CHAPTER 5: GRAND TOUR

It was a relatively early morning down in the city area of Sparkyville,around 8:00 at the very least to be more specific as a black limo slowly pulled up to the stairs that led to Melendez's Music Studio before none other than Charlie Brown and Freida stepped on out,for the latter had decided to go on ahead and take a tour of the studio,and given the fact that she also had a small suitcase with her indicated that she was intending to stay at the studio for a few days like Randy had offered. Even though she was set on staying home in Sparkyville at the moment,she still wanted to at least see the studio and go ahead with the offer to stay for a bit just in case she did decide that she wanted to take the job.

"Thanks for the ride Snoopy,don't go chasing rabbits without me seeing." politely thanked Freida for the lift as she scratched behind the beagle's ear which made his right paw start tapping on the car floor violently like a rabbit's before she and Charlie Brown proceeded to make their way up to the studio's front doors,which quickly resulted in the round headed boy supportingly stating "I hope you have a good time here sweetie,if you want to come back anytime you're more than welcome to." to which the curly haired girl smiled and reassured "I will babe,but I think I'll be just fine."

"I hope so,this is a whole new gig for you and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable or pressured by it all." shrugged Charlie Brown with a slightly bashful look on his face while he and his girlfriend were reaching the top of the stairs that led to the studio to which Freida kissed him on the cheek before she swooned in response "How thoughtful of you." only for their flirting to be cut off when they noticed what appeared to be Randy sitting on a bench by the front doors,he was smoking a cigarette and posting some memes on his Twitter account via his phone.

"Hey Randy." called out Freida out of nowhere as Randy lifted his head up with a raised eyebrow to see her and the round headed kid from the other day walking towards him to which he smiled and politely greeted the couple while he emptied his cigarette into his ashcan "Oh hey there Freida,nice to see you this morning. Are you here for the tour?" which resulted in the curly haired girl nodding her head and cheerfully confirming "Yep,and I've also decided to stay for a few days like you offered at the school,if that's alright at the moment of course."

"Oh absolutely Mrs Rich,you're more than welcome to stay as long as you want." replied Randy in a respectful and polite tone of voice as he stood up and straightened out his slightly wrinkled suit before he turned towards the boy Freida was with and curiously wondered "And who might you be sir?" only for the boy to smile and promptly introduce himself while they shook hands "It's Charles,but everyone just calls me Charlie Brown. Freida's my girlfriend." to which Randy smirked and asked as he started to unlock the front doors with his keys "Nice to meet you Charlie Brown. Are you planning on staying with Freida then?"

"Oh no,I just came to see her off before I headed home,I would have been heading off to school but we actually have the next few days off since it's a planning day for the teachers. I just wish we knew that before this morning." explained Charlie Brown in a slightly caught off guard voice to which Randy lightly chuckled and enthusiastically lamented "Y'all are lucky then,I'm mostly homeschooled on my computer and don't really get days off." which resulted in the three of them sharing a light laugh before the teenager took a deep breath and wondered "So Freida,you ready to start?"

"Mmm-hmm." answered Freida with a nod of her head before she turned towards her boyfriend and bid him farewell while they embraced "See you in a few days sweetie,I hope you won't miss me too much." to which Charlie Brown chuckled and reassured in response "Don't worry about me babe,I'll be fine,go on and have fun over here." which was followed by Freida letting go and proceeding to follow Randy inside the studio,but not before she turned around and waved goodbye at her boyfriend,a gesture which he quickly returned before the front doors closed.

Once Charlie Brown finally made it back to the limo and got inside,he clasped his hands together and told his dog in determination as they began to drive off "Do you know what this means Snoopy? While Freida is staying at the studio and getting a look at the place,I can start planning her birthday party and go all out with the preparations. She's gonna be in for the surprise party of her life." which was followed by the beagle smiling and giving his owner a thumbs up,because whether Freida was gonna take the job or not,she was at least gonna be in for one heck of a party courtesy of Charlie Brown.
