A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for a long time, As you may know, a couple of my fic/poem have been deleted, which results in me not being able to upload anything for a while. But back to the story-- Things are going to start getting shitty for Travis in these upcoming chapters. The chapters will probably be short I must admit, but bear with me. Or however you spell it.
Ch. 7: Broadcast Canadia
I got my wish at 3:45.
Lily came by herself, which was no surprise since she usually comes earlier than the rest, as well as by herself.
"Hey Pal." She wasn't surprised to see me either.
"Ciao" I said, thinking I was cool using other languages.
"That's a new one." She said heading over to her guitars.
"I like to keep you on your toes." I said leaning back and resting the back of my head on my linked hands. I watched her pick up a guitar and sit in a chair facing me.
"Been working on anything new?" I asked.
"Not really, just a few chords."
"Exciting." I used sarcasm.
She smiled, "And how's miss absent-Audrey?"
I had forgotten about Audrey missing school after being at RFR.
"Cold," I started. "I mean, she's got a cold. But it was weird, I heard something in the background on the phone and suddenly she starts coughing, as if trying to hide something?"
"Hmm.. maybe just coincidence." She optimistically proposed.
"Hopefully. Oh yeah," I realized, "They caught him."
"They did?! Oh how great! Well what a relief, it was scary enough just knowing a prowler was loose, it must have been even worse for you..?"
"Definitely. But I'm glad."
"I'll say!" Ray's voice suddenly startled me. Him and Robbie had been standing by the door listening to me and Lily's conversation.
"How long have you guys been standing there?" Lily asked.
"Long enough. We didn't want to interupt anything." Robbie said.
How did I not realize they were there? More importantly, how did Lily not realize it?
The show was about to start.
"Get equipped" I said to the three of them.
"Right." Robbie said picking up his gold microphone.
"And you guys are on in 5..4..3..2.." I hand signaled one.
"You're listening to Radio Free Roscoe." Ray decided to say all of 'Radio Free Roscoe' instead of giving each person an individual word.
"Thank you, Pronto." Lily as Shady Lane said.
"Just doin' my job." Ray smirked.
"In other news, we are glad to report that your friend and mine, Travis Strong, has returned from the hospital to school after the terrible accident which I'm sure most of you have heard about by now." Robbie as Question Mark said.
"Yep, we missed you Travis and hope you can get your life back into regular rotation in the coming future." Lily said.
"Ditto." Ray had nothing to say.
They sure did know where I was coming from though. I felt the back of my head. The bump was still there, I hope it's not permanent. Like some scar reminding me of what happened.
"So, we're going to take a short break. Stay tuned." Ray said. That was my que to throw on a tune.
They took off their headphones, as did I.
"You guys sure hit the nail on the head talking about me." I told them.
There was an awkward silence for a few moments before I realized that the show was going back on in a matter of seconds.
"Welcome back faithful listeners. I'm Question Mark, and I'm wondering what is religion?"
Very risky subject.
"Well... I think religion is something people goto to believe they have a higher purpose then just roaming and repopulating." Ray said.
Amazing. Never thought the poor soul had the train of thought.
I decided to speak up. "Well I think religion is a way to get in touch with your spirituality, at least in Buddhism." Ray smiled at me after I said this.
"Well, for the first time in a few days, our very own Smog has decided to talk."
Nice cover up. The phone light started blinking. I wrote down the name and held up the chalk-board.
"Hello, Influenza, on line 1." Lily said.
"Hi, this really doesn't have anything to do with religion, but I just wanted to say that I'm so glad Travis is back at school, I've missed him so much. And, He's just a great guy and I hope he's listening to this."
Obviously it was Audrey.
"Thanks for the call." Ray said, "How about another break."
I threw on another song. Everyone, of course, took off their headphones and started talking again.
"Oooh, smoochie smoochie, Travey-Davey." Ray made kissing noises at me, "But why did she use the name 'Influenza'"
"Yeah, I thought she had a cold?" Lily looked at me, puzzled.
So did I, so did I.
