Tablature

Chapter 1: Tranquility

It's 3 in the after noon. She grimaces as she pulles up into a friends drive way and starts to blow the horn in her father's old station wagon while her compainion in the passenger side of the vehicle sighs in mock frustration.

"Come on... come on... Matt! we're gonna be late again!" The girl pleaded out the window towards Matt's front door.

"Give it a rest will you Sarah? We dont have to be at the studio untill 4!" Sarah's passenger pleaded with her. He inwardly swore. If it wasn't wone thing, it was another. This time, Matt was probably in his "throne room" doing whatever it was he did to keep his blonde hair all spikey. Kind of like that one guy of that RPG game... Final... something.

"Adam! We have to stop to get something to eat... and besides, its already 3 o'clock!" Sarah countered Adam. Sometimes, it was kind of annoying. 'I dont know how he is soo laid back!' Sarah thought. She shook her head. How can someone with no job and no car pay rent for an apartment and keep so level-headed about it. Not to mention not even caring about being late to the studio again. It's almost like Adam has way more connections than Sarah knows about... that or he's just damn slick

"So? If this piece of shit you call a car would go anywhere above 40 miles an hour, we wouldnt have to worry about it!" Oh-ho! So he does care about getting from point A to point B. Argument won.

"Do you wanna buy me another one!? Do you!?" 'Heh... I bet he could probably pull some strings to get one. Nah, we're happy just the way we are' Sarah thought, brushing a lock of her dirty blonde hair out of her sparkling blue eyes. She then positioned herself as to look into Adams deep green eyes... which were opened in pure shock. He was sure he had won the argument this time!

"Uhm..." Adam sighed as he shook his head, medium length brown hair flowing around the top of his head like a fan. Sometimes, it was damn near impossible to love a girl such as Sarah. Especially since she was SO good at winning arguments, even if they weren't meant to be taken seriously.

"Exactly... so can it!" Sarah said with a grin. Seeing Adam with a confused look on his face never got old. She always did hear from her mother that being in love was difficult. But Sarah thought otherwize. You just had to do it.

"Right... sorry." Adam said in defeat. So close... "Well, since I lost, don't I get a consolation prize?" Sarah smiled as Adam leaned in for a kiss, which she gave without question.

"What's all the fuss about!? You're gonna get the neighbors pissed and they'll call the cops again!" Matt said, startling the young couple in the car. Sarah then realized that she had her elbow on the car horn again. Matt smiled as Sarah blushed and moved her elbow and Adam started laughing.

"Just get in the car Matt." Sarah said as her forhead made a small thud on the steering wheel. 'It's those eyes of his!' Sarah thought. 'I get way too cought up in Adam's eyes.'

"You still driving that pile of crap!?" Matt said as Sarah's jaw dropped and Adam stifled a laugh. The nerve! And to top it all off, Adam just couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Hahahaha!"

"Adam!" Sarah exclaimed. It was like he always took his band mates side on things like this.

"Sorry." Adam said as Sarah looks around for Matt, Between Matt and Jake, they were always getting held up. Sarah spotted Matt taking his dear sweet time locking the front door.

"Come on Matt! Get in let's go!" Sarah and Adam shout as Matt finally finishes up and pockets his house keys.

"Right whatever!" Matt said with Mock annoyance.

Matt grabbed his guitar and hops in the back seat behind Adam. He then places his guitar in the storage space next to Adam's bass. And luckily remembers to buckle his seat belt this time. Sarah made him pay the ticket last time he forgot to buckle up... and that sucked.

"Great, so what now?" Adam asks as Matt declared that he was settled in. 3:10 in the afternoon. Maybe they were going to be late after all.

"We stop at Burger Empire, then its off to the Imperial City." Sarah stated as if she had planned it all out. Glancing at the clock she inwardly swore. They may have to get the food to go.

"Like, don't you work there Sarah?" Matt asked, trying to sound like a giddy school girl. Adam giggled at Matt as he smiled. Sarah had a small grin on her face as well as she replied.

"So? I'm hungry. And I have to pick up my paycheck."

"Riiight... then what?" Matt said as Adam's smile got bigger. Sarah always failed to see this one coming.

"We get to the studio and meet up with Jake and Dean and I watch you record." Sarah stated as if it were set in stone. Adam at this point had sparkles in his eyes.

