1988, chapter 14
A few months later Sweet Children signed with Lookout! Records after a lot of messing around, they also had gigs at other places. But tonight they were at as Sweet Children called their home away from home.
"Guys that fucking rocked ass!" Billie Joe laughed as he and Blue jumped off stage
"Yeah well we are Sweet Children after all!" smiled Al
"Exactly" Mike added
"Oh My God! You guys are gonna be huge one day!"
"Hi Maria" smirked Mike
"Hey Al lets go get somethin' to drink"
"Huh? Oh - yeah cause after that im really thirsty!"
"Hi babe"
"Hey BJ, fan-fuckingtastic show - again"
"Yeah I know" and they pecked each others lips, "wanna help me put Blue away?"
"Sure" replied Maria. They entered backstage and immediately Laurence Livermore came up to Billie Joe
"Hey Billie Joe, I've been thinking the crowd really likes you guys, so you wanna release something?", Billie Joe's jaw dropped
"SERIOUSLY?"
"Yes"
"I'll - I'll get the guys! AL, MIKE... " and he ran off to find the rest of Sweet Children
"So Maria, Tre tells me you like your new neighborhood?"
"Yeah it's nice, kinda boring though... "
"Did ya just wanna get away from us then?"
"No! How is Tre?"
"The crazy little drummer is doing fine"
"What about you?"
"Great, I've found some more young bands, and Gilman is almost filling up with each show so yeah im great"
"That's great Larry"
"Larry, get your ass over here!" called someone from the other side of the room
"I'll be back in a sec, tell Billie Joe i'm over here"
"Sure thing," Maria smiled and he walked off. Maria sat on a chair and looked around at the countless bands talking, tuning and warming up for their shows, until someone broke her out of her daydream, this someone was covering her eyes
"Guess who?"
"Umm the Queen of England? No... the President? No... im gonna go with TRE!"
"How did ya know?"
"Your voice gives it away"
"That Sweet Children band rocked didn't they?"
"Yeah Bill, Mike and Al really are talented" , Tre put on a mock hurt face
"And I'm not talented?"
"Yes, and you play the shit outta the drums!"
"That's what I wanted to hear! Wanna get a drink?"
"Nah, i'm waiting for BJ to come back, i'm looking after Blue for him"
"Who's Blue?"
"BJ's guitar"
"Oh... you guys have become pretty close huh?"
Maria remembered how outta touch her and Tre have been.
"I'm kinda going out with him now"
"That's cool... " Tre drifted off.
"Maria, where's Larry?"
"BJ, he's over there with the Corrupted Morrals"
"Thanks babe"
"I call her that," mumbled Tre, under his breath.
"Guys that fucking rocked ass!" Billie Joe laughed as he and Blue jumped off stage
