A/N: Just wanted to let you guys know that you all lost the game.

EmmyMetal: Yes, I know that's the most unique and original excuse in the book, but Hip Hop was under a lot of stress, and it's hard to be original when you're put on the spot. Scentern 2 and Techstep are pretty cute.

DaCupCakePhiles: The best cover up ever is in the Jacksfilms video Hipster Jesus. You'll see what I mean. It is a little much, but I never said Idol was sane or normal. Indie and Idol working together can only end in one way.

XxUnwrittenxX: #epicsave I love it. Having Indie and Idol work together is a lot of fun to write since they're arguing most of the time. We'll see how long this lasts.


Techno suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. When Techno got up and out of bed, she couldn't find Dubstep anywhere in their apartment. She was so concerned that she ran out of the building in her pajamas where she found Dubstep about to leave.

"Wait Dubstep!" begged Techno, "Don't go!"

"Wub boom bububub dub dub," said Dubstep.

"I know you don't want to talk, but please hear me out," pleaded Techno, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just too cowardly to actually tell you about my feelings."

"Boom wazz dubbbb," retorted Dubstep.

"I'm not just saying that because I feel sorry for you after you tried to kill yourself! What do I have to do to prove it to you?" said Techno.

"Bazbum wububb dubzzz badada," said Dubstep.

"What do you mean you need a break from seeing me? We live together and go to work together!" said Techno.

"Wub bub bub dub buzzzzbub," declared Dubstep.

"You're moving in with Metal and his family temporarily!" screamed Techno, "Dubstep, there's no need for this! Stay with me!"

Dubstep started to leave without another word and drove to Metal's house. At the moment, he realized that he probably should have told Metal about this before impulsively driving to his house with some of his things. Metal had been super supportive during this whole thing so hopefully this would be okay. Dubstep finally reached Metal's house that looked like it popped out right from the pastel colored neighborhood in Edward Scissorhands. He rang the doorbell which rang to the music of Cold Chamber.

Tina saw Dubstep at the door, opened it, and said, "What are you doing here Dubstep? Are you looking for Metal at this late hour? I'm sorry. I'm being so rude. Would you like some cake?"

Metal heard the commotion, and said, "What's going on here, Tina?" He stopped in his tracks when he saw Dubstep at the door.

Dubstep brought back out the dry erase board from his bag and wrote, "Techno and I had a falling out. I just need a break from being around her. Is it okay if I stay here for a little while?"

"Of course you can," said Tina in her upbeat voice, "We could never turn down a friend. You can take the guest bedroom on the left." Then, Dubstep proceeded to hug Tina and awkwardly hug Metal as he went to take his stuff into the room.

After Dubstep was out of earshot, Metal said, "Why did you do that Tina?"

"Well, I thought he was your friend who was going through tough times. Don't you want to help him?" replied Tina in confusion.

"Yeah, I want to help him, but Dubstep needs to reconcile with Techno. They need to work out things together, and I don't want to enable him running from his problems."

"Who knew you were so thoughtful and smart?" said Tina, casting an adoring look at Metal, "We'll just let him stay for a few days until he sorts everything out."

"Alright. I'm not the mushy type, but those two just seem like they're supposed to be together," commented Metal.

"Kind of like us when we fell in love," said Tina.

"Yeah, sure," said Metal in his tough tone. As Tina leaned up to kiss him, he knew she was right when he stared into her beautiful blue eyes.

When it was time for Metal and Dubstep to go to work, Rayna asked Metal, "What is Dubstep doing here?"

"Dubstep and Techno had a falling out, and I'm helping him get back on his feet," replied Metal.

"SAY WHATTTT! SAAAY WHAAAT! SAY WHAAT!" screamed Rayna, "Those two are perfect for each other like Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth."

Metal rolled his eyes at that reference, but said, "You're right sweet child of mine. They're just both too stupid to see it."

"We should set them up! Like in the Bachelor!" squealed Rayna with excitement.

"NO! I forbid you to meddle, Rayna. You're just going to make things more complicated," said Metal as he thought about the Idol matchmaker fiasco. Before Rayna could retort back, Metal left for work with Dubstep.

Meanwhile, at the office, Idol and Indie were talking about their finding in their investigation.

