CHAPTER 2
Ever since the contract was signed, AVALANCHE had to work extra hard for their first break through single. The song will determine whether AVALNCHE will be given a chance to be under their label to record their album or they will be kicked out.
"You haven't got any idea yet?" Zack was nervous as he looked at the calm-looking Cloud. Cloud closed his eyes as he leaned against the couch. Honestly, he hadn't got any idea for their first single.
"You can't force to get a beautiful song. We have to find inspiration, for the lyric and the music," Vincent said as he picked on his bass strings. Even he was locked up.
Vincent and Cloud composed most of their songs together but Vincent usually managed to compose the music once he knew what kind of lyrics will be written by Cloud.
"It's not point to wait here any longer. We'll have to wait until Cloud finds something," Cid said as he started to put on his jacket. "It's Friday night and I ain't gonna spend it with guys."
Even Vincent started to pack up his stuff and leave with Cid.
"We only have until Monday," Zack was extremely worried if they couldn't compose any song by Monday. As the group leader, he would be held responsible. And being punished by Yuffie would be his worst nightmare.
"And I've told Yuffie we've already started practising," Zack let out his little lie. Cloud was sure that was the main reason Zack was really anxious. He opened his blue eyes and stared at the ceiling, still couldn't get a tune.
"Don't worry, I'll get it before nightfall tomorrow," Cloud said that almost sounded confident. "Really?" Zack eyes beamed. Cloud just nodded as he rose from his seat. "No sweat."
"I'm saved!" Zack was overjoyed and jumped up. Cloud just smirked at his reaction and walked away. Obediently, Zack followed from behind and once at the car park, they went separate ways.
Zack entered his car and gave signal to Cloud as if to say, 'I'm counting on you.' Cloud raised his hand in return and started his Fenrir's engine. As he watched Zack sped off, he let out a sigh and thought, 'I'm dead.'

It was a different story at the bar. Ever since AVALANCHE had stopped performing at the bar, people started to stop visiting the bar and the sale started to slow down and it was back to square one.
Each and every barmaid was being blamed for not attracting customers. Somehow, Tifa felt as if Scarlet was blaming her though she never said it out loud. It was obvious from her actions.
"I don't know how long I will be able to stay here," Tifa murmured under her breath but one of the barmaids, Jess heard her. "Don't worry, we just need to find another live performances, then she'll be out of PMS mood," Jess tried to cheer her up.
"I feel like she's blaming me for everything that had happened," Tifa said softly to make sure no one else heard her. "Everyone feels that. Don't give up so soon. It's hard to find other job these days," Jess replied as she gave Tifa another tray of wet glasses waiting to be dried.
"You sure is patient," Tifa said as she picked up a dry towel and started to dry the glasses before arranging them on the rack.
"I can't let this job go no matter what. My whole family is depending on me," Jess said and it made Tifa admired her more. At least she still has a home. Tifa's only home is the bar. Scarlet provided lodging for the workers and Tifa wouldn't have anywhere to go if she leaves here.
Then, the door was swung open and entered the last person Tifa wanted to see right then. "Welcome sir, please have a seat," Jess greeted the man, Don Corneo. Tifa just remained silent.
Don Corneo looked around the empty and lifeless bar. Then, he turned to the two young women. "Where's Scarlet?" he inquired.
Jess was the last one who saw Scarlet practically screaming her head off when she knew about their sales that night. "I'll go get her." Jess turned and left Tifa on the pervert to call Scarlet.
Don Corneo sat at a table near the counter and eyed the brunette in front of him who seemed to concentrate on her work more than him. "How's the business here lately?" Don Corneo broke the silence.
"Not so good," Tifa replied without looking up. It made him felt as if she was challenging him. "Really?" he said without interest.
Tifa didn't respond. "My offer is still on," he tried to pique Tifa's interest. Tifa lifted her head in wonder. "What offer?" the question came out without her noticing and she wished that she could swallow everything back.
"Be with me and this place will be full house once again," he said and Tifa just sighed. He sure doesn't understand the language she used to speak. "No."
Don Corneo rose from his seat and walked around the room while laughing. He made his way behind the counter and eyes the bottles of wines and glasses that were arranged neatly on the rack.
