Chapter 8: Love with Barry on the Barrow-Downs
That night MC F.b had no dreams and neither did singing awake the homies. After breakfast they were ready to leave. The homies started of on their P.Tooky video scooters. 'Phew, we escaped without having to say goodbye to Cher-Berry' MC F.b though. 'Tom saying goodbye while dancing, is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.' though Sam G But at that moment a screeching sound broke the silence. All the homies turned around to see Cher-Berry, red haired and in a white cat suit. No doubt the alarm board of the Fashion Police was bleeping like crazy. Cher-Berry spoke to them. 'Hurry now boys! buh-byee!!!' she shouted to them. They carried on, although the homies could still hear faint sounds of Tom and Cher-Berry singing. Riding through the hood, they ate some nachos. The neighbourhood was empty, they saw no one. MC F.b soon noticed that it was getting dark, and they usually had their bodyguards with them. They were approaching the barrow-downs. 'Come on my homies!' he called out, noticing that they hadn't kept up with him. No one came. 'Yo Sam G! P.Tooky?, Mezza B?! Come on! quit playin' me!' he shouted. There was no answer. He scootered round the hood but found no one. 'My homies! Where are ya?' he shouted again. 'Here!' said a voice, deep and yet strangely soothing. 'I'm waiting for yooooooou my darling.' the voice said again. MC F.b suddenly fell off his scooter. He looked up; hovering over him was a tall, dark, quite chunky figure. It leaned over him, breathing deeply. MC F.b could not see its eyes for they were covered with dark shades. He then felt a hand on his Louis Vuitton covered shoulder.
When he came to, he could remember nowt. He then realised he was imprisoned. He was in a Love Barrow. A Barry-White had taken him hostage and he was under the dreadful love spell that the Barry-Whites were famous for. Many tales had been told about the Barry-Whites, mainly about females.but there were a few stories from male's aswell. MC F.b dared not move. He lay still, upon the Vibrating Bed of Love he had found himself on. He lay there, a pale red light and romantic soulful music around him. He turned to see the other homies lying on beds across the room. Around them lay loads of bling-bling.weird. And I mean loads of it.
Suddenly a song began.the voice seemed far away but you could still feel the smoothness of it. After a while the song became clear.
'Oh, baby, sweet baby
What am I gonna do, yeah, yeah
Baby, sweet baby, my babe
What am I gonna do with you, yeah
Been makin' love for hours
And, baby, with you goin' strong
Boy, this night is ours
And, ooh, I swear I feel it comin' on, yeah'
(Taken from the Barry White song 'What am I gonna do with you')
He tried to block out the song, by thinking of ways he could escape from the Love Barrow. He thought about using the bling-bling and running for it, like real fast! But he couldn't leave his homeboys. Who would he cruise in his Bentley with? Who would he partay with? Who would feature on, and in the vid's of his future No 1's?
Suddenly, MC F.b had an idea. He remembered something that Tom Jones had told him. He didn't want to, but he had to. He opened his mouth and began to sing.
'When you are far away
I'd like to be part of your time each day
So think of me
A minute of your time
Is all it takes to bring us close
When we are far apart'
(Taken from the great song by Tom Jones 'One Minute of your Time)
There was a reply.
'Its not unusual to be loved by anyone,
Its not unusual to have fun with anyone'
MC F.b knew he was coming. A heart shaped door opened and in popped Tom's head. He was on rollarblades. He held his microphone and began to sing. . This is sure to scare the Barry-White away thought MC F.b.
'Aw, Aw baby, Yeah, ooh Yeah, huh, listen to this
Spy on me baby use satellite
Infrared to see me move through the night
Aim gonna fire shoot me right
Aim gonna like the way you fight
And I love the way you fight'
And it did. There was a voice, the same smoooooth one MC F.b had heard before. Like it too had, had many hit singles. A voice that too sounded like it charmed a lot of ladies. And with that the Barry-White was gone. 'Come on lad, help me get your mate out of here' asked Tom. As MC F.b left the Love Barrow for good, he spotted a pair of dark shades.
The homies woke up. 'Yo, ma homie, were ya bin'?' asked Mezza B. 'Aaaaaaagggh!' screamed Sam G. 'Whats wrong boy?' asked MC F.b
'We're dressed in non-designer threads!!!'
The homies screamed. Tom Jones chuckled 'You won't find your clothes again' said Tom as he skated around. His teeth glinting in the sunlight. 'Wha, this is not happenin' boy' P.Tooky said. 'The Barry-White took them. You were in his Love Barrow. But don't worry, he wanted to serenade you, he had you hypnotised with his smoooooth voice' explained Tom. 'And we shouldn't be worried?' MC F.b asked. 'No, because I saved you' said Tom proudly, skating backwards, 'I'll be back soon' and he skated off.
The homies did some break dancing for a while brushing up on their moves, getting down with their bad selves. Tom came skating back with their scooters and after saying their thanks and goodbyes they were on there way again. 'Remember boys, Cher-Berry, and me we always be waiting for you! Us and the karaoke machine!' he shouted.
The homies scootered off even faster on their way to Bree.
