Wassuuuuuuuuuuuuup! Hey guys, so here's the big Halloween Special (even doe it's not Halloween yet just going along with the months of the year that I started for them), hope you like it!
And thanks for reviewing guys!
And now to this week's song:
All About Us by He Is We feat. Owl City. (I cried when I saw the video. No lie guys)
Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance
I'll spin you around won't let you fall down
Would you let me lead? You can step on my feet
Give it a try, it'll be alright
Chapter 17- Scream Generation Part 2: BOO!
Max's P.O.V.
Ok, today's the day of the concert.
Like, I just wan to scream so loudly to relieve all my excitement. To let it all drain away.
Anyways, currently all of us, as in flock, Mason and Ari are at my house. Doing what? You may ask, well preparing ourselves of course.
Well, they are, Nudge and Ella are telling me to put my hair the same way it is on the costume cover, but i'm still denying. Id rather have my hair loose so that when i'm moving and dancing on stage I wont have to worry about my hair messing up. o3o
"No, Nudge, I already told you, i'm leaving it loose." I said aggravated.
"Come' on Max, your supposed to have it picked up to match." Ella said.
"No."
"Please?" they said in sync.
"No."
"PLEASE?"
"NO"
"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!"
"GOD DAMMIT, IF YOU GUYS DONT SHUT UP, ILL CUT YOUR HAIR OFF IN YOUR SLEEP!"
"*GASP!*" they glared at him, well Ella playfully, but still glared, and walked away.
"Thank you Iggy, I owe you." I said high fiving him.
"Don't worry about it." he said.
I then got went to my room and the costume on. I just left the legging out. Leggings not me you know?
Anyways, I slipped on the dress, and put on a lil bit of makeup. Its Halloween ill make an exception.
I walked out made my way down stairs. They were all ready in their costumes.
But, I didn't expect the costumes they were wearing. Well except for Nudge, her costume I expected.
Nudge was Lady Gaga, except for the blonde wig.
Iggy had a superman shirt, a cape, and jeans.
Gazzy, I think he was supposed to be Mario? I don't know. He had a shirt that said Mario, and a fake mustache. (AN: LOL)
Iggy, he was a cowboy. You know the classic, the hat, tight long sleeve shirt, plastic guns and a fake belt, and lastly, cowboy boots. But for Iggy, to top it all off, he painted one of those fake bloody injuries on his face.
Mason, he was werewolf. But his version at least. Fake teeth, fake ears, and he did something to his nails to make them look dirty.
Ari didn't really dress up; he just had this fake bloody thing on his face like Iggy had.
And then there's Fang, remember how in the previous chapter, he had gotten something that was so him that I had a smile on my face? Guess what that was?
A shirt that said "Dead Guy".
Well he was wearing that.
Ella, she had that girl from the Flintstones. Pebbles was her name right? With the fake bone in her hair, and the green shirt. But for pants she put on a pair of shorts.
With that said, I smiled at my crew.
They all smiled back with grins that said "We're Ready! Lets go show them who The Flock is." Cliché, that's what i saw.
"Max, I know we have 3 more hours left, but my mom wants me to take Angel trick or treating before we leave." Fang said.
"Sure"
"Wait, I want to trick or treat too!" All the guys except Fang said.
I eyed them. Are they ok?
"Why?"
"Max, you're never too old to get free candy." Gazzy said.
"Wow" I said making my way toward my kitchen. I grabbed a few bags and handed them to the gang.
We then left and made our way across the street, since you know Fang lives across the street. ._.
When we got there, he opened the door and waited there to make sure everyone came in. Mason seemed kind of hesitant; it looks like he was staring at Fang. Nut Fang looked utterly clueless and asked if he was going to come in or not.
Mason shrugged and walked in. I just watched and questioned what happened?
I shook it off so that my night doesn't get filled with pointless stuff.
I then heard little taps against the stairs and then saw a ball of blonde.
Angel.
Angel was dressed in the cutest costume.