"Then what?" Matt asked slowly. It was then when Sarah glanced at Adam did she realize what was going on.

"Oh shut up." Sarah sighed out. She fell for it again.

The three people in the car start to laugh as Sarah pulls out of Matt's drive way and they carry on with jokes and stories about the day. Luckily when they get to the Burger Empire, they had enough time to eat in so they chose to stop to eat in (Adam ended up eating the half of Sarah's burger that she couldn't eat) and then continued on to the recording studio.

...The Bard Records Studio, Imperial City...

This was one of Adam's favorite places to be. The place practically stank of music and thats the way he liked it. He slowly walked up to the reception desk as if to take in the atmosphere.

"Ok, and you guys are?" The receptionist asked as he looked at Adam while Matt and Sarah sat patiently in the chairs lined up on the wall.

"We're from the band Hallucenation, you know... we reserved the studio for 4 o'clock?" Adam said as he heard someone playing an insane solo for a song.

"Oh yeah! Here you are... lucky too... the other band is just finishing up... Jake and Dean are already in the back." The receptionist said as he closed the schedualing book.

"Thanks Ted." Adam said, glancing at the man's name tag

"No problem man... go have fun." Ted smiled.

"Will do."

Adam shakes the clerks hand and grabs his bass. Matt follows suit with his guitar and Sarah jams her keys in her pocket and the three continue on to meet up with Jake and Dean in the studio.

...Three hours later...

Sarah stares in awe through the sound proof glass as their friend Clark equalizes their sounds in his EQ board. Sarah listens in to the small speaker that's in the wall that lets her hear what the music sounds like after its adjustment. They were covering Sum 41 again on the last verse of The Hell Song.

Everybody's got their problems

Everybody says the same thing to you

Doesn't matter how you solve them

What else are we supposed to do....

TWANG!!

"Shit!!"

"zzt... Dean? What happened? zzt..." Clark buzzed through his mic.

"Fuckin' Hell... one of my strings broke!" Dean said as he sucked on his finger where the string hit him.

"zzt... Well... at least Matt's singing was good. zzt..." Clark commented.

"Thanks Clark. It looks like we're done for the day." Matt said as he shook his head. Dean had the worst luck with strings.

"Damn man... if it wasn't for Jake's drums... I would have heard how bad Adam was doin' on his bass!" Dean teased as Adam faked a look of hurt as Jake threw a drum stick at Dean.

"Least my string didnt break Dean!" Adam said with a grin. These people cracked him up.

"zzt... Well, here comes another band guys! You better hurry up Adam! Sarah's gettin a lil antsy in here! (hey!!) zzt..."

They all laugh and pack up their gear and exit the sound room. The band headed out to the parking lot and bid each other farewell and go off their seperate ways

Matt opting to ride home with Jake and Dean. Leaving Sarah and Adam to ride home silently to the apartment they shared.

...Pell's Gate Apartment Complex, Pell's Gate City...

Adam lay on the couch watching the news while Sarah cooks them dinner. Feeling kinda bored Adam strikes up conversation.

"Sarah!"

"Yeah?" Sarah shouts from the kitchen.

"What's the date?" Adam asked, knowing that Sarah used every detail possible to describe dates. One of her pet peeves he guessed

"Mid Year, the 5th, 6E433."

"Ok... you didnt have to bust out all the details you know." Adam chuckled a little bit, he loved giving Sarah a hard time over it.

"You know me!"

"Heh heh... yes I do..." Adam said with a hint of lust in his voice.

"Hey!"

"Haha!" Adam laughs with Sarah as she finishes up dinner.

"Hey dinner's done if you're hungy."

"Ok."

Adam gets up off the couch and sits with Sarah at their small dining table. Chicken Alfredo with broccolli. One of Adam's favorites. It was the way Sarah did the sauce. Just that little hint of sour cream, just enough that he could tell it was there. They talk a little bit as they eat but still finish rather quickly. After their meal they both wash the dishes and put the leftovers in the frige. Finally they sit on the couch to watch the news when Adam starts to rub Sarah's sholders.

"Ohhh... that feels awesome Adam."

"Whadda ya say we go to bed early tonight?"

"Ooh! Adam."

He smiles as he yanks Sarah's giggling form off of the couch and carrys her to their room. He then tosses her on the bed and shuts the door.
