Now that I finally finished the battle of the bands part of the story, its time for the girls to go back to normal! Oh, and my brother and I had a weird night last night so some of that stuff is going to make an appearance!

Disclaimer: don't own it!

A few weeks had past since Kids in Cars had won the contest. The guys had promised that they would visit often and they would all hang out. It was learned though that it was easier said than done. At first, everything was normal but once they got noticed more and started recording their songs, it got harder and harder to just talk. Not only that, they were on Bobby-Boom's radio show a lot getting attention for their singles and upcoming album. The girls didn't want to be caught up in the frenzy so they resumed their life from where it left off before the contest. Sango went to work again in the diner, Kagome got a job in the local supermarket, and Rin babysat the neighbor's child.

While Rin was watching the kid one day, she made him his favorite, canned corn, for lunch. She just sat at the table starring at the wall until she couldn't take it anymore. She needed to talk to someone, even if that someone was the person she was babysitting.

"So, Shippo, your still living with your mom?"

"Yeah." he said while playing with his corn.

"And what are you, like going on two or something?"

"Yeah." he answered still playing with the corn.

"Do you plan on moving out anytime soon?"

"No."

"Don't you live in the basement?"

"No, wow!"he said as he heard a motorcycle pass by outside. "BIKE!"

"Oh, so you don't live in basement, you sleep on the couch, and you bought a motorcycle?"

Suddenly, Shippo let out a high pitched scream and Rin did the same. This continued for about two minutes, that's when Shippo picked up a piece of corn and threw it at Rin. He had another piece ready to go, but Rin stopped him.

"That's so not cool! Don't you dare throw that corn at me!" As soon as she said that, Shippo smiled and acted like he was going to put the corn down. She reached over to take the tray off of his chair and her face was about six inches from his. He got an evil glint in his eye and Rin knew what was coming. "If I get hit-" I'm sure you know what happened, Shippo threw the corn into her open mouth as she was warning him. "EWWWW!" she screamed. "That's it!" Rin picked up some corn and threw it at Shippo thus beginning the War 'O Corn as Rin liked to call it. When they were in the middle of the mini war, Kagome walked in the house. "Kagome, I need some backup!" Rin yelled hoping her sister would come to her aid.

"I'm coming!" Kagome yelled and walked painfully slow into the kitchen. When she finally got to the kitchen, she threw a bag of half eaten goldfish crackers at her. "Here, they smile back and are very aerodynamic." After she said that, she walked away not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of now cold corn and goldfish.

Later that day, Rin and Kagome went over to Sango's house to just play some of their songs and maybe write some new stuff for when they got the call from Myoga. The guys had said that they would try to make it over but they were not sure if they could. All this time apart was really putting a strain on all of the relationships. By far, emails had been the best way to communicate with each other. The girls were just sitting around in Sango's bedroom instead of doing what they planned on doing when Rin started laughing.

"Hey guys, guess what I just thought of!" Rin said still laughing.

The girls were confused but interested in what was so funny. "What?" They asked.

"Haha you did that in stereo! It reminds me of MSI's song. Ya know the one when its all like, you're a failure played in stereo. But back to what I was saying, I think my fingers have a stuttering problem." She said seriously.

"What does that mean?" Sango asked really confused.

"Well, I was writing an email and I went to type hey, but it came out like h-h-hey."

"And that's what's so funny?" Kagome asked.

"Yep, just thought I'd share that with you."

The doorbell rang and Sango went to answer it. The ringing became more frantic as she got closer to the door. Someone outside yelled to her, "Hurry up Sango the zombies are coming and I already tripped Sess and Inu!" Sango rolled her eyes as she opened the door.

"So, you decided to show up after all? Where are the other guys?"

"I told you already, the zombies are coming and I already tripped them! Its Shaun of the Dead shit!" he yelled as he pushed his way into Sango's house. Loud crashes were heard coming from another room and Sango went to go check it out. Once she got there, she couldn't help but laugh.

Upstairs, Rin and Kagome heard someone talking frantically about zombies and started to go downstairs to check it out. They also heard the crash and went to the guest room where the noise sounded like it came from. What they saw made them stop in their tracks and burst out laughing.

Sesshomaru looked at them and said, "What, haven't you ever climbed through a window?"

