BAPA One-Shots

End Of Beginning (Part 3)

Bose's POV:

As we all make our way into my house and down the basement stairs, I tried to stay calm, but deep down, I was really excited for us to start our first rehearsal. I didn't just want this for me, but for all of us. I feel that this is definitely a good thing for our school and for the rest of our fellow seniors.

As we reached the bottom, everyone else took a good look at our setup. I had it set up with the lead mic in the middle (duh), the drums right behind it, the keyboard next to it, and one mic on either side of the middle, and next to those mics: two guitars and a bass.

Me: "So, what do y'all think?"

Chapa: "This looks amazing, Bose. It's like we're actually making our way up to the stage."

Miles: "Well, in about a month, that'll become reality, and it'll be the best day of my life ever."

We all look at him like there was something wrong with that sentence. He sees our expressions.

Miles: "Uh, but of course, it won't be the best when we all go our separate ways after graduation."

Mika: "Right... and while it was fun to learn, I will miss you all."

Buddy: "Aww, we'll miss you, too."

He's the first one to hug Mika, then the rest of us do the same. After a few seconds, we pull away.

Me: "Alright, let's get down to business."

We all approach the stand, and we each take an instrument: Miles takes the drums, Buddy takes the keyboards, Chapa and Mika take the guitars; one Fender and one Gibson, and it's in their favorite colors: red and silver, and finally, I take the bass, in my own signature black and blue stripe color scheme.

Okay, I'm over explaining everything. The point is, we each took an instrument and we set it up. We made sure everything was in tune, in check, and all that. Once we were sure, i started us off.

Me: "You guys ready?"

Everyone Else: "Ready."

Me: "One, two, three, four..."

Miles starts us off with a drum beat, then the rest of us kick in with our instruments. I start the singing.

Me: 🎶Just one more year to cry, one tear drop from my eye...🎶

Skip the whole rehearsal

Once the last drum beat was finished, we were all done.

Me: "Alright, that was good. Nice job with the backup vocals, nice job with the synth, and you know, nice job overall. I think we got this."

Chapa: "Absolutely, though I think it wouldn't hurt to have another practice session tomorrow, if we can all make it."

Miles: "Ah, I wish I could, but dad asked me to help with preparing another meat carrot."

Me: "I thought that was only every 1,000 years."

Chapa: "I thought it was 10,000."

Miles: "Well, turns out they found a way to make more grow anytime they want."

Mika: "I wish I could help, too, but mom asked me to help her with some stuff around our house."
