Battle Of The Bands

Chapter 4

Chapter 4.

Chase's POV.

"Guys, we have to work hard to win this. Perry just handed me this." Bree told us, holding up a envelope before continuing. "We have challenges for each round which each has a certain type of music. This one is "Throwback Jams" which means a retro song. I already know what the other contestants are doing, so let's just name some songs." Bree sighed, before groaning. "Adam! Did you not hear a word I said?!"

Then our brother pulled out his ear buds and looked at us. 

"Sorry, I'm listening to this cool song called Dream Police."

"Chase, look up the date." Leo insisted.

"That is not how my bionics are meant to be used!"

"Would you just do it, ya fun killer?" Bree demanded.

I glared at her before looking it up on my internet.

"1979, by Cheap Trick. A Rock/Pop/Punk band who-"

"Chase. That's enough. We just needed the date. Not all the boring extras." Bree told me before looking at Adam and Leo while discussing details.

"Kay let's start rehearsing." She told us as we started.

-Round 1-

"So, who are we up against?" Leo asked.

"California Keys. They are performing Don't Stop Believing." I told them as I looked at my older sister.

"Since a LOT of people know that song, we NEED to give it our all. Adam, stay focused."

Adam nodded just as Tara came over, holding her guitar case, just like last night.

"Hey, good luck guys."

"I thought you wanted us to fail." 

"Oh I do. But I wanna do it myself instead of letting someone as lame as California Keys do it. Who knows? Maybe if you win, I could convince my dad to let you back into Hollywood Records." She smiled.

"No way. Even if we could get back in, we wouldn't. We don't wanna be tied to your father's stupid contracts." I told her as she poked her finger at my chest again while saying.

"I said it once, I'll say it again. I don't have to break you up. You'll do it yourselves. So watch your backs."

She then flipped her hair and left, making Leo roll his eyes.

"Who does she think she is?"

"Yeah, and what does she mean by "We'll destroy ourselves?" What the heck does that mean?" My older brother asked.

"She just wants to get in our heads." I told them before we heard our names announced and we walked onstage.

"The dream police

They live inside of my head

The dream police

They come to me in my bed

The dream police

They're coming to arrest me

Oh no

You know that talk is cheap

And rumors ain't nice

And when I fall asleep

I don't think I'll survive

The night the night

'Cause they're waiting for me

Looking for me

Every single night

(They're) driving me insane

Those men inside my brain

The dream police

They live inside of my head

The dream police

They come to me in my bed

The dream police

They're coming to arrest me

Oh no

Well I can't tell lies

'Cause they're listening to me

And when I fall asleep

Bet they're spying on me tonight,

Tonight

'Cause they're waiting for me

Looking for me

Every single night

(They're) driving me insane

Those men inside my brain

I try to sleep

They're wide awake

They won't let me alone

They don't get paid to take vacations

Or let me alone

They spy on me

I try to hide

They won't let me alone

They persecute me

They're the judge and jury all in one

'Cause they're waiting for me

Looking for me

Every single night

(They're) driving me insane

Those men inside my brain

The dream police

They live inside of my head

The dream police they come

To me in my bed

The dream police

They're coming to arrest me

The dream police

The dream police."

We finished and everyone clapped and cheered, giving me that unstoppable feeling that I had when we were performing for thousands every night.

"The winner is..." Perry trailed off as she opened a envelope. "Not Another Boy Band!"

We all cheered and screamed in excitement, and I think I was the only one who noticed Tara glaring at us from afar.

"Round 1 of the slop artists will be starting after this. Remember to get your envelopes with your next challenge on the way out." Perry announced as we got off stage.

On the way out, Leo got our envelope.

"Ok, it says that it has to be a ballad. I can probably whip one up on the keys and Adam could probably play a slow drum beat."

"Chase and I can sing." Bree told him.

If only we knew what was gonna happen the next morning...

What is gonna happen the next morning? Will Tara beat Not Another Boy Band?

Thanks to TheUnknownBlock on fanfiction for the song suggestion. :)

Over and out.
