Three Beauties and a Beat

Chapter Four: Handcuffs Make People Friends

"And that, my dear fellow singers, is how you manage to burn water." I said with a bow.

The three started to sarcastically clap.

"First she turns nachos to a slushie and now she burned water." Matty sighed.

"Not me, my best friend. And it was only a few times."

"A few!?"

"Hey do you hear that? It sounds like an elephant running." Outside, loud thumps were quickly making their way to our room. "Everyone get down!"

We all crouched behind the couch as the doors slammed open to reveal Mr.J, covered in sweat.

"Blake, Jaune, Matthew, Kotone-chan!" He yelled. And even when it's important, he still adds -chan...

"Yeah?" I stood up first and plopped myself on the couch. Today, I wore Rwby shirt, denim shorts, and sneakers. My curly hair was in a side braid and my glasses were slightly broken...totally not because I did.

"I have great news! You'll be releasing your first song in a week!"

"Woah, hold up. Why didn't we know earlier? And what's our group name?" asked Matty.

"Because, your song writer just finished yesterday and I have your name covered. It's..."

We all waited in suspense until a call came for me.

"Yellow?"

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothin' much. You?"

"I got a boyfriend."

"Really!? Awesome! What's his name?"

"His name is Damien."

"Aww! That's great, but I'm busy right now so..."

"Girl, I got you. Well, see ya! I can't believe we'll see each other next week!"

"I know right! Welp, I gotta go. Bye!"

"Love ya!"

I hung up with everyone giving me the strangest look.

"W-What..?"

"I didn't know Beast could be feminine." muttered Matty.

"I hate you too. Anyways, Mr.J what's our name?"

"There's no time for that! Hurry and follow me to the recording studio right now so you can start."

He grabbed me hand, I grabbed Jaune's wrist, he grabbed Matty's wrist, and he grabbed Blake's wrist.

Mr.J ran really fast, making all of us get bruises, especially me. I never thought I'd get a lotta bruises in such a short time...ah, sweet memories.

"Here we are!" He abruptly stopped, making all of us trip and topple over each other, I being the lucky one on the bottom.

"Christ, how heavy are you three..?" I said while hitting my teeth. Now I know how Altlas feels. They rolled off of one by one making my bones crack...a lot.

"Kotone-chan, you'll be the lead singer!" cheered Mr.J. Woah woah woah, wait. Me? I, Kotone Hark, will lead something?

"M-Me...? Are you sure? Maybe you are drunk..." slowly, I tried to creep out of the room, but failed miserably as Mr. J got his duct tape out. Damn him and his tape!

"I can assure you, I'm sober. And completely sane, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go duct tape a few people who hate each other together."

"Oh He-" before I could even continue, my wrists were already being duct taped together with Blake and Matty. Jaune just watched afar in horror and worry.
