After Mark and Jack got home, Mark texted Tyler and Ethan to meet up tomorrow so they could break the news. They were back at Mark and Jack's dorm room as the two proposed the idea of forming a band.

"No freakin way!" ethan laughed from astonishment.

"Ur serious?" tyler asked.

"Hell yea we are" mark nodded. "I'm lead singer and guitarist, Ty ur bass, Ethan does that piano thing of his and both of you make great backup singers and Jack here is the drummer we've been waiting for" he eagerly stated. "I mean it's perfect, this has everything that we've wanted to do, there's no better way to go really"

There was a brief pause as Tyler and Ethan shot each other looks of excitement and agreement. "Yea, let's do it" Tyler happily cheered and everyone became very excited and cheered.

"Except there's one problem" ethan chimed in. "I don't mean to be a buzz kill, but where are we gonna play? Who's gonna hook us up?"

"I think I know somebody who can hook us up" tyler assured. "But even so, we may need another way to get out there besides stage performances" he explained and everyone took a second to think.

"How bout YouTube?" Jack suggested, catching everyone's attention. "It'll be a great way to break out, reach audiences everywhere and not just locally, and, if we get famous enough, they'll even pay us to perform on the internet" he explained.

The other three looked back at each other at the option. "That could be great" ethan agreed and was followed by Mark and Tyler.

"And we're also gonna need a band name" Mark stated.

"Wait, you guys don't have a name yet?" jack asked in shock.

"We never got that far" tyler explained. "I mean we had a few but, we were kids and the names we had were pretty cheesy" the group laughed.

"Well in that case, how bout the YouTube Rock?" Jack proposed and the others seemed astounded.

"That actually has a nice ring to it" Mark nodded with a smile.

"Yea, and you know what else we should do?" ethan jumped from his seat. "We should all get individual stage names"

"W-what?" the other three simultaneously said delightfully.

"Yea, like I'll be um... Crankplays"

"Crankplays?" jack laughed.

"Do not judge me" ethan laughed back, pointing a finger at jack who held up is hands in defense. "And you guys can be.....whatever y'all want" he shrugged.

There was another pause as the others thought about what their stage names could be. "Oooo, I know" tyler was the first to speak. "I'll be called, Tyler Stoneface"

"Haha, I like it fits" mark nodded.

"Alright and what about you two?" he asked.

Mark and Jack turned to each other, both with smirks, having talked about what cool nicknames they always wanted to have just the other day. "My name is Markiplier" mark smiled back at the two.

"And my name is Jacksepticeye" the Irishman followed.

Tyler and Ethan looked at each other excitedly before giving the other two friends praise. "And there's one other thing" mark noted. "Me and Jack have always wanted to dye our hairs a crazy color, and we were thinking about doing so for the band"

Ethan's excitement grew while Tyler averted his gaze with a nervous grin. "I like my hair the way it is, but you guys can do whatever you want with urs, you can get Mohawks for all I care" he laughed.

"Are you sure?" mark asked. "Because ur likely to be the only guy without dyed hair"

"Yea really it's fine, do whatever you like" he reassured.

"Alright well, I want whatever I get to look well with everyone else's, so you two first" mark stated.

"Ok" ethan shrugged. "Well I'm gonna dye mine light blue"

"And I'm gonna get mine a light green" Jack followed.

"Alright, then I'll do red" mark nodded and then everyone cheered happily.

"Ok, those sound great" Tyler stood and began to walk back towards the door. "How bout all you guys go do em right now, and I'm gonna go see that a friend of mine to get us hooked up. Sound good?"

"Yea" the three simultaneously said with nods.

"But hey" jack chimed. "First, high fives all around" he held up his hands and the group smiled as they all began to high five each other.

Hours later, Mark, Jack and Ethan now all had their hairs dyed a fancy color. Red for Mark, green for Jack and blue for Ethan, and man were they and proud and excited to have em. They texted Tyler to let him know they were done and received one back that informed them that he had gotten with his friend and for all to meet up at the campus gym. Once there, they saw Tyler with a woman with very light haired woman standing next to him.

"Hey guys! Over here!" Tyler called and the others walked to where he and the lady stood. "Fellas, this is Amy Peebles, she's the one with the hookups. Amy this is Ethan, Jack and Mark" he introduced everyone and they greeted each other. Amy said hi and shook hands with everyone in the order they were introduced.

"Uh...hi" Mark smiled as he shook hands with the girl. He seemed very nervous around her and strangely, she didn't seem much different with him. "Nice to meet you"

"Likewise" she smiled but looked flushed. She nervously averted her gaze as she drew her hand back and stood back next to tyler. "So you guys are the band?"

"Yep, we're it" Jack replied.

"So...what do you guys have so far?" she asked, seeming to keep her attention on Jack and Ethan.

"Um, right now we just have our names and positions and that's about it" ethan answered.

"What about instruments?" she checked.

"Yea we have those" Jack replied.

"Ok, so no like...logos or anything?"

"Well technically we just together like a few hours ago, so not much really" mark explained.

"Alright, well before we get into those, you guys wanna do this on YouTube and on stage? Just to check" she noted.

"Yes" the band simultaneously answered.

"Do you know what songs ur gonna use?" she asked.

