Ever wake up in one of those moods, when somebody instantly pisses you off? Well the lucky man today was mouse, still in the same position I'd left him in last night, or rather how I'd found him, surrounded by alcohol bottles, neither of us due at the beach until dinner I'd planned on tidying up the house in the morning, now, I can't tidy up without music, in the background...loud...music..
I ran upstairs and knocked on Flynn's door "hey! Morning can I borrow your WHOA!" I covered my eyes quickly with both hands as Flynn pulled the duvet over himself....and Jensen's girl JJ "I didn't see anything!" "It's fine...we weren't doing anything" I uncovered my eyes slowly "erm, it didn't matter if you were, I'm not here to judge you're a grown man and JJ is a grown woman and as long as Jensen is fine with it its all good and -" "mum you're rambling" "I am yes" "and you're still scrunching up your eyes" "this is also right...erm can I borrow your Mix cd?" "Yeah sure...why?" "I'm about to blast your dads morning hangover away" "oh I've got to see this!" He went to jump out of bed but realised his state of undress "I'll see you down stairs...staying for brekkie JJ?" "If that's alright?" She smiled slightly "course it is! See you down there! Oh hey I'm borrowing your speakers!"
I walked downstairs, trying my best not to process what I'd just walked in on, eventually getting to the living room, mouse still sat, I swear if I couldn't see his chest moving I'd think he was dead, so luckily he didn't hear me dragging the extremely heavy Amps in front of him across the wooden floor, it was loud enough to deafen anybody in the space of a mile of the bloody thing, I reckon I'd burst my eardrum, with everything set I pressed play on the CD player and turned the volume well up, the crackly vibration coming from the amp as the CD player warmed itself up, the first song played I grabbed a microphone and grinned at Flynn and JJ "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti! He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down" he hadn't stirred...I turned the volume up to the max and sang loudly down the microphone "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, You own it, you better never let it go, You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, This opportunity comes once in a lifetime" but still...annoyingly, nothing "next track Flynn!" He raised an eyebrow and pressed skip "All I do is win, win, win no matter what, got money on my mind I can never get enough, and every time I step up in the building, everybody hands go up, and they stay there, and they say yeah, and they stay there, Up down, up down, up down, 'Cause all I do is win, win, win, and if you goin' in put your hands in the air, make them stay there" I glared at the passed out man on the couch "try this mum" Flynn smirked as he skipped the next few tracks "this should get him up" he folded his arms and rested on the counter, the familiar tune began to play "I stop and stare at you Walking on the shore, I try to concentrate My mind wants to explore, The tropical scent of you, Takes me up above, And girl when i look at you, Oh i fall in love" he didn't stir "JJ give a hand?" I threw her a microphone as we began to sway to the music when the chorus started "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Mysterious girl, I wanna get close to you, Oh, oh, oh, oh ,oh, oh, Mysterious girl, Move your body close to mine" "FLYNN GRAB A MICROPHONE!" Mouse started to twitch when my favourite bit came on.... "Well i've been sitting by the phone hoping you'd call, When time me hear your voice I feel ten feet tall, Body weh you have a make de man dem a bawl, Man a trip over man when time your name call, Your pretty looks surround me like a flowers a bloom, And I love the smell of your Elizabeth Taylor perfume-" mouse jumped up, fell over the amp and unplugged the CD player "keep going" I nodded to the kids "Your personality alone light up de room Just one kiss alone a make me heart go boom" he then unplugged the amp...and our microphones "alright, thank you for your help brekkie is up in half an hour!" I smiled at the kids and turned to mouse, who stood there nursing his poor...poor head "why?" "You're asking me why?!" I looked at him as I took a few pans out "yeah I'm asking you why!" "Take a look at the living room Michael! Drinking like that because I have a job I love? Grow the hell up!" I threw some bacon into the pan as he stormed off upstairs and turned the shower on.
After a late brekkie, I decided for him that I'd drive us to work, he slumped into my car, still rubbing his head, "let's have the roof down shall we?" It was going down regardless of what he said. Half way into the journey I took a detour...through the woody area, where tree branches covered the roads overhead, I drove as near as damn it to the edge, every few seconds mouse got hit in the face by a tree branch "CHA-" *tree* "CHARLIE" *tree* "MOVE" *tree* "OVER!" *tree* he then pushed the wheel, and the car back to the middle of the road "happy?" "Not yet...close...but not yet" I pulled up at work and got out, mouse walked in, tree branches stuck in his hair, leaves stuck to his face and the odd bug "my god did you drag him through a hedge backwards?" Whip looked at me "something like that..." I grinned as mouse sat down. I followed whip to make everyone drinks "that mouses's?" He nodded at me "why..." I grabbed the salt and poured about...four tablespoons into the cup "my god you'll kill him" "it'll be an added bonus if I do" I stirred the tea and gave it to whip to give to mouse, I waited as I sipped my coffee, mouse took a large mouthful, spat it everywhere as he clambered for his water bottle...that I'd emptied "ITS SALTIER THEN THE SEA!" He grabbed my water bottle "I don't think so you jerk" "my mouth...is shrivelling up!" "Well that's what happens when you drink salty tea..." I raised an eyebrow as what I'd done obviously hit him "I'm going for a walk!" He grabbed his walkie talkie and stormed off.
When he came back he shut his eyes for a minute or so, long enough for me to superglue a mullet wig onto his head, but I got caught in the act...by maxi "what are you doing?" "You didn't see anything" I pointed the superglue tube towards maxi "I didn't see anything" he repeated "that's right now..pass me that magazine" maxi did and watched as I rolled it up, and swatted the back of mouses head "WHAT THE HELL CHARLIE! ENOUGH!" "Okay...now...now is Enough" I managed to keep a straight face unlike maxi, whip, Jessie and harries... "Nice mullet Billy Rae" maxi cackled "don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart" harries Sang to him "how am I supposed to go to scotland looking like this?!" He then realised what he'd said "I'm sorry...Scotland?" "I-" "when were you planning on telling me that Michael, WHEN YOU'D ACTUALLY STEP FOOT ON SCOTLAND SOIL!?" "Charlie i-" "Save it, anyway, put a kilt on, your hair will fit right in" I grabbed my car keys and walked out the tower, and drove home, plotting my revenge.
