A/N: IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE JUST EVEN 1 NICE REVEIW! YOU ALL ARE SO KIND! Oh, and here's Stormstar's chapter, Atem4eva7! Oh, and I don't have Rock Band 3, so I listened to some of the songs on Youtube. I found a few that I really liked!

I just can't help myself! I see a guitar, I play it. It's just instinct! I snatch up the acoustic guitar that the music room has, and begin strumming with my claws. I play Rolling in the Deep by Adele. It's my favorite song by her! Except more maybe Someone Like You, but that's for piano, not guitar. I'm not exactly Miss Pretty-kitty, but not a geek, either. But this is a new school. I could be the popularity queen if I wanted to, but I don't. I have my guitar and a few friends. That's all I-

"Hey, you sound good!"

I whip up my head, surprised. "Who are you?"

"I'm Brightheart, and this is Cloudtail." The she-cat motions to the white tom behind her. "And I said that you sounded good. You're Stormstar, right?"

"She's right, you do." Cloudtail agrees.

"Yes, I'm Stormstar. Why are you here...?" I ask, nervous. No cat has ever heard me play guitar before.

"We just got here early for music. I assume it's the same for you?" Brightheart inquires.

"Yeah... sure..."

Cloudtail and Brightheart share a glance, then look at me and ask, "Wanna play Rock Band 3 with us after school?"

I think about it. The question was a bit random, but it's my chance to make a few friends! Why not? "I'll come."

"Kay. Cloudtail's dorm after the final bell. It's number 18."

The bell rings, and I place the guitar on its stand. I better take my seat, or Snowfur will go insane. My phone dings just before Snowfur enters, lucky for me. I set it on vibrate, and look at the text.

BrighterThanTheSun: Don't 4get! Cloudtail's after the final bell!

StormySong: How'd u get my number?!

BrighterThanTheSun: Sandstorm. I sent her a texts asking her, cuz I kno friends.

StormySong: Well, that's true. I'll be there. Dorm 18!

BrighterThanTheSun: Sandstorm and Daisy r gonna be there 2. Sandy takin vocals, NO objections! She's SO. GOOD. And I'm drummer. I assume ur guitar, and Daisy and Cloudtail get what's left. Rock Band 3!

StormySong: Can't wait! ;)

xXx

This is it; dorm 18. I knock lightly, not knowing what to expect. The door is thrown open by... what was her name...? Daisy! That's it. She's Sandstorm's roommate, and Brightheart's best friend. I know all that 'cause Brightheart sent me texts with info about everyone who would be playing Rock Band 3 with us.

"Hey hey hey! Get in here! You're playing guitar! Cloudtail's on bass, I'm keyboard, Brightheart is drums, and Sandstorm is vocals!"

She practically drags me in and throws a fake guitar into my paws. "You know how to play, right?"

"Course I do!" I laugh. "This was my favorite game as a kit! That was Rock Band 2, though. I could kill it on Livin' On A Prayer!"

"How 'bout you prove your skills, then!" Sandstorm teases. "I need to know if you're lying!"

I laugh. This is pretty cool, hanging out with cats like this!

"What first?" Brightheart asks.

"I Need To Know." Cloudtail and Daisy purr at the same time, then high-paw.

"That song is EPIC!"

"I know, right?"

"Okay, then. I Need To Know."

Sandstorm grabs the Wii remote and clicks on I Need To Know.

I decide to start on medium, because it's been forever since I played any of the Rock Band games. My claws fly across the buttons that are used instead of strings. I forgot how fun this is! I was an only-kit, so I always had to play either alone, or with my parents (who hated the game, but got it for me when I turned 12 moons old, because of my love for music). It's way more fun now!

"Well, talk on the street says you might go solo!" Sandstorm sings. I knew she could belt out this song! "A good friend of mine saw you leavin' by your back door."

Brightheart is banging on those fake drums like she's a kit again, and is doing well, considering her missing eye. I mentally face-paw myself. I can't insult her for saving her friend (yeah, she texted me about that, too...)!

"I need to know!"

