“Hey, I’m only doing this because you said you’d pay half of my share of the rent if I joined your stupid band!”
“Um... excuse me? I found a flyer at the gas station... Is this the band casting?”
“Well, whatcha applying for, girl?”
“Um... I... I can sing? And I’m pretty good on the more technicial side of things? Mixing and stuff like that.”
“I’m turning sixteen in a month.”
“No chance, kiddo! This isn’t some playdate, I’m trying to set up a real band here! Go join your highschool’s glee club or something.”
“I don’t know, man, my little brother goes to school with Nicole, she’s pretty good. Also, her grandma was like married to Douglas Styx and he held jam sessions with her from time to time when she was a toddler?”
“Wait, THE Douglas Styx? The one from ‘The Styx’?”
“Yeah, I went to school with his daughter. I think she still has his guitar.”
“Yeah, he lived here. Joe Santana, his bandmate, actually runs the local bar. You didn’t know that?”
“Damn... you think I can still catch up to that girl if I hurry?”
