Chapter 4 is here! BIG, BIG THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS AND SUBSCRIBERS, YOU GUYS ROCK, I LOVE Y'ALL! I'd like to make a few things clear thought:

My story is based on only the 1st season on the show, because in the second one they get signed with Simon Craig and what I'm writing now kind of interferes with the new plot. When this idea came to me, I only watched the first seventeen episodes from the first season and I had no idea that they would get a manager, so yeah...I think you got it :).

Also, some of you, after reading the previous chapter, might have thought that I'm writing an OC/Tripp fic, which is totally untrue. Tatiana won't fall for Tripp, Tripp won't fall for Tatiana, you'll see that she'll grow as a sister figure to him, so please have no worries on this aspect, okay? And to answer the question: "Will Tatiana fall for anyone in the band?" Well...I must ask you to return to the first chapter of the story in order to read the author note from there of which I mentioned that it must be read before the fan-fic, in order for you to get your answer.

And now, the story...

The morning finally arrived after an unexpectedly long night. Tatiana struggled the entire night to catch some sleep because of the awful smell of the sheets she was sleeping in. She couldn't complain to Tripp thought, for she didn't have any alternative than sleeping in that narrow bunk bed, even if she finally managed to fall asleep at an early morning hour.

Ash and Burger entered the house and when noticing that the living room was empty and figuring out that the other two band members were still asleep, they decided to just lie lazily on the couch till the others would wake up.

"Home sweet home!" sighed Ash placing his feet on the small coffee table in front of the couch.

Burger didn't say anything to Ash's remark. After he sat down, he just crossed his arms in front of his chest with a grumpy expression on his face.

"Oh, c'mon dude…don't tell me you're still mad at me"

Burger continued to be silent, so Ash continued.

"I know I forgot to gas up the van before we left and you had to push it all the way to the airport, but c'mon what's so big deal?" Ash asked grabbing a banana from the basket on the table.

"What's so big deal?" Burger asked tragically "I lost TEN POUNDS man! That's the deal" Burger once again said annoyed "Now I have to spend this entire week putting it all back!" he added before snatching Ash's banana from his hand and eating it in a savage manner, making the drummer back away on the couch scared.

"I'm off to the kitchen" Burger said throwing the banana peel on the floor and getting up to his feet "I wonder what Beth cooked while we were gone"

"I wonder if Derek and Tripp found a girl to join the band…" said Ash also getting up.

"Nah, Derek said he'd call us if that would happen"

"Ohh…" said Ash nodding his head "Well then…Do you think Derek felt lonely or bored sleeping without us in the guestroom last night?"

Burger didn't get to answer. In fact, after Ash's question, the noise of a door opening was heard immediately and the two could tell it was the door from their guestroom. To their tremendous surprise, it wasn't Derek's figure that came up in front of their eyes, but a female one. They could see a tall, slender and curvy young woman dressed up in a very short nightgown, who began stretching her arms up in the air and yawning deeply. Due to the fact that the girl kept her eyes almost shut during the process of stretching and going to the bathroom, she couldn't notice the two rockers staring at her from the living room.

The moment Tatiana disappeared in the bathroom and shut the door behind her, Ash and Burger's jaws dropped.

"No, I incline to doubt that…" Burger said slowly to answer the question Ash had previously asked.

They then started staring in each other's eyes not knowing how to react to what they had just seen. Did Derek return to the old habit he used to have when Iron Weasel was young and famous?
"Okay…now I totally didn't see this one coming…" said Ash slowly.

"I can't believe this" said Burger heading towards the kitchen being followed by his band mate "We leave for just two nights and he starts bringing girls in!"

"Oh, c'mon Burger…What's wrong in bringing a person to have pleasant conversation with?" asked Ash raising his shoulders.

"Aha, I'm sure that was all!" said Burger opening and the fridge while Ash was taking a seat at the table "Just pleasant conversation the entire night!"

"See, I told you! I mean what else could have happened?" asked the drummer while Burger was taking a seat at the table as well with a plate of nachos in his hand. The bassist rolled his eyes annoyed before turning to whisper something in his friend's ear that made him gasp deeply with his mouth opened in shock.

"Do you really think?" asked Ash. Burger nodded. "But I t thought he's not able anymore…"

"Yeah, I thought that too…" said Burger chewing on his good "But it doesn't seem like it…"

Meanwhile, Derek had woken up from his sleep and exited the guestroom. He wanted to enter the bathroom, but when noticing the light was on and figured out that it must have been Tripp using the bathroom already, he decided to just go in the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning Burger, Ash!" he said after entering the kitchen yawning. The two didn't answer; they just stared at him a bit, so Derek continued:

"Looks like your back. What's new?" he asked while opening the fridge.

