Aphrodite, and Damien were laying on Jake's bed when a short teenager with long red hair, and dark clothes walked in. Aphrodite looked up. "Hey Kandi, where were you today?"

Kandi grinned and sat down, "I skipped."

Aphrodite gaped, "You mean to tell me that you have been off having a jolly time, while I was stuck in school?"

Kandi laughed. "Well yeah."

"Way to ditch a friend Kandi." Damien joked.

"Yeah, I know, but oh well. Hey, where is Jake?"

Damien thought for a second. "Um... he went.... somewhere.... "

"Wow Damien, just wow." Aphrodite laughed, "he went to go get us some grub."

"Sweet, I'm hungry."

"Yeah, me too."Aphrodite agreed. She looked at her fourteen year old friend. She met Kandi earlier that year but she became close friends with her within two hours of hanging out with her. That's sort of what happened with most of the group, she didn't know any of them for more then a year, but it seemed like they grew up together. But Jake was the only friend she had from last year. Which meant that he was indeed once popular too, but he stuck with Aphrodite, making him unpopular in the process.

Jake walked into the room and put down three bags of Jack in the Box on the bed. "Eat up." He smiled down at Aphrodite and sat next to her. She smiled back at him and took out her cheeseburger, but she didn't get a chance to eat it though. She just got a text from her mother telling her to 'come home now.' Aphrodite rolled her eyes. Why did her mom try to keep her away from her friends? It wasn't fair. Being with her friends was when she felt almost whole again.

"Aphrodite, are you okay?" Aphrodite was pulled out of her thoughts by Jake's voice.

"Oh. I was just thinking." She replied, never taking her eyes off of her cheeseburger.

"About what?" Kandi asked through a bite of her chicken sandwich.

"Nothing." Aphrodite replied, she looked up at her friends. Everyone was staring at her.

"Come on, you know that you can trust us." Damien stated, while pulling the whole puppy dog face routine.

"Oh all right." Aphrodite frowned. "I'm thinking about moving to California. We all should go."

"What?" Jake asked, serious for a change.

"It would be good for the band." She replied. "I think that we're good enough to take it to the next level. We can make it. I have a good feeling about it."

Kandi frowned, "Aphrodite, I'm fourteen, there's no way that my mom would go with that." She took a big bite of her burger and added with a mouth full, "and plus how would we afford it?"

"Jake, Damien and I have enough money, especially put together... and plus your mom lets you do anything that you want. She'd let you go... she really would... and if we get rich and famous then I could get my chance to meet Tokio Hotel..."

"Of course, Tokio Hotel. You love them way too much. I mean seriously, they're good and all, but come on... you're obsessed." Kandi said taking another bite of her food.

"Oh whatever, you know you love Gustav." Aphrodite shot back.

"True... okay... fine, i'm in." Kandi replied.

"Well I'm not. I have a girlfriend you know. I can't just leave her. I love her, and she loves me." Jake stated. He took a handful of curly fries and stuffed them in his mouth.

"Jake, you know that we can't do this with out you. You're the bassist... and we can't find a new one, it just wouldn't feel right. You could always talk to Tiff, and you can always visit her." Aphrodite pleaded.

"You make a good point, I am a damn good bass player. Plus you guys would suck without me. So, I guess that I'm in." Jake said slowly. Aphrodite smiled, and they all looked at Damien.

"Are you in?" Aphrodite asked.

Damien smiled, "Of course I am. What type of question is that? I wouldn't let my friends go off to Cali without me."

"Yes! We're all in! It's settled. Let's hurry up and practice so we can go home and pack." Aphrodite said, excited.
