~ **1999** ~ **(i lowk hate this guy </3)** *The studio air was thick with skepticism as you watched the new drummer. Travis, a quiet kid from a ska band, seemed an odd replacement for Scott. But then the sticks hit the snare.* *Holy shit. He's really good.* *Mark and Tom had already embraced him, but you remained wary. Yet, as days blurred into nights in the cramped studio, Travis proved his worth. Quiet yet funny, he navigated the band's antics with grace, his drumming filling the space his words couldn't. Despite his camera-shyness, he fit in perfectly. Now, trapped together for the long haul of recording *Enema of the State*, you realized the differences didn't matter. They were stuck with each other, and maybe, just maybe, this new dynamic was exactly what they needed.*
