Everyone was in the conference room. They were just sort of staring into space. Suddenly a song came on Ace's iPod that all the teens, save Jackie, seemed to know. Eminems RAIN MAN.
When this was over, they all started laughing. Who doesn't like Eminem? Well, Micheal Jackson most likely doesn't. Or Jessica Simpson. Or Hilary Duff. Or Jo-Jo. Or the Olsen twins. Or his ex…(I had the lyrics, but then I didn't want to make this rated M)
So maybe a lot of people don't like him, but these kids did. The Doctors were just looking at them like they were crazy.
"What the hell was that," House asked when the were done with their rap.
"Eminem," they all said.
"Okay, no, that was weird," said Foreman.
"So you like rap? Do you have Usher," Jackie asked.
"Usher doesn't rap! He is a freakin' ghetto wannabe," Ace answered.
"What the hell was that," Chase asked.
"Now I know House just asked that," Kristen said.
"That was Eminem," Justin said. Who hasn't heard of Eminem? "The name of the song was Rain Man. It is one of the best on the CD."
"It was weird," said Cameron.
"Well I prefer Greenday, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and such, but what good is iPod if you don't put some really weird stuff on it?"
"Ummm…."
"You have Greenday," Wolf asked.
"Of course!"
But then the Numa Numa song came on, and they all had to sing again.
"Your music is ear wrenching."
"I must disagree," Justin said.
"It wasn't even in English," Cameron said.
"Now you being prejudice," Ace said with a grin. Explain what music she listened two would be like… Well, she didn't have a reason.
"Oh, listen to the next song," Kristen said. She had now memorized Ace' s iPod.
Whoooa whooooa
Whoooa whooooa
(Venga Boys are back in town)
Whoooa whooooa
Whoooa whooooa
Whoooa whooooa
Whoooa whooooa

Suddenly all the teens began to sing, even Jackie.
Boom, boom, boom, boom

Let's spend the night together

Boom, boom, boom, boom

"Okay, that just hit the all time weird," Wolf said. "More Greenday, less crap."
"What's the difference," House asked.
"Oh no you di-int," said Ace and Wolf at the same time, trying pull off ghetto accents.
"Greenday rocks," Justin said.
"They are horrible," Foreman said.
"Sucking up is the Aussie's job," Ace said, "And Greenday is amazing."
"There music is annoying," Jackie said.
"Jackie, you've only heard their newest CD," Justin said.
"So?"
"It sucked," Ace, Justin, Wolf, Chase, and Cameron all said at the same time. Then they all looked at Cameron.
"You listen to Greenday?" This was every single person in the room.
"Um… yea…" she said sheepishly.
"Cool, what's your favorite song?"
"No, you will laugh."
"Come on, tell us."
"No… Okay well…" She took a deep breath, "Basket Case."
And all the fans laughed.
"Sure it's not Geek Stink Breath," Ace asked. Cameron just glared.
"I don't get it," Foreman said looking at the group. Ace played the song. The First verse was all that was needed to make the room, including Cameron, burst in to hysterics.
Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or I'm just stoned
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or I'm just stoned
"Wow, Cameron. That was…" Foreman couldn't find the right words.
"Not you," House supplied.
"What makes you think you know everything about me?" She was leaning back in her chair.
"I know we have all told you this many time before, Cameron. You reek of goodness. Which the Aussie seems to be into. Enough to get you…" House stopped when Ace, Cameron, and Chase glared at him.
"Right… It's a secret."
"What's a secret? Please tell me! I'll tell you a secret if you tell me yours."
"Okay, if you are going to give up a secret to learn a new one, what makes us think you wouldn't do that to my secret," Cameron said looking at Jackie.
"Ummm…"
"You know Jackie," Ace said, "Three men can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."
"I don't get it. Like I do, but I don't agree."
Then another Greenday song came on.
On A Mission
I Made My Decision
To Lead A Path Of Self Destruction
A Slow Progression
Killing My Complexion
And It's Rotting Out My Teeth
I'm On A Roll
No Self Control
I'm Blowing Off Steam With Methamphetamine
Well Don't Know What I Want
And That's All That I've Got
And I'm Picking Scabs Off My Face
Every Hour My Blood Is Turning Sour
And My Pulse Is Beating Out Of Time
I Found A Treasure
Filled With Sick Pleasure
And It Sits On A Thin White Line
I'm On A Roll
No Self Control
I'm Blowing Off Steam With Methamphetamine
Well Don't Know What I Want
And That's All That I've Got
And I'm Picking Scabs Off My Face
I'm On A Mission
I Got No Decision
Like A Cripple Running The Rat Race
Wish In One Hand Shit In The Other
And See Which One Gets Filled First
I'm On A Roll
No Self Control
Blowing Off Steam With Methamphetamine
Well Don't Know What I Want
And That's All That I've Got
And I'm Picking Scabs Off My Face
Geek….. Stink….. Breath…..
"That was Cameron's song."
They all laughed at all the songs on Ace's iPod. (Except for Cameron who pouted during Geek Stink Breath) She seemed to have every kind of music on it. It's a good thing they were having fun. They would have nothing except stress for the next few weeks.
