Battle of the bands Chapter 30: Finals medley, a magic school bus fanfic

Well, it took a while, but this is the last chapter of my story. Please enjoy, and thank-you for staying by me through thick and thin, and for taking time to read my fanfic. Well, on with the last chapter.

It was time. The grand finale of the battle of the bands. What Drug-X had been preparing for their whole school year. "Okay, you guys." Tim began, "you guys are ready?" It was a few hours prior to the final match, and Tim was giving his friends a walkthrough for the finals. DA, Carlos and Ralphie nodded. "Good." Tim replied, "you need to go to Rupin Hall for your final match. I can't reveal too much, but we'll all be there for you." "Thank you, Tim." DA began, hugging him. "Yeah, man!" Ralphie added. "You've stood by us this whole time." Tim nodded at his friends. "Well, I'm happy I was able to help. You three will do fine." The three of them turned and headed to Ralphie's car. "See you guys there." Tim added. The three of them nodded and drove to Rupin Hall. After a couple of wrong turns, they made it to the hall. "You guys ready?" Ralphie asked. Carlos and DA nodded. "Well, remember, no matter what happens, were still winners." Carlos threaded his fingers through DA's and the two of them smiled at each other. "Let's rock this thing!" Ralphie screamed, opening the door and running into the hall. "You ready?" Carlos asked. DA nodded. "I am a little nervous..." She began. "It's going to be alright." Carlos replied. DA nodded and the two of them headed into the hall. It was full of people, some were eliminated bands, some were students and the rest, DA and Carlos hadn't seen before and somewhere there were speakers playing Sarah McLachlan's Possession. "You made it!" Wanda cried, running over to them. "Hey, Wanda." DA grinned. "Ooh! I am so stoked!" She squealed. "If you guys win! You'll get cash and maybe even a record deal!" Turning, she grabbed DA by the hand. "Come on, you weasly wimp." She added, towing her into the bathroom, "you're not in your Drug-X uniform!" Carlos had to laugh as DA managed to quickly blow him a kiss goodbye. "Where's DA?" Ralphie asked, coming up behind him. "Wanda stole her for a bit. She's getting a makeover." Carlos explained. "Well, I have to warn you, He who Must Not be Named just walked through the door." "Voldemort?" Carlos asked in surprise. "I thought he would still be in Hogwarts, glad he got my invite." "Carlos!" Ralphie groaned. "I meant Judd." "Well, he is a finalist." Carlos replied, "as much as I would like him to go into a deep dark hole and die, I have no say." The two of them watched in amusement as Judd started making out with Molly. "Wow... He moves fast." Ralphie laughed. Carlos was about to say something new, when someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning, they saw Phoebe. "I would like to present to you, Dorothy Ann Fields." She sidestepped and DA nervously headed over to them. Her long blond hair was tied into a ponytail, she was wearing a black skirt, purple tank top, boots and fishnet leggings. "Hey guys." DA nervously began. "You look amazing." Carlos began. "Well well well." A new voice replied. Turning, Carlos saw that Judd had abandoned his make out session with Molly and had made his way over. "Nice to see you, Dory." He scoffed. "Trying to make people think you're not pristine?" DA turned to look at Carlos and quietly snickered. That motion went over Judd's head. "Listen, Dory." He continued. "Don't call me that." She hissed. "Don't cry too hard when you're booed offstage." With that, he turned and walked away. Carlos was about to say something new, but the speakers stopped playing music and the lights dimmed. "Are you ready?" The announcer asked. The crowd responded by screams and cheering. "I'd like to introduce the judges!" The announcer continued. "Ms. Molly Cule, Mr. Archibald Seedplot and Ms. Valerie Frizzle!" The crowd cheered again as the three judges came onstage. "These judges are holding the key to success, but only one band may take it. Now I would like one member from each band to come up." After a bit of debating, DA and Carlos sent Ralphie up onstage. Judd and Janet were also up. "Now, I need the three of you to draw a number." The announcer continued, pulling out a bag. Once everything was said and done, the finals were ready to begin, starting with Galamorous. Heading onstage, Janet took a deep breath and sang:

Can I ask you a question, please?

Promise you won't laugh at me

Honestly I'm standing here

Afraid I'll be betrayed

As twisted as it seems

I only fear love when it's in my dreams

So let in the morning light

And let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?

Drowning in my loneliness

How long must I hold my breath?

So much emptiness inside

I could fill the deepest sea

I reach to the sky as the moon looks on

My one last year has come and gone

Time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red?

'Cuz I'm feelin' like I'll blame it on love
