A/N: Here is the second chapter, I hope you people like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own any right to Canada's got Talent, Victoria Duffield, or her song, 'More than Friends'. The characters are mine though.
It was 12:05 and everyone had assembled in the band room. As they finished up their lunches, I pulled out a sign-up sheet, the prizes, and the rules. I passed the sign-up sheet to Teagan, rules to Jenessa, and the prizes to Cody. I passed a piece of loose-leaf to Hannah, and sat with my own, waiting for some response from the others. When no one said anything, I jutted in, "the first thing we have to do is find out what we're doing, and our name,"
"Well that's easy!" Hannah exclaimed, "He's Cody, she's Jenessa, I'm Hannah, and that's Teagan!" We all simultaneously face palmed and looked at each other.
"Well, we all succeed at a pop musical instrument, Jenessa on guitar, Teagan on drums, and you and I are great piano players, and also a great singer, Rachael and Hannah… Um… She can play the spoons." Cody proposed, suddenly remembering that Hannah had nothing she played that was in pop music, or that she was a superstar at. Jenessa and I both had to restrain Hannah before she lunged and drew blood from Cody's face.
"Well then, Cody plays piano, and Rachael can sing. Hannah can be the other singer slash backup singer," Teagan tried, watching the rage melt from Hannah's eyes at the mention of being one of the singers. Jenessa decided that it would be best if she sat right beside Hannah, if another item came up that left one of us girls out.
"Okay then, it's decided that we'll be a band, so now what is our stage name going to be?" I asked, pulling some emphasis on stage. We all came up with some funny ones, but when we googled them, they were either already used in the competition, or already a band somewhere else. At one point, we found one that we all agreed on, and googled it. It being neither, we were stunned, but then I clicked page refresh, and some school in Victoria had beaten us to get the name. After some sighs, we decided that during our hour long break, we'd meet up in the skylight hallway to work on names. From now till then, we were supposed to think of names for this awesome-to-be band. During the next two hours, I chose ten from my twenty names, and some name starts, like favorite breed of dog, favorite ice cream flavour, favorite movie, favorite book, and favorite song.
When the Study break session started, I was amazed that everyone was already there and had gotten us a table. I noticed that they had gotten me a chair hand had put it on the side that Teagan was sitting on. I smiled and approached, wondering what they were talking about already. As I got closer I realised that they weren't talking, they were fighting, and by they, I mean Hannah and Cody. Teagan had Cody down by his tee-shirt, and Jenessa had Hannah by one of her gold hoop earrings. When the two of them took a break to breath, I took my seat at the table and smirked, have heard the last comment Hannah had shrieked at Cody, "well on that happy note, anyone have a name that they want to search?" That was how the meeting started. We decided while taking a break from name searching that we would play the song, 'More Than Friends' by Victoria Duffield, as it was one of Hannah, Jenessa and my favorite songs and I knew the lyrics by heart, and in a couple plays and re-plays of the song, so did the others. I hoped that maybe we would be able to win this. Wouldn't it be fun to be representing your school in something that I love? No matter what happened, I knew we would have fun. But there was one question that we still had to answer. "So, what's your favorite ice cream flavor, and favorite dog breed?" I asked, and as the answers poured in from the band members, we came up with the Chocolate Pugs, Birthday Whippets, Orange-Mango Pit bulls, or the Tiger Shepherds. We all decided that chocolate pugs would be weird, because we were all in great shape, so with some complaining from Hannah, that one was crossed off the list. There was a point where we all said we didn't like mangos, so Orange-Mango Pit Bulls was crossed off also. It came down to The Birthday Whippets, or the Tiger Shepherds. As I brought up the topic of having to colour Whippets to look like a birthday party, and having a whole bunch of different Shepherd breeds, including the German, Australian, Central Asian, Belgian, and Shiloh Shepherds with tiger colours, we decided that Shepherds would be easier to find in our province, and that Tiger Shepherd sounded both cooler and more macho than Birthday Whippets. So we had our name, and we had what song we were going to play. All we had to do was practice. So I suggested setting up a system that we'd go to a certain person's house on a certain day, and then we'd have our song down for the talent show which was in 15 days. We also had to figure out where the others would find their shepherd dogs that would come on stage with us. I had already said that I was taking Gwen, my German Shepherd who had fallen asleep on my legs. Tomorrow we'd put our plan into action, and everyone except Hannah nominated me to hold the first practice at my house. There was not much other than to give our sign-up form to the principal and practice to do, so we went our separate ways and didn't see each other till the next day when we were practicing at my house. Right before everyone arrived, I was jumping around, making sure that everything was perfect, and that the pizza that I had made wasn't burnt. I was so sure that nothing could go wrong that that our practice would go as smoothly as Victoria Duffield's voice was in the song we were working to perform.
