I could hear the noise before I reached the door of Rotan's quarters. I entered, seeing her slamming on a guitar, dressed in a simple DRI shirt and jeans.
"BITE MY LIP AND CLOSE MY EYES! TAKE ME AWAY TO PARA-DISE! I'M SO DAMN BORED I'VE LOST MY MIND, AND I SMELL LIKE SHHHHHHHIIIT!"
"ROTAN!" I bellowed over her. She stopped instantly.
"Yes?"
"Try again. Our friends back on Earth didn't quite catch that."
"Be kind, Euro-boy, if you weren't late, I wouldn't have started. Here."
She handed over a sheet of music.
"Another Green Day song?"
"Look, they were popular-"
"Three hundred years ago."
"And people haven't heard it. It's a nice change."
"Whatever, Tan." I sat down, pulling a tuner out of my pocket. "W-when is Alex showing up?"
"Shortly. Oh, we have a proformance tonight." I snapped my head up so fast I hurt my neck.
"Ouch! What? Where?"
"In the library. Get your bass fixed, we gotta practice." I hung my head.
"As you say, Captain."


More of a filler...they're sixteen in this short. Not sure where to take it from here.
