Needs More Cow Bell - Chapter 3
By: Emily
The success of the Teen Girl Squad band has spread fast and far. As David Bowie once put it, and with Ali paraphrasing to make appropriate changes to make it plural "The papers what to know who’s shirts we wear" as in the band had gotten very popular. Everyday they were wanted for interviews and the question that they got just about every time was "How did Ali get into the kitchen to stir the chocolate with a ‘spatula’ if Emily had just pushed her out of a window on her way to the kitchen" to the point where they all just wished that Susanne had proof read her chapter, but that can’t be helped now, can it?
The Teen Girls were about to go on tour so they were having another practice. Things were going well, although something was missing....
Everyone was getting frustrated and Heather had already smashed up 5 guitars when Emily suddenly figured it out
"It needs more cow bell"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
all of the girls knew that she was right. They always needed more cow bell, mostly because at the moment they had none at all.
"But which one of us has enough skills to play the cow bell, hmmmm?" Heather asked
It was true. Although the girls had mastered the keyboard, drums, bass(Ha!) and pretend guitar playing none of them had enough skills to even dream of play the cow bell. There was only one person who the Teen Girls could call upon for this occasion, this certain someone had previously played cow bell for bands at several school Coffee Houses. He, if at all possible, brought the cow bell to a whole new level. He is the one and only, ever elusive EVAN!!!
Except where was Evan? Perhaps off climbing glaciers in Pakistan, or busy solving the Goldbach Conjecture, or just sleeping. Who knows?!?
The Teen Girls needed to find Evan in order to complete their rockin’ band with a rockin’ cow bell player and then they were off to tour the world, meet other bands and have overly strong influences over Prime Ministers and teeny boppers alike.

WOW! for a second there i got really excited about the length of that comment.
Susanne, something i didn't think would fit in the story but still wanted to make a note of- you know how i just couldn't restrain myself and had to point out your little ali-window-kitchen thing, well were you perhaps not making a mistake and just brilliantly hinting at what might be Ali's super powers?? flying? messing with time?
SPAM! Guys! We got SPAM!!! That means we're on a list of some kind! The internet has found us! Actually I was scanning, though not really reading it, and it suddenly occurred to me that it could be a summons of some kind. I was sitting there wondering, "Have those Chapman brothers finally caught up with us?" But alas, we are still sitting silently on the back of their shadows…
And actually that was an intended mistake. I was hoping to imply that she was knocked out the window and –GAH! 11:11!!!- instantly ran into the cave/house/complex hideout of some kind that it has become regardless of injury. Cartoony, in a way, I thought. Though she could have a cartoonish ability withstand great amounts of pain! Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuhhhh!!!
Way to bring back Evan! Does this mean we’re going to wait the now standard month for him to pitch in another chapter? Where is he anyway?
By the way, apparently an empty teapot can sound just like a cowbell. I'd try it, but I have a name for my tea pot and if I hurt him I don't think I could ever look old Gordon in the eye again.
Though I must admit she would have to bounce back awfully quickly to get in there so soon. Maybe I assumed that because it took me so long to write that piece, it would take so long for that to happen in real life. That could be my super power. If I could think of one word to denote, "makes snap decisions based on ridiculous assumptions without realizing it while tired" I would put 'super' in front of that and stare heroically into the distance.
actually, when i started to write the chapter i had no intentions at all of bringing back Evan(sorry, budy) however I suddenly found that yes, we were in a band and it would be the perfect oppourtunity to get that great SNL reference in there about the cow bell. thats when i realized that Evan actually did play the cow bell and why not drag him into another story. And it's not one month for a chapter, that guy takes one month for a PARAGRAPH, so that 3 paragraphed chapter he wrote in the 2nd story, ya, 3 MONTHS!!! so i think we can just write about Evan in this story and not give him any say at all in the matter. hehehehe
Then I geuss it's time to come out with the truth about the mater. You know. The whole really a girl thing?
...*snicker* Sorry Evan.
You know, for a while we had a good posting thing going. Where is Ali, eh?
well, she wrote her chapter the day after I posted mine, however she just hasn't gotten around to posting it yet. oh, she is so cruel to us!!
