Prologue

Two girls with dark curly hair occupied the garage slash makeshift music room. Whilst the shorter of the two sat cross legged on a nearby workbench, the taller one played a lilting melody on her hot pink electric guitar.

"You are everything to me
The very thing I want to be
You keep me flying so high
The love I take I give back to you
A love so tender and oh so true
That keeps me flying so hi... d**n it!"

"Now young lady, is that any way to talk to a Fender?"

"Sorry, broke my nail and one of the strings at the same time Da.." Amy Lee stopped short and noticed that instead of her dad her dad's best friend was standing at the garage doorway, "Oh it's just you Uncle Dougie."

"Awww, you're not happy to see me?" Dougie asked, pretending to pout, "And I thought you loved to see me."

"I always love to see you Uncle Dougie" Amy Lee answered him with a laugh as she put down her guitar and went over to give Dougie a hug, "How's Aunty Charlie?"

"She's great" said Dougie with a smile, "Still gorgeous as ever."

"Glad to hear it" Amy Lee laughed

"So Tink," Dougie said to the small girl sitting on the workbench, "how are you these days?"

"M'okay"

"Are you guys still coming to mine and Aunty Charley's party?"

"Yep"

"Sure"

"Okay, you've gone into one word answers" Dougie laughed, shaking his head, "Guess I'd better go find your dad, Aimz. See you guys later"

"Seeyou"

"Later Uncle Dougie"

The second Dougie left the garage Amy Lee turned and looked at Tink with one eyebrow raised. "Okay," she said, trying not to laugh, "you can stop drooling now."

"Hey," Tink answered her, putting on an innocent face, "can I help it if he's my idol?"

"So long as you're not idolizing my dad," Amy Lee retorted with a laugh, "that's fine with me."

"And why would that be, Miss Amy Lee Jones?"

"Because I see enough of my dad as it is" Amy Lee replied, sitting down to fix her broken guitar string, "As much as I love my dad to bits, I try to keep out of the way when he and mum are doing 'kissy face'. And besides, it's too weird thinking of other females trying to snog Dad."

"Somehow I don't see your dad ever wanting any other woman except your mum"

"Oh please," Amy Lee said, making a little face, "can we not talk about my parents' love life? They're the best and everything, but usually when they start cuddling in front of me and Reuben, I retreat to my room and write songs."

"Which reminds me" Tink said calmly as she took a luminous flier out of her bag with the words 'Battle of the Bands, 20th July, Enter your band NOW!!' printed on it in bold letters, "I think you should enter this."

"Um Tink?" Amy Lee said, looking at her best friend like she'd asked her to dance naked at an ice rink, "I'm not in band."

"Ah but you will be Aimz" Tink answered her with a wink, "Roanna, Dion, and Daisy-Mae are all up for it."

"All up for what?"

"You'll see"

Chapter One

"Because obviously"

"Ro!"

"He's out of my league"

"Ro!"

"I'm wasting my time"

"Ro!"

"'Cause he'll never be mine"

"Ro!"

"And I know I'll"

"Ro!"

"Never will be good enough for him"

"Roanna Jane Fletcher stop singing and come downstairs and answer this phone before I tell your friend Tink that you've joined a pack of rugby playing nuns in The Alps!"

Upon hearing her dad's urgent sounding voice Roanna stopped singing and ran downstairs, grabbing the phone from his outstretched arm. "Hey Tink," she spoke into the mouth piece cheerily, "how's it going?"

"Why, thank you so much for holding the phone for me Dad" Roanna's dad began to mutter, starting to have a one sided conversation with himself as he walked off to do more important things, "Oh it's no problem Ro. Anything for you Ro. Not like I have better things to do than standing around holding the phone for my seventeen year old daughter. Honestly! Kids these days"

"I'm alright" came Tink's reply on the other end of the phone, "Does your dad know that talking to yourself is the first of madness?"

"Yeah," Roanna sighed, brushing a lock of long blonde hair out of her brown eyes, "we've tried telling him that, but he just does the 'Dad' face and says nothing." Fits of laughter were heard at both ends of the phone line. "Anyway," Roanna said after she and Tink had calmed, "you must have called for a reason. What's up?"

"I told Aimz about The Battle of the Bands"

"Nice one"

"Still up for this little project of ours?"

"Of course I am" Roanna laughed, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Cool beans" Tink replied cheerily, "I'll contact the others and drag Miss Jones down to the old music hall. Meet you there at 1:30pm?"

