Koutai: Hi!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for reviewing and reading, and talking to me!!!!! Love you guys, u rock!
Devi/Nick POV
Telepathy/ flashback
I DO NOT OWN JONAS OR ROCK BAND OR HONOR SOCIETY!!!
Rose raised her eyebrows in a skeptical way. "Thanks, but no thanks." She stated, without heat. "Keep your knowledge to yourself. VIP stands alone." I was about to speak, but voices were coming towards us.
Fang was in front of the group, and the drummer, bass player, and keyboardist followed.
"Fang!" Rosa said sweetly, "We have company." Fang looked up, his eyes hidden by sunglasses. From his posture, he did not seem surprised by our presence.
"So we do." His voice was uncaring and my theory of him being my brother became less and less possible. I think approaching them about it may have been the wrong move.
JOE'S POV
Fang, Rose and the band led us into a medium sized room that was furnished complete with two couches, two chairs, a TV and Rock Band. The Bassist and keyboardist sat in the two chairs and the drummer and Rose sat in one of the couches, while Fang stood behind Rose, his arms crossed.
"So, why is two thirds of JONAS here?" Fang asked, his voice smooth yet emotionless. I opened my mouth but Rose was faster.
"They say they want to talk, offer knowledge and their thanks." She said, sounding bored and annoyed. Fang raised his eyebrows.
"Thanks but no thanks." He said without heat. "VIP stands alone." Déjà vu. VIP nodded in agreement and they all starred at us. But we did not leave.
"Then let's just talk."I answered. Rose sighed, but nodded. The Bassist with short spiked blond hair and blue eyes addressed Rose.
"Hey Rose, I've been meaning to ask. What should I wear for the concert a day after tomorrow?" Rose looked thoughtful and looked him up and down.
"Those tight black leather pants with the chain across the left side and torn on the right, and go shirtless show the world Leon's ink."
Leon nodded and his face brightened. "Oh! I got a new tat as well! Wanna see it?" The band expressed their excitement and Fang leaned over Rose to get a better look. I was starting to feel aggravated from being ignored. I taped my fingers against the couches armrest, but was still ignored. Leon pulled off his shirt and showed off a long dragon that spun around his left arm. The dragon was black and green and spat red and gold fire. Kevin and I were repulsed, but VIP was ecstatic.
"I can't wait to get mine tonight." My head shot up, and looked directly at the speaker. Fang was standing straight again and smirking. Rose turned towards him.
"I know right? I can't wait for mine. I am gonna get our new symbol on my shoulder, but without the words," Fang nodded in approval and their band mates cracked up laughing. They both turned and looked surprised.
"What's so funny, might I ask?" question Fang, his voice full of curiosity.
The Drummer answered. "Dudes, even I know that you both are too much of wimps to get ink." Leon laughed.
"Yeah, normal I don't agree with anything Thunder says, but this time, I do." Leon said.
Their keyboardist joined in. "Let's make it a bet. If you guys get the tattoos then we all will go out on stage the day after tomorrow in poufy pink princess dresses and wear them the entire concert."
"And if they don't Sid?" questioned Thunder.
"Then…" Sid smiled in an evil way. Rose and Fang were unaffected. "Then Rose has to wear said dress." Rose opened her mouth and looked like she would rather drink poison then wear a princess dress. "And Fang will wear all white, baggy pants, no jacket, a shirt, and a pink tie and belt." Fang raised his eyebrows and for the first time, lowered his sunglasses, revealing his shocking storm cloud eyes, which were filled with disbelief.
"Is it a bet?" asked Leon.
Rose smiled. "That it is." They all shook hands and finally turned back to us.
"Sorry about that. We tend to get…" Rose trailed off.
"Competitive," finished Fang. Rose smiled.
"What is it you guys want to talk about?" asked Sid. I opened my mouth and Fang's cell rang. He answered it.
"Talk to me." He listened. "Ok, no prob. Yeah, its cool….Ok…ok…bye." He looked at me and said "Sorry about that. The Boss was just telling us that the critic loved the show and he is very pleased. Good job everyone!" VIP cheered and slapped high fives.
Rose looked at us and I starred right back at her. "Your right Sid, these boys are too clean." Stated Rose.
Fang laughed. "Maybe that's why their brother left, too clean and no action." The band cracked up and cold fury rose in my chest. Kevin gripped my arm in warning. Leon looked at me and said:
"Take it easy guys; it must be hard for them." Rose nodded.