Repunzel.
"Hey Ange." We all said. Mason just stayed quiet.
"Hi guys." She said smiling.
"MAX!" she screamed.
It's like she didn't notice me. Like seriously, I was standing in the open space, but she's 7 so, ill let it slide :D
"ANGE!"
She then started running and I crouched down and we met in a hug.
Then I saw a flash. Some one took a picture. I looked up and saw the culprit.
Mrs. Ride, of course.
"That's a picture i'm keeping." She said.
I smiled and let go of Angel.
"Ready to go?" Fang asked.
"Yea, leggo" I said.
As we started to leave, Mrs. Ride stopped us.
"I want her back by 8 Fang."
"Sure thing mom"
Then our trick- or- treating adventure had begun. ~
~[*]~
"Ok, that was I think way too many houses and way too much candy for a 7 year old." I said.
"Pffft, that was nothing Max, last year we nailed way more houses." Fang said.
"Whatever you say, but come one we have to get their before 9"
We all started to rush and we put our equipment into the truck (Fang's Dad is letting us borrow his truck for the night.)
-TIME LAPSE-
"Crap, we have 20 minutes left." Iggy said.
"Let's just tune these guitars okay, they're not that out of tune, so it'll be quick." I said.
After tuning the guitars, Fang and I did a quick vocal exercise.
We were now backstage. Waiting for our call.
"You're up guys." Señor Stage Guy #1 said. o 3o
We made our way to the stage, it being pitch black. Gazzy with his drum sticks, Nudge and Fang with their guitars, and Iggy setting up.
"Let's do this." I said.
Mason and Ari stayed back stage and watched it on that TV so that they can see our performance.
I also remember hearing Fang being excited to have his cousin see him perform and critique him in such since they haven't been together for a while.
I then heard the sound of curtains being pulled back. Then a beam of light had landed on me and, I being the one with dark make up on had decided to say one word to get them pumped.
"Boo." The crowd then roared with excitement as cracked a grin.
""Happy Halloween guys, hope you enjoy us" Fang and I said in unison.
We all grabbed our bandanas from Fang and tied them around our neck. Iggy's blue, Gazzy's green, Nudge's hot pink, mine red, and Fang's of course, black.
(AN: Brick By boring Brick by Paramore. I have an unhealthy obsession with Paramore, sorry Q-Q)
Fang, Nudge and Gazzy started off with an awesome beat. Then Fang did his little solo with the rest.
I then began to sing.
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
They were light strumming as Gazzy kept a steady beat.
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
They stopped all together while Gazzy kept that weird beat up.
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Oh ooh oooh oh oooh ooooooooh!
I was standing in front of Fang and dancing with a smile on my face. Him, a smile as well, but the smile showed something entirely different.
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Then the gang started to sing and so did the crowd. I then joined in later.
[x2]
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba
Then Gazzy ended us.
I was breathing deeply. What a perfect song to start us off. Why? Because, the crowd is cheering, that's why.
"Hey guys, let us introduce ourselves."
"Fang, our guitarist and male vocalist." He then nodded a smirk on his and strummed a chord. All the girls instantly began to swoon. Oh brother -.-''.
"Nudge our bassist." She waved with a girly smile on her face and she too strummed a chord.
"Gazzy, our drummist." Yo he screamed and played a couple beats.
"Iggy our sound effects and pianist." He nodded and did this weird sound effect on the keyboard.
Fang then grabbed the mike from my hand and spoke.
"And finally, Max, our female vocalist. She can do other things to, but were on a time limit so let's not get to into it shall we?" I then laughed and waved to crowd.
Gotta love Fang eh?
I then grabbed back the mike and spoke.
"Well since its Halloween, lets get this show started shall we?" I said.
"We shall!" the crowd roared back.
"This song is called Monster."
Then smoke appeared.
Cool :D
(AN: Monster by Paramore. Most of the songs in the story are from them. Sorry DX)
Nudge then started us off with a low solo.
