-Thanks so much to all my reviewers! I hardly ever get that many reviews on one chapter, so thank you so much to each and every one of you! Now on with the story!-
Katie decided to be very pouty for the rest of band practice, so she didn't speak to anyone and had an extremely sullen look on her face. When practice ended and her mom picked her up, she didn't say goodbye to anyone. She kept her solemn expression until she got to her room, where she started to blast My Generation. She had to have a solo, she just had to! But how was she going to get one?
Then she got an idea. She took the CD out of her stereo and grabbed the other CD, then ran downstairs to her computer room. She burned a mixed CD with the three songs that had significant bass in them. Katie was going to somehow get it to Dewey without him knowing that it was her who gave it to him. She decided to casually put it beside his guitar the next day at band practice, and if he asked whose it was, she wouldn't say a word.

At band practice the next day, Katie tried to act like she was over the whole solo thing. She played her two rotating notes perfectly. But when Dewey went to the bathroom, a devious smile crept up upon her face and she whipped the CD from her backpack, laying it next to Dewey's Gibson SG (a/n just like the one Pete Townshend used at Woodstock!). Then Katie realized that everyone was staring at her. "Don't say a word about this, okay you guys?" she asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
Dewey came back and saw the CD. "Whose is this?" he asked, looking around. No one said anything. "Whose is this?" Dewey repeated. This time, everyone said, "Not mine." "Well now it's mine," he said, and he stuffed it into one of his pockets.
Katie suppressed her smile and looked forward to the next day, when she would ask for a solo again. But for now she went home and listened to her Who CD. While she was listening she read the little booklet that came with the CD. She found out that John Entwistle was the bassist of The Who, and that his solo in My Generation was the first recorded bass solo ever!
And though John didn't smile very much, he did smile sometimes. He was what held The Who down, and he was Katie's new idol. She went to sleep happy, and dreamed about meeting John Entwistle. Except, she met him in heaven. Because he died two years ago at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas from a heart attack. But you get it.
The next morning she woke up and put on jeans and a green CBGB shirt (a/n I have a green CBGB shirt, which I actually got at CBGB!). She slipped on her kelly green low top Converse sneakers and went downstairs. It was Friday, so she didn't have to wear her uniform. Katie ate a quick breakfast then went upstairs to brush her hair. When she came back down she was ready for school.
School was like it always was: completely and totally boring. When it was finally lunchtime Katie got her tray of food and sat down with a few of the band members. Zack and Freddy on one side of the table, her and Summer on the other side. Just like always. When she sat down, Zack was quick to ask her a question. "What was that CD that you mysteriously gave to Dewey?" he asked.
"Oh, well, you know how Dewey said I can't have a solo because bass can't have a solo? Well, I listened to this CD that I got and there are two tracks with bass solos and one where you don't really hear the guitar, you just hear the bass! So I gave him that CD which had all three of those tracks burned onto it. Maybe that'll change his mind, because I really want a solo."
It was explanation enough for everybody, and they went on eating. Katie found herself getting excited, because later today she would have Dewey's reaction, and she might even get her own solo!
-Another short chapter, and I apologize, but I felt like that was a good place to stop. Please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
