"I'm serious Babe, Bart's picking up the drums so fast, I'm running out of things to teach him." Freddy explained to his boyfriend as they walked through the school halls. School had ended for the day and the two were making their way to band practice. "I've only been teaching for a week too, it's crazy."

"You think he'll be better than you someday?" Zack asked, partially as a joke.

"In his dreams," Freddy responded. "Look, I just said he was good, I didn't say that-"

"Why can't you just admit that I'm right?" Marta asked angrily.

"When you're wrong, you're wrong." Alicia told her.

"And you are factually wrong." Marta told her.

"Big word, did it take you long to think of it?" Alicia asked, amused.

"They're still fighting?" Zack asked.

"They've been at it for a week now, did you really think they'd stop?" Chiaki asked annoyed.

"This is ridicules, you're a teacher, just stop them already." Summer scolded.

"They nearly bit my head off last time I tried to intervene." Chiaki told her.

"Fine, allow me." Summer said walking up to them. "Girls,"

"WHAT?!" They both yelled. Summer turned around and walked back to the other side of the class.

"Ok, not trying that again." Summer said once she rejoined the group.

"Let's just start practice already." Freddy said heading over to his drumset.

"Spazzie's got the right idea. Places everyone!" Chiaki announced. Marta and Alicia turned away from each other and walked over to their places. The bad was about to start playing when they started at it again.

"Hey, that's my microphone!" Marta yelled.

"Excuse me? That's the one I always use." Alicia retorted.

"No you don't, it's purple, your's is the green one."

"No we agreed you get the green one because it looks better with your hair."

"We're not gonna get anything done today are we?" Katie asked.

"I don't even think they'd notice if we left right now." Tomika commented.

"Sorry I'm late peasants, I had P.E. and had to make myself look presentable again. What'd I miss?" Billy asked walking in.

"What does it look like?" Zack asked. All the band members we slumped over their instruments looking tired. Marta and Alicia had gone back to yelling at each other.

"Does anyone actually remember what they were fighting about?" Lawrence asked.

"I doubt even they remember." Freddy told him.

"Girls, girls, time out." Billy said walking over to them. "What seems to be the problem?" The girls started whining at the same time and rather loudly. Billy just stood there nodding.

"Can he...understand them right now?" Summer asked.

"Wow, that is a problem." He said, with the rest of the band surprised her knew what they said. "But I have an idea, why don't we all go to the mall later and we talk this over while we go shopping-"

"I'm not going anywhere with her!" They both yelled.

"Well, I tried." He said walking away from them before they went back to yelling at each other. The band realized they weren't going to get anything done today and decided to pack it in and leave.

"And I thought I was mad when someone else got to the Dave Grohl drumsticks. They don't even know what they're fighting about anymore" Freddy told Zack as they made their way back home. "Hey, you seem distracted, is something wrong?" He asked.

"I'm just thinking, if two people as close as them can start fighting, then could that happen to us?" He asked.

"Babe, don't be silly. We may not agree on everything, but we'll never fight that bad. I swear." He said, taking Zack's hands in his and kissing him on the nose.

Tomika walked inside her house and already heard yelling. "Bro, I know you took my car out last night!" She heard her broth T.J. yelled.

"You can't prove a thing!" Her other brother Tyrone yelled. Tomika was the youngest of four kids. She had three older brothers. Tyrone and T.J. fought alot and her oldest brother, Taylor, didn't live with them.

"Then where did my gas go? I had a full tank when I got home last night."

"I don't know, maybe you left the car going all night,"

"You are a terrible liar! How would I do that with no one hearing?"

"At it again?" Tomika asked her mom, who was trying to read a book and ignore the sound.

"Do they ever stop?" She asked a rhetorical question.

"Gotta deal with it all day at school, only to come home a deal with it here."

"What so you mean honey?" Her mother asked.

"It's Marta and Alicia, they've been fighting for over a week now. We can't even get any practice in it's so bad." She told her mother. "Didn't even think they could disagree on anything."

"Wait, do you hear that?" Her mother asked. Tomika listened closely but could hear what her mom was talking about.

