"Shit, I'm gonna be late for the show!" I cursed looking at the clock after putting groceries away and cleaning up after dinner.

     The guys had already gone inside to start changing and putting on their makeup, which meant I was alone for the time being. Stealing away to my room, I picked up the remote for my massive sound system and started up my music as I got to work putting on my leather bell bottoms, and knee-high platform heeled combat boots. The tiny chains on my pants clinked softly as I picked up the top and tried it with my bra on. A dissatisfied sound escaped me as I saw the bra showing. Pouting, I took the top off and went to my bra drawer and pulled out a pair of nude silicon nipple pasties. Once they were on, I put my top on and started to lace it up in the front.

"There, now it's just my hair and makeup." I looked over myself and gave a satisfactory not at how the purple metallic polyester shimmered in the light in contrast to the black leather.

"Ava, shows about to start..." I heard a knock before Paul's voice followed by the door slowly opening.

"I'm about ready. Just doing my hair." I replied looking at him through the mirror on my vanity as I pulled my hair into a messy and curly ponytail. "You okay?"

"I, um. Yeah. Wow." Was all he managed as I quickly put on my purple and gold eyeshadow and dark red lipstick. Standing up, I dusted myself off and grabbed the matching clutch I had which held my jewelry.

"Well, shall we be going?" I asked. His jaw dropped open and I had to use a finger to close it. "Careful, you'll catch flies."

Paul blinked a moment before clearing his throat and nodding while following me out into the main area of the bus before we stepped into the humid night air. Once we stepped outside, I put my jewelry on as we entered the building. Gene greeted us not looking happy.

"Paul, we have a problem." he growled.

"What kind of problem?" Paul looked worried.

"They want us to do a meet and greet, but the stadium is already full." Gene crossed his arms. "The fans aren't gonna be happy to have to wait."

I hummed to myself while digging around my purse for my perfume. then my hand bumped into my shrunken guitar.

"Has your opening act already gone?" I asked grabbing my guitar.

"Yeah, and they're already packing up for the night. Why?" Gene looked down at me as I wandlessly returned my guitar to its original size. "Why do you have that?"

"You need the crowd to keep busy right? I'll just be standing around backstage twiddling my thumbs watching the show. I could pull a miracle out of my ass and provide another opening show." I explained tuning my guitar.

"You're just one person." Paul argued.

"True, but the crowd won't know that. Let me duck behind the bus real quick and resize and animate a few figurines I have." I said. Paul and Gene looked at one another before sighing.

"Five Minutes. Be quick." Gene caved. I gave him a big smile before dashing back out the door.

     Ducking behind the bus away from eyes and cameras, I used magic to crack open a window on the bus and summoned some of my rock figurines. Hatsune Miku appeared first. With some magical adjustment, she appeared more human and once I resized her and animated her, she began jabbering in Japanese before I cast another spell on her, so she spoke English. Next was my Chad Kroeger figure. He just looked around the area we were in waiting my orders. Lastly was a figure of The Rev' from Avenged Sevenfold. He reacted much like Chad and just looked around.

"Okay you three, I've given you all temporary and magical sentience to serve me as a band. It's 1975 and KISS needs our help." I explained while magically changing their clothes to similar appearances to mine. 

Miku's was a teal and black version of what I wore, Chad's was a green shirt under a black leather jacket with black jeans, and The Rev now wore a red muscle shirt and black jeans.

"When I animated you, I placed knowledge of what songs we'll be singing. Miku, you're Bass, Chad rhythm guitar, and Rev is on drums. Our stage name will be Rising Phoenix if anyone asks. Got it?" I stated.

"Right." Chad nodded.

"You betcha!" Miku giggled and Rev gave a solumn nod.

"Great, let's get in there and get the crowd pumped." I clapped my hands happily before leading them inside. "Emergency band is here!"

"That was a close call." Gene looked over my motley crew of musicians before shrugging. "Spare drums have been set up."