"Sure, I'll see you there"

"Great! And Ro?"

"Yes Tink?"

"Don't forget to bring your guitar"

Chapter Two

"Daisy-Mae Mary Judd," Daisy-Mae's mother called up the stairs, "you have five seconds to get out of the bathroom and downstairs before your father decides he'd rather not take you to your mystery band practice at the old music hall. 1..."

The sound of clattering could be heard from inside the bathroom.

"2..."

"I'll be down!" Daisy Mae called from inside the bathroom, hopping about from one foot to the other as she put on her pink socks with the black stars and her black and pink retro Converse trainers, "Just cladding my feet!"

"3..."

Daisy Mae quickly ruffled her hair, put on her thin black satin hair band, and threw open the bathroom door.

"4..."

The young blue-green eyed sixteen year practically flew downstairs coming to a standstill at the bottom.

"5" Daisy-Mae's mum finished as her dad Harry handed her her drumsticks, "Well, that's certainly an improve of your last timing of ten seconds."

"What can I say?" Daisy-Mae said, pretending to show off, "I learned from the best." Her dad ruffled her hair and gave her a big fatherly hug.

"That's my little girl" he said, kissing the top of Daisy-Mae's head before lifting a lock of her hair, "Hmmm, what's this supposed to be?"

"You call it hair, Dad" Daisy-Mae answered him grinning cheekily, "I'd look weird without it."

"Yeah, I know it's hair," Harry responded back, rolling his eyes, "but why's it all pink? Shocking pink for that matter."

"Oh you know kids these days, Haz" Ali answered him, coming to Daisy-Mae's rescue, "If they're not changing their coloured contacts every day, they're dying their hair weird colours every fortnight. Just be glad that hair products nowadays means you won't every have a bald daughter in the future."

"Actually, I think it looks quite cool" Harry said with a smile as soon as his wife finished, "Somehow it suits you Dais."

"Thanks Dad"

"Alright, did you cleanse?"

"Yep"

"Toned?"

"Of course"

"Moisturized?"

"Certainly, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom"

"Hmmm," Daisy-Mae's dad leaned towards her and peered at her face, "is that a spot I see?"

"What? Where?" the young pink haired teenager ran frantically over to the hall mirror, "I don't see any spot! Mum have I got a spot??"

"No you don't, dear" her mum answered her calmly, cuffing the back of Harry's head, "Your dad was just teasing you. Weren't you dear?"

"Yeah," Daisy-Mae's dad answered, rubbing his head, "of course. Sorry Dais."

"S'okay Dad"

"Well, let's get this show on the road then."

"Alright! Watch out world! Project Band is about to commence in twenty minutes! Hold on to your seats!"

Chapter Three

Dion checked his watch again for what seemed like the hundredth time. "Where are they?" he murmured out loud as he fixed the E string on his four string bass guitar, "They should be here by now."

"They'll be here"

"Oh and why's that?"

"Because I say so," said Dion's girlfriend Sam, sticking her tongue out stubbornly at him, "and because I'm your smart witty girlfriend who knows everything and who you'd be lost without. That's why"

"Wow!" Dion chuckled, leaning over and kissing Sam on the lips, "I guess you're right." They were almost lost in the kiss when...

"Ewww, get a room you guys!"

"See" Sam said smugly, pulling away and kissing Dion on the nose as the just arrived Daisy-Mae made gagging noises behind them, "I'm always right. " "Isn't that right Ro?" she added as Roanna walked through the door: her guitar strapped across her back.

"Oh yeah" Roanna answered her, nodding sagely, "Girls are always right and don't you forget that D ol' boy"

"Forget what?" Amy Lee asked bewildered as she walked in carrying her sticker covered guitar case in her right hand: Tink strolling along behind her, "Did you forget your head again Dion?"

"Haha very funny" Dion said rolling his blue eyes at his friends dry wit, "You girls would be lost without me."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah"

"We'll see about that" Tink laughed, sitting down cross-legged on the floor, "For now we need you for our musical adventure to the land were we battle the bands."

"Musical adventure?" Amy Lee asked baffled, "Talk sense Tink."

"Yay! Musical adventure! Woo hoo!" Daisy-Mae shouted before stopping and clearing her throat, "Um what Aimz said."

"I know what she's talking about" Roanna said smiling wryly, "Don't you D?"

"Why of course" Dion nodded, standing up straight, "Care to enlighten our uninformed one, Tink"

"Certainly Dion" Tink answered him with a wink, "Welcome everyone to Project Band"
