The next morning, Fang decided to be adventurous and try the new hot plate that Gazzy got from his mom. It was the best tasting coffee he had had in five years.
When they actually had money.
Gazzy came in. "Hey, Fang."
"Power's back on." Fang said, not looking up.
"Merry Christmas." Gazzy said sarcastically back in reaction.
"Right."
He looked over to the window. Seeing something, he walked over.
A note.
From Ari.
Christmas Brunch at 11. Just us?
"What is that?" Gazzy said, walking over to investigate.
"Ari." Fang said.
"Ari...that sound familiar...Oh! The dancer at the Wolves' Howl Club?"
He nodded.
"You ARE gonna go, right?" Gazzy asked.
Fang shook his head. "Nah."
"Oh, come on!"
"Not interested."
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, BITCHES!"
Max barged in, bucket in hand, keys in mouth.
"Max!" Gazzy ran over to give hiss old friend a hug.
"Your keys." Max said, pitting the keys out onto the floor.
"Yeah, 14 hours later- what the hell happened! Are you OK"
He hugged her. "OWOWOWOWOW! I mean-never felt better. Here.."
Fang looked over. "Oh, hi." He waved.
"'OH, HI'!" Max mocked, bearhugging him. "After seven months!"
"Sorry." Fang mumbled.
"You knwo what? This boy could use.." She grabbed a bottle out of the bucket.
"Some STOLIIIII!"
"You struck GOLD at MIT." Fang exclaimed, pouring himself a shot.
"..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Gazzy asked.
"They expelled me for my theory of acutal reality. I did, however, get a teaching job at NYU."
"OH, so that's how you afford to splurge on us?" Fang asked, smirking.
Max smiled back. "Nope. Sit down."
Song: Today 4 U
Max quickly put everything back in the bucket, slididng it out of the way
"Gentlemen, Our Benefactor
On This Christmas Day
Whose Charity Is Only Matched By Talent,
I Must Say A New Member Of The Alphabet City
Avant-Garde..."
She pulled open the door.
"Angel,
Dumott,
Schunard!"
Iggy walked in, Santa Claus drag,wad of money in all.
"Today for you! Tomorrow for ME!"
He handed out one hand of twentys to Fang, another to Gazzy.
"Today for you! Tomorrow for me!"
"And you should hear her beat." Max chimed in, Iggy taking a pair of drumsticks.
"You earned this on the STREET?" Fang asked, staring at the money.
Iggy began his story.
"It Was My Lucky Day Today, On Avenue A,
When A Lady In A Limousine Drove My Way,
She Said, 'Dahling-Be A Dear - Haven't Slept In A Year '
I Need Your Help To Make My Neighbor's Yappy Dog Disappear."
Iggy grabbed Fang's cup of coffee, and sipped on while telling his story.
"'This Akita-Evita - Just Won't Shut Up
I Believe If You Play Non-Stop That Pup
Will Breathe Its Very Last High-Strung Breath
I'm Certain That Cur Will Bark Itself To Death.'
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me.
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me"
Iggy tossed the cup to Max, and continued.
"We Agreed On A Fee - A Thousand Dollar Guarentee,
Tax-Free - And A Bonus If I Trim Her Tree."
Iggy crossed his sticks, and pretended to cut Fang's hair, which got a laugh from the other three.
"Now Who Could Foretell That It Would
Go So Well
For, Sure As I Am Here That Dog Is Now In
Doggy Hell"
Iggy climbed upon the table
"After An Hour - Evita - In All Her Glory On The Window Ledge Of That 23RD Story
Like Thelma & Louise Did When They Got
The Blues-"
Iggy tumbled off of the chair and into Gazzy's lap.
"Swan Dove Into The Courtyard Of The Gracie Mews"
"Today For You - Tomorrow For Me
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me"
Iggy broke down, and started to breakdance.
Holy crap, this kid could work it.
He got to his feet, then started walking toawrds Max.
"Then Back on The Street Where I Met
My Sweet
Where He Was Moaning And Groaning On
The Cold Concrete"
"The Nurse Took Him Home For Some",
Iggy licked one of the sticks, placing the tip on his groin area.
"Mercurochrome."
"And I Dressed His Wounds And Got Him Back On His Feet"
"Sing It
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me I SAY!"
Today For You - Tomorrow For Me
Today For You, Tomorrow..."
Iggy jumped on the table again, ready for the beg finish.
"FOR ME!"
Meh, no effort in this one, but I'm just sloppy today. Betterness for chapter 5, which has one of my favorite songs in it.
