              “GETTING A BAND TOGETHER”

     “Slow down!” I said, or more like yelled, I was riding to his house in his Jeep, he smiled, and we pulled up in his driveway.

      I jumped out, grabbed my guitar, he grabbed my amp, he opened up his door, and we went down to the basement.

      I coughed “This is where we are going to be practicing?” I asked, coughing, he nodded.

       “Yep. We have to clean it first.”

       “No shit.”

       I jumped sky high, and looked over my shoulder to see a blonder guy walk up, he smiled “I’m Drax.”

       “Cass, this is my friend the singer, Drax, this is Cassidy, Cass for short.”

        We shook hands and I laid my guitar down on a old couch, then put my hands on my hips.

        “Well, I do clean my moms and dads house up all the time, and that’s a lot of work.”

        I studied it then said “I need a duster, broom, mop, and almost any cleaning thing there is.”

        Cayde went to get it all, and I started talking with Drax.

        “It’s so dusty down here” he said “Does he ever clean?”

        “No, you should see his room, it looks like it belongs to a pig instead of him.”

         He laughed “That’s funny, probably as gross as mine.”

          “Possibly.”

          He looked at me “How long have you know Cayde?”

        “I’ve known the beanstalk in there for as long as I can remember, he is like a brother to me.”

    “I’ve known him ever since middle school.”

    “How old are you?”

    “Twenty three.”

    “I’m nineteen, you’re a year younger then Cayde.”

     I tried moving a heavy old bookcase out of my way, he came over and grabbed the other end “Yep, and as you can already, possibly, tell I’m better looking.”

     “Very funny” came a voice at the door behind cleaning supplies “Now can you give me a hand?”

     We both clapped, he laughed “Very funny” then he mumbled “Smartass.”

     I giggled like a five year old, then went to help him.

     “Hey, do you think we will need another electric guitarist, you know on some songs…” Drax paused.

      I huffed “No. I can do it.”

      Cayde chuckled “Cassidy is, well, when she sets her mind to something, she can do it.”

       I nodded “And I will rock those judges ancestors silly” then “..er, we will rock them.”

       We laughed, and got to cleaning.
