Terel frowned, tapping a key repeatedly while he sat in the corner. He held his keytar loosely and watched the scenes before him whiz by. The tour bus was only going 55 mph, but from Terel's spot, it looked like it was going the speed of light. He tapped a few more keys, humming quietly and looking around at everyone else. Their next gig wasn't until tomorrow and the group was heading towards it already, very excited.

Shaking his head at the thought, Terel went back to silence. He had joined this band soley to play, but he felt tension within the group at every moment. Yet, it was more fun than sitting at home for hours on end. He shrugged and went back to playing, trying to kill the three hours before they got to their hotel.

"Are you serious?! He told me that he wasn't going out with Taylor anymore and they had broken up two weeks ago or something. Ughh, men. This might just be it. I'm turning les, Eliza", Zuine said and abused the couch cushion she was holding. Her conversation with Eliza was pretty much done after that so she flipped her phone shut before getting up from her bunk. She made her way through the small corridor to the kitchen like area and, looking for food.

"Have we got anything to eat in here?" she shouted and then continued in a lower volume: "I am so hungry I could eat a cow right now..."

Claire sat hunched over in one of the corners of the tour bus, notebook and pen in hand. A very common site for her. Though one couldn’t tell if she was writing creatively, like lyrics and stories. Or if she was planning, as she often did, what the band would be doing in the future. She chewed the end of the already mauled pen cap thoughtfully as she glanced up at her other band members.
She hunched down to the small carrying case at her feet where Gregory resided. She kept him in the carrying case during bus rides for the comfort of the other band members. She knew he hated it, being in a dark secluded place, but she didn’t want to upset anyone. Slowly she lifted the cage and unzippered it the tiniest bit, instantly the little white-yellow head popped up to see her. She smiled as the little tongue darted in and out, catching her a little on the nose. She hoped she be there soon so she could let her snake out.

Terel laughed as he heard the shout from Zuine. He stood, sliding his keytar to his back effortlessly, and walked over to the girl. "I have some stuff in my bag, what do you want?" He spoke quietly, as if he didn't want anyone to hear. "I have candy and chips...I think a few other things..."

He pulled his keytar to his front and smiled as he thought of a new progression. He played a few keys, loving the tone, and nodded. Sliding it back onto his back.

Carla-Lily sat on the couch,strumming,Envy, her favorite guitar."Anyone mind getting me a drink?"She asked putting the guitar down.She was tired and hadn't been sleeping well so she'd been drinking alot of energy drinks.She rubbed her eyes and yawned."So what are we doing today?"

Zuine's face lit up at the thought of sugar and immediately her hands started fidgeting. Sugar would help her at least a bit with the withdrawal she knew she was going to face before getting off the bus. She heard Carla-Lily's request and grabbed a pop from the mini fridge before tossing it over to her.
"That is so cool, I think we should add that as a prelude to Leap of Paranoia", she gushed and turned towards him.
"Candy!" She shouted, but in a whisper 'cause apparently Terel didn't want anyone to hear them. Zuine headed over to his bunk, not even waiting for him, but kept her hands to herself, not wanting to touch his stuff if he had this weird 'that's-my-territory'-quirk.
"How much longer until we get there?" she questioned while glancing back at him.

Claire stared down at Gregory, ignoring the conversations around her. He looked so depressed; he had been in there for awhile. She glanced around at everyone, hoping they wouldn’t mind. Then, without another thought she unzippered the case and Gregory quickly slithered out and up her arms until he was draped around her neck.
"Snake's out," Claire called out to her fellow band mates to warn them of the reptile.
Then she picked her notebook up again and continued chewing her pen. Gregory angled his head to look down at the paper with her. Making them look like two little conspirators whispering and making plans.

Terel laughed slightly and followed Zuine to his bunk. He shrugged when she asked him how long it would be until they could settle into the hotel. "My guess is about 2 hours and 32 minutes...maybe with the additional second or two." He blushed when he realized how nerdy it was that he thought that up.

Unzipping his duffle bag, he reached in. Fumbling around a bit he grabbed a snickers bar and handed it to her. "Have fun." He near-whispered, wondering if she had noticed his anti-socialism.

Standing, he walked back to his corner of the bus and sat down, tapping some random keys before practicing. He played Leap of Paranoia as best he could without the accompaniment and smiled. "I like this song a lot."

Zuine opened the plastic wrapper quickly and accidentally bit her lip because she was chewing in a such a rapid pace. She felt her lip bleed a bit as she turned her gaze into the place where she saw Claire sitting with her pet boa. Zuine snickered a little, knowing that the other girls wouldn't probably be too happy about a snake accompanying their bus tour, but since she had toured all around Africa as well she had gotten used to all kinds of animals around her.

A few steps and Zuine was next to Terel again, nodding her head at the song he was playing and sitting down next to him, feeling like she wanted to have someone to chat with.
"I envy talents like you", she said and took another bite of her bar.

by **WhispersofMe** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:07 pm

Carla-Lily laughed and caught the drink.She opened it up and took a drink."I'm bored.Anyone wanna play truth with me?"She grinned.No one ever played truth or dare with her.She drank some more of her pop and fished in her pocket before pulling out a packet of skittles and starting to eat them.

by **Echo** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:12 pm

Terel smiled at her gracious comment, but didn't reply. He finished the last few chords of the song, then bit his lip and looked at Zuine. "And now, the solo." He looked down at his hands as they tapped keys in a flurry of perfect movements, using his left to change the pitch and voice, creating a mesh of hundreds of pure sounds. He was even amazed at how well he did it, but he stopped soon and ended the song with a heavy chord.

