Sorry it's taken longer than normal to get another chapter up. Lot of stuff been going on as well as work. - I'm never going to be one with a nice slow easy life!
Oh I wish I'd known what I was getting myself into when I asked the question "What song reminds you of each person in the team?" Think about it. Seven team members. Six people thinking of songs for each of them. That's (does a quick bit of mental math) forty-two songs! And I have a limited range of music to chose from! So if any of you have songs that remind you of any of the team do let me know!
Enjoy.
When Sam returned with her notebook she turned to page two.
"It's divided into sections with our names at the top of each one."
Abby smacked a hand to her head as a memory came back. "Please say it's not what I think it is, Matt." He motioned for her to continue. "I remember something about… Mean Girls? You admitted you watched it… something about chick flick films… and then we decided to write our own Burn Book?"
"Aah that's not Page Two! But regards to that, Emily said it was too mean and Becker was already insulting everyone so we decided to write a.. umm… what did you call it Sam? A… Cool Page?"
Sam put her head in her elbows. "I didn't."
"You did. You need to learn when to stop drinking."
"ME? - Sorry that was a bit loud. "
"Only for the drunkards here."
"You're never going to stop teasing us are you?"
Matt shook his head.
"Shall I read this or shall we do questions? I want to know why Becker had a black eye."
For the second time that break Matt started to laugh.
"Either I'm still drunk or someone got lucky with Emily last night." Sam glowered at the elder man as his laughter cut though her head. Jess, Connor and Abby, despite their massive hangovers, laughed at her comment before complaining again about the noise levels.
Matt looked unimpressed. "I'll ask a quick question. Do you remember anything about last night?"
The team looked at each other- at least they think they did. It was hard to tell with Jess's glasses and Becker's black eye.
"I remember a fair amount. But it's hazy- I… I started singing didn't I?" Matt didn't answer but smirked. Sam- gently- slapped a hand over her face. "Oh no!"
"I can only remember snippets, I think it'll come back with prompting. Connor was sick, I know that much."
"That was you!" Abby shook her head. "Oh." Connor grimaced. "Sorry... Umm I don't remember anything. At all. Just feeling scared. Very, very scared. Umm… why was I?"
"I don't want to remember any of yesterday." Becker was still in a short mood. "But I suppose that's why I agreed to go out last night. Jess what about you?"
There was no reply.
"You have to tell us."
"Shhh already! I don't remember anything at all."
"Would you please put us out of our misery, Matt?" Sam begged as she got up to retrieve the mug Becker was holding up. She set to work making him a second cup of tea, accepting that fact she had just followed his un-worded request like a good servant girl.
"We did songs that reminds us of each person in the team."
"Oh," Sam looked over her shoulder. "That must've been…. Interesting."
"Okay, so the first name is Becker. His says: Avril Lavigne, Girlfriend. With the lyrics: Hey, hey, You, you, I don't like your girlfriend. No way, no way. Think you need a new one. Hey, hey, You, you, I could be your girlfriend.
"I wonder who did that one?"
Sam half jokingly asked as she glanced around the team. Abby and Connor snorted, trying not to laugh. Connor with his- normally sub par- balancing skills impaired with drink, fell of the sofa and started to yell at it for moving.
"And under that is…" Sam frowned as she tried to read the handwriting. "My god we have bad penmanship when we're drunk! Umm… It says… Mulan?" She looked to Matt for confirmation. He nodded. "Okay, Mulan: I'll Make A Man Out Of You." Sam frowned as she started to read the words after, the pace at which she spoke slowed and took a questioning tone. "Every time I see that part of the film I think of Becker. I mean, Shang without a shirt is almost as fit as him! Beckerlishous!"
Please bear in mind that the song each person chooses will be affected by the fact these people are drunk!
Let me know what you think! And I reallllllly need more songs- also, I'm thinking of writing up the entire evening for you all to enjoy uninterrupted. Thoughts?
Thank you!
