My mind wanders to Ratliff. He's been such a support. Ever since we met, he's been nothing but sweet. He and Rydel deserve each other. (#RydellingtonForever)

"Guys, can you keep it down? I'm trying to play my violin," I said. "Sorry, Reignbow-Cakes. We just met this awesome guy and he plays drums," Riker replied. "Oh," I said, knowing how much this meant to them, "Hi, I'm Rei. What's your name?" I held out my hand and he shook it. "Wassup! The name's Ellington!" he said excitedly.

"Cool. So, since you guys aren't going to keep it down, I'll go grab a snack. Do you guys want anything?" I asked. "Nah, we're good," Rocky replied. As I made my way to the kitchen, I noticed Ross standing in the doorway, watching our siblings and Ellington "perform". "Hey, Rossy," I greeted. "Hey," he said back, monotonically. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine," he said, as he finally turned his attention away from them and on me. I stole a glance at our siblings and Ellington, then looked back to Ross. "Are you jealous?" I asked. "What? No. It's just that... they would pick some dude we just met, over they're little brother. I mean, who does that?" he replied. "Why don't you just ask if you could join, you knucklehead?" I said teasingly. "I don't know," he started, "I mean, that Ellington guy is pretty good. I'll just leave it alone."

Before he turned to leave, I grabbed his arm and dragged him to the living room, picking up a guitar on the way. "Hey guys," I started. They all turned to look at me. "Can Rossy join you?" I asked. Ross looked at me with a "cut it out" face. "Umm, I don't know, Reignbow. Rocky's already on guitar," Rydel replied. "So what? Ross can do rhythmic guitar while Rocky plays lead," I argued. They still looked unsure. "Guys, she's right. Give the little guy a shot," Ellington said. Ross's eyes lit up. "Really? Thanks, man," he said. "No problemo, dude," Ellington replied.

As everyone started playing- Ross included- once again, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "You did good, Reignbow-Cakes," Ryland said. "Thanks, Ry," I replied. "So, I'm thinking merchandise, concerts, screaming fans, stadiums......" Ryland rambled.

"Ry, how about first a band name?" I asked. "Good point. What're you thinking?" he replied.

I thought about it and smiled, "How about...."
