Epilogue 5

A few weeks later, Mitch, Avi and Scott were on their way to an event they would perform at in Anaheim. 

"Oh I love hometown shows" Mitch said as Scott steered the car onto the highway. "We get to have all the fun, but still are able to go back home and sleep in our own beds..."

"I get that..." Avi replied. 

Scott chuckled. "Me too... people are always shocked when I tell them that I don't like hotels that much. I'm rather at home in my comfort zone with my favourite people..."

"But then again... those people usually are on vacay when they're in hotels, so for them it's something special while it is our job. And you must not forget that most people don't have a huge ass custom made bed which is perfect for their back issues, Mr Squiggly-Line."

To that, Scott simply rolled his eyes. "You know how much I hate that nickname."

"Yes..." Mitch giggled. "But you love me, so...." 

"Touché." 

"By the way, how excited are you for today?" Avi changed the topic. "I mean this is the first time you perform twice at the same event."

"I am" Mitch replied immediately. "It will be interesting to see how people react to the different styles. I feel like quite a few people who listen to PTX don't know about Superfruit so yeah, it will be fun."

"I'm a little nervous, actually" Scott confessed. "I mean it's only a very short set with Superfruit and it's our favourite songs but then we have to switch from funsies and dancey music to being super accurate and in perfect pitch..."

"Yeah as if you're never perfect" Mitch said. "Don't worry your pretty head too much, Scotty, you'll do fine." 

"Thanks, Dear" Scott replied. 

"Also, the amount of harmonies and everything you have in your music is insane" Avi added. "So don't worry, Scott. The worst thing that might happen is you forgetting lyrics and everyone finds it adorable when it happens..."

"True" Mitch agreed. 

"Also, I am very excited to see you perform again. It's been a while" Avi spoke up. 

"Thank you..." Mitch said. "By the way... is there anything coming up for you? It's been way too long since we saw you in concert. And during tour there were a lot of people asking for you. Some of them wanted us to do the next tour together..."

"Us? As in Superfruit and Avriel and the Sequoias?" Avi asked. "That's such a clash of styles, honestly... would it work?" 

"Well, we should ask people, but I think that it might actually work. I mean, there are a lot of people who like your music and ours and would love to see us together. We could each prepare a set and do a few songs together?" Scott mused. "And that way we would be able to spend a lot of time together. I would hate for us to tour apart from one another."

"Mmmhm... we should ask the managers and everything, but I doubt that it will happen this year, Scott and I we'll probably put out something new in spring and then we'll go on tour early summer, at least that's kind of the plan. And PTX summer tour will be later in the summer..." Mitch said. "But it's a lot of time until then."

"It is" Avi said. "But if it's possible, we should do it." 

The three men fell silent again and spent the rest of the drive with music and idle talk. When they arrived at the arena, they were greeted by Esther, who had her clipboard in hand. "Hi, how are you?"

They exchanged hugs and kisses before they went into the backstage area. "So... dressing rooms are here, Superfruit to your left and two for PTX on the left, Kirstie is in the first one and Kevin in the second. Scott, Mitch, your soundcheck is in thirty, with PTX following immediately. And showtime will be 6.15 for Superfruit and 8.30 for PTX" she explained. "I'll come and knock when we need to go, but I need to run and get some things done."
