"𝗢𝗞𝗔𝗬, 𝗦𝗢." Arabella starts. "Our practices are Thursday through Saturday at 1 and we have an hour to practice. That's not much time, so in our free time we need to be memorizing our parts."

"Okay, well it would helpful for us to have the music." Marlene points out. All the girls are in Arabella's room.

Her suitcase nicely tucked under her bed and there are no stray clothes around the room. Everything is perfectly organized the way Arabella likes it.

"Right." she says as she rushes over to her nightstand.

Despite having a very clean room, her drawers are not the cleanest.

"It's in here somewhere." After a second of digging she finally finds it. "Found it! Okay here you go. Drums for Mary, bass for Dorcas. and guitar for Marlene and Lily. Then here's my part."

A moment of silence overcomes them as they study their music.

"Can we hear how you envision it?" Mary asks.

"Oh, yeah. Duh. Okay so I was thinking an eerie vibe to start. And then I come in with:
I never trust a narcissist,
but they love me.
So I play ''em like a violin and I make it look oh so easy
With every lie I tell them, they tell me three..." she sings.

Once she's done all the girls are 100% on board with the song and they're ready to practice.

"𝗢𝗞𝗔𝗬 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗨𝗬𝗦' 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗖." Regulus says walking around the kitchen and living room and handing everyone their music. "I imagine it'll go something like..." he begins to sing the song and the boys' heads are nodding along.

"This sounds good, Reg." Peter says.

"Thanks, Pete. Glad someone appreciates my songwriting skills." Regulus shoots a glance specifically at James, who had been hounding him over writing a new song.

"Regulus, this'll be great!" James says, ignoring Regulus, "We can get started tomorrow."

Everyone nods.

"Now I'm going to bed." Peter says, standing and leaving.

Regulus and James follow to their own rooms.

Sirius and Remus linger behind.

"𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗔𝗗𝗗 𝗔 𝗠𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘." Arabella says, "To help add personality."

Stardust was practicing the next day. The entire band loved their new song.

"Ugh, this song will be so cool." Marlene says after they run through it again. "I love the, "if a man talks shit then I owe 'em nothing" it's so fun."

"haha thanks, I love it too." Arabella says with a smile.

They run through the song a few more times before their time is up.

"Okay what should we wear for the performance?" Lily asks.

"I don't know, I feel like the mood of the song is definitely a red lipstick vibe though." Arabella responds.

Marlene lights up, "Let's go shopping!"

The nearest mall is just a 10 minute walk away. On their walk, Marlene points out an ice cream store.

"Can we please get ice cream, Ara?"

Arabella sighs, "Sure, knock yourself out."

Marlene smiles like a kid in a candy store before proceeding to enter.

The interior of the shop is painted a pastel yellow and the door is on the left side of the store. On the right are a few wiry tables accompanied with napkins in napkin holders.

"Hello, what can I get for you guys today?" The guy at the counter asks. He has fluffy blonde hair and is wearing a yellow and white striped apron. His name tag read 'Ryder'.

"I'll have a scoop of strawberry in a cup please." Lily asks.

"Hello gorgeous, um i'll have whatever you chose in a cup." Mary winks at Ryder flirtatiously. He blushes and slightly sucks his head down.

Ara and Dorcas exchange a glance and roll their eyes.

"Anyway, i'll have the Rocky Road," Arabella says.

"Cup or cone?" asks Ryder.

"Erm, cup please."

"Great, anything else?"

"A strawberry cheesecake in a cone please." Marlene says after a few moments of pondering.

"Oh! I'll have the same please." Dorcas says.

"Right on." Ryder says, scooping their ice cream.

After they paid, the girls continued their way to the mall.

The mall- to sum up- was chaos. Stardust had no idea what they wanted to wear. Ara and Lily were slightly bickering about outfits, Mary and Marlene were off doing gods knows what, and Dorcas was trying to settle the peace.

"Why cant we wear red?"

"It clashes with my hair, Ara, you know this!"

"Lily, you look great in everything. Ara, cant you figure out a compromise?"

"𝗦𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗛𝗨𝗧 𝗨𝗣!" Remus groans from the couch.

"Yeah, mate, you're killing our bloody eardrums!" Peter called out.

"Never!" Sirius replied, cackling. He continued to belt out "All the Young Dudes" while making a sandwich for himself.

"Ugh, you're worse than Regulus." groans James.

"Hey!"

"You will literally belt out "Candy Store" in the shower, we can all hear you!"

"At least I sound good."

"Hey!" This time it's Sirius who says it. "I sound very good, thank you."

"Sure, darling." Remus says sarcastically.

"You boys just don't know what real singing is. Let me show you," Sirius starts as he struts into the living room. "There's a starman, waiting in the sky..."

The boys share a collective groan.
