LIving with Rockstars

Scene 5 - Do you regret the deal?

Scene 5: Interior, recording studio, Lavigne in the recording booth with Tristan and a piano.

Lavigne: What are we doing here? Don't you know that this is kidnapping?

Tristan: We, my dear, are here for you to make good on your side of our deal. You said not then and this is not then, so sing.

Tristan pushed her towards the piano and microphone with a big smirk on his face.

Lavigne: What do you want me to sing?

Tristan: I know that it's one of your favourites, so why not sing Billie Joel's Piano man.

Lavigne sat at the piano.

Lavigne: All right here goes nothing.

Lavigne plays piano and sings.

Lavigne looks up to see boys outside recording booth with with dropped jaws.

All boys: Wow!!!

Caleb: Lav, why arn't you signed?

Lavigne: Someone get Caleb to a doctor. I think he's sick.

Caleb: I'm fine, why would you say that?

Lavigne: You're being stupider than usual.

Max: No he's not, he's usually more stupid. I would know I'm his twin.

James: Caleb is right, wow I never thought I would say that. You have an amazing voice sis. You really should be signed and recording music.

Lavigne: Ha ha, very funny guys. Music is just a hobby. Besides no record label would want to sign me.

Mr. Vaughan: I would have to disagree with you Miss. Heart.

Caleb: Hey, Mr. Boss man. I told you Lav. I'm not that stupid, so there.

Caleb sticks out tongue at Lavigne.

Tristan: Caleb so you do agree that you are stupid.

Caleb: No, what? you twisted my words.

Caleb tackles Tristan.

Lavigne: Break it up boys. We all know Caleb isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but we love him anyway.

Caleb: Ya.

Max palms his face and shakes his head at his older twin.

Ryan: Moving on.

Mr. Vaughan: Thank you Ryan. Miss Heart if you would let me, I would like to draw up a contract, have you sign it nd start you recording right away. You have the talent that this label is looking for.

Lavigne: Are you sure you want to sign me? I mean you've only heard me sing one song. You must be taking a huge risk doing this?

James: Sis, just don't question it and agree already.

Mr. Vaughan: Miss Heart, I believe your brother is wise in what he says, but if it would dispel your worries, I will organise a rooftop concert for in three days time and and we shall ask the public what they think. Is that agreeable with you?

Lavigne: I think that's fair and I will do what the public want. If they want me to sign I will, if not then I wont. I will not waste your time Mr. Vaughan.

Mr. Vaughan: Very well Miss Heart. If you would please come up with a set list, these gentlemen will be your backing band for the show and I shall send you the rest of the details as they are finalised. Now gentlemen, lady, if you would excuse me, I have a concert to organise.

Mr. Vaughan walks out.

Lavigne: Now lets get going we have a set list to create and learn in three days.

Everyone except James and Lavigne leave.

James: I'm glad you're doing this. You really do deserve this sis. Do you remember when we were younger we would sit around with instruments and paper writing songs together?

Lavigne: How could I forget, dad would always jokingly complain, about why couldn't he have normal kids who were interested in sports or even tv, at least that wouldn't make that much noise. He loved it though.

James: Ha ha, ya the thing is sis, although I am the one in the band, even since back then you've always been the best musician in the family.

Lavigne: Thanks James and I love you.

James: I love you too Lav.

Lavigne: Oh no, Caleb's nickname is catching on.

James: Ha ha, come on squirt.

Lavigne: That's even worse.

They both walk out.

End Scene 5.