"Perfect! Have fun with your doting fans!" I cheered leading my 'band' onto the curtain covered stage. Looking at the drums, I created an image of a Phoenix on the bass drum as Chad, Miku, and I all hooked our guitars and bass to the amps.

We all looked at one another and nodded before I signaled for the curtain to rise.

"Who's ready to rock!" I said into the mic. "Cause KISS has asked my new cover band, Rising Phoenix to keep you all entertained while they meet some fans!"

Screams came from the audience as spotlights danced over the crowd.

"But tonight, we have a little something special for you all. Some of our own 'original' songs to get that blood pumping!" Hey! Half the music I know doesn't even exist yet! "Let's get a little... Extraterrestrial!"

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing

They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your loving
Fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction

From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Paul and had to smirk before focusing on the crowd and music.

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your laser
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your loving
Fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

This is transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
All

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your loving
Fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

"Boy that was an intergalactic rush!" I joked breathing a bit heavily. "Was almost.... TOXIC!"

Baby, can't you see I'm calling?
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm falling
There's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm loving it

Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under (Toxic)
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now with your loving now
I think I'm ready now (I think I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now with your loving now
I think I'm ready now

The crowd was going wild. About one or two more songs and then the guys should be ready to perform. My heart was pounding at the thrill of performing for thousands for the very first time. The band name I used was one I had decided on as a salute to my grandparents, great uncles, and those who died in the first Wizarding War as well as the second. 

"For our next song, my buddy Chad here is gonna sing! Give it up for Chad!" I exclaimed swapping places with him.

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell,
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me,
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands,
And we sang...

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
We're singing...
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
No room left to move in between you and I,
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang...

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
We're singing...
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,

[Solo]

As the song drifted to an end, I saw a stagehand hold up one finger. Signal to play one more song. I gave a brief nod in return.

"We have time for one more song! This time I'll be on lead guitar and Chad will be rhythm for this one. So shall we Hail to the Kings of Rock and Roll?" The crowd went absolutely wild at that.

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets, now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore

Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night (night)
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to take all your rights

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king

Hail!
Hail!
Hail!
The King...

Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again, but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid

Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light (light)
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to grant you your rights

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king

Hail!
Hail!
Hail!
The King...

[Solo]

There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame the land (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to claim it all

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king!

Hail!
Hail!
Hail!

     The curtain dropped as the crowd continued chanting Hail out. I stood in place panting as my 'band' unhooked their instruments or in The Rev's case, climbed down from his. The stagehands were already in motion setting up for KISS as we walked into the backstage area where the guys were all standing there dumbstruck. I sheepishly waved to them before following my 'band' back outside so I could turn them back into figurines.

"Alright you three. That was fucking amazing. Definitely going to use you as my band from now on. Great work, now back to figurine form so you all can rest. I'll expand my room some more and create a studio area so we can work on more songs in the future." I exclaimed before taking my wand out of my boot and returning them to their natural states, with changes to their appearances thanks the wardrobe change I did on them. 

     Making sure no one was watching, I scooped them up and slipped into the bus and my room before placing my bandmembers on the coffee table in my lounge. Taking this time to magically clean the sweat off me and fix my makeup as well as my hair. Once I was back to looking how I did before my impromptu show, I returned to the wings of the stage where the guys were still chilling. I gave them a tired wave and peeked out onto the crowd to see them singing a mix of the songs I performed. A strange feeling blossomed in my chest as I saw them. 

"You really put on a show, for such a short notice performance." Peter stated.

"Yeah, almost like... magic." Ace teased.

"No shit Sherlock." I scoffed as a stagehand gave me a bottle of water.

"I gotta say, that was impressive." Gene admitted clapping me on the shoulder.

"At least I didn't steal the thunder and used my future knowledge to play a future KISS song." I teased before ducking to avoid Gene catching me in a headlock. "But I am a benevolent and kind Sorceress who would do no such thing."

"I don't know about benevolent, but sexy sure is one of them." Ace laughed throwing his arm over my shoulders. "Maybe after the show..."

