"It should be; c'mon get loud shout out." Riker said. I pushed his shoulder. "No way. Get loud, loud, let it out." I corrected. He put his hands up in surrender. Rocky was teaching Rhylee how to play guitar, Ry was playing football with friends at the local park, Rydel and Ell were playing in the pool, and I was stuck with Riker trying to write a song. At the moment it is;
(Ross)
C'mon get loud (echo:loud)
I'm looking for the one tonight, but I can't see you.
Cause I'm blinded by all the lights, oh
And I could never get it right, I need a breakthrough
Why are you so hard to find? Oh
(Rocky)
I been searching every city never giving up
Till I find my angel, diamond in the rough
Looking for a signal
(Ross)
Baby turn it up tonight.
And that's all folks! (For now...) Rhylee came up with a small guitar in her hand. "Hey Rossy watch this!" She strummed a few chords and sang along with the new lyrics off the paper. Her voice was so sweet. She finished and my jaw dropped. "Hey Rik? I think Riles and I'll take this one." I told him. He shrugged. "Those two need a chaperone." Riker walked off to Rydel and Ratliff. Rhylee sat on the grass next to me and handed me a pencil. "Can you write? I'm not very good yet." She confessed. I handed her the pencil. "You'll get better if you keep trying." I said. She sighed. "Okay, how about;
C'mon get loud loud let it out
Shout it out from the rooftops c'mon get loud till, they shut us down.
C'mon get loud loud let it out
Show me everything you've got
C'mon get loud loud I need you now.
Baby let me hear you loud Na na na (na na na na)
Rhylee sang the lyrics as she wrote them. She looked up and I grinned at her. "Perfect." I said."How about this?" I wrote down more words.
I'm looking for the light to shine
To start a fire
Girl I'll be the first in line, oh
Baby when our stars align
We can't get no higher
Just give me a sign
(Chorus)
Rhylee smiled. "Yeah!" and then picked up her guitar Rocky'd bought for her birthday last week. She plucked a few chords and sang along. She frowned. "No that's not right. Nope." She kept trying chords. I picked up Juliet (my guitar guys, chill) and strummed a few chords. "Okay try A minor, G, C, and then F." I said. Rhylee looked at me. "What?!" She asked. I laughed and showed her the chords. "Okay new lyrics!"
(Bridge)
I'm looking for the one toni-ight
C'mon get loud loud let it out
Shout it out from the rooftops
C'mon get loud
Till they shut us down
(Resume usual beat)
C'mon get loud loud let it out
Shout it out from the rooftops
C'mon get loud loud
I need you now
Baby let me hear you loud
I played the chords and bridged them. Rhylee high fived me. "Woo hoo!!" Ratliff yelled from nearby. I turned around and he was chicken fighting with Rydel against Rocky and Riker. I cracked up laughing. Rocky was on Riker's shoulders, and Rydel was on Ratliff's. Rhylee ran over. "Me! Me!" She chanted. I jumped in the pool and gestured for her to climb onto my shoulders. We started to try push over Rocky and Riker, but Rydel tapped Rhylee from behind and whispered in her ear. She nodded. Rhylee pulled my hair to the side a little, and let Rydel and Ratliff stand beside us. "Ready? Go!" Rydel made Ratliff charge for her little bro and big bro. Rhylee pushed forward and I started to tread water. We reached where Rocky and Riker were losing against Rydel and Ell. Rhylee gave one more push and Rocky fell. Rydel and Rhylee high-fived. Rocky surfaced and pushed Riker under. "Rikeypoo!" No matter how many times we do it, Rhylee still gets scared when we dunk each other. Riker surfaced next to Ratliff- who may I note is extremely ticklish- and poked his side. Ratliff wiggled and Rydel fell off. "Eeeeekkk!" She squealed as she went in. Rhylee flipped off my back. I pulled her up. "We should show them the new song." I told her. She grinned and nodded. We got out of the pool and picked up our guitars.
"Okay Rocky how well can you rap?" I asked. He shrugged. "Not too badly." "Ready? One two."

I looked around. Rocky was clearly happy. Rydel was proud. And Riker was teary. "You and Rhylee wrote that?" He asked. Rhylee put her guitar down and crawled into his lap. "Yep. Is it good Rikey?" She asked. He nodded. "Hey guys- woah. What happened here?" Ryland came in the back gate. Rydel pressed a few buttons on her phone and it started playing. He looked at me. He looked at Rhylee. "Woah. That's cool." He said. Ratliff cheered. "Let's get some instruments!" We ran inside to the basement. Rhylee followed. Ell sat at the drums. Rydel set up her keyboard. Riker and Rocky got 2 guitars and a bass ready. I was gonna sing for this one. But today we were gonna be R6. Rhylee was gonna play guitar best she could with Rocky.
(3 minutes later...)
"Okay take R6!" Ryland called. We had everything figured out. Maybe we'd record this!
