CINDRA: And who's your friend?
ELLA: Friend and drummer! We're in a band
AKIRA: An awesome band
CINDRA: Huh, that's cool. So what, it's just you two?
ELLA: Well, actually
We need a bass player
A third member who could answer our prayers
AKIRA: Someone we would owe, like, a million favors
ELLA: Someone so cool we could never repay her
AKIRA: Someone with style and grace and flair
ELLA: Someone with a car
CINDRA: Nope, no way, never
ELLA: But Cindra
AKIRA: I told you I should've just
Stood on your shoulders in a trench coat
CINDRA: Listen
I'm taking classes you can't even imagine
I haven't played that bass since I was like 7
I've got doctor's appointments and groceries to buy
I'm working part-time at the TCBY
I'm not hanging out with a kid I used to babysit
ELLA: Then do it for Akira!
CINDRA: I don't know who that is
ELLA: Don't you remember all the fun that we had?
CINDRA: I remember weird advice from your mom and your dad
ELLA: And the crazy dance parties and the food you would nuke
In the microwave to make it explode?
CINDRA: That was you!
ELLA: And the talks we would have and the secrets we'd share?
CINDRA: And the VHS— Wait
ELLA: And the truths and the dares
CINDRA: Clover child, don't you say it
ELLA: How you pulled out your hair
Over William Bleaker who'd very unfairly stolen your heart?
CINDRA: So when do we start?

ELLA: Alright folks, give it up for the totally tubular
Akira "Rock Hands" Iwate on the drums!
And the newest addition to the band
The incomparable never terrible Cindra Mellow on the bass!
...Cindra, you're supposed to take a solo
CINDRA: Ok how was I supposed to know that
ELLA: And on guitar, the sweetheart of Verton USA!
Yours truly, Ella Clover!