My fist was suddenly in his gut doubling him over.

"Not on your damn life, Ace." I spat moving away from him. "Be lucky it was a light punch so you can still perform."

"You really need to stop with her. She's not interested in you." Peter sighed shaking his head. I rolled my eyes before they landed on Paul.

"He'll be fine in a minute. Just an unexpected move from me is all." I assured the front man.

"It's not that. Your sheer range alone could get you a record deal. Add on your skill with a guitar and you'd have record companies on their knees begging you to sign on with them." Paul chuckled walking up to me.

"Oh really?" I quirked an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure my 'band' needs more exposure before I could even see the chance of a record deal."

"Don't doubt yourself." Paul assured me before he and the guys took to the stage.

     It was surreal to see KISS perform up close and personal. They opened with Deuce which got the crowd even wilder than when I left the stage. It was about the third song when I moved down in front of the stage where security was patrolling the barricades that the true concert feeling hit me. My blood was pumping and the bass from Peter's drums shook my whole being as the guys really showed the world that they were definitely worthy to be called kings of rock and roll. Ace tried getting all fancy with his moves and even winked at me, but all he got in return was a scowl and me punching my hand for him to knock it off and move on to some other poor girl. Gene even played with the crowed a bit, especially with his long ass tongue. Peter was busy on the drums, but Paul. Paul's gaze barely left me, which left me feeling confused. I didn't outshine him or the guys with my opener. Maybe it's my clothes, since his powers are purple.

     As the night wore on, I could feel myself getting lost in the music and even began joining the crowd in cheering and dancing around. Heat blossomed all over my body and it made me pause. Oh no. Not good. Rubbing my hands up my arm, I could feel fur and looking at my arm made me panic. White fur with black stripes was appearing and my nails were growing longer. Swallowing thickly, I looked around before bolting backstage and out the door to the bus. I barely made it inside when I fell to my knees. Of all the damn times to start my monthly, shifting into my Animagus form when it starts is a pain in the ass. Using my tail to close the door, I chuffed and padded my way to my room where I could calm down before shifting back and returning to the show. It took around forty-five minutes before I was able to shift back and put a diva cup in. 

"Fucking Animagus bullshit." I muttered exiting the bus and returning back inside to see the guys playing their finale. Well, guess I missed a good chunk of the show.

     I clapped and gave them a tight-lipped smile as they walked off stage covered in sweat. They all gave me mixed looks that I waved off as they returned to the dressing room to change and clean up. All I'm going to tell them is it's a female thing. My animagus form will be my trump card. It took about an hour and a half for them to re-emerge with their costumes in hand. I held out my arms to receive the clothing to be cleaned and repaired if need be. The smell of male sweat burned my sensitive nose as I was laden down with the costumes. Once all their stuff was handed over, I turned on my heel and marched right to the bus where I bee-lined for the laundry room. Taking out my wand, I began very extensive and careful cleaning of the costumes before returning them to their owner's proper rooms. I was about to collapse onto the couch when Gene opened the door.

"Grab your purse. We're going to the after party." he grunted.

"Okay, okay." I sighed grabbing my purse from the counter with my meager cash and climbed out after him. A limo was waiting and the others were already piled in. Gene held the door as I clambered in and ended up sitting next to Paul. "So which bar are we going too?"

"A privately owned club near downtown." Ace exclaimed. "Pretty exclusive place. Maybe I can land a hot babe, since you keep rejecting me."

"Oh, bless your heart." I drawled in a sweet southern twang as mocking as I could. "Whatever will you do?"

Snorts came from the others as Ace looked offended. Smirking, I leaned back with my arms crossed and my left leg crossed over my knee.

"So, I guess I'll be the sober one, so that I can round you rowdy kids up before we hit the road?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. With the stick you have shoved so far up your ass, you could use a strong drink and a good lay." Gene snorted.

"Sorry, but no hanky panky for me." They all looked at me with mixed expressions of amused and confused. "It's a female thing."

