Making the Band
NOTE: Please note that this ramble was the first one I wrote, and is nothing like the ones following. The way characters act are different, even my faves and who are regulars are a bit different. So, please don't judge the rest by this one. -_-;
(Everyone's lounging around Raven's house when Selphie bursts through the door)
Selphie: Guess what!!! You'll never guess what! Nope not ever... you can try all you want and you'll never get it right.
Seifer: You finally realized how annoying you are and are packing up and leaving town?
Everyone: *sweatdrops*
Selphie: No, silly!!
Vincent: there's a battle of the bands contest and first place gets their own record deal and you decided to enter and volunteered some of us against our wills?
Selphie: Aww! How'd you know!? You ruined my big surprise! You big meanie... I should blow you to smithereens!
(Everyone looks at Vincent and blinks)
Vincent: *slowly notices all the odd looks directed at him* what? I saw the ad in the paper this
morning� o_o;
Rinoa: *looks at Squall all confused* battle of the bands? What's that?
Squall: ......
Quistis: * shakes her head a bit* It's a contest when a bunch of groups of friends get up on stage and sing and dance for a prize.
Rinoa: Oh. *still has a puzzled look on her face then shouts* Hey!! Can I be in the band? I like to sing and I know we-
Everyone: O_O!!
Sephiroth: Go away Annoyia! No one wants you in the band.. now...
BE GONE!
Raven: *clings to Seph* You tell her Sephy! *_*
Seph: ^_^
(Rinoa starts to pout and goes to hug Squall who steps to the side of her watching her fall on the ground. She gets up, crying, and runs out of the house)
Selphie: Anyway, I signed up me, Quistis, Cloud, Irvine, and Raven.
Quistis, Cloud, Irvine, and Raven: O_O!! ahhh!
Raven: I am so not getting up on stage to sing and dance. I do that for NO ONE!
Reno: * looks up from his flask of vodka* But Raven, you danced for me last night...
Raven: ahh! I mean, erm... no I didn't. Reno-chan have you been drinking too much again? o_o;;
Squall: .....
Quistis: What is it Squally?
Squall: ......
Quistis: She danced for you too didn't she?
Seph: O_O I thought you said you danced only for me!
Crys: Oh come on guys,
don't be so dense... you know she's danced for probably all of you guys. I mean she clings to most of you non stop so obviously she's gonna...
Raven: *looks around all shifty eyed* I uhh... *takes out her rubber ducky of death and glares at all the guys*
(Everyone backs up slowly all o_o;;)
Zell: *pouts* she's never danced for me.
Seifer: There's a reason for that Chicken-wuss.
(Zell clenches his fists and starts to say something but is cut off by Rufus)
Rufus: Has Raven ever danced for you, Seifer?
Seifer: >_<;;
Selphie: EXCUSE ME! WHAT ABOUT MY BAND!?
(Everyone shuts up and looks at Raven who is turning red and looks back at Selphie who is turning white. They all slowly move a few steps back from the two)
Raven: Selphie, I am so not gonna be in that band of yours. Are you insane?! *Blinks* wait, I forgot, you
are� how else do you explain that outfit and your hyper-activeness towards blowing things
up� -_-;
Quistis: Selphie, why don't you manage a boy band? They're huge right now... and I don't wanna be in your band either...
Selphie: but I already signed us up!
Raven: THEN CHANGE IT! OR
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A BAND AT ALL!!
Irvine: Raven, baby, you gotta take deep breaths before you hyperventilate and like stress out and stuff.
Raven: *smiles and hugs Irvine* Thankies Irvy-poo. ^_^
Seifer: Leave it to the cowboy to get on her good side right before something bad happens.
Raven: *puts the rubber ducky away and sits on the floor* hmm...
Seifer: See... she's thinking... something bad is gonna happen...
Cloud: *as usual isn't paying attention to anything going on* Wha? Seifer what are you rambling about now?
Squall: .....
Aeris: Cloud, hun, come sit down with me and I'll fill you in on what's happening.
Tifa: Over my dead body! Cloud, come over here and I'll help you. I helped you in the lifestream didn't I?
Aeris: You only helped him cuz y'all thought I was dead! If I were around I would've been there by his side helping him. We all know that Cloud loves me!
(Raven having had enough of the two throws her rubber ducky at Aeris knocking her out)
Tifa: About time someone shut her up, I've had to deal with-- *falls to the ground after being hit on the back of the head with another rubber ducky*
Raven: as I was about to say before those two went at it
again� I think Quistis is right, a boy band is a great idea and a great way to get rich and famous quick!
Everyone: -_-;;
Raven: I think that the members should be--
Selphie: HEY! The band was my idea!
Raven takes out her deathsythe and glares at Selphie
Cloud: Why did Duo have to give Raven her own deathsythe? ~_~;
Selphie: *takes a step back *But it is!
(Raven chases after Selphie and locks her in the closet down the hall. She returns a few minutes later tapping the deathsythe on her shoulder while in thought)
Raven: I think the perfect boy band would be Cloud the pretty blonde boy, Seifer the rebel/bad boy, Squall the pensive/silent one, Irvy the ladies man, and Sephy the older macho one. ^_^
Squall: whatever... O_O What? No way am I gonna be in this band. I can't even sing!
Quistis: Squall, it doesn't matter if you can sing or not, boy bands these days are untalented pretty boys anyway. All you have to do is be cute and mumble some words, shake that cute ass of yours and voila! We're rich!
Cloud: *walks over the unconscious Tifa and Aeris and walks over by Quistis* She's right man. We could win this contest hands down, *smiles at Quistis a bit* especially with me in it.
