A/N: This is the second time writing this. My computer shut down so I have to start all over again...oh joy!

Anyway the winner was Padre Island! REVIEW AD GIVE ME SONG IDEAS!
AND QUESTION: If you've been to Padre Island I Texas, what is it like? What do you remember? Any special features? DESCRIPTIONS?
ON with the chapter….

"WE'RE GOING ON VACATION!"
Fang POV
We all saw it coming, well except MAX and Ella. I smirked. I wrapped my arms around Max's waist as we turned on the Nudge channel.
"ZOMG!I totally forgot! You never went before! We always go every summer. Since I was five, Iggy and Fang and I would go and as more people came along and Angel and Gazzy, they would go too. We go to Padre Island! Ever heard of it? It's in Texas. Anyway Fang has a beach house there. No it's so big; I think it's a mansion. You'll love it! Plus there's a battle of the bands and we're going to enter! I hope we win a pony! I just love ponies!" She trailed on and on. Subtly, I took Max's hand and led her to my room. Poor Iggy, he has to deal with this 24/7.
"Fang?"
I looked up at Max's chocolate brown eyes, filled with warmth that I could melt into.
"Since you're in a band, can you play for me? I mean I can play guitar and piano and cello and kind of sing, but I want to hear you sing. Please?" She pouted and gave me her best attempt at Bambi eyes. I chuckled and took out my acoustic guitar. Softly, I played the opening chords to I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan.
Another day, is going by And I, wrote this letter, in my head This could be, the one last chance, to make you understand, yeah I'd do anything Together we, broke all the rules So now, maybe after, all these years This could be, the one last chance, to make you understand I'd do anything I close my eyes I'd do anything
I'm thinkin' about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
Cuz' so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd DO ANYTHING
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz' I know I won't forget you
Dreamin' of droppin' out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
And if you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
And I'll be waitin'
And I just can't let you leave me once again, yeah
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz' I know I won't forget you
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep, I can't forget you
Nanana, nanana
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana,nanananaaaa
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
With you, yeah
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz' I know, I won't forget you
I say tears in her eyes and wiped them away with my fingers. She leaned into me and asked if she could play something too. Being the amazingly supportive boyfriend I am I gave the guitar to her and heard her sing Paramore's "The Only Exception."
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry And my momma swore that But darling, you are the only exception Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul And I've always lived like this But you are the only exception I've got a tight grip on reality You are the only exception You are the only exception And I'm on my way to believing
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
[- From: . -]
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
She sang like an angel, and she was all mine. I ran a hair through my hair. "You should be in the band. You're really good."
She blushed, leaning over to give me a goodbye kiss before she walked downstairs and back to her house.
Max POV
I can't believe I sang for him, I mean Nudge told me that Ella and I should be in the band, but I didn't think I was any good. Sighing, I opened the door to my own home and saw my mom waiting at the door.
"Hey Mom. Where are you going?"
"On a date." That explains the black cocktail dress with the stiletto black heels and her hair framing her face in soft curls.
"With who?"
"Jeb Batchelder"
Ella, who was texting Nudge upstairs, came down to analyze the situation.
"You must really like him. I mean you even wore that black diamond jewelry set that has been in its case for like five years." Ella replied, smirking.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I opened it tentatively. Standing before me, was an average man. Average in every way. Average height. Average brown, graying hair. Average suit and crisp white shirt and black tie. Average brown eyes. Average everything. Ella pulled out her phone and sent a text. What do you know? My phone gets a message. It reads: Can you say square? I laugh and sent her a text saying he's more of an octagon because his jaw is octagonlike and that we should stop acting like sixth graders, texting when we are right next to each other.
He greets us and acts really…formal. Apparently he's a rich scientist and goes on business trips often. Anyways, he guides Mom to his PORSCHE. I want a PORSCHE. Oh well. ON the bright side, if Mom marries him maybe I could get a Porsche, but why would she marry someone so boring?
I was going to end here, but I'll be nice.
Iggy POV
It was the day after vacation started and we were having our first band practice since the beginning of the school year. Ella and I were walking hand in hand and Fang and Max were trailing behind. When we reached my house, I saw everyone was there and waiting.
I squeezed Ella's hand and told her and Max about the band. " Um, I play bass, Gazzy is drums, Fang does guitar and sings, Nudge and Angel play guitar and piano, and Logan does drums, JJ sings sometimes, but she usually does cello, and Ellie does whatever the heck she want because she can play everything. Fang can too but he likes guitar better."
JJ asked the girls what we could play. Ella answered confidently, "Max can sing, play guitar, piano, cello, and drums although last time she played she put a hole in it. I can play violin, bass, piano, and the ukulele."
Fang clapped his hands together. "Max you're our new female singer and you can play backup guitar and cello. Ella, you can do violin because we don't have one, piano and keyboard, ukulele on some songs, and backup bass."
Nudge pushed Ella and Max to the stage. "Play something," she urged.
Shrugging Max grabbed a guitar and Ella got a violin. OF course they started to sing Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift.
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
and I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar
And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
So reach out open handed
and lead me out to that floor
well I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star
Cause my heart is beating fast
and you are beautiful
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Keep your beautiful eyes on me
gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
They sounded so beautiful. When Ella played, she had a newfound determination that burst within her. She looked like she had so much fun. I came up behind her. "My eyes are blue, not green." She laughed and I felt my heart pop out of my chest.
A/N: What do you think? 12 pages on word.
ANYWAYS, review. Ideas for songs? Need them more than ever.
And I have a couple new characters in mind. Submit a profile for a new character. Can be based off of you or anything or anyone. Give a name, description, role in the story, and who you based them off of. Also give ages, hair colors, eye colors, and things like that. If I like it, I will let you know if its in the story.
REVIEW! AND do the character profile thingie.
