Chapter 2 I Dare You

It was almost 11:00 o'clock and Tommy had met everybody and chatted with Kwest, Speed, Kyle, Wally, EJ, and

Portia. He had already known everybody else. But his mind kept wondering back to the blond singer in the Joey Ramone's tee shirt.

There was something special about her that attracted Tommy to her. Then he seen her coming towards him. He greeted her before she

reached him. "Hey Judeee..." He said in a sing song voice. Jude just rolled her eyes and smiled. "You know how many times I hear that a

week?" Tommy smirked. "No clue."

"Well, a lot. So I'm going to record with Kwest now if you still wanna listen to me?" Tommy got excited to hear her sing

in person. "Yeah, lets go." Tommy followed Jude into a studio and she told him to sit next to Kwest in her chair while she went into the

recording booth to get set up. Kwest and Tommy shared a "whats up man" nod like they have known each other for years and they both

got prepared to hear Jude's voice fill the speakers. "Ready when you are." Kwest said to Jude through the mic and Jude nodded.

Seconds later, Jude's voice began to fill the room...

Hello, let me introduce you to
The characters in the show
One says yes, one says no
Decide - which voice in your head you can keep alive

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello, are you still chasing
The memories in shadows
Some stay young, some grow old
Come alive, there are thoughts unclear
You can never hide

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello
Hello...
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello...
Hello...
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Jude opened her eyes and looked at Kwest and Tommy for their opinions. Tommy was speechless cause she did so well.

He was expecting her to be good, but not like that. Kwest hit the intercom button again and spoke into the mic, "That was great Jude,

just do it one more time with the playback." Jude gave a thumb's up and listened to the music pouring through her headphones and got

lost in her music again.

While Jude was getting lost in her song, Tommy was getting lost in her. "How can so much emotion and fire come out of

just an eighteen year old girl rocker?" Tommy thought to himself. And that's when he started to realize that she wasn't just some angsty

teen rocker, but a heart felt musician. And he was compelled to try to get closer to her even though he only knew her for about four

hours. Jude finished singing again and Kwest said she was done and he would stay and finish the mixing. "Hey, are you going to get

lunch?" Kwest asked Jude. Jude looked at Kwest, then at Tommy and got a slight nod from him, and then turned back to Kwest and

said, "Sure, what do you want me to bring you back?" Kwest smiled, Jude knew him too well. "Whatever you gets fine." He replied.

"Kay, see ya in like an hour." "Bye man." Tommy said to Kwest before exiting after Jude. Kwest waved and then went back to mixing

Jude's newly recorded hit.

Tommy and Jude really hadn't spoke since she started reording so once they reached the lobby, Jude asked Tommy

what he thought of her song. "That was even better than I expected, girl. Really amazing." Jude blushed at his compliment but more at the

fact that he used an indearing name and called her girl. Tommy saw this and smirked to himself. "You wanna take my car and we'll head

out and grab some food real quick at Subway before we have to be back?" Jude looked longingly up at Tommy, "Yeah, sounds good."

The drive to Subway was quiet, but comfortably quiet. Once they reached the diner, Tommy and Jude got out of the car,

went in and ordered their sadwiches. "I'd like a six inch toasted ham and provelone sub with tomato please." Tommy recited like he had

ordered that order a million times. "Well thats boring." Jude thought to herself. "And for you miss?" The worker guy asked. "Um, well I

need a six inch italian sub wih all the works and extra italian dressing. And for me, I would like...a twelve inch toasted sub with...turkey,

ham, swiss and american cheese, lettuce, pickle and banana peppers please? Oh, and can you make that on whole wheat bread?" Jude

smiled and the guy made her ordered while Tommy looked at her in amazement.

"How does that even sound appealing? Mixing turkey and ham, and american and swiss, and banana peppers? You have

strange taste buds.." Tommy said. "Well sorry I don't like to get the same plain order ALL the time." Tommy almost was offended but

then he saw the hint of laughter on Jude's face and decided to play along. "You're right, I'm just so damn boring." Jude was bewildered

that he just agreed like that. "What..?" "I'm just agreeing with you. You're right, I'm predictable." Jude wasn't sure what was going on, but

she didn't have a good feeling about it. But Tommy on the other hand, had a plan brewing in his head. "Okay Quincy, whatever you say."

"Okay, Harrison." Tommy thought it was cute that they called each other by their last names. But anyways, back to his thoughts...

Jude and Tommy walked out of Subway about five minutes later with bags of delicious sandwiches in hand. When they

got in the car. Jude was busy fiddling with Kwest's bag and Tommy just turned facing her and just stared at her. When Jude felt Tommy's

gaze burning her skin, she turned to face him. "What is it Tommy?" Tommy smiled sneekily. "Nothing...its just..." He trailed off. "Just

what?" Jude probed. "This." And in one swift motion Tommy leaned in and brushed his lips against Jude's. She didn't react right away but

then she felt his warm tongue on her lips and she eagerly granted him excess into her mouth while kissing him back. Their tongues danced

and wrestled but it ended just as quickly and sparatic as it started and Tommy pulled away and started the car while Jude was still staring

at him confused.

"Was that predictable?" Tommy asked Jude with a smirk on his face. Jude just sat there shocked as Tommy pulled out of

the parking lot heading back to D-Major for their conference at 12:30. Jude just sat there and thought about what an interesting tour this

was gonna be...

Hope you liked it...
