The air was electric with anticipation as the crowd gathered to watch two competing bands take the stage. The tension between the two groups was palpable, but none could have guessed the secret connection that lay beneath the surface. As the lights dimmed and the first band took the stage, whispers rippled through the crowd. Everyone knew the second act was the one they had all been waiting for. The first group, led by a charismatic young woman, began their performance with a fiery energy that quickly ignited the audience...

"Are you ready?" Hunter shouted out, making the crowd scream.
"More than ready!" Luz shouted back, her voice filled with excitement as she started to sing the first lines of their new made song, Hunters drums, and Augustus bass, and Luz's electric guitar chimed in, as Willow the main vocalist started to sing.

"All this time and energy, one step away from victory..."

Luz's electric guitar, and Hunter's drums got louder at the chorus.

Why's it feel like I'm never enough"

"Poster child of sucking it up"

"I walk in and everyone runs" Luz sung in, smiling at Willow, strumming her guitar with Hunters drum set, letting Willow continue on singing.

"Gold star loser, punch to the gut"

"Kick me down I'm stuck in the mud."

"Always close but never the one"

"I'm just another runner up!"

Luz's electric guitar, mixed with Hunter's drums got a small solo for their own, letting willow take a small breath before she continued on.

Luz's long strands of hair fell in front of her eyes as she jumped around while strumming her guitar. Excitement flashed through her body, as her and her band continued on. She loved everything about preforming, the crowd screaming, the electric shock it gave her when she strum her electric guitar, Willow's soft but powerful voice, Hunter's skills on the drums, and how beautiful Augustus voice was when his lines came in.

"Hello Diary, not surprising, I got fucked over again"

"In second string now, don't feel a thing now, I'm backup last call friend"

"I'm in the corner, your bench warmer, sub me out in the last quarter"

"This is stupid, always losing, always stuck in second best."

Yet again, Luz's electric guitar, and Hunter's drums started again, at a faster more higher volume, Willow singing the main chorus once again, Luz chiming in on her line.

Luz's guitar was the only thing that was playing at the end of the song. She was disappointed it died down so quickly, how they were already done.

"Good job Willow" Luz chuckled, patting her friend's shoulder.

"Thank you Luz, you did so good, I love hearing your voice. Would you ever think of making a song one time, where you're the main vocalist?" Willow questioned as they paced up their stuff. Luz sighed, pushing away the sweat from her forehead from being on the heated stage for so long.