Tifa felt suspicious when he entered behind the counter but she kept cool. Then, he stopped right behind Tifa and Tifa turned as she felt uncomfortable with the man behind her. "What do you want?" her voice was slightly annoyed as she looked at the stout man.
Don Corneo didn't say anything. Tifa wished Jess would be a little faster to get Scarlet.
"I can give you all the money you need to live throughout your life and you won't have to work anymore. And if it's Scarlet you're worried about, I'm just fooling around with her," he was speaking softly and it made Tifa shivered in disgust.
Tifa crossed her hands in front of her chest and said in determination. "Read my lips and don't make me repeat it again, ever! KEEP YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE ME ALONE," she said one word at a time as if she was talking to a kid.
Don Corneo knew this would be her answer and he didn't let his chance slip. Once he saw she let her guard down, he pounced at her.
Tifa was nearly falling to the ground when the pervert tried to grab her. She used all of her might to fight back but he managed to grasp both of her hands and pinned her between him and the counter.
Tifa found an opening and kick him on his groin and the man weakened for a while. Tifa took the opportunity and tried to make her way from him but he pulled one of her legs. Tifa stumbled and as she fell, she accidentally tripped the tray of glasses with her hands.
In a few seconds, the glasses were scattered on the floor and some of it injured her left arm. She didn't pay attention to her bleeding arm but more to escape from the predator.
She kicked at Don Corneo's hand but he didn't let her go. Instead, he forced himself on top of her and pinned her down. At this rate, Tifa lost her courage and she was scared. Every female would when she saw a man forcing himself on top of her.
She tried to struggle free but her efforts showed off her nervousness. She prayed silently and using the last bit of her strength, she forced her trembling hands to push the man off her.
It was at the exact moment Scarlet and Jess entered the room and saw the scene in front of them. "What the hell are you doing?!" Tifa was so relief when she heard Scarlet's voice. Don Corneo was shocked and Tifa took the chance to free herself from him and sat a few metres away.
Tifa was still shaking from the horror and looked at the blonde woman. Much to her disbelief, the look in Scarlet's eyes was shooting at her as if she was guilty.
"Are you trying to seduce my boyfriend?!" She screamed at Tifa. Didn't she see what just happened? Is she really blind? Her boyfriend had sexually attacked her.
"YOU BITCH! I'll never want to see you face ever again!" Scarlet shouted and she grabbed Tifa's bleeding arm and squeezed it tight. Tifa yelped put in pain but Scarlet ignored her.
"Get out!" She screeched as she pulled Tifa to walk and shoved her out from the bar as the other barmaids could only watch. Once she opened the door, she pushed Tifa down from the steps and Tifa stumbled down and fell onto the ground.
She was in pain and she could hear Scarlet's high pitch voice echoing in the dark street. "Get out from here and don't ever some back! My life has been a hell since you arrived! Now you're trying to steal my boyfriend from me behind my back!"
Tifa gather all her strength and forced herself to her feet. "Shut up," her voice was hoarse. "You will always be in hell and please rot in there. If there's any bitch around here, it would have blond fur with red lips and thick make ups to hide up the wrinkles."
Without waiting for any respond from Scarlet, Tifa turned her heels and walked away with her pain being suppressed for a while. Until Scarlet is out of sight, then she couldn't yell or cry out loud.
Tifa heard Scarlet let out a banshee scream before a loud thud that came from the bar's door.

Tifa just wondered aimlessly around the dark street and even the street thugs looked better than her. Tifa never lifted her head and continued to walk. A few times a car would honk at her because she was blocking the way.
She entered any road she saw and continued to walk. She wondered where she would go. Would she sleep on the street tonight? Or will she sleep under the bridge like a homeless person?
Tifa walked and walked until she couldn't feel her feet any longer. She stopped in front of a normal-looking apartment and recognized it immediately. It was where Cloud lived.
She wouldn't want to disturb him in the middle of the night looking like a banshee that had just lost a child. She saw a small park and made her way to it. She sat on of the swing and suddenly she felt everything pouring back in.
As if on cue, it started to rain as if to reflect the pain Tifa felt. Tifa felt like crying and screaming but will it make any change? She let her mind drift off and the rain soaked her completely.
Not far from there, Cloud had just parked his bike and was a little drenched form the sudden downpour. He was about to made his way back to his unit when he saw a familiar figure sitting in the rain at the park.
