Recap: "Sweet! Everybody," Her voice got louder and she turned Kaitlyn toward the crowd. "This is my best friend from California, Kaitlyn."
"We used to be in a band together! Me, Gabs, Kaitlyn, and Kaitlyn's boyfriend, Ben. What was our name? Gabby?"
"Um…I think it was, like…KKGB? Or was that, like, our last resort name?"
"The girls wanted it to be Cosmic Kisses, but Ben wouldn't agree." Kaitlyn reminded them.
"Right! But what was our actual name? God, help me out Mom!"
"I remember the songs were written by Kaitlyn and Gabby and they used to have fights about the music, punk or pop or country."
"I remember!" Gabby shouted. "It was Unnamed because Ben wouldn't agree to any of our names!"
Zack and Cody looked at them, confused. The girls had a band? Since when?
"Now that I'm back, we can start the band up again! We need to replace Ben though." Kaitlyn pointed out.
"Hey, Max! Wanna be in our band? Gabby plays guitar and is our lead singer, Kaitlyn plays drums and bass occasionally, and I play the piano. Do you play bass or guitar?"
"I play both! And I'd love to be in your band! Sounds cool. Let's just change the name. I liked Cosmic Kisses."
"Okay!" Gabby, Kaylee, and Kaitlyn said happily.
"Max! What about Rock Squared?"
"Have somebody else play guitar! I'm the only girl!" Max told him.
"Whatever."
The party ended at five, which gave the Cosmic Kisses time to practice. Gabby had her acoustic with a folder stuffed with lyrics and sheet music. She handed the music to Max (the other members knew it by heart) and practiced it while the others set up the equipment. Gabby kept wrinkling her nose from the smell, but she was the only one who minded practicing in the laundry room. Kaylee plugged the guitars and her keyboard into the amp and warmed up with a few scales and simple songs on her keyboard. Gabby strummed her guitar, moving her fingers faster and faster as she went along. Max was practicing the new music, and Kaitlyn was improvising on her drum set.
"1-2-3-4!" Gabby shouted and the girls started playing a poppy beat.
Gabby: "Sometimes (Kaylee: Sometimes) I wish I wasn't me,
Sometimes (Max: Sometimes) I think we're meant to be,
I wish, I could do it again,
But some wounds will never mend,
Sometimes (Kaitlyn: Sometimes) love is strong,
Sometimes (Kaylee: Sometimes) it feels so wrong,
That's, just the way it goes,
I just gotta let the words flow!"
Zack and Cody had entered the room to listen to the girls, and they were impressed. Cody was especially impressed with Gabby, who had just hit a really high note.
All four: "Sometimes…I gotta let it flow
Sometimes…I feel the need to say no (Max: No)
Sometimes…I feel like breaking down
Sometimes…I am so lost
Sometimes…I am found
Kaitlyn: Sometimes I am found
Gabby: Sometimes (Kaylee: Sometimes) I wanna cry
Sometimes (Max: Sometimes) I wanna spread my wings and fly
I fall, so easily
I try, so desperately
Sometimes, I am afraid
Some days, are just bad days
That's just the way it goes (Max: The way it goes)
I just gotta let the days flow!
All four: Sometimes…I gotta let it flow
Sometimes…I feel the need to say no (Max: No)
Sometimes…I feel like breaking down
Sometimes…I am so lost
Sometimes…I am found
Kaitlyn: I am found
Gabby and Max: That's, the way life goes
Max: I just gotta let it flow
Gabby and Max: That's, the way love goes
Gabby: I just gotta let it flow
Sometimes…"
The song ended with Gabby on a high note and a big keyboard solo, finishing with a crash. Zack and Cody looked on.
"Wow…" they said in unison.
"Who wrote that?" Cody, the wanna-be songwriter, asked.
"Gabby." Kaylee told him. Gabby's face was bright red. She looked down, pretending to fix her mike, embarrassed.
"Look at her blush!" Kaitlyn giggled.
"Shut up, Kate," Gabby muttered. She was used to only the band hearing her songs.
"That was awesome, Gabby!" Cody exclaimed.
"Thanks," Gabby said, red as an apple.
"Could you write a song for our band?" Cody asked.
"You really want me to?" Gabby said, looking up.
"Yeah," Zack and Cody said together.
"Sure!" Gabby said, her eyes sparkling.
Wow…that was full of dialogue, wasn't it? Well, I said I'd update all my stories today…so I'm trying. I now have Girl Scout Cookies to keep me going! Yippee! The 25th reviewer gets to have the chapter early! If you're the 25th, email me at and put "25th Reviewer" in the subject box and I'll send you the chapter a day before I post it! Please tell me what you think of the song! I wrote it myself. Be brutal!
