CHAPTER 3

At Zack's house Freddy was lying on the floor and Summer was appling ice to his injuries. Zack and Katie were in the private lounge that belonged to Zack. It had his guitar and a set of drums for Freddy as he usually spent more time at Zack's house than his own. Billy had come round and he and Katie and Zack were having an argument about whether Aaron and Teisha should go out. Mom I gave the cat some acid, by Sonic Youth was playing in the background. "Yes they should so go out! They're so cute together!" Katie said, excitedly. "NO way Katie, they don't suit each other, Aaron and Crystal however would be perfect," Zack replied. "Aaron would never go out with Crystal though, she's such a slut," "Good point, Katie," Billy said. "Ha! See I'm always right Zack." "I still think Aaron and Crystal would be good together," "Nah, Aaron's too good for Crystal, he deserves Teisha." "But their personalities sort of clash. y'know? Cause Aaron's so like fun and shit while Teisha is like a miniature more uptight, bitchy Summer!" Billy lowered his voice on the last word. "I can hear you Billy!" Summer shrieked from the hallway where she and Freddy were entering. "No really? I thought you were just an illusion!" Freddy looked at his watch, jokingly he exclaimed "Fuck! We're late for practise!" "Are you serious! Shit shit shit shit! Guyz c'mon don't just sit there! You realise we are late!" Summer started freaking out immediately. The gang just looked at her, then at each other and cracked up laughing. "Nice one dude!" Zack said, wiping tears from his eye as he held out one hand for Freddy to slap. "Freddy! That's not funny!"Summer yelled, launching a hand at him. He dodged her slap, just. "Relax, Summer it's only 4:00. We don't have practise for like half an hour, anyway don't hit Freddy, you do know if you hit him, you'll probably cause more damage to his already damaged face," Billy said. "Yes, I know that Billy, but thats the point of hitting him. Duh!" Summer exclaimed. "So lets do something..." Katie said, her head was lying on Freddy's leg while he leaned against the couch. "Such as what?" Zack asked. "Oh my God! I just had the bestest idea in the world!" Billy squealed, in his girly voice. "Lets play makeovers!" "Yea! Thats a FANTABULOUS idea, Billy! Both Summer and Katie jumped up screaming. Freddy and Zack looked at each other and shrugged. they didn't get how girls (and Billy) could get so worked up about makeup and clothes.

The two girls dragged the boys into Zack's sister's room. Billy followed close behind. the two guys sat on Beth's bed while Summer, Katie and Billy held a whispered discussion. (yes I am going to have most SoR characters to have older/younger siblings. Beth is Zack's 18 year old sister) Billy and Summer burst out laughing. "Come on Summer, it's not like you've never wanted to see..." Katie trailed off to a whisper. "Do you think Beth will mind if we use her clothes?" Summer turned to Zack. " Go ahead. I doubt she would notice," Zack replied. "Good. Now presenting Miss Katie Elizabeth Brown who will explain in detail exactly what we are going to be doing today! Kat?"

