And I had something else to say but I forgot... sorry.

ON WITH LA STORY!


6. I'm Having Trouble Thinking of a Name

p.s. This is my longest one!

Soundtrack- This is For Real; Motion City Soundtrack

Oh. My. Popping. Pop-tarts. This is so awkward.

Standing in front of me was Alice and Emmett singing and dancing to Umbrella by Rihanna. Yes, umbrellas and all. Like I said, unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Did I mention Emmett is a worse singer than Jasper (A/n; I don't know if I've already said this, but Jasper can't carry a tune in a bucket to save his life)?

"BABY CAUSE in the dark, ya can't see shiny cars! And that's when ya need meh then! With you I"ll always share... BECAUSE!"

They joined in unison. "When the sun shines we'll shine together! Told you I'll be here forever, said I'll always be ya friend," at that time the lyrics were split like this;

Alice- "Took an oath I'ma stick it out to the end!"

Emmett (who was, dare I say, SLIGHTLY different...)- "TOOK A COOKIE FROM THE JAR AND IT WAS REALLY STICKY LIKE HONEY... AND STUCK TO ME IN THE END!"

Rosalie jumped up from the bed and started whacking him again. "How dare you ruin that song! I love that song!", she screamed.

"Yes- OW!- I'm only too- ow- aware of that- ow- fact- OW! STOP IT, WOMAN! How do you expect us to maintain a healthy relationship if you continue to ABUSE me?", he asked incredilously, putting a hand over his heart. Then he saw Rosalie's face. "Oh, Rosie you know I didn't mean that! I'm sorry, baby, please forgive me!"

Rosalie smiled. "Of course." She reached over and kissed him on the cheek.

I pretended to gag and then realized I was supposed to be trying to keep the attention off of me. Way to go, two points for Bella! Alice whipped her head around and looked at me. "Oh, BELLA! You look amazing! I knew I chose the right outfit! Right, guys!?" They all nodded.

"Oh, haha you guys are funny! Halarious. See, I'm laughing. Ha. Please forgive my false tone of sarcasm. Seriously, guys. You don't have to lie. I look like an out dated candy cane and you know it," I huffed. Alice's eyes got extremely wide.

"WHAT?! I swear Bella if you say that again you'll regret it!" I don't know, something about her intense dagger (but oh, so harmless) death glare just said maybe I better just get this over with.

"Yeah, okay, Alice. I've known you for what? Two hours? And you've already got me into clothing I wouldn't let anyone else get me into. Shows how stable I am..."

Alice nodded and took my hand and lead me to the door, the others following. "So, this is a foam party, which mean obviously we're going to get wet, so try your best not to get shocked."

"Alice, why would we get shocked?"

"Because, silly, you have to go onstage!"

"AND DO WHAT?!" I looked at Alice, who had a guilty smile on her face.

"Um, Bella, have I ever told you just how much I love your handwriting? It's so-"

"Alice, you've never seen my handwriting, besides, it looks like chicken scratch. Now, please answer the question!"

"Okay, so maybe this is actually a concert and not a party, and I may have set it up so we're performing tonight and not paying to get in, instead of paying to get in and not performing. I kind of knew you'd be here and I thought it would be a nice welcome gift. That's why we're wearing these outfits. And have I told you lately that you look so nice in heels?" She smiled sheepishly.

I took in a deep breath. "And, pray tell, what might we be doing onstage tonight?" I clenched my teeth.

"Oh, just singing. And dancing. And playing instruments. Can you play anything?"

"Well, kind of. My mom taught me the piano, my dad taught me the guitar, and my ex- boyfriend Lucas convinced me to learn the drums... but that's all (A/n: That's for you, Haley!). And, for your information, I can't dance. At all. And I don't sing."

"And that's why you have us. Don't worry, we'll practice before we go onstage. The concert doesn't start for at least two more hours."

I sighed. "I cannot believe I'm giving in. Let me call Jasper."

Alice perked up. "Jasper? Who's Jasper?"

"Oh, he's my pessimist of a brother. You wouldn't like him."

"I'll be the judge of that..."

I dialed his number on my LG Dare my dad got me as a goodbye present and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?", he said in a scared voice.

"Relax, Jazz. It's just me. What's up?"

"Oh, nothing much. I'm just stuck in a dorm house with a few MENTALS! Save me!"

I laughed. "It's not just you, trust me. So, do you like them?"

"Uh, right now, it's hard to tell. There's Tyler, Eric, Mike, Lauren, Jessica, Tanya, and Victoria. They've shoved me into party clothes and say they're taking me to a concert in a few hours. I'm scared. Help!"

"Um, okay. How would you like to come to a concert with me and my new friends?"

"Sure, that's better than these animals. Do you think I could sleep on your couch, too?"

I laughed. "We'll figure something out. I'm coming to your house to pick you up. Be ther in five. K?"

