Roxane yawned. "Well I'm bored! You guys think we should practice?"
George shrugged. "Can't really drum......."
"You don't need any practice!" Jen yelled at him. This began a heated arguement about how playing the drums was really much more difficult than Jen thought. It lasted a long time, half-siblings screaming thier lungs out at eachother.
In trhe midst of all this, Roxie had pulled out her guitar and started playing random chords. She then broke into the hardcore punk rock version of "99 red baloons" and the half siblings shut up. Jen pulled out her bass and added to the music, singing harmony where she saw fit.
Towards the end of the song no one played and Roxanne sang Accapella (which Zi cannot spell). "99 dreams I have had" she sandg much slower "In everyone a red balloon. It's all over and I'm standin' pretty--"
George screamed "HARDCORE DRUM SOLO!" then the girls started playing again. Both sang "In this wreck we call a city!" at a much faster pace. "If I could find a suvinere, just to prove the world was here. And here is a red balloon--"
"I THINK OF YOU AND LET IT GO!" George screamed, as he pounded a beat on the steering wheel.
Roxanne and Jen broke into the chorus of "Ohs" and the song ended with a cheer from all members.
"Sweet!" Jen exclaimed, "That was so awesome! I didn't even know you knew that song Rox!!"
Roxanne shrugged, "I've heard my share of old songs. I was surprised you knew the german parts."
"Can I sing the german parts for a solo?" Jen asked excitedly, "It would be really cool!"
"Sure," Roxanne replied happilly. It was really cool when a band could just rock out with out prior practice.

As Anna was driving, Teluna had to sing the words as she and Parli practiced, though she did little more then mumble them and she managed to create unbelievable music with her guitar.
"Theres a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold," Teluna sang softly. "And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed, with a word she can't what she came for."
Parli's violen followed the words up with a sweet melodious sound that rang with Faerie magic. Teluna plucked the same melody on her guitar as she and Parli harmonized on the 'oohs' and 'ahs' of the song.

Zi snickered. Somehow Troll Bone did better in comparison.

((And don't write in passive voice. It's a weakness in your writeing style. Instead of writing As Anna was driving, write: As Anna drove. Its better, and less wordy))

Brialla Morningstar was up with the morning as usual and busy puttering around their groups tour bus. Well so it was a small tour bus and they had not driver, but at least it was a step up from the camper buses some small bands had to use. But of course Brialla had wealth of her own to pay for things that The Shining's performance pay would not cover.
"Mar! Alex!" Bri called back into the bud from the steps. "Time to get up. Today is a good day!" She called and heard an answering groan from somewhere in the depths of the bus. "Now none of that Alex I've already let you both sleep in." She called back.
"Two hours after dawn is not sleeping in." Replied a grumpy looking Marlesia as she emerged from her cabin and walked towards Bri. "I've got to stretch, two days of travel have my wings in knots!" Complained the black-eyed beauty.
"Well it's your fault you're still tired for driving all night. We didn't have to be anywhere at any real time." Bri retorted good naturedly. "Be careful I've scouted and didn't see any humans but I'd recommend not flying above tree level." She added as Mar passed her.
Nodding Mar slowly stretched one... two... three wings out to full reach and then settled them back in. "Only a short hop I think. Or I risk a muscle pull." She said and with that launched herself into the air and flew across the clearing, barely high enough that her feet stayed off the ground.
"Good, she's being careful." Alex said as he yawned sleepily from the bus doorway. His sleep shorts, as usual, clung to his hips and thighs in quite the suggestive manner. It was lucky for him both the girls were not into him as a guy. Besides both were over 3 times his age, and even if that made them near his equivalent human years it still meant he was human and they weren't. "I'm worried that she doesn't stretch them enough. I know she hates them but it's bad to ignore them." He added and Bri could only nod in agreement.
A moment later Mar was swooping up a bit higher as her wings loosened up and began functioning properly. And just as she felt they were once more in decent shape she landed. "That's enough." Was her only comment to Bri's raised eyebrow as she brushed past Alex, literally since her wings swept across his whole, mostly bare, body and sent him into a fit of laughter.
"Hey those tickle! Give me a chance to move next time will yeah." Alex mock complained as he turned to go back inside himself. "I'll get dressed. My turn to drive I think."
Brialla only smiled at her good friends antics and entering the bus closed the door behind her. A simple moments thought and the glamour that had made the off-road camping area seem empty was lifted and they were ready to leave when Alex was. Humming softly Bri went to make breakfast in the small kitchen in the back of the bus.

"Um, 'Luna," Parli said as they put their instruments away. "Why do we travel in a camper when we could travel in a beeg bus?"
"I like campers," Teluna replied. "And you really have to work on that accent." Her nose twitched as if smelling for something. She sighed after a moment.
"No fruit cake, I tol' you," Parli said with a smirk. "The store did not 'ave any."
"I need something to do," Teluna sighed, flopping down on the couch. She brightened up a little as an idea popped into her head. "I could leave mean messages on Eva's cell."
Parli shook her head and tossed Teluna the cell phone, knowing the sprite would carry out her plan with or without assistance.
~
Eva Blakline jumped at the vibration her cell phone caused in her pocket. Quickly she pulled it out and answered it, a scowl pasted across her face.
"Hello?" she asked, her voice laced with fake politeness.
"Hey, scum bucket, been backstabbing any good friends lately?" came Teluna's voice.
"Go to Hell, Charmsky," Eva snapped.
"How 'bout no? The Gov sent my mum there, ya' know."
Eva gritted her teeth. "Then go join her. Have a little family reunion."
"If I send cake will you go for me?"
"I hate you."
"The feeling is mutual. Anyway, I just called to tell you how much I'm looking forward to playing this gig without you. Oh, and if you feel the need to send me a gift when FK wins the contest, send fruit cake." The line went dead as Teluna hung up. Eva snapped her cell phone shut angrily and shoved it back in her pocket. A few moments later it rang again at Eva answered with another fake polite hello. A German accent greeted her.
" 'ello, Eva, I jus' wanted to tell you dat eef you do decide to send us fruit cake, gas stations don' sell eet," Parli's voice was still sweet and friendly although venom was somehow also included in her tone.
Eva growled in frustration and hung up without replying.

"Hey stop the bus." Zephire said. "First of all it's not a bus and second why?" Ketrie said. "Look it's a gig we could play and they pay one hundred dolars exectly for each band member." they all looked and sure enough there was a sign that gave all the information. "What are we waiting for let's go!" They took there instruments in and talked to the manager there. "Well if your ready right now we put you on." He said. "Ok let's go." They set up there instruments and played a couple songs. "Ok this one is one we just learned and it's called sea of faces." "I see the city lights all around me
Everyone's obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care
And in Your eyes I can see
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine
Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow you still find the time for me
It's then You show me Your love
And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine
If only my one heart
Was all you'd gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason
To willingly offer your life
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine
Just one in a million faces." They were shrouded with applause.

"Need water." Tread said. "Shut up, Tread. "Rebel said. "You you can wait." "No I cant." Tread moaned. "Yes, you can" Galik said, in a rather commanding voice. And that was that.
