Cole turned around the corner, towards the entrance of The Layer. Decked out in a gray blazer, black jeans and a pair of black and white Chucks, he was ready to promote the CD in the store. He and the owner of the record store had made a deal that The Mac Experience could perform, if they cleaned up the store later on. Word had already been spread about the album, but he was about to give them a taste of it, which would probably make them want it more. The boys were going to play every song on the CD for anyone and everyone who came around.
Marinna and Allen-Michael were going to head over later to sing the song they contributed to with the band. He was very excited, he felt like he was walking on air. This was his chance, first Drakesville, then LA. He and the boys were on their way to a life of fame and money, he couldn't hardly wait. As he neared the store, he saw their equipment set up. Grant, Andy and Mark were already there tuning guitars and making sure everything was perfect. "I hope you guys are ready to rock this town!" he yelled as he walked up and put his white, plastice framed sunglasses on. They put the final detail on his retro-style look for today.
"Sure thing," Andy said with excitement, "Everyone in Drakesville is going to be psyched!" "Yeah, man," Grant agreed, "The more excitement, the more ladies." Mark gave Grant a high-five, "Yeah, dude, what are we waiting for?" "Okay," Cole began, "I guess we can start, "We'll just hit the first song and go down until we get to the end, then we can play the bonus songs for them."
"Okay, Dance Hall Drug it is. And a one and a two and a one, two three," Andy said as he banged his drumsticks against each other. The music started and Cole began to sing,
"Grown up
She just turned 16
Stuck in the moment
Dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is the life that you wanted, right?
So turn off all the lights
Dressed up just like a movie star
At all the parties they'll know who you are
Wouldn't it be great, to be fashionably late?
So why don't you wait, till you're sedated
Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?"
When he finished the first verse, the boys jumped in for the chorus,
"Yeah what I'm saying is do you, do you want to lose it all?
Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug"
They continued as a couple of people stopped on the streets to listen to them sing.

Marinna walked up to where the boys were performing. Cole has given her specific instructions to dress retro, but if he thought she was going to go out in the freezing cold dressed in a mini skirt and go-go boots, he was insane. She took a seat in a chair they had near the drums and listened as they performed Dance Hall Drug. This song was one of her favorite on the album, she had gotten a sneak peek a long time ago, when they were recording it. She checked her watch, wondering when Allen-Michael would get there.
Her body was covered in warmth from her black jacket with fur on the hood. Her dark blue jeans were snug around her body, and her long sleeved gray shirt that read, "Oh so retro," fit snuggly. She had worn that shirt just to make Cole think she put in a little effort. Besides, she matched the band. Her feet were covered with purple patent leather heels and a matching purple scarf was wrapped around her neck. Now to wait for the boys to get to the song she was singing with them. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea, to be the boys' cheerleader and yell to the crowd after every song to buy their copy of the CD today.

Faerydea was walking by when she heard a band singing in front of The Layer, it was a really good music store. In front of the band was a huge sign that said 'The Mac Experience'. Oh she thought, she had heard of them. They were supposed to be really good. She decided that she would stop and listen for a little bit, maybe even buy there CD if she had enough money.
She walked toward to store and stood behind a crowd of people who were also listening, they were really good she thought to herself. As she examined the members of the band so noticed one boy who she was pretty sure she had seen at school before, she didn't know what his name was ans she was sure that the others went to her school also but there was just something about this one that stood out. He was the lead singer of this song and he was really good.

Vik walked in. He had the a bandana around his chin, and tied around the back of his neck, and the white bandanna was already slowly turning into red. He looked around at the band, which he heard was good, then looked to the crowd, where he saw Marinna. Thank God she's here he thought to himself. He sneaked in through the back, then put a hand on Rinna's shoulder as he sat next to her.
"Good band," he said looking at them.

"Hell yeah, they're amazing!" she replied loudly, "The lead singer is like a little brother to me. I help him out with his younger brother, Alan. He's autistic and Cole needs a little help sometimes when his mom goes out." She turned around looking at Viktor, "What happened to you?" she asked in reference to the bloody bandana. "Hold that thought," she said as the boys ended their song, "BUY THE CD!!!! The Mac Eperience is AMAZING!" After her quick outburst, she turned back to Viktor.

"Bah, nothing, don't worry about it," He said, looking down. It was starting to bleed again, and he still had that giant red spot on his shirt leading from the collar down to his mid-chest.
"My question is, how are you doing?"