"Thank you, Summer Anne Hathaway. And now on to today's project. What we will be doing today is..." "Katie was interrupted by her phone playing I just wanna live by good charlotte. (she's addicted to that song. Just like someone else I know) "Hi Luka. Can I call you back later. I'm busy right now...It'll only take a minute? Fine." "It's Lulu and Luka." "Whose Lulu?" Zack whispered to Freddy. "you know... Louise, (Louise is one of Katie's many relatives.)"oh, right. the dyed blonde girl with streaks?" Freddy nodded. Summer started whining about how long the call was taking. "Oh my God! that's so awesome! I'll call you later and we can discuss! Seeya! Wait... put Luka on. OMG luka congrats! I'm soo happy for you! Bye!" Katie ended the call and started jumping up and down, screaming. "Kat! What was that about!" Zack yelled at her. "OMG Lulu and Luka are getting married!And they want us to play at the wedding!" Now Summer started squealing and jumping up and down. "Ladies?Ladies! The project remember?" Billy put in. Both girls looked at him blankly. "What project?" Summer asked. "The one we were doing a few minutes ago..." "oh yeah! that one." all three started laughing again. Katie started talking again, "Yes, today's project is dressing up and putting makeup on...Freddy Jones and Zack Mooneyham so they look like girles!" "What! NO, NOT HAPPENING!" Freddy yelled. "NO WAY AM I DRESSING LIKE A GIRL!" Zack joined in. "Well you don't have a choice in this," Summer said, locking the door "Awwww man! Do we have to?" Freddy started complaining and tried to escape through the window. "YES!" Katie said shoving him back onto the bed. Summer came over to join them at Beth's closet. "Let's pick out Freddy first," Billy said. "What about this top?" Katie asked, pulling one out. "And this skirt!" Billy added holding out a miniskirt. Katie held the top up and Billy held up the skirt underneath it for Summer to see. "Yep! That's perfect guys! Freddy will look sooo cute in that," Summer said, smirking at him. Freddy hated being called 'cute' as he thought it wouldn't look so good for his rock image, he scowled at Summer while Zack rolled around on Beth's bed laughing at the image of Freddy ever being called cute. "Shut up Zack! I bet what they choose for you will be just as bad!" Freddy said, annoyed and whacking Zack on the head. Zack stopped laughing, he had forgotten about that. Billy took charge, "Freddy take these and change into them. then while you're changing we can choose Zack's outfit, then we can do your makeup!" he smiled and threw the shirt, skirt at him. "Billy, if he has to look like a girl he's gotta have the works." Summer went over to Beth's drawer and pulled out a bra and a pair of socks for Freddy. Zack immediately started laughing again. Growling under his breath Freddy stalked over to the bathroom and shut the door. "And no trying to escape out the window Freddy! And wash all your gel out! Katie yelled as an afterthought. Loud cursing seeped through the door. "Now for Zack's clothing!" A few minutes later they had Zack's outfit ready to go.

Freddy came out with his hair all wet and plastered down to his head. He was wearing the clothes though. the other four started laughing at the sight of him. Then Zack went to get changed and wash his hair. Billy sat Freddy down at the dressing table and hunted around for Beth's makeup kit. the girls were looking for a hairdryer. "We found it Billy!" Summer and Katie returned with the hair dryer and plugged it in. Billy started drying Fredy's hair while the girls discussed what colours would work for Freddy. When Billy finished drying Freddy's hair he started helping the girls choose. Then Zack came out and had to have his hair dried. "C'mon girlies we only have 20 mintues to work our magic, take photos and get to band practise. The boys gulped, "Did you say photos? I don't look good in photos..." Freddy trailed off. Kaite and Summer were looking at him evilly. "Yes we said photos and what's more we dare both of you to go to band practise dressed like girls!" Summer said, already breaking into fits of laughter. 10 minutes later both boys were sitting on the bed with their makeup on.

Freddy black sleeveless top, with rock angel written on it in white, picture of a punk girl on it bits of pink in the background, blue miniskirt (you know those skirts that have the straight bit at the top then goes all wavy on the skirt bit? yeah those ones) it had blue, white and light green stripes all over it.

Makeup dark blue eyeshadow (Australis), chocolate lipgloss (Bonnie Bell), light broze blush (Australis) and mascara (australis as well)

Zacklight pink tank top with a lace cover on the top with beads and glitter on it, light blue tight girly jeans with a pattern on the side.

Makeup mascara, light blue eyeshadow (Australis), cherry lipgloss (Stuf), light light brown blush (MIKI)

Summer and Katie pulled out their camera phones and had Freddy and Zack pose around Zack's house. Around 5 minutes later they had finished taking photos and were back in the lounge. "Are you really gonna make us go to practise like this?" Freddy asked, he was wondering if they had been serious or not. "Nah, not really," Katie said at the exact time Billy said "Yeah, of course." Freddy and Zack merely looked confused. "No ,you don't have to," Summer decided. "Good!" they both exclaimed. They thundered back up the stairs to get changed and wipe the makeup off. when they were done the 5 drove over to Dewey's for practise. Freddy, Katie and Summer went in Freddy's car and Zack and Billy went in Zack's. Summer wanted to talk to Katie about Lulu's wedding.