"Well, that was totally useless," complained Idol, "by the time we actually were able to find Hip Hop, he was already home. I told you we should have used my social media sources to find him."

"We could have ended up blowing our cover if we did that. Anyway it's your fault that we left late. You just had to sing that whole goddamn Call Me Maybe didn't you," argued Indie.

"Oh, so this is my fault now," snapped Idol.

"Yes it is. Why do you have to be such a social media slut?" said Indie.

"Well at least I'm not a douchy hipster," said Idol.

"Mainstream whore," said Indie.

"Holier than thou asshole," said Idol.

"Duck faced loser," said Indie.

"Never getting laid toolbox," said Idol.

"Forever alone airhead!" said Indie.

"Last season's trash!" yelled Idol.

Their argument was abruptly stopped by Hip Hop entering the MyMusic office followed by Intern 2, Scene, and a very tired looking Metal, Techno, and Dubstep. Both of them scattered back to their normal positions so Hip Hop and any of the others would be none the wiser. Hip Hop discreetly went up to Intern 2 so they could talk.

"Hey man, I have a lot to tell you today," said Hip Hop, "wait, what's that on your face? I don't remember punching you recently."

"It's a long story," said Intern 2, "Anyway, what was up with that cover up yesterday?"

"Well, I've been a part of this drama production company for a while now. We put on plays and musicals ranging from Shakespeare to Sondheim. We just wrapped up a production of Into the Woods. I played the Narrator. We're even doing A Midsummer Night's Dream next," said Hip Hop excitedly.

"Hip Hop, not to be rude, but can you get to the point of this?" said Intern 2.

"Right. I was trying to quietly slip away to practice without anyone noticing, but you saw what happened. I had to think on the spot, and it seemed like people believed me," continued Hip Hop.

"I do find it kind of hard to believe that they bought the whole "twin brother" thing. I mean, even I know everyone uses that excuse," said Intern 2.

"Actually, that part is true. I do have a twin brother, but we haven't talked in years. He was the tough gangsta' one while I was the nerd growing up. I kind of modeled my reputation after what he was like," said Hip Hop.

"Well, at least if anyone tries to question that, you'll at least be able to prove you have twin," said Intern 2.

"There's something else though too," said Hip Hop, "I have a nagging suspicion that someone is following me."

"What would make you think that?" questioned Intern 2, "I'm the only one who knows your secret, and I didn't tell anyone."

"Being the sleuthing nerd I am, I can tell the signs when someone is following you. I've done a few stakeouts in my day. I think Indie is following up on me. I might he saw him on my way home from work, so I decided to skip practice and just go home to avoid suspicion. I also noticed he might have had a partner with him, but I'm not sure who," whispered Hip Hop.

"Well, if Indie is tailing you, that isn't good. He hates posers more than he hates me," stated Intern 2, "You're going to have to be extra careful."

"I know. Can you try stalling Indie so I can escape? It would be a huge help to me," said Hip Hop.

"I try, Hip Hop," said Intern 2.

"Since I'm so grateful, I'll even help you with your Scene thing," said Hip Hop.

"What Scene thing?" said Intern 2.

"You know I'm talking about," said Hip Hop as he raised his eyebrows.

Before Intern 2 could say anything, their conversation came to a halt when Rayna walked into MyMusic. Hip Hop, who didn't want to take any chances, quickly ran away from Intern 2.

"What are you doing here?" said Metal, "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

"School doesn't start for another week, and you know why I'm here," said Rayna with a scheming smile.


I know I promised Techstep, and I delivered. I never said it would be happy Techstep. I'm glad I finally found a way to incorporate Tina and Rayna. I don't want portray Metal in a loveless marriage to set him up with someone else. I love me a little Mina fluff. Also, remember Hip Hop is pretty smart, so he would notice if people were following him. Will he find out the other person is Idol? Will Techstep ever get together? Why is Rayna at MyMusic? All these questions and more may or may not be answered in the next installment of Music Brings People Together. If all goes as planned, I'll have little present for you on Monday. I'm aiming to have a new chapter of Music Brings People Together and The Replacement with the addition of a oneshot for a certain couple that shall not be named. Thanks guys for reading and reviewing.
