As the Hypower Eleven arrived back at their home stadium, and their lofts, they spent no time wasting to rush back to their lofts.
As Uno and Denise arrived at their loft, Uno bolted to his study, with Denise in tow to make some music.
"Guitars first? Or some piano?" Uno asked Denise.
"Maybe we work on the vocals first, then we work through the instrumentals," Denise suggested.
Uno nodded in approval. "Good idea. Let's start with the chorus you were working on."
Denise began practicing her vocals, warming up with scales and a few favorite songs. Meanwhile, Uno brewed some tea and got some water for their vocals. He handed a steaming mug to Denise.
"Thanks, love," Denise said, taking a sip. "This will help."
Uno smiled and pulled up Soundtrap on his laptop. "Alright, let's record those vocals first. Ready?"
"Ready as ever," Denise replied, standing in front of the microphone. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to sing. Her voice was clear and resonant, filling the room with melody.
Uno nodded along, his fingers tapping the rhythm on the table. When she finished, he hit the stop button. "That was perfect, Denise. Let's layer that with some harmonies."
Denise nodded, recording a few more takes with different harmonies. Uno adjusted the settings and mixed the tracks, adding subtle effects to enhance her voice.
"Now, let's add some piano," Uno suggested. Denise sat at her keyboard, playing the chords they had discussed earlier. Uno recorded the session, nodding his approval as the music flowed.
After the piano was done, Uno picked up his guitar. "Your turn to sit back and relax," he said with a grin.
Denise laughed, sipping her tea. "Show me what you've got, rock star."
Uno strummed a few chords, then launched into a melodic riff that complemented Denise's vocals perfectly. He recorded several takes, experimenting with different sounds and styles.
"Alright, I think we've got enough for now," Uno said, saving their work. "Shall we have some dinner?"
"Absolutely," Denise agreed. "I'm starving."
They headed to the kitchen, where Uno whipped up a quick pasta dish while Denise set the table. They sat down together, enjoying their meal and chatting about their day.
"So, do you think the team will like our new demo?" Denise asked between bites.
"I hope so," Uno replied. "We've put a lot of work into it."
After dinner, they cleaned up and got ready for bed. Denise curled up with a book while Uno strummed his guitar softly.
"This is nice," Denise said, glancing up from her book.
"Yeah, it is," Uno agreed, smiling at her.
They eventually fell asleep, ready for the next day of football practice.

The next morning, Uno and Denise arrived at the training grounds for practice. Uno, in his usual blue suit and necktie, gathered the team together.
"Alright, everyone, gather around," he called out. "I've got something special for you all today."
The team, including Lance, Angelo, Matt, Maury, Lorenzo, Meric, Sherwin, Vincent, Matthew, Tristan, Olivia, Jada, Avva, Zoey, Dara, Acel, Yani, Jea, and Kate, gathered around, curious.