Then Gazzy and Fang joined in as I started to sing.
You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning, not like we'd sink any further
But I let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching.
Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling.
I had written this with my old band, Lethal Whisper. ^^;
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours
Well you find your strength in solution
But I liked the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it
More music guys :D
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world...
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours.
I ended in a low note. Gotta love music eh?
As I was catching my breath, I took the opportunity to flash the rock sign. Unexpected but totally necessary.
Fang then grabbed the mike, he too breathless, I don't know for what reason. Rocking out to much are we? :3
"Thank you Max, but I think it's your turn to take the guitar." He said. This brought out even more screams from girls. Oh god XP
"Now, this song is called Animal."
(AN: Animal by Neon Trees. I know it doesn't seem him but it relates mostly to this event)
We all did this clap thing before we started playing.
Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid
You're never satisfied
Here we go again
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just A cannibal
And I'm afraid
I won't get out alive
I won't sleep tonight
He was staring at me when he sang this. I deeply tried to hide the blush. I mean just look at those lyrics :O
Oh oh
I want some
More
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of
My heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some
More
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart
Tonight
The crowd was singing along to some of the lyrics from before that they recognized. They were also dancing.
Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's getting heavy
And I wanna run
And hide
I wanna run and hide
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
And I won't be
Denied by you
The animal inside of you
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
The music had eased and then Iggy grabbed his tambourine and started doing this beat.
Hush, hush The world is quiet
Hush, hush We both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?
Whoa, I won't sleep tonight (Gazzy had helped him hold the note)
Here we go again
Here we go again (Gazzy)
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
Here we go again
"Here we go again "
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
"That was cool." I said into the mike closest to me.
"Yea that was." He said smiling. Like full blown smiling. o/o
"My turn." I said and gave Fang his guitar back.
"Ok how was that?" I asked the crowd.
They cheered and screamed for more. I was absolutely positively happy.
"Ok well, we have 2 more songs to play. Got to be home before curfew you know?" I said slightly laughing.
They laughed a long too.
Then a thought came to me.
"How many of you guys have ever heard of us or been to one of our concerts?" I asked.
Most of the room lifted their hands.
Brilliant.
"Cool, so we're not complete strangers."
Again, they laughed slightly.
"So what song you want us to sing guys?"
"WHERE THE LINES OVERLAP!" they screamed.
"Alrighty then."
(AN: Where the lines overlap by Paramore. Again, sorry for so much Paramore.)
Fang and Nudge started us off with steady strums.
Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
We stopped suddenly.
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Our beat then lowered in volume.
Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
Never making a single sound
I'm not used to it but I can learn
Nothing to it
I've never been happier
I then pointed the mike toward the crowd as they sang the next line.
"I've never been happier!"
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Nudge then started to strum and the Gazzy croshendoed from low to energetic.
Now I've got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling
You would sing it back to me
You would sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
I had a smile on my face. That was cool = w=
"Okay last song. This was chosen by our bassist Nudge had chosen for me to sing. She said she really likes it, so lets all make her day and lets sing this song shall we?!" I asked.
"YEA!"
"Its called Let the Flames Begin!"
(AN: Let the Flames Begin by Paramore. I know, another song from them, but I already told you I have an unnecessary obsession of them. Sorry D:)
Fang and Nudge started us off as Gazzy too joined in.
What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.
A memory remains just a tiny spark.
I give it all my oxygen,
To let the flames begin
To let the flames begin.
Oh, glory.
Oh, glory.
This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down.
This is what will be oh glory.
Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And I'll die searching for it.
I can't let myself regret such selfishness.
My pain and all the trouble caused,
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...
(Nudge repeats it a couple times… to lazy to count them :D)
This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it.
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down.
This is what will be oh glory.
Reaching as I sink down into light.
Reaching as I sink down into light.
This is how we dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it.
This is how we'll stand when,
When they burn our houses down.
This is what will be oh glory.
I'm proud to say Nudge had ended us off this time. :D
