Hey guys! The sequel to Broken Record is here! So exciting! I want to give a shout out to my friend, CherryGorilla for the amazing ideas and support! Thank you! XD
Butchy turned to face the woman as he tucked his side of the table cloth under one of the circular tables. "Who are you's?" Butchy questioned.
The blonde glanced around the restaurant before her gaze met Butchy's. "I-I'm Juliet." Juliet started as she watched Butchy with a shy, yet intrigued look. "Juliet Harmon. I believe I'm a bit lost. I've never been here before."
"Name's Butchy. This is Big Momma's. I's can help you's when Lugnut over there is done with his side of things."
"Go ahead." Lugnut said as he adjusted the table a bit. "I'll get one o' the soifers to help me. Mick will be over in a little bit to make sure everything is where it needs t' be."
"Yeahs, yeahs. I'm just makin' sure she doesn' get into trouble." Butchy sighed as he brought Juliet over to one of the booths. As they sat across from each other, Juliet smiled.
"I am terribly sorry for interrupting you and your friend."
Butchy shrugged. "That's alright. We have a couple months to finish this so it's nothin'."
"Well, alright. So, where exactly am I?"
Mick sighed happily as she exited the house. In just three hours, the girls had turned her into a pin cushion while attempting to sew on the red sash of Mick's dress; combed, teased, curled and re-adjusted Mick's hair; applied and re-applied makeup and even started talking about the honeymoon. Mick was exhausted. Her eyes felt heavy and she could hear her stomach shouting at her to eat something.
Mick shrugged on one of her leather "Rodent" jackets and tugged on some flats as she walked toward Big Momma's to see how things were. As the building got closer, the more Mick was hoping that they had finished it. All they had to do right now was set up the tables and hang up a couple simple decorations; surely they would be done by now.
As Mick entered, she noticed Lugnut on a ladder with nobody supporting it, Tanner and Rascal attempting to fix one of the tables, and Butchy talking to some random girl in a booth. Mick thought nothing of it at first, Butchy was a very kind person and this person probably needed help with something. As Rascal called her over, however, her opinion changed. Out of the corner of her eye, Mick saw the blonde place her hand on Butchy's with a smile.
Turning, Mick felt a fire in her chest and a pain in her stomach as she watched the girl stand and walk toward the bathroom with a giggle. Mick took a deep breath, pushing back the hurt so she could help Rascal and Tanner.
"Mick?" Tanner asked as he watched her. He watched as Mick's eyes watered, her fingers were trembling and her shoulders shook lightly as she picked up one of the vases and placed it on the table.
"I'm fine, Tanner. Just tired." Mick lied as she faked a smile.
The surfer watched the brunette with worried eyes as he helped her arrange some flowers. Rascal and Tanner shared a look as they watched their friend attempt to feign happiness. There was no way she was "just tired". Her eyes flared with anger as she watched the blonde girl return to her seat across from Butchy.
They needed help. They needed to find out why she was acting the way she was. Preferably before she took it out on anyone else.
After fixing a few more tables, Tanner brought Mick down to Lela. As they entered the house, Lela came down from her bedroom and sat down on the couch. Mick groaned as she flopped down on the couch in exhausted frustration. Confused at her best friend's actions, Lela stood back up and pulled Tanner into the garage.
"What's wrong with Mick?" Lela questioned as she closed the door.
"I don't know, Lela. We were fixing Big Momma's for the party when she started acting weird." Tanner replied with a confused shrug.
Lela sighed. "Something had to have happened." Lela said before thinking. "Where was Butchy during all of this?"
Tanner thought for a moment, "He was talking with a girl. I've never seen her before, but she-"
"What was this girl wearing?" Lela asked.
"A blue dress. It looked like your red one."
"That's it!" Lela exclaimed. "Mick saw that she was wearing blue and polka dots. She knows that polka dots are my thing and that blue is her thing! Mick wanted to let this girl know, but didn't want to be mean. That has to be it!"
