AHH! I know it's been a while since I updated, but here's chapter 5! And yeah, I changed the name, I thought it was kinda stupid. Enjoy! :)

Asher took a dramatic pause. "Well, come out with it man!" said Allora. "I think we should start a band!"

I felt my face light up. Another excuse to get out of the house? I'm in. "That's a great idea…minus the fact we don't play instruments." said Casey.

I glanced at Allora, who frowned. "Yeah, Ash, that's a minor problem." "I know you guys might have musical talent now, but-"Asher parked, and turned to face me.

"Do you play anything?" I held up my calloused fingers. "Guitar and bass." He gave a wide smile, which gave me butterflies. Wait, what? I just met him today!

"Man, there's got to be something wrong with you somewhere!" "Maybe…maybe not." Allora smirked, and I gave her look that said, "What the heck are you thinking about?"

She just grinned harder. Casey, however, didn't look very happy. Asher was either ignoring all this, or somehow didn't notice, because he just got out of the car and headed towards a teal building that smelled good, even from outside.

We followed, and stepped inside. The lights were dim, the walls were painted cool colors, and quiet indie drifted out of the speakers. It was practically heaven. A girl, who looked not much older than us waved as we walked in. "Hi guys!" "Hey Jojo!" Everyone chimed. Her eyes fell on me.

"And who is this?" Asher jumped in. "This is Aeytru. She's-"New." I finished. "Cool! Where are you from?" "Los Angeles." "Whoa! I've always wanted to go there! It looks fabulous." "It was!" Jojo led us to an awesome booth and we sat.

"So what would Miss L.A. and her buddies like to drink?" "My usual." said Allora. "Mine too." "Mine three." Jojo quickly wrote the orders down. I blinked.

I guess they come here a lot. Allora noticed my blank expression, and came to the rescue. "Get Aey a Melting Autumn, will you?"

Jojo nodded, smiled, and left to make the drinks. "That better be good." I said. "Everything is good here, I promise! This is Jojo's Fantasy!" I gave a skeptical look.

"You'll see! Anyways, Ash, would you care to elaborate on the band plan?" "Oh yeah! I was thinking, you could drum, I could sing, Casey could play bass, and now that Aeytru's here, we have a guitarist!" Casey was frowning.

"You've been awfully quiet, Case." Allora said. "Ash, why am I the bassist? I don't even have a bass." "But you haven't touched the guitar you have. I figure the guitarist should have some experience."

He looked at me. I suppose he assumed I had some skill. "Umm, yeah, I'm pretty good I guess. Griff doesn't scream or anything when I play."

Jojo came back. "Here you go, guys!" We cheered. The drinks looked AMAZING. "So Allora, you have a drum set?" "Yup. It's my big brother's, but he's at college, so he won't mind if I use it. I hope."

"Sweet. Color?" "Cherry red. And it is delicious." "Tasty tasty!" We laughed, and Asher smiled at our randomness. He glanced at Casey, and she still seemed unhappy.

"What's wrong, Casey?" Allora asked. She glared, nodded her head slightly in my direction, then got up from the table and headed towards the bathrooms.

I couldn't hold back my thoughts anymore. "Why does she hate me?!" I asked. "I think Allo knows." Asher said. Allora bit her lip.

"I'm not supposed to tell." "Since when does that stop you?" "Okay fine! Casey likes you!" Allora clapped her hands over her mouth. "What?" "And you know she's possessive!" Silence.

I fidgeted. Well, this was awkward. "Umm…I don't want to get between anything, if that's what's going on…" Asher gave me a soft, reassuring smile. "You're not."

We were done with our drinks, so we got up, paid the tab, and waited outside for Casey. After she came, we drove back to my house, Allora waved goodbye, and me and Asher climbed over my fence, into my backyard.

"That was fun." I said. "And the coffee?" "That was magical." "That's Jojo's for you." He looked at his feet.

"Look, about Casey…don't worry about it." "If she's gonna be all mad every time I'm with you guys, I don't want to cause this much trouble."

"I'll talk with her. It's alright." "Okay." I started to climb up the tree. "Thank you." "You're very welcome."

I got to the top, and we waved at each other. "G'night!" He shouted up. I put my finger to my lips, and he smiled. "G'night." He said again, whispering this time. "'Night." I went into my room, and flopped on my bed. Maybe Seattle wasn't so bad after all.

Yay! Okay, so I finally added band stuff and other drama. Good? Bad? Let me know!
