CaliforniaDreamin – Guess WHAT?

JustWannaRock – What?

CaliforniaDreamin – My mom wants us to perform tomorrow night! She even said she'd pay us.

BahavianAngel – Awesome! We have a gig!

MrMoney – Pay? I like pay…

CaliforniaDreamin – Life isn't all about money, Cory.

MrMoney – You're so right, Alyssa.

BahavianAngel – What time should we come over to practice, Newt?

JustWannaRock – Whenever. Except, not before eight. Or I'll still be asleep. And you won't have any electric guitar. All you'll have is acoustic. Unless Alyssa wants to play electric…

MrMoney – Dude, I'm not even awake at 9 on Saturday mornings.

CaliforniaDreamin – What about 2ish?

JustWannaRock – I'm awake by then…

CaliforniaDreamin – I g2g…Danny and Drake are complaining about my super loud keyboard.

MrMoney – My laptop's about to die, g2g!

"We need more songs." Meena declared.

"But –" Cory opened his mouth to protest.

"Meena's right." Alyssa said.

"What would you suggest?" Cory changed his mind instantly.

"Hmm…what about…Time For Me To Fly?" Alyssa suggested.

"What?" Cory and Meena exclaimed.

"It's a Jonas Brothers song." Alyssa said.

"That song has great guitar…" Newt commented.

"You listen to the Jonas Brothers?" Cory said to Newt.

"They're not my favorite band, but they're pretty cool." Newt shrugged.

"Cory and I don't know the song though." Meena pointed out.

"Well, what's a song we DO know?" Alyssa asked.

"Rush?" Meena said.

"Yeah!" Newt exclaimed.

"Newt, you should sing! You have a great voice." Alyssa said. "And don't tell me you don't, because I've heard it." She

Alyssa grabbed the acoustic guitar, which now had it's own stand on the stage, everyone else sat, or stood, at their instruments.

"Into you head, into your mind, out of your soul, race through your veins. You can escape, you can escape." Meena sang.

"Into your life, into your dreams, out of you soul, sunlight again. You can't explain, you can't explain." Alyssa sang.

"Can you feel it?" Alyssa sang.

"Can you feel it?" Meena sang.

"Rushing through your head, rushing through your head." Newt sang.

Can you feel it, can you feel it?" they sang together.

-------------------------

"Don't let nobody tell you your life is over, be every color that you are, into the rush now, you don't have to know how, know it all before you try."

"Pulling you in, spinning you round." Meena sang.

"Lifting your feet, right off the ground." Newt sang.

"You can't believe it's happening now." Alyssa sang to the small audience.

"Can you feel it?" The three sang. "Don't let nobody tell you your life is over, be every color that you are, into the rush now, you don't have to know how…"

Cory quieted the drums.

"Know it all before you try." Alyssa sang.

The five person crowd applauded. Alyssa saw her mom and brothers applauding from the counter.

"You wanna know more, more, more about me." Alyssa started the next song.

-------------------

Alyssa's mom placed cold water bottles in front of the four friends, who were sitting at the counter. The show had ended, and everyone who had been there had come up to the group and complimented their musical abilities.

"So, what do you think of coming and performing every Saturday night?" Mrs. Evan asked them.

"That'd be great!" Meena said.

A man walked up to the group.

"Hello, I'm Seth Thompson. I apologize for interrupting, but I was wondering if you four would like to audition for a recording contract?"

-------------------

A/N: OOH, cliffhanger! I enjoy those. Or at least, reactions. Sorry it took me so long to update, I kinda had writer's block! I'll try to be better about updating this story…I'm thinking it's going to be a short one, though. (Don't worry, not ending anytime soon!) Well, I don't think I have anything else to say… - CaliforniaRockin-101