Lela smiled before taking Tanner's hand and going back to Mick.
Butchy sighed in relief as Juliet left the table to go use the bathroom. Juliet wasn't bad or anything, she was just friendly and Butchy felt she was just nervous about this new place. She was very nice and Butchy figured she was around his age. Butchy glanced over at his fiancée, watching as she talked with Tanner and Rascal. Sighing as Mick laughed, Butchy wished he could've been over with her, talking with her, holding her, distracting her with a hug.
Mick glanced over to Butchy with a small wave before turning back to her task. 'She doesn't look happy.' Butchy thought to himself. 'Maybe I should go- never mind.' Butchy mentally sighed as his attention was dragged back to Juliet. Butchy inhaled deeply as the blonde sat in front of him. He liked Juliet. Not in a "potential girlfriend" way, but as a friend. She was a kind girl who was scared of her new and unusual surroundings.
All in all, Butchy saw her as a new friend and nothing more. Juliet, on the other hand, liked what she saw in Butchy. The blonde blushed as she talked to the brunette biker. "Thank you so much for helping me. I feel so lost here."
"You shouldn't. We're all good peoples here. No doubt any one of us would've helped." Butchy shrugged as he sipped at his drink.
Juliet smiled softly as she twirled her hair around her finger. Butchy shifted uncomfortably as he watched Tanner and Mick leave the hang out. He knew he probably should've gone after her, but how was he supposed to with Juliet commanding his undivided attention. Butchy sighed as he saw the doors swing shut, signalling that his fiancée and ex-rival had left.
"I'm sorry, Juliet, however, I needs to go." Butchy claimed, standing and moving away from the blonde.
"Wait!" Juliet called. "Will I ever see you again?"
Butchy sighed. "I come here every day, Juliet."
"Okay." Juliet waved. "I'll definitely see you again, Butchy." the blonde sighed to herself.
As Lela sat down next to Mick, Mick sighed and turned to her friend. "I think I know what's going on with you, Mick." Lela stated with a friendly smile.
"Really? You do?" Mick asked in hopeful disbelief. She hoped Lela knew so she didn't have to explain it, however she wasn't entirely sure that it was possible.
Lela nodded, her black locks moving over her shoulders. "You feel like the new girl is trying to steal our looks. Don't worry, polka dots can be shared, Mick."
Mick groaned and shook her head. "That isn't what's wrong, Lela."
"Oh." Lela said, tilting her head a bit. "What is it, then?"
Mick sighed. It was hard to describe jealousy. Especially when Lela and Tanner had never felt jealous before. "In my world, there's this feeling called jealousy. It's this feeling you get when you see someone with someone or something you want. It's very confusing and very hard to deal with. You just want whatever that person has. I am jealous of the new girl. She had Butchy's attention. I wanted to talk to him, but she was distracting him."
Tanner sat next to Mick and gave her a one armed hug. "It's alright. She has to go at some point, right?"
"Yeah... Can we change the subject, please? I really don't want to talk about it. Not yet, anyway."
Tanner and Lela nodded as Mick stood. "What are you doing, Mick?" Tanner asked.
"Lela, would you like to show Tanner my dress while I go talk to my parents?" Mick questioned as she poked her thumb toward the garage door.
"Ooh!" Lela exclaimed before taking Tanner's wrist and pulling him up to her bedroom.
Mick chuckled before going into the garage and starting up her machine. Sighing, Mick stepped inside the machine and left for her home in California.
Mack and Brady were watching Wet Side Story again as they started talking. "I wonder how our Princess is." Brady thought aloud.
Mack nodded. "Hopefully she hasn't been stressing too much. She often pushes her self too hard in order to get something done."
"Mm. Maybe she'll stop by soon. We haven't seen her in a while."
"Brady, it's been three days. She has until the sun goes down there to come back. She knows how it works." Mack defended gently as she turned her gaze back to the movie.
