Chapter 12- Why Don't You Take Another Little Piece of My Heart.

Scaramouche had been awake for a while trying to sort out the Micro Transceivers that had come from her and Gazza's heads, she had been awake for a while before Galileo woke up, making her jump in the process. "The Seven Seas of Rhye!" he sat up and nearly hit his head on the inside of the van.

"Well good morning Gazza! Or perhaps I should your full name, Shagileo Gigolo!"

"I've had this dream and… Shagileo Gigolo?... You really think so?"

"Oh yes" and with that Scaramouche leaned over to kiss him but he pulled back.

"No, Scaramouche, we don't have time! The Seven Seas of Rhye, I've been dreaming about Paul McCartney and the others. I dreamt that there were cops and there were cages made of lasers and…"

"Gazza, believe me there is nothing, and I mean nothing, more boring than people wanting to describe their dreams to you"

"No but really…"

"Trust me on this, it kills relationships stone dead. The day one partner wakes up and starts saying "it was amazing, there was this rabbit in a bowler hat cooking an omelette…" that's when love dies".

"Scaramouche I'm sure of it. The Bohemians are heading across the Seven Seas of Rhye" "oh great I have to hear this for the second time this morning"

"I know"

"I think it's somewhere in the Euro precinct of Planet Mall- there's water, lots of water… what?" finally Gaz realised that Scara knew what he was talking about.

"I know all about the Seven Seas of Rhye. Actually they're not seas at all, but rivers, rivers that supply a lake. They used to call it Lake Geneva. The Spirit of Rock is very strong there. It's where they put the misfits, the rebels". Galileo was staring at Scaramouche but it seemed he had gotten the wrong idea about how she knew all this

"But this is incredible, Scaramouche! We've had the same dream! It's like we're soul-mates, split aparts, kindred spirits…"

"Gaz, I didn't have any dream, I've just reversed the polarity on one of Khashoggi's micro transceivers. I've been monitoring Police Headquarters" Gaz then moved away and started putting his shoes back on looking kind of put down

"Wow Scara, you certainly know how to make a guy feel inadequate"

"Aw bless! Let me make it up to you". She leaned across to him again but just like before, he pulled away

"No! I have to go to the Seven Seas"

"Pretty dangerous, the cops are bound to be still after us. I say we hide out here on this mattress… for a few days… and while we're here…"

"No Scara, I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I can't get no satisfaction. You don't stop till you get enough… Aaaah Ga… doo doo doo, push pineapple shake the tree". "I've said it before and I'll say it again, I got stuck with a nutter"

"pardon?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know where that last bit came from. Look, I'm going, Scaramouche, but I shall return come back and…"

"Hang on, what do you mean? There'll be cops all over the place. I should go not you" "Forget it, Scaramouche, this is my fight!"

"Excuse me? How'd you work that out?" "Because I'm the Man! Britney Spears said so" "Exactly which is why it's stupid for you to risk your life. I'm dispensable. You stay here".

"Oh yeah, like I'm really going to let my chick go fight my battles for me" that got Scaramouche's attention as she stood up in front of him "oh no you bloody well didn't" " "Let your chick!" Excuse me but at what point in this relationship did you actually take the arse-hole pill?" Gaz stood up as well,

"Oh for God's sake, Scaramouche, does everything always have to be a fight with you? I thought you said you'd mellowed out?"

"Well I guess I haven't!"

"Well you know it's really starting to irritate me" and now the sarcasm comes back.

"Oh no! My heart just broke"

"Look! You're my girlfriend and I want to protect you"

"You think just because you got you're leg over, you own me or something?".

"Oh you are such a pain with this constant female assertion thing!"

"Fine! At least we know where we stand"

"Yes we do!"

"Which is not together!"

"If you say so", Scaramouche and Galileo went to walk off but turned back and carried on arguing.

"Right! From now on our relationship is purely professional. We have a job to do and we'll do it, that's all"

"Suits me. But I'm going to the Seven Seas"

"So am I, but if when you get there you get caught, and the Dream is lost and the kids are enslaved till the end of time, well you're going to feel a bit bloody stupid, that's all" they both stormed off in different directions but then met together again in a tunnel, they had no choice but to just stay quite as they were both going to the Seven Seas of Rhye but unfortunately Scaramouche was slower. They carried on walking for what must have been about 200 miles and ended up arguing the whole time.