"Well...that is about the best I have ever played this..." Terel whispered, barely audible to Zuine even. "I really need to practice, like everything." He blushed, but didn't look up as he tapped a few more keys, preparing to start another song.

by **pretenderr** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:19 pm

Zuine's mouth dropped open as she saw Terel's fingers dancing on the keys, revealing some of her already chewed up Snickers. She got the message that he wanted her to leave him alone for have time to practice so she got up and walked over to Carla-Lily with a sly smile on her face.
"Bring it on", she said as she sat down next to her on the couch and crossed her legs while giving Terel one more glance.
Her head then dropped a bit as she twisted the now empty wrapper in her hand and threw it somewhere near the trash bin.

by **FollowYourMoonlight** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:22 pm

Claire smiled, listening to her fellow band mates. They all were really good at what they did. She wished she could be really good at something specific. She had always been jumping from class to class, learning how to play every instrument under the sun. Her father allowed her too because he said she had talent, she just had to find what she felt most comfortable with. But none of the instruments gave her the feeling she was looking for. She always imagined that the perfect instrument would feel perfect in her hands and she would easily fall into the music when playing it, feeling perfect.
She was able to fall into music in that way, but only because it was music and music was in her blood. Her father was the founder and conductor of the Ornate Soundings for god's sake. Though, classical wasn't quite her cup of tea.
She pet Gregory's head lightly, continuing to observe her band mates through lowered lashes. Making it appear as though she was still writing. She had never been enough for her father. He had always wanted her to be more. She could play almost anything and conduct with the best yet she still wasn't up to par. It made her wish she wasn't an only child so someone else could have the spotlight in her family.

by **Echo** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:23 pm

Terel frowned, his message obviously poorly recieved as Zuine got up and left. He shrugged and tapped a few more keys, losing interest in his music briefly. He looked over as the snickers wrapper flew to the trash can and instantly felt his hunger rise. He got up and walked over to the bedroom, grabbing his bag and ripping out an AirHead before returning.

Instead of going to his corner, he walked over and sat down besides Zuine and Carla-Lily. He tapped a few keys, took a bite out of his candy, and waited for the game to start. He mumbled while he tapped a key. "I'm in."

"I'm game, Car. Just let me get down there." Ivy replied, climbing down the ladder on her bunk, her eyes wide when she saw Claire. I swear, she's gonna get herself killed one day.

She carefully walked over to the couch, not wanting to send alarms to that damn snake to eat her, then quickly sat down and stole a skittle from Carla-lily's pouch.

by **FollowYourMoonlight** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:27 pm

Claire was a bit of an outsider in the group. Well, at least she felt that way. She didn’t trust easily anyway, so it was best this way, so she thought. So even though she would have willingly played truth or dare, she just continued to watch them. A frown forming on her face. The snake flicked its tongue at her again, attempting to rid her of the frown, but not helping in the least. She just hunkered down more, appearing as though she was very into whatever she was writing.

by **WhispersofMe** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:46 pm

Carla-Lily grinned."Ok so I shall go first!"She thought for a moment and then grinned."Terel truth or dare?"

by **pretenderr** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:49 pm

"Oh come on Claire, we won't bite", Zuine hollered and signed with her hand to get her to come over: "It's a nice way to get to know one another!"
She shifted her position a little so she was leaning her back against Terel's arm with a fraction of her weight and looked over at Claire, waiting for Carla-Lily to come up with the first question. The skittles were disapperaing quickly from Car's hand so she decided to reach for a couple as well before she had run out.
"Ooh, this is going to be great", Zuine said sarcastically, feeling bored when thinking how much they still had to go.

by **Echo** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:50 pm

Terel ran the thoughts through his head. 'Truth usually means I will get asked something based on a past relationship...dare means I will have to do something humiliating. Since I don't really care about my past relationships, truth seems to be the safer option...' He nods and smiles slightly. "I pick...hmm...truth."

Waiting for the response, Terel strummed a few keys lightly, vibrating them under his fingertips. He tapped down once or twice more, then stopped and looked at Carla.

(The 'sjldjsl' stuff is thought, not speech.)

by **FollowYourMoonlight** on Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:59 pm

Claire continued to watch them; she had once played truth or dare quite often. In ways that were highly unlikely of this group of people, and if they were she would quit the band on the spot. Suddenly her phone rang her ringtone the sound of Navi calling ‘Hey! Listen!’ to Link in the game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, showcasing her nerdiness. She jumped up, shocked by the vibrations and sound, also slightly embarrassed by her otherwise awesome ring tone. She picked up her phone and smiled at the caller id. It was Mr. Spotte, calling to check up on her of course.
Her head shot up as soon as Zuine called her, her eyes full of something similar to caution. She looked back to her still ringing phone then back at the group. She shrugged, Spotty wouldn’t mind if she called him back later. She placed her phone down; it had stopped ringing, and then stood up.
"Only if Gregory can come," she said with a twitch of a smile on her face.
