Chapter 4: The Studio: (A/N): Here's chapter 4! Hope y'all like it! :)
(Danny's POV): I woke up to the smell of something good downstairs. I got dressed, grabbed my charged phone, and went downstairs. I saw Gazelle making us more pancakes, and Sydney already sitting at the table. When I sat down, both girls noticed me.
"Morning Danny!" Sydney smiled, while Gazelle just nodded.
"Morning Syd! Morning Gazelle." I replied a little tired.
Gazelle, then, put our plates of pancakes at our places, so we could eat quickly. After we ate those delicious pancakes, we washed our dishes in the kitchen sink. After that Gazelle checked the time, and it read 10:00 am.
"Ok! It's time to go to my studio!" Gazelle smiled.
"Ok." Sydney and I replied happily.
We got into Gazelle's car, and we then drove off towards Gazelle's studio. On the way, Sydney and I saw so many cool buildings because we've only been to a part of the Downtown area in Zootopia. I guessed that the studio was in the heart of the Downtown area. We also had to pass the shady looking part of the Downtown area, and we had gotten some bad vibes from it. When we got there, the studio looked so amazing and it was a big one story building! We went inside, and the inside was the same way on how we felt about the outside! Gazelle told us that anyone can use the studios, but there's a special studio just for her. The three of us were going to be going into that studio! The special studio was downstairs in the basement of the building. There was an elevator for going up and down the two floors, but it could only be used for Gazelle and if she brought featuring artists down with her. When we got down to the floor with Gazelle's studio, the three of us had to walk down a small hallway, and when we reached the studio, it looked so awesome!
"Your studio is so awesome!" I exclaimed happily.
"Thanks!" Gazelle smiled.
There was another animal in the room with the mixer boards, recording stuff, midi keyboards, and other stuff that were used in a studio. He was a moose, and he wore a red flannel shirt, khakis, and a pair of shades. Gazelle introduced us to him, so we wouldn't feel nervous around him at all.
"Danny, Sydney, this is David!" Gazelle smiled as she introduced us.
"Hey there!" David replied with a smile.
"Hi!" I said happily, while Sydney just smiled.
"You two just sit here in this room with David, so you guys get how this works, ok?" Gazelle smiled and pointed to the couches in the room where David was.
"Ok." Sydney and I replied with a smile, and headed into the room.
Sydney and I just sat on the couches, and waited for Gazelle to start practicing her new song. When the music started to play, we were excited for her new song. Before we started though, Gazelle made us promise not to tell anyone about her new song yet. The song was called "Gravitate Towards You". The beat had pop star beats with a little bit of rap beats with the pop beats. The song was really good, and we liked it a lot. After the song had ended, Sydney and I stood up and clapped and smiled, for Gazelle doing a really good job with her song.
"Thanks darlings!" Gazelle smiled and bowed.
"Your welcome Gazelle." I replied happily.
(Finnick's POV): I was just walking around Downtown and listening to French rap music, which was my favorite music, when I saw Gazelle and the twins walk out of the recording studios building. I was wondering about why the twins were there with Gazelle, while I continued walking back to my van and listening to my music on my phone. When I got into my van, which was in a parking lot, I put my seat belt on, put my phone and headphones on the seat next to me, and drove back to me and Nick's apartment. When I got home, I parked my van, walked into our apartment, and plugged in my phone to charge. I searched the apartment for food because I was really hungry, and I did find some mac and cheese. It was the best option for eating, so I made the mac and cheese. After I made my food, I put some in a bowl, grabbed a spoon, and sat on the couch to watch some TV. While I ate my mac and cheese, I just flipped through the channels, until I found my favorite TV show. When my TV show ended, I went into the kitchen, climbed the counter of the sink, and washed my bowl and spoon clean because I finished the mac and cheese when my TV show was over. I climbed back down, and went to go sit on the couch again. That's when Nick came in through the front door.
"Hey bud." Nick smiled.
"Hey." I replied while getting my phone and headphones from the charger.
"How was your day?" Nick asked while looking for food in the fridge.
"Pretty good, how about you?" I answered.
"Same." Nick smiled.
"If you need me, I'm in my room with my headphones on." I stated, while putting my headphones on and walking into my room.
I flopped onto my bed with my music on, and started looking at my social media accounts to see what was going on. There wasn't anything new, yet. Then, Nick came in, I paused my music, and took of one of the sides of my headphones.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I'm gonna go out to buy some food. You want anything?" Nick replied, while I thought if I needed anything.
"Nope because I already ate like a couple of minutes ago." I answered his question.
"Ok. See ya soon!" Nick smiled, and walked out of the apartment to get his food.