Her long and wet dark hair covered her face but he could recognize her even in a sea of humans. The figure seemed to be in a daze and didn't notice he was watching her.
He eyed the figure in question. "What is she doing here?" he said to himself. 'One way to find out,' he thought before dashing out into the rain while making his way towards the brunette.
'I wonder if I could feel asleep like this. I'm too tired to move,' Tifa closed her eyes in an attempt to forget everything. Tifa felt her breath getting heavy from containing all her emotions to herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw someone stopped in front of her. "Tifa?" his voice send a gush of relief waves throughout her system and she looked up.
When Tifa lifted her head after he called her name, he was shocked to see the look in her eyes. He had only see that look only once before this, during her parents' death. Her parents somehow got tangled up with loan sharks when they became a guarantor for a friend and ended up being killed by the brutal loan sharks.
"What happened to you?" Cloud asked but Tifa couldn't form any word to reply. It was as if he was talking in a language she couldn't understand.
That was when Cloud realized it was the wrong question. "Stupid," he scolded himself. "Don't answer me. Come on, let's get you dry off," Cloud held out his gloved hand to her.
Tifa didn't blink her eyes as she looked at her saviour at that time. While she was looking like a banshee that had just finished a marathon, he on the other hand looked like an angel even in the rain. The rain just maximizes his perfect complexion.
It took Tifa a few moments to take his hand as he helped her to get up while limping. He slowly guided her to the car park with words like 'careful, watch out and slowly.' He didn't complain at all.
Once they reached the front door of his unit, Tifa felt weak and nervous all at once. Does Cloud feel like she's a burden for coming to him in the middle of the night? As he unlocked the door, he let her in before closing it back.
"I'll get some clean towels for you," he said before disappearing in one of the room. He came back a few seconds later and gave her a dry towel.
"You go dry yourself in the bathroom and I'll give you some dry clothes," he guided her to a room and opened the door for her. Once he closed the door, she entered the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
She really looked like a banshee and it all thanks to Don Corneo and Scarlet, the destructive couple that would probably made everyone around them miserable.
Then, she began cleaning herself on automaton. She scrubbed her skin hardly that leave red marks and washed her hair and let the warm water cleaned all the dirt she carried with her.
The wound on her arm sting but she contained the pain and washed herself thoroughly so that there was no trace of Scarlet on her skin.
She used the towel to dry herself and when she was out from the bathroom, she saw a pair of pants and a shirt on the bed. The outfit fit her nicely.
She put them on and just sat on the edge of the bed. She waited a few minutes and she heard a knock on the door. Cloud opened the door with slowly. "I've made some hot drinks. Come and join me at the living room."
Tifa just followed what he said like a puppet and took a seat on the couch. Cloud sat next to her and handed Tifa a mug. Tifa took it silently and drank it. Gladly, it had the same effect as Cloud's voice. It soothed her and she took a deep breath.
"Let me cover that. You don't want to get an infection right?" Cloud motioned to the wound on her left arm. Tifa shook her head and suddenly felt like a child. Cloud knew Tifa was still under shock because she hadn't uttered a word since he met her just now.
While Cloud carefully bandaged her arm Tifa took the chance to look at his house this time more in detail. His house was just like every unmarried male she had ever seen. It was a simple house but everything in the house was not in order.
There was some clothes still hanging at the balcony and Tifa could tell the clothes had been there for at least a week. It was a bachelor's house without anything that could indicate the owner had creativity. Overall, it was a nice place to stay.
"Hey Cloud," Tifa's voice was a little hoarse because she hadn't been speaking for a long time. "Hm?" Cloud shifted his eyes to look at her. He could tell she was evaluating the house silently.
"How much did you rent this house per month?" Tifa asked as she got interested to find a place of her own though she didn't have much money in her saving. "About 200 gil, this is a low-cost apartment," Cloud replied before he continued bandaging her arm.
Tifa just nodded while doing some thinking on her own. Maybe she could rent a unit around here. At least it was close to someone she knew. The thought made her feel at ease. Then only she would feel safe if she would ever meet someone like Don Corneo.
The thought of Don Corneo made her shivered and the past event flashed back in her mind. That man was a beast. Tifa could still remember the evil look in his eyes when he hovered above her.
Cloud noticed Tifa suddenly shuddered even though the room was warm. He also saw the scared look across her face and it made him wondered what had happened. Tifa wasn't the type of person that easily gets scared or shocked like the way she is right now.
