Ryan's POV
same time as Ryley's POV

     ''Now this is starting to look like a nice song it just needs a good vocal part and it can be released to the world '' I mumbled as I was listening to the instrumental part of the song that the boys and I  were planning to release on Friday. 

        Boys and I were excited to release our new song which was actually a cover of   The Charlie Daniels Band  The Devil Went Down To Georgia which we were excited about since it was kinda going back to our roots a bit as well as for second time ever in our band's history that for a song we will have an animated music video. 

      The first song that we kinda did an animated music video was Feed the Machine and now we were doing it again with our new release which as very awesome. But we were also collaborating with Canadian fusion guitarist Dave Martone who helped us with additional guitar stuff making the song sound perfect.

''I guess its time for me to record my part thank God Danny boy recorded his part so he could be with his sister" Chad said as he finished tuning his guitar and I nodded and Mike asked as he leaned against comfy sofa which was in my studio  and had dog fur on one side from my loyal dog Rufus ''By the way why did he wanted to meet up with his sister."

Then I turned to face Mike and said:" They met up because Ryley moved to Vancouver full time and plus she might join our tour and she is helping Felix with the office space ".

''Oh" Mike said smiling and took a huge sip of Pepsi ''Little Ryley might join us on tour isn't that something they grow up so fast''.

''Yes yes now let's record  Chad singing and then we can montage the song together and release it.''I murmured to which Mike nodded and I asked Chad ''Ready dude?'' to which Chad nodded and said ''Yeah'' and I gave him signal as I pressed the record button and Chad began to sing and sing the heart.

As I was listening to Chad singing it felt like as if Chad from 90s when Nickelback started and merged with nowadays Chad which lead to most badass recording ever which sent chills up on my spine and my heart race faster and douse of serotonin rush in my veins. It was perfect vocal recording and I hoped boys and fans will love the cover as well as the video for the cover. 

Everything made sense during the recording of Chad's vocals and I looked at Mike and he had a proud smile on his face which said ''My brother is fucking back and is about to kick all of your asses who will talk trash about me or my boys go baby brother''.

I mouthed to Mike ''Chad is back'' and Mike nodded in agreement while having that  proud my brother is back game over haters"  smile on his face and I turned back and saw Chad finishing recording and  I pressed finish record button and I clapped and Mike joined and Chad smiled  and said ''Was it that awesome''  

''Yes, now dude now let's montage the song together and go relax'' I murmured and began to do just that and Chad joined us. The montage was a tricky but fun part -it was fun because we all got to see how all the bits and pieces go together forming a song but it was tricky because one had to be extra careful so any bits would not get lost in the shuffle.

I continued to montage the song together when suddenly Mark, our song engineer walked in with Ruffus.

Mark was a guy who was originally from Australia but when he was 20 he moved to Vancouver to learn how to be a sound engineer. Also, he was covered in tattoos and had silver hair and beard for days, in addition, he wore glasses and always wore black pants and black shirts whenever he was engineering mine and boys songs or helped with live events.

Also, Mark was one of the guys -he was always up for an adventure which was great for us because whenever we were touring he tagged along and enjoyed beer and played games he was a scorekeeper and he often pitched in. In addition, he was the voice of reason.

Ruffus immidently jumped in my lap and laid down like giant lapdog and Mark said "Mates you done?" to which Mike, Chad and I nodded and got up from the chair and sat at sofa next to Mike and cuddled my Ruffus.

''Giant lapdog Ruffus''Chad mumbled chuckling and scratched Ruffus behind the ear which Ruffus enjoyed and enjoyed a lot.

''Watch it''I murmured and cuddled Ruffus and then Chad replied ''Gotta call spade a spade Ruffus is a giant lapdog' besides you call him like that''.

I sighed and replied ''Yeah but I am owner mate'' and then Chad smiled and said "Okay'' and then Mike asked ''Speaking of Ruffus is the good boy coming with us on tour?'' and then I looked at Ruffus and then and Mike and Chad and said

 ''If that's okay with you two I know it's okay with Daniel but if it's okay with you two yes Ruffus is coming with us on tour besides I have to give him a credit beside you three being cheerleaders and my emotional support after ending things with Rebecca  Ruffus kinda helped me get back to being Ryan you all know and love and  I don't have a place to leave Ruffus ".

Mike smiled and said "It's gonna a long but fun tour and besides we are in separate busses so it's all good '' and then Chad added "Ruffus the tour dog sounds majestic''

I smiled and murmured ''Thanks guys now shall we listen to the song in its entirety together'' and Mike nodded in agreement and added ''Lets at least facetime Daniel he was part of this and we all agree and Mike did just that.

Daniel picked up and said ''Dudes what's up'' and Mike said  ''Song is ready wanna hear ? '' and Daniel nodded. Mark then pressed play and we began to listen to the song.

It was even more perfect once it was nicely montaged and finished

All six of us listened and I could see that all of us enjoyed the song every word sang by Chad, every guitar strum by Mike and I and Dave, every drum beat made by Daniel. It was  perfection from the start to finish and as the song ended Daniel said ''Let's release it now screw waiting this is the perfect song to kick off tour which will happen in few weeks ''

''Days!'' I corrected Daniel  and added ''By the way did Ryley agreed on joining us on tour?''

There was a moment of silence and then Daniel asked with a thick accent ''What do you think?''

Mike then decided to be a smartass and said ''No because our styles clash and she doesn't drink'' and I smacked Mike's shoulder for that to which Chad chuckled and Daniel said ''Actually she said heck yeah ''

My heart sang in glee because I was excited to work with Daniel's sister due to the fact I loved her music and we all were friends and plus she became almost like the fifth bandmate after Chad had vocal problems and now that she will join the tour which was absolutely perfect because we will explore cities and perform in front of fans. 

Not to mention, it will bring two music styles together in one tour which was always nice.

''But how did she said yes?'' Chad asked and then Daniel said ''Well at first she was hesitant but then I gave her pep talk and she agreed and Mrs is coming too''

''Awesomeness the band is back on the road so on Monday we can finalize the details and make it official ''I said and Daniel nodded and said ''Pretty much basically now I gotta go thank you for calling and Ryley and   I see you on Monday''.

''Bye dude see you and Ryley on Monday'' I said and guys joined in saying bye and we hanged up and  I said ''The only question is Ryley going her own bus or with Daniel'' and Mike got up and said ''Dude we will figure that on Monday now let's go cook up those steaks and just relax that song is done ''.

Chad and Mark nodded in agreement and Ruffus jumped down on the ground and I got up and we went to cook steaks and relax.
