Chapter 4: Newcomers

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Grojband or Fall out Boy!)

Corey and Laney were in Katrina's room. "So what's going on?" asked Corey.

"We should think of some songs to play at the prom," said Katrina.

"Oh yeah," said Corey, "People want a cool and rad set list in a gig."

"Totally with Corey on that idea." Laney said smiling.

"Yeah," said Katrina. She was looking through the diary thoughts. "Used it, seen it, crushed it," said Katrina.

Corey noticed something different about her diary. "Hey, did you get a new diary?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's because my pages were full." Katrina explained.

She kept looking.

"Actually, I think I have something," said Corey. "Let's see em," said Laney. Corey got out a guitar and started singing.

I'm two quarters and a heart down

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds

These words are all I have so I write them

I need them just to get by

Dance, dance

We're falling apart to half time

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Dance this is the way they'd look

If they knew how misery loved me

Melina heard the lyrics. "Guys that was amazing! That song would totally match for prom!" Melina said happily.

"Yeah, but the lyrics aren't yet finished," said Corey.

"I can help you finish them," said Katrina.

Lanye played a bass line.

"That would make a nice bass line," said Corey.

"Wow that was amazing Laney," Melina said clapping along with the others.

Kin and Kon came in the room.

"Kon we're supposed to knock," said Kin.

"Sorry," said Kon as he knocked.

"We got big news!" said Kin.

"What is it?" Corey said.

"Apparently this band 'One for All' is coming to town," said Kin, "They're said to be the best alternative rock group known to date."

"One for All?" asked Laney.

"Wait... you know them?" asked Melina.

"Their lead singer is my mortal enemy... Amanda," said Laney.

"Ugh Amanda my ex!" Corey scoffed.

"Who's Amanda?" asked Katrina.

"Just the girl I hate. She's the one that bullies Carrie a lot." Laney eplained and then turned to Corey, "And I have no idea why you dated that girl."

"I second that emotion," said Corey.

"Good thing your not dating her anymore, and ho know what the hey could of happened." Laney said.

"Yeah," said Corey.

"So why is that poser coming here?" asked Laney.

"Aparrently to get attention," said Corey.

"And she better not be kissing Core or other she's dead." Everyone backed away from Laney.

"Wow, someone's jealous," said Kon.

"Shut up! Since me and Corey are together and are like two peas in a pod, she will never break us apart." Laney went to Corey and hugged him.

Corey smiled.

"Okay guys enough lovey dovey love. We need to get on with the lyrics." Kon said.

"Oh right," said Corey.

"Sorry." Laney in a grumpy tone and let go off Corey.

"Don't worry, later on will go on a date just us two." Corey whispered as Laney smiled.

"Alright, now let's get this song ready," said Katrina.

(Newmans Transition!)

Someone knocked on the Newmans's garage door.

"Who is it?" asked Carrie.

The door opened revealing Melvin, Larry's cousin.

"Hey man!" said Larry as he high fived him.

"So what brings you here," said Carrie smiling

"Well my grandma wants me to spend time with her more." Melvin explained.

"Ah," said Carrie.

"Hey Mel," said Kim.

Lenny put his hand on his own face. "Oh brother," he said

"So, your the cute girl." Melvin said going to Kim as she blushed darkly.

Konnie giggled and Kim shaked her fist at her and she stopped.

Meanehile some musicians were driving to peaceville. "There it is," said one of them.

"Yep, this is the life." Another said.

Amanda was looking at the city. "Time to have some fun," she said.

The Kids Aren't Alright (From American Beauty/American Psycho.

Amanda: Stuck in the jet wash.

Bad trip I couldn't get off.

And maybe I bit off more than I could chew

And overhead of the aqua blue.

Fall to your knees, bring on the rapture.

Blessed be the boys time can't capture

On film or between the sheets.

I always fall from your window to the pitch-black streets.

And with the black banners raised

As the crooked smiles fade.

Former heroes who quit too late.

Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again.

And in the end

I'd do it all again.

I think you're my best friend.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

And I'll be yours.

When it rains it pours.

Stay thirsty like before.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

I'm not passive but aggressive.

Take note it's not impressive.

Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floor

We put your curse in reverse.

And it's our time now if you want it to be.

Maul the world like a carnival bear set free.

And your love is anemic.

And I can't believe that you couldn't see it coming for me.

And I still feel that rush in my veins.

It twists my head just a bit to think.

All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead.

And in the end

I'd do it all again.

I think you're my best friend.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

And I'll be yours.

When it rains it pours.

Stay thirsty like before.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

And sometimes I just wanna sit around and gaze at my shoes.

And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon.

And in the end

I'd do it all again.

I think you're my best friend.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

And I'll be yours.

When it rains it pours.

Stay thirsty like before.

Don't you know that the kids aren't al—, kids aren't alright?

(Looks like a new group of musicians is heading for Peaceville. Who are they and will they be a challenge to Grojband AND the newmans? Tune in and find out!)