"So, are you going to tell me what really happened?" Cloud asked, after finished bandaging Tifa's arm. Tifa didn't answer right away. She lowered her head and she let her hair covered her face, as if to hide her from him.
Cloud pursed his lips together and leaned back as he blew out his breath. Tifa noticed his reaction and realized that she was the one who came to him in the middle of the night and troubled him. The least she could do was telling him what happened to her.
"I lost my job," Tifa said without lifting her head. "And all of my belongings. Scarlet threw me out," she added before stopping for a breath.
"Don Corneo?" Cloud asked as if it was something to be expected. "He was Scarlet's boyfriend. She thought I was trying to seduce him behind her back."
"On what basis?" Cloud questioned again. As much as he knew, Tifa hated Don Corneo. Everyone could see that. Tifa remained silent for a while. "He forced himself on me," Tifa said just barely.
Cloud's brows arched as he turned to Tifa. "You mean he tried to rape you?" Cloud corrected her in a high voice. Tifa felt as if she was a deer facing a hungry wolf right then. Cloud quickly got control of himself and calmed his anger.
"That bastard, he'll pay for what he did," Cloud muttered under his breath but Tifa caught his words. "No, don't do anything to him, please," Tifa begged as she turned to see an infuriated Cloud beside her.
Cloud frowned at her, not understanding why she would do that. "I don't want to get involve with him anymore. If you do something to him and he found out about you, you're finished. Especially if he knew you know me," Tifa explained eagerly so that Cloud wouldn't try anything that might jeopardize himself.
Cloud just let his stern expression on his face remained for a while as he thought about it. He knew she was right and he felt hopeless knowing that he couldn't do anything about it. Cloud decided to change the topic.
"Why are you asking about my apartment?" Cloud asked though he got the hint she wanted to rent a unit here. "I'm looking for a place, but I don't have much in my account. I think the price here is quite okay," Tifa explained.
Cloud just nodded before getting up from the couch. "You can stay here," he offered. Tifa looked up at him. "It's safer and much cheaper this way."
"But I think I should pay you monthly. I don't wanna be a freeloader," Tifa replied as she felt a little glad. "I can't offer much but I'll find a work tomorrow."
Cloud crossed his arms and shook his head, this girl is so persistent. All he wanted to do is help her. After all, before he left Nibelheim to look for a job in Edge, she made him promised her to save her whenever she's in bind.
"I don't want your money, Tifa. We've known each other since we were in cradles. I just want to help," Cloud said in a low voice. Tifa felt a little bit guilty. She pressed her lips together and thought for a moment.
"Fine then, but I'll still find a work tomorrow," she announced. Cloud just nodded in please but said, "Just don't work in a bar. He'll find you."
Tifa just shrugged but silently, she agreed with him. "And Cloud, thanks."

After Tifa retired to "her room", Cloud realised he needed to do one more thing. He took out his cell phone and dialled a number. He waited for a few seconds and a rough voice rang in his ears. "Hey Barret, are you feeling like letting off some steam tonight?"
Well, Tifa said she didn't want him to get involved with Don Corneo but she never said any of their friends couldn't. "Whadda ya have in mind Cloud?" Barret was curios. He was feeling a little steamy after all.
"Well, you know Don Corneo?" Cloud asked and the rest of the conversation remained a secret.
Cloud talked to Barret for about 10 minutes before he felt satisfied and hung up the phone. He blew out a contented sigh and placed his cell phone on the coffee table.
He walked slowly to Tifa's room and opened the door as silent as he could. He saw she had already fallen asleep with a peaceful look on her face.
Cloud had been secretly having a crush on her ever since they were in Nibelheim. There were a lot of boys liked Tifa too but Tifa seemed to be ignorant about it. Whenever Tifa's circle of friends would tease Cloud, she would stand up for him.
Cloud and his mother were always looked down by the villagers because his father left them. Cloud never knew why his father did it and he never asked his mother about it. His mother would break down if Cloud mentioned anything about his father.
Only Tifa's family was nice towards them and Tifa was the only one who always played with him and she treated him as a normal person. That was one of the reason Cloud enjoyed her company. His mind drifted off to a memory he had as a child.
