"Is that...?" Karen announced as Audrey sat down on a chair next to Karen as she strums a guitar.

Karen looked at Audrey's finger spotting the ring, "It's not a wedding ring, it's a promise ring."

Karen lifted a brow, "So Eddie's thinking of marrying you?" Her British accent rang through the halls of the room.

Audrey nodded slowly, "Pretty much," Karen twisted her mouth, "That's great,"

"I know." Audrey smiled as she brought her brows up. Warren and Eddie were right next to them, as well as Graham.

The two had walked away to another side of the room getting away from the three boys as far as possible.

"And then... he took me to a room and just kissed me," Karen spoke as Audrey left with her mouth hung open. "Did you kiss him back?" She asked her voice quieting down.

Karen shook her head before placing both of her hands on her face, "I feel like a bloody idiot." She muttered under her hands.

Audrey brought her hands back down, "Don't, I felt like an idiot the first time I had sex with Eddie," Audrey replied as she brought a hand to fix her bangs. "I had no
idea what I was doing."

Karen let out a chuckle before she glanced back to Graham and soon to Eddie who was smirking while chatting with Warren.

"Speaking of sex," Karen wiggled her eyebrows, "Where did you and Eddie run off to at the party?" Karen asked as Audrey grinned.

"Where do you think I got this ring?" She smiled as Karen scoffed, "So... He gave you the ring and both of you had sex?" Karen raised a brow as Audrey nodded, "We didn't get that far,"

"At least tell me what happened" Audrey let out a laugh as Karen was intrigued, "It was..." She twisted her mouth, "fun, but it was ruined after the power went out,"

Karen nodded her head slowly as she smirked, "That sucks." Karen muttered. Billy and Daisy had entered the room. Karen and Audrey both looked in the direction where Daisy and Billy were.

"I made breakfast," Daisy spoke, her luminous amber hair, her short shorts, and again with her angel cover-up made the whole band look up.

KAREN: We didn't really know what to expect.

AUDREY: I mean it was, Daisy, she was known because of her bright personality and her great comebacks. And her great singing.

"Again with the legs, man," Warren says, Eddie stays silent as he nods his head just going along with everything Warren says.

"I'm a leg guy, you know?" Warren replied as Eddie chuckled, Audrey looked to Karen and she rolled her eyes.

"He was too busy a few weeks that night..." Karen started, "...looking at Kathy's legs," Karen muttered out, jerking her head to Katherine who was behind the glass chatting with Teddy.

Audrey let out a laugh as Daisy came up to the two girls, "Hey, Daisy." Karen stood up and brought her into a hug, "Hey," Audrey added as she let out a dubious smile. "Nice to see you," Daisy placed an arm on her shoulder.

Daisy chewed her gum loudly, "Did you have a fun night at Billy's party?" Daisy asked, Audrey dilatory's from Eddie to Daisy as she gave a tremulous chuckle.

"They just got me a little distracted, is all I'm saying." Warren added as Daisy sent a wink to Audrey as she left to go tell Warren something, "Warren, right?" Daisy asked, chewing her gum loudly.

Warren went wide-eyed as she avoided contact with Daisy for a second, "Yeah."

"You know it's not my job to turn you on, right?" Daisy snapped back as she motioned a finger to him. "I-I do... now." He stuttered as Eddie held back a laugh turning his head away from Daisy. He felt embarrassed.

Audrey couldn't hold back a laugh as Warren went red, "You got told by Daisy Jones," Audrey started as she couldn't stop laughing.

Warren rolled his eyes as he extended the middle finger to her as she gave one back. "Great," Daisy spoke as she walked to the microphone, sitting in the chair.

"All right, everybody." Daisy shared a look with Audrey as she continued to laugh quietly. Eddie chuckled. "I just want to say a few things before we get started." Billy now had one of his hands on his hips. "First off we have a new member of the band." Billy introduces Daisy as she smiles.

"So, let's hear it for Daisy Jones," Billy slightly raised his hand to her as the rest of the group clapped for Daisy. "Welcome," Warren speaks out as Audrey whistled.

"Thank you for being here and for doing this with us," Billy said. "Thank you for having me," She says loudly as she continued to chew her gum. "It's been what? Four... four weeks?"

"I wrote a song." Daisy looks up as the band quiets, she clears her throat. "Well, actually I've written about 20 songs I'd like to play for you guys." The band stays quiet as Karen leaned onto Audrey as she placed the guitar down.

"Sorry. I wasn't trying to cut you off or anything..." She trails off placing her book down on her lap. "I was just... I'm excited about it, so..."

Billy nods his head, "Okay." The five of them look around uneasy. Daisy glances around and looks at Billy "What?"

BILLY: The songs were all written and ready to go.

"Well, Daisy, the great news is, we, uh... we actually have what, 13 songs for the album, so..." He chuckled. "Yeah, I mean, why don't we play you some and then, uh, you can have a listen, see if you feel strongly about any of them or," He walks over to the microphone. "you know, wanna add anything."