I put the side of my headphones back into my ear, and continued my very awesome music. For some reason, the thought of me liking or dating Danny kept creeping into my mind! I tried to make it leave my mind by turning up my music or looking at my phone, but the thoughts kept coming back to me!
"Agh! I like girls! But at the same time why is Danny so cute?!" I yelled in frustration and threw a pillow off of my bed.
After a few minutes I calmed down, and I just relaxed so I couldn't have another frustrated fit. I just laid on my back, and thought of on how to tell Danny about this whole situation right now. When was the right time?
(Danny's POV): When we left the studio, Gazelle took us shopping at the local mall. We had so much fun, and we bought a little bit more stuff from the mall. I guess Gazelle loves to give us things. While we were at the mall, something horrible happened! When we were going to our last store, three jerks came up to us and started to harass Gazelle! When we've had enough of them harassing her, Sydney went crazy up in their faces. It was half funny and half serious as I saw it because the jerks knew it was coming.
"Ok, you know what? Leave her alone! What did she do to you?!" Sydney exclaimed with an angry tone.
"She didn't do anything to us little girl, so why don't you take your stuff and leave!" the wolf smirked while the bear and rhino just smirked as well.
"Then why don't you take this?!" Sydney shouted, and then she stomped on their feet really hard which made them howl in pain.
"Quick run!" Sydney said to us, and we just nodded.
We quickly ran out of the mall with our things, got into Gazelle's car, and drove quickly back towards her house. When we got home, Gazelle sat down on a couch and began to tear up. Then, Sydney sat next to her and hugged her tightly, and Gazelle returned the hug.
"We won't let anything happen to you like that ever again, ok?" Sydney said.
"Ok." Gazelle replied much more calmly.
Once the both of them were more calmer than before, I checked the time at the clock read: 3:30 pm. We had so much time left on our hands, that we didn't know what we would do now. Sydney and I decided to go back to the studio, so we could write our first song. Gazelle told us that it was fine, but we would have to use one of the public studios because she or David wouldn't be there. Also, we had to leave once the building closes, which was around 10:30 pm. We agreed, and Gazelle drove us to the studio and dropped us off at the front.
We went inside and we chose studio 3 because that was the only studio open for us to use. We went into the studio, and of course we had to do everything for ourselves. Sydney got out a piece of paper and a pencil, and started to write the lyrics for verse one, first pre-chorus, and the first time of chorus. Once she was done, she went into the room with the microphone, and started to sing. I had to record it, so I did with one of the pieces of recording devices. When she was done singing that part, she came in and we switched places, so I would sing and write verse two, the second pre-chorus, and the second time of the chorus. When I was singing, Sydney did the job of recording my part of the song with the device. Once we were done with the recording stuff, we had to listen to our singing, so just in case we needed to revise something. Then, Sydney had to leave because she had to check on Gazelle.
"Just text me if you need to be picked up or there's something wrong ok?" Sydney smiled.
"Ok." I smiled back.
Once she left and got picked up by Gazelle, I checked the time and it read 5:00 pm. I had five and half hours to go to finish this song, sadly, but I had to get the work done. I had gotten started listening and revising our voices a little. That's when a dog with a green and blue hoodie, khakis, and some white Vans on came in.
"Hi! I heard you and your sister sing from the neighboring studio! I think it's really great!" the hooded dog smiled.
"Hey. Thanks, but who are you?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm Blake, and I'm a rapper and beat maker named BlueDawg." Blake replied with a smile.
"Cool. You wanna help us with the beat?" I asked him happily.
"Sure." Blake said coolly.
For the next two hours and a half we kept trying to make up the beat to our song, and finally after a really good one, we had the beat down! It was an RnBass type of beat, and we liked it a lot. Then, Blake, aka BlueDawg, asked me a question about the song.
"Can I rap the middle part?" he asked politely.
"Sure." I smiled.
Then, Blake checked the time, and his ears drooped a little.
"Sorry, I got to go home." Blake said a little sad.
"It's ok. We can do the rap tomorrow when Sydney's here." I replied cheerfully.
"Yup." he smiled.
Blake, then, got up and left the building. I saved our beat and progress on our song quickly, so it wouldn't be lost. Then, I got a text from Gazelle saying that Sydney and her were coming to pick me up because tomorrow was going to be a big day again. I cleaned up the studio, so no one would find it messy tomorrow. After I finished, I started to head outside, so Sydney and Gazelle could pick me up.

That is because of you know, life makes you take away time from writing long chapters :/ Anyway, how'd y'all like it? Also, sorry for this, but I'm making a relationship in chapter 5, and not in chapter 6. To the questions: How is Finnick going to tell Danny about the feelings for him? What is going to happen in the next chapter? If you want answers, stay tuned for another chapter of Where Worlds Meet! :) As always, redben346 out! :)