"Come on, we're going to select out team members," Johnny shouted as every kids gathered all around him. It was the annual Nibelheim's celebration and there will be a lot of interesting activities will be held out.
For the kids, there were games and sports for them to compete and the winner will be given a free supply of groceries for a month. The most awaited event is the relay race because usually the winner of the event will get the highest mark and it can help the team to win greatly.
Cloud just watched from afar the kids were talking and discussing on how to form a team and he saw Tifa was being asked by everyone to be their team mate. She wasn't a sprinter but she could run fast.
"Look, it's Cloud. What is he doing here?" one of the girl pointed to his direction. Everyone turned silent at once. Cloud suddenly felt he doesn't belong there and being outcast.
He was about to retreat when he heard Tifa calling him, "Cloud! You came." She ran towards the confused blonde. When she reached him, she took his hand while smiling. Cloud felt his cheeks burning as he looked at the happy-looking Tifa.
"Come on," she said as she pulled him to follow her. "Ah..." Cloud almost stumbled as he followed her while every eye was fixed on them.
"Let's form the team now. Everyone's here already," Tifa announced and suddenly it was noisy again. Cloud looked at her in amaze. She really has a charm with people.
After a while...
Cloud ended up in a different group with Tifa and he felt awkward with the other 3 kids. "No worry Cloud. We'll win for sure," one of the boys said to him.
"Though I can't run fast, but I'll sure will just for Tifa," a fat boy said with enthusiasm. Cloud raised his blond brows in question. It was the girl who told him the deal. "The boys are planning that whoever wins will get to kiss Tifa during the prize-giving ceremony."
Cloud's jaw dropped opened. "Does Tifa know about this?" Cloud asked in respond. The girl shook her head. Cloud wasn't sure how Tifa would react if that really happened. He could feel that Tifa won't be too pleased about it, or maybe she wouldn't mind. Which one is it?
"Let's go practice, we can't lose to them," the thin boy said while looking at Johnny's team direction. "Yeah, let's go!" the girl shouted and they started to warm up.
It was the most crowded time of the year. Every single villager went to the field to support their children. Cloud was the last person for his team and he had to go against Tifa. She smiled at him and said, "I won't go easy on you."
Cloud just smirked back at her remarks. She stretched herself and got into position. Cloud looked back to see his team mates and raised his hand in a ready gesture. The referee, also the mayor of the town raised the flag in his hand and readied to blow his whistle.
Cloud watched from a distance as the referee brought down the flag as he blew his whistle loudly. In a second, the field was deafened by screams and cheers for the relay race. "Hurry up!" Cloud could hear Tifa cheering for her team mates.
Cloud just watched as the girl in his team ran as fast as she could to leave behind 4 other people behind her. 'Quite fast for a girl.'
She ran as once she reached the fat boy, she passed the baton and the fat boy continues the race. "Cloud!" he heard his mother's voice called him. Cloud looked around the Cloud and saw his mother's face among the cheering crowd waving at him.
He waved back and he saw his mother mouthed, "All the best." He just nodded with a small smile and gets readied once he saw the thin boy started to run. He was head to head with the second person and Cloud could tell he was sprinting like hell.
"Faster!" Tifa was jumping from where she was standing and seeing her like that made her team mate ran even faster. He managed to leave behind Cloud's team mate.
"Just a little bit more," Tifa said and the boy rushed towards her as he gave out the baton to Tifa. Just a few moment before the baton reached her hand, Tifa smirked to Cloud, "Catch ya later Cloud." And with that, she dashed away leaving behind a provoked Cloud.
Cloud prepared himself and once he got hold of the baton, he ran on top of his speed and he ran like he was chasing a chocobo. He was a boy and he was confident that he can catch up with Tifa who was just a few metres from him.
Cloud set his eyes while smiling as her figure became closer to him. It was nearing the end of the track and as if on cue, Tifa turned her head slightly when she heard the crowd grew louder. Someone was catching up with her.
When Tifa saw the blonde boy behind her, she forced herself to run even faster though she was panting. Just as Cloud was about to overtake Tifa, he quickly grabbed Tifa's free hand and ran along with her. Tifa was a little shocked but she just followed him.
They ran together until they reached the end of the track and won the race hand in hand. It was a good feeling for Cloud, to win together with Tifa. Both of them were catching up their breath and everyone was cheering even more loudly.
