Annie had been writing and recording countless songs by this time, and eventually Micah began recording some of them,adding drums and bass to complement her vocals and guitar.
Annie felt Micah "passed the test," and she asked Micah to be in her band, to which he replied, "okay." About a month later, Annie decided to book the band's first show, whether they were ready or not.
In an echo of the past, Micah once again said, "okay." And it was during this recording, for the album which Annie decided to name Hearts and Unicorns, that she forced Micah to sell his soul to her in exchange for a piece of yellow candy.
