"Hey hun, how's the tour going?" Jude smiled into her cell.

"We've been really busy, but its been really great. I'm really sorry about not emailing you in a while. Our tour bus got a little lost going through Minnesota and I'm beginning to think that state doesn't get internet connection. At least not where we were traveling." Jude laughed, loving the sound of his voice.

"I was beginning to worry that you forgot about me what with all the gorgeous groupies who are probably attracted to you guys."

"Yeah, there are tons of hot girls." Jude scoffed into the phone.

"Vincent Spiederman,"

"Easy, I wasn't finished! Yeah there are tons of girls but none of them even compare to you, gorgeous. I'm really missing you. I wish that you could have come." Jude smiled, brushing away a stray tear.

"I miss you too. I have to go, classes await me." They said there good byes and Jude shut her phone, placing it back in her shoulder bag.

A couple minutes later, Jude entered the radio station, ready for her show. She glanced around, looking to see if Mason had shown up yet. She headed over to the control room to drop her stuff into a chair.

"Hey, you're here on time I see!" Jude turned to see Tom standing in the doorway. She smiled.

"Yeah, for once in my life. I'm just waiting on Mason." Tom nodded.

"Anyways, since you're here, I might as well tell you." Jude's ears perked up, intrigued she leaned towards him.

"Tell me what?" She asked.

"Well, I was thinking about doing maybe a marathon before everyone heads home for winter break. I haven't mentioned it to anyone on the executive board yet. We're suppose to have a meeting on it tomorrow morning." Jude nodded.

"As station manager though can't you just tell the executives to do it." Tom shrugged.

"Yeah, but you know the students on the board like to feel important so I pretend that they have a say in what goes on around here. What's your opinion?"

"It actually sounds like a good plan."

"That's what I thought." Mason walked into the room, a little out of breath.

"Sorry I'm late, Jude." Jude raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well, I'll just let you guys get to your show." Tom waved and waked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Mason switched the switch next to the door so that the big "on air" sign above the door lit up. He looked out through the window pane on the door to watch Tom walk away.

"Isn't he just the finest man to ever walk on this planet?" Jude laughed.

"Wow, I actually think this is the first time I've heard you sound gay. Besides, Tom doesn't swing that way." Mason turned towards Jude, his eyebrows raised in interest.

"Tom?" Jude looked at her friend and co-host.

"Yeah, that's his first name." Mason nodded, condescendingly.

"Yeah, but since when are you and Professor Hotness on a first name basis?"

"We should probably start." Jude changed the subject, sitting down behind the board. She turned towards the computer and switched the system from auto to manual. She turned both of their mikes on as the song that had been playing faded out.

"Good afternoon! It's Jude Harrison here with Mason Fox on Whatever Thursdays!" Jude spoke into the mike.

"Remember we play whatever you want," Mason spoke his usual line.

"We tell you about whatever's going on that you need to know about!"

"Basically just, whatever!" They said together.

"Up next we have a personal favorite of mine, London's Calling by the Clash!" Jude announced.

"Don't forget to call in with your requests! The number is 332-0670!" Mason announced as well. Jude hit play on the song and switched the computer back into auto. She turned their mikes back and they leaned back in their chairs.

"You want to answer my question now?" Mason fixed her with a look. Jude rolled her eyes.

"It's not what you think, Mason. He's a friend." Mason just shook his head.

"Don't forget, he's also your teacher. Isn't it unethical to have a relationship with your teacher?"

"It's not a relationship, it's a friendship. Besides we have to see him like all the time here at radio. I just figured it would make things less awkward." Jude turned back to the computer and finished putting songs in. Mason just shook his head.

"Yeah, by awkward you mean for me." He muttered to himself.
