A New Gig
Alex had just gotten back into his room from his shower when his phone rang; tightening the belt on his bathrobe he picked his cell phone off of the desk by Jeremy's computer. He connected the call and said "Hello?"
"Alex, it's Chris Morales, I have some news for the Pop Rock Progressives. Can you share this with them?" he asked
"Sure, what is it?" he asked.
"Pack up your instruments and bring them down to the event center. You're opening for us tonight. Have a song ready to go. See you tonight buddy." *click*
Alex grabbed a music file off the desk and ran to Odd and Ulrich's room. He slid to a halt, and started banging on the door, and told Odd and Ulrich the news, then called Nicholas and Yumi, who came up a few minutes later.
"So, we're really opening for the Subdigitals tonight." Yumi asked
"Yep, Aelita was notified that she won't be opening tonight, she congratulated me via text message after I got the call from Chris, and now we need to head downtown, we're opening for a sold out concert, so we need the rehearsal time." Alex said.
His band mates agreed and followed him down to the locker area where their instruments and equipment were stored. After gathering it up they headed for the school gates, turned left and headed downtown. On the way they passed by Kashiwa Academy, where all the students that saw them gave them blank looks. These were ignored easily.
Down at the event center, Alex and his friends set up and went about rehearsing. Chris, Ben and Nico came in and listened, complimented the music, and rehearsal was over. The song was Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss.
