A/N: If the Chapter stars OCs sent to me by a review or PM, I will dedicate the chapter to the person who sent me the review/PM (you only get one chapter dedicated to you, no matter how many OCs you submit). So, Cliffdiverwarriorcat, here's your chapter! I hope you like how I portrayed the characters!

It's been a week, now, since I arrived at the academy. It's been great! My roommates, Cliffdiver and Lightbreeze, became my BFFs almost instantly! We all LOVE music, and it's a great mix! Lightbreeze is a little shy, but will never stop talking if she knows you well. I'm the more normal one in the group, except for my obsession with singing. Then there's Cliffdiver. She brings the danger to the dorm! The best part: Cliffdiver is a drummer, and Lightbreeze plays guitar! If i'm lead singer, and we find a pianist and a bass guitar player, we could form a band!

I promised myself that I would ask them today... I just know that they'll say yes! The only problem is that I don't know if they'll like my original songs. They could hate them! And then it'll lead to hating the band, and since I started the band, they'll hate ME! And they're my only friends at the Warriors Academy. I'll ask them now, as we're getting ready for classes.

"Um, guys? I have something to ask you..."

"What is it, Songflare?" Lightbreeze asks kindly.

"Yeah, out with it! I don't got all morning!" Cliffdiver laughs.

"Well, I thought that since, y'know, you kitties play guitar and drums, and I sing, we could find a pianist and bass guitarist, and we could... uh, start a band?"

They stare at me for a few heartbeats. "Uh, I mean, we don't have to, it's just an idea, and-" I start, but Cliffdiver cuts me off.

"I LOVE IT! I WANNA DO IT!" She shrieks. But Lightbreeze isn't looking me in the eye.

"I... I have stage fright... I don't know if I can do it..." Lightbreeze stutters.

I have to try my best to comfort her; she would do it for me. "Aw, Lightbreeze, you'll be fine! You play guitar very well! Better than I ever could."

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Well... okay! I'll do it! We need a bass player and pianist, plus a manager, places to perform, and about the performances, I think there's a school dance coming up, and we need a band name, and a songwriter, and-"

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down there. You going faster than a rabbit running from WindClan Warriors." I laugh. "I think I know a bass player and pianist. We could probably get a gig at the dance, if we practice enough. I have a few ideas for band names, but we should decide together. Oh, and..." I pause. I don't know if I should tell them about my songs! They might laugh at me! But they also may think I'm hiding something if I keep quiet. I'll tell them.

"I write songs."

"Really? Sing one, then!" Cliffdiver purrs. "I wanna hear it!"

"Well, okay." I mew. Which should I sing? There's Gold, Peace Love and Heartbreak, Midnight, or maybe Burn Down... oh, I can't decide! I think I'll just sing two.

"I'll sing the first verse and chorus of two of my songs. Okay? The first one is called Ghost Town."

"'Kay."

"Oh, since you left me, I've been in the dark." I begin. "I've been missing you every second of every day. I don't know why you said no, but I know one thing, since you let me go, there's..." I finish the first verse, and move on to the chorus. "No one around, no escape, it's like I'm blind, there's so much pain. You don't understand what it's like, livin' in a ghost town. There's no way out, no way in, except to feel the pain I'm livin'. Why'd you have to make me come into this ghost town."

"Wow. I like it. Sort of a country beat." Lightbreeze compliments.

"Amateur. But, since we're a brand new band, really good!" Cliffdiver jokes.

"Okay, here's Picture Perfect." I take a deep breath. It's my latest song, and isn't quite done yet, but I really like the first verse.

"They shoot you down, like you're at war on a battlefield. But look up now, at those storming thunderclouds. As the rain pours on and on, just know you're not alone in this cruel world. This cruel world!" I finish the first verse. The song's really short, as of right now, but I'm still adding on to it. "Ignore everyone that's starin' at you, 'cause you're not the same. 'Cause you don't like what they like, and maybe they just don't like you. Just know that you shouldn't care 'cause you're picture perfect to me."

"Hm. Nice." Cliffdiver murmurs.

"That's about your past, isn't it? And when you wrote that you're not alone, that means us. And we helped you through it. Because we'll never leave you alone in that burning battlefield." Lightbreeze inquires.

"You're right..." I confirm.

"Well, it's good enough for me! We can do this band thing! All we need is a name! Meet me at lunch, 'kay?"

Lightbreeze and I nod, promising to meet, and we head our separate ways, but knowing that our paths will cross again. I laugh a little. I quoted one of my own songs!

xXx

After what seems like forever, the lunch bell rings. I'm out the door in 5 seconds, running to the Cafe, which is what the Academy calls the lunch room. I don't even care that they're serving fried fish today, even though it's revolting! I have a band! With my besties!

"Yo, Songflare! Over here!" Cliffdiver calls out to me. "Let's do this!"

I pad up to them. Lightbreeze is sitting next to Cliffdiver at our usual table. "So, what are our ideas so far?" I ask, taking a seat.

"Take a look, and add anything you would like." Lightbreeze slides the paper across the table. Here are the options:

Smile

Krazy Kitties

Shadow

When Lightning Strikes

"I like Krazy Kitties and Smile. I also have a few other ideas." I take the pencil and write Tropical Beach and Awesomeness Forever. "Do ya like?" I ask, send the paper back across the table.

They look for a moment, then look at each other. Then, at the exact same time, they say their answer.

"Tropical Beach."

"Great! Now, I said I know a bass player and a pianist. I do. Ivypool plays bass, and Flametail plays piano. I have Science with them, and, don't hate me, but I already asked them and they said yes!"

Almost as if they were proving my point, Ivypool and Flametail came over and sat down. "So, what's the band name?" Flametail asks.

"Tropical Beach." I answer.

"Cool. Band meetings at your dorm, right?"

"Yup. Meet us after classes. Dorm 21."

"Got it."

"'Kay. See ya!"

"Peacers!" Ivypool smiled, and pulled Flametail away from the table. He had said earlier that he had sworn off she-cats, but by the way he was staring at Lightbreeze, that oath won't last much longer!

xXx

I opened the door, and Ivypool was standing outside. "You're the last to arrive. Come in!" Lightbreeze lashes her bushy tail, showing that she was nervous. "Just drop your bass on the bed over there."

"Ready to start?" Cliffdiver asks.

We all nod, and I say, "I'll sing one of my songs; just jump in whenever you feel ready. I won't stop, and, once you get a feel for it, you shouldn't either. Got it?" I could tell they understood, so I started to sing my heart out! On Peace Love and Heartbreak!

"Here I am at 3 am, you were supposed to call me at 8. It seems like I never understand what games you're trying to play. You never ever listen to me..." I just sing and sing. And they actually join in! Ivypool even sang a little backup! And the best part of all: we sounded good! After a few tries, of course.

Later on that day, I gave a recording of Peace Love and Heartbreak to the headmistress, and she told us that we could play at the Halloween Dance! Our first gig! I can't wait!

A/N: All of the songs that Songflare mentioned/sang (Peace Love and Heartbreak, Midnight, Gold, Burn Down, Picture Perfect, and Ghost Town) are real songs that I have written myself for my own band. I own them, and I would not like them to be used in other stories or forms of writing. I did not copy them, and if they sound similar to any song that you know of, it is not intentional. Thank you!
