Adeline was already enjoying the time with her boyfriend and they hadn't even left the gas station yet. They parted from their long wanted kiss

"Hey" he said

"Hey…." she replied smiling

"How have you been, baby?"

"A…little out of place, but I really like it here…." she saw the look on his face, "but….that doesn't mean that I don't miss having you around everyday…" she gave a smile and he returned it. They kissed again and parted

"C'mon let's go to the club…"

"Ok…" she gave a smile thinking about how much fun they were going to have. He got on the bike and so did she hugging his midsection. He smiled; and took off towards the club revving his engine like a bad ass biker….

-----

The monkey team followed them once again to the center of town where they parked in a local parking lot and headed across the street to a club that had a long line, blaring music, and a sign that said the Blue Monkey.

Everyone was laughing at the club name except for Antauri but Sprx was laughing way too much, "Hey look…they named a club after Brain Boy!" He was cracking up at the thought of a bunch of Gibson fan girls creating this club after him

Gibson was defensive, "I'm almost positive this club is not named after me!" Just then three girls walked by with cartoon Gibson heads on their shirts walking towards the club talking about the entertainment and food cost. They obviously were the owners and managers. Now the team was cracking up with Sprx and Gibson sighed and cleared his throat, "Yes….well let's get back at the task at hand.."

At that statement they looked over to see Adeline walking straight to the bodyguard

"She'll never get past him…he's was too tough" Sprx said hopefully and almost determined; he didn't want her to go inside with that boy. However Sprx was deeply disappointed when the bodyguard smiled at the sight of Adeline and let her right in; she disappeared with the boy into the club. "Damn! Now what do we do?"

"Maybe we can sneak past them…" Otto said thinking

Nova was still looking; the three fan girls were standing outside, "I have an idea…come on Gibson…." At that she grabbed his arm

"What!" he exclaimed as she dragged him across the street with the monkey team behind them. They saw that before Nova even got across the street; the three girls looked up and were giggling nonstop…

"Ask them if we can go in…." she whispered in his ear

"What? Are you mad?" He whispered back as they got closer.

"If these girls are your fans then they should let us in if you ask…now do it!" she said pushing him forward and standing there

The girls were still giggling; Gibson looked embarrassed and looked back at Nova who pointed toward the girls. He gulped and cleared his throat, "Hello…ladies" he was interrupted by the giggling and he gave a forced smile as they died down, "I…was…wondering if my team and I could….enter your…dancing facility..." he said

The monkey team was a little embarrassed for Gibson…, who calls a club a dancing facility, but luckily for Gibson the girls actually started screaming and he stepped back in not only shock but fear as one of the girls reached down and grabbed him, hugging the crud out of him.

Gibson attempted in getting away but the girls just continued to hold on tight screaming, "Yes!" over and over again. Every one except for Gibson and Antauri were laughing their heads off; this was better than the time thingy covered him in slobber and scared the crud out of him after he got turned back from his mutant form. He was still struggling, "A little help please!"

"Ok…ok…ladies" Chiro said still laughing a little

"Aw…" they said dropping Gibson…he landed on his butt and rose up fast running over to the team breathing heavy

"Thank you for allowing us to enter your club…" Antauri said hurriedly wanting to get inside quickly to his daughter

The girls all giggled, 'Anything for Gibson…." they smiled, "Horace, let the monkey team in they are always welcome here…." they turned back staring at Gibson giggling some more as they walked by….

They entered the club to see a giant room with hundreds of people in it; there was a blue and white checkered floor, a giant disco ball with thousands of lights making a shimmer effect all over the room, there was a bar to the right, a stage straight forward with a DJ towards the back of it, and to the left was a staircase which lead up to a patio type runway around the top of the room with couches and bed type furniture.

Looking around, the monkeys didn't see anything, but Chiro did. He pointed over to the bar, "There she is!" The monkey's looked over to see Adeline sitting at the bar with a yellow-orange drink and the boy right next to her with a glass of what looked like beer.

