Still R and R to me chap one
Chap One
If Brenda and Eddy where Reploids
22XX Hardscrabble on the border of South West province of Neo Arcadia
He was sitting in the yard of an old Victorian style house in the shade of a tree. He looked no older that 19. He strummed an intro on his guitar and stared to sing
"Bottle of white bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
our
old familiar place
You and I - face to face
A bottle of
red, a bottle of white
It all depends on your appetite
I'll
meet you any time you want
In our Italian restaurant.
Things
are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
Got
a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
We lost touch
long ago
You got a new upgrade i did not know
You could ever
look so good after so much time.
I remember those days hanging
out at the village green
dash boots, charged busters and tight
blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the song about New
Orleans
Cold beer, hot fights
My sweet romantic hunter
nights
Iris and Zero were the popular steadies
And the king
and the queen of the throng
Riding around with the car top down
and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit
at the Reploid diner
We never knew we could want more than that
out of life
Surely Iris and Zero would always know how to
survive.
Iris and Zero were still going steady in being of
MX4
we didn't know we would have a repeat of what happed before
that
when it really got hazy
"iris you know a hunter's life is
just too crazy
Zero could never have time to live that kind of
life."
But there we were wavin' Iris and Zero goodbye.
Sky
Lagoon came down with a defining sound
and Replaforce was blamed
in the fear
sigma's charge got them all barded
from a dream
they had held for a couple of years
our couple started to fight
when the tension got tight
And they just didn't count on the
tears.
it was a fight were no one was right
But it's always
the same in the end
the Hunters took on Replaforce matter of
course
and Iris was killed in the fray
Then the king held his
queen with a questioning screen
But you can never go back
again.
Iris and Zero had had it already by the end of MX4
From
the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of his
lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best he could
do was pick up the pieces
We always knew Zero would find a way to
get by
That's all I heard about Iris and Zero
Can't tell you
more than i told you already
And here we are wavin' Iris and Zero
goodbye.
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
whatever kind
of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
in our
Italian restaurant."
As he finished his green eyes closed and a young voice made him jump.
"What happened to him Rocker?"
Two little brown haired girls with big blue eyes had joined him unnoticed during the course of the song.
"Angie, Joy your home early." said rocker, "I was just about to come get you."
"Miss B walked us home. What happened?" the youngest Angie asked again.
"Well girls", said rocker looking at the little 4 year old, "Zero stayed with the hunters for a few more rebellions and then vanished with out a trace. But that was like a 100 years before your time pumpkin." He ruffled the small girl's hair.
"So it's based on real people?" said Joy sitting on rocker's lap.
"Real Reploids actually Iris Zero Colonel Sigma all of them did exist. You're still too young to know of them really and you won't learn about it in school till you much older. So did you like the song I call it scenes from a Reploid restaurant." Said Rocker sounding rather proud of him self.
"It's sad" said Joy
"Well not all songs are happy. When you're a teen I bet you'll drive your grandfather crazy with songs about how terrible life is." quipped Rocker.
"You think he's still out there", asked Angie.
"Yeah I think that he's in a beach somewhere far away learning how to hula and enjoying margaritas."
"You're the silliest reploid ever Rocker", said Joy
"What you want me to say he's lying in a capsule somewhere waiting for someone to wake him up. That is such an over used concept. Now let's get in side the house it looks like it's going to rain. I'll make chicken pram for lunch." The little girls squealed with delight and dashed up to the porch
Rocker got up and shouldered his guitar slowly walking he muttered so that no one could hear," Still I wonder were did he go and if he's still in this world were the reploid race is facing its end."
"Are you sure it's him?" asked a male voice.
"Has to be this place matches the data exactly" answered another voice this one female
"What if we wake it up and it springs on us did you ever hear of..." said the guy but she cut him off
"Really, not the "Red Maverick" story. That old wife's tail dates back over 100 years. I can't believe your one to think it's more than some story to scare children". She snapped
"Well he's red and sleeping and we're in some kind of underground thing I think we should let Sleeping Repliods lye."
"Don't be still we came this far and there's only one way to find out."
"Fine what ever we're going to die here any way that sounds like they've found us"
Sorry for keeping you waiting it's hard for me to get on the computer let alone type something up. What do you think of the song? I would really hope you like it an like it or not there will be more music in the future.
