Battle Of The Bands

Chapter Twenty Two

"So dudes, what are we gonna title this EP if we actually get in the bottom two?" Bert asked. 

"Let's brainstorm," Alexander said. 

"Are we gonna write them down?" James asked. 

"Sure." 

Each boy grabbed a notepad and a pencil. They scribbled things down and looked up at each other. 

"Who wants to say theirs first?" Alex asked.

"I can," Aaron said. "CAUTION. Like in all capitals."

"Ooh, me likey," Chad said. "I actually didn't have anything written down, so yeah."

"Me either," James said grinning.

"I wrote a couple things down," Bert said. "Just The Beginning, Here We Go, and Long Story Short."

"I got three as well," Alexander said. "With Feeling, Dream Big, and Total Warning."

"Those all really sound great," Aaron said.

"But I like CAUTION the best," Chad said and James agreed.

"I really like Long Story Short," Bert said. "Maybe if we win this thing it can be our first album name."

"True," Alexander said. "Its settled then. CAUTION is our EP name."

"Maybe we should write other songs just in case we win this thing," Alexander said nonchalantly. "I mean, we do have a big chance of winning."

"Perhaps," Chad said with a grin.

The boys grinned at each other. "Shall we?"

"We shall."

They boys came up with eight more songs for the album.

It was the night where they would sing to go down to two bands. And the boys didn't even know what they were going to sing. "What are we singing?" Chad said frantically. They had an hour until the performance.

"I wonder if we can sing a song we wrote," Aaron suggested. "Let's go find Toby and ask him."

"Good idea." They walked around the mansion and finally found Toby.

"Hey boys," he said, smiling. "What are you doing here?"

"We were wondering if we could perform a song we wrote."

"Not yet. If you guys make it to the finale, you will," Toby told them. 

"Ah fine."

The boys turned around to leave, but Toby said, "Wait. Tomorrow, if you guys make it, there will be a photo shoot."

"What for?"

"EP cover and just a photo shoot," Toby said. 

"Noted," James said. "Thanks."

"Let's quickly pick our song," Alexander said as they walked away. "And it has to be something really powerful so we can get a spot in the finale." 

"Let's suggest songs," James said. 

"Unchained Melody," Alexander said.

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," Bert said. 

"If Today Was Your Last Day," Aaron said. 

"You're The Inspiration," Chad said. 

"Can't Fight This Feeling," James said. 

"Those are all good songs, but I personally like the one I said," Bert said. "Maybe we should listen to them and then pick."
