Reunion

Reprise

The first thing I did was call our old record label. Reprise records. I'll admit it, I was scared. It had been years since they had been our label and I didn't even know if the same people were working there now.

I looked up the number on the internet. And reluctantly but with enthusiasm called. "Hello?" I heard a familiar voice answer. It was he same receptionist Cheryl.
"Hey Cheryl, its Mikey! God it's been so long." "Mikey? Wow I never thought I'd hear you on this line ever again. What can I do for you?"

"By any chance are our old manager and producer still working for you guys?" I said practically on the edge of my seat.
"Sorry hon, they don't. Would like me to get you in contact with some other managers and producers here?" I was shocked.

I probably shouldn't have been I mean it had been years. But I was losing hope. A new crew would mean getting them to believe in us like they had. But I had to try. "Um, sure. That'll be fine." I said.

"Ok Mikey, hold on." The line was then transferred and a different voice sounded on the other end,
"This is Jonathan Richie producer at Reprise records. What do you need?" I nervously mustered up the courage to speak and say, "Hello, this is Mikey Way the bassist of My Chemical Romance-"

I was then cut off by Jonathan saying,
"You mean that dead emo band that no one remembers?"
"Umm, I wouldn't say we're not remembered. We were really big." I stammered.
"Yeah whatever, anyways what do you want?" Jonathan said.

"Well this is a lot to ask, but I'm thinking about getting My Chemical Romance back together and was wondering if you guys wanted to still have us signed." I said shyly.
"Wow I didn't expect that. Well for one, you guys would have to prove to us you are still worthy of the Reprise name, meaning we need to see you perform. And second of all, do you really think you guys have much of a fan base?" He said.

I was in shock at this. Hell yeah we still had fans. 'Killjoys never die' I said to the man.
"Ok well if that's what you think, we can set up a date where you guys come into the studio and play for us so we can see if we still want you. Now no guarantees just because you're a previously owned group. We are still picky. Just call the offices again to set up the date and tell them it was Jonathan's idea. And they will know what to do. Ok? Well I'm very busy I must go. Goodbye."

And that ended our conversation. This wasn't gonna be easy, but I was gonna do it. I would reunite us all and made sure we sounded good enough to be taken back.
