Chapter 9

Howard sat on the edge of his bed in a hotel somewhere in Oxford. Bags of fan mail leaned against the far corner of the room, all been looked through, not one from the person that meant most to him. Vince was hard to forget, so Howard gave up trying to do so. Sure Howard had become a huge success, yet he felt like there was something missing. All those smiles he did for the camara were never genuine, the only person that ever made him feel truly happy was Vince. Howard wondered what his friend was up to nowadays, a series of questions ran through his mind. 'Was Vince still at the Nabootique? Na unlikely. Has he formed a band with people actually like him? Yeah probably. Has he managed to sign a record deal and has moved to America? Yep definitely. Did he miss or care about Howard now? Very unlikely. Did Howard miss or care for that selfish Mod? Always.'

Howard stared at the phone on his bedside table, his hand slowly moving towards it. He wondered if Vince would speak to him. Knowing Howards dodgy luck, Vince probably might have totally forgotten about him. Taking a deep breath he picked up the phone with one hand and reached for the numbers with his as he was about to press those buttons the door knocked making him jump, causing him to drop the phone. He got off the bed groaning while going off to open the door. He opened it to find two teenage girls standing there, one beaming at him. Howard pulled a face in thought. She looked somewhat baffled by his expression. Her friend looked a bit worried now, she leaned over to whisper in her ear.

Rei: I thought you said you knew him personally?

Halian: Yeah we've met before.

R: Then whys he looking at you like that?

The girl with the glasses, Halian, turns her attention back to Howard.

Ha: Alright mate.

Howard: Haven't i seen you before?

Ha: You forgot about me!

R: Thought so.

Ho: I'm sorry, where have we seen each other?

Ha: In that shop you used to work at back in Dalston, remember? I came in with my sister. Said I was gonna bring my mum next time I was around the area.

Ho: Oh yeah, I do remember you vaguely.

Ha: You see (turning to face her friend) we are on talking terms.

Her friend, Rei, cheered up a bit though she still wasn't totally convinced. She noticed Howard was staring at her, she looked down at her feet shyly trying to hide the blush forming on her cheeks.

Ha: We were wondering if you'd like a drink with us, your biggest fans.

Ho: You two don't look like the type that'd be into jazz.

They both suddenly burst into giggles, making them look like a pair of nutters that somehow escaped therapy.

Ha: It's you we're mainly interested in. Well she is anyway.

R: Hey shuu! (looking really embarrassed now)

Ho: So you two are asking me out on a date?

Ha: Yeah. My friend is anyway, she fancies the arse off you.

R: Halian! Don't tell him that!

Ha: And since we've met before I took it upon myself to bring her to see you in person.

Rei was now hiding her face behind her hands.

Ho: I'm..er..a bit busy right now,(backing off slowly) sorry girls.

Ha: Oh, right.

R: Sorry to have bothered you. (to her friend) Come on before you get us into more trouble!

Ha: Alright we're going, calm down will you. You got to meet Howard Moon.

R: Yeah, now we can leave. I don't want my hands chopped off.

Ha: Right. Well we'll maybe see you around then, thanks for your time.

Ho: Whoo hang on there! Whats this about hands being chopped off?

R: Oh great now you've got him worried.

Ho: Whats happened? Come on you can tell me.

Ha: Well, okay. Some fishy guy threatened to chop our hands off and use them as wall decorations if we went anywhere near you. Some weird git he was, nothimg to worry about though.

R: Come on lets get moving.

She pulled at Halians sleeve, they both ran out the corridor and down the stairs. Howard went back into his room and sat back near the spot where the phone was now hanging from it's wire. It was too late at night to call him now. Those girls had wasted his spare time, damn them! He hoped they get home in one piece mind you, the sound of some guy who used human parts as deco didn't surprise him. There was a lot of mad men in this world cutting up people, but this one guy didn't want these girls to see Howard. Why? That was another annoying question in his mind that would keep him from sleeping well tonight.

This chapter is briefly covering Howards thoughts so far in the story, so it is important in it's own way. I stuck myself and my friend Rei in here because even though she isn't as much of a Boosh fan anymore, i did tell her ages ago i had added her to my fanfic, so here it is. Don't worry folks we won't be hogging the spot light in the other chapters. ^^ So anyway Howard belongs to the Boosh. Rei belongs to herself and Halian is me so I belong to me, I think. o_o
