Hola! Back again to give you the second part to the Festival!
Disclaimer: I no own Grojband.
Mayor Mellow nodded his head to what Trina Riffin was tattling about. He knew that she didn't like her brother's band, but to him she was just being mean, something he couldn't prevent due to rules he didn't make. A faint thought eclipsed his reason, for he was sure that the Penns did have two children. "Yes, Ms. Riffin. I understand, are you sure that you aren't going to regret this? I'm sure Mr. Riffin wouldn't be too pleased with this." He spoke into the phone, using his serious voice to reassure her guilt.
"Like totally, Mr. Mayor-fellow. I totes want to see his band not play, it would like make my ears hurt." He heard her reply.
"Alright, Ms. Riffin." He sighed before saying to her, "I'll be over in a few minutes, alright?"
"Yes! Like, thank you Mr. Mayor!" Trina exclaimed before she hung up.
"Well Mother, looks like she's at it again." Mayor Mellow spoke to the picture of his mother, sighing before getting out of his chair and leaving.
Corey and the rest of Grojband were busy practicing their songs for the festival, deciding that a new song would be too hard to get out of Trina. They stopped their hardcore practicing when there came a knocking at the door. "Come in!" Corey yelled to the knocker, setting down his guitar on its stand.
Mayor Mellow walked in seriously, an angry look on his face. He turned to the band, only briefly looking at the pink haired girl who had called him. "Corey Riffin, why didn't you tell me that one of your band members didn't have a sibling? You know how important that is to the Family Festival!"
Corey stared at the mayor in confusion, looking at all of his band members, "But, Mayor Mellow, we all have siblings!"
Mayor Mellow glared at the blue haired boy, angry at his lies. "No, one of you doesn't have any siblings, I've heard so from your sister, Trina."
Corey looked up at his teenaged sister, "Trina, why did you tell him that?"
She looked down at her brother and his band with hate in her eyes, "Because, I hate you and your garbage-band!"
He turned towards the mayor again, "Mayor Mellow, we really do all have siblings. As you can see, I have Trina, Kin and Kon have each other, and Laney-"
"Doesn't have any siblings, Mayor Mellow. They, like, can't play in the festival since she doesn't have one, right?" Trina butted in.
Mayor Mellow looked between the two siblings with his hand on his chin, "Ms. Penn, is that true?" Laney looked at him, "Of course it's not! I do have a sibling, I have a brother!" "You do, do you?" Mayor Mellow looked at her suspiciously.
"Yes, yes I do." She responded.
"Well then, why don't you prove it to me? Just so I know you aren't lying to me." Mayor Mellow responded.
Laney nodded at his proposal, "I can do that, just let me show you at the festival, okay?"
"Yes, that will be fine! See you at the festival Grojband!" Mayor Mellow then walked out of the Groj, waving goodbye to the band.
"What! No!" Trina yelled before running into her room and slamming the door.
"Let's go to the festival!" Corey yelled, throwing his fist into the air.
"Yeah!" The rest of the band yelled
-Amazingly awesome transition-
When they arrived at the festival, Grojband was greeted with different family activities, strange looking family related booths, families of different animals walking around and many people hugging. Corey smiled at everyone, looking to his band and parents with an excited look in his eyes. Laney, though, was a different story. She wasn't very excited that she'd have to reveal that not only was a Newman related to her, but it was none other than Larry. Her heart beat faster when she thought of how her band would react, pulsating when she thought of Corey's inevitable glare and her impending exile from the band. Maybe she could figure a way out this mess, but at the moment she couldn't think of a plan.
"Laney!" Came a call from the surrounding crowd.
Somehow she had gotten separated from her band, and she didn't realize that they hadn't even tried to get her back. Though the voice calling to her right now wasn't Corey's or Kin's or Kon's, no, it was definitely her brother's, it was totally Larry's voice. "Larry, what are you doing here? Aren't the Newmans playing somewhere else?" She asked her brother, who had shoved through the crowd to find his sister.
"I could ask you the same thing, Laney. Isn't your band playing today? Why aren't you with them?" He asked, still heaving.
"Larry, you need to use your inhaler." Laney paused as he pulled it out and used it. "I also kinda got sidetracked."
He laughed at her reason, "Really? You, lose Corey? Never!"
She glared at him before she heard Corey's voice calling to her. "Larry, I might have made a mistake..."
He looked at her before noticing a very angered Corey marching up to them from behind Laney. "Uh, Lane, you might want to-"
Corey reached them with a ticked off look on his face, and Larry finished his sentence quietly, "Turn around. Uh oh."
Laney turned to look at him, "Hey Core, what are you doing here?"
He glared at her, "I was looking for my band member. What are you doing here with him?"
"I-I-" Laney stuttered nervously before Larry cut him off.
"She just rammed into me, stupid Lamey, you're so clumsy!"
Corey glared at him before dragging Laney back to the band.
-That was awkward Transition!-
Mayor Mellow stared at Grojband with a strange look on his face. "Yes, that's fine and all, but where is a new toe-tapping song? Where is the family song?"
Laney stepped forward, "Mayor Mellow, I have a new song, if you'd let me play it."
He nodded before snapping his fingers, "Ms. Penn! You have yet to show me your brother! I must see him before you can perform!"
Laney pulled him aside, whispering to him, "Can I just tell you who it is, and you can see him when you go to announce us? I don't really want my band to find out."
"A secret sibling? Quite mysterious! Alright, Ms. Penn. If you can produce a viable name, and I can ask them about it later, then I'll let you perform." He said to her.
"His name is Larry Gregory Nepp, or Penn, depending who you ask. He's the one with red-hair in the Newmans? He looks like a boy version of me." She said to him, looking cautiously at her band members who were busy talking about something else.
"Alright, you can perform! Good luck!" He said before walking into the main part of the stage.
Corey looked at her nervously, but she smiled and threw her arm into the air, "Let's rock!"
The lights came up on them, and Laney started to sing her song.
"You've always been there for me, woah-oh!
You've let me be free,
I've seen the light in your eyes, Tried to disguise.
But we are family!
And you've let me see, That I can be me-"
(Only can come up with a few lyrics) When she finished her song, the crowd cheered and Corey got back on the microphone. "Wasn't she amazing? Does anyone want to hear more?" The crowd cheered and Kon started his chant, ""
-Rock on Transition!-
After they had finished with their encore, Grojband sat down at a table that was next to a family restaurant. Corey smiled at Laney, "So, do you always come up with amazing lyrics?"
Laney smiled at him, "No, I only could do those because my brother helped me."
Corey laughed, "Must be a nice guy, I'd love to meet him!"
Meanwhile, Mayor Mellow was walking towards Larry with a smile, "Mr. Nepp! Hello there! I have some questions for you!"
Larry gulped as he answered, "Y-yes? What do you want?"
"I need to ask you, is Laney Penn your sister?"
"Yes." He replied.
"Why is your last name different from hers?"
"She and I thought it'd be easier to pretend we weren't related for our bands. They hate each other."
"Are you two twins?"
"Yeah, we are." Larry replied, crossing his arms.
"I thought so, thank you Mr. Nepp. Tell your sister I'll keep the secret." Mayor Mellow winked at him before walking off.
"What..." Larry said as he watched the mayor walk off.
The End!
Hope you guys enjoyed!
