Chapter 10
The next day the six members of Lemonade Mouth met up at Wen's house, because Stella had told them to come there, so she could reveal some huge news that concerned the band. As they all besides Wen were standing in room of the bands keyboarder, they all wondered why the rebellious gitarrist had made such a big secret of the reason for the spontaneous band meeting. "You really look good by the way dude." Charlie said to Wen, who was sitting on the edge of his bed now, cause he still hadn't the strength to stand the whole time even with the crutches to support him.
"Yeah you're absolutely right, I feel better and better as the days go by thanks to the healing hands of my lovely girlfriend!" Wen said and grinned at Olivia as he said the last part, she heavily blushed, playfully then him on his shoulder and replied: "Stop it! you're totally flattering as you always do."
Charlie about that scene that played out in front of him a little bit, but quickly stopped as finally Stella entered Wen's room. All the others that were talking with each other just a few minutes ago now totally focused their attention to their gitarrist and were really anxious to hear what she had to say to them.
After some minutes of complete silence in the room, Stella finally cleared her throat and said: "So you all wonder why I wanted this band meeting today? Here's the answer: The whole week I thought about ways to stay in contact with our fans all the time and maybe get us a even bigger fanbase then we have right now. The solution is very simple Lemonade Mouth is finally going online!
A good friend of mine designs websites, I called him yesterday and asked him if he would be interested in designing the official homepage of Lemonade Mouth and guess what? He said yes! Like all the other well known music stars I took the liberty to set up a twitter account for us , isn't that totally awesome guys?" The other five band members had to let it all sink in first before they could reply, but then they all screamed excited: "Lemonade Mouth is going online wohooo!" They all high fived each other and were really excited about how good things were going for them right now. Suddenly Olivia's phone started to vibrate in her jeans pocket, she wondered who would actually call her at this time of the day. She looked at the caller id on the display but it wasn't a number that was saved in her contact list, so she then hesitantly picked up: "This is Olivia White, who Am I talking to?"
"Hi this is Tony Dante, the owner of Dante's pizza and I'm sorry if I disturb you. I've got your cell phone number from a regular client that sits with you in history class, before you ask that question. Anyway a lot of my regular clients love Lemonade Mouth and begged me to give you a regular gig again, starting from this evening on, even if that is on very short notice I know and I'm sorry. But it would be really great if you guys could make that happen tonight, so what do you say yes or no?"
In her mind Olivia sighed about that offer, sure it was really a great thing but on the other hand on really short notice and she didn't know if Wen could do a whole show tonight. Finally she said after a few moments of silence: "One moment please Mister Dante, I really need to talk to the others about that."
"That's ok take all the time you need, I surely don't want to rush you." Tony Dante replied, then Olivia put the phone away and said to the other five members of the band: "I have the owner of Dante's pizza on the phone and he wants us to play tonight." For some time the five friends didn't know what to say, cause to all of them that offer really came unexpected. Then after a short silence Stella finally said: "Wow! That really comes totally unexpected an on short notice, but don't know about you but I really need to get back on stage after this long pause." She looked at the others for a moment and one by one they nodded in agreement, even Olivia agreed to do the gig at Dante's after Wen had put her worries about his health aside. Then she got back on the phone with Tony Dante and said: "Mister Dante you can count on us tonight, Lemonade Mouth will perform at Dante's to deliver an amazing show like always. "Great to hear guys." Then he hung up, Olivia put back her cell phone in her jeans pocket and then they planned the next hours before the rehearsal at the mesa high Auditorium a little bit.
They decided to get their homework done first, before they would do rehearsal for the spontaneous concert this evening. After Wen and Olivia were finally alone again Olivia said to Wen while doing her homework: "I'm excited to perform at Dante's again tonight but I'm also really nervous, even if I'm not so sure why, maybe it's because the gig is on such short notice. I mean we just have a few hours to rehearse for tonight's concert and bothers me a little bit."
"Don't worry sweetie you're not the only one of us, that is nervous about tonight's show, me and the others are also but we just don't show it." Wen tried his best to put his girlfriends worries to rest. Olivia still looked a little skeptical at him but Wen quickly pulled her last skepticism aside with one of his famous smiles, that always practically made her heart melt.
One hour later they all arrived together at the auditorium that was there rehearsal room and started to discuss which songs they should rehearse for tonight's performance. Just in time they finished rehearsal at the auditorium, having enough time to get all the instruments and other stuff they needed to Dante's pizza restaurant and set up their stuff on the little stage at the back of the big restaurant. Finally it was time to begin the concert, almost every free seat in the restaurant was taken because a concert of such a well know band as Lemonade Mouth was a very rare thing to happen at Dante's pizza and surely nobody who had the chance would want to miss that for anything in the world. The people sitting in the chairs, were loudly cheering and standing up from their seats as the six members of Lemonade Mouth finally appeared on stage. Wen sat down on a stool, that had been put there for him and the other five also manned their positions. Then Wen started to play the first song in tonight's setlist : "Determinate".
Trying hard to fight these tears I, I want to cry Gotta turn the world into your dance floor Hate to feel this way Gotta turn the world into your dance floor It's Wen and I'm heaven-sent Gotta turn the world into your dance floor Come on and, come on and
I'm crazy worried
Messing with my head this fear
I'm so sorry
You know you gotta get it out
I can't take it
That's what being friends about
I can't deny
Tonight I wanna up and hide
And get inside
It isn't right
I gotta live in my life
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Determinate, determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate
And waste a day
I gotta get myself on stage
I shouldn't wait or be afraid
The chips will fall where they may
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Determinate, determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate
Use it like a veteran
Renegade, lemonade, use it in my medicine
Go ahead and try to name a band we ain't better than
Reason why the whole world's picking us instead of them
People need a breather cause they're feeling that adrenaline
Stop! Now hurry up and let us in. Knock!
Cause we're coming to your house (and)
people keep on smiling like the lemons in their mouths
I'm the real deal, you know how I feel
When they in it for the bill I'm just in it for the thrill
Get down now I ain't playin' around put your feet up from the ground
And just make that sound like
Determinate, determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate
Come on and get it going
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
On the dance floor
On the dance floor
Dance floor
Determinate