(After some more arguments which included Seifer protesting and Raven hitting him with the deathsythe, Irvine jumping at the chance to be famous with millions of girls throwing themselves at him which caused Selphie to break down the closet door and thwap him, and Zell complaining that he's never included in anything which made Squall try to give his spot to Zell which caused Raven, Quistis, and Crys all hit him, it was settled that they would make the band and practice started right after they dragged Aeris and Tifa into another room out of the way.)
Rufus: Dayum Raven, when you hit someone you sure know how to do it. Too bad you weren't a Turk, maybe that way my plans would've worked out better... *everyone shoots him a look* Ok ok... I'm quiet... I also know when I'm not wanted so I'll just stay and watch the two so when they wake up they won't kill each other. *he wanders off into the other room*
Reno: No offense Raven, but this idea will never work and I'm glad I'm not in it.
Raven: *glares at Reno* Shush you... go back to your vodka before I get pissed.
Reno : Ok. *takes out his flask and starts drinking from it again*
Irvine: So, like, what do we do first? And will this take long? I wanna go and meet the hot chicks who will be throwing themselves at me!
Seph: Quiet you cowboy freak. No one wants to here what you have to say.
Squall: Maybe we should pick a song and practice it and make a dance routine for it.
Seph: No one wants to hear what you have to say either.
Raven: Sephy-sama... I care, and that was a damn good idea, baka! *tosses a ducky at him which he dodges and sticks his tongue out at her*
Seph: How dare you, woman!
Raven: *glares at him*
Seph: o_o;; Heh, I mean yay Squall and his good ideas... *sits down on the couch mumbling things*
Seifer: I think we should sing Linkin Park! Those guys kick ass!
Raven: That they do... but... I don't think that will work for what we're going for.
Seifer: *does the garden snap*
Raven: Now what should we sing? BSB? BBMak? Westlife? If any of you even suggest nstink I'll kill you...
(Cloud isn't paying much attention and is sitting on a chair away from everyone singing Point Break's 'You' to himself, and singing it quite well)
Raven: Cloud! That's perfect! That'll be the second song you guys sing. Now we need a song that'll wow the audience before you go in for the kill with 'You'. O_O! Cloud! Where did you learn to sing like that?
Cloud: Huh? I dunno.
Raven: Not that it really matters anyway. Ok. Cloud is our lead singer. Any objections? No? Good.
Irvine: But... I thought I was gonna be the lead singer... how will all the girls throw themselves at me if I'm off in the background somewhere?
Seifer: That's right where you should be. Besides, like any girl's gonna throw herself at a low self-esteem cowboy reject.
Raven: Seifer! *thwaps him upside his head* Irvy, you won't really be in the background, you'll all be in the front dancing and singing. Besides, girls would throw themselves at you just on your looks alone. ^_^
Seph: Oh stop the sucking up already. It's not like we're gonna be famous or anything. It's one stupid LOCAL band thing. No big deal.
Squall: Whatever.
(They all argue for another hour until they settle on the songs they're gonna do and make up dance routines. Sephiroth of course put up a fight about how he is The Planet and
doesn't dance. That all changed in the end when Raven said how sexy she found guys who danced. This prompted a dance off with Irvine, Seph, Squall, and even Cloud. Seifer just practiced his dance and stayed away from the fools)
Raven: *trying hard not to drool* You guys are awesome dancers!
Irvine: Of course. Do you expect anything less from me?
Raven: No, I don't. You're perfect at everything, and I do mean everything. *winks at him*
Sephiroth: Cowboy slut...
(After three days of non-stop practicing, Cloud, Seifer, Squall, Seph, and Irvine were looking like the next big boy band)
Raven: Now we need a name...
Sephiroth: How about Forced Against Our Will?
Raven: Sephiroth! Hmm... Zodiac?
Seifer: Someone's been hanging with Zechs and Treize again...
Raven: I don't see you coming up with anything.
Irvine: How about SeeD, that way, Seifer can finally be a member of SeeD!
(Irvine and Squall high five)
Seifer: Hey, cowboy, did you forget that you're not a SeeD too?
Irvine: You're right... I'm useless...
Raven: Seifer! Irvine should be a SeeD. After saving the world with Squall and Quistis, Cid should've bestowed SeeDship upon him. huggles Irvine tightly It's ok, hun. You're a SeeD in my eyes.
Sephiroth: *bitter* Could he get anymore of her attention? ...I have a name! One With the Planet. *beams proudly*
Raven: Sephy-sama, people will think you're a bunch of tree huggers. Squall, any ideas?
Squall: Whatever...
Raven: Hmm... different... well, I'll think about it. Cloud?
Cloud: U-Neek?
Raven: I love it! Cloud, you are the best!
Irvine: Hey! What about me?
Sephiroth: I think you can sacrifice some of her attention.
Seifer: So we have a name, know our songs and moves... can we go home now?
Raven: Hell no! Do you think BSB got where they are today with only three days practice? I think not. We have two more days before the show... we're going to practice until we're on that stage!
Sephiroth: *whispers to Seifer* She keeps saying 'we' like she's going to be doing anything but bossing us around.
(The two days have come and gone, and so have the five guys enthusiasm about being rich and famous)
Raven: Ok boys. We're up next. Now remember to wow the crowd and knock the socks off the judges! Don't hold back, it's all or nothing now!
Cloud: Wha? I thought it was supposed to be just have fun.
Raven: Umm... yeah, sure... that too.
Announcer dude: Next we have U-Neek, consisting of Squall, Irvine, Sephiroth, Seifer, and Cloud!
(The crowd cheers as the guys come on. A few girls start to scream when they see how hot they are. The guys start off by singing BSB's I Want It That Way, then go into a little dance, followed by Point Break's You. The crowd goes wild. After they calm down, all the bands go on stage and wait for the results.)
Raven: This is so pointless. U-Neek is going to win. They were obviously the best.
