"Who's ready for another lost?" Melody asked as everyone walked to the music building to get ready for the next game. Luna was about to respond when her phone buzzed. She looked at it and saw it was the house phone, which was odd since they knew she was busy today.

"Hello?" Luna asked confused.

"Hey Luna," Lynn said from the other end. "Guess what I have great news!"

"What is it?" Luna asked knowing it had to be important if she called right now.

"I found the perfect school for you." Luna stood in shock. Not once had she said anything negative about Amberheart. The only thing that could be somewhat considered negative was how she would say she didn't like being so far away. '"It's close by, has a marching band, and most importantly they have an amazing football team."

Luna rolled her eyes, of course, Lynn would focus on the sports. Despite being only a sophomore she was already being looked by some of Michigan's top college sports teams.

"Listen I appreciate the gesture of looking for a closer school," Luna began and her friends halted in their path. "But I love it here at Amberheart. I wish I could stay and chat but I have to go get ready for the game."

"But at least." Luna hung up before Lynn could finish. Luna decided to silence her phone and shoved it in her pocket. She rolled her eyes and continued walking.

"Let me guess Lynn," Melody said as they reached the music building door.

"Yup," Luna put it bluntly. She walked into the building. Her friends didn't say anything else to let her cool off a little. Luna knew they had heard at least the final part of the conversation and were probably feeling awkward. The walked down to the closet and received their uniforms. Once they changed into them they started to put their instruments together.

"Oh, my looks like it might rain during the game brace yourself," One of the seniors said looking out the door.

"Thanks a lot, Ethan," Melody said before playing a concert B flat or a C on trumpet.

"We played last week and it didn't rain," Ethan pointed out, "so don't blame me."

"Maybe she was being sarcastic," Issac said and Luna smiled the pure human being Isaac was.

"Melody let it go," Aria said after she tuned her flute.

"Yeah it isn't even raining," Luna thought to herself. Knowing how Melody can be she did not say her thought aloud.

Soon Taylor walked in and the band did their warm-ups. Once they were all done they walked outside and lined up. In a few minutes, the band was marching down to the football stadium and on the field. Unlike the home opener, the Amberheart marching band played the first half of their marching band show before the game and the second half during halftime. There were always fewer people present during the pre-game show than during the halftime show but Luna didn't care. She assumed that people who were present during the pre-game show would stay for halftime if they liked the show.

Once the band was done playing the returned to their bench seats and waited for the team to enter. Once they did they did their usual routine and started waiting.

"Something happen, something happen," Luna heard Aria sing to herself as she bounced a little in her spot. Shortly after she started singing the opposing team scored a touchdown. "That wasn't what I meant."

After the touch down the station, the game was airing on decided to go to commercial. The band lifted their instruments hiding their smile, hoping to play but whoever was running the stadium's jumbotron decided to play an add for a brand beer that the stadium sold. The band right after but anyone watching they were annoyed by the delay.

Luna hated all the adds the stadium played during one game. There were already adds for some local and many more corporate businesses. This, of course, included the brand of beer that was advertised on the jumbotron. The band also hated them as it was hard for them to play during the add because the music was always louder than the band could play because the adds had a speaker. Meanwhile, the bad had only themselves and however loud they can play. They couldn't even play as loud as they could as playing too loud can ruin the sound of the instruments. So, many couldn't wait for halftime when for the only time they were the spotlight.

After a few minutes, Luna felt something land on her hat. Luna looked up and saw nothing. About a few seconds later Luna felt something on her hand, something wet. At that moment she knew what was happening. Raindrops kept falling much to everyone's annoyance.

"Protect the instruments!" Someone shouted from behind Luna. Luna wrapped her arms around her sax the best she could. In front of her, she saw the flutist shoving their flutes in their sleeves. Unfortunately, no sooner did they do that did Amberheart score a touchdown. The audience cheered and the band played the touchdown chant. As soon as they were done the instruments went back into their protection spots. Luna looked at the clock and there were about 5 minutes left in the second half. Luna knew from the past games that five minutes in football time could mean half an hour real time.

When halftime finally came Luna took notice that field was much more slippery than usual. The football player's cleats had turned up the field despite it being made of turf. The rain also made the turf very slippery. As she marched on Luna prayed she wouldn't slip and fall anytime. It appeared that there were fewer people who were staying for the show than normal. The show went on and people were huddling for shelter where food was sold. It seemed the rain had even caused some people to leave prematurely. Luna remembered people going to their cars when it down poured during Lynn's games. The Loud sisters whenever present would normally sit out in the rain to support their sister. However, most didn't attend her games when it was already raining.

The second half of the game went by very slowly. When the band wasn't playing they were protecting the instruments from the rain. Since it was already a little chilly out, it being October and all, soon adding rain to the equation made it even colder. Looking over to the band directors they were all in their windbreakers but they were wearing hoods to help with the rain. Luna shivered a few times through the game and couldn't wait to get back to her dorm room to snuggle in her blanket and make some hot chocolate to drink. She really felt bad for the color guard they also had windbreaks but Luna could tell they were still cold. She could see them shivering from a few rows away. Luna was very hesitant to drink from her water as it was also cold.

"And that's the game folks," the announcer said and Luna sighed in relief she would soon be warmed up. "With that Amberhear wins!"

The band cheered at the news as Luna looked at the scoreboard. She was so focused on staying warm that she never once focused on the score. When she looked over Amberheart had scored one more touchdown than their opposing team. The band played their celebration song and a few more before leaving. Once they were inside they all sighed in relief at the warmth and dryness. Everyone wiped downed their instruments and some left their cases opened in their band lockers until their next rehearsal. Being exposed to water for so long could damage these instruments. So wiping them down is very important. For an alto, the pads on the holes could fall off or get damaged and the noted wouldn't sound right.

"Finally we're dry," Melody said in relief. She was using some paper towels to get the water out of her hair for some reason. Aria had hair that was longer than Melody's and she wasn't that desperate. Though Aria was annoyed at her somewhat hair that could be because she was cold.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me," Ethan whispered as he walked by. Luna put her stuff away and put her jacket on. She put her hood over and with Melody and Aria headed to her their dorms. There they would warm and dry.
