"One day till mission launch" Duke yells running across the room and into his as Kidd turns the house upside down looking for his other shoe. "Ok who moved my bag!" he shouts walking back out into the lounge "I had it just now, I put it on my bed and now it's gone..Chris did you move my bag?" Duke looks at Chris who just shrugs his shoulders and goes back to laying on his stomach on the couch feeling sorry for himself.
"Aren't you excited Chris?" KK asks him dragging his suitcase out of his room and dropping it to the floor "You should really get packed, we leave this evening" he says sitting on his case while trying to zip it up.
"Why does it even matter" Chris mumbles burying his head into a cushion "We're not really a rock band so why are we even bothering to do this tour, we're just lying to the 'fans' by telling them we're a band. We're just a bunch of superhero's pretending that we're a band"
"How can you say that? Maybe your just a selfish superhero pretending to me a lead singer who isn't even any good!" Kidd shouts at him after hearing what was being said "All you've done is sulk since Steph left and haven't even bothered to do anything about us, just because your down doesn't mean you have the right to drag us and the band down with you!" Kidd chucks Chris's bag at him and slams the door.
"Chris, just go pack alright. We don't need to fall out over this" KK says, Chris nods his head and gets up walking off to pack as Duke now sits in silence watching all this go on.
"I am not listening to Kidd and Chris argue anymore or I am going to kill them both..erm K, now they've gone can I speak to you for a minute?" Duke asks following KK into the kitchen, KK nods his head and turns to look at him "Well..i er, kinda sent a ticket to Steph incase she decided to come to one of the shows. I know if Chris finds out he'll probably kill me but I thought that I should tell you just so you know, I thought it might be good if she went and saw Chris. She probably wont turn up but it was worth a try?"
"Just don't tell Chris you sent her a ticket, if he finds out he wont be happy. They didn't exactly split up on good terms did they" KK replies thinking back to just a few weeks ago when Steph had accused Chris of trying to poison her because he'd been brainwashed before smashing a vase over his head and leaving "Shame when she smacked him one it didn't bring his memory back"
"If anything I'm sure that shot probably killed more brain cells than it did get any of his memory back, maybe we should take him to a doctor or a shrink or something" Duke laughs motioning that Chris is insane.
"Well it would be interesting to see what he said when we go tell him it's alright and that some of his behavior is totally normal for superhero's?" KK laughs "Like we said in the beginning we'll sort this as a team, ok so nothing major has happened to Chris yet and he hasn't gone all psycho evil on us but there is still obviously something going on, someone rang Steph and freaked her out, Chris is still infected and could turn around and kill us at any moment, Chris and Steph have split up AND..we have a tour coming up!"
"You know, If we were just a 'normal' band I don't think we'd be able to manage all this. We'd probably have gone to number 3431 in the charts and only sold a couple of singles and that's it, I think its our superhero'ism that sells our records you know, the fans just don't know it" Duke says leaning against the kitchen counter and crossing his arms.
"It's actually my sex appeal that sells our records and the fact all our female fans want to get into my pants, I'm willing to put money on that" Chris says walking into the room with his bag.
"You all packed and ready to go then?" KK asks taking it from him and putting it with all the others.
"Yeah, even if I am a superhero pretending to be a lead singer and even if I am not very good at it according to Kidd it doesn't mean the fans are going to miss out on the evening of their lives and one that they'll never forget. Besides getting back to how it used to be could help me get my memory back right" Chris suggests shrugging his shoulders "I wish Steph could be there"
"She might be..in our thoughts of course" Duke quickly says trying to cover his mistake up of nearly telling Chris that Stephanie might be there. "Who knows right?" Duke laughs nervously.
"Yeah..who knows" Chris smiles back a little.
