Where Am I? : Chapter 11

The sounds of chatter and music filled Mickey's as I was settled down on the red couch, with the Travis, Lily, and Ray while Robbie went to get us some drinks. It was a relaxing feeling, just sitting there after a long day of school, which let me tell you, the classes didn't get better as the day went on. I decided then that Mickey's was a really great place to unwind, and forget all your worries from school of grades, and exams. Even though my worries were much different from those, I found myself thinking about them less, which was on the plus side.

I reached for the piece of metal from the can that Ray had given me before, that was now hanging on a thin chain around my neck. As a joke, Lily had given me the chain, but somehow, it was no joke to me. As I rubbed the smooth surface with my thumb, it gave me the assurance that Ray's superstitious wishes would come true.

"Here you go guys." Robbie said, breaking my absentminded gaze at the ceiling. He was walking towards the couch, holding a tray with pastel colored mugs that were giving off steam. As he placed it on the coffee table in front of the couch, the eager hands of Lily and Ray reached out and grabbed their refreshments. Travis, Robbie and I waited before the race between them was over, and then we also retrieved our mugs. The heat from the tea created a tingly warm sensation in my finger tips as I held the mug between my hands.

"How do you think the RFR show today was?" Robbie asked curiously as he brought his mug filled with his usual late to his mouth. He looked at Lily questionably over the rim of his mug. Lily dipped her finger into the whip cream that was floating on top of her hot chocolate and stuck it in her mouth. While sucking the whip cream off her finger, she had a mocking pondering look on her face. Then after a few moments, she shrugged her shoulders, and dipped her finger in the whipped cream again.

"I don't know Robbie, it was okay I guess..for being last minute and all..." Lily said as if it was no big deal. Ray nodded his head, silently agreeing because he was gulping his hot chocolate down at an amazing rate. Robbie looked down into his drink, looking slightly annoyed with himself, annoyed with himself for being a last minute Harry, or Robbie in his particular case.

The thing that I really learned while being there, that I didn't always see on the TV program, is that Robbie is a perfectionist. And when I say perfectionist, I mean it at top notch. Being totally unprepared for the broadcast today really made him upset since after lunch at school. As the rest of the crew let it roll off their backs, knowing not all their shows can be perfect, Robbie had let it stay on his shoulders and weigh him down for the rest of the day. As I watched him continue too look glumly at his mug, I decided to use one of my Dad's 'lessons'.

"Really, stop being a hammer, Robbie." I said. Okay maybe it wasn't quite a lesson, but if it worked.... When Robbie didn't look up, I narrowed my eyes and spoke more sternly. "Robbie, you are beating the living day lights out of the subject! Stop hammering the pulp out of it."

"She's right Robbie," Travis said, looking up from the book that was in his lap, that he had been reading. "Robbie, it's one show, you were unprepared, big deal..." Robbie looked up at Travis, and was about to open his mouth to say that it was a big deal, but Travis held up his hand to silence him. "Robbie, let the topic that we discussed yesterday be a lesson to you......"

When Robbie gave him a bewildered look, Travis gave out a sigh before continuing. "Most good judgment comes from experience. Most experience comes from bad judgment, so learning from this, next time, prepare the segments earlier in the week when you think you are going to be busy." Travis concluded simply before taking a small sip from his tea. He did not acknowledge the silence that now surrounded us, and returned to reading. I gazed at him in amazement. Sure, I knew quotes, but I was impressed how Travis could use them in those life lessons of his, not even mentioning in everyday problems.

Robbie widened his eyes at Travis. "Somehow...you made sense." He said in awe. Travis diverted his gaze once again from his book, and eyed Robbie from under a cocked eyebrow, not understanding Robbie's amazement. Then, with a sigh, Travis brought his eyes back to the pages in his book.

"Glad to hear it..." Travis said quietly with a turn of a page, back to trying to read. On the other hand, Robbie sat up in his seat so suddenly, that Lily backed away, afraid he would knock the mug right out of her hand. I caught Ray's gaze, and we both rolled our eyes. Robbie was now acting like 20 pounds had been lifted off his shoulders. Then with a great sigh of obvious relief, Robbie leaned back on the cushions with a big huge grin on his face. While I watched him, trying so hard not to laugh, he turned to me, still grinning.

"Well, I am going to take Travis's advice here," Robbie said, smiling widely. "Danielle, could you give me back the notebook; you know with the topic ideas? Maybe we can think of something for tomorrow..."

"How about a segment on 'Your Momma' jokes?" Ray asked helpfully. Lily shook her head and landed her trademark punch on his arm. That stopped Ray from suggesting anymore ideas as he rubbed his newest edition to his bruises, which he seemed to recieve very often.

I nodded my head, smiling at Robbie's enthusiasm, and grabbed my backpack off the floor. Robbie had handed it to me after lunch, too angry at himself to even glance at it. So I had kept it in my bag the whole day, for safe keeping.

I rummaged through the bag for the black battered notebook, pushing through my own school marble notebooks, camera, batteries....but there was so sign of the notebook. I felt my heart drop as the search for it became frantic as I started yanking items out of it and throwing them on the couch. I could feel the eyes of Robbie, Ray, Travis, and Lily watching me as I quickly pulled the random objects out, but none of them were Robbie's notebook.

I felt my body go numb as I gazed down inside the empty bag, with no notebook inside. It was the sort of feeling you get when you realize you have forgotten an assignment, or sent an email to the wrong person. Except right now, at this time, it was much worse. The notebook wasn't here, but I knew where it was....

"It's not here...." I whispered, trying so hard to hope it wasn't true, and maybe it would just conveniently pop out from thin air. Of course, anywhere, even in a TV show, it probably wouldn't happen.

Facing the facts, reluctantly of course, I slowly looked up from the empty bag, at the gang, afraid of their reactions. They all stared at me, eyes widened in horror, and slight worry. They all were thinking the same thing, and also knew where the notebook was.

Please review, only a little more to go!! :D
