Alannahs p.o.v.

An hour after the auditions, I finally got the rest of the bands numbers. I quickly mad them into my contacts, and put them in my favorites. By the first day of rehearsing with them, I was still in shock. This rehearsal, we were doing the last practice before the first concert, which was in Dublin, Ireland. That morning, I woke up at 7:00, and got ready. I had no idea what to wear, so I quickly called Angela over for some advice.
5 minutes later, Angela was there. "Thank god your here!!!! I need help putting an outfit together!"
"Don't worry! I have he perfect idea!" She said. Soon, I had a black dress with a lace back, and black doc martens. I put them on, and paired them with a long gold necklace with a gold triangle at the end, black hoop earrings for my first hole, smaller white hoops for the second, smaller black hoops for the third, and put a silver arrow through my double cartilage, and a trident through my triple cartridge.
"This is perfect. Thanks so much!" I tell Angela. "I think I might also wear it to the concert!"
"Great. Now let's go over to my place. I need help with an outfit as well."

An hour and a half later, everyone was ready and at my house. "Ok people! Time to go!" Screamed Diya. We all ran outside and jumped into my car. I turned the keys, and blasted rhcp. The first song that came on was Fight Like a Brave.
"All, you slingers and fiends hide behind your rocks! Put down your guard I'm not here to box! His is no show down, so put down your guns, you see it doesn't matter, where you come from! You could be a park ave, or from a park bench, you could be a politician or a ------ princess!" We all scream.
"Fight like a brave, don't be a slave, no one can tell you, you've got to be afraid!" We sing as we pull up to Anthony's house.
"I still can't believe it. This is crazy." says minna.
"I know. But, let's just calm down, and let's go NOT faint over rehearsing with the most amazing band ever." I say, and we get out of the car. Not hop, get. We want to look professional. I knock on the door and it opens right away. Anthony shows up and I smile. "Hey! Come in!" He says. His golden-brown hair swishes as he opens it more.
"Hey!" We say to the band.
"Hey!" Says John.
"What up?"asks chad
Flea just looks at us with a crazy smile on his face. Usual flea! Everyone gets up and we walk into the basement.
"Ok guys, this is the last practice before the concert for our I'm with you album. Who volunteers to pick us up to go to the airport?" Asks Anthony.
"I'd do it, but my car is pretty small." I say.
"That's ok! It's better if we have a small car. It's cooler." Says Flea.
"Good. So when do I pick us up?" I ask.
"Well, we were thinking we could all stay here for the night so it's not as annoying." Answers John.
"That's a great idea. But can we all drive home really quickly? We need to get our stuff." Minna tells them. "ok!" Replies chad and we quickly drive home and grab our stuff.
Ten minutes later, we are back and about to practice. We were doing The Adventures If Rain Dance Maggie.
"Lip stick junkie debunked the only one she came back wearing a smile" sings Anthony. He points to me, and I know that's my cue to sing
"Looking like someone drugged me they wanted to unplug me no one here is on trial it's just a turnaround." Anthony continues to sing with me for this, " "and we go, oh. Well and we go uh huh oh" "
...
"I said hey now. We've got to make it rain somehow. She told me to and showed me what to do she knows how to make it loud" he sings, and I sing it the second time. We keep going on like this throughout the song, while I play the guitar with john.

"Ok nice job everyone! Now we have one more song to do before we are done!" Yells Chad. It was obvious which one we were doing. It was the only one we hadn't done. Brendan's Death Song (😢 this song is so sad but I love it!). Anthony sings all of this song, because it was about someone they were really close to. He gave them their first gig, and then their first record. His name was Brendan Mullen. Everyone was close to him, but especially Anthony and Flea. It was Brendan's own birthday, the day he dies. October 9, 2009 it was a stroke. Anthony got a text message about Brendan's death on his way to rehearsing for the first time with the band for this album. When he got there, everyone was miserable. Basically, what happened, was they all just started jamming, and came up with this amazing, beautiful song. (True story!) for this my band just sat out and listened to the amazingness of the song.
"Well if I die before I get it done will you decide. Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive. Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive." ( just so you know, I'm going to write out the whole song, because it is amazing and beautiful.)
"It's safe out there and now your everywhere just like the sky. You are love you are the love supreme you are the rise. And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye.
"Like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone. And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead you I'm almost gone, and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong.
"We all cost when we were feeling lost its just a tide. Kateri cried the day her lover died, she recognized. Because ya gave her a life of real love it's no surprise. This nights are long but the years are short when you're alive. Way back when will never be again it was a tide. It's gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the line.
"Like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone. And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead you I'm almost gone, and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong.
"Come and get me.
Hey!

Hey!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
""Like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone. And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead you I'm almost gone, and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong.
"Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries, let me die so when it's time to live another son will rise.
"I said yeeeaahh! Yeeeaahh! Yeeeaahh! I said yeeeaahh! Yeeeaahh! Yeeeaahh!"
"Like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone, like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone, like I said you know I'm almost dead you know I'm almost gone" he sings and the song is over.
"That. Was. AMAZING!" I scream
"Thanks. This song is really meaningful to all of us." replies flea.
"Well, I think we're done for the day, lets pack up and have some fun!!" Yells Anthony. And that's what we do.
