"Now I know you said that you invented it, but me and my big brother have perfected it." Carson said with a cocky attitude as the guys set up the roof.

Cappie laughed. That's exactly how he sounded when he was Carson's age.

"Oh you think so." Cappie replied. "And which of those boys is your lovely big brother?"

"Frankenstein." Carson said proudly. He loved his big brother like he was his blood.

"I'm guessing that's the green haired one with the piercings." Cappie chuckled, remembering a guy just like that when he was a pledge.

"You bet." Carson smiled, grabbing his driver. He picked up the one next to it and handed it to Cappie. "Here Cap, I mean JP, I mean dad."

"You can call me Cappie, just you." Cappie took the driver out of his hands. "Hey, my old lucky golf club."

"It was in the Legend's Closet. And why don't you like being called Cappie?" Carson asked, pulling a ball out of the bucket and sticking it on the tee.

Cappie grabbed another ball and put it on his own tee. "That's not who I am anymore."

"And who are you now?" Carson smacked the ball off the tee.

The two watched the ball soar through the air before bouncing off the roof of the Lambda Sig house.

"Nice shot." Cappie chuckled.

"Thanks." Carson said. "And…"

"And…" Cappie said. "I'm not Cappie. I'm J.P. Jones."

"And what does JP do?" Carson asked.

"Well let's see, what haven't I done?" Cappie laughed. "After I graduated I worked at Kappa Tau National Headquarters." Cappie began, taking his shot.

"You worked at Nationals?" Carson thought that was so cool.

"Yup. But not for long, only like a year or two." Cappie said.

"Then what'd you do?" Carson wanted to know.

"Started working in advertising for this company run by a couple of Kappa Tau's." Cappie said. "But that didn't last long either because the company went under."

"That sucks." Carson said.

"Yeah, but it did teach me that advertising wasn't my thing." Cappie laughed.

The two continued golfing and talking about the many jobs that Cappie's had.

"You know you've had just as many jobs as you've had majors." Carson laughed.

"What can I say, I love a new adventure." Cappie laughed.

"And what's your latest adventure?" Carson asked.

"Actually I've currently got a couple." Cappie said. "Two of which are kind of the reasons why I'm here."

Carson just gave him a confused look.

"While I was still in DC and still dating your mother..." Cappie's voice got a little angry when he mentioned Casey. "I started a band."

"No way!" Carson got excited.

"Yeah." Cappie continued. "A couple of us from Nationals all played different instruments and decided to put together a band."

"What instrument do you play?" Carson asked.

"Guitar and I'm also lead vocal." Cappie replied, taking another shot.

"So that's why you're here?" Carson asked. "Your band is playing the All Greek Block Party."

"Precisely." Cappie said. "They're all back at the hotel."

"But I thought you said they were all Kappa Tau's." Carson said.

"They are. But they're not CRU KT's." Cappie explained.

"Ah, got it." Carson said. "And the other reason you're here is?"

"Ah, my other adventure." Cappie smiled. "After having the band together for a while, we were looking for a permanent place to rehearse because apparently people in apartment buildings don't like rock bands."

Carson laughed. His parents and neighbors didn't like his drumming either.

"We actually found a storefront with a ridiculously tiny studio in the back. Like seriously, it was the size of a closet. Anyway, we started practicing there, and eventually the people who owned the storefront became certified record label owners, so they took us on as their first clients." Cappie continued.

"So you're here promoting the label." Carson figured that must be the other reason.

"Not exactly." Cappie said. "Our label owners got a little too big and wanted to move to New York City, only our band didn't want to. So instead of forcing us to move, they gave us an option; they would sell us the storefront, which by now had become an official studio."

"So did you take it?" Carson asked.

"You bet your ass." Cappie chuckled. "I bought that recording studio and started my own label with the experience I had in business and advertising. It definitely pays to delve into a little bit of everything."

Carson laughed. He was kind of doing the same thing being a surfing, drumming, football playing, history major.

"I can't believe you own a record label. That's so cool." Carson smiled.

"Yup, KT Records." Cappie explained. "The only clients I take on are fellow Kappa Tau brothers."

"Of course." Carson laughed. "So who are some of your clients?"

"Ever heard of the Plain White T's?" Cappie asked.

"Are you serious? They rock!" Carson said excitedly. "I learned to play drums from their songs."

"You play drums?" Cappie loved learning all about his kid.

"Yeah, mom wanted me to be more well-rounded, so she told me to try band in school." Carson explained. "I was supposed to be playing all the classical stuff they were teaching, but most of the time I went on YouTube and found drummers from rock bands to copy."

Cappie laughed. Carson sounded exactly like him when he was younger.

"Well they're here to play the block party if you want to meet them." Cappie said.

"Are you serious?" Carson asked excitedly.

"Absolutely." Cappie said. "And I think you met one of my other clients already."

"Really, who?" Carson thought about it for a minute. "Andylicious?"

"That's the one." Cappie said.

"So we're getting performances from Plain White T's, Andylicious, and your band…which I don't know the name of." Carson laughed.

"You're welcome." Cappie said, with a slight cocky attitude. "And my band's name is Sirens Eye."

"Ooh, sounds like an idie rock thing." Carson said. "And if you ever need a drummer, feel free to look me up."

"You'll be the first one on my list." Cappie said. "And didn't you just say you're a history major?"

"Yeah, my parents weren't too thrilled, but I love it." Carson said. "Why do you ask?"

"Because that's the third little adventure I'm on." Cappie explained. "After living in New York for a month working at the art and history museums they have, I realized I kind of liked it. Moved back to DC and have been working at the multitude of Smithsonians ever since."

