After loading my suitcase into the cargo area, I bring the silver medal door down and locked it. I then typed in the code and enter the bus. I walk to the bunk area and swing my heavy backpack off my back along with setting down my ukulele case. In my backpack, there were a few things. My laptop, sketch book, and drawing tools were just a few of the things. I crawl into my bunk and rub my eyes, it's almost six. Since the drive is about seventeen hours, I decided to take a nap.
I crawl in and close the curtain, being back in this little bunk brings back memories of tour. I remember walking off school campus and onto the bus after telling everyone who I really was, I remember finally crawling into my bunk after a long day, I remember the throwing stuff at Dallons bunk at two AM when I couldn't sleep so I would have someone to talk to. This little area was my get away when the guys were being annoying, I love it. I slowly drift off to sleep.

"Syd wake up, we're having a band meeting." I hear Brendon whisper, he shook my shoulder lightly. I groan and open my eyes. I grab my phone and look at the time. 10:26, that means I got four hours of sleep. I swing my legs over the side of my bed and grab my ukulele case just in case I wanted to play after the meeting.
I walk into the back lounge and sit next to Dallon who smiles at my before looking back at Brendon who was holding his laptop. Brendon was wearing his glasses and was walking slowly back and forth. Kenny then walks in, almost colliding with him. He takes a seat next to me. I didn't notice earlier but Angie was here too. Brendon notices that we are all here and clears his throat.
"Alright everyone, we are here to talk about tomorrow's set." He says, pushing his glasses up a little. "So we need five songs. I kinda want to go newer but that's only me, what do you guys think." He says.
"Well, we have to use songs that require lead and rhythm guitar." Dallon says, sitting up slightly. "So maybe Miss Jackson, this is gospel, and Hallelujah could be three of the songs." He says. Brendon hums and starts typing stuff into his computer.
"Sounds good to me." He looks up and smiles at me.
"That leaves two songs left." Kenny says. "We could do Lets Kill Tonight." Kenny says.
"That could work, what about the fifth song?" He asks up, Dallon speaks up.
"I have an idea." He says looking over at me. "How about Syd plays a song on her ukulele, maybe Ballad Of Mona Lisa?" He said nudging me, I jolt up.
"Sounds good to me, how about you Syd?" Brendon says.
"That would be awesome." I said. "I'll need to learn it though." I clip open my case and take out my ukulele.
"You can do that." he sits down and starts typing again. He then hits a button and leans back. "There, AP has our set list now." He said smiling at me. "You are all excused." He said, everyone left except me and Angie. "Well except you Syd, let's get this song down." He walks over and sits next to me, setting his computer on the coffee table in front of us. "Ok so I want you to learn this song, when you're done just call me in and I can help you with the vocals." I nod and he kisses my forehead before leaving.
I start searching for the chords, Angie sighs and glares at me. "Aren't you like invading his privacy?" She asks, pointing at his computer. I snort.
"He left it here for me." I said, finally finding the right website. "There we go." I whispered clicking on the song title. I strum to see if my ukulele is in toon before reading the first note. I put my fingers down it the formation for the first note and start strumming.
Angie sighs a couple minutes into my learning. "Can you not play as loud, I'm trying to relaxing here." She says.
"Well you could go to the regular lounge, Brendon's over there." I say not even looking up from the screen or stopping my playing.
"Why don't you go out there." She says, are you being serious?
"Listen, I'm just gonna keep playing at this volume. If you're not okay with that, you can leave." I say. "I'd be totally fine with you leaving." I stopped playing and looked at her. She sighs and gets up, I win. I continue to teach myself until I fully learned in ten minutes later.
"Hey beebo!" I yell out, waiting for a response.
"Yes Syd?" He yells back.
"I learned it!" I shout back, he lets out a little 'woo hoo'. He then walks in and closes the door.
"Let's get these vocals down." He said, sitting next to me.
