Raven's POV
Oh my god. I have to tell Rye and the others! This is amazing! "Rye! Jay! Green! Vise! Get through here! You won't believe the phone call I just got!" I screamed throughout the house. Well, Ryker and Jakey's house. That's where we were all chilling right now, band practice and lots of totally healthy food. (Note sarcasm) They all rushed in, Ryker and Gregor entering last, Jakey in close second to Victor. "What?" Asked Jay. "We just got a gig!" I yelled. They all started grinning like idiots. "How!?" Gregor asked, yelling. "I don't know! I just got a call to my cell and when I answered the guy on the end told me his name and if we wanted to play at this club!" I screamed again. They were all jumping up and down now...well, apart from Ryker. "Rye...What's wrong?" Jay asked her. Always the protective older brother. "Aren't you happy?" She sighed. "I dunno, Jay. It's a club." "And?.." He pressed. "And, most clubs don't allow underage kids in. I doubt they're ever gonna let a twelve year old in, Jaybear." He sighed, until I piped up. "The guy said he knows how old we are, he saw us play at our school awhile back," I expressed. She cracked a small smile. She has an excellent poker face that girl, yet she still has more facial expression than Kristen Stewart. No offence to any twi-fans, of course. "Okay then, let's do this guys! This is our first show out of school. This is awesome!" She said, expressing the most emotion I've seen her put out that in the last 3 weeks in total. We did our kinda group handshake. We all put our left hands in, and on 3 yelled, "We are Sixth Flame, and we're not planning on burning out!" We did just that. Fuck I was way more exited than I should be. I noticed Gregor had been really quiet. "Green, what's up?" Victor asked. Apparently He noticed too. Gregor sighed. "I miss Cammi. I wish she was here to see us perform at that club.." Ryker ran and hugged Gregor. "It's okay, Green. Why don't you call 'er, see how she's doin'?" Green nodded, and wandered to the back garden to call Cammi. Cammi was Gregor's long-term girlfriend, and has been with Gregor since she was 10. Cam is now 13, and they've been together for 3 years. A few months ago, in June, Cam was forced to move with her dad to Cali from over here in NJ. It's now September, and may I just say that Green and Cammi are thrashing this long distance thing. Gregor skipped into the room. "What's got you so happy?" Victor asked him. "Guess what?" Gregor yelled. "What?" We all yelled back. "Cam is coming back to NJ this weekend!" We were all stunned. "What?! How?!" Jakey yelled. "She got kicked out by her dad. One of her Cali friends is gonna bring her back to NJ to live here again!" He yelled exitedly. We were all getting happier by the second, we all love Cammi, and we were all really upset when she had to go. It hit Gregor hardest though. "When are we playing?" Rye asked me. "We're playing three weeks from now, so we need to get our shit together. Cammi can help!" It was now Thursday...I knew Gregor couldn't wait 'til Saturday came. "Okay, truth or dare anybody?" Rye asked. Did I mention that we're all having a sleepover at Rye and Jay's tonight? No? Well, then...We all headed to the living room, and a thought hit Jay, quite obviously, because he stumbled backwards. "Jay?" Rye asked. "You okay?" Jay nodded. "I just think...We have three weeks, yeah?" I nodded, along with Victor. "Well, shouldn't we be planning and practising then? I mean, we only have 3 weeks..." Fuck, he was right. "Okay, change of plan, basement time. We need to get this shit sorted." I said. "And so we ride. To the basement, Jay!" Ryker yelled, jumping on Jakey's back. I laughed at their child-like-ness. "Let us begone!" Jakey yelled, running down into the basement. We all followed after them, chuckling.

"So I think we want about 2 or 3 heavy songs in there, and 1 or 2 softer ones, maybe 3 or 4 heavier ones," Victor stated. "Nice planning there, Vise," Jay commented, nodding his approval. "Guys! Can we do a Red Jumpsuit song?" Ryker yelled (A/N: The band is called The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, or RJA. I advise you check them out.) All of us nodded, or said something along the lines of "Sure", and Ryker then yelled, "Okay! Woo! Can we do Damn Regret?" We nodded, yet again, or said "'course", and she searched up the chords on her laptop while Gregor got the drum lines. We eventually got a good set list, that consisted of Scars by Papa Roach for the first song, Damn Regret by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, I Miss You by Blink-182, Shadow Moses by Bring Me The Horizon, Fall For You by Second-hand Serenade, and last but not least, Thank You And Goodnight by Tonight Alive. We, ourselves, thought it was a solid set list. "Sweet! Guys, do you know how awesome this set list is?" Victor said, more yelled. We all cheered. "We're done! We just need to practice them and all that shit, and we're done!" Gregor yelled. "You guys are the best band I could ever hope to be in, thank you so much for all the effort put into Sixth Flame guys, you're the best," our one and only front man (front girl, maybe?) said, tears pricking her eyes. "Awww, that's so sweet Rye! The fact is though, If you and Jay hadn't come up with the idea to start a band, there wouldn't be a Sixth Flame!" Victor yelled, hugging the crap outta Rye. "Seconded," Gregor said. "Yup, thirded," I continued. We were so dedicated to this band, it's unbelievable.
