Roger Water's POV

"Alright, ladies!" I shout, "It's time that we all put our heads together for this year as a whole. We've already done our first dance of the year, we've done the first theater production, but as we all know, this is just the beginning of the school year."

Ray Davies raises his hand, so I call on him to speak, "Well, Roger, I think it would be great if you could enlighten us on what some of your big plans for the school year are going to be!"

I scoff at his silly, uninformed comment, "Well, historian, it's your job to know how we've done these things in the past, isn't it?"

"No," he smirks, "My job is to take pictures for future posterity. For historical reference, if you will. So, don't be telling me how to do my job when you don't even know what it is!" Hmm, well played, Ray...

I cough and pretend to go on unfazed, "Okay, um, anyways, my underlings, I mean uh," crap, now they are all looking at me weird, "I mean fellow student council members; the time has come for us to discuss the year as a whole."

Freddie says, "You already said that, darling."

Yet again I find myself completely caught off guard. Ugh, how can I be blowing it this bad?! I am the strong leader here, I can't appear to be a failure...

"ALRIGHT, FELLOW STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS!!" I shout. Whoa, why was that so dramatic? Dammit, now I'm downright panicking... "Let's do a bake sale!!"

Stevie gently raises her hand and asks, "Um, I like the idea of cookies and treats as much as the next person, but what would we be raising money for?"

Again, I begin to freeze, "Madam secretary!" I yell at Peter Gabriel, "Hand me your paper," and, easily enough, he hands it over. After examining the document  I say, "Okay, he just wrote bake sale... brilliant!"

Peter Gabriel replies plainly, "Well, I would've written down more if I actually had something worth writing down!"

Before I can speak, Stevie stands up and declares, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! I think the whole tone of this meeting needs to be taken down several notches. So, how about we all breath," and she takes a deep breath, obviously encouraging the rest of us to do so too, "And think clearly now. We are thinking of doing a bake sale to raise money for something, but we aren't sure what to raise money for. Now, this is a simple problem to solve, as we just need suggestions for something to raise money for, so, suggest away!"

Freddie claps his hands, "Excellent, darling! I'm glad you were able to finally gather us all together!" He scratches his chin, trying to stimulate some ideas of something.

Brining everyone together- That's supposed to be my job! Damn you, Stevie Nicks!

"How about we raise money for something for the school?" David suggests, "They are always talking about improvements, and it would look really good to have the student body purchase something for the whole school."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," John Bonham says, "It sure would look good in the eyes of the school authorities!"

Sting begins, "Yeah, but should every motion we make be done just to please our superiors?" Hey, this Sting kid knows what he is talking about...

Freddie asks, "You make a fair point, so do you have any other suggestions?"

"I don't know, perhaps some sort of outreach?" he smiles, clearly proud of his quick idea. Hmm, I suppose I'll just be sitting around while these guys deliberate on an official idea.

This meeting has completely fallen out of my control...

I am the president of this school! I should be coming up with all of the ideas!