Antauri and the rest of the monkeys were infuriated they knew that her drink wasn't Tang….and Sprx had had enough drinks to know it was a Fuzzy Navel….As they stood there they were quiet…Chiro had no idea what they were so mad about...she was only drinking a drink and sitting, talking to the boy….what was the big deal….

"What are they talking about!" Otto asked looking down the bar

"Let's find out" Gibson said, "follow me" he walked over to the edge of the bar and opened his ear into a small satellite dish and hooked a cord into it then to a small speaker type instrument that he had on his scanner that he carries with him everywhere. They immediately got a signal…and started listening in on their conversation…

"What?" she asked

"Nothing….."

"Now hold on….I know that face…" she paused, "Your hiding something…"

"No I'm not…." he gave a fake smile trying to hide a laugh

"I knew it you are hiding something!" she said pointing at him

"Ok…yeah I am…but it's a surprise…" he sais pulling her into a backwards hug

"Chris…what are you hiding….."

"You'll see…."

At that moment the entertainment manager walked up onto the stage and tapped the microphone….."Excuse me…ahem" the club got quiet.., "A young man has requested that we allow his lovely young lady to perform onstage tonight in a solo so please welcome to the stage…Adeline Lamang…" The club broke out in applause and everyone looked around for her

Adeline had been drinking a drink, but she spit it out at the announcement of her name and choked, "Chris! What the hell!"

He laughed; "C'mon…if people on our planet get to enjoy your angelic voice then people on this planet do too..." he gave her a smile and helped her up

She was giving a smile to the audience but said through gritted teeth, "You know you're in so much trouble right?"

"Sure do…now go…" he said giving her a shove, "Now…you'll need this" he handed her, her favorite guitar.

"You brought my guitar!"

"Sure did…you left it at my house…so I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to bring it…" he gave a smile, "Now go!"

Adeline got up on the stage and plugging her guitar into the amp and then heading up to the mike as Chris walked back to the DJ to give him background music to Adeline's favorite song. Chris moved to the bottom of the stage next to the DJ and watched Adeline clear her throat and look around smiling holding her guitar.

------

The monkey team stood by and watched as Adeline got on the stage and stood as the DJ readied some music

"She sings?" Chiro asked

"I don't recall her ever telling us anything about a career in vocal performance…" said Gibson wondering

Nova was trying to listen but the boys were being to loud, "Shhhh…listen!"

The music started playing and she played her guitar with grace (for listening aid listen to "The first cut is the deepest" by Sheryl Crow but with more of an Alison Krauss voice)

"I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and he's taken just all that I have
but if you want I'll try to love again
baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

the first cut is the deepest
baby I know
the first cut is the deepest
but when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst..."

She paused and played a little more, "She sings beautifully…" Gibson said giving a small smile

"Yes she does, but listen to the words…listen to what she's saying…." Nova said with a look on her face. They indeed did listen

"I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
and I'm sure gonna give you a try
if you want I'll try to love again, (try)
baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

OOHHH,
the first cut is the deepest
baby I know
the first cut is the deepest
but when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
but when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
but I'm sure gonna give you a try
cuz if you want I'll try to love again
(try to love again, try to love again)
baby, I'll try to love again but i know, OOHHH...

the first cut is the deepest
baby I know
the first cut is the deepest
when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst"

She broke out in a guitar solo and the team was free to talk, "I don't get it….what is she talking about?" Otto asked.

They all thought for a moment and no one knew how to answer but Antauri knew how to respond by saying a simple, "I'm not sure…."

"the first cut is the deepest
baby i know
the first cut is the deepest
when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
baby i know (baby i know)
the first cut is the deepest
try to love again..."

She finished and everyone in the club clapped and cheered but the monkey team stayed silent watching Adeline as the boy came up and hugged her.

They were still listening to their conversation and the monkey teams just stood by and listened…pondering the meaning of the words to her song
