Ran's POV

"Come on, you know you want to." Bash says.

"Well I don't. And besides I already have a boyfriend." I say.

Me and Bash dated, for three years. When he left, I never dated again. Until I met Randy...

"And I already have a girlfriend." Bash says. "Who's your boyfriend?"

"Him. Randy." I say and point to Randy.

"Your dating that shoob?" Bash asks.

"Yeah. I guess I have a think for shoobs." I say. "Where's your girlfriend?" I ask.

"She's over there." Bash explains. "Hey Cass get over here!!!"

Cass...Cassandra? Cassandra's his girl friend!?!??!? Then when she walks over to us my rumours are conformed. My sister, is dating Bash.

"Cassandra!?!" I shout.

"Ran!?!" Cass shouts.

"What?" Randy asks.

"She's my sister." I say.

"So Ran, how's your boyfriend?" Cass asks.

"Good you?" I say.

"Pretty good." Cass says.

Randy's POV

So Ran dated Bash, and now her sisters dating him? This just got real.

But Bash and Ran are still friends...I thought once you broke up with your ex, you were supposed to be enemies. Well I guess it's different for them. Cause they're like, besties. I guess they were before they started dating.

**After school**

Band tryouts! I really hope 30 seconds to math gets to be the band that performs. If we perform, and we're actually good. We could perform outside of school.

There's a total of four bands trying out, the band geeks, Heidi and her friends, bash's group, and 30 seconds to math.

"How did you guys come up with the name?" Ran asks.

"The what?" Howard asks.

"30 seconds to math, our band name?" Ran says.

"I honestly, have no idea." Howard says.

"So Ran, how do you feel about your sister dating Bash?" I ask.

"I don't really care. I mean yeah, me and Bash dated, but that didn't change anything, we're still best friends." Ran says.

"Oh." Is all I can say, I guess this is getting awkward. Better change the subject.

"So you had a pet Tengu? Didn't it, like, posses you?" I ask.

"No it was a different breed from the one hays trapped in the stone. That one is a spirit breed, mine was a solid breed, which means it wasn't as big, and it couldn't posses people." Ran explains.

Wow, I guess I've got a lot to learn about Tengu's.

"So...what song are we using?" Howard asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"How about Ninj-Along?" Howard asks, giggling.

I will never listen to that annoying song, ever again. It was sooooo annoying.

"No Howard." I say angrily.

"I was kidding, how about Roar by Katy Perry? A woman's singing it so it'll be easy for Ran to sing." Howard says.

"I guess." I say.

Since we're the last band auditioning, we have at least twenty mixtures to practice. Mostly for Ran, cause she has to learn the lyrics.

"Next up, 30 second to math?" Morgan, one of the judges says.

We walk up onto the stage, and are going to perform. I'm just so nervous. Morgan can be a little critical. I mean what if she does that 'off my stage' thing on us for revenge. Cause Howard did that one time cause he was being the 'mean judge.'

Well here it goes...

"I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm  floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar..."

Woah, Ran's actually pretty good. More than pretty good, she's great!

"That was good. I guess." She says. "You can leave now."

So we do as she says and leaves. I really hope we made it. I really like playing the piano guitar. And if I can get a career in music. I won't ever have to do school work again.

Ran's POV **The Sewers**

"What made you think you could try out to be the band at the Bonfire, that's the day we're fighting the sorcerer!" Con yells.

"I just thought that if we do defeat the sorcerer, playing at the bonfire would be really fun." Randy says.

He has a point there.

"And if we don't, the whole world will be full of stank and there will be no bonfire." I say.

"Good point." Con says.

"Wait a minute...it's quiet...too quiet." Howard says.

"So?" I ask.

"Plop-plop's usually joking around, or at least making noise." Howard says.

"Plop-plop's missing!" Con says.