"You tell us" said Burger.

The lead singer cocked his eyebrow questioningly "What should I tell? Nothing happened while you were gone. We didn't even find a girl to join the band…what a surprise…" Derek continued while preparing himself a bowl of cereal and taking a seat between his two band mates.

"I'm not talking about the audition Derek" said Burger "We were just wondering: Is there something…anything you want to share with us?" he asked suggestively, widening his eyes.

"Like what?" Jupiter asked being in complete darkness.

"Like that hot girl stepping out your room this morning" added Ash.

"WHAT?" the lead singer "What are you two talking about?"

"C'mon Derek, no need in hiding this anymore…we know!" said Burger.

"What do you know?" Jupiter asked, annoyance being obvious in his voice.

"Everything!" the two said in unison nodding their heads.

"Oh man…" Derek let out as a sign of giving up the 'fight' and started eating his breakfast.

"I mean really Derek, if you want more time alone to spend with 'other persons' all you gotta' do is ask, ok?" said Ash putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.

Derek chuckled in irritation. He really had no idea what his mates were talking about and that made him and angrier and angrier every moment.

"Are you two serious…? I mean really, it ain't funny anymore, you're getting on my nerves"

"You don't need to get all defensive, dude, we're just curious…" started Burger "Like…Where did you met her? How old is she?"

"Does she have any sisters?" asked Ash.

"Oh, for crying out loud…" yelled Derek throwing his spoon on the table angrily "WHO?"

"That tall, hot chick that you brought in the house" explained Burger.

"I think all that junk food you two ate for the past two months have seriously damaged your brains…if you have any" yelled the lead singer "I didn't bring anyone in the house yesterday except for the girls who came for the audition but none of them got the part so we sent them home…I have no idea of what girl stepping out of our room you're talking about!"

"Now Derek, seriously there was someone…" began the bassist.

"This conversation is over!" Derek said between his teeth, grabbing his spoon and starting to eat once again.

"Yeah, but…" started Ash as well.

"OVER!" he yelled angrily "Some girl stepping out of my room, please…And what did you guys do those two days while you were gone" Jupiter said trying to change that subject which he considered complete nonsense.

Meanwhile, Tatiana had returned from the bathroom all dressed up in jogging clothes and with her Ipod in one of her pockets so she could listen to her favorite music. Every morning, since she was in high school, she would wake up and start jogging for about half an hour in order to keep in shape.

Her body looked amazing, but boy did she have to work hard to keep it that way! Besides all the daily jogging, she had to keep a strict diet that didn't allow her to eat any candy, except for Sunday afternoons, or any other foods which had too much fat or calories, and had to do stretching and Pilates every evening before going to bed. It was hard, she had to admit it, but the results were fantastic; she simply loved the way she looked.

Tatiana wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat before heading to jog, but when hearing unfamiliar voices from the other side of the kitchen door, she decided it was best not to so she went jogging with no meal. When she returned, all sweaty and hungry, the three rockers were still talking in the kitchen about what they did the past two days, and even if she didn't know who she would meet when opening the kitchen door, Tatiana decided to enter anyways, for she was almost starving. But when she placed her hand on the doorknob, she could hear noise from the house: Tripp had woken up. He entered the living room and when noticing Tatiana wanted to enter the kitchen where the Weasels were having breakfast, he realized that he would better talk to the guys before they could meet Tatiana in person, so he can 'prepare' them in a way, so he said to her in the last moment:

"Tatiana, wait! Don't go in the kitchen yet!"

"Why not? Don't I have to meet the guys?" she asked in a pretty annoyed tone, still breathing hardly from the long distance she had run, with her right hand dropped on the doorknob.

"Yeah, but it would be better if I would go talk to the Weasels first so I can make you a small 'introduction' before they meet you in person, you know?" explained Tripp.

"I guess…" Tatiana said slowly taking her hand away from the door and blowing away from her face a piece of hair that got anesthetically in front of her eyes.

"And besides that…Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I think you should better go change your clothes before you meet the rest of the band…" Tripp added when noticing Tatiana's sweaty figure "I'll go talk to the guys" he added with a friendly smile heading towards the kitchen door.

"Umm…Tripp?" said Tatiana "Thanks for letting me sleep here tonight!"

"No problem…Oh, and I talked with the owners of the house that's for rent and they said they said they'll be here later today to speak with you!"

"You're a really nice kid Tripp!" Tatiana said smiling widely, rumpling Tripp's hair in a parent-like manner before heading to the bathroom.

Tripp felt a bit embarrassed to have his hair ruffled like that by a girl, but he figured out that Tatiana was older and more mature than him so he should've seen that one coming. So Tripp spent a few moments after Tatiana left to fix his hair before finally entering the kitchen.

