A/N: Sorry I had to include Tony, but I like technicalities and this is
the only way I could get much of a band. Just having Calvin and Hobbes,
knowing that Hobbes probably wouldn't sing that much, was kindof weak. No
offence to Elvenking, whose fic about Calvin having a band I think is
pretty good. It's just my opinion. So, I have Tony back up or play or
whatever. So obviously Calvin is 10. Just ignore me and go and read.
Disclaimer: I don't own Calvin and Hobbes.
Up in a tree, totally hidden from view by the bright green leaves that danced lightly in the wind, 10 year old Calvin was in an unsettling meeting of G.R.O.S.S with Hobbes and Tony. It was unsettling because the three were arguing over a question that had haunted them for over a week: how to collect funds for G.R.O.S.S.
"How about we buy all the tuna in the supermarket and then sell it for a lot more?" Hobbes said, in typical tiger fashion.
"We don't have enough money to buy three cans of tuna. Hobbes would probably eat all of it anyway." Tony pointed out. Hobbes glared at Tony, his tail waving dangerously.
"Hey! Hobbes! Listen! Why don't we charge money to watch the fights between me and Moe?" Calvin suggested.
"No, that won't work. Moe would probably take it." Hobbes said.
Finally, after another thirty minutes, they decided to have a charity concert in Calvin's front lawn and they would make money by running a refreshment stand. After much thought on who should run the stand, they decided to let Susie. Sure it would be hypocrisy, but the three of them needed to be in the band and besides, Susie was known for her selling ability. She had been top seller in her Girl Scout troop three years in a row and sold the most fundraising stuff for the school.
Three weeks later, Calvin, Hobbes and Tony had written the songs, which would go to the tune of popular songs. They had also made a stage, borrowed Calvin's Dad's keyboard, Tony's Dad's drum set and microphones and Tony's kid guitar. The three members of G.R.O.S.S had practiced their songs. Everything was ready for today. Calvin would play the keyboard, Tony, the guitar, and Hobbes would play the drums. Susie would man the refreshment stand.
When Calvin's parents, Tony's parents and Susie's parents (Susie had told them where she was going to be and they decided to come) had arrived and sat down in the chairs, the concert began.
"Hey there everyone!" Calvin shouted. The six grownups clapped. "Welcome to the G.R.O.S.S charity concert. The money you donate will go to our club to benefit young men." He waved his hand behind unconsciously. He had gotten this sales type pitch from the salesmen who came to the door.
"Today our first number be 'Get Rid Of Slimy girlS Club Band' Are you ready!?" He shouted even louder. A few half-hearted cheers came from the parents and one or two great cheers came from the kids across the street, who had come because of the noise. Calvin took a deep breath and started playing the opening measure. Hobbes and Tony joined in. The noise rattled the windows, but even the parents had to agree it was good.

Everyone clapped and Calvin, Hobbes and Tony bowed. As they kept on bowing, Calvin whispered to Hobbes, "Faze one is complete."
To be continued..