     They changed their expressions quick. The ride to the club was filled with idle chatter and jokes, but the guys all put on cocky expressions when the limo pulled out outside a nice-looking building. Fans were gathered outside, being held back my velvet ropes. Ace was the first to climb out, then Gene, Peter, Paul, and lastly myself. I put on a polite smile and waved to the crowd as we all walked in. Loud music replaced crazy fans as I passed through the threshold into a dimly lit room filled with obviously wealthy people and a rainbow of disco and strobe lights. Smoke created a haze in the room, and I soon lost sight of the guys. Puffing my cheeks out as I surveyed my surroundings, I spotted the bar.

"What can I get for you?" the bartender asked.

"Tequila Sunrise please." I signed taking out some cash. He nodded, counted out what I handed to him and was going to hand me my change, but I stopped him.

"Keep the change. Merlin knows, I'm going to be back many times during this party." I said.

"You got it." he gave me a smile before mixing my drink. After a few minutes he placed the glass down. "Here you are, ma'am. One Tequila sunrise."

"Much appreciated, Sugar." I gave him a tight smile before picking up my drink and taking a sip. 

     The bitterness of the tequila almost overpowered the sour pineapple juice and the sweet grenadine. Moving to a less busy part of the bar, I scanned the crowd before spotting the guys. They had women crawling all over them. Pouting, I held my drink close and went in search of a bathroom. For some reason, I was feeling pretty petty right about now. Maybe it was the alcohol. Finding the ladies room, I slipped into a stall and took out my wand from my purse this time and transfigured my bell bottoms into a super short skirt that had the same pattern as the pant with the black leather and metallic purple polyester with chains hanging lazily in the folds of the skirt. Stepping out of the stall with my drink in hand, I checked myself over in the mirror before pulling my hair down and mussing it up, so it looked even wilder. Nodding in approval, I left the bathroom and returned to my spot. Sure enough, the guys were where I saw them last. Downing the last of my drink, I headed back to the bar and ordered a Negroni. I could smell the alcohol when I picked up my finished drink after paying. Taking a sip, I fought the urge to wrinkle my nose before I began making my way towards the guys, while also swaying my hips. They wanna tease me? I'll just make them eat their words.

"You guys are so mean." I mock pouted stalking up to their booth. "Leaving me all alone at the door like that?"

"Ava?!" they all exclaimed.

"Who else?" I scoffed before glaring at a girl to move. She gave me a dirty look but moved anyway and I took her spot before leaning back and sipping my drink while crossing my left leg over my right knee. "You all act like I can't dress for a party."

"Well, considering you said..." Peter drawled.

"What I said doesn't matter." I snorted taking a sip of my Negroni.

"What are you even drinking?" Gene eyed my glass.

"Try it, then I'll tell you." I leaned over and handed him my glass with a crooked smile. The poor SoB took a full-on mouthful before spluttering and shoving the glass back into my hand.

"What the fuck is that?" he coughed.

"A Negroni. Practically pure liquor. Would be perfect for a hot head like you." I chuckled. "I happen to have a rather high tolerance. Considering my previous background."

"And what would that be? A hooker?" one girl laughed.

"A Marchioness. Actually. Before I left England following the murder of my parents." I gave her a sickly-sweet smile. "The number of parties I've had to attend because of my station is so large, I've lost count."

The girl looked at me agape then it turned into disbelief until I flipped her my ring finger.

"Shouldn't judge a book by its cover sweetheart." I hissed before downing the rest of my drink and stood up. "Well, you boys enjoy your sluts. Don't bring them to the bus, I just polished the floors."

     I stalked off and made sure to sway my hips again before leaving the bar altogether and finding a dark alley to apparate in. Because of the alcohol, I stumbled a bit on my landing in the living room before regaining my balance and going into my hidden bedroom. Closing my door, I stripped off my clothes and threw them in my yellow hamper before pushing a curtain that covered an alcove to the side to reveal a tub surrounded by false windows and candles. With a flick of my wand, I filled the tub and lit the candles. 