"That's awesome." Carson said, hitting another ball off the roof. "What do you do there?"

"I'm in HR." Cappie said. "I do the hiring and firing, as well as all the event planning."

"Event planning?" Carson immediately assumed he was throwing Kappa Tau style parties.

"No we don't have crazy ragers." Cappie said. "I planned the last gala that helped the National Museum of American History get over $20,000 in donations for their new 'fads through the decades' wing."

"Sounds cool. Do you do any of the actual historic stuff?" Carson asked.

"A little now and again." Cappie said. "If they need some fresh ideas for an exhibit layout they usually call me. But enough about me, what about you?"

"What do you mean, what about me?" Carson asked. He didn't think his life was that interesting.

"Other than drumming, what do you do?" Cappie asked, hitting another ball off the roof.

"Play football and surf." Carson answered, not thinking those were too out of the ordinary.

"You play for CRU?" Cappie asked.

"Number one recruit this year." Carson replied. "And loving every minute of it."

"Sounds like you're just like me; you like to dabble into a little bit of everything." Cappie chuckled.

"Yeah, I just wish CRU was closer to the ocean so I could surf while I was in school." Carson said. "And I wish I could bring my drum kit out here. Drums on Guitar Hero are fun, but not as good as the real thing."

"Nothing is ever as good as the real thing." Cappie pulled out one of his wise old sayings. "Anything else I should know about you? Give me the long story short of the past 19 years."

"Well I've lived in California my whole life, and I have a sister named Maddie."

"Am I her father too?" Cappie sort of joked.

"Nope, she's only 10." Carson replied, laughing a little at the remark.

"What else you got?" Cappie asked.

"I graduated top of my class in high school, and was their football team's MVP." Carson continued explaining. "Came here because I wanted to get out of Cali and experience new things; went against my parents' wishes to rush Kappa Tau, met my roomie and best friend Seth, aka Superman, and also met my other best friend and now ZBZ girlfriend Maddie."

"I thought you said Maddie was your sister?" Cappie got confused.

"They're both named Maddie." Carson said. "Anyway, that's pretty much it. The rest of my college life I've been going to class and Kappa Tau parties and playing football….oh and learning about you."

"So from the sounds of things you're a Kappa Tau golden boy." Cappie said.

"Why else do you think they call me Titan?" Carson laughed.

"Good point." Cappie laughed. "And you said you partied? Anything Cappie worthy?"

Carson looked around to see if anyone was remotely near them. "Don't tell anyone I told you this, but last night we had a killer party."

"You know that's not typically a secret here at Kappa Tau." Cappie stated the obvious.

"It is when it's a pledges only party." Carson said.

"Pledges only! That's unheard of!" Cappie was so shocked, he screwed up his shot and the ball landed in the fountain at the end of Greek Row.

They both stared at the brightly colored ball bouncing on the water.

"I meant to ask this before we started, but how do you guys get those back?" Cappie asked.

"Officer Clark." Carson shivered when he said it.

"Clark? What happened to Huck?" Cappie asked.

"Retired about 5 years ago." Carson said.

"Have I really missed that much?" Cappie asked rhetorically. "How bad is Clark? Worse than Huck?"

"Never had to deal with Huck, but Clark is frustrating." Carson said. "He nabs Kappa Tau's for pretty much anything he can."

"Sounds exactly like Huck." Cappie chuckled. "Huck was an ass that wouldn't let us get away with anything."

"Did he at least have a soft spot for bribery?" Carson asked.

"Not really." Cappie said. "And then anyone who touched his golf cart was pretty much a dead man."

"Ew, at least with Clark you can get away with a little bit of bribery." Carson laughed.

"How the hell do Kappa Tau's bribe campus security?" Cappie really wanted to know.

"We basically do whatever we can to kiss their ass while behind the scenes we're usually doing something illegal." Carson said. "Like a few weeks ago the brothers promised they wouldn't prank the school during an important event."

"That doesn't sound like Kappa Tau." Cappie laughed.

"It's not. But the brothers said they wouldn't, and instead offered to get coffee for everybody." Carson continued.

"God you guys are boring." Cappie said.

"No, our brothers acted boring." Carson explained. "While they were bringing Clark and the rest of campus security to get coffee, us pledges snuck into the pool before the big national meet and put blue food coloring in the pool."

"Excellent." Cappie smiled. "Did they ever figure out it was you?"

"Nope, that's the best part." Carson smiled. "They blamed Omega Chi."

"Ah, the icing on the cake." Cappie chuckled. "How'd you pin it on them?"

"Strategically left behind an Omega Chi class ring." Carson said. "And of course then we stole an Omega Chi's shirt to put over the security camera."

"I'm still surprised campus security didn't notice that all the pledges were missing." Cappie said.

"Ah, but we weren't." Carson chuckled. "After pulling the prank we all split up, each going toward a random teacher's classroom who liked us, and then when the brothers walked by with the security guys, we came out of the buildings and joined them."

"Trickery at its finest. Nice work pledge." Cappie said.

He stopped himself for a second. Did he really just say that? His old personality was starting to come back and he was becoming Cappie again. Was he ready for that? He really wasn't sure. All he was sure of was that he was glad the school had chosen his band, and he was glad he said yes.


A/N = So what do you think of the new Cappie? I actually pulled a little bit of realtiy into my story with Cappie's band. Scott Michael Foster, who plays Cappie, has an indie rock band called Sirens Eye and they are absolutely amazing. You guys should check them out on youtube!
