Room69, Faith, Xander and Halliwells
Pete, Chris and Adam arrived to set up onstage about an hour before P3 opened. Piper was busy running around, trying to get everything organised when Faith and Xander walked in.
"Yo, Piper, where do you want me?" Faith called out.
Piper turned around. "Um... just behind the bar."
Faith nodded and went over there while Pete leaned over to Chris. "I can tell you where I want her."
Chris shook his head. "She's like... Piper's age. You have no chance, man."
Pete grinned. "Oh, I have a chance."
Chris rolled his eyes and they went back to setting up.
Xander made his way to the bar and sat down on a stool. "You spoken to - "
"Say his name and I will hurt you." Faith bent down to get some glasses. She flipped one in her hand and set it down after a second. "I don't really wanna talk about it." Catching sight of Pete staring at her, she winked at him. She jumped over the bar and flicked the stereo on, and danced back over to Xander. "Come on!" She pulled him up and brought him out onto the dancefloor, while beckoning the other members of the band to join them.
Faith was happily grinding against Pete, Chris, Adam and Xander when Paige and Phoebe orbed in and joined them. Faith took Pete's hand and brought him closer to her. "Hiya. I'm Faith... and you would be..."
"I would be Pete. I saw you at the Ball... but I don't think we met there." Pete wrapped his arms around Faith's waist, grinning when she didn't pull away.
Faith pressed herself closer to Pete. "Ah, so you're in the band, I'm guessing."
"How did you guess?"
"Well you were setting up stuff, and you look like the kind of guy who plays an instrument. You don't play the drums do you? Coz I don't really get along with drummers... well I haven't lately."
"Then you're in luck. Coz I play the guitar."
Faith grinned. "Goodo." She closed her eyes for a second, trying to erase memories of Zac from her mind. She shook her head and looked at Pete again, deciding that maybe it was too soon to be thinking about jumping into bed with this guy. "Hey, look, I should go back to the bar. We're about to open. But hey, save me a dance after your set."
"Sure." Pete and Faith parted ways, Pete still not believing that she was interested in him. Seemingly interested.
Faith made a beeline for the bar. She jumped over it just as people started to file in.
Noah sauntered in, holding his guitar, Alyssa and AJ following. Noah went to the stage and set the guitar up properly and then joined the rest of the band.
Phoebe, Paige and Xander headed to the bar and got some drinks before going over to the couch in the corner and sitting down, watching Piper go behind the bar with Faith and start to serve drinks.
AJ
AJ began headbanging to the music as soon as she entered, even though her boyfriend's band hadn't started playing yet.
Suddenly, she stopped, and grabbed Lys's arm.
"Is this place alien-friendly?" she asked quietly.
Pete, Paige, Chris and Alyssa
Alyssa nodded. "Half... Piper and her sisters are aliens... the staff that work here are aliens... but some of the people that come in aren't. So no using your powers, unless Piper's declared it an alien zone, which she hasn't tonight."
Pete was bounding around, still excited over Faith's apparent interest in him, while Chris was trying to get him to pay attention.
Paige spotted Alyssa and AJ and went over to say hello.
"Hey Lys, hey... AJ, right?" Paige shook her red curls away from her face. "Looks to be getting busy tonight."
AJ
"Gawd dammit," AJ cursed a little, not being able to use her power.
She was kind of getting used to alien company.
"Yeah, AJ," she nodded to Paige, "let's hope it ain't too busy that we can't move."
Paige and Alyssa
Paige grinned. "I love those nights. But yeah, shouldn't be too bad. I better go help Piper. See y'all later!"
Alyssa waved and watched the guys still setting up onstage. Chris gave her a thumbs up.
"So... we can mooch around, get some drinks and wait for them to start?"
AJ
"Yeah, I guess," AJ pouted a little and sighed.
She wanted to spend more time with her man, but he was busy...
Well, there was always after the show.
Room69
Pretty soon the band began to play. Noah rolled his eyes, really not wanting to do this. He stepped up to the mike.
"Hey guys, we're Room69... this is Brown Eyed Girl."
They started to play and Noah began to sing.
An hour later, they'd finished their set and they started to pack up. Pete bounded over to Faith who was sitting on the bar, looking bored and upset.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing much."
Meanwhile, Noah walked over to AJ after he'd packed his stuff away and kissed her on the nose.
"Hey you."
AJ
"Hey," she replied playfully, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You guys were great tonight. I never saw a frown throughout the whole set. Except onstage."
NOah
Noah kissed AJ. "Ehh... just a bit not wanting to do it. So... feel like dancing?"
The music had been switched on and Noah kissed AJ's hand softly.
AJ
"I guess I could for a while," she smiled, then led him out into the open area and began to dance with him.
"So tell me... why didn't you want to do it?"
Noah, Pete and Faith
"Would rather be hanging out with you."
Noah kissed AJ again, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Meanwhile, Pete was still chatting to Faith.
"So... feel like dancing?"
"Sure." Faith and Pete made their way to the dancefloor, where Faith whispered in his ear. "You wanna come back to my house?"
"I'd love to."
AJ
"Yeah well, ditto. But seeing you onstage the first time was almost as good."
She grinned a little, before leaning upward to kiss him again.
Pete, Noah and Faith
Faith and Pete left minutes later, Pete looking overly happy.
Noah smiled at AJ. "Well... then I'm glad you had a good time. You wanna stay some? Or just head back to mine?"
AJ
"I don't care, either's fine with me," AJ sighed happily, resting her head into Noah's shoulder and swaying a little.
Noah
Noah smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"We'll stay here for a bit then."
They danced for a few more songs then headed back to his house.
