Book Two: The Spot Light Cries For Me

Chapter Twelve: Me and My Gang

Serena sat in one of the chairs on her balcony in her little black bikini talking to Lita. "You wouldn't believe this place Lita! I have a view of the beach and an orgy sized Jacuzzi!" Serena said wistfully. "I love it. I just wish you, Mina, Amy and Rei were here to see it."

Lita sighed over the phone "I wish we were to Sere, but we still have school."

Serena's smiled drooped a bit. "I have a plan that when you guys graduate I'm going to hire you. Amy to do my computer graphics and stuff, Rei to decorate my house, Mina to design my wardrobes and you to be my personal cook."

Lita chuckled a bit "That would be cool Sere…we'll see what the future has in store though. Oh thinking of which…Michelle told us that Darien has been depressed and slacking since you left."

Serena sighed and took a sip of her soda. "I miss him Lita…"

"And he apparently misses you too. Serena, I know you still have his number memorized. You should call him."

"I want too…but…I'm nervous…I programmed it into my phone and everything, but what if he does it again?"

"Only one way to find out." There was a pause and some mumbling on Lita's end "hey Sere, I have to get going. Take care ok? Love you, bye."

"Love you too. Bye-Z-Bye." Serena said before she hung up.

The next morning her phone ringing awakened Serena. She rolled over and picked it up figuring it was K. " 'Ello K…how can I help you this morning?"

"Hey sunshine!" K chirped annoyingly. "Rise and shine and face the day. I'm going to come get you in forty-five minutes to bring you down to the studio to meet your band and guess what else sleepy head? You get to start working on your first album to!" with that annoying interruption to her sleep K hung up.

She rolled over hung up and got up. She opened her drawers and pulled on her bra and panties than pulled on a black button up shirt and black skirt. She pulled on her fishnets and platform buckle boots just to piss off K. She brushed out her hair and pulled it up into pig tails with skull charms and earrings. She tied the black shirt under her breasts and had just finished brushing her teeth when K's voice rang through out the apartment.

"Are you descent?"

Serena came out looking tired and pissed, which only made K grin bigger.

"Alright miss gothic grumpy pants, lets go! Limo is waiting!"

Serena stood in awe before the large building with its thousands of black tinted glass walls. "This is Terran Studios?"

"Yup, a multi-billion dollar recording studio!"

Serena looked around, touching everything as they headed for the large glass elevator that over looked the center of the building. "I feel like I'm in a mix of a music video and MIB head quarters for Christ's sake…"

K pulled her off the elevator as it stopped and lead her down the hall to the last room. Welcome to your private office. Room enough for twenty plus equipment and that's not counting the recording booth!" K said as he opened the door.

Serena walked inside and saw three people sitting the Victor. Victor stood looking a little taken a back by her clothing choice but shook her hand, smiling anyways. "Miss Winston! Pleasure to see you again. I found you a band. I got the video tape of your Christmas performance and found three people to match the sound."

He gestured to a tall young woman with light cocoa cream skin, dark chocolate eyes and dark brown and light pink dreadlocks. She was wearing a white tank top and camo boy shorts with black flip-flops "this is Tawny. She is the most excellent bass player we have here…and next…"

He gestured to a young man, who looked no older than sixteen with light brown freckles across his cheeks and shaggy black hair falling into his bright, expressive green eyes. "this is Sparx. He may look young, I can tell you're worried, but Sparx is well trained with the electric guitar."

"I'm not sixteen miss." Sparx said shyly. "I'm twenty-two…"

Serena looked him over again and saw his untied black converse, tattered jeans and "Cradle of Filth" shirt and couldn't believe it.

"And lastly is your piano man! Richard Hess." Serena quickly looked over to Richard and wanted to drool on her self. Richard was six foot two of pure, tanned man. He had light chocolate brown eyes and thick wavy foam of golden, cooper brown hair. She couldn't believe that someone with his slightly muscular build did techno.

He smiled at her and made her knees go weak. 'This man is walking lust!' Serena thought as she shook his hand.

"People, this is our new singer and I'm sure to be Terran Studio's brightest star Serena!" Victor said proudly as he patted Serena on the back. "Now I'll leave you four to talk."

Serena sat on the chair across from these three people curious about each of them.

"Is that how you normally dress Serena?" Sparx asked, obviously curious about her.

Serena shook her head. "I wanted to piss off the never angering K for waking me up." Serena said shrugged. "What type of music do you three usually play?"

Tawny shrugged "obviously rock techno stuff now. I used to play one hundred percent rock."

Sparx nodded "Same here."

"I dabble. But I do a lot of techno, fusion style stuff." Richard said, his voice as thick as honey and as sensual and erotic as porn.

Serena swallowed and smiled trying to hide her blush. "Well, we need to get along or we'll never be able to work as a band. He picked the best, well I don't just want the best, I want the most cooperative and friendly as well. That's what makes a band work."

"What about you and that band we saw you sing with?" Tawny asked.

"I got along great with them. They were childhood friends and I was dating the black haired one…we broke up though because he was my music teacher…I'm not going to say anymore about that ass though." Serena said curtly "Lets face the future here guys."

Five hours later when K and Victor came back in, Serena was singing to a song that they had come up with. Victor smiled triumphantly knowing he'd made the right choice.
