"Thanks for helping with my hair." Rory thanked Benny. "I can't really use a mirror."

Rory's hair was like a mess of Mohawks.

"Any time, champ." Benny replied with a laugh.

"Hey, Rory, your mom's here. Right next to your grandma." Ethan told the two.

"Oh, that's not good." Rory commented.

"Yeah. I'm worried about my grandma too." Benny cut.

"No. You don't understand. I'm worried about everyone else. My mom can really throw 'em." Rory informed.

"Will your grandma back us up when the magic starts flying?" Ethan asked Benny.

"No chance. As soon as that music starts playing, that hearing aid is going off. She hates anything without an accordion in it." Benny motioned a hearing aid being turned off.

The crowd outside the curtains gave an applause.

"It's time, guys." I nodded to them, pulling Ethan along.

(ΘεΘ;)

"Thank you, Marty. If you could disappear, that would be great." Mr. Stern told Marty as Marty walked off the stage.

"Hi mom!" Rory called to his mom, waving.

"Before we get to the show stoppers, here is an act that can only be described as...next."

"Muse-atronics!" We yelled into the mic.

We immediately began to play the music.

The steady beat from before began to play like earlier.

(I will be having half the entire song's lyrics here.)

Call back the cap-com
Tick off the time-bomb
Let felicity fly

Armor the airlock
Blanket the bedrock
and kiss the planets goodbye

Dear God I was terribly lost
when the galaxies crossed
and the sun went dark

But dear God you're the only north star
I would follow this far...

Da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da
da da

Da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da
da da

Fight back the flight deck
Bring on the breakneck
Cue the solar eclipse

Summit the sunset
dub tail the dragnet
and blow your backbone to bits

Serena, mad with envy, got onto the stage.

I looked at her from the mic and smiled.

"These people are mine!" Serena yelled.

"Ok. Well, she's mad. I guess we got that right." Benny told us.

"Earplugs!" I shouted to them, pulling earplugs from my pocket.

I pushed them into my ears to block Serena's song.

"Aaaaaaaaa!" Serena sang in a yell, advancing on us.

"Stop it! These people need to feel my pain! And so do you!" Serena yelled.

She sand another chord at us, leaving us unaffected.

"The dark is inside! I drag you intoooooo! The d-d-dark!" Serena sang to the audience.

"Your lyrics suck!" I yelled.

She looked at me, madder, and sang another chord to everyone.

Erica came out from behind the curtains and tossed something big onto the equipment, knocking it all over.

"I got her! You deal with Serena!" Sarah yelled to us, pushing Erica back stage.

We got the equipment up again

The audience began fighting each other.

Marty came onto Benny and began hitting him with the drumsticks.

"Ethan! Do it now!"

"I got it!"

Benny stood up and cast a spell on Marty, turning him away.

Ethan got the stuff going, sending blue waves of sound at Serena.

Serena let out a pained scream.

She looked back at us and sang another chord at us.

"What's that? I can't hear you!" I teased her, smiling.

Ethan kept sending waves at her until she was on the floor.

The crowd settled down and sat in their seats.

"You can keep my quiet!" Serena warned.

"Sorry? What was that?"

Serena kept screaming at us, causing Ethan to turn up our own power.

From the audience, Benny grandma cast a spell to close the curtains, hiding us.

Serena's skin turned purple and her eyes became black spots on her face.

She popped out of existence with a single scream, disappearing forever.

I let out a breath of relief.

"That was intense." Ethan murmured.

"Well, guys. I think we just recorded our number one!" Benny cheered, standing up and tossing his drumsticks wildly.

I wrapped my arms around Ethan's neck and kissed him to which he returned happily.

"We did it." I whispered to him.

"Couldn't have done it without you, babe." He told me back, smiling.

The audience applauded loudly.

We came out from behind the curtains and bowed.

"Very interesting act." Mr. Stern told us.

"Muse-atronics!"

(ΘεΘ;)

"I think that's the last we'll hear from Serena." Ethan nodded.

"And MC MonsterBat. Oy." Benny added.

Rory's voice then came over the PA rap-like.

"Yeah, Buddy! Whitechapel High, this ain't no lie. MonsterBat Morning Meltdown, don't even ask why! Chi-chia!" Rory announced.

His voice turned back into normal as he continued.

"Intramural volleyball begins at 4 o'clock today. You can pick up your team vests at lunch, but don't use them as bibs. I'm just kidding! You can use them for bibs!"

We all separated with sighs of disgust.

Ethan held my hand as we walked out.

I gave him one last kiss.

(ΘεΘ;)

BOOM, BUDDY. IT'S DONE.

FINALLY.
