Bogus Man

It was a normal afternoon at Royal Woods High School, Luna Loud went a music classroom to wait for her bandmate Sam to practice their rock and roll session after school.

Luna waited for more than 15 minutes for Sam to arrive, but she never shown up,

"Dang, what's taking Sam so long?" Luna said to herself, getting worried she decides to text to Sam with her phone,

"Hey Sam, I've been waiting 15 minutes for you, are gonna be in music class and practice our ses dude?", then at least a minute has passed she finally got a text from Sam to which she said:

"Sorry Luna, I'm just heading home because I've suddenly come off with a cold, I've been coughing all afternoon. I can't make it for our session. SRY."

"Ah bogus man." Luna once again said herself disappointed,

"I guess I'll go walk home through town. Losing my groove..." then she took her guitar, her gear and her music notes with her, in the middle of town she went found a vending machine a bit thirsty, she took out quarters to get ice tea, she continues to walk home and finishing her ice tea and throw the bottle to the recycling bin, unbeknownst to Luna, just ahead somebody just got out of the coffee shop until suddenly...

BUMP!

"Aow! My butt man!" Luna cried out as she falls flat on her butt to the ground,

"Dang my foot. The coffee!" notice the guy's foot was stepped on but not injured though, then realized flew the coffee above him and he was able to catch it. Oh by the way, that guy is actually me.

"Phew, close on." I said to myself,

"Oh no my notes." Luna cries out as found that some of her notes flew around above her because it was a bit windy,

"Dude, help me!" Luna called, so I offered to help Luna retrieve the rest of the notes which took less than a minute and finally gave her notes back,

"Thanks dude." Luna said feeling relieved,

"No probs and I apologize for bumping ya." I said,

"No no, I'm the one who's sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going, I was just so down in the dumps." she explained,

"What's wrong?" I asked,

"I was waiting for my bandmate for our rock session after school, but she got sick and couldn't make it and I was on my home." Luna explained,

"Sorry to hear." I said, then I ask,

"Are you a musician?"

"Yep, I'm a guitar player." she answered, then I have an idea,

"Say, do you know where the area is? Me and my group were just came into town and we looked for the arena." I said,

"Oh yeah I know where it is." Luna smiled,

"Joseph! Come on, we still need to find the arena and please hurry up the coffee!" a red head woman called out,

"I got em' honey, this girl knows where the arena is!" I called,

"Can she show us where it is?" she called again,

"Hold on!" I called out once again, then I turned back to Luna,

"Would you be interested in coming with us and show us the arena?" I asked,

"Can I really?" she asked as she smiles gleefully,

"If you want to..." I said,

"Yes dude! YES!" Luna squeals,

"She'll show us where it is!" I called,

"Come on sweetie!" she called out and went back inside the big bus,

"By the way dude, who's this red head chick?" Luna asked,

"That's my hot wife, Sarah." I answered,

"Oooh. And I like to know is, what brings you two here at Royal Woods?" Luna asks once again,

"Because we're starting our American tour for the whole summer and Royal Woods is our first stop." I explained, Luna looked perplexed,

"American tour? Are you guys bands?" she asked,

"Well more likely, we're tribute performers. We're Prince of Pop & The P.Y.T. Girls. We're performing a Bad Tour Tribute to Michael Jackson." I explained as I shown her the huge personalized tour bus, then she heard me say the name of Michael Jackson,

"Michael Jackson? The King of Pop Michael Jackson!?"

"Yep."

"Ah! I used to listen to his albums. But I mainly listen to Mick Swagger." Luna said gleefully, then we went inside the bus,

"Ooh. Rad." Luna was amused about the inside of the bus,

"Girls, this is...I'm sorry I didn't catch your name." I said,

"I'm sorry dude. Hi, I'm Luna Loud."

"Hi Luna, can you show us the arena?" Sarah asked,

"Sure."

So as she gave us the directions, I introduced her to the rest of the P.Y.T. Girls, Aki Fusato, Paula Simmons, Jenna Ryder, Erica Zuzic, Monica and Terri Viscom, Tiffany Lee Wensink, Su Yung Xhang, Neewa Estevez, Danica Cummings, Stacy Lepage and Bruce Patterson. 5 minutes later, Luna finally spotted the area to our left.

"There it is dude, the Royal Woods Arena." Luna said, so we turned to the area and there are a few people waiting for us,

"Daddy!" a small girl gleefully bounces around as we stopped, then as we got out of the bus, she jumped into my arms,

"Hi baby doll." I said as she hugged me,

"Mommy." a small boy rushed over to Sarah,

"Hi my boy." she hugs him as her chest squishes his face,

"Mommy, I can't breathe..." the boy whined,

"Sorry baby." Sarah said,

"Are these you kids?" Luna asked,

"Yes, that's Hinata our daughter and our son Cameron." Sarah answered, then a woman with a baby went over to see us, yet very shy,

"Thanks for watching after the kids waiting for us Jeanette." I said,

"It's the least I can do...Is Tiffany Lee and Bruce coming?" Jeanette asked, I was about to answer until Bruce and Tiffany Lee came out,

"How is my baby boy, did you worry we took to long?" Tiffany Lee asked in baby talk, but the baby was smiling,

"Hey Silas my little champ." Bruce came and pats his son's little head, then he turns to Jeanette,

"Are the equipment inside the arena?" he asked,

"Yes, they're just setting them up there already." she answered,

"Well let's go inside and see how it turns out." Aki said, until she realized something,

"Uh Jeanette, where's Michael?" she asked,

"He's inside watching over the equipment." Jeanette answered,

"But he's fine."

"Okay."

"Michael is Aki's son, same age as Hinata." I said to Luna,

"Ooo. Where's his pop star?" she asked,

"Pop star?"

"That's how I always call my dad." she answered,

"Oh. Well he doesn't actually have a dad. I'm more of a father figure to him." I said,

"But how come he doesn't have a father? It's so sad." Luna asked with a sad face,

"Well it's hard to explain, but we thought it's not to talk about it. It's not that domestic problem or anything like that, it's more of a complicated thing." I explained the best way,

"Well we better go inside and prepare for the rehearsal." I said as I was about to leave Luna, but turned and ask her,

"Say would you like to stick around and join our rehearsal with us Luna?"

"Ah! Are you kidding dude? I love to!" Luna said excited as she makes a rocking gesture and sticks out her tongue,

"Well let's go then." I said as I turned to head inside the arena,

"Hold on dude, gotta text my sis to know where I am." Luna said as she text messaging her sister,

"Lori, I won't be home til tonight, I'm at the Royal Woods Arena and I was asked to join Prince of Pop & P.Y.T. Girls for a rehearsal. I explain the deets when I come home. Please let everybody know and that I will come home tonight. Thanx. Rock on!"

Then Luna puts her phone back to her pocket and went inside the arena.
