Oakland California
In Tre's point of view


"Yes the record is released! We worked on it for a whole year and a half I think."

"It was less than that Tre, one year only." Mike looked at me as he opened the champagne and poured some for Billie. We were at the studio with Andrea, Frank, Adrienne, Jay and Jason. "You just think that 'cause of all the hours that passed by."

"Come on Mike, he's just a little kid he doesn't know how to count months," Billie said.

"What's two plus two?" I asked. I got a hold of Frank's small hands. "What is it?"

"Tre you know that he's only 6 months old," Andrea said. Mike wanted to hold Frank so Andrea handed him to him. "He doesn't even know how to say mama."

"It's never too early to teach your son how to add. That's what I did when Frankito was born."

"Man, I wish I would have remembered that your son was named that then I would have called my son, Mike JR.," Mike said. Andrea brought out a bottle of milk and gave it to Mike. He started feeding Frank.

"Hey, the more babies that get named after me, the better." Billie gave some champagne to Adrienne, Jason, and Jay. "Give me some."

"So Billie, when are we having this tour?" Jason asked.

"I think in June. That means in five months."

"How long is it gonna be?" Jay asked.

"Shorter than the last tour; about 6, 7 months."

"Well, make sure to write to us everyday," Adrienne said, "Especially you Mike."

"I know Adrienne; I don't want to miss my son's life."

"Don't worry Mike; I'll bring Frank every three weeks for a visit. And I want to make some performances too."

"Yeah, you know you are." Mike kissed her on the cheek. I got kind a sad from that so I left the studio for a little while.

In Jason's point of view

I saw Tre leave the studio while Jay, Billie, Adrienne, Andrea, and Mike were talking about the tour. I wondered for a while where he went and then I went to get him. He was outside the studio, leaning on some railing, drinking beer.

"He, so you found me."

"What's wrong Tre, don't you want to celebrate?"

"Yeah, I just needed some time to think."

"About what?"

"ABOUT..." he slammed his hands on the railing. "About why I can't have that. What Mike and Andrea have."

"What do you mean, their son?"

"No, I mean that, their happiness. Every time I get married, I get divorced. Makes me wonder if I'll ever get a girl who is that special. It just sucks to be the only single one in the group."

I just looked at him, the Tre that I have known for years was slowly falling apart. I guess he was right; his marriages had grumbled and two years ago, Mike got the girl that he wanted. Yeah he has two kids but what will his life become when they grow up and Tre's all alone? I don't even see how he stands around and smiles and jokes around.

"Well I guess we should be going." Tre finished his beer and slammed it on the floor. I think part of his soul was that bottle or came out when he got too drunk and threw up over my car.

San Francisco California
In Alexia's point of view


I sat around our rehearsal space with Jennie and Mark. Danny hadn't come yet cause of his job. I was trying to make a song while Jennie and Mark were on the roller skates, skating around me. I was using my acoustic guitar.

You make me sick to my heart
I saw your ugly face from the start
Didn't know what to say
Cause I hate you in everyway
Your smile...your smile


I got stuck on that and then Mark threw a pillow at me from the couch.

"Come on Mark, I'm writing a song," he's 21 but acts like a child.

"Yeah, Mark, you don't want the beast within her to kill you," she threw a pillow at Mark. She's 19 and acts like a 16 year old, except I don't act like that.

"Oh, come on I'm just joking. It's February. Our second CD has been out for about a month and we just have to wait for the tour we're going on." Mark sat on the couch and started eating scattered mm's from the couch.

"Speaking of that, has our manager called?" Jennie said. Her long brown hair was moving like the speed of light from her skating.

"Nah, he'll call some time this month. We're not paying him for nothing," Mark said. I started using my guitar again and then Mark said, "Why are you writing a song now."

"Look Mark a singer has some inspirations in unexpected times," I looked at my guitar and saw that I was forcing my self to write. "And I don't have any inspiration right now."

I put my guitar back in its stand and put on my skates. I started skating around the room and throwing pillows at Mark. Jennie went to pick up Danny from his job. Mark grabbed me and his face was close to mine. His black hair was covering his eyes. He touched my red hair and then he tried to kiss me, but I pushed him away.

"Why don't we date? I like you."

"Look Mark you're a great guy, but I don't want to break up the band. You know what happened with Yoko Ono." He is a great guy but Jennie liked him. "Also it's illegal."

"Yeah I guess." He let go of me and Jennie came 30 minutes later with Danny.

"Hey everybody. Sorry, I had to help a dumb customer at the Music store."

"Why do you work there if you know that we already have money?" Mark said.

"Hey my parents told me I had to; teach me responsibility."

"Well, that sucks," I said. We hanged out for a while until our manager, Johnny, called at 7:45.

"Hello, Alexia, is everyone there?"

"Yeah, let me put you on speaker phone," I did and then he told us the news.

"Well I got you a big tour with a even bigger band. I pulled a lot of strings to get this tour. Carl was hesitating about you guys but I convinced him."

"Carl, Carl, he sounds familiar," I said. Jennie was smiling a smile as big as a water melon. "Jennie what's wrong?"

"I know who we're touring with!"

"Yeah, I knew you would Jennie. You guys are opening for Green Day!" Mark and I just stood quiet but Jennie and Danny were jumping around.

"OH MY GOD! GREEN DAY YEAH!" Jennie said. Mark and I knew who Green Day were it's that we weren't as big as fans as they are.

"Cool, so when's the tour?" Mark asked.

"June and it'll last for 6-7 months."

"I guess more tutoring for you Alexia," Mark said.

"Yeah just great and I'll have to hear jumpy Tre during it." I thought of Tre Cool jumping on some couches while I would do my homework. "God, I think a dog isn't as jumpy as him."
