Thrasher's Story:

Surprise Reunion

Written by Starchild Potter

Johnny "Thrasher" Williams...The only member of The Theatrics that wore facepaint. The theme of his band was all Hollywood oriented. He was dressed as The Crow. His bandmates are their bass player David "Thrum" Olson, and Alex "Zinger" Bradford their rhythm guitarist, and Alex "Slammer" Wilson their drummer. They were taking five after a rhearsal.

The Theatrics had a slow start on the main stream but they were suddenly getting known due to the time when they opened the show for The Misfits. John had gotten a good look at them. He thought they were cool, especially Roxy. She cracked him up. Jetta however, there was something familiar about her.

Thrasher was staring down at the picture of Jetta he had bought before the show ended.

"You and that picture, Thrasher," said Thrum.

"What?" asked Thrasher.

"You been staring at it for the past few minutes" said Zinger

Thrasher shrugged.

"So what's the deal?" asked Slammer.

Thrasher sighed.

"Well," said Thrasher, "Remember how I told I was always the dark horse and I ran away from home because my father grounded me from going to the Homecoming Dance?"

They nodded.

"Well, I havent seen them since then," said Thrasher, "I dont even know if they're still alive."

"Go on," said Thrum.

"Well, I had an older sister named Sheila," said Thrasher, "And Jetta reminds me of her. She seems familiar and now I am wondering."

"And now you are wondering if it's her?" asked Zinger.

"Well...Yeah," said Thrasher.

"Well bro," said Slammer, "Why dont you go find out?"

"How the hell do you approach someone with a possibility like that?" asked Thrasher.

"For starters, stop and say hi," said Thrum, "Get her number or something. and ask what her real name is. If its her, then you you just a reunion."

"You really think so?" asked Thrasher.

"What have you got to lose?" asked Zinger.

"Nothing I guess," said Thrasher.

"Then go for it," said Slammer, "Get your answers. If she isnt your sister, at least you'll know."

"Ok," said Thrasher.

He looked at the back of the pic which doubled as a business card and picked up the nearby pay phone. He dropped a quarter in and twisted the turn dial. It rung and someone picked.

"Hello, is this Jetta?," said Thrasher, "Oh blast, I'm sorry, hi Roxy. Is Jetta there."

Roxy spoke.

"Sure, I'll be right here," he said, "Thank you."

He waited a few seconds and the Jetta picked up the phone.

"Hi, Jetta?," said Thrasher, "Yes this is Thrasher from The Theatrics."

She spoke again.

"Um...yeah, we're thrilled to open for you guys again," he said, "I own every album The Misfits and The Holograms made. I even The Stingers' albums."

Jetta spoke again.

"Uh yeah," he said, "The reason why I'm calling is well...could we meet somewhere maybe get some coffee or something? I got a question that's been nagging at me and I figured, best if we meet up and I ask you."

She spoke again.

"Yeah, noon is fine," he said, "Ok I will see you then..Later."

He hung up and looked at his bandmates.

"This is it," he said, "The moment of truth."...
