Appearance:

Archie sat across from Greg in the limo with the rest of the band -Akira and Trabis- on the way to negotiate their appearance in The Battle of the Bands. This was their shot at proving Toxic Paint was the number one band in America and should therefore stay that way.

Greg sat with his arms crossed as he looked out the window, not saying anything really, but rather listening to everyone elses' conversations to see if there was anything he could add to the conversation. It wasn't that he didn't like to talk, he just didn't like to talk when it wasn't neccessary.

Archie looked at Travis and Akira, "So aren't you excited! We get to play ANOTHER gig! Just so we can prove what everyone already knows!" he said with sarcastic happiness. Archie loved playing gigs, but not unneccessary ones. Why would proving they were number one in The Battle actually make a difference? Wasn't it the charts that mattered? Not that Archie was actually thinking of any of that. He was just raining on everyone's parade- everyone who wanted to do this, anyway. They did decide it as a band, but the only reason Archie agreed was becaise Greg bribed him with peanut butter cups- Archie's number one weakness.

Travis nodded bobbing his head to the beat of the music in the limo "ohhh heck yea it's going to be awesome as usual i mean hey were the best band in the states and its going to stay that way nobody can stop us "he said in a cocky tone as he stood up and did what they call a little victory dance in the limo.

Then the limo drove over a speed hump making the limo jump a bit and without realizing it Travis bumped his head on the ceiling of the car."ughhh...oww.....it hurts"he rubbed his head looking up at the ceiling

Akira laughed at Travis's reaction "you shouldn't celebrate yet Travis we didn't even play yet"she smiled then took a sip of her drink.

"ohhh be quiet Alex-andra you know that were going to make a great preformance"he smirked sticking out his tongue at her.

Akira cocked her head towards Travis's direction "huh?...what did you call me Travis"she held her glass in her right hand then squeezed it tightly making it break

"you heard me Al-ex-an-de-ra"he sounded it out to her as a smiled appeared on his face.He loved pushing peoples buttons especially Akira's buttons it was like feeling of adrenalin rushing through his veins.

Archie laughed at Travis' efforts, "Yeah, man!" he said, "We're so good, we might not even do this, and we'd still win." he said, the cocky tone showing in his voice too. Archie didn't have faith in much, but their band was one thing he had complete faith in. He laughed as Travis hit the roof after the bump, but said nothing as he started taunting Akira- even Archie wasn't that stupid, though, he did occassionally enjoy when Travis did it. The problem was that Travis did it way too often for his own good. He looked nervously at Greg, who was still looking out the window, apparently unaware of what was going on in the limo. Archie looked away and out the window as well, pulling out a ceral bar and taking quiet bites as to not draw attention for himself- for once.

Greg heard the glass break and closed his eyes slowly with a quiet sigh. "That's enough Travis." he said looking into the limo for the first time since he got in, "If you have to bother her, do it when she doesn't have a weapon, is in an enclosed space, or around me. And don't call her that, just because you know she hates it, doesn't mean it's a weapon." Greg was the oldest one in the band, and it showed in his maturity. Unfortunately for him, it also meant mediating Archie and Travis, and usually cleaning up their messes as well. He then looked directly at Akira, "Just put your headphones in, Akira, don't let him bother you. Don't listen to him."

"why you little-"she was about to get up and knock the crap out of Travis until Greg came in and stopped them Akira sighed then nodded "yea...i guess..."she then placed the pieces of broken glass in a cup holder then looked around in her purse for her ipod and her red skull candy headphones and placed it on her neck as she looked for a good song to listen to.

"b-but it soooo much fun!!!!!!"he complained slouching in his seat "man....i wanna play now...."he pouted looking out the window.Playing in front of a crowed always made him release his stress and forgets about everything around him it made him happy and relaxed

"stop complaining goodness we're about to be there soon"she said just before she put her headphones in her ear and started listening to Devour by Shiningdown.

"easy for you to say at least you have something to do"he glared at Akira then crossed his arms infront of him sulking in the corner of the door.

Greg turned back to the window and resumed staring blankly out the window.

