I'm glad you guys liked it. I had fun writing it.
"I feel my hands don't work, touching your skin in the dark, I was put here to watch, not meant to get caught up in. Close to your skin," Speed read. Jude let him read the song that she wrote.
"That's really good, dude," Wally said. The four of them were sitting on the couch in their apartment. Jude finally let her mother know that she was moving out, and in one day, the guys moved all of her things to their apartment.
"Hey have you guys seen Jimmy?" Patsy asked, walking in.
"He's got something with Liam today, why?" Jude asked.
"Nothing. I'm just looking for him, that's all," Patsy said, leaving.
"Patsy has it bad," Kyle said.
"I know. And for Jamie?" Wally asked.
"I do recall a certain lady having it bad for him once," Speed joked.
"Not funny guys. Come on, we have to work. We've made no progress since the day they talked to us," Jude said.
"Yeah, Dude's right. And they need this song ready to record by when?" Wally asked.
"End of next week," Jude said.
"Who played the piano the first time?" Speed asked.
"I think it was Patsy," Jude said.
"Call her," Kyle said. Jude dialed 9 and waited for Patsy to answer.
"You put her on speed-dial?" Speed asked.
"Shh," Jude said.
"Hey. You remember that night, where we got really drunk and snuck into G-Major? Do you remember that song I sang?" Jude asked.
"How could I forget? There was so much raw emotion in that song," Patsy said.
"Were you on piano?" Jude asked.
"I can't play piano worth a shit. That was all you, don't you remember?" Patsy asked.
"I was so out of it. Okay, thanks. And if I talk to Jamie, I'll tell him to call you," Jude said.
"Thanks," Patsy said, hanging up.
"So, I can play the piano," Jude said.
"Since when?" Speed asked.
"I don't remember. And people just don't magically learn how to play the piano," Jude said.
"Well, I know how to play," Speed said.
"What?" Kyle, Wally, and Jude asked.
"Yeah. I had to learn it. So, I could probably come up with a tune or something for you to sing to," Speed said.
"Or we can get you really drunk tonight and record the rest of the song," Kyle said.
"Well, let's hear what we have so far, and see if Speed can emulate the sound," Jude said.
After a couple of hours, Speed was able to sound exactly like the CD.
"I made a choice, try to make myself invisible, make sure I can fit it cause I'm sick of feeling miserable. Hidden by small lies, sacrifice my friendly ties, started from scratch, won't attack if he comes my way. Hear what he has to say," Jude sang, with Speed harmonizing in the background.
"That sounded even better than the CD," Wally said.
"You know the part at the end, where you sing, 'I feel my heart doesn't fit, cause it beats too many times and it skips, running races in my head and then'? Well I was thinking that I can just learn those notes, and play them, make up some other stuff for it. And put it all together," Speed said.
"I have no clue what you're talking about. Just play and I'll sing," Jude said.
Speed played a few notes and Jude nodded, telling him to go on. She began to sing along with his playing.
"Up and down, on this merry-go-round, take me up, put me back in one piece but let me feel you. Well here I am, landing myself again; ready to fake it on a win. But let me break him in. let me break him in," Jude sang
"Okay, and then it's the transition, to what I'm gonna say is the chorus," Speed said.
"Yeah. I think we've got this," Jude said.
"Yes! No let's play some extreme Frisbee!" Wally yelled.
"So dude can kick your ass again?" Kyle asked, throwing a fry at Wally.
"She did not kick my ass!" Wally exclaimed, throwing the fry back at Kyle.
"I so did," Jude said.
"Red tackled you so hard you were seeing stars," Kyle said.
"It's not my fault she plays like a man," Wally said.
"Don't call her a man," Speed said, throwing the nearest thing at Wally. It happened to be a nugget, smothered in barbeque sauce.
"Man, it's gonna stain!" Wally said.
"Take it back," Speed said.
"Take it back or else," Jude said, grabbing her milk shake.
"You wouldn't dare," Wally said.
"I wouldn't?" she said, taking off the lid.
"I think she would," Kyle said.
"Take it back," Jude said.
"Alright. Dude, you do not play like a man. You play like an animal," Wally said. Jude gasped and threw her milkshake on him.
"Ah it's cold!" Wally exclaimed. He threw his soda at Jude but most of it wound up hitting Kyle.
"What did I do to you guys?" Kyle asked, squirting his ketchup onto Wally.
"Wait! Guys! Not on the instruments!" Speed yelled. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Speed. There was something different about him, and they all knew.
Jude looked at Wally, who looked at Kyle, and they nodded, and threw their food at Speed.
"Oh, it's on," Speed said, running into the kitchen. The others followed him, throwing food along the way.
Speed went into the cabinet and grabbed the chocolate syrup and began to squirt it on whoever was near him. Jude squealed and grabbed the bottle of ketchup and squirted it on him. He began to run and he ran right into Wally who sprayed him in the face with whipped cream.
Jude smiled at her victory, only to feel something cold hit her back. She rubbed it and saw it was mustard. Kyle laughed and ran away.
They weren't sure how it ended, but a few hours later, they were all lying in a circle, covered in condiments and food. The kitchen was disgusting and was covered in water.
"Who's bright idea was it to use the sink hose?" Jude asked.
"Mine. I couldn't find anything to squirt at you guys," Wally said.
"Nice. I don't know about you guys, but I really don't want to get up," Jude said.
"Same," the three guys said at once.
"It's quiet, they're probably not home," they heard someone say outside the door.
"Good. I've missed you," another voice said.
The door opened and they saw Patsy and Jamie walk in.
"What the hell happened in here? What's all over you guys?" Jamie asked.
"We had an accident," Speed said, laughing.
"Is this, wait never mind, I don't even wanna know," Jamie said.
"What brings you two here?" Jude asked.
"We came to see if you guys were here," Jamie said.
"Really?" Speed asked.
"Yeah. And you are, so we're leaving," Pasty said.
"Use protection!" Wally yelled, making the four of them laugh. Patsy actually blushed as they walked out.
"They're so obvious," Jude said.
"Mmhm, not like us," Speed said, pecking her on the cheek.
"Gross," Wally said.
"Yeah," Kyle said.
"Why?" Jude asked.
"I'm pretty sure you just tasted a mixture of ketchup, mustard, syrup, chocolate, and whipped cream," Wally said.
"I don't care," Speed said, kissing her again.
Yay fun! Okay next chapter is when they get to business. Lol. Mk R&R!