DAISY: I mean, can you imagine?

BILLY: I could have not been nicer.

"We could play the, uh, the new one for Daisy," Billy announced as the band walks to their instruments. Audrey placed her guitar strap over her head.

Billy starts to smile before nodding, "Yeah, I think you're gonna dig this one." He glazed to Daisy as she replied, "Let me guess, it's about your wife and the rain." The band raises their brows.

WARREN: [laughs] Oh, my God.

EDDIE: [laughs] I think it was called 'She's the Storm.' Seriously.

AUDREY: The titles to my songs are better than 'She's the Storm.' [laughs]

Daisy begins to laugh at her own joke. Billy chuckles trying to play it off. "That's funny?" He asked as Daisy shook her head, "No." Daisy's smile faded.

"Sorry, did you want to say something?" Acknowledged Billy. Daisy shrugs shortly, "No, I'm just... I mean, I'm not here to sing harmony on a bunch of love songs about your wife." Daisy snaps, "Right?"

Graham and Audrey share glances with each other. "You know, I mean if we're gonna... if we're in a band, then the album has to be to be just as mine as it is yours. As it Karen's and Graham's and Audrey's and Warren's and that guy's." Daisy pointed to Eddie as he shrugged as he shook off that she already forgot his name. "You know?"

EDDIE: She was saying things I'd been saying since '69.

Daisy continues on as Audrey walks to Eddie, "Yeah, maybe we should include some rock 'n' roll songs up in here," Audrey explained as Eddie agreed.

"Actually, I-I agree," Karen spoke up to Daisy's words. Audrey and Eddie didn't know what Daisy had soon but for some reason, they agreed with her.

"What?" Karen brought her mouth into a line. "I-I think it's a good conversation."

"You know what I think?" Eddie announced. "Oh, God," Billy mumbled as he turned to face Eddie. "I think this should be a rock and roll record," Eddie explained taking in Audrey's words.

"Actually...I was the one who was thinking that" Audrey lifted a finger. Billy sighs, "Thank you, Audrey and Eddie. Thanks so much for your input."

Eddie shakes his head, "No, I'm serious." Billy started to be resentful, "Of course, it's gonna be a rock and roll record, man. What the fuck?" He provoked.

Eddie lowered his brows, "I mean, is it, though? 'Cause, I mean, like, a lot of these songs are sounding like, like, well, well, pop songs, man."

Graham started to signal to Eddie to stop what he was saying, ignoring his actions Eddie continued, "Like Sonny and Cher shit. You know, are we a pop band now, or...?"

Billy tilted his head, his eye began to twitch, "All right? I mean, rock and roll should be passion, pain, anger."

"Mm." Daisy agreed as she chewed on a fruit from the fruit basket she bought from her hotel home. "It should be about sleeping with some girl, not making sweet love to your wife, for Chrissakes," Eddie said impulsively to Billy.

Billy turns back around sending Eddie a death glare, "No offense, Billy." He mumbled. "Sort of what I was trying to say," Daisy agreed "How about some African drums?" Warren added as Daisy nodded.

"Great idea." Daisy replied as Audrey leaned closer to Eddie, "You meant total offense right?" She asked as she glowered up at him. He traced his eyes over to her face as he simply spoke, "I meant a lot."

Audrey let out a chuckle to Eddie. She looked back to the rest of the group watching them go on about what should be on the album.

"We could do some vocals and piano," Karen suggests. "Yeah, I'd like to write some of my own bass parts for once,"

"We could include my vocals in the songs," Audrey suggested. Billy tilted his head to her as he exchanged looks with the band.

"Billy, I've been barely getting any good parts. I should at least try and have my own vocals." She replied. "I know, Addie. It's just..."

"You know what? I agree with Dina." Daisy cut off Billy. Billy exhaled as he tucked hair behind his ear.

"I knew this was a fucking terrible idea." Billy rages. "What's the bad idea?" Daisy asked as she shrugs with her arms. "Wait, I mean, you invited me here." Daisy continued.

"Yeah, well, maybe that was a mistake, Daisy." Billy snaps raising his voice. "All right?"

"Are you done?" Teddy snapped as he emerged into the room. "Are you?" He asked to Daisy who scoffed softly. "Jesus Christ. You're acting like a bunch of kindergartners. Just maybe the two of you can go someplace and work on something together, how about that?"

Daisy glanced at Billy who kept his eyes away from the two. "Either way, the door is right there," He pointed to the door. "so go on and get the fuck out of here 'cause I got shit to do." He exchanged looks with the band.

"Go, goddamn it!"

Billy leads Daisy out of the room. With her smiling, she places her bag over her shoulder following Billy out of the room. Teddy heads back to the control room.

Eddie turns to him and asks, "Hey, yeah, so what about us?"

"I could care less."
