Why are There No Clouds in the Sky?, chapter 1
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'M TRYING TO WRITE FUCKING SONGS HERE TO PAY FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL!" ; Billie Joe screamed at Mike.
Mike scoffed, "Maybe if you would quit humming to yourself like it's keeping you alive, we could play music a little bit softer!" ;
Tre, being a moron as usual, started playing with the light switch. "And the electricity bill goes uuuuup..." ; he said as he turned the lights brighter. Then he started to dim the lights. "And the electricity bill goes dooooown." ;
"Shut up, Tre," ; Billie Joe said, giving a glare to his bandmate.
"Whoa, chill BJ," ; Tre said, taken aback. "Seriously, dudes and dudettes, we need to chill if we want this album done. All we need is like one more song!" ;
"That's why I need everyone to shut the fuck up!" ; Billie shot back.
"Well, then why don't write a song about how much you hate us? Or how much you love the word fuck?" ; Mike said, staring at Billie. "You seem to have a real passion for those two topics." ;
Tre giggled. "Yeah, a fuck song," ; he said, and then started singing. "Fuck fuck fuuuuck. I love the word fuck. I love TO fuuuuck and I love fucking people uuuup." ;
"SHUT UP TRE!" ; Billie and Mike screamed at the joking drummer at the same time.
Billie then threw down his notebook and pen. "You know what? You know what? I'm done. You all can continue without me for the rest of the day. Until tomorrow, goodbye." ; He then marched out of the room.
As Billie slammed the door to the studio, Mike and Tre looked at each other. "What's up with you guys?" ; Tre asked.
"Billie is being a shithead," ; Mike responded.
Tre threw his arms to his hips, "Now why on earth would our Billie be a shithead? We love Billie! Why, just yesterday when Billie wrote that new song you were the head cheerleader in the 'I heart Billie' fan club! You were all, 'Yay, Billie! I love you Billie! I want to make dirty love to you Billie on top of our old CD's as Tre sprinkles fairy dust over our naked bodies! '";
Mike stared blankly at Tre.
"Well, you were." ;
"Whatever," ; Mike said. "I couldn't care less about him right now. He isn't caring about any of us, and making it 10 times harder to make a new album." ;
"No, we all are," ; Tre said. "We all- well actually mostly you two- are screaming at each other like girls at a fucking N*Sync concert fighting for the front row. You aren't getting anything done!" ;
"Okay, can we be serious for like one second, Tre, 'kay?" ; Mike said, annoyed. "I'm trying to get things done here and you are making these stupid analogies having to do with teenage girls and Billie and I getting it on. Please, be serious." ;
Tre stared at Mike, "I am being serious." ;
The sad part is, he was.
"Whatever." ;
"Well, I'm sor-ree Michael Pritchard if I'm the only one who is not only willing to get something done, but can," ; Tre stated. "Not only do I have drum tabs for like 10 songs, 4 of which I did today, I have written two. Okay?" ;
"Sorry, Tre," ; Mike told his friend. "It's just that Billie is really getting on my last nerve right now. And Warning didn't do too hot, not saying I didn't love it, I did, really. It's just that this new Shenanigans album isn't our best stuff, and that International Superhits tour really sent me off the edge. I could barely be on the same stage with Bill, let alone the same cramped tour bus." ;
"Well, it'll be okay," ; Tre said. "Billie is probably just having a rough day. You know, we can release this Shenanigans thing, whatever it is, and start on something new. Maybe it'll be good. Who knows? Let's just see where it takes us." ;
Mike nodded, "It'lll all work out; you're right. As quirky as you are, you always tend to be right." ;
Tre smiled, "Yup. And another thing I'm sure about is that these songs we are making, they'll be good. They'll be great actually. I'm almost 100% positive." ;
Go figure that the fact he wasn't completely 100% positive would come into play pretty quickly.
Mike scoffed, "Maybe if you would quit humming to yourself like it's keeping you alive, we could play music a little bit softer!" ;
Tre, being a moron as usual, started playing with the light switch. "And the electricity bill goes uuuuup..." ; he said as he turned the lights brighter. Then he started to dim the lights. "And the electricity bill goes dooooown." ;
