Now that Cruefest is over, I can say that I am going to have more time for this! Since I seriously doubt that I will be going to the 3 Doors Down/Hinder/Finger11 concert, most of my musical love will be dedicated to this!
I'm also going to rename this very soon. I just have to come up with a new name so this is probably going to be the last chapter posted under Teen Handbook for Life.
disclaimer: don't own anything!

The ride to the studio was uneventful but rather loud. Rin and Kagome sang along to every song that was played on the radio as Souta played air guitar in his seat and Ayame made drum noises at the appropriate times. By the time they made it to their destination, it was quarter to nine. After parking in Kagome's spot, the group walked into the building then to the room they were always in.
"Wow, first ones!" Ayame said sitting on one of the overstuffed couches.
"We're even here before Myoga." Kagome said sitting on the other side of the couch.
"Hey guys, do you hear that?" Rin asked with her ear pressed to the door. "It sounds like a disturbance!"
"In your pants!" Souta quickly added but also put his ear to the door.
Outside the room and in the hall, loud thumps were heard every few seconds and mumbled talking.
"if that's not Inuyasha and Koga fighting over something, I don't know what it could be." Kagome said walking to the door. "Aren't you going to open it, Rin?"
"Nah, I'm gonna obstruct your way for, wait for it, okay, I'm opening the door." she said and swung the door open.
Sure enough, Inuyasha and Koga were competing over something,which was not surprising, it was what they were doing that made everyone laugh. The group in the room saw the two teens attempt a cartwheel, fall, then do an handstand falling yet again. Sesshomaru, who usually opted to stay out of the competitions, seemed to take on the roll of referee for this one.
"Koga's cartwheel was straighter," he started which caused Koga to punch Inuyasha's arm, "but Inu did stay in the handstand longer." this caused Inuyasha to punch Koga's arm. By the end of the night, both boys' arms would be covered in bruises and who ever had the smaller one won. Strange but, okay, maybe it was just strange.
"Um, are you guys done?" Ayame asked.
Souta turned to his sisters, "Are they always like this?"
Rin was first to answer, "Souta, they can't go a day without something like this." she said with a tone of absolute knowledge.
"Just wait until Sango and Miroku get here, that's always good." Kagome said.
Five minutes later, Sango, Miroku, and Myoga walked into the room that held all seven teens.
"So, shall we begin?" Myoga asked then started talking before anyone else could. "Okay, Kids in Cars, you have to pick your first single to release then practice it a bit for your debut with Bobby-Boom. Rubber Band, you need to record three songs today and maybe pick one to sample on Bobby-Boom's station. What are you standing there for? Guys, in the box!" he said pointing to the recording booth.
"But we haven't told you our song yet." Inuyasha said annoyed.
"Oh, well what is it?"
"We decided on 'Calling All Skeletons'"
"Good, now in the box you go." he said practically pushing all four guys into the booth.
"After the guys practiced their song for half and hour, the girls finally got to record their songs for the day.
"Alright, we're going to do 'So I Thought', 'CityNoise', and 'Bummer'.
Once the girls got themselves situated and ready, they signaled Myoga that they were about to start. When they got the okay from him, they started with 'City Noise'.
The song started with everyone playing.You could say it was an organized chaos sound.
Another crowded dance floor
Another empty glass
Another failed hello
It's your alibi
Another splendid lie
It's the bruises that you can't show
It's another lonely sunset
Another starless sky
The nervousness inside
It's the final kiss from a lover's fist
It's the reason why you can't cry
It's a violent reaction
The mix tape in your heart
The answer you should know
How we complicate, a simple mistake
It's the face you make when I go
And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight Change, change, change
Another deep depression
The calm before the storm
The shaking in your head
How you sacrificed - how you paid the price
All the words you wish you had said
It's the rawest of emotions
Drinking to forget - names written in the snow
It's the anxious feel - purging your last meal
It's the secret that you can't know
And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight
Change, change, change
Change, Change, Change
And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight
Change, change, change
The song ended in the same fashion as it began and the girls quickly got ready to record the last two of the day.
By the time the girls had finished there songs, it was almost noon. Myoga shooed them all out of the room and escorted them to their cars to make sure they didn't dilly dally or cause anymore damage than they already had at earlier times. The radio station was close to the studio so by the time everyone was there, three pizzas had been ordered but would not get there until fifteen minutes after everyone got there.
The girls had been named official Bobby-Boom DJs and answered questions that were telephoned. Once the pizza arrived, it was attacked and devoured by people who had it less than twenty-four hours ago. Finally, Bobby-Boom decided it was a good time to have the guys play their song.
