♥ Introduction ♥

xxxxxxxIf e v e r y t h i n g you knewxxxxxxx

Meet four friends. Four best friends. They've been together for years and, until recently, could only dream of becoming famous. They were just a group of friends that played songs on their instruments in the garage. Then they were discovered by a major record company. Now that they've hit the big time, things should get easier, right?

xxxxxxxWas a l i exxxxxxx

Then again, if things had gotten easier, there would be no story. In fact, things may not have gotten easier, but they didn't seem to have gotten any worse...The thing is, each friend has a secret, and while one may not be as big as another's, they still have the capability to hurt their friends and also the band. So how will the secrets be dealt with when they come out? Why are you asking me? You're the one with the keyboard....

xxxxxxxWhat would y o u do?xxxxxxx

♥ Profiles ♥

Okay so here goes. I'm already giving you most of the information. What isn't given is what I want from you in a PM with the title "Sh! It's a secret!". Oh, and don't forget to tell me which character you want to be! To make it more simple I will need:

Name:
Nicknames:
Personality:
Appearance: (Real Please.)
Anything Else:

The Lead Singer-TAKEN

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Secret: Has a rare disease of the throat, that causes the loss of the voice. She only has one or two more years to keep singing. Oh, and she's totally crushing on the bassist
Personality: Melody is an outgoing girl, she loves to have fun. She finds that she most enjoys hanging out with her friends, and it's easy to be herself around them. She has a bit of a quiet side, but that could also be because of her disease. She is a singer, she hates the disease with every fibre of her being, but she's learned to deal with it. She has a crush on one of her friends, but is scared that if she reveals that, then she could risk rejection, and making the band awkward. She can be down to earth, but has a bit of a stubborn side to her as well.
Appearance:

Anything Else:She has a small butterfly tattoo on the back of her left shoulder.

The Lead Guitar-TAKEN
Name: Baylee Victoria Raine
Nicknames: Bay, Tori
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Secret: Is totally in love with the drummer, but is hesitant to go out with him because back home, her parents have signed her up for an arranged marriage.
Personality: Put quite simply, Bay is a firecracker. She has a huge temper and, although it doesn't take her a whole long time to calm down, it may take a while. Unless she likes you. Then it might not be that long. She hates people that hurt her friends and will stand up for anyone who can gain her trust. It's not something she gives easily but the girls that she is friends with have it, and she will always be loyal. She might come across as having an attitude, but hey, if she has one, then you did something to set it off.
Appearance:

Anything Else: Nope. I got nothin'.

The Drummer-OPEN
Name:
Nicknames:
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Secret: Returns the guitarist's feelings, but hides a big secret...he's auditioning for a big music school, and the headmaster says he might make it.

The Bassist-TAKEN

Age: 21
Secret: Has been crushing on the lead singer since forever but he's just discovered he's bisexual and he knows that she thinks he's strictly gay.
Personality: Brett is pretty quiet. He likes to keep to himself and doesn't often venture an oppinion on much. When he does it's something he feels strongly about and he tends to get very worked up over it. He's almost forgettable if he were any other person he would be forgettable but once Mickey gets on the bass he becomes a different person.
Appearance:
Anything Else: He doesn't like being called short even though he's barely 5'9".

[imgleft]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f147/Elena-Lyra-Loreta/kay1-1.jpg[/imgleft]Baylee Victoria Raine stretched languidly as she awoke, throwing her covers off of her body before sitting up in bed. With a small yawn, she rubbed her eyes and reached for her robe and a pair of socks. She put the socks on her feet and tied her robe in front of her, that way she would be at least a little bit warm. She didn't really feel like getting dressed yet. She would do that later, after she ate breakfast and woke up a little more. Stretching once more, Baylee sighed and walked out of her room, on the way to the kitchen.

Since she was the first one up, she figured she would make breakfast. It had been a while since the group had had a real cooked breakfast, even though they did have all of the ingredients in the fridge. Before walking to the fridge or the cabinets to get what she needed, Baylee instead walked over to a radio that they had placed on the counter and turned it on. Glad that it was a song she knew and loved, she started to sing along with it. She was nowhere near as good as her friend Melody was, but she wasn't bad.