     Adding some Lavender bath salt and Rose bubble bath, I heated the water and mixed the soap around to create a thick bubbly top. Slipping into the perfectly hot waters, I leaned my head against the cushion at one end after piling my hair into a bun. I dozed in the enchanted water until I heard the guys returning. No doubt they'd be too drunk to bother and go straight to bed since we're rolling out tomorrow for the next show. I hummed to myself quietly as I tried to zone back out, but the sound of my door flying open and the sound of someone storming in. I peeked open an eye when I felt a presence looming over me.

"Have fun at the party, Paul?" I politely asked while gathering some bubbles to cover myself better.

"What the absolute fuck is wrong with you?" he yelled. 

"Whatever do you mean? I went to the party with you all, had a couple drinks and conversation, reminded you all about the floors, and then came back here." I mused while adjusting my position in the tub.

"You know damn well what I mean." He snapped. "Don't judge a book by its cover and then turn around and call those girls what you did? Have you no class?"

"Oh, I have plenty of class." I looked up at him dead in the face. "They don't. As it was obvious with how they were literally crawling all over you four. But hey, you wanna get STDs. Be my guest. Don't come crying to me for a potion to cure it when you do."

     Paul looked taken aback before storming off. Rolling my eyes, I settled back into the water and closed my eyes hoping for peace. Shouting came from the other room before my door opened and closed again. Keeping my face calm and my eyes closed, I hoped that whoever came in this time would just go away. Nope. A hand reached into the water and grabbed my arm before roughly pulling me from the tub and onto the floor. A cry escaped me as I crashed onto the hardwood. Looking up, I saw my assailant was a very drunk and very high Ace with lightning crackling off him.

"You need to be taught your place, maid." he growled talking towards me. I swallowed thickly and looked around my room for my wand but didn't see it. "Looking for this? For something so precious, you sure are careless with it."

"Ace, give that back. I can't get another one if you destroy it." I said trying to get to my feet, but the water made things slippery, and I crashed back to the floor.

"Like you destroyed our party?" he sneered.

"I didn't destroy anything. Just spoke my mind." I stated scrambling back.

"Women are meant to be seen, not heard!" he yelled. "But you obviously weren't taught that, were you?"

"Ace!" Came Peter's shout as he and Gene burst into the room. The lighting arced off Ace and some hit me, burning my skin and making me cry out. "You're not yourself right now. Leave Ava alone. She made a point to Paul, but you came charging in here before you heard what he had to say."

"Oh really? Like what?! That she's better than those other girls, because she's English nobility? Because she has the skill to make it even bigger than us!" Ace roared swinging his arm around.

"That drink she had was strong, you know how alcohol and loosen tongues. So, knock it off." Peter slowly approached Ace.

"She looked pretty fucking sober to me." Ace spat before noticing Peter's eyes were actually on my wand. A sick snarl filled his face. No. He was going to snap it!

     Not thinking, I tackled Ace in my full naked glory and grit my teeth against his power hitting me and burning me even more. He was bigger and stronger than me, so he managed to kick me away, but my wand slipped from his grip in the process allowing me to snatch it up as I went flying into the wall. Stars danced in my vision as I slid to the floor in a heap. Shaking the spots from my vision, I shakily held my wand up and pointed it at him.

"STUPEFY! " I screamed as orange light shot out of my wand and impacted with the guitarist's chest throwing him back and knocking him out. Steam poured off me where the water had been vaporized by the lightning. Peter, Gene, and now Paul all stood there looking between me and the knocked-out Ace. "H-he's just unconscious."

My vision swam and I slumped to the side as I felt my head hit the floor with a dull thud. So much for a first week and concert.

Author's Note:

I do not own the songs that Ava sings. Neither does she, but as she's in the past and these songs haven't come out yet, she's using it to her advantage for now. No hate please. It's a damn fanfiction!
