Chapter 2: Music and Males
Amy smirked as she walked down the street with her friends. "That'll show him, I don't need anyone making college harder than it already is." "So we're going to practice today right?"
"Sure." Rouge and Cream replied in unison.
The three of them were in a band called the Ultimates. They were still working on the name though. When they finally reached the house they were setting up in the garage. Amy played the main guitar while cream played the drums and Rouge played base. They hooked up their instruments as the talked about things.
"So what song do you guys wanna play?" Cream asked as she set down at the drums.
"I wanna play that new song we've been working on." Amy answered as she hooked an amp plug into her guitar.
"Oh yea 'No Body's Fool' right?" Rouge seconded.
"Yea lets do that one."
They each started palying as Amy prepared to sing. She was the main singer for the group really but the other two could sing very well too.
Step up… step up… step up
Fall back take a look at me
and you'll See I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to you
let me know and I'll go cause I
flow better when I my colors show
And that's the way it has to be honestly
cause creativity could never bloom in my
room I throw it all way before I lie
so don't' call me with a compromise hang up the
phone I gotta backbone stronger than yours.
Amy seem to just flow with the music which she wrote most ofThe others began to sing background for Amy. (la la la la la, la la la la la)
Yea yea yea
If you're tryen to turn me into someone else
it easy to see I'm not down that
I'm no body's fool (I'm no body's fool)
IF you're tryen to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm no body's fool) I'm no body's fool.
If you wanna bring me down go head and try--- go head and try
They all had smiles on their faces as they began to feel the thrill of their notes and words.
You don't know, you think you know me like yourself
but I fear that your only tellen
me what I wanna here
But do you give a damn understand
That I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might of fallen for that when I was fourteen
and a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years could mean
(la la la la la la, la la la la la)
yea yea yea yea-
If your tryen to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(I'm no body's fool) I'm no body's fool
If you're tryen to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm no body's fool) I'm no body's fool
If you wanna bring me down go head and try
Go head and try
(oh oh oh oh)
go head and try, try to look me in the eye
but you'll never see inside until you realize, realize
the things I'm tryen to settle down, just tryen to figure out
exactly what I'm about if it's with or without you
I don't need to doubt in me
If you're tryen to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that.
(I'm no body's fool) I'm no body's fool
If you wanna bring me down go head and try--- try---
(la la la la la) yea yea yea-
But cha'll be laughen out loud cause I fade into my own crowd
Yea yea yea yea yea
They all gave a loud scream of excitement as the final notes on the instruments faded. "That was asom guys!" Amy sat her guitar up against one of the old amps they used and then sat down on a stool.
"Yea it was good, but it's not completely what M.O.A is looking for (Music Of America). This was a large company that specialized in finding bands that could play and play well. The M.O.A was kind of like a glorified American idol, but was a good way to get started on one's way to the top none the less. The M.O.A was coming through the girls' town on their way to New York City where they would have the top band play on national TV and radio, not to mention the big contract the winning band got.
"What'd ya mean Rouge?" Amy looked at her a little confused; Rouge had never put down their music before.
"I did some research last night on what they're looking for." "And they're looking for bands that have girls and boys in it."
"What, why?" Amy couldn't believe this.
"I don't know something about how they want their bands to represent everyone together not favoring men or women." Rouge leaned back on the walk with one foot to it and the other holding her position steady.
"That's not fair we're as good as any band and we get shoved out cause we don't have some idiotic males in our band." Amy was getting angrier by the second.
"Well we could look around and try to find some guys to join." Rouge posed the suggestion quietly.
"You bet we will!" Amy answered strongly. She earned a good 'huh' from both Cream and Rouge. Amy walked back over to her guitar and started packing it up. "We've worked to hard and to long not to be able to audition. This is our big chance and I won't let some boy stand in the way of this." She picked up her instrument and sat it in its usual resting spot before getting ready to head up to her room. "Besides once we get the contract we might even be able to get the boys out of our band."
"Yea we rock hard all on our own." Cream agreed.
"I'll see you guys later I'm going to bed."
