Note: I don't own the song played in this chapter, blah, blah, legal
mumbojumbo
Aaron had been given his room key and a gift; a rather strange-looking sphere of a glass-like material. Lance had said all the Brotherhood had one, and that it was from Magneto. He didn't say what it did. But, as those initial thoughts of consciousness drifted through his head, he woke up, remembering that it was school time. He got up, and walked out in his boxers, quickly walking down the stairs to get a drink. After gulping down some coffee, he rushed back up the stairs, and into his room, where he dressed and picked up his electric guitar and the power cords, thankful that the school would have amplifiers set up already. He'd taken music and art as his main goals to do well in, and was determined that he would play his own instrument in school. When he came back out, he'd also gathered a collection of his own songs, and went back downstairs, practising a few cords. He almost walked straight into Wanda, but he looked up just in time, and stopped quickly, grinning. "Hi. Sleep well?" Wanda shook her head. "No. I never do, so I'm used to it. Thanks for asking though, nobody else does. Oh, and you'll want to hide that guitar. Pietro's crazy about four things; himself, girls, sugar, and guitars." Wanda said, reeling off a rough list of Pietro's well-known obsessions. "This is my guitar. He'll just have to learn." Wanda shrugged, gave a small smile, and carried on walking into the kitchen, while Aaron continued to play quietly. After a while, he looked up at the clock on the wall, and picked up his bag in the corner of the room, and opened the door as everyone else began to grab their school stuff. Lance walked to the kitchen door, putting his arm across and leaning on the opposite side of the door. "What's the guitar for?" "GUITAR!!!!!???????" Came an unmistakably fast yell, and Pietro ran to the kitchen door, smashing his head against Lance's arm and falling backward. "Foresight," Lance explained, "So you gonna tell me?" Aaron grinned. "You heard of the gig in the gym at the end of this week?" "You took the last place in it huh? Well, that's my money gone. We had a bet to see which of us would enter first." "well, this might make you a little happier. I entered all of you with me, as a band. You shouldn't drink that much alcohol, buddy, you chatter." "Ah, I get it." Lance grinned, partially remembering the night before, "So, who's in the band?" "Well, if I can get you all to agree, Pietro's on drums, you're on secondary guitar, Todd's on bass guitar, Tabitha's secondary vocals, Wanda's keyboards, and I'm main guitar and vocals." "YOU'RE the front man?" Lance exclaimed in indignation. "Hey, I got you guys in, didn't I? I could of left you out." "I guess. " Lance replied, a bit of disappointment in his voice. "Ok then. Let's all get to school, we gotta be early to get a good room to practise in." "Wehave?Why?Whycan'twestayhomeforawhile?" Pietro protested. "Because we won't get a room at all if we don't." Aaron said, and turned out the door. All of the Brotherhood members, who had either been fully listening like Lance, or half-listening like a sleepy Tabby, followed Aaron out the house. Aaron then remembered something, "Oh, and Blob plays drums too. We're gonna have fast and heavy." "Problem," Wanda said, entering the conversation, "How are we all gonna play those instruments?" "I'll teach you." Aaron replied, and he swung his bag over his shoulder as he climbed into Lance's jeep, soon accompanied by the others. "Oneotherproblem." Pietro began, "I'mnotplayinginthesamebandasWanda, she'llkillme." Wanda nodded, "Yeah, there is that problem." She added, throwing a trademarked 'death glare' Pietro's way. "Umm. Then we'll work something out, but I can't think of it yet."
A few minutes later, the Brotherhood were in a music room, with an audience, which made everybody nervous. Having constructed a series of signals for each band member, they began playing, using a long intro to allow everybody to get used to the beat and rhythm of the song. Slowly, it began to speed up, and transformed into a light, fast paced song.
"You're my size I need to try you on
Someone in between the right and wrong
Through everything you kept your wings apart
Through everything you scared the same ones off
And when I've had enough
She drains me
When I'm empty
She helps herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Have It All
Running through this maze you hold me in
Searching in a daze to find the end
Through everything you left your wings apart
I'm everything I'm anyone you want
And when I've had enough
She drains me
When I'm empty
She helps herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Have It All
I'm everything you're everything I'm not
I'm anything I'm anyone you want
She drains me
When I'm empty
She helps herself
She takes it all
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
In too deep
She's spilling over me
Go on, Have It All!"
He Brotherhood stopped playing, to much applause, and Aaron grinned as the bell rang, "Now get outta hear or the teachers will gut yer." He said, and looked at the other members, "SO? How did it feel to have people cheering for ya?" "No difference, I've always got people cheering for me." Pietro replied with a smirk. "Yeah, right." Lance said, scowling a the silver haired speed demon, "It. Was cool, I guess." "Tabby?" "So when do we perform next?" Tabby asked, smiling. "Toad?" "I still gotta practise some of tha chords ya taught me, but it was cool." "Wanda?" Wanda thought for a minute, and then answered, a little uncertain, "I don't know. I've never done anything like this before, so, its all kinda weird at the moment. That and the fact that 'Speedos swimwear' over there keeps drowning out my keyboard." Aaron beckoned for Wanda to follow him, and he proceeded to connect Wanda's keyboard to his guitar amp. "Now try." Wanda played one note, and Pietro covered his ears, "Ahhhhhh! My ears! My perfectly crafted ears! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Blob slapped Pietro across the back, and grumbled, "Ah, quit yer whinin'!"
Aaron stood back from the others, and looked at them. "Ya know. You guys might just have some potential. You're enough to beat the X Geeks anyway." They suddenly stopped what they were doing, "We are?" Fred asked, dropping Toad, with whom he had been fighting with. "Yeah. All they're doing is somekind of gospel choir."
