High Resolution Chapter one. Another movie remake. This one is from Disney Channel original movie Pixel Perfect. The Megawatts want to hit it big but image cuts their latter short. The beginning I start with my main character expressing herself but later it will continue in 3rd person.
'We been playing for weeks to get this one song to be perfect. I thought it was going to be easy to create a demo but it's harder than I thought. As soon as we were done with it we listen to it and imagine ourselves hitting it big. The glitz and the glamour. It sounds pretty neat but we're barley out of high school. What natural or unnatural phenomenon can happen to gets us notice by a production company?'
"We sound great," I say after hearing our first recorded demo.
"It could use a little sprucing up," says Xander my best friend and our manager. He's the guy with all the plans.
"What are you going to do?" ask Willow our drummer.
"Don't make us sound all robotic," says Anya our keyboard player.
"I promise I won't," says Xander with a smile. Love that smile. "I just need to fix the sound quality a little. It's not a studio composition but it may sound like one."
'Xander is a wiz at computer stuff. He's dad is being funded by a big company to create something incredibly big with the high tech computers that they gave him. Xander is really the only one who uses it. We recorded the demo thanks to this computer.'
"Ladies," says Xander as he pops out a CD out of the CD Rom. "Your first demo."
"Thanks Xander," I say with smile as I take the CD and give Xander a kiss on the cheek.
"Your welcome," replies Xander speechless after that.
"Oh, you guys I gotta show you something," says Xander typing away on the computer. 'On the big screen monitor he creates an image of a bird.'
"It's cockatoo," I say. It's one of my favorite birds.
"I knew you'd like it," says Xander as he presses a button. "Now check this out."
'The bird from the screen suddenly appears on a platform between two lights.'
"Wow!" says Willow walking over to the bird.
"That's amazing," Anya says.
"How are you doing that?" I ask.
"It's a hologram," says Xander. 'Willow attempts to touch the bird but her hand goes right through.'
"But it looks so real," says Willow. "Xander you've out done yourself this time."
"Thanks," says Xander with that smile again.
'Then on the next day at school Xander is waiting for me at the front. He's wearing a brown shirt, which always looks good on him.'
"What's up?" I ask.
"I've got something to tell you," says Xander.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I'm so in love with you," says Xander getting on his knees.
"You ah, really," I say.
Then my head seems to rewind everything. I then walk up to Xander.
"I've got us a gig," says Xander.
"You what!" I say. "That's great!" 'I hug him really tight.'
"It's tonight so tell the girls," says Xander. "Well I gotta go to class. See you tonight."
"Of course," I say with a smile.
'This is so exciting. Our first gig. It's like a dream come true. I've pictured myself up on stage with a million adoring fans desiring to touch my hand. It's going to be night we are never going to forget.'
'The night came and we are getting set up. I was back stage a little nervous and Xander came in.'
"Hey, guys are you ready," says Xander.
"Ready as we're ever going be I think," says Anya.
"I'm feeling good," says Willow twirling her drumsticks. Xander turns to me.
"Tara," says Xander. I give him a smile.
"I'm ready," 'I say pushing my hair back behind my ears.'
The girls then walk out on stage. The club is pack with many people. Tara, the lead singer grabs the mic.
"Hi, we're The Mega-watts," says Tara. "I hope you like our sound."
"One, two, three," says Willow counting. They begin to play. Tara starts the song with a rock/pop sound.
The crowd is cheering to the song. The band rocked on with another song, which there was no doubt that crowd, enjoyed every minute of it. The girls smile and headed back stage. There they meet up with Xander.
"You were awesome," says Xander hugging Tara. She blushes and hugs him back. The two girls smile as Xander releases Tara and hugs the other girls.
'He hug me with more enthusiasm then he did with the girls. I'm sure the girls don't mind.'
"They loved you guys," says Xander. "And I just saw one of Sony music producers out there."
"It's that him," says Tara. A man with bleach blonde hair walks back stage.
"Hi, I'm William James. You probably recognize me by the name Spike." The guy is wearing a leather jacket and he walks up to Tara pushing Xander out of the way. "You were extraordinary." He kisses her hand. "You all were."
"Hey, I'm their manager," says Xander stepping forward.
"So you got these beautiful ladies together?"
"Yeah." Xander folds his arms on his chest.
"Great. I'd like to sign them up to my record company."
"Really. That's great." Tara faces her band mates.
"Why don't you girls come to my office and play for my boss tomorrow?" says Spike.
"That it will be..."
"Wait a minute," says Xander interrupting Tara. She looks at him.
"What?"
"We have school tomorrow," says Xander. Spike looks at Xander then at Tara.
"Okay," says Spike. "How about Saturday at ten?"
"Sounds great," says Tara with a smile as she shakes Spike's hand. Xander looks at her.
"I'll see you then," says Spike with a smile. He winks at Tara and walks out.
"Oh, my gosh we got a deal," says Willow.
"This so great," says Anya. "We can finally to people who actually like our stuff that have money."
"That's great," says Xander as he walks out. Tara goes after him.
"Xander wait," calls Tara grabbing his shoulder. Xander turns around. "This could be really good for us."
"I know," says Xander. "You guys mind if you go without me? I've got something to do." He turns around and heads to the exit. Tara watches him as the door swings close.
'Saturday came and we were ready to show Mr. William's boss that we are the best the he's ever going hear. We rehearse until our ears hurt. Well, really it was that our neighbor told us to stop or else she'd call the police.'
"Ethan these are the Megawatts," Spike introduces the girls to his boss. The girls enter the room and set up. They start to play and as soon as it was over the girls didn't see a convince man. Ethan goes over to Spike and tells him something in his ear. Spike nods his head and looks at the girls.
"Brilliant sound," says Ethan. "Sign them immediately." He pats Spike on the shoulder and goes over to shake the girls hands. The girls are trilled. Ethan then leaves the room.
"It's great," says Spike with a non-enthusiastic tone. "There's just one thing."
"What?" ask Tara.
"Do you know how to dance?" ask Spike.
"Why?"
"Ethan wants someone who can light up the stage up front. He wants a dancer."
"We don't do that."
"It's what the people like. It's the bloody image you guys need to portray."
"What are we going to do?" ask Willow.
"We play not dance. We're not trained monkeys," says Anya.
Meanwhile at Xander's house, Xander is typing away in his dad's computer working on a project he has been working on for the last couple of days. On his desk is folder filled with pictures and the front of the cover says Buffy.
"Alright, here goes nothing," says Xander as he presses a button. In the spot where his hologram bird appeared something new materialize in its place. It's a woman with blonde golden hair and green eyes. "I did it." Xander looks down and realizes he forgot to program clothes for her. He cover's his eyes and heads over to the computer.
Searching the net, he finds the perfect outfit for her. Fully clothed Buffy steps out of the hologram platform and looks at herself.
"Welcome to Sunnydale, California Buffy," says Xander. Buffy looks at him with a big smile.
