"Can you tell us the story again Mr Blue?"
That's the question that came for the mouth of a chorus kid. His two brothers and him enjoyed the story i always tell them. The story of me and my wife, Pink.
"You kids wanna hear it again?" I asked them. They nod their heads.
"Well, i cant say no to kids like you. Now gather around"
The kids huddles around the empty stage, without noticing the curious bystanders.
"Here's the story about meeting my wife and how she became my wife" I begin. The chorus kids huddle together, making sure to hear every detail.
Our story begins back in the 1980s. Back then, everyone would blast Elvis Presley and Kool and The Gang in their cars. Pink and I were just teenagers visiting my dad's concert hall. It was big and had one small stage (where I'm telling the chorus kids this story) but bands from around the world would preform and everyone would have a good time and dance until they were purple. I come from a family of musicians. My great grandpa would play the guitar back in Mexico and everyone would come see him. My grandpa and grandma playing in a mariachi together. My dad lived in Japan playing traditional Japanese instruments. He met my mom when she was visiting from Guatemala. They got married and had me. When I grow up, I wanna perform in a band and move people through music and my saxophone skills.
"What? For real? Why"
Oops. Guess i was thinking out loud again. Pink had heard me.
"Because that's how our family makes it money" I told her.
"Seriously?" she replied. Pink's family has many talents. Her ancestors have made shoes for kids in Africa, played with a South Korean pop group and even Orchestrated an Japanese concert. Pink had a dream: she wanted to be a actor ("I thought it was a singer" one of the chorus kid said) she wanted to be a singer. Of course, she was nervous and had the worst stage fright. But when i actually heard sing once, She sings like an angel.
"Maybe..." I begin. "We can start a band... together. Me and that beautiful voice of yours"
Pink looked at me as if i lost my mind
"WHAT?! NO I CAN'T BE IN A BAND I'LL MESS UP AND-"
Oh my god why can't she just take the freaking complimeeent?!
I pull her closer to me, our lips almost touching.
"Blue..." Pink began "I have a boyfriend" ("SHE WHAT??!!" the chorus kids yelled.
"Quiet down kids. you dont wanna draw attention" i told them)
I pull away akwardly. Pink had a boyfriend back then. A rich toad by the name of Jared. He only won Pink's heart because they both watch the Mickey Mouse Club. (That's also why Mickey Mouse was banned from Rhythm Heaven for 3 years). I was jealous of Jared. He had everything he ever wanted and he wooed the ladies with his cash. Most importantly, he hated me because I'm broke. Thank god he's dead now.
Pink's cellphone began to ring. It was Jared.
"I better get this" Pink said. She began talking to Jared and eventually she had to go because Jared was taking her to eat ("Jared is such a meanie" one of the chorus kids said.)
Sometimes I wish I could've punch Jared in his snotty face.