"Thank you! You all should go buy the CD, but we'll be out here until we run out of songs for you guys. So, stick around," Cole said as he stepped away from the mic to get a drink of water. "Alright guys, next one we play is "It's Warmer In The Basement," he said to all the guys. "Cole, dude, it's not like you're the only one who knows all of the songs on the CD," Grant replied playfully hitting him in the forehead. "Alrighty, lets get this show on the road," Andy added. "Yeah, dudes," Mark yelled as he put in his two cents.
Cole walked back up to the mic, "I would like to give a special shout out to our biggest fan, Marinna. We love ya, babe," he said with a wink in her direction. "Our next song is called, It's Warmer In The Basement, we hope you like it." He adjusted the mic a bit and the band begin to play.
"You can't escape now
I've got you locked inside this room
You know I tip good
And soon, you will love me too
Don't be upset now
You know that I get angry too
Don't make me hurt you
It's true
No one hears you in this room"
The other boys joined in once again during the chorus,
"This is what you get
When you're talking back baby
I never bounce a check
So give it up, baby
Open up your eyes
I want to watch you cry
Come on, come on
The camera's on
This is what you get
When you're talking back baby
I never bounce a check
So give it up, baby
Open up your eyes
I want to watch you cry
Come on, come on
The camera's on"
Cole was really getting into it as he was singing now, dancing with the microphone and jumping up and down. Anything to entertain, that's how he always felt about it.

Marinna looked towards the band upon hearing her name. Just in time to see the wink Cole threw out to her, she winked back at him and gave him the thumbs up symbol. "Gah, he's an amazing singer," she said as she turned back to Viktor, "So, you're not going to tell me what happened? I mean, I am your girlfriend."

"Fine, fine," he said with a smile. "I was practicing with the sled for football, but I was a dumb ass and decided to see how well I could control my body while running. So yea, I tripped, and got a small cut," he said, making sure to get every detail sound as benign as possible. He didn't want her to worry, and just enjoy the band. However, he was kind of pissed of how the front man winked at his girl. He wasn't going to say anything publicly, but maybe after the show.

Marinna turned her attention to the stage as Cole threw a bottle of water on his head and shook his soaking wet hair around onto the people in front of him. A few of the girls in the front row freaked out about it, but Marinna just giggled. "I love Cole," she said still giggling, "He's so crazy." They finished this song and decided to take a break, "Don't forget to get your copy in The Layer," she screamed out to the people walking around.
Marinna looked back at Viktor, "So, you fell and got cut? What were you doing exactly?" she asked obviously missing when he first told her. She spotted Cole walking around, he was coming this way. Marinna pretended to listen to whatever Viktor's response was as she quickly primped her hair a little.

Vik didn't say anything. he had a serious look with dissent in his eyes. He was already in pain, which caused him anger. He was now in anger, because this son of a bitch named "Cole" was hitting on his girl. He said nothing, and then sat back. He sat back and waited. he wiated till the end of the show, then he would do something he might regret.

Cole got off the stage for the break and decided to head over and say hello to Marinna and the boy she was with. He approached with Grant in tow. Grant always had a crush on Marinna, mainly because of her beautiful eyes. Cole walked over to her, taking her hand and placing a gentle kiss on it, "Hello, love. Grant and I were talking and decided it would be better to have a beautiful lady such as yourself on stage ASAP for your song. We're thinking that I could take over Allen-Michael's part since he hasn't shown up and we could sing the last part of the song, no?" He looked over quickly at Viktor and nodded his head as if to say hello.

Vik shot him a look that said go to hell. Followed by a gaze that could go through steel wall and steal someone's soul. He never broke gaze. He followed with a nod, but nothing more. he wa spissed, you could tell. He also was clenching his teeth, to hold himself back.
He was gunna teach him a lesson. A big one. It was just a simple matter of time.

Marinna blushed a little bit, Cole was never this charming. Suddenly, it hit her. He was probably planning a prank. Well, whatever it was, she was going to turn it around on him. "Well, I guess we could do that. You do know all the parts. Do you mind if I go on early?" Marinna turned around asking Viktor with a smile.

"Bah, do want you'd like. I'll be here," He said withoput his usual sense of hapiness, or even neutrality. he was pissed, and he couldn't hide it. He was cracking his knuckles, to make sure if he did punch, it wouldn't hurt or make a loud noise.