"You're right Leon." She turned towards me. "I am sorry. Normally we don't act like punks, but the concert energy still hasn't worn off yet." Fang nodded.
"Yeah, I am sorry too. I shouldn't have said that. That was uncalled for and rude. Please forgive me?"
Kevin nodded. "We understand about all that. We were worse the night of our first concert. Thunder? That is an interesting name. How did you get it?"
Thunder laughed. "I gave to too myself. My real name is Mike, but Thunder suits me better because I rock harder and louder than thunder ever could."
I crossed my arms, and kept starring at Fang, still trying to find more traces of my little brother in him. Maybe I was wrong about their playing style; hundreds of people could play their instruments like that. Or maybe my brother was just a really good actor. I knew that much was true because when he was pretending to be the ghost of Volunteer Fireman Smith, he almost had me wet myself, and I was in on the plan!
FANG'S POV
Yes, I knew Joe was starring at me, but I ignored him. It wasn't like I didn't know why he was starring at me, but rather, I didn't care. One slip up could cause him to have a bullet in the back of his head. And I did not want that to happen to my brothers, so I ignored their pressured gazes and acted uncaring.
I had to keep it cool and together and I had to become Fang, grow out of Nick. It tore my heart in two to do this, and it torn my two heart fragments to a million pieces when I had to do it to Joe and Kevin's face. I tried so hard not to give myself away because this is a game that I cannot lose, or else I will lose my brothers, as well as my old life.
"Look, Joe, if you have problem with me, just say it, don't stare holes in my head." I said, letting annoyance creep into my voice. Joe blinked and looked at his hands before looking at me again. My whole band was looking at Joe, waiting for his response.
"It's not that I have a problem with you, it's just that you are the exact opposite of who I thought you were." I was surprised by that and took of my sunglasses and put them on top of Devi's…I mean Rose's head. She giggled and I forced a smile onto my face, even though normally, I would never do so. Like I said before, I have to become Fang, I have to let go of Nick.
KEVIN'S POV
I still had a small ray of hope shining that we had found our brother. Yes, Fang was completely different from Nick, and Rose is too girly and not Devi-ish to be Devi. But I just knew that if we got them to sing and play a song that Nick and Devi would come out again. Only music can take away the mask they put over their hearts.
Rose got up and stretched. Leon, Thunder and Sid mimicked her.
"I have an idea. Why don't we play our newest song for the JONAS crew, and if they like it, awesome, and if they don't, so what? Let's have a little more music tonight." VIP ran to get their instruments, while Rose stayed, already holding her guitar and Thunder was already at his drums.
"Joe, Kevin, meet Black Cherry," said Thunder gesturing towards Rose's guitar, "and White Noise." He said pointing to his drums. Fang, Leon and Sid walked in. Sid held a black keyboard and Fang held his gold guitar while Leon held a simple sky blue bass.
"And over there is Mutation, Sid's keyboard, and Titan, Fang's guitar. Leon's is Tear, cause of its shape and color." Thunder said. Joe and I just nodded in response.
"Ok, take it from the top!"
Thunder hit his drum sticks together four times and they were off. Rose started on her guitar and her and Fang switched on and off with the melody. The music blended together nicely and I found myself tapping my toes to the quick beat.
(Full Moon Crazy by Honor Society)
Come on
Yeah
I don't know what you thought
This was gonna be
You're standing there
You're looking good
But I don't wanna see you
The walls are movin' in closer
I head for the door
But you're standing in front of the handle
I can't handle the way that you're smothering me
I don't wanna see you (Oh ho oh)
You're up, you're down
You smile, you frown
You're unpredictable
You bring me too much stress, baby
So put yourself in check
I don't need no drama in my life
You're not that special anyway
In fact, you're gettin' much colder
Actin' bipolar, ruining my day
I don't need no drama in my life
Had enough of you
All the things you put me through
'Cause you're flaky, you're shaky
Need someone to save you
Girl, you're full moon crazy
Crazy
Got to my car
Dropped my keys
You're chasing after me
Then she said, burning red
"You'll be sorry"
You throw my keys at me
And I can't believe
That you had such a crazy reaction
Unattractive, the way that you acted
And now I gotta leave
You kiss, you yell
And the lies that you tell
You got me on my knees
You're willin' in the streets
And I'm beggin' you to leave, baby
I don't need no drama in my life
You're not that special anyway
In fact, you're gettin' much colder
Actin' bipolar
You're ruining my day
I don't need no drama in my life
Had enough of you
All the things you put me through
'Cause you're flaky, you're shaky
Need someone to save you
Girl, you're full moon crazy
Remember when we met
And everything was perfect?
