It's now Saturday and all the boys are at Jay and Alec's house. They were currently having a band meeting in Jay's room.

"So, since this is our first official band meeting, we have some things we need to discuss," Jay said.

"What things?" Vinny asked.

"Ya know, what genre of music we are going to play, our band name, looks, etc," Jay told the others.

"Uh, before we do that, do you mind telling me who that guy is?" Alec asked, pointing at Zach.

"Oh yeah! Alec, Jay, this is Zach. I met him at McDonalds," Vinny said as he introduced them to each other.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business," Zach said.

"First things first, the genre of music."

"NO POP MUSIC!!" Vinny yelled. "I DO NOT WANT TO BE A CLICHÉ BOYBAND LIKE ONE DIRECTION!"

"I thought you liked One Direction?" Jay asked.

"Shush my child. I do like them But I don't want to become like them."

"How about a pop-punk band?" Alec suggested. Everyone agreed.

"Next thing we need to discuss is our image."

"BAND TEES AND SKINNY JEANS!" The four yelled at the same time.

"YEAH! WE'RE PUNK ROCK!!" Vinny yells.

"No, we're not," Alec says.

"Not yet, at least," Vinny says. The other two boys roll their eyes.

"Anyway, next we need to talk about who plays what in the band," Jay says. "I'm obviously the drummer and the idiot next to me is the guitarist," He adds, pointing to Vinny.

"Bassist," Zach said.

"And Alec is the next Alex Gaskarth," Vinny says.

"Stop saying that!" Alec exclaims.

"Well, you do look a bit like him," Zach says which makes Vinny cheer.

"Whatever," Alec mumbled.

"Anyway, we need to come up with a band name. Any ideas?" Vinny asked.

"Zach and the Burritos," Zach said.

Alec scoffs. "That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard."

"How about Los Mexicanos?" Vinny suggested.

"People will think we are a Mariachi band and frankly, I don't feel like performing in Spanish," Jay says.

"My Chemistry Romance," Jay said. The others glare at him.

"Dude, I love My Chemical Romance and I do not want to get sued by them," Zach said.

"Rest in peace My Chemical Romance, rest in peace," Vinny randomly cries.

"THEY DID NOT BREAK UP!" Alec yells. "THEY ARE STILL TOGETHER IN MY HEART!" The others face palm.

"How about team inspires?" Alec asks.

"Interesting, but what if we don't inspire people?" Vinny asks.

The boys sighed, they couldn't think of a band name that was right for them. The four began to pace around the room and think of any ideas. As they were about to give up, Alec laid his eyes on Jay's necklace. It was a simple silver moon necklace that Alec had gotten Jay for his birthday. The boy was in love with the moon so he thought it would make a pretty nice gift. That's when he got the idea.

"Silver Moonlight," Alec blurted out loud. The other's looked at him.

"What?" The others asked, clearly confused.

"Silver Moonlight," Alec repeated. They all stood quite for a moment before Zack spoke up.

"I like the name," He says. The other two agree.

"How did you come up with that?" Vinny asked. Alec points to Jay's necklace. The other's nod and smile.

They finally had their name and were ready to start their band.
