Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight…D: Or Rock Band, American Idol or Guitar Hero. Or the song 'Why Can't I?'. Or 'Through the Fire and Flames.' Or 'I Just Can't Wait to be King' or 'The Alphabet Song' or 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat'.
Author's Note: I'm totally rocking out to 'Paperthin Hymn' and 'Foreign Languages' by Anberlin right now. It's very cool.

Edward was stroking the keys on the family piano gently, playing a tune that he and Bella knew well, her lullaby. Humming softly as he played the melody he allowed himself to be trapped the sound around him. He swayed and closed his, he didn't need to see the piano to play this song; he wrote it and it was forever instilled in his memory.
Edward had found peace; it was probably the most calming and wonderful thing. He imagined Bella being with him, her long dark hair falling to either side of her face like a cascading waterfall. Bella, you are so beaut-
His thoughts were halted by a voice he had prayed he wouldn't have had to hear that day. "EDWARD!" Emmett screamed his ear. "EDWARD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"What does it look like?" He motioned to the keys on the piano.
"It looks like you are practicing for the band you know we are starting because you already read my mind."
Edward shook his head. "One, you mind is so boring I don't even bother reading it anymore or at least I try not to. Two, who decided we are starting a band?"
"Umm…everyone, except for you of course. We already assigned instruments. Plus we have a fangirl already."
"Who would want to be fangirl to your band?" Edward looked confused.
"Bella…duh!" Emmett smacked his head with his hand. "You are such a dunce, Edward."
"Ok, whatever." He rolled his eyes. "What am I playing?"
"The piano, dunce."
"And you?"
"I will using my awesome drumming skills. And just so you don't have to ask. Alice is going to be a back-up singer, as while as the bass guitar. Jasper has the electric guitar. And my gorgeous wife, Rosy, will the lead singer, of course."
Edward shook his head upwards slightly. "Right…so I'm afraid to ask, but does this band have a name?" Edward winced, readying himself for a title such as 'Spedward and the Legion of Vampires' or something else stupid.
"Well…we wanted something that said something about us subtly, so we decided on 'Cullens are Vampires'." Edward smacked his forehead.
"Oh, no one will know we're vampires now." Edward's voice dripping with sarcasm; the kind of sarcasm that went right over Emmett's head.
"Yeah, right. But Jasper thought it would be a good idea to shorten the name. So our band name is 'C.A.V.'."
"CAV?"
"Yup. We have our first gig on Saturday, be ready."
"Wait!" Edward reached for Emmett. "I haven't even played with you guys yet!"
"Oh, you'll be fine." Emmett left the room.
Edward sighed and fell face first into the keyboard with a loud mess of random noise.

Saturday came far too fast for Edward, they were now standing on stage, light blazing into their retinas. Edward held an arm up to block the oncoming lighting as he sat at his piano bench waiting for the cue from Emmett. They hadn't even practiced once as a complete band, this made Edward uneasy for the fact, no one, but him actually played anything.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bella yelled from the crowd, while holding a sign that read 'Piano boys are awesome boys!' and the back it said 'I heart the pianist!'. And, though Bella didn't know, on the back in smaller print it also read 'Jasper is one sexy beast.', written by Emmett.
"Ok, everyone!" Emmett said and the rest of the band arrived. Alice was holding a Guitar Hero guitar, as was Jasper. Rosalie held a microphone from the American Idol karaoke game we have at home. And Emmett had the Rock Band drum set.
"Ready!" Emmett yelled, he readied himself.
"WAIT a second!" Edward shouted over him. "None of you can actually play instruments!"
"Yeah, but Alice and Jasper are kick butt awesome at Guitar Hero, Rosalie has 97 perfect on the song 'Why Can't I?'(A/N: the first time I played I got that), and I'm super AMAZING at the drums on Rock Band. So we'll be fine." Emmett waved Edward off.
"We don't even know the same song." Edward said, monotone.
"Fine, what songs do you guys know?"
"Alice and I know 'Through the Fire and Flames'." Jasper responded. Alice nodded.
"I know Bella's lullaby." Edward spoke.
"I know 'Why Can't I?'." Rosalie smiled.
Emmett looked around, finally realizing he was an idiot. "I know…let's sing-"

Five minutes later the concert began…
"Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream" Edward growled the words out and on the second line Jasper started, then Alice, Emmett and then Rosalie.
After about ten minutes of that round, Emmett walked up to the microphone. "And now for the alphabet song." Edward roared. "Or 'I Just Can't Wait to be King', whatever floats your boat Edward." Emmett shrugged.
