Chapter Five – Of Interviews and Parties
"You may have heard the hit sensation from Australia and the UK You have seen their concerts in life or on the internet, you may have heard their music. But they're here today. Give a warm welcome to DEFly, McFly and the DarkElements!" Maury Povich called and clapped along with the audience as the two bands walked out onstage.
"Good morning" Sydney said politely as they settled down onto the couches on stage.
"Thanks for coming" Maury said as he sat down across from them.
"Thank you for having us" Tom replied.
"Now, DarkElements and McFly I bet a lot of us are wondering how your two bands got together start making music and become really famous. How did that happen?" Maury asked.
"Well its actually thanks to Julius Jackson, the Jacksons' brother" Danny said and laughed when some of the girls in the audience screamed. "See, he was studying abroad when he bumped into us and then he told us about his siblings and it all kind of snowballed from there."
"What do you guys think about this?" Maury asked, directing the question towards the Jacksons, Riley took it upon herself to answer.
"We think its great." She said. "It's a great way for us to get to know what style of songs they play. Like we play a lot of different verities of songs, and when McFly wants to play the songs with us, they get to learn a new genre to try playing. And we learn a lot from them about how to deal with fans, how to write songs, things like that."
"Even though we've been a band for probably longer then they have, I mean when we started we've been too young to do anything, so McFly can tells us how to deal with some things, and we can help them deal with others, it's a win-win situation." Rhuben added.
"Are there any new songs coming in?" Maury asked.
"Yes, actually" Dougie spoke up. "Currently, all of us are contributing to a song that Sydney originally started, its called 'Rain'. And now Riley and I are working on a song too."
"Do you have a name for us?" Maury asked. Dougie looked over at Riley and the two laughed, thinking about how many times they had messed up and how frustrated they got when trying to write the song.
"Not yet, but we're working on it." Dougie replied.
"Amongst other things" Noah muttered, causing Patrick, Sydney, and Rhuben to laugh and Riley lightly punched their arms.
"What we can tell you is that this weekend we're going to do a concert in Central Park. And later next month we're going to go to Australia, so the Jacksons can go visit their friends, and then we're going to go back to England so we can see our families. We may be able to squeeze in some concerts there." Tom added.
"And I'm sure they're be tops" Danny added and at the same time McFly and the DarkElements gave two thumbs up and grinned at the camera, causing the audience to laugh.
"As a surprise for all of you viewers today, they're going to be joint performing 5 Colors in her hair. Give it up for DEFly everybody!" Maury said and backed up as the stage crew brought microphones and guitars and the drums out onto the stage.
(A/N: When its McFly singing, obviously Harry isn't. And I'm going to abbreviate DarkElements by putting DE.)
McFly: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
DE: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
DEFly: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
Danny/Noah: She's got a lip ring and five colours in her hair
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears
Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear
But she don't care
DEFly: Everybody wants to know her name
I threw a house party and she came
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
Tom/Patrick: She's just a loner with a sexy attitude
I'd like to phone her cos she puts me in the mood
The rumour's spreading round that she cooks in the nude
But she don't care, she don't care
Patrick/Noah/Sydney: (whoa)
DEFly: Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
Sydney: She was all I thought about
The girl I couldn't live without
But then she went insane
She couldn't take the fame
She said I was to blame
Tom: She'd had enough
And shaved five colours off
And now she's just a weirdo with no name
DEFly: Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she
That weirdo with five colours in her hair
Riley/Rhuben: 1, 2, 3, 4
DEFly: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, dooo
Doooo
"Who was the idiot that brought all of the beer here?" Riley grumbled to herself as she yanked beer bottle after beer bottle out of people's hands and dumped it down the sink and tossed the glass bottles into the recycling bin.
"Hey, you three need to go upstairs!" She called to her brothers over the loud pulsing music, who was watching people drink and dance.
"No problem" Noah replied, and grabbed Patrick's wrist, who grabbed Sydney's and the three headed towards the stairs.
"Wait a second, have you guys seen Tom?" Riley shouted.