"Yea we have a few" mark nodded and Amy gave him a nervous smile.

"Great, so in three weeks there's this bash going on at a campus party" she informed. "I think it would be great if we started off with that, and then the youtube channel. Sound good?" everybody agreed and were very eager for the event now. "Ok great, now next I want you guys to go find a lady named Signe Hansen, she's an artist and does other neat stuff and can help you guys out with anything else you need. Here's where you can find" she handed a paper with the information about her whereabouts.

"Alright well thankyou very much for all of this, we appreciate it" mark thanked as he offered to shake her hand again.

"No problem" she smiled, taking the hand shake. "Gentlemen, I look for forward to working with you" she then shook hands with Ethan and Jack and they thanked her as well. "I really like what you three did with ur hair too, it looks great" she complimented.

"Thankyou" the three simultaneously thanked her.

"Ssso is urs" Mark responded and received a nervous smile and a nod.

"See ya later guys" she waved, receiving waves and byes from the others, before walking away.

"Alright guys let's go" Tyler ordered. "We have business to take care of" he stated in a cheerful manor.

"I see you and Amy really enjoyed each other's company" Jack smirked at Mark as they walked.

Mark scoffed, not facing Jack. "Ok so... she's pretty" he shrugged.

"Ask her out then, the look she gave you was waaay different than the look she gave us" he grinned.

"Ah...I don't know man, we have a lot of stuff happ-"

"Oh come on Mark, you wanted to date again and not have relationship problems anymore, this might be ur chance" he encouraged. "Besides, she doesn't strike me as the kind that come around often"

Mark hesitated for a second. "I'll...try" was all he could answer and Jack patted him on the back.

They went to a place called Wiishu art works and assistance, which was the place owned by this Signe, according to the note Amy gave them. They walked into the place and saw a lady at the front desk. "Excuse me" mark got her attention. "We're looking for Signe Hansen"

"You found her" she smiled. "Did Amy sent you?"

"Yep, we're it" Tyler smiled back.

"Ok, great" she grinned. "And ur names are?"

"Oh yes," mark realized. "I'm Mark, this is Tyler, Ethan and Jack" he introduced everyone and they shook hands with the nice lady.

"Nice to meet you gentlemen" she smiled, but she was facing directly towards Jack and he seemed very drawn to her. "Right this way please" she led the men into her office and had her assistant take over desk duties while they discussed their business.

Once they were in, Jack noticed the flag she had on her wall. "Ur danish?" he asked, smiling at the fact that he wasn't the only one from a foreign country now.

"Yes, and you are?" she asked, noticing his accent.

"Irish" he immediately answered.

"Ah ok, I didn't wanna guess and say Scottish. I've done that before and it got awkward really quick" she babbled on nervously.

"Don't worry about it" jack laughed. "Happens all the time" he assured and she clammed up a little.

"So how can I help you gentlemen?" she readied.

"Well we have everything we need for basic band wise" tyler said. "We just need a logo for like the names and costumes and that kinda stuff"

"Do you also do costumes?" mark asked.

"Costume designs of course" she replied. "And that's basically everything? You just need art to go with ur logos and nice outfits?"

"Yea that's pretty much it" mark nodded.

"Ok well, let's see what we can do"

Hours later, they had the logo designs down and most of their costume work done. They made arrangements for when they would meet next to take care of the remaining things they would need before leaving. It was getting dark and it was now time for everyone to go. Signe was escorting the band out while informing them of what else was planned and they wondered if she could come see any of their shows.

"Well we understand if you can't, but would really love it if you can" mark stated.

"I will definitely try, I'd certainly love to" she smiled. "Oh and..." she pulled out a card from her jacket pocket. "Here's my card with my number on it. If you guys need anything, or just wanna chat, gimme a shout" she handed the card to Jack, who took it with a smile.

"I'm sure I'll find a use for this" he nodded with a smirk.

She pursed her lips and inhaled through the nose before continuing. "Well, y'all have a good night and I will see you around" she smiled and the group thanked her and wished her the same. "Take care!" she called as she re-entered the building. The group replied with thankyou's and you too's as she walked in before making it back to the car.

"Well I guess if two of our band mates are already attracting the ladies then we're already doing great as a band" Tyler stated with a smug smirk. Mark and Jack were a little flushed but giggled under their breathes while Tyler and Ethan chuckled.

"Yea I hafta say, you guys are some really smooth players" ethan half joked but half complimented.

"I guess women just find us attractive" mark shrugged with a mocking smirk.

"Oh ok hot shots" Tyler joked back. "We start rehearsing tomorrow after classes, we'll see how hot you guys are then" he shot back with a half grin.

"Fine, we'll see you there" jack faked a snarky tone and laughed. Tyler and Ethan went to their car while Mark and Jack went to theirs.

"But all joking aside" mark began as they stood by the car. "You can't deny she was cute"

"Oh so now ur the one encouraging me to date" he chuckled.

"Alright alright" mark held up his hands in defense. "How bout this, you work on going out with her, and I'll work on going out with Amy, sound good?" he suggested.

"Sounds like a deal" he nodded and the two shook hands before entering the vehicle.

"Alright let's go" mark clapped before starting the engine. "We have a long day tomorrow"

"Isn't that the truth"