With a small smile on her face she walked over to the fridge and pulled out all the necessary ingerients for breakfast tacos. As one song turned into the next, Baylee got lost in the music and before long she was dancing as well as singing while she prepared breakfast for the band. The smell of fried bacon wafted through the house as she got lost in her own little world.

He awoke to a popular song on the radio and the smell of food. What drew him more was hard to decide. Brett "Mickey" McIntyre threw on jeans and a t-shirt but that was about as much as he did. Tufts of bright red hair stuck up in unnatural angles leaving him looking even more like an elf than he usually did. Mickey followed his nose to the kitchen. Baylee was lost in her own little world. "God, Bay, that smells so amazingly good" Mickey said wondering if some drool escaped his mouth.

He was hungry. But that was no surprise. He was also male and though he might look like a cute little elf he ate in a manner worthy of a tiger. "Need anny help? Or should I vacate the kitchen?" He okay in the kitchen but he wouldn't be winning any Top Chef in the near future. He could feed himself well enough, but Mickey didn't really like the kitchen.

Looking around Mickey could see that only he and Bay were up. He took a brief moment to wonder where Anne was. Then pushed the though out of his head. Anne had pretty much closed up whatever hopes she had for them getting together, she had it in her head that Mickey was gay. Not bisexual. He hadn't had time to correct that. And it wasn't a situation where you could simply bring it up casually. Oh yeah, she would really respond well if I just said "Oh and by the way. I'm not gay. Just bisexual. And I've had a crush on you since forever". Mickey thought self-deprecatingly.

Baylee jumped when Mickey spoke, but chuckled and grinned at him when she said, "Geez, Mickey! Give a girl a heart attack why don't you?" Still chuckling, she turned back towards the stove finished up the scrambled bacon and eggs.

When he asked if he could help, she replied, "Um...you could get some plates out of the cabinet. It's almost done." She paused as she moved the eggs and bacon off the burner and grabbed a pan and the tortillas. "All that's left are the tortillas, and then everything's done."

Flashing a grin at him, she quickly heated up some tortillas and placed them on a plate that she had previously set next to the stove. She then turned off the burner and carried the tortillas over to the table. Walking back to the stove, she pulled a rag out of a drawer and then carried the bacon and eggs over to the table and set them on the table.

"Dig in." she told him as she walked over to another cabinet and pulledout four glasses. "What would you like to drink?" she asked him, pouring herself some orange juice.

Mickey gave her a lopsided grin. "Sorry, about that" He grabbed the plates that Bay asked for having to stretch the littlest bit to get them.

He turned to sit at the table. "Orange juice is good" He watched Bay move around the kitchen. She was pretty that much one had to admit. But, Mickey hadn't ever really felt more for her than friendship. Just like his other bandmate. The funny thing was, Mickey was pretty sure that she knew the truth. But then there wasn't much hiding when there were four people who lived together.

He didn't like the roads his thoughts were taking this morning. As usual he sat silently. He thanked Bay when she handed him a glass of orange juice.

Melody Anne Karson


Chocolate brown eyes slowly opened, rays of sunshine seeping through the window above the bed. Melody, or better known as either Mel, Anne or Karson, was just starting to get up, her black hair tangled, and her eyes squinting from the light. It was bright in her room, and mixing bright sunshine with waking up wasn't Anne's cup of tea. She sat up, covered her mouth, and yawned. Hopping out of bed, she grabbed a pair of black shorts, and a strapless, plaid shirt(refer to picture) and changed into them. Anne had a sense of humour, and she smiled at her plastic crown she had on her desk. She put on a pink, pearl necklace, as well as a heart shaped locket around her neck, and smiled with satisfaction. She quickly ran a brush through her hair, and placed the crown on her head, fixing her hair so it looked okay. She made her bed, a habit she always had due to her mother, and then left her room, smelling the eggs and bacon from downstairs. She figured Bay had made them breakfast, since she was usually the first one up.

