Disclaimer: Nah, I don't own any GA stuff, except for Season 1 and 2 on DVD and the first soundtrack cuz I BOUGHT IT! The song in here is just something I pounded out. It's called "All Just Screwed Up Anyway" and I actually made up a little melody for it. I also made up The Silver.
A/N: I'm trying to copy the GA style of having drama, and then a huge comedy scene. The band just popped into my head. I promise they have a purpose though! I do, really! Seriously. BTW did anyone see the episode tonight? Blew me away. I couldn't stop crying.
Chapter 10: Get Loose
Meanwhile, back at the bar, the interns and Addison were playing "Would You Rather?"
"Okay, Christina..." George tried to think of a question. "Would you rather...eat a handful of mud or...not scrub in on an open heart surgery?"
Christina rolled her eyes. "Mud."
Everyone laughed.
"Hey!" Christina said suddenly. "What's that?"
Everyone turned to see what appeared to be a band setting up in the corner of the bar.
"Hey Joe!" Alex hollered. Joe turned around. "What's the band doing here?"
"Niece's in town with her buddies. Thought I might give their band a little boost."
"You have a niece?" Christina said in a very Christina-like way.
"Niece, boyfriend's friend's niece. Same thing." He shrugged and turned to another customer.
"Is this weird or something?" asked Callie. She obviously hadn't been here much before. The others just shrugged.
They didn't hear the door open. "Hey guys!" yelled Meredith as she took a seat beside them.
"Good thing you're here, Mer. George and Alex were thinking I murdered you." Addison joked.
"Mer! You're alive!" cried Alex in a sarcastically dramatic voice.
"Shut up," muttered George.
No one asked Meredith what she did. They seemed to sense that it wasn't something they really needed to know. Addison looked at Meredith and she looked back. Meredith nodded and Addison smiled.
"Who's the band?" Meredith asked.
As if they're heard her question, the tallest of the four band members, a girl with short blue hair came forward. She was dressed in dark blue jeans and a black off-the-shoulder top. A silver tank top peeked through her shoulder. Her eyes were chalked up with black eyeliner and mascara, making her beige skin look a little severe, but it worked on her.
"Hey everyone! I'm Nina, lead vocalist, and this is our band, The Silver. This is Tanya our lead guitarist (she pointed to a tall, deep skinned girl with a curly black afro and a silver, peasant flowing top over dark jeans), and this is Riley on base (a redhead whose hair looked exactly like Addison's in its spiral curls, wearing a ripped black t-shirt over what looked like a silver tank top), and this is Juan on drums (a Hispanic kid with the same wash of jeans as everyone else and a silver paint-splattered shirt; his hair was short and spiked, revealing nice brown eyes). We're very happy to be here tonight and I'd just like to thank my Uncle Joe for letting us play here. Seattle is awesome."
She paused for some cheers.
"Anyway, we'd like to get started. We hope you like it."
The music started to play hard, harsh, but cool-sounding.
George motioned to Joe. "Tequila shots on me!" he announced.
You think your life
Is so screwed up
Just look at me
I'll set you straight
I'm a damage case
Just waiting to break
Everybody knows
They just don't talk
Meredith's head shot up, as did everyone else's.
"Did they seriously just say that?" Meredith asked.
"Seriously. It's like the twilight zone," responded Alex.
"To us, the screw-ups!" yelled George, who'd already had quite a bit to drink.
"The screw-ups!" yelled everyone else, downing the tequila.
"Let's dance!" yelled Christina.
A few minutes later they were all out on the floor, with all the other bar customers. It was really crowded tonight.
And I say hey
Take a drink, take a dance
It doesn't really matter
Does it
Yeah...
Life's too short to be dreaming
Perfect is an empty word
Just forget what you're saying
It's all messed up but we're all here
We're all here together
Forget everything but now
It's all just screwed up anyway.
"Woohoo!" yelled Christina, swinging her hair all over the place.
"Wooooo!" screamed Addison, curls flying. She was dancing with Alex.
A few minutes later, the song ended with a nice crash and fade out. The six friends collapsed onto bar stools.
"I like this band," declared George.
"Yes," Alex proclaimed, "they're the best."
"You're drunk," Callie laughed.
And then all of them couldn't stop laughing.
Ahh...I love them drunk. It'll be more serious the next chapter. I promise!