"Intrusion. Intrusion. Move over and let your daughter sit on the couch." Mick smiled as she spoke in her deepest voice from behind the couch.
"Makana!" Mack exclaimed as her daughter popped up between her and Brady on the couch.
"Hey, Momma." Mick giggled as she hugged her Mom tightly.
"Princess, I've missed you." Brady claimed as he held his daughter close.
"I've missed you too, Dad." Mick smiled as she hugged her Dad, "I have something I need to talk to you guys about"
"You aren't pregnant, are you?" Mack asked.
"W-what?! No! Mom! No! We haven't even gotten married yet!" Mick exclaimed.
"You never know, baby girl." Brady teased as he watched Mick go around the couch and sit between him and Mack.
"Well, I know." Mick sighed as she pulled one of her knees to her chest. "And, no, no pregnancies yet. I just have a problem that I need help with."
Mack smiled as Mick brought their teasing to an end. "Alright. What's wrong?"
Mick sighed. "There's this new girl in Wet Side Story. I think she's trying to take Butchy away from me."
Brady shook his head lightly, rubbing his daughter's back. "Why would anyone do that? Everybody knows about the two of you."
"I don't know!" Mick exclaimed as she felt the tears she had been fighting start to burn her eyes. "But she's pretty and blonde and tall and even Rascal thinks she's beautiful! How could Butchy possibly still like me after he's met her?!"
"Makana Kaya Birch." Mack started, drawing the eighteen year old's attention to her. "You are gorgeous and don't you dare put yourself down like that. Butchy fell in love with you because of who you are. If he's smart, he will stay with you no matter what."
"But, Mom-"
"No 'but's, Princess." Brady cut in, "You need to believe in yourself, not what other people say or think."
"But I'm scared!" Mick exclaimed as hot tears fell from her eyes.
"Of what?" Mack questioned, rubbing the tears off of Mick's face.
"I-I do-on't want t-t-to lose But-chy." Mick cried as her chest and shoulders heaved with her sobs.
Mack sighed quietly, pulling Mick into a hug as Brady put his arms around his girls. "It'll be alright, sweetheart. Have faith in yourself. Butchy will never stop loving you. He cares way too much to just stop loving you."
Mick choked out a breath as Mack and Brady guided her to stand. "Stay here tonight. Get some rest and, in the morning, things might be better."
"I h-hope s-s-so." Mick shuddered as Mack gave her another hug. Wiping the tears from Mick's eyes, Brady wrapped Mick in his arms before picking up his daughter and carrying her up to her room.
"It's good to have you back. I really missed you."
Mick smiled and gave her Dad one last hug as he set her down in her room. "I mi-issed y-you too, Daddy. I-I lo-ove you."
"I love you too, Baby Girl." Brady replied, pressing a kiss to his daughter's forehead. "Get some rest."
"I'll try." Mick grinned as she walked over to her closet to change.
After getting into shorts and one of Brady's old t-shirts, Mick climbed under her blankets and fell into a light sleep.
BLOOPER TIME!
"Go ahead." Lugnut stated before accidentally pulling the table cloth, sending a vase off the end of the table and onto the floor. "Or not! Help! Butchy! Help me!"
"No ways! You do it!"
"No!"
"Ugh." The director sighed. "Cut! And will somebody pick up the glass already?!"
Mick watched Juliet stand and walk toward the bathroom when all of a sudden the brunette collided with one of the cameras, smashing her forehead into the lens.
"Ow! Sorry!" Mick called as Butchy ran over.
"Cut! Somebody please get her some ice!"
"Intrusion! Intru-"
"I'm sexay and I know it!" A ringtone cut in from off screen.
Mick slapped her hand over her face as both Butchy and Tanner reached for their phones. "Seriously?!"
Sorry the bloopers aren't that good, but it's my first attempt. I am so pumped for this sequel. Let me know what you think, in the comments!