She skipped into the kitchen, a smile on her face as she looked at the food.
"Hey Bay, hey Mickey!" she greeted as she sat at the table. She helped herself to some food, and then poured herself some milk.
"Smells really good Bay" she told her best friend, and band member. Anne lived with her band, and she knew practically everything about them. She glanced over at Mickey, briefly, and then looked down at the food, and picked up a fork, and began to eat. She was starving, she was always starving in the morning. She looked back up at Mickey. Once she had swallowed the food, she gave him a small smile.
"How are you this morning Mick?" she asked, her chocolate brown eyes watching him. She had been crushing on this guy for what seemed like forever, but he was gay, and it kind of made her bury her feelings in a dark place within herself. She would never let anyone know of her crush, no one at all.

((Guys, posting flobs in your posts is not allowed on Menewsha. You can use the first post from a character to post their name and picture, but after that, you cannot post them anymore. :yes: I'm going to remove the flobs from the posts that aren't allowed to have them, so let's remember that in the future, okay? Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. :D))

Mickey lapsed into silence. He didn't like to talk a lot. Soon enough a third member awakened. He glanced at Anne offering her a smile. "Morning. I'm fine. What about you?" He leaned back in his chair absently after finishing his food. He didn't want to leave the kitchen just yet so he didn't. At that moment he probably could've blended into the background despite his wild red hair. Mickey was pretty normal, he didn't seem to have any odd quirks and he was loyal to his friends but then many people were. He glanced at Anne again wondering if she knew that she had a bad pokerface. Well, that was probably his imagination. Just a mirage formed out of longing for a moment.

((I apologize...guess I didn't see that in the rules))

Mel continued to eat as she listened to Mickey's reply. Swallowing her food with a sip of her orange juice, she looked back to Mickey.
"I'm pretty good" she replied, giving him another small smile. She ran a hand through her black hair as she took another sip of juice. After a few more minutes, Mel had finished her breakfast, and stood up from the table. She took her dishes to the sink, and began washing them. She made sure they were sparkling before she dried them off, and put them away. She then turned around and leaned against the counter.
"So what's the agenda for today? I say we hang out at the park or something.." Mel said as she looked from Mickey to Bay. She wanted to go outside at some point today, it was gorgeous out, and Mel wanted to have fun. She wondered if they were going to practice in the garage as well, and silently, Mel hoped she would fully have her voice by that time. Just thinking of her throat made her head hurt. Mel had a condition where she would completely lose her voice at times, and it was never good, considering she was the lead singer. She always wondered why they hadn't put Bay in lead vocals, even though Mel had a bit of a stronger voice.

After a little while of wandering though her mind, she blinked a few times, and looked back at her two friends, waiting for answers. Mel, or Anne as most of her friends called her, had a thing for being trapped in her mind. Her mind was her own worst enemy, literally, yet that's where she spent a lot of her time, especially when she was alone. It wasn't so bad now, she had Bay and Mick to talk to.
"It's a gorgeous day, I think I might go for a walk a little later" she added, looking out the kitchen window. She was always up and ready to go anywhere. She was always so full of energy, and sometimes she found it annoyed her friends. Only when she tried dragging them everywhere all the time. She found it rather amusing herself.

Mickey lifted his head a moment. He took a moment to consider. "It is a nice day. The park would be okay with me" He glanced out the window as if to prove himself right. "There's nothing pressing that demands my attention at the moment" Usually Mickey would grab his bass at some point in the day and just mess around with notes and scales creating songs from the top of his head. He never wrote them down and never managed to replicate one but he did enjoy doing it.

He couldn't sing and he was hopeless on the drum set. Even a regular acoustic guitar gave him troubles. But the Bass was where he was home. He liked to think he was "Brett" then not just "Mickey". Whatever the difference was he didn't know but it was important. Most of the time if he didn't have other things to do that was his entertainment.

"Does anyone want to squeeze in a practice sometime today?" Mickey asked knowing the answer would most likely be yes. They all loved music. Otherwise there would have been no point to forming a band.
