Alex and the others sat down at a table as the Master of Ceremonies read off the top bands of the night. The M.C. was the drummer for the Subdigitals, Chris Morales. In his hand were three envelopes. Chris cleared his throat and started talking.
"Excuse me, everyone please quiet down. Thank you, now tonight we saw nine amazing bands perform and the judges have made their decisions. Now please come up as I call your band name." He said "In 3rd place, from Kashiwa Academy; The Raging Hawks."
Three kids from Kashiwa Academy stood up and walked up to the stage. Their prize was a small trophy and a check for $1,500. Chris spoke up again "In second place, the theater boys from Kashiwa Academy." Four kids dressed like theater workers stood up and walked forward to receive their medium trophy and $2,000 check. "And finally, for all you bands who have been waiting so patiently, the winner of this year's battle of the bands contest and $3,000."
Chris opened the envelope and read it out loud "From Kadic Academy, The Pop Rock Progressives!" Alex and the rest of the band stood up and started hugging each other. After claiming the large trophy and their check for $3,000; the Pop Rock Progressives had photos taken and they packed their stuff into the trunk of Alex's parent's limo, and rode back to school.
After stashing their gear they parted ways. Yumi went home, Odd and Ulrich went back to their room, Nicholas went back to his room, and when Alex got back to his room, and his girlfriend Aelita and his roommate Jeremy were waiting there for him.
"How'd you guys do?" Aelita asked.
"First place, we beat two bands from Kashiwa." Alex said
Jeremy congratulated his roommate, Aelita kissed Alex and left the room and Alex got changed into his dark blue silk pajamas before laying down on his bed and falling asleep.
