Perfect Match
(This is a combination of the episodes 'The Day the Music Died' and 'Straight From the Heart.' Jem fans know what happened to her, but what happened to the Stingers is unknown; well this what I think could have happened. Riot is now going over some paperwork after firing designer Regine Cesaire.)
It's April 25th, a week after Jem and Riot have returned to their music companies. As she had gotten things back in order the lead singer of The Stingers was now doing the same thing. However he was having problems, Eric and Pizzazz's constant harassment for starters. They were always asking him if he found out Jem's identity while they were on the island. In addition the last few days he couldn't even get her to speak to him. Suspecting his scam with Mrs. Farnsworth didn't help. To make matters worse he had fired Regine Cesaire and although Minx had him hire Yaki Tori, his designs turned out weren't that good after all.
Moreover every time the designer would design something new for Pizzazz she would tear it up and after he asked her why she did it she always had an excuse. Saying things like they weren't good enough for her taste and it seemed his partner's lead singer did this a lot. He shakes his head in disappointment. He was glad though he went to see Jem and the Holograms perform the night before, however seeing his love wear what the French designer had in mine made her look hideous. Nevertheless her voice was of course magic. He smiles as he imagines her voice in his mind. But his precious moment is shattered when he hears the door slam. Riot then opens his eyes to see the lead singer of The Misfits glaring at him. He knew why too. Pizzazz was probably still fuming that he left with Jem on that cruise ship.
"Eric tells me that you won't tell us who she is. Remember Riot she's the enemy and besides why didn't you take me on that cruise ship it would have been very romantic if I came along." She purrs. The blonde singer gawks at her. "Please I just had lunch. Besides I thought I made myself perfectly clear after I got back we are not a couple. That's all in your head. I want nothing to do with you especially after what Minx and Rapture told me you did with them and the Holograms." "It was a good song. I always knew my time in the spotlight would come but then miss pink hair had to come back and take it all away from me again!" "I don't want to hear it. Oh when are the Misfits going to produce another album? Eric told me you were good but so far you haven't produced one!" "It's not my fault Stormer hasn't given me anything good yet." She then sees his face. Her secret was out. "Minx told me that Kimber and Stormer wrote Top of the Charts. You told me you wrote for the Misfits have you been lying to me?" she just fluffs her hair.
"It's my daddy's money that got this company started so I get whatever I want and if I want to say that I'm the writer for the Misfits that's how it'll be. He goes to respond when there is a knock on the door. "Yes?" "Riot its Stormer can I come in?" "Not unless you have something better then what you have been giving me." The keyboardist just shrugs her shoulders. "These are good Pizzazz. I just wish you would at least look at them." "Let me see them." Says Riot. Ignoring her lead singer Stormer hands her employer the music sheet. She watches him scan the lyrics humming the words. "This is very good. If Pizzazz won't use it The Stingers will." She smiles that is until she sees the green haired woman's face. "Don't even say it Pizzazz. Remember Eric and I are partners so you work for me as well. If I want to use her work I will and this time her name will go on the album as the writer." "Oh thank you Riot!" she then leaves his office.
However once she is gone Pizzazz's sweet demeanor disappears. Furious that another woman could gain his attention when she knew that it was her father's money that got The Stingers to look her way. Why was he ignoring her and paying attention to miss pink hair and not her? It wasn't fair. "How dare you! First Jem now Stormer I'm better then both of them! You should be paying attention to me!" she then shoves his papers off his desk when he doesn't look up at her. "That does it get out! I'm sick of your tantrums maybe Eric will tolerate this attitude but I won't." she goes to respond when Riot's partner enters the room. "You heard him Pizzazz. Besides he's right its been a while since the Misfits put out an album anyway well that is unless you want Jem to get top ratings in the music charts." "Fine, but this isn't over Riot. She can't have you no matter what you say because you're mine!" she then leaves his office slamming the door behind her. But after she is gone Eric turns to his partner.
"Speaking of Jem did you at any time see who she is?" The blonde singer can only stare. "What is so damn important about gaining her identity?" "Because it is. I mean for all we know Jem could be a criminal." "Very funny Eric." His partner is about to respond when the phone rings. "Hello Lindsey." "Riot do you think it's possible I could interview you this afternoon? I have some questions I've been dying to ask you!" "Of course Lindsey. Is one o' clock alright?" "Absolutely I'll see you at Stingers Sound." Riot then looks at Eric and realizes that wouldn't be a good idea. "Lindsey would you mind if we met at my penthouse?" "Sure no problem." "Good I'll see you there." She then hangs up.
Nevertheless at one as Riot leaves Stingers Sound Eric Raymond stops him. "I think you and I should talk before you see Lindsey." The blonde singer looks at the Misfit's manager. He was nervous. "I have to go Eric I'll see you tomorrow." "But." Riot turns glaring at him. "It's about time you show me how good you are at running this company so far I've been the one doing all the work." He then leaves to meet Lindsey at his penthouse. But as the limo drives away Eric watches him through his office window. Pizzazz then appears next to him, "you better hope Eric that Lindsey doesn't tell Riot about the past few years." "Yeah I know. If Riot finds out that I lied about Jerrica we'll be in big trouble." "No you'll be in trouble." Her manager turns to the lead singer of the Misfits.
"Oh really don't forget what you and the other Misfits tried with Prescott last year. When you found that obsessed fan through the classifieds whom you used in trying to gain Jem's identity." Raising her hand she goes to slap him when he grabs her wrist. "We're in this together Pizzazz like it or not now go work on getting another album out!" she pulls away and then storms out of his office. Once inside his penthouse the manager calls him to tell Riot that Lindsey had arrived. The blonde reporter still couldn't believe that The Stingers had just signed on with Eric Raymond after what he and the Misfits had done in the past few years. Then after getting seated does she start to ask her questions to the lead singer of the Stingers. But as she does Lindsey gets the impression Riot did not in fact check out Eric Raymond. "You really don't know about him do you? Him or the Misfits." Riot sits back. "What's there to know? Both music presidents came to see me on stage. Moreover Eric even said that Jerrica was an amateur."
"An amateur huh, is that what he told you. Well first off for your information Eric used to work for her father at Starlight Music. It seems after he died Jerrica and Eric each got half of Starlight Music only he wouldn't let her access any of the funds, probably because he didn't want her to find out that he had embezzled from her father's music company." She watches as Riot squeezes his fists in anger. "There's more." She then tells him of the past few years and what Eric and the Misfits had tried to do in getting rid of Jem and the Holograms as well as his partner's hatred of Jerrica Benton.
By the time the interview is over the lead singer of the Stingers is furious. Although yes he was mad at Eric he was in fact angrier with himself. Jerrica had warned him, pleaded to him that night at Le Klub Kool, but would he listen no! The poor thing looked at him as if he was making the biggest mistake of his life. Maybe it was time he go see her. Talk to her and this time be more open and allow her to explain things. She may not have the glitz that Eric had to offered him, but she did know how to promote her group and that mattered. That mattered to him a lot. "Thank you Lindsey you have been very helpful. I think I will go see Jerrica tonight and give her a second chance." She smiles. "Glad to hear it." He then kisses her hand and walks her to the door.