"Hear what?"

"Exactly, they stopped." She said satisfied.

"Already? Hold up, what?" She said going into the living room where her brothers were completely calmed down. "Um, excuse me?" She asked.

"Wassup sis?" T.J. asked.

"Weren't you two about to bludgeon a second ago?" She asked.

"Yeah so?" Tyrone asked.

"Tomiks, we're family. No matter how many times we fight, it's not gonna last long." T.J. added. She thought for a second before she finally got an idea.

"Thanks you guys. I gotta call Zack." She said leaving for her room.

The next day at school Marta opened up her locker and found a letter inside of it. "Marta, come to the gym, I have a special surprise for you. Gordon?" She read. She smiled and made her way there before class. However, when she got there, Alicia was the one she found. "What are you doing here?" She asked annoyed.

"Me? What are you doing here?" Alicia asked.

"Got a letter from Gordon," She told her.

"I got a letter from Tomika,"

"We've been setup," Marta realized.

"Took you long enough," Alicia said.

"Shut up, I'm out of here," She said heading for the door.

"Me too," Alicia said following her to the door. But, before they could leave there was a huge blast of smoke as spotlights turn on towards the stage.

"That's right!" A voice rang through the gym. As the smoke cleared, Marta and Alicia saw Chiaki on stage. "Twas I who wrote the letters!" He said with a triumphant voice.

"We weren't thinking that." Alicia told him.

"Yeah, we literally don't care. Can we go?" Marta asked.

"No." He told them. "Your bandmates, me included, are sick a tired of you two fighting. It's not only getting in the way of practice, but look what it's doing to the two of you. You guys are fighting over everything. Now I know you refuse to talk it out so instead, you're going to sing about it."

"Like on the spot or…?" Alicia began to ask.

"Zack, give them the lyrics." Zack emerged from the stage and handed each of them a piece of paper.

"I wrote this overnight, so don't kill me if it sucks." He said. Chiaki picked up his guitar and started playing.

"Guess we don't have a choice." Marta sighed.

Alicia: B-b-better in stereo

Marta: B-b-better in stereo

A: I'm up with the sunshine (M: let's go!)

I lace up my high-tops (M: oh, no!)

M: You take and left and I take a right

A: But at the end of the day we both know

We're better…

Both: You (you) the other half of me (me)

The half I'll never be

The half that drives me crazy

You (you) the better half of me (me)

The half I'll always need (need)

We're better in stereo

M: B-b-better in stereo

A: Better in stereo

Oh, oh

M: Better in stereo

Oh, oh

A: Better in stereo (b-b-better in stereo)

Oh, oh

Both: Better in stereo

The two of them joined into a hug by the end of the song and the whole band (who were around the gym watching) clapped and sighed in relief. "Marta, I'm so sorry I said I was prettier than you." Alicia confessed.

"And I'm so sorry I brought up that snack shack." Marta continued, though no one knew what they were talking about at this point.

"And I'm so sorry I said your butt was too big to fit on the bus seat." Alicia admitted.

"You did?" Marta asked.

"Not to your face." She told her,

"Oh who cares? You're my best friend and I love you!"

"Oh I love you too!"

"And next time, just ask if you wanna borrow one of my hair clips." Marta told her.

"Wait. A. Fucking. Minute." Freddy said walking up. "A hair clip? A fucking hair clip?! We had to listen to you two bitch and argue for over a week because of a goddamned hair clip?!" He yelled.

"Well yeah," They both said at once.

"I'm done. I'm so done right now." He said walking out.

"I'll go deal with that." Zack said following him out.

"I'm glad you two stopped fighting." Gordon said to Marta as they left the school.

"Me too," She agreed.

"It'll be nice to see you guys joined at the hip again." He joked.

"I'm not sure about that." She began.

"Why not?"

"Alicia's going to be joining the basketball team so she'll be pretty busy." She told him.

"Well, if you ever need someone to kill time with, I'll be there." He told her. She blushed a but before placing a kiss on his cheek and running off towards her house, leaving him with his jaw hanging open and hand over where she kissed him.
