You Saved Me

Ashley's POV: Well, that was interesting to say the least, and it actually put everyone in a much better mood from what I can tell. Katie's always been good at cheering people up, and the ways she does it can range anywhere from a simple joke to a full out presentation, like what she and her friends did just now.
As we settle back into the swing of things, I can tell Andy's still stressing hard over the record. I think we're all pretty stressed about it to tell the truth, but then our buddy walks into the room and says, "I did it!"
"Did what?" Jinxx asked, looking up from some sheet music he's been working on all day, for the violin parts.
"I got you guys an extention!" he calls out.
"How? When?" Andy asked, looking up at him from the sofa.
"Talked to the label, and they gave us until January," he says, dancing around the room.
"Oh, thank God! You're a life saver, man," Andy says, slumping forward, completely relaxed at that moment in time.
"What all do you still have to do?" Katie asked.
"More than we should have to do. I think we bit off a little more than we could chew in such a short amount of time," Andy tells her.
"Like what?" she presses.
Then Andy sits bolt straight, looking ahead with wide eyes, and finally looks at Katie with the same wide eyes, as a smile appears on his face. He then says, "Katie? How would you like to get a taste of what it's like making a music video?"
"Umm...Sure, why not?" she says, shrugging her shoulders.
"Which one?" I ask Andy.
"Coffin," he states, then says, "Alright, awesome. You do know the song I'm talking about, right?"
"Course. Why wouldn't I?" she says.
"Alright. Red? Rocket? Would you like to be as well?" Andy asked, looking at the two lovebirds.
"That would be amazing!" Red cries out.
"I'm in. What do we have to do?" Rocket says, leaning back in the chair, and wrapping an arm around Red.
"We have a basic idea of what we want to do," Andy tells them, "Jinxx, call Alicia for me, would you?"
"Sure, man?" Jinxx says, pulling his phone out and dialing the number, "What do you want me to say?"
"Ask if she has some time to come out to the studio," Andy tells him, and he nods.
A few moments later, Jinxx says, "She was already on her way here."
"Exilent," Andy says with a huge smile, then we wait until Alicia walks into the room. We all greet her, and I introduce her to Katie, Red, and Rocket.
"Alright, so here I am. What did you want to talk about?" she asked, once we've all settled back in.
"We were about to hash out the final details of the Coffin video," Jake tells her, picking up his guitar again.
"Alright," she says.
"So, as you know, we are going to have the setting basically at a funeral, but the difference is, when you and, oh, let's go with Red, open the coffin, I'll be in it, dressed as Andy 6. Throughout the video, I want to show almost like this ritual being preformed at the funeral. Rocket, you'll be in the crowd at the funeral, and hmm...I want something almost out of the ordinary for Katie," Andy explains.
"Well, why not have her maybe take the pentacharm you used to always wear?" I offer.
"That might not be a bad idea," Andy says, pointing at me.
"And after that, maybe everyone in the crowd tries to take it from me, but as a protection charm of sorts, since you said you want it similar to a ritual, a flame comes out of nowhere," Katie says.
"Striking all of us down, and the charm goes flying," Rocket adds.
"Think we could make that happen?" Andy asked Richard and Patrick, who had been here all day helping to figure out what we wanted for this video.
"Shouldn't be too hard," Patrick says, with a shrug, "We'll add on small touches here and there as the filmming progresses, if you want."
Andy nods, then says, "Alright. Sounds great, man. See you tomorrow then?"
"That would be great. We can film you guys preforming the song, while those three are in school, and once they get there we can move on to the storyline," Patrick says, shaking everyones hand, then he and Richard leave.
Katie's POV: This is awesome! I'm going to be in the Coffin music video with two of my closest friends! I can't wait until tomorrow, and I'll just talk to Ashley then, like after the video's done being filmed.
"Hey, do we need to gather up more people for the crowd?" Red asked all of a sudden.
"It would help. You have anyone in mind?" CC says.
Red smirks at me, then says, "Maybe. What do you say, Mic? Get Bunny, Echo, and their brother in on it?"
"If they want to, that would be awesome. I just hope Bunny doesn't have a spaz attack like earlier, when we told her who I was," I say, shrugging at her.
"Right? God, that was horrible, but funny as hell," Red says, winking at me.
"Right? Oh, by the way, I kept forgetting to ask, did you get what I asked you too?" I all of a sudden remember the gauges I asked her to get me from her work.
"Oh, right. They're in my locker still. Still in the bag and everything," she says, "Want me to go get them reall quick?"
"If you want to. Take my car if you do," I tell her, tossing the keys at her, "Just know if there's even a scratch on my baby, I'll have your tits for it."
She smirks at me, then says, "Wouldn't dream of wreaking such a beautiful car."
"You know, when you use that tone, I can't deside if you're being serious or if you're being a smart ass," I say.
"You'll just have to find out," she says, skipping out of the studio, and when I shoot a glare at Rocket, he laughs and says he'll go with her.
"No cum stains on the seats either!" I shout after him.
"Got it!" he shouts back, then we hear the front door shut, and the engine of my car rev up. Ugh. I'm going to regrete letting Red drive my car. I know I am.
"Have some faith in them," Alicia says, bringing me from my thoughts.
"I dare you to get to know how insane those idiots are, then tell me you wouldn't worry about them driving your car," I tell her.
"What kind of car is it?" she asked.
"Her's is that sweet 1965 Mustang convertable with the custom paint job," Ashley tells her, and her eyes widen at me.
"I wouldn't allow anyone behind the wheel other than myself, if that was my car!" she cries out in horror.
"And now you feel my pain," I tell her.
"You're right, I do," she says shaking her head.
