_______________________

-Annette's POV-
It was breakfast, and everyone was chatting excitedly. People were asking many questions: how I found Aion, how he randomly transformed into a Dark Monster, and what we did to call him down. It wasn't until President Maple started talking on the phone that people actually calmed THEMSELVES down. "Hello? Yes? Yes I know. NOBODY CARES! Oh. My. God. YOUR ON YOU SUCKER!!!" A few people laughed awkwardly, but nobody dared to ask what went on in the phone call. "Plasmagica! Great news! I just accepted a Battle of the Bands request with Criticrista!" Me and Cyan gave each-other confused glances. "Criticrista?" I think they were that one band I never used in my game. "You haven't heard of them?" Retoree asked. "They are an extremely popular group of middle school girls who are contracted to THE Unicorn Virtual Studios!" I gave a faint shudder at the mention of UVS. That was the creepy portal that got my stuck in this mess! "So, they are like elites?" "Exactly!" Moa said, chirpily. "And I have a new song to guarantee us a win!" Chuchu explained! We each got a sheet of music, and went to our rooms to practice our parts.

-timeskip of laziness and boredom-

The tune seems boring. There is absolutely no way to throw your soul into it. "This sucks! I could write a new melody IF I KNEW HOW TO! IM A LYRICIST I CANT DO THIS! AAAAAAUGH!" I rolled around my bed in complete annoyance. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said in a slightly depressed voice. I could already tell it was Aion, happier than he was yesterday. "Are you okay?" That was when it clicked. Aion writes melodies! This is perfect! "YES! YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO I NEED RIGHT NOW! Can you help me with a melody, pleeeeeeease?" Aion gave me a confused look, probably because I was begging a lot. "Okay?" "YAY!" This was going to be fun.

-Cyan's POV-
I had to have Strawberry Heart, or Mr. Berry as I like to call him, explain the full process of a Battle of the Bands. The term was confusing, but the actual concept was simple! I wonder if I could do anything to make some parts of it better. Knowing Annette, she is probably figuring out guitar and bass, so I'm going to work on backup guitar and drums! Then we can compare ideas, and it will be perfect!

-MORE TIMESKIPS-

-Annette's POV-
We are going for sound check. And THE ONLY PERSON I COULD EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO WAS CYAN!!! WHY????? Our ideas are good, but I just can't get it!  That was when I heard Criticrista's sound. They were amazing! I was almost jealous. Chuchu seemed clearly irritated. "Oh, hi! We are the other band, I'm-" the lead singer interrupted. "Oh, we know who you areee~" HOW DOES SHE DO THE HEARTS??? She pointed to each member as she said their name. "Your Chuchu, Moa, Retoree, and the new members Cyan, and Annette!" "She really does know about us!" Moa said. Retoree was being oddly quiet. The lead singer winked, AND MADE MORE FREAKING HEARS APPEAR SOMEHOW!!! "My name's Rosia, and in the lead guitar and vocalist!" Then, the other members went one by one. "I'm Holmie, and I play the base." "I'm Jacklyn, and I play drums! How goes it." And another question: WHY DOES JACKLYN REMIND ME SO MUCH OF JULIE???? The final band member introduced herself. "My name's Tsukino, and I play keyboard! Bean paste is my favorite!" Rosia laughed and started joking around with Tsukino, but I payed no attention to their discussion. Jacklyn's resemblance to Julie was almost scary. Without a word, we did sound check, and went to the band room.

-Retoree's POV-
Those girls are amazingly tight, while I still feel invisible next to the other girls. I mean, Cyan is kinda nice and adorable, but she seems to enjoy Annette's company more. I'm always the quiet one who can't speak up. Maybe we don't have a chance. We aren't. We never do. Oh, look at me. I'm getting negative. Hell, I could even become a Dark Monster and nobody would notice. I wonder if Aion was the same way. But we are going up soon, and I'm just not gonna waste my breath.

-Annette's POV-
We were going up any minute now, and I'm nervous! Everyone is really good! If I don't speak up now, we are as good as dead! Chuchu tried to pick up everybody's mood. "Don't worry. We will crush them!" Retoree finally started talking. "That's what you think. I'm leaving, but once you loose, those dreams will die in a distant memory." "Don't say that, Retoree! You'll jinx us! Retoree? Pyuruu?" Right before Retoree could leave, Cyan slammed a cord, cutting her short. "I'm sorry." Cyan smiled. "I think me and Annette have something to tell you."

-TIME SKIP FOR FREAKING PLOT CONVENIENCE-

Alright, here we go! We began the song really well, for a first try. "I think me and Annette have something to tell you." Cyan said. Oh, right, the sheet of new base notes. "What do you think of these?" Once Retoree saw them, she smiled! "You mean like this? It's perfect!" It was awesome! Thank you Aion! We wouldn't have that without your help. Next up was where Chuchu had to work harder. Cyan continued on with what she was saying earlier. "Chuchu, do you think these notes are good?" the bunny smiled upon seeing this. "Yeah! and I could do this to give it a boost!" It appears Chuchu wasn't the only one, because Cyan added a little surprise as well. Now your up, Moa! "I want to add something new, too!" Cyan gave Moa the sheet of suggestions, and she instantly ran to her drums to test it out. "It's perfect!" It worked great on stage, too! And everything else was also a ball!

When we finished playing, the audience roared with applause. We were amazing. But I guess it wasn't enough. The votes rallied, and we were really close. But Criticrista beat us to it. "Oh, that's too bad. I thought you'd win for sure!" It was clear how fake Rosia sounded. However, it wasn't anyone else's fault. We just had to practice the newer routine more. But it was clear that the battle wasn't over.