Rin, who was still laughing said, "No, but Kagome pushed me through one once. It was when we were locked out and had to get inside." She got a glazed over look in her eyes and Kagome took over.

"Yeah, she wasn't going fast enough so I gave her a little push which resulted in her falling on the floor inside. Its a good thing she had one leg and her head already in too."

"Which brings us to you two." Sango said trying not to start laughing again. "Why are you both stuck head first in my window?"

"Well you see, the zombies were chasing us, Miroku tripped us, and we dove for an open window."

"Yeah, that crash was your screen sorry about that." Inuyasha apologized.

"Sounds legitimate to me." Sango said shrugging.

"Good, now get us out of here!"

"And hurry up! I can feel chaffing coming on!" Inuyasha admitted. He got the what 'the hell look' just like Naraku had when he answered the pony question and he asked the same question as Naraku, "What?"

--

The group decided not to risk going into town so they could avoid the zombies, or super excited fans of Kids in Cars as Miroku later explained. Instead they did what resulted in their current status, went swimming, but on purpose this time. They stayed in the pool until Sesshomaru's phone rang. The only reason they all got out was because it was a call from Myoga as signified by the extra annoying ring tone specially assigned to his number, that and the girls wanted to eavesdrop.

"Hello Sesshomaru, I need you, your brother, and Miroku in the studio in ten minutes."

"Well, you're gonna have to wait longer than that!" Inuyasha yelled,even though the phone was set to speaker.

"Why is that?" Myoga asked with his voice hinting annoyance.

"What he means is, we're visiting friends of ours that we haven't seen much of." Sesshomaru covered for his brother.

"Oh, the girls of Rubber Band?" Myoga asked. "Well then, bring them with you, maybe they are ready to sign on to the label."

"Sure!" The girls answered for them, then ran into the house to get changed.

About an hour and 6 fights over the bathroom later, everyone was ready to go.

"Why did we all fight over one bathroom?" Kagome asked while Sango followed the guys in their car.

"Because we all needed to get changed and no one wanted to be last." Sango answered.

"Well, I don't think the last fight was necessary, Rin." Kagome said looking at Rin.

"Hey, maybe my alter ego wanted to fight my normal ego over who would get the bathroom. Everyone else got someone to fight with and win so why couldn't I?"

"I know you've been told this before but I can't help it, your mind is crazy, you're not, just your mind."

"And I'm sure in Kagome-anese that made sense." Sango said sarcastically.

Giving Sango the thumbs up sign, Kagome yelled "You bet!"

In the parking lot, Sango parked in the reserved parking spots for all the guys of Kids in Cars. All she had to do was park horizontally instead of vertically so all three spots were taken. As she was taking the keys out of the ignition, she thought out loud, "Ha this'll teach them not to race me on the highway!"

"Yeah, that and the death defying things you were doing." Rin said from her position in the back seat, which could be taken quite literal seeing as she pushed herself as far back as humanly possible.

"Yeah well in here look for skittles and a freezer." Sango said distractedly.

Kagome wasn't really getting why they would need frozen skittles. "Why?"

"Because normally skittles wouldn't do anything, but when they're frozen and you're doing sixty-five miles per hour it has great results, just wait." Sango took one more look around the parking lot and saw Sesshomaru's black mustang enter. "Okay, now to leave a note and get as far away as possible." Sango said as she jotted something down, got out, and put the paper under one of her windshield wipers. "Come on or you're gonna get caught!" Sango yell whispered.

"Coming." Rin and Kagome also yell whispered.

The girls ran from the car knowing how the guys would get mad about someone taking all their parking spots and watched from a safe distance away. They saw the mustang come up to the parking spots and stop. The car then pulled up alongside Sango's Spyder, boxing her in while staying out of the driving area. The guys got out, smirked, and walked towards the building. The girls didn't get out of their hiding spot until they were sure that the guys went inside.

"Can you believe them!" Sango yelled. "They didn't even read my note."

"What did it say?" Kagome asked trying to keep some peace.

"Looks like you lose the race, now I get your place!" Sango read from the paper.

Rin looked at her and with a serious face said, "You should totally work for Hallmark."

The girls laughed and decided to make their presence known in the studios.

Alright, so there it is? What's going to happen in the studio? What are they going to do about the car? Do I even know yet? Nope, but that's okay!
