A/N: Yay! New Chapter! Sorry about it taking so long, for some reason it wouldn't let me update for like 4 days. And I've had this chapter done since the day after I posted the first. But ok, here's s bit of info so it doesn't confuse you later on.
'Tama' is a drum set brand name.
I can't help but love AFI and put one of their songs in this story. And if you guys want name some bands off to me so I can incorporate them into chapter titles. I love doing that.
Disclaimer: I don't own Four Brothers, Sid Vicious, AFI's music, or the Mercers. But I do own my main character girl person, druggie/bassist-Seth, and my brotherman Wednesday.
(chapter title from the band Coal Chamber)
BTW: Wednesday really does scream like a girl. Confused? Don't worry, you'll understand. V

Sway
"Alright 'nough bout eating babies, though it sounds real appetizing I'm sure we've got a crowd to sway. Places ladies…" she said, accidentally glancing at blondie catching his eyes and the weird look he was giving her.
Why's he looking at me like I were dirty laundry? Ha, probably thinks I suck at drumming cuz I'm a chick. This fucker's in for a surprise. …1…2…3…4…5…6…
Starting the rhythm to A Single Second, they played…
Bambi screamed into the mic…
"Oh my God!
My
God this can't be happening!
God tell me,
Tell me this isn't real!"
Jack stared at the three. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The guys' voice was amazing, not like Havok's but sick none the less, the bassist was jumping off two of his amps, and the chick. She was unbelievable…for a chick. She was fast, and on time with every beat. He stared at her in awe, all the while the song was making him want to grab his guitar and start thrashing some finger tapping riffs.
"Fear memories are
all that lie ahead. (Memories dull my senses.)
Never have I felt
so lost.
Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead. (Memories dull my
senses.)
Never have I felt so dead."
The flakey band off to the side started gawking at Morningstar now realizing what sound they have to match. They started going over soon to be played songs double checking lyrics and cues yet again. Wanting to prove that they had something, anything that could come close to what Morningstar had.
"I Feel so…
I Feel so Lost…
I Feel So Lost…
I
Feel So LOST!"
Every chance she got she'd look around the crowd, feeling weird. Thinking it was nothing she continued to play still uncomfortable but soon forgot everything around her and focused solely on beating the shit outta the bar owner's Tama set.
"Fear tragedy
is all that lies ahead. (Memories dull my senses.)
Never have I
felt so…"
With the last beat the audience roared their 'Fuck Yeah's and their usual praises with 'fuck's thrown in. Bambi then spoke to the crowd as he picked up a water bottle on an amp near by.
"That was our AFI tribute song for tonight. We always get one cover in each show we do. Hope you all enjoyed it. Our band is Morningstar, for those who didn't notice our huge fucking banner on the wall behind us."
Sid wiping the sweat off his face said, "Alright, time for introductions. I'm Seth and I'm an addict…" Seth said looking from the crowd to Bambi who finished draining the bottle.
"My name is Wednesday and I'm an alcoholic. And as for our foxy lady over there, she's Michelle and she's a lesbian."
Raising her arm about to wave she changed her mind and through a stick at Bambi. Not a second later Bambi was screaming like the dickless girl he was trying to dodge drum sticks as if he were Neo from the Matrix, and of course failing horribly.
Seth choking back laughter spoke into the mic to the audience; who were 'woohoo'ing and laughing at the one sided cat fight and Wednesday's high pitched screams, "Ha, ok stop with the child abuse Michael. Ha. Anyways this next song's called…"
Getting their act together, and drum sticks, they played 4 more songs they had on a demo of theirs being sold back towards the bar on the side at the merchandise tables for the bands. Jack now knowing her name continued watching the rest of their performance.
Ending the last song they said their thank you's and good bye's to the crowd while passing the stage onto the next band. Seth and Wednesday grabbed their guitar and bass and headed off stage to the band hang out. Michelle grabbed her 3 pairs of sticks (incase the first broke down and the second killed it's self there'd be her lucky 3rd pair) left the set for the next band to use.
It was nice of Steve to let me use his set for tonight considering I'm leaving in 4 hours and I wouldn't have the time to bring mine over, set it up, play it, pack it, and take it back home. Usually he's uptight about bands using the bars' back up equipment but I guess it's cuz his nephew's band doesn't have their own.
Reaching the hang out she smiled at the kiddy band walking towards her to the stage to plug in their gear.
"Good luck guys, have fun out their and don't piss yourselves!" Michelle said slapping one of the kids on the back as she passed them.
Pushing past drunken teenagers, moshing punks, and slutty girls, he made it to the side door to get backstage. Wanting to be there to catch Michelle before she disappeared after their last song he wanted to…to…?
Hearing the crowd's noise fade as the door clicked behind him he looked up at his band mates starring back at him.
What the…where's…?
"Hey man, where've you been? Were you at the bar the whole time checking that hot drummer chick out? Man we got another round and came here like three songs ago." His lead guitarist said. Looking at him confusedly Jack looked around the strange looking room for Michelle only seeing posters, a couch, quarters glued to the floor, and guitars, basses and drumsticks littering the walls.
"Man you were totally checking that bitch out cuz we tried talk'n to ya but you were fuck'n dazed as hell man!"
Jack looked at his guitarist with a quirked brow over the 'bitch' comment but figured he's always spoken like a fucktard. "It was nothing. Just liked their sound. But where'd they go, I just wanted to give them props on their show?"
"Dude, drop her. She's too prude for you man. I tried hitt'n on that and the fucking bitch punched me in my gut. And fucking hard to, man." He said rubbing his stomach.
The band's bassist shoved the guitarists arm in a friendly way and countered with saying, "That's cuz you didn't hit on her, you grabbed her ass and said 'Nice Kitty'. I don't blame her for punch'n you or her band mates for laughing at you, ha."
The guitarist flipped him off and then dejectedly sat on the couch.
"Good for her then. You were bound to get the shit kicked outta you by a girl one of these days. But anyways where'd they go?"
The bassist pointed to the back door; closer to the stage but still hidden from the crowd that was behind himself.
"Thanks, I'll be back soon guys."
Jack went out the back door while smirking at the thought of his guitarist getting grinded by a chick.
And Bobby says I'm a fairy.
A/N: Wha…? Cliffhanger? That's gay. Ha. Hmm. I don't know if I liked exactly the way her names was given out. Before I wrote it I kinda wanted her to end up telling him herself, but I was getting annoyed by all the times I could only refer to her as, well, 'her' or 'drummer chick lady person'. Yeah. Annoying. Oh and she's not a lesbian. She will eventually end up falling for Jack soon, and he doesn't know it yet but he's falling for her too. Yay!
So there ya have it. Michelle. Named her after the song My Michelle that Guns and Roses did, which yes, AFI did a cover of. But her character has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song. But yeah, almost everything leads back to AFI.
I was definitely born cool like that. V
