I've Had A Funny Feeling About You -- A Starkid Story

Announcements and Not-Dates

“Viv, come on, we're going to be late for the meeting!” Trina shouts to me from the living room.

“Two minutes!” I shout back, slipping on my headband and ignoring the fact that she and Ali are the reasons that we are going to be late.

I have been living with Trina and Ali, and have been a part of Team Starkid, for a little over a month now and this is the first mandatory meeting that the Langs have called for us all. I mean, they've brought us over to the mansion for parties and fun group time and what not, but they seemed serious when they called each of us on the phone. The only people not worried seemed to be Darren and A.J., who refused to tell me or Ali what was going on.

“It's a surprise, Vivi,” they kept saying whenever we asked. This usually results in us throwing the nearest object at them with as much love as possible.

Over this past month, Darren and I had become closest, along with Brosenthal, Moses, and I. Before them, I don't understand how I knew what true friendship was other than Ali.

Finally ready, I put on my sandals and join Trina and Ali in the living room. We rush to the car and then speed to the mansion. Thankfully, because of Trina's Grand Theft Auto style driving, we make it there with two minutes to spare. Ali jumps out of the car with Trina and I right behind her. We run into the mansion and I sit next to Moses quickly. As of right now, the Langs are no where in sight. Moses examines me, amused.

“Thought you were going to be late?” he asks, leaning back on the couch.

I nod. “Apparently Ali and Trina's version of a quick shower is half an hour each. I had to move fast to actually make sure we made it here on time and I'm exhausted.”

He laughs and pats his shoulder. Not needing another indication, I grin and rest my head. It doesn't last long, though because soon Nick and Matt are entering. They sit in the two center chairs and everyone's focus is instantly drawn to them.

“Hey guys. Thanks for coming today. We've got a lot to discuss,” Nick says. “Lately, Matt, Darren, and I have been trying to put the final touches on our next big project, with a lot of help from Holden and A.J., of course. Most of you guys have probably heard us talking about it at some point or another or maybe have even requested it.”

Lauren's head pops up excitedly. “Wait a minute...You aren't talking about --”

“A Very Potter Sequel,” says Matt with a grin. “The script's done, the music is fantastic, and we've been working with Britney and Denise on getting choreography done for it. We just need the okay from all of you.”

“So what do you guys say?” asks Nick, hopeful.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Jaime agrees quickly. Lauren and Bonnie are quick to get on board.

“You already know my answer to it, Nick,” Darren grins. “There's no AVPS without Harry freakin' Potter.”

Dylan Saunders nods approvingly. “And Dumbledore has to make his reprise, you know.”

Soon, everybody is buzzing with excitement about picking up new roles and bringing back their old characters. I feel really out of place, but don't admit it because of how happy everyone else seems.

“Great!” Nick exclaims. “Matt's got the scripts. Let's get started in looking this over today!”

Matt passes out scripts to everyone and we are instructed to partner up. I am immediately grabbed by Moses, Brosenthal, and Darren but in the end it is Ali that wins me.

“Back away savages! She's mine!” she shouts at them. We both giggle and run into the kitchen to rehearse and possibly scrounge up food for ourselves. But this only ends up with sad results seeing as the Starkids still hadn't quite learned how to stock up their cupboards and fridge. We finally settle on top of the counter and flip through the script. Ali eyes me over the top of hers.
