The next day, Vinny goes to McDonald's after school. He orders his food and goes to find a seat because the place was a bit packed. As he was finding somewhere to sit, he sees a boy in the back booth playing around with his bass.

An idea came ro Vinny's mind. He could ask the boy to be their bassist! Before he could make his way towards the boy, his name was called. He quickly grabbed his food and made his way towards the boy.

"Can I sit here?" Vinny asked. 

"Uh, okay." The boy responded, awkwardly. Vinny slipped into the booth.

"So, you play the bass?" The boy nodded, still a bit awkward. 

"Yeah. I used to be a bassist in a band that I was in, but they kicked me out."

"My friend and I are thinking of starting a band but we need a bassist. Would you like to join?"

"Sure," The boy shrugged.

"Great!" Vinny yells. He finished his food and gets up to leave. Before he does, the other boy stops him.

"Don't you wanna know my name and number?" The guy asks.

Vinny blushes in embarrassment and nods.

"I'm Zach"

"Vinny" The two exchange numbers and plan to meet up at Jay's house on Sunday.

That night, Vinny goes to Jay's house to tell him the news.

"Wassup Mama Monroe!" Vinny yells as he enters his friends house.

"He's up stairs!" She yells back. He runs up the stairs and to Jay's room, jumping onto the boys' bed in the process.

"HELP! I'VE BEEN ATTACKED BY A WACK-A-DO!!!!" Jay yells.

"THAT IS A LIE!" Vinny yells. "I DID NOT ATTACK YOU! SAY SORRY, PEASANT!"

Jay shakeshis head and mumbles, "Sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with you."

"Because I'm awesome and and the only other Mexican you know!" Jay laughts.

"Why are you here, stupid?"

"I have some exciting news!"

"What is it?" 

"I found us a bassist!" Vinny yells.

"How?" Jay asks.

"I went to McDonalds and saw a guy playing the bass. Long story short, I asked him to be in the band and he agreed.

The other boy was suprised. He never thought that his friend would actually fing someone to join the band.

"We still need a singer," Jay points out. That's when they heard a voice singing. The two boys decided to see who thatvoice belongs to. They ended up walking into Alec, Jay's younger brother's, room.

"It's like I'm sleepwalking." Alec singd as he strums the last chords to the song. Jay and Vinny clap for him. 

"I never knew you could sing, Lexi." Jay says. The younger boy shrugs. 

"You never asked." 

"What is it with the two of you saying that?" Vinny asks.

"Shut up," The brothers say in sync.

"Anyway, so this idiot decided that we should start a band but we need a lead singer. You wanna do it?" Jay askes.

"I don't know guys," Alec says. "I'm not a good singer." Vinny snaps his finger.

"Boy, what did you say? My ears must be dirty because I know you did not just say that you are a bad singer! Dude, you're voice is just as amazing as Alex Gaskarth's voice!" Vinny yells.

"What's with you and comparing me to Alex Gaskarth?" Alec asks.

"You remind me of him. Now shut up and take my complement, peasent." Alec laughts.

"Okay."

"Okay?" Jay asked.

"Shut up. This isn't The Fault in Our Stars, I an not Hazel Graze and you are definitely not Augustus Waters."

"Of course you guys aren't. They're better than you." Vinny points out. 

"Shut up. But yeah, I'll join your band."

The two best friends cheered. They finally had all the members.