"Okay people, this is for you!" Koga yelled dramatically.
"Buy our merch!" Inuyasha quickly added before Miroku counted them off to begin their song, 'Calling All Skeletons.'
When the song ended, Miroku anounced upcoming dates. "We have one more session in the studio, then our albums drops on September 29! Buy it!"
"Look out for Rubber Band too."Bobby-Boom said. "Girls, it would be great if you sampled something for us ya know."
"I don't know." Kagome said teasingly.,
"We value our fan free life." Ayame said.
"And we don't want to have to resort to diving through windows." Sango added.
"You can forget about that anytime now." Sesshomaru said.
"I think it would be a good idea." Rin said twirling a piece of her hair. "Besides, we can beat out the guys this way."
The girls thought about this for a moment. "I guess we can do the chorus to one of our songs." Sango spoke up.
"Great!" But who's that?" Bobby-Boom asked pointing at Souta.
"C'est mon petit frere! Il aime porte une jupe avec une chemise! Il est tres belle! Il est un poisson rouge aussi!" Rin sang in French.
This made Sango, Kagome, Ayame, and Miroku laugh, confused Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Bobby-Boom, and slightly annoyed Souta.
"Uh, what was that?" Inuyasha asked.
"She said, 'Its my little brother! He like to wear a skirt with a blouse! He is very pretty! He is a goldfish also!'" Souta translated with fake excitement.
"Oh, does she do that often?" Bobby-Boom asked.
"Yep, and its worse when Kagome and Sango join in.
"What about Ayame?" he asked.
"We just met today so there hasn't been any weird made up French songs sung to me by her."
"He has a band too!" Kagome said.
"But they're still a bunch of nobodies." Rin added.
"My brother's in their band too. I don't think they have a name yet." Sango said.
"Enough about me, do your chorus." Souta said as he pointed at instruments in the corner of the room.
"Yes, yes, we shall." Sango said getting behind the drums.
"How about we do 'Bummer'? Except the first verse and chorus." Ayame suggested.
"Sounds good." Rin said.
The song started with Ayame and Kagome making a screeching noise then Sango and Rin joined in playing. Kagome started singing the intro to the song.
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
A few seconds passed before Rin started to sing the actual song.
I loved this person who didn't love me
I stuck around, hoping that they would see
Unwilling to loose -Reluctant to care
So confident in the substances we'd share
And it was a...
Kagome started singing the intro again.
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Ba, bada, ba, ba bummer
Once Kagome finished, the girls stopped playing and but let the song end when the sounds of their instruments ended. They quickly took off the instruments or if you were Sango, put down the sticks, and went back over to the group.
"So, does that song have any significant meaning?" Bobby-Boom asked.
"Not really, at least I don't think so." Rin said.
"You'd have to ask Ayame." Kagome said. "After all, she was the one who wrote the song."
"Well, does it?" Bobby-Boom asked Ayame.
Everyone looked at her expecting a yes and heartfelt explanation.
"Um, nope." she said shrugging and shaking her head. "It just kinda came to me before I moved here."
Everyone's mouth was open and their eyes were wide.
"What, it was a very strange time for me." she defended.
"That's kind of very strange." Koga said.
"Oh, well do you know what is completely strange?" Ayame asked.
"Hey, Inu, who has the smaller bruise?" Kagome asked hoping to avoid any arguments between the bands.
"Um, let me check." he said rolling up his sleeve to show a bruise about twice the size of Koga's fist. "Hey Koga how big is your bruise?" he asked.
"Only one way to find out." Koga said rolling up his sleeve."Great, now how are we supposed to know who won?" he asked when he saw that his bruise was about twice the size of Inuyasha's fist.
The winner would be me!" Sesshomaru said with his sleeve rolled up to show a bruise about half an inch on his arm.
"But you weren't competing!" they both said.
"Maybe not, but I did get punched by Inuyasha once after he didn't like my judging. Therefore, I win!"
"What a loophole." Koga mumbled.
Two hours later, everyone was leaving the station and heading home. Souta decided to go with Sango so that he could talk with her brother about their band and call their last member over. The plan was to get everyone in one house to practice so they could follow Rubber Band to the studio again and talk Myoga into giving them a chance.

Hey there! It seems like forever since I updated but I think that's only because I barely have any time at all. The songs I used were "City Noise' and 'Bummer' both by Scaring.
The french thing was an original song by me! that's something i sing to my little brother and it tends to get him angry but only because he know what I'm singing.
Don't forget, I'm planning on revamping the title so it goes with the story a wee bit more.
Let me know what you think!