Archie addressed Travis' remark after it was over with, "Dude, I soooo could go for playing right now too. But the Battle isn't till tomorrow night, is it? We're here to sign up tonight, aren't we? Ugh, I'm so booooooored!" he asked.

Greg didn't look back at them he just said, "If you're so bored, why don't you two play patty cake then?" he told, directing his comment to Travis and Archie, "And yeah, we don't actually perform until tomorrow."

"hmmm...nahhhh i rather play poker.."he sighed then remembered he had a stash of cards in the limo "speaking of which....would anyone want to play"he smirked pulling out the cards from between the seat cushions "we could make it interesting winner has to kiss Akira"he snickered

Akira then heard her name being called and heard bits and pieces of what Travis said "huh...winner does what"she removed a part of her headphone from her ear so she could hear a lot more clearly.


"ohh you don't have to worry Akira just listen to your music"he smiled then looked at the others "well what do you say shall we play?..come on you two you know you want too "he smirked

"im afraid of what your trying to do Travis...."she said not sure if she should put back on her headset or not.

Archie said, "I'll take that!" he laughed, it would be interesting to watch Travis try and kiss Akira. He'd get killed for sure. He turned towards Travis, "You're so dead." he laughed more darkly now.

Greg didn't respond to any of what was going on. Mentally, he just shook his head and continued observing the passing world outside the limo.

Travis sighed "alright then its just you and me Archie are you ready cos you know your going to lose"he smirked then took the cards out of the box then started to sort the cards out.

Akira looked over at them playing cards then rolled her eyes and placed her headphones back on and continued to listen to her music

Archie laughed, "Yeah, you wish!" he said, "Let's do this! How we playin' this? What are Aces?"

Greg breifly looked back into the limo, looking at the boys and rolling his eyes, and looking briefly at Akira, with no specific expression at all.

Travis stared at Archie "you dont know how to play poker hmm...well i can't really explain it....here lets play slap jack"he smiled then gave him his stack of cards.

Akira looked out the window then from the corner of her eyes saw Greg looking over at her direction.She then looked over and at Greg "is something the matter"she asked quietly pausing her music for a moment.

"I thought in poker Aces could have different values depenin' on how you play." He blinked, he was pretty sure it was poker, but he'd been taught so many card games, he often got them confused, "Alright, wahteva, explain it anyway." he said.

Greg was about to look away when Akira actually spoke to him, "Huh? Oh, no." he smiled a little. He didn't look away right away, he didn't want to be rude.

"hmm well thats true...well this is how you play slapjack The goal is slap every Jack card that turns face up before me....but i bet you wont because im pretty fast at this game"he smirked "well anyways the winner is person with the quickest hands and the largest pile of won cards....so are you ready..."he said as he looked at the cards in his hand "...or are you scared"he stuck his tongue at him.

Akira smiled back and nodded "ohh okay just checking"she then turned on her music again and looked out the window

(We need to skip ahead a bit, and skip the card game, because this is starting to drag on unpleasantly.))

Archie's eyebrows furrowed, "I don't get the point of this, but whatever." Archie hated games without strategy. He often liked to prove how quick-witted he was.

He smiled again, a little more sincerely, then turned to the window again, slower this time.

It wasn't long after that they reached where they needed to be: the stadium where they'd register to be in the Battle of the Bands. Greg jumped out quicker than anyone, and Archie followed, dragging Travis with him. He excitedly ran towards the building, not bothering to wait for the others. Greg, on the other hand, waited not far from the car for Akira. He was too much of a gentleman to just leave her behind.

(okay thats perfectly fine with me i was starting to get a little bored there to lol)

Akira saw they boys dash out of the limo and then noticed that she was the only one there "wow....there so rude...but then again boys will be boys" Akira mumbled then sighed as she shook her head then exited out of the limo to see Greg waiting for her.She smiled then walked towards her "you actually waited for me how sweet"she smiled then saw the guys were already inside the building.

Travis was racing towards the table where they would sign up for the competition "yes were here!!!"he laughed then wrote down there bands name."ahhh i just wish that we could just preform today..."he sighed

Greg smiled a little, and even blushed slightly, but it wasn't totally noticable in the lighting, "Well, knowing them, you can't really expect much. They're sort of idiots." he laughed a laugh that matched his voice, low and seemingly dark, yet inviting in a sort of way.

