When: Sometime the weekend of 7/25/26
"You ever sit in on on Cosmic Riot's practices? We should," Jasmine suggests to her partner. She's showing she's supportive of Aisha's housemates with absolutely no ulterior motives.

If she's nervous, Jaz does her best not to show it. The bouncing of her leg is to the beat and not a way to try and shake the nerves out. Aisha would buy that, right?.
Someone says they're wrapping up, but no one is really making an effort to pack up.
"Wait, you're not doing that other one?" Jaz clears her throat, overthinking for the moment if that sounded casual enough.
There's a chorus of not knowing what Jaz is talking about and a small back and forth between her and the band that she hopes doesn't sound obviously rehearsed. But by the time Jaz is at the mic with a guitar in hand, the ruse becomes a whole lot clearer.
Watcha doin' August 8th, baby?
How 'bout a dance or two?
I gotta say since our first date, baby,
I've had my mind on you.
Cause you laugh at my corny jokes
When you speak all your words they soak
Into my brain, into my soul, and parts of my body starts singin'.
Kiss me all up on my lips
Show me where my hip dips
As we sway from side to side
We can get it down on Prom Night
When the lights are this down low
No one can see where we'll go
Disappear into the crowd
Where our love can live out loud.
She half turns to the band, "you know, that one?," before turning back to shyly face Aisha and launching into the next verse with the band backing her up. Maybe her voice cracks a bit, maybe she mumbles some of the words, and maybe she blacks out a little because what in the afterschool special is she actually doing, but she still gets through it.
Once the song is done, Jaz returns the guitar and steps up to the mic again. "Sorry I don't have a sign or anything."
