Knowing Rita, Mark didn't need to call Mya.  He was happy that she was there and they could just start practicing.  It was a little different since they both played lead guitar and sang.  Matt kept the beat but they needed to also play with and compliment what the other was doing.  This meant that they were often looking at each other while they were playing.  They couldn't always talk to they used body language and facial expressions to convey their actions.<br/><br/>They made their way through practice but it was almost as if they were flirting or dancing as they worked through the song list.  They tried to keep learning new songs and Nathan said, "I have a song that we finally have enough instruments and voices to pull off.  If we can hit it, we can do anything.<i>Under Pressure, </i>by Queen and David Bowie."<br/><br/>Everyone was surprised that the bass player actually spoke but when he pulled a CD out of his case and hit play, everyone kind of bebooped around wondering if they could keep up with all the changes.  He pulled out some music and passed it around.  Rita was the funniest when she said, "I thought all you did was eat, sleep and fuck.  When did you have time for this?"<br/><br/>Matt had to jump in when and say, "When you were off screwing that other guy."<br/><br/>Nathan laughed but Rita gave him a dirty look, Mya smiled and said, "I bet he was worth it you slut so stop your bitchin."<br/><br/>Another round of laughs had Rita stomp her foot and turn to Matt, "Hey ass hole why don't you kick off the song so we can learn this shit.  I have a date later."  The laughing started again until Matt hit the bass drum and the laughing died off as they started to learn the song from hell.<br/><br/>Mark picked it up fairly easily, he'd played it before but had fun watching the expressions on Mya's face.  After the torture and deciding to give up for now and pick it up again the next day, Mark said, "Mya, now that you are part of the band, do you want to come out and have a beer or two.  We can't afford to get hammered every night but one or two helps us take the edge off and get to know each other better off stage.  Besides, since Rita is going to see her other guy, it would look funny with three guys alone at a table."<br/><br/>Rita said, "Fuck you, Mark.  I'm not a slut and love my Nathan.  He just surprised me."  She looked to Mya, "You in?  I'll protect you from these dorks."
