If you are offended by the TJ part, I am sorry I mean no harm. Now here's the second chapter. Enjoy! Tell your friends! And I've decided that I'm going to make it like some of the songs haven't been made yet. R&R!
Jimmy wakes up to his phone ringing on his bedside table.
"Hello?" Jimmy says sleepily.
"Jimmy you have to get down here now! Get on your bike and get down to the candy shop!" Martha yells at Jimmy through the phone.
"Ok, fine. I'll be there in a minute." Jimmy says.
Jimmy threw on his clothes, laced up his shoes, and started towards the candy shop. Once he gets there, there is a huge crowd outside that includes the Ed's, Kevin, Nick, Nazz, and Rolf. Martha and Sarah run over to him and Martha grabs his hand.
"Look at this Jimmy!" Martha says leading him to the Candy Shop window. On it was a sign that advertises something.
"Peach Creek High School Music Festival. Next Monday. Sign up in the Candy Shop, Coffee Shop or the Mall. Ages 13 to 20. A competition against the top ten bands to be in the festival. Be there or be square" Jimmy says reading it. "Monday is in two days."
"I know but this is our chance! With your piano and singing and Sarah and me playing guitar, we'll be amazing!" Martha says.
"Yeah, and sleeping later would be even more amazing." Jimmy says rubbing his eyes.
"Oh stop it!" she says lightly hitting him in the arm. Jimmy looks into her eyes and smiles.
"Alright this is weird. Let's go sign up." Sarah says.
"But we need a bassist and a drummer." Jimmy says.
"So you need a bassist, eh?" a random hooded figure says walking up to them.
"Yeah, who are you?" Jimmy says.
"It's me, Jonny." Jonny says, pulling off the hood.
Jonny is still bald and melon headed, but he is also taller. He wears a black hoodie with the Spyder logo and dark blue jeans. He wears Cobian flip-flops and a backpack for plank. He taught himself to play bass. He likes to listen to Indie rock and post-punk.
"Ok then. Why should we pick you we don't even know you that well." Sarah says.
"He's in, we need a bassist." Martha says.
"Now we need a drummer." Sarah says.
"I can play the drums." a black boy around Jimmy and Sarah's age walks up.
"Is everyone listening to our conversation?" Jimmy says looking around.
"What's your name?" Martha asks.
"TJ." TJ says.
TJ is a muscularly built black boy with dreadlocks. He wears a Celtics shirt and basketball shoes and shorts. He can obviously play the drums. He enjoys listening to Hip-Hop and RnB but also listens to some rock.
"Alright you're in." Martha says.
"That was easy!" Jonny says.
They walk inside and go up to the counter. A lady at the desk smiles at them and slides out a slip.
"This slip will make you eligible to perform in the Festival. Make sure you have a singer and at least two instruments."
"Thanks." Jimmy says writing their names on the sheet.
When he finished, they walked outside after buying some candy. Jonny is engulfing his face in gummy worms, as the rest of them give him an odd look.
"Alright. Let's meet at my house. Jonny do you have a car?" Jimmy says.
"Yeah, a beat up old van." Jonny says between bites.
"Alright, help out TJ and get his drums over to my garage. Sarah and Martha, let's go." Jimmy says.
They say goodbye, and they head off to Jimmy's house, after making stops at Martha's and Sarah's houses to get their guitars and Sarah's violin. After a jam session, Jonny and TJ show up. They get out of the car with hamburgers and open the back door where the drums are.
Jimmy walks over to them and says, "What is this?"
"My drums." TJ says acting offended.
"No the food." Jimmy says.
"It's just some McRonalds! Here we got all of you milk shakes."
"Awesome!" Martha says walking over on her hands.
"That's not weird." TJ mutters.
Jimmy grabs a snare and his milk shake and brings them to the garage. When they have all the drum equipment in the garage there ready to go.
"Ok, what songs do you know, TJ?" Jimmy asked.
"I can play anything from a simple to intermediate range." he said.
"Same with me." Jonny said.
"That's awesome guys. Here try this." Jimmy said handing them the sheet music for I Will Possess Your Heart by Death Cab for Cutie.
After a little bit of studying, they start to play the beginning beat of the song. After a little bit, Jimmy starts to play his keyboard. Martha and Sarah join in, and they've started to play the whole song! After a raise in volume, it quiets down and Jimmy starts to sing. Once their finished with the song, TJ randomly starts a drum solo.
"That was freaking awesome." TJ said, sweating from the whole thing.
"We're going to own this competition." Sarah said.
"Yeah we are!" Martha said, doing a knuckle touch Blades of Glory style. After a bit of laughing they put up there instruments and everyone goes home.