Archie laughed, leaning on the table as well, watching what Travis wrote, "Dude, I know! If we could go on now that'd be sweet."

The woman standing behind the table the boys had rushed blinked. She took a step up to the boys, watching Travis as well. She looked down at the writing, tilting her head, "Toxic Paint?! You're playing here?!" she asked, her eyes widening, a smile on her face, "I'm a huge fan!" she said with a big grin, "It says you're preforming last tomorrow, so you'll be the grand finale!" she smiled, eyeing Archie and Travis, as though one wasn't good enough that she needed to absorbed both.

Akira blushed lightly and nodded "well that's true...at least your not like them"she smiled brightly "well we should head back inside i bet the others won't miss us but i would like to go inside its kinda getting cold in here"she shivered a bit as she headed towards the double doors.

"ohhh really your a fan would you like are autograph"he gave her his signature smile that would make any woman alive drool"really were are that's great!....but would that be fair to the other bands"he said looking at the woman behind the desk."i mean i wouldn't mind it but im just asking"he smiled

Greg laughed half a laugh at her pointing out he wasn't like the others, "Yeah, I have a brain." he smiled. He nodded and smiled again, "Alright, let's go. Besides it'd be better not to leave them alone, who knows what shenanigans they'll get into without us."

Archie rolled his eyes at Travis, "Geez, lay it on a little thicker, why don'tchyah?" he laughed, then looked to the woman who was still smiling like a goof, "Who are we on after?"

The woman thanked Travis in a high-pitched voice only a fangirl could accomplish, then looked as though she would cry. She looked at Archie with the same smile, and then down at her list, "Uhm, Chocolatima's on before you. And I think it's totally fair you are the show stopper! You guys are the best..." she said, then looked up, "Can I have your autograph too?"
Archie smiled at her, "Sure." he said, signing a random piece of paper she handed him, "here you are, hun." he smiled and winked, "Well, Trav, I think it's time we go find the other two, give 'em the good news!"

Akira sighed "well that's true...hopefully they aren't destroying anything inside there"she prayed that they wouldn't ruin anything as they were walking into the main lobby.

"aww your soo sweet"he smiled then gave her a piece of paper that he found "alright babe here ya go"he then looked up to see that Akira and Greg were here "wow...what took you guys soo long were you two making out inside the limo or something"he laughed

Akira blushed deeply and shook her head "nooo you weirdo! you two just ran out the car before i even got out"she growled fuming.

Greg nodded in agreement, "I'd hate a repeat of thata hotel in Chicago. After what they did to that water fountain, we should have kept them in crates." he half laughed. His little brother and Travis were always looking for trouble, and they always found it, and when they weren't looking for it, it definately found them.

Archie looked back at Greg with a huge grin, "So, how was she?" he winked, heavy on the implications. Then he laughed at Travis' comment.

Greg glared at the both of them, "You wish you freaks."

Akira rolled her eyes "ohhh you two are sooo annoying"she sighed. "why can't you two be normal for once and act your age"she glared at them both.


"aww but its soo much fun not acting like your age you two should try it especially you Greg"he laughed

Archie laughed, but said nothing else. He looked around, noticing the other bands gawking at them. Oh yeah, they knew who they were. Everyone knew Toxic Paint.

Greg rolled his eyes, "Are we signed up already?"

"yep yep i did"he grinned walking towards them.


"alright thats good...."she sighed in relief "i thought you guys probably wrecked the place like last time"she rolled her eyes.

"well we didn't and goodness that was a long time ago and we didn't mean to it just wouldn't give us water so we thought we could fix it...."he rolled his eyes "i mean come on people make mistakes "

"ohh then what do you call two pee brains who couldn't find the button to turn on the water fountain when it was on the left side of the tank"she glared at them both

((Lol, water fountain was supposed to mean an actually fountain, like a decoration, not a place to drink. xP ))

Greg rolled his eyes, "Fixing it, right." he half laughed.

Archie glared at Travis, though he was only annoyed, not hateful. He just got annoyed with how full of himself Travis got sometimes.