"Yeah... HURRY!" He halfway screamed and hung up the phone.

I turned to my friends, who staring at me like I had just lost my cookies (A/n: For those of you who haven't heard that phrase, it means you've gone crazy). "Oh, uh, Jazzy's kinda scared of his dorm mates. We have to go get him."

"Can he play anything? Or dance? Or sing, for that matter...", asked Rosalie.

"Well, he can't sing worth a penny in a haystack, he breaks dances, and his friend Damon taught him how to work a mixer, if that counts?"

"Oh my gosh that totally counts! Nobody at this school mixes! Ach! He's a lifesaver."

"Yes, but we have to rescue the minty candy before anyone else can eat him!" Emmett said.

We walked out and practically ran to Jasper's dorm and knocked on the door. Jasper answered, looking a bit flushed. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Let's go before they try to stop u-"

"Hey, Jasper, where you going? We're going to a concert, remember?", a male voice said.

"Oh, uh, well, you see-"

"We were just taking him to a better concert, actually," Alice sneered.

A blond kid came to the door and looked like he was about to say something to Alice, but then he saw me and smiled. Hey, baby, how you doin'? I'd like to get me some o-"

"MIKE! I'm sure Bella appreciates your raging teenage hormones, but we really have to go," Alice said, gripping Jasper's arm.

"Fine, midget."

"Airhead."

"Pixie stick."

"Fig Newton."

He actually snorted. "That one's new."

"Unlike you're sense of fashion!" She huffed and walked away, leaving a group of us laughing at Mike.

"Oh yeah? Well, uh, shut up!"

"Ah, see you haven't lost your touch, Figgy!" Emmett laughed. We all walked away, leaving a dumbfounded Mike with a new nickname behind.


"No! Nonono! That's just not how it's done!"

Alice was screaming directions at us. We were learning all of the songs and dances before the show, giving us just two hours to learn everything for four hours. Impossible, right? You should meet Alice sometime...

"Alice! Can I talk to you for just a sec?"

"No no, not now. We're rehearsing. Talk to me before we go onstage."

"Ugh! Alice, you owe me."

"Oh, trust me, you'll love it!"

She had it set up that first all of us would play at the same time. Rose did base, Alice was on drums (for a pixie she can really bang away at those), Emmett on lead guitar, Jasper working his magic on the mixers, and me doing the piano and singing at the same time. I guess Alice shoved it in her head that I was some singing prodigy, and, I quote, hadhadhad to sing lead vocals. Angela, on the other hand, was to be the announcer. Psh. Lucky.

After the first performance, we would each take turns doing different things. Since I was the only one who couldn't dance, I was to do the music while they danced. Emmett and Rose had a duet together, Alice wanted me and Jasper to have a duet but I think it was made clear that was a no go after we shoved each other off the stage, so I told her she should do one with him, which she happily oblidged to. That left me and a shy Angela, whom I told her it was okay, I could go without a stupid duet, to which Alice responded that I should learn the song anyway, just in case.

Before I knew it we were going to be on in fifteen minutes. Alice shoved some honey crap in all of our faces for our voices (except Jasper, we verified the fact he couldn't sing and decided his duet would be dancing instead of singing), and Emmett tried to use it as a facial, but Rosalie proceded to slap him, and he stoped and just drank it.

And then Angela went onstage.

"Hey, guys, how you doing tonight?" The audience, of whom I hadn't been paying attention to, had very large numbers. They all cheered in some form or another. "Tonight, live, we have a new band, duets, singles, and then more of the band, all anounced by me, your very trusty (A/n: Haha I thought trusty was a funny word) announcer! So, before I get carried away and start rambling, please welcome, Six Reasons to Quit!

Six Reasons to Quit? Who were they? I did not think we were working our asses off just to have another band in our place! This is so-

"Bella. We're going onstage, you come out when I tap the bottom drum, okay?" Alice said to me.

"Oh, that's us?"

"DUH!"

"Okay!"

She ran out to her drum set and waited for the crowd to get silent. Then she picked up her drumsticks and banged on the cymbol three times, a signal for Jasper to start his mixer, and the rest of the band soon after. I kept my eyes on the bottom drum, waiting for alice to tap the thing. I was getting anxious and nervous. I mean, what if I fall offstage? What if I trip onstage? At least if I fell I could make it look like a stage dive or something!

I began pacing like this until I saw Alice quickly tap her foot on the side of the drum. My eyes widened and I thought, Oh, shnickey. I'm going to die.