When they got to Dewey's they went upstairs and found everyone seated in a circle, including Dewey, staring at Marco and Eleni having another fight. Quietly Katie, Zack, Freddy and Billy joined them while Summer walked to her personal manager's table to write in Lulu's wedding in her planer for future gigs. "Attention everbody!" she yelled into the silence. Marco and Eleni had stopped fighting and had turned away, each being mad at the other. In the silence her yell sounded louder than it actually was. Everyone screamed, none of them had noticed her arrival, or for that fact the others. Dewey was so shocked he lost his balace and toppled over his chair. He righted himself and everybody got into their positions. "Listen up people! You all know Katie's cousin Louise/Lulu don't you?" there was a collection of yeses and nos. "Well she's getting married in, how long Kat? Right. In 2 months, and they want us to play for them!" Summer smiled around at the group as they erupted in a frenzy of yells, screams and cheers. "We'll let you know the finer details in a week." Summer let them celebrate for a while but before long she brought them back to the intention of practise.

A couple of minutes later everyone was back in their positions. Suddenly Marta, who had liked Freddy since 4th grade, noticed his bruises and black eye. She shrieked hysterically, again everyone was shocked. Then they noticed Freddy, all the girls started screaming, while the guys looked over then turned back to their instruments. It was nothing new, Freddy had been in fights before. But Zack had to admit, he had never gone so far as to deal with a split lip, black eye and swollen knuckles before. Katie went over to hug him, again. She very lightly ran a finger over his black eye. Freddy winced and grabbed her hand. Katie only then realised just how hard he had been hit, she leaned over to kiss him, but not very hard as she didn't want to cause him more pain. By now tears were coursing down her cheeks, Katie couldn't believe Freddy was in so much pain because of her. She felt bad, worse than bad, she felt horrible, more even. At the touch of her tears, Freddy gently pulled her into his lap and clutched her to his chest. Her hands curled around his shirt as she sobbed in his arms. Marta glared at her, angrily. She hated it whenever Freddy and Katie kissed or made any public display of afection. It just reminded her that she was no match for Katie, and that Freddy had chosen Katie over herself.

Alicia noticed Marta glaring at Katie and dragged her into Dewey's kitchen. "Marta, I know you like Freddy but get over it girl! Snap outta this, he's happy with Katie and I don't think anything that you do will get him to start liking you," Alicia said to her. "I know that! but I can't help being jealous! It's just I've liked him since forever..." "Fourth grade actually," Zack interjected, sitting at Dewey's kitchen table drinking a coffee and had been watching the girls with interest. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Marta shrieked, then dropped her voice and demanded, "Did you hear everything we said!" Zack nodded, enjoying the shocked expressions on Alicia and Marta's faces. "Marta, it's so obvious that you like Freddy, even Freddy knows it." Zack said as he walked along to the kitchen bench and sat on it. Alicia pulled the door shut again after checking that no one was going to walk in anytime soon. Marta sat down next to Zack and leant her head on her knees. "I can't help it, being jealous I mean, look at me! It's no wonder that he chose her over me! Seriously!" Marta poked herself in the stomach. Over the years she had begun eating more especially during the year and a half when she went out with Dale who kept forcing her to eat more and more. She had gained alot of weight then and was still trying to work it off. Spending more time at the gym and going on diets, she had first started trying to work it off 2 years ago and she still retained some of the fat. Marta was tall, blonde, sapphire eyes, stylish, rich and chubby compared to Katie, who was tall, tanned, dark hair, slim though she ate alot of junk food, punk, rich and had a perfect boyfriend. "When we stand next to each other you can immediately tell who's prettier, and you can guess it's not me," Marta blurted out. "Yedhj noehyf thsd nowthg truekg," Zack mumbled, finishing his chocolate chip muffin which he had stolen from a packet on the counter. "What? Try without the muffin Zack," Marta said. He swallowed, with difficulty,"You know thats not true,Marta, you are pretty and your guy is waiting out there somewhere for you," he said softly, sometimes Zack was so caring you couldn't tell he was the type of guy who would like punk and rock and be friends with Freddy, the reknowned bad boy. "Well tell him to find me now!" she wailed dropping her head again. "Guys, everyones waiting for us," Alicia broke in pulling Marta up off the bench. Zack nodded and jumped off the bench to follow close behind.
