A/N: This oneshot was requested by RockstarLane, who wanted something featuring Kate and Allie, Grojband's groupies. I've never written these two before, so I hope it doesn't suck!
Believe it or not, Kate and Allie's lives aren't really that interesting outside of being Grojband's #1 fangirls.
Their days aren't filled with adventure or thrill or anything of the sort, which does sound a little boring. They lead normal lives, going to school, homework, extracurriculars like soccer and gymnastics. It's pretty hilarious to these two when people automatically assume that they get involved in hectic chaos everyday like Grojband does, because they really don't have the time nor interest in doing so! Seriously, they're nine, and they'd at least like to live long enough to see Grojband reign victorious in their quest for stardom.
Allie definitely has more on her plate, as far as day-to-day life goes. Besides school, she plays on a soccer team with a bunch of other girls in her grade. It got pretty competitive; the team, which had been called "The Wrecking Balls," (clearly the coach's choice, if you ask me) had a strong craving for success, which really showed during their games. Allie practiced every day, sometimes with her dad, kicking a ball around in the backyard, and other times with Kate, who showed up to all of her games.
If Kate was being completely honest, Allie freaked her out sometimes with all the competitivity and (sometimes implied) blood-thirsty attitude that overcame her when she was passionate about something. It had been her idea to kidnap Corey and shackle him to a radiator upstairs, and Kate had agreed because she thought Allie was kidding. Granted, everything worked out in the end; they got their own song, they got the satisfaction of sticking it to Trina, and Laney didn't even try to murder them!
Kate, if you haven't already guessed, did gymnastics. She wasn't as passionate about the activity as her best friend was about hers, but she needed something to do, and gymnastics was the only thing available at the time. It had a lot of perks, for instance, she would have a better chance of being a cheerleader in high school. But, uh, doing flips and cartwheels and all that other junk with glasses on was easily the bane of her existence and she would stand by that statement until she died. And it wasn't like she could take them off and still perform well; she was about as blind as a bat without them.
And that was…pretty much all they did. Like I said, they had pretty boring and normal lives, aside from following Grojband around like lost puppies and ran the band's merch shop online and at their gigs. It was a pretty nice source of income, especially for two nine-year-old girls. But even that gets boring, so they were going to have to think of something else.
Thankfully, Allie had an idea.
"What're we even gonna do this summer?" Kate whined, flopping facedown on her bed, glasses askew.
Allie shrugged. "We have to restock the merch store, which means we have to make more stuff."
The Grojband merch store (yes, that's what it was known as, it didn't have a cool name or anything) was really just a blog where Kate and Allie fawned over the band with several other online strangers. They just so happen to sell things, too. Basic stuff, though; t-shirts, stickers, mugs, CD's of Grojband's songs. On special occasions (like the New New Years performance and when they saved the world) they made prints, which tended to sell out really quickly.
"That's boring," Kate insisted.
"We both have soccer games and gymnastic exams, so we could practice for those." Allie was being nonchalant; Kate was in a "mood," or whatever her mom called it.
Kate rolled her eyes behind her thick lenses. "Well, duh! I meant fun stuff, Allie."
Suddenly, a lightbulb lit up in the blonde's head. "We could start a new blog. One for female rock bands?"
A small, hopeful grin caught Kate's face, and she sat up, readjusting her glasses. "A lady-rock blog? I like it!"
So, that's what they did. Aside from running Grojband's (official/unofficial? It was really unclear) website, Kate and Allie were now the founders of "Wicked Ladies," a blog solely dedicated to the best lady-rock bands to ever grace the Earth. There were a few exceptions, like Candy Jamz (Laney wouldn't allow them to call her a "lady rocker." Seriously, she hated her) and Cherry Grapestain, just because she was amazing.
Their blog actually did pretty well, considering it was curated by two nine-year-old children with a strange obsession with rock 'n' roll. It gained over one hundred followers by the end of summer, and nearly five hundred by Christmas. They didn't make merch, however. I dunno, something about getting in trouble for copyright infringement just didn't sound all that fun to them. Also, the bands and singers that the blog circled around already had every memorabilia/collectors item under the sun, and Kate and Allie didn't feel the need to add to that.
Now, I'm aware that this is all about what they do outside of being Grojband's groupies, but this is just too amazing not to put in here.
Aside from the Grojband blog/website, our lovely groupies created a secret page on the blog, which is basically a photo gallery of Laney pining for her frontman and Corey being oblivious to it as usual. The pictures were very obviously put through Instagram filters and PicsArt to achieve the dreamy filter that they had, but the red tinge on Laney's cheeks was entirely real. There were also several photos, all with the caption "busted," where Laney had caught them taking unauthorized pictures of her and shoving away the camera. The hotheaded teen had cracked many a-screen protectors and actual screens, but felt no remorse, and Kate and Allie felt like it was worth it, so they continued.
Now you're probably suspecting the groupies of snapping that photo on New New Years of Corey and Laney's accidental kiss. They can neither confirm nor deny this.
So, to put it bluntly, Kate and Allie's day-to-day lives aren't chaotic, but they're quite busy. Blogs, believe it or not, actually take a lot of time, and making and producing merch for a band that's only really known within your own hometown is basically a gamble, because there's no guarantee that anyone's going to buy anything. And devoting yourself to an entire band takes a lot of commitment.
Basically, their daily lives consist of being good groupies and good blog managers/gamblers. Sounds like a pretty decent life for two third graders if you ask me.
A/N: As you can see here, I had no idea how to wrap this one up! I don't think that I've written the groupies before, which is crazy considering that I've been on this platform for 3-4 years. I hope you liked it, though, and keep the requests coming!
Also, I should probably mention that my updates might be a little slower, due to my iPad breaking down and having to switch to my laptop, so I hope that's alright! Stay safe, everyone!
