Chapter 3 Part 2

Prepare For Battle: Strategies? Plans? Or Not…

After hours of strategic planning, we came up with our plans of victory over the metronomes! We were going to march out in military form, fire our ammunition, and break through their barriers! Then we would crush their forces, reclaim our commanders and director, and take victory!? Our plan was all laid out. After I replayed the plan to our bandies a loud chorus of cheers broke out as we prepared to depart….((Are you seriously buying any of this? If you are then you're SO gullible! [snickers]…seriously this is what the REAL scene was like…))

Here we are a pretty big group of band kids, huddled behind our barricade, throwing around different ideas on what to do as evil metronomes prepare to attack us...[sweat drop]

"um….you got any ideas Kelly?"

"Nope how about you Les?"

"Nope, Sara?"

"Nope no ideas, Aaron?"

"Uh how about we go head to head against them and blast away their power!?" at this the whole band burst out in a chorus of "AARON!"

"What? Just a suggestion"

"…..OK!! Enough! Anyone else got any "brilliant" ideas?" At my remark all heads just shook violently back and forth. It did NOT look good. ((What can I say we may be awesome band students…but we cant be great at everything! [looks for an aspirin] its scary that I'm actually turning serious!! ooooooo [big eyes] ))

"Well they seem to be off their guard, lets see if we can surprise attack them!" I said with one of my evil grins on. A somewhat nervous cheer went around as everyone went too their positions. "REMEMBER YOUR MARK! KEEP IN STEP!!!" I shouted as we prepared to march forward. ((Strangely as we started marching it REALLY started to pour…weather always seems to reflect the moment! Hehe)) As best I could I started the beat of our march, so the snares could keep us in count, then off we went. It looked like we were doing our show, because we all suddenly appeared in our marching uniforms, as we started marching.

Meanwhile at the metronome base

"Sir the enemy is approaching!" whined one of the "on guard" metronomes to the 'head' metronome.

"Prepare for battle! FORTH WE GO!" he bellowed. As he yelled an uproarious chorus of

"To battle we now go! To battle we now go! Take all of them hostages! To battle we now go!" rang out. Apparently they had already come up with their own song for victory.

"Mr. B….IM SCARED!!" said Genial

"Me too!" said Drew

"Keep strong…uh...we….can…..do this….PRAY FOR OUR BAND KIDS LOVING SOULS! And what on EARTH are they saying!!" he said with a final sigh of exasperation. Drew and Genial just shook their heads in sympathy and understanding, and started to conduct/pray. Suddenly, as if just realizing, as usual, Mr. Boomer replied, "Hey, have you noticed that the metronomes seem to be getting some facial features?"

"Yeah your right Mr. B" said Drew

"Yeah I see that too. I can see where their eyes are, and woah! I can see mouths move when they talk...er...beep?"

"weiiiiird" they all chorused. ((talk about a lighter moment during a not so light time haha....oh well its band strange things are bound to happen! anyone else wonder how I know what goes on behind the metronome barricades when I was never there hehe...))

Suddenly another realization was made by Mr. Boomer, "Hey! Wasn't there four of us?"

"huh?" replied Drew and Genial confused.

"Yeah, four of us. As directors! There was me, you two and….Mrs. Ditzy!!"

"hey! Your right!" they simultaneously said.

"There's still hope for them!" Suddenly a huge metronome came face to face ((…err metronome to face err face to metronome…err…you know what I mean!))with them. It just seemed to "look" at them with those somewhat eyes it had, and then went back to whatever it was doing, it looked like it was tuning itself [sweat drop] ((I'm sure that was a sight...)). Slowly all three started to conduct, and prayed that their bandies stayed in perfect step!

On the Battle Field

Back on the battle field, the sky was now a deathly black. Metronomeians and Bandies were all over the field. To the left and right you would see kids marching in formations, while evil metronomes tried to keep them out of step. It was like an early morning or late night band practice gone wrong! It was horrible! ((I wasn't sure if the plan would work of us just marching! Guess our strategies and plans need improvement! We're bandies though! So of course we're going to find a way to figure this out! …I hope ))