"Yeah, he's in the dining room" Sydney replied and the three boys ran upstairs. Riley kicked a beer bottle out of her way and stormed into the dining room where Tom and Charlie Simpson and James Bourne from Busted where sitting at the piano and singing drunkenly.
"Tom!" she cried, slapping his shoulder. Tom turned and laughed as he waved at her as if he was underwater; it was obvious that he was completely drunk.
"Hey Ri-Ri, what's up?" he asked.
"Tom, who brought in all of this beer, you don't know all of these people do you?" Riley demanded. Tom shrugged and burst out laughing. Danny and Harry, who were also intoxicated, climbed up on top of the piano and started to sing loudly and off-key.
Growling in disgust, Riley went up the stairs to check on her brothers. She crashed into Dougie as he came up the stairs. "Oh, sorry Dougs."
"It's ok" he replied after a minute, blinking rapidly. "Are you ok?" he asked, looking at her face. Riley rolled her eyes.
"I just want to rip Tom's head off."
"Let's go to my room, we can talk" Dougie said, taking her hand, and he walked up the stairs, pulling Riley after him. She sat down on his bed with a heavy sigh. "So, what did he do to make you so mad?"
"He invited people who brought beer and stuff." Riley replied. "And now I have to make sure that no one hurts them or my brothers. I'm not great with beer around, for obvious reasons."
"Wow, he really is an idiot" Dougie laughed and looked at her, cocking his head to the side so his hair fell into his face. "You know, you look really pretty tonight."
"Seriously?" Riley muttered and blushed, still not used to the compliments from her boyfriend.
"Yeah, you always look pretty to me" Dougie said and lifted her head until she was looking at him and he gave a boyish smile. "And you always will."
He leaned forward and moved his mouth over hers, moving his hands to her waist. Riley kissed him back and ran her fingers though his hair. Smiling, Dougie kissed Riley again and slowly eased her back until she was lying down. Riley stopped when she detected a familiar scent and pulled away from Dougie.
"Have you been drinking?" she asked, sitting up.
"I don't know, maybe" Dougie replied and rubbed his eyes, he moved forward to kiss her again, but Riley pulled away.
"Yes or no, Dougie?" Riley asked firmly.
"Yes, but so what?" Dougie asked and kissed her roughly. Riley pulled away and slapped him across the face. He quickly brought his hand to his cheek. "What the hell did you do that for?" he asked and slapped her back. He lowered his arm when he realized what he did. "Riley, I'm so sorry." He said.
Riley left his room without a backwards glance
"Hey Rhu-Rhu"
Rhuben turned around and glared when she saw the person she least expected to see in the world. "What are you doing here?"
"I was invited" he replied.
"By who, probably by someone I don't know."
"But you know me" he replied and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Stop it." Rhuben pulled away from him. "I don't want to remember anything about you. Good night." She turned to leave when she felt him grab her shoulders and pull her farther into the shadows than before. A door closed behind them. And he locked it. She was trapped. Rhuben was trapped with a guy she thought she would never see again.
When she turned to look at him again, his green eyes glowed deviously, evilly. And there was another emotion in them she didn't recognize.
"Yes, this is a good night." He purred again, sounding more evil and villainous with each word.
His voice sent shivers down her spine.
She did not like where this was going.
Not at all.
"No, stop!" Rhuben cried as she tried to get away. But he was clutching her wrists and holding her firmly against his hard and muscular body. She felt dizzy and nauseas as the fishy smell of his cologne filled her brain and made her head pound.
This couldn't be happening; this couldn't be happening.
She gasped for breath, trying unsuccessfully to get away from this green-eyed monster. His emerald eyes sparkled devilishly in the pitch black room and traveled all over her body.
She felt like she was melting from the intensity of his gaze.
Where was everyone?
How come the moon wasn't letting any light into the room?
His metal hot hands traveled down and up her back, and then caught on her zipper. He smiled and opened it. Her blue eyes widened in fear. She opened her mouth and let out a piercing scream.
He kissed her, muffling her screams.
Where was everybody?
Couldn't they hear her screaming?
She pounded his chest with punches, which only made him laugh.
But that didn't matter anymore.