"We win!" Tifa was excited as she turned to Cloud. "Yeah," Cloud responded while smiling. The question that he thought of earlier rang in his head once again. Will she really be angry? Well, one way to find out.
Tifa was waving at her father who was giving her a thumb-up when she suddenly felt Cloud pulled her to face him. In a quick movement, the taller boy placed his lips on hers and she could feel her heart exploded.
Her eyes were huge and she was thunderstruck as she felt as if she was soaring in the sky. Cloud's soft lips pressed on hers right in front of everyone and she felt as if they were on display. He pulled back as he let her hand go and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
'Oh my gosh! I just had my first kiss!' Tifa's face was flushing from the shyness and the race. Cloud blushed as he never thought he would really do it, not in front of everyone and not in front of Tifa's father or worse, his mother.
'I'm dead,' he thought as he saw his mother was laughing with all of the adults when they saw the scene. Tifa was still in a shocked state when he looked at her. Then, he felt someone ruffled with his head and when he looked up, it was Tifa's father.
He was laughing, "Such a daring boy you have become Cloud. You've really grown up." He continued to laugh when he saw his daughter's reaction.
"Oh my, you're still in shock dear. Poor Tifa," Tifa felt Cloud's mother pulled her into a motherly embrace but she still couldn't avert her eyes from Cloud. "That was my first kiss," she stated. Cloud's mother chuckled as she brushed Tifa's hair.
"Wait till I get my hands on you Cloud!" Tifa suddenly said and on instinct, Cloud made a run this time for his life. Tifa chased him from behind as the crowd continued to laugh at the two actions.
"And I got all that on record," the local store owner said as he snapped the pictures on the blonde boy being chased by a brunette girl.
The after-effect of the incident wasn't so nice. The local boys became more violent with him and he became a teasing object of the girls.
Tifa didn't speak to him for two days and when he came by to her house to apologize, his father told him, and she was too shy to face him. Nevertheless, he still allow him to meet her and they made up.
And until today, it became a sensitive issue and Tifa will get extremely upset if anyone mentioned about the incident. It was fun for Cloud to watch her that way.
Cloud watched her sleep for a little while. Suddenly, he got a smooth rhythm playing in his head. He hummed slowly to let his ears listened to the rhythm. He smiled a little as he got something to start for their new single.
He quickly closed the door and entered a room that was filled with musical instruments. It was the room the AVALANCHE used for practising. There were two electric guitars, a bass, a set of drums, a piano, which he rarely used and a classic guitar.
Cloud took a pen and started to write the lyrics that was flooding his mind.
Kisetsu wa iro wo kaete ikudo megurou to mo…
The seasons will go around many times changing colours
XXX
The next morning when Tifa woke up, she felt a little better than she had all night. She went out from her room and saw that Cloud was not in the house anymore. She saw a note was placed at her door.
"Just eat anything in the fridge. I'm meeting the guys."
-Cloud-
Tifa went to the refrigerator and opened it. She raised her brows when she saw the contents. All she could see was Amino-D drinks and junk foods. "He survived with these? Impressive!" Tifa said sarcastically before closing back the door.
"Now, it's time for him to learn the name of vegetables," Tifa announced to herself and check her purse. She still got some gil left and it was more than enough to buy something for her to cook.
"I know I can depend on you Cloud!" Zack patted Cloud's back as he looked at the new song Cloud has composed. "Don't touch me," Cloud warned him and he quickly removed his hands away from him.
Then, Cloud turned to Vincent. "I need you to work on the melody. It doesn't sound right. It didn't fit the lyrics," Cloud explained as he handed Vincent the lyrics and the notes. At just a glance Vincent could tell what was wrong.
"If you feel the lyrics, it doesn't suit for the melody you composed, too fast-paced. It should have something like..." Vincent stopped and picked on the guitar strings. Cloud listened a little while nodding. 'Yeah, that was how it felt,' he thought.
Mentally, he felt the music coming to him as if the music knew him. Cloud closed his eyes and followed Vincent's tune. "Jojoushi," he murmured without realizing it.
"Huh? What did you say?" Cid turned to face Cloud. "Jojoushi- The Poetic Lyric, the name for the song," Cloud decided as looked up at his band mates. They nodded in agreement.
"Now let's practise!" Zack announced and picked up his guitar.
