Chapter o2. Not the right kind of style

"WHAT??!!"

Roadies, Groupies, Security, Billy and Summer said at the same time.

"What the hell Finn? CHURCH???? Not even half of us go to church! Not even me, Summer the oh so perfect teacher's pet Hathaway goes to church. How the hell are we supposed to perform inside a church? We perform music that's loud and banging! Not some ballads and gospel songs!"

"SSSSSHHHHH! Would you pipe down? The band's gonna hear you!" Dewey half whispered, half said.

"Then how would you care to explain the fact that we're going to perform in front of old people, children who are too young to complain and people who are too obsessed with the belief in God? Look Dewey, I believe in God, okay? I go to church sometimes, but not for a gig!"

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Summer, if you don't lower your voice one more time, I'm going to send you back to Nursery school, shut up now."

He sighed, this was not how he imagined it would be. He was forced to agree anyway, so he was the one taking all the anger from the members when it clearly was not his fault.

"Look, it's like this. All of your parents came up to me yesterday and talked to me about our performances. They said, we should at least get some formal ones. I suggested some, but they didn't agree. They all thought it was "inappropriate." So your oh so dear mother suggested that we at least become a choir in church, even just for a day. Then all of your wonderful parents agreed with her and I was about to say something. That was until they said that they will break up the band for good unless we perform in church. So I pretty much didn't have a choice now did I?"

The members backed away a little since they could hear that hint of temper in Dewey's voice. Summer sighed.

"Shall I go tell the band?"

"NO! Of course not. If you tell them they wouldn't perform tomorrow and the band will break up."

Summer sighed yet again. This sighing thing is becoming more often. She just gave up and kept her mouth shut, just like everyone else. They went back to their usual places, which was either the sofa, the dining table or the kitchen and started doing their work. Billy was furiously sketching on his drawing pad. How the hell was he going to make something…frilly? He could do glitter rock, glam and fabulous but…frilly? Eleni and Michelle groaned. They're going to do a lot of candle and ribbon shopping later. Gordon and Marco opened Gordon's computer and sighed when they didn't even open SwishMax, Adobe or even Paintshop Pro, and for the first time opened Microsoft Power Point. Frankie and Leonard synched their watches to the time the mass was going to start and also started to fix their walkie talkies.

The band was practicing another ballad song, which they oddly didn't know the lyrics of. Apparently it was one of the gospel songs they were going to perform, but Dewey didn't dare told them the lyrics, or else they would probably destroy all their instruments in front of him.

The days passed and the only thing that was on the band's mind was: ballad, ballad, BALLAD. Dewey put blindfolds on the eyes of the band members just so they wouldn't see the venue. He told them it was "surprise." But actually, he just didn't want to get his ass kicked. They arrived, Dewey fixed his bow tie and sighed once again. He's definitely going to be killed after this. The crew guided the band in the church, minus Frankie and Leonard who stayed outside. And once they got into the front, the crew took off each of the band's blindfold carefully and slowly. They all had excited faces on, especially Freddy. That was until, they found out their venue.

"I think I know what's going to happen…"

Summer started.

"Zack's gonna have his jaw dropped…"

And so he did.

"Lawrence will probably drop his book…"

And a hard-bound one to be exact.

"Tomika, Alicia and Marta's gonna lose their voices."

They couldn't even open their mouths.

"Katie's gonna close her eyes again…"

With her hands too.

"And Freddy's gonna curse."

"WHAT THE FUCK!!! Dewey! Where the fuck are we???"

Summer shook her head in dismay.

"You're all so predictable."

"You, my boy, are in church." A priest behind Freddy spoke up. He calmed down a bit and looked at the 50 year-old man behind him.

"Oh. OH. Hey man, I'm sorry for the word-"

"Don't worry. I used to talk like that back then."

"You? Talked like me? Yeah right."

"Hmm? You don't believe me? Why don't you hand me those sticks over there."

Freddy furrowed his eyebrows and handed him his drum sticks. He then went behind Freddy's assembled drum set and started drumming up a drum solo.

"Whoa! You know how to drum?"

"Not only that."

He took the guitar from Zack's hands and was melting their faces. After that he went on to Lawrence's keyboard and were putting together notes that they thought were impossible to put together. And lastly, he took Katie's bass and did an awesome bass riff.

"Whoa dude! Cool…for a 50 year-old priest."

Freddy said, as he hi-5'd the man.

"Thanks. I was once in band. Apparently we didn't work out and had to break up. We didn't perform in churches though. I guess the modern times change huh?"

"Actually no. We didn't want this."

Freddy said as he glared at Dewey, who threw his hands up in the air.

"Hey this isn't my fault. It's their 'rent's fault." he said pointing to the band and crew.

"Yeah. It is."

Summer spoke up.

"Our parents said that if we didn't be a choir in church for at least one mass, they would permanently break the band up."

She finished as she checked everything on her list.

"See. Told you it wasn't my fault."

They all sighed and finally, Freddy spoke up.

"What's the first song?" He said giving up.

"I'll tell you that later. Meanwhile, Billy, why don't you…"

Dewey gestured him to take out the outfits inside the bags he carried. He gave each band member their outfits, for them to put it on. They all went inside the nearest bathroom and changed. And when they got out…

Katie was wearing a chocolate colored sleeveless Sunday dress, that went just an inch below her knees. It had a medium sized white ribbon in the middle that was wrapped around her waist. She also had a white headband that had a ribbon on the side, similar to the one in the middle of her dress, only smaller. Marta, Alicia and Tomika were all wearing the same thing, only in colors pink, orange and blue but were not wearing headbands. Instead, they had their hair tied in half ponytails with white ribbons. Freddy, Zack and Lawrence were wearing black suits that fitted them perfectly. Billy didn't want anything too frilly, so he stuck with simple instead.

"Wow Falduto, these outfits aren't as horrible as the ones you had me and Katie wear in fifth grade."

Freddy said, really admiring his suit.

"I'll take that as a compliment, Frederick."

Billy said, quite proud of his work, since Freddy only praised them once in a while.

"Hey good work Billy. Freddy actually looks sane this time."

Katie said, chuckling.

"Oh come on Brown, I know you love me. I look hot, don't I?" he said winking at her.

"Eww. Disgusting." she said almost throwing up.

"Okay, okay. Enough of your bickering and set-up." Dewey said, as if he really was excited.

The mass went on for about 2 hours. Dewey sat in front. He wasn't allowed to play with the band, since it would just look weird to most people. The whole 2 hours contained of his snoring, Gordon and Marco's constant pressing of the next button on the computer, Eleni and Michelle's stare at the priest, Billy's drawing on his pad, Summer waking up Dewey, Frankie and Leonard's absence and the band's ballad music. Yup, this definitely was the highlight of their year…not.

The mass finally ended and all the parents had big smiles on their faces which irritated Dewey in every single way. He was glad all of it was done.

"We are not doing this again. EVER." Katie said, never wanting to repeat the experience, ever again.

"Don't' worry. Our gig next week is better than this."

Dewey said smiling at them.

"What gig?" They all said at the same time.