(What happened to that girl?)
If she ever comes back
My heart is always open
The moon's in position
So make your decision
I don't need no drama in my life
You're not that special anyway
In fact, you're gettin' much colder
Actin' bipolar
You're ruining my day
It's time to get over your pride
You're not that special anyway
In fact, you're gettin' much colder
Actin' bipolar
You're ruining my day
I don't need no drama in my life
I've had enough of you
All the things you put me through
'Cause you're flaky, you're shaky
Need someone to save me
You're full moon crazy
You're full moon crazy, baby
I said you're full moon crazy
You're full moon crazy, yeah
Ok, yes, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that these two people were Nick and Devi. This song fit them and would be something they would both sit down and write. And if have watched them both play too many songs to not see the resemblance.
Joe was clapping and I joined in. They nodded at us, a smirk or two growing on their faces. They sat down and we just started talking about random things.
"So, Kevin?" asked Fang. "Do have any idea where your brother might be hiding?" He asked this in a genuinely curious and not at all mean way.
Joe nodded. "We have an idea and we also think he is closer than people believe. But we will give him time to himself, and when he decides to come home, we are not going to judge him, just hug him. After all, that's what brothers are for." I watched Fangs reaction. His fierce grey eyes softened and he opened his mouth to speak when and man walked in the door.
Fang closed his mouth and smiled, as did Rose, Leon, Thunder and Sid. Joe and I turned and we tried super hard to keep the terror off our faces and out of our eyes. This man had dark brown eyes, a handle bar mustache, and a powerful and menacing aura.
"Joe, Kevin, we would like to introduce you to our Boss, the head of VIP." Rose simply stated, her voice had happiness in it, not the expected fear, and Fang was smiling welcomingly to him. Oh, they were good.
The Boss smiled and held out his hands to us. "Sup?" he asked. Joe and I were shocked. He laughed warmly.
"I know, a grown man saying that thing is pretty weird isn't it? So, rumor has it you boys were at the concert, what did you think?"
I overcame my shock a bit to answer in a steady voice. "It was really good. VIP will be number one in no time, even besting us!"
The Boss laughed. "That will be the day. Fang, Rose? I came down to tell you your rides are here. Good luck with the tattoos!"
Rose and Fang smiled, but it did not quiet reach their nervous eyes. They each shook our hands before walking away. Was it just me, or did they both seem reluctant to let go, and that Fang's hand seemed to squeeze mine in a more than friend, maybe a brotherly way? I hoped the Boss didn't notice.
THE BOSS'S POV
"Very nice job to you both. Everything was perfect, except at the end. Don't think I did not notice the abnormality of the hand shakes. Be thankful I am not actually making you get a real tattoo as a punishment. Now, both of you look into their minds and tell me if they suspect."
Fang and Rose looked at each other and they both closed their eyes.
NO POV
Rose looked into Kevin's mind and saw multiple images of animals, like a bunny shaped like a cloud and a lemur eating pudding. But besides that, she felt his uncertainty and his self conflict. She heard him compare Fang and Nick and Rose and herself, and she heard his conclusion.
She pulled out of Kevin's mind, but kept her eyes closed, attempting to control her own turmoil of emotions from bursting from her. She willed back her tears and suppressed her fear. None of that would help them get their real lives back, so why even bother feeling it?
Fang looked into Joe's and was instantly bombarded with a song that Joe had stuck in his head. It was Bounce, and of course, it got caught in Fang's head as well. But beyond the song, he looked into and watched Joe thoughts and emotions swirl. There was doubt, and fear. But there was also hope. Maybe Fang is really Nick, They play exactly the same way, and when he shook my hand, like Nick always did with me, he squeezed it in a brotherly way. I hope with all of my heart that it is him, and that we can save them. And if Fang is Nick, than it is guaranteed that Rose is Devi. Fang listened as the same thing kept on repeating itself.
He left Joe's mind and tried will all of his might to push back his own tears and emotions.
"So, do they suspect?" the Boss whispered. Fang and Devi opened their eyes, the answer clearly showing.
"No. They are ignorant." They both said simultaneously. The Boss's cold and evil laugh echoed around the halls, and it caused Joe and Kevin, who were walking out the door, and to freeze.
Koutai: Here you all go! Until net update!