I took a deep breath and guided myself onstage, my mind not noticing the fact that the crowd got considerably as I walked to the piano. I knew I would be singing in aproximately five second, so I started playing and mentally prepared myself. (A/n: For the sake of I'm Not About To Get You Any More Bored Than You Already Are, this is the only song I'm going to write out all the lyrics. I might put in snippets of others, though. And keep in mind that I write all of my own songs, and if I put one that isn't, I'll make sure everyone's aware. By the way, this song is called Immortal. I wrote it before I even read these books, and I was flipping through my journal and was like, Whoa. Sweet... but yeah it was also only written by me when I was 9, so forgive me if it gets childish)

(I) You wanna know

What it feels like

To be left to fend for

You wanna know

How it feels to

Be left with

(C) The aching sorrow running through your veins

Crying ang helpless making you insane

The voices move on

But screaming out in pain!

(V1) Heartbroken

You mortal being

But that's what happens

When your human

Only human

Unspoken

What am I seeing?

I guess you "mortals"

Have your feelings

Stupid feelings

(PC1) Live your life, they always say

Live and breathe, yeah it's okay

All these people don't know their place

But keeping up can be a damn hard game

(C) Just like the aching sorrow running through your veins

Crying and helpless making you insane

The voices move on

But screaming out in pain!

(V2) Remember

You thought you saved me

You didn't have to

There'd only be pain

Meaningless pain

Surrender

All life's meaning

Give all of it up

To be everliving

Keep on giving

(PC2) Come on over here let me take your soul

You'll live on, just not that whole

Make a choice your running out of time

What would you give to be alive?

(C) The aching sorrow, running through your veins

Crying and helpless, making you insane

The voices move on

But screaming out in pain!

(A/n: This next part is rapping, so we now present our rapper guest star...

ROSE! Mwahaha. Betcha didn't think she could rap, did'ja?)

(B) Oh, great this is just what I need

Lying on the floor bein left here to bleed

I said someone come and save me, Oh, I forgot!

It's no use... maybe I'll sit here and rot

What about you? You want a life like this?

Be like me, well be my guess

I could use a little company down in the flames

Down Hell, you'll get over the pain

Make a dicision, I'm waiting here

Oops! Time is up, welcome to fear...

(A/n: Now we make the singing switch back to Bella)

(C) We got the aching sorrow, running through your veins

Crying and helpless, making you insane

The voices move on

But screaming out in pain!

The last note I almost collapsed on. That is one fast song.

They cheered, I smiled and blushed, the usual. We all scrambled offstage except for Rose and Emmett, who were doing they're duets. They chose to do a love song (No, really! For real? No! GASPETH!) called It All Works Out (A/n: Again mine!! This is just the PC and C)

(PC) Rose- But a wise man once told me

Nothing's gone in your dreams

Emmett- You said everything's what I need

And everythings inside a friend called me

(C) Both- 'Cause every now and then,

E- I wanna look away

R- But then I see your face

And I can't help but to wonder

E- If trusting you is right

B- If we can stand this fight

But together we are strong

R- As one we can defend

E- No matter how dark the hardships

B- It all works out in the end

Once they were done, Alice and Jasper got back onstage while they were getting off. Since they were dancing, I would be singing they're songs for them. They were breaking and doing ballet at the same time, and I hadn't seen them practicing this one, and I was curious to see how this one turned out.

I started the song (A/n: Copyright of Toastey! It's about absinense- I have no idea how to spell that- so don't think I'm some freaky perv or anything. This is just the first verse.). It was called True Love.

Well you're just a friend, but I'm just a fool,

We know we're pretend, alone in your room

You turn out the lights as I close the door

There's nowhere to hide, yet we're searching for more

I'm closing my eyes... the darkness won't help

I'm screaming inside

I'm losing myself

Soon it was over, and many times I had to keep myself from laughing as Jasper (quite flawlessly, I might say) did ballet and little Alice popped and locked. I knew that my solo was next, so I went to center stage, and waited for them to leave the stage. Jasper left, mouthing good luck, and as he was leaving Alice ran up to the michrophone. I looked over at her questioningly, and she leaned over and said in my ear, "Trust me, you'll love me for it later. Remember the duet I told you to learn?" I nodded warily. "You're about to use it."

Before I could say anything, she turned back to the audience and smiled. "So, who wants to do a duet with the new girl?" Before the shock even had time to kick in, all of the guys hands shot up in the air.

My eyes widened, and I started to turn around and walk away backstage, but Alice grabbed my arm.

"So many choices, but Bella isn't so rude to choose her partner, so, we're going to have a contest. Who ever wins gets to duet woth Bella!"


Yeah, so, that was a long one. Hope it wasn't too much of a cliffy...

And guess what? I put Lucas and Damon in there!

Questionaters!

1. Who should be the winner?

2. Should they form an actual band?

3. What should the contest/challenge be?

4. Should Damon and/or Lucas show up in the story (as in make an appearance, not just a mention)?

5. Can Jasper move in with them? What guy should they kick out?

Check out my poll!

Oh, look, there's a little blueish purple peice of candy at the bottom of the screen! Grab it with the mouse and see what happens!