"I need to know," Cloudtail leans in, singing backup. I guess he sings fairly well, too!

"I need to know!"

"I need to know,"

"If you think you're gonna leave, then you better say so."

Suddenly a brownish tom bursts in. "CLOUDTAIL! YOU HAVE GIRLS OVER?!" He screams.

"Uh, yeah...? Hi, Tigerclaw."

"WELL, DON'T INVITE GIRLS OVER! Without telling me... hey, ladies, you're lookin' cool."

Sandstorm, still singing, whips him with her pale orange tail. Good for her! I'm still playing my guitar, but step on his paw. "Don't act like you own she-cats! It's insulting." I hiss.

We finish the song without any more interruptions, but my phone dings, signaling a new text. I hold it up, and read it.

FrozenClouds: Where r u, Stormy?!

"It's my roommate. I gotta reply." I call out.

StormySong: At a friends dorm. What is it, Icecloud!?

FrozenClouds: We didn't know you were going somewhere! And Dovewing couldn't hear you because she was overwhelmed again!

Icecloud and I are the only ones that know about Dovewing's special power. She was born with it, and she doesn't know why. We've been sworn to secrecy.

ChocolateDoves: Where r u?! Going insane listening!

I gotta text her the same thing I texted Icecould...

StormySong: At a friends dorm.

ChocolateDoves: Mkay. I'll stop going insane, just for you ;) but little Cloudy is laughing her tail off watching me. Do I always look weird when I listen?

StormySong: Yes, yes you do :). JK, but you must look HILARIOUS if Cloudy's laughing her tail off! That's only happened, like, twice before!

ChocolateDoves: IKR! Gtg, but have fun!

I put my phone away, and look up to silence. It's far too quiet. Too... serious...

"PUMPKIN PIE!" I yowl. I can't STAND silence or seriousness! As usual, everyone who heard me bursts out laughing.

"Why... why pumpkin pie?!" Daisy giggles.

"She just does... that whenever there's silence! It's so funny!" laughs Sandstorm.

"What song next?" Brightheart asks, still laughing.

"How about... Heart Of Glass? Or Don't Stand So Close To Me?" I toss out the suggestion.

"Heart Of Glass. It's in my range. I think that the vocal pitches on Don't Stand So Close To Me are weird, no offense."

"'Kay." This time I grab the Wii remote, and select the song. This time I do the difficulty as hard (which isn't really all that hard, if you ask me).

Eventually, about halfway though the song, we're all just singing (or, in Tigerclaw's case, 'cause he joined in, screaming) along, cracking jokes, and having a good time. Honestly, it's the most fun that I've had in a while. I hope that we'll do it again sometime!

"Okay, y'all! I think we'd better go. It's almost dinner." Sandstorm shouts, still in time with the music.

"Already? Dang..." I pout. "Well, it was fun!"

"Yeah. Now GET OUT!" Cloudtail screams, smiling to tell us he was joking.

"Oh no! CLOUDTAIL ANGRY!" I laugh, faking being scared.

"OUT!" Cloudtails roommate, Thistleclaw snarls, not joking.

We all race out giggling, even Cloudtail! And it's his dorm!

"So, Brightheart! Will ya date me?" Cloudtail requests, a sly look on his face.

"Not with that expression!" Brightheart smiles.

"How 'bout now?" He asks, gazing straight into Brighthearts eyes.

Brightheart thinks for a moment. "Fine. One date. If it goes well, you've got yourself a girlfriend! Deal?"

"Deal!"

"Now, we better go before Thistleclaw rips our pelts off! See ya!"

Cloudtail waves his tail in farewell, as we race off to our dorms, to eat, sleep, dream, and wake up to party all over again. I'll remember this day as the day I let cats see my "talent" (as Brightheart calls it), and finally did what I wanted to do at the Academy: have fun!

A/N: This is sort of weird, but does anyone else listen to music as they write? 'Cause I do. It helps me think (I personally like Avril Lavinge). And (RANDOMNESS ALERT), to quote Stormstar, PUMPKIN PIE!
