inside and Bridget started to spin around to their favorite section.
"Hay, I'm gonna get the tranquilizers if you don't clam down." Julie warned the younger girl. Bridget stood very still and made a pouting face then suddenly turned around.
"Maggiiiieeeeeeee, Julie's threatening me." Bridget wined.
"Suck it up." Maggie said from the floor. She was engrossed in a Star Wars book. They each found a few books that they wanted but where staying in the bookstore anyway. They were sitting on the floor looking at the Science Fiction section when Julie burst out laughing.
"What?" Maggie asked Bridget was trying to find an Earth Final Conflict book without much avail.
"This is flippin' hysterical." She said and went to stand up.
"Julie! Watch out or else we'll have a repeat of last time." Maggie warned. Bridget shuddered at the memory. (Cue the flash back wavery lines) The three girls were standing next to a display of Star Trick books and Julie had bumped into Bridget who had knocked it over. Bridget and Julie had to try to pick them all up before the sales lady came over while laughing uncontrollably. Though captain Kirk's head didn't look quite right after that.
Ok, there's the end of the second chapter. The next one is the parade itself and truest me it's interesting to say the least. Ok, now you see that little box to your left that says, "review". Yah, you know the one. Click on it. Come on you can do it. Thanks for reading and I'll try to get the next part out soon.