In the bathroom, eyeing her exhausted figure after the jogging, Tatiana realized that Tripp was right: all that sweat on her face and on her clothes gave her a repulsive and repugnant look, so she had to do something about that. She returned to the living room, where her luggage was at and grabbed some of her favorite tight clothes, a pair of high heels, her makeup box and her hair straightener from inside it. Tatiana thought that if it was the first time when she would meet an actual rock band, the she would have to look her best in order to impress them.

"What are you talking about kid?" asked Derek in shock when Tripp said that he had found a potential girl to be their SheWeasel "We had our audition and none of the girls could make it in the band, so no one will join it!"

"Yeah but there's really an amazing one that came by last night and she has an amazing voice!" explained Tripp.

"I don't care how amazing you say this girl is. She missed the audition so Bah-bye!" the lead singer said putting the bowl in which he had eaten in the sink.

"Yeah Derek, I know, but it's because her plane had a delay"

"Oh kid, will you give it up?" Derek asked in an extremely affected tone, which was empathized by his strong British accent "I agreed with all your caprices of putting up announcements, of making auditions and listen to all that horrid singing voices yesterday that made me sick to my stomach, but that's enough! Iron Weasel has just one singer: Derek Jupiter, and that's final!"

"Oh please Derek, at least give her a chance! She sings since she was in high school. Her dream is to become a rock star…like us! Don't just crush her dream like that!" Tripp said slowly while Jupiter was heading to exit the kitchen and to enter the living room.

"It's a cruel world!" Derek said arrogantly before slipping in the living room.

"But she sang in a rock band for about four years and they grew very popular in their city!" explained Tripp following Derek in the living room, being also followed by Burger and Ash.

"Don't care!" he cut him off short sitting down on the couch.

"But if you at least give her a chance to sing a bit for you, you'll see that she might be a great addition to Iron Weasel…"

"'But if you at least give her a chance to sing a bit for you…'" said Derek mocking Tripp's voice and putting his feet on the table while grabbing the remote "FORGET IT!"
"She's great, really. She's exactly what we've been looking for and besides that, she's really hot and that might help us on our image…" Tripp said these words while Jupiter turned on the TV and turned the sound as up as possible so he could be deaf of what the kid was saying. And he managed to be so till Tripp unplugged the TV.

"Wait a second little man!" said Burger "Are you talking about that girl who stepped out of Derek's room this morning?"

"Well, yeah! She didn't have where to sleep for the night and I let her sleep in your bed, Burger"

"Oh…I guess that explains a lot!" said the drummer nodding his head while both Burger and Ash sat down next do Derek on the couch, Ash staying in the middle and Burger at his right.

There was a sudden silence in the room. While Burger and Ash were struck by realization, Derek just stayed there with his arms crossed against his chest, his lips in a pout and his face expressing discontent. He was pretty mad; he didn't want any addition to Iron Weasel that could tear his glory and spotlight away from him, and noticing that the kid won't give up the idea, he couldn't do anything but act like a big whiny baby.

"Derek…" started Tripp in a calmer manner being welcomed by an angry glare from the cocky lead singer "Please, at least give her one chance to sing for you, nothing more…"

"Kid…" he began getting up to his feet "It's true that I may not want another singer in the band only for pure egoistical reasons, but putting this aside, you know that we can't just let anyone join the band, you know we're like a family…" he said while motioning to the other two rockers to get up from the couch and sit by next to him while he was holding an, what he thought, inspiring and touching speech "We're all like brothers here kid, you should know this better than anybody, and bringing another member in our band is not as easy as you may think"

While Derek kept talking and all three Weasels looked at Tripp, Burger turned his head to take a glance at the lead singer, but was distracted by another person standing behind Jupiter and his eyes widened when noticing it. He pointed to Ash to take a look as well, and when noticing her, his jaw simply dropped.

"What guys, what is it?" asked Derek when he noticed their amazed faces.

Tripp, who had noticed the person standing before Derek first, simply cocked his eyebrow and said suggestively: "Look behind you!"

"What's that supposed to…" Jupiter began, but when remarking Tatiana's frame when turning around his jaw dropped as well.

She was wearing a sleeveless low-cut black top and a pair of really, really tight black leather pants which had chains on one side. The high heels which she had on her feet made her even taller than she was already, almost reaching Derek's height with them. Even if her hair was naturally straight, the straightening iron gave it a more flowing aspect, her neat makeup and large hoop earrings completing her look perfectly. She was chewing on a piece of gum so after blowing a huge bubble, she smiled an alluring but still friendly smile and said:

"Hey!"

So what do you think? Please tell me through your reviews, I'd really appreciate it ;)!
