Bonnie had woken up to the sound of the Clash theme song the next morning. She had nearly forgotten were she was, until she heard Taylor and Zac arguing.
"No way Zac, the best one is where Tylynne cast a 'spell' on the frog she was dissecting," said Taylor.
"My favorite was where Tylynne egged the principals car, then frames that Melissa snob with it!" yelled Isaac from inside the bathroom.
"Yeah, but I like the one where Ann Marie tried out for the cheerleading squad, that was classic," said Zac.
"Oh yeah, when she couldn't get out of that split, that was so funny!" laughed Taylor.
"I didn't think it was, considering I really did get stuck after the director yelled 'cut'," said Bonnie. The two boys snapped their heads up.
"I'm sorry, did we wake you up? Are you hungry?" asked Zac.
"How'd you sleep? Is your knee okay? Do you need the bathroom? We can kick Isaac out if you do," said Taylor.
"No guys, you didn't wake me up, I'm not that hungry, I slept fine, my knee is fine, and I don't need the bathroom that bad so don't bother kicking Isaac out," she managed to say in one breath.
"Are you sure?" asked Zac.
"Guys look, you don't need to wait on me hand and foot, I'm fine," she said. She glanced around the room. "Where's Tre?"
"On the balcony," said Zac.
"Why is she out there?" Isaac asked as he came out of the bathroom.
"Probably getting away from y--, er..uh, getting fresh air," said Bonnie while rubbing her eyes.
"Hey, what's in her hand?" asked Isaac. Bonnie looked out the window.
"What?" she asked. "I can't see anything."
"It's there, in her right hand," said Isaac.
"Hellooo!! Did you not hear me?" she yelled. "I said I can't see anything."
"Oh my god you can't see anything?" asked Zac.
"Uh...no."
"OHMYGOD!!!" yelled Taylor. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"Tell you what?!" she asked, getting nervous.
"You're blind! We need to get you to a hospital!" Taylor grabbed Bonnie's head and peered into her eyes trying to see what was wrong.
"Uh..Taylor? OW!! Tay leave me alone! I wear--"
"A cigerette!" inturrupted Isaac.
"Um...no, actually contacts work better," she said while pushing Taylor off of her.
"No, a cigerette!"
"What?" Isaac stomped out of the room and out onto the balcony.
"Tracylynn what is in your hand?!" he demanded to know.
"Um...ok, number one? Why the hell are you calling me by my whole name? And number two, it's a lighter," she answered slowly.
"No. Your other hand. Your right hand."
"A cigarette." Isaac gave Tre such a wide-eyed look of innocence that she had to laugh. "See, what they do is they take tobacco, and they roll it up in these little paper thingies, and then they add a filter and you light it and suck it into your lungs."
"But why?" he whined. Tre sucked in a last breath of smoke and flipped the butt from the balcony. She placed her arms around his neck, and Isaac, unsure, placed his on her waist.
"Because I wan't to." She blew the smoke out in rings and Isaac coughed as the smoke went in his face. "Buh-bye." Tre walked back into the hotel room and flopped onto Bonnie. "Whatcha doin'?"
"Trying to stand up Tre. Get off of me!!" yelled Bonnie.
"Gee! Love me much? Okay, I going in the bathroom now." Tre got up and grabbed her jeans and headed into the bathroom. Upon entering she soon closed the door quietly and ran as fast as she could towards Bonnie.
"Tre? TRE! Stop!" Tre grabbed Bonnie's arm and practically yanked her to the balcony. "OWW! Tre what is the big deal??!"
"Ta...Taylor!" she yelled while laughing.
"What?" Tre was laughing too hard for Bonnie to understand.
"Taylor!!"
"What about him? Let go of my arm!" she yelled at her.
"He is definatly a guy. Hands down, no DOUBT! Ahhhhh! It's still emblazoned in my mind!!!!"
"Tre......?" Bonnie said slowly, trying to stay calm.
"He was in the bathroom..."
"Oh no!!.....Tre, you didn't!"
"GYMNASTICS!!"
****Authors' note: Gymnastics is our code word for...um....well, a certain male appendage. Think about it! What part of a guy do you notice the most when they wear those spandex gym uniforms?!****
"Ahhhhhhh!" The two girls fell to the ground laughing uncontrollebly.
"Our little Taylee is growing up!" Tre gasped out. "Definatly grown up!"
"Huh?" asked Taylor (now fully clothed) looking down at the girls, who immediatly stopped laughing.
"Hello Taylor," said Tre in her deepest possible voice. Bonnie couldn't take it and collasped with Tre, laughing again.
"Ok guys, we're outta here," said Tre as she placed her and Bonnie's bags into the back of the jeep, then climbing in herself. "Taylor," she said,"what's wrong? I can tell you want to ask something."
"Well..."
"Well what?"
"Ask," said Bonnie.
"Well...I was wondering..."
"Spit it out Taylor!" yelled Bonnie.
"Can I have your autographs?"
"Oh dear! Well, I guess we might as well trade," said Tre as she instructed Bonnie to get one of their group glossies as Zac ran to get theirs.
***Authors' note: in case you didn't know, most star people carry professional glossy pics (if they're fan friendly) for autographing***
After they had traded autographs they were set to go, onl one problem was standing in their way. The jeep wouldn't start.
"Ah shit, the battery must be dead," Tre muttered.
"Crap. Now Leonard really WILL kill us," said Bonnie.
"We can try to jump it," said Isaac eagerly.
"Don't even bother, this thing's been jumped more times than Pamela Anderson. I'd call Triple A, but I'm not a member," she replied.
"I can take you down to Pep Boys or Checkers then," he suggested.
"I refuse to go anywhere where the word 'Pep' is part of the name. Let's go to Checkers," she stated as she hopped out of the Jeep.
"Hey, what about the rest of us?" Taylor asked.
"Well, there's really no point in all of us going," said Isaac. "Unless you really wanna go that is."
"I wanna go," said Zac. "I don't feel like hangin around here."
"I guess I'll stay, I don't really see the point in me going," said Bonnie as she carefully slid off her seat and grabbed her crutches.
"Well she can't stay here alone," said Taylor," so I'll stay with her."
"Okay," said Tre."We'll be back. And don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Which is basically nothing," muttered Bonnie.
"Bite me dumbass," said Tre as she, Isaac, and Zac jumped into Jason's car (Isaac had the spare keys) and drove off.
Taylor and Bonnie went back to the room, this time taking the elevator, which had been fixed earlier that morning. After finding nothing on TV except for the news and a Clash marathon, Bonnie found herself completely bored. Taylor had finally managed to somewhat control his small infactuation with her, and was busy trying a new song on his keyboard.
"Hey Tay, this is a weird request, but I'm too bored to care right now," she said as she moved closer to him. "Could you teach me how to play 'I Will Come to You'?"
"Taylor looked up, his eyes bright, obviously happy. "Sure, I'd be honored to. I didn't know you played."
"For a while now. Almost as long as you, if not longer. Haven't you seen me play on the show?"
"Yeah, but you couldn't tell that you really were playing though, so I figured it was dubbed and you weren't."
"Oh well, doesn't matter. Anyways..are you gonna teach me?"
"Oh, yeah..right," he stumbled. "Okay, you start with the chord F, D flat, A flat..."
"So," started Isaac,"um...you still in school, or tutor?"
"Um, I was in high school but now I kind of have a tutor. She works with us between sets and stuff. Regular show rules deal." Zac peered his face between the seats from the back.
"How'd you and Bonnie meet? Rumor is you beat her up," he said.
"Beat her up? When!?"
"That's the word on the net. That you two met at school and you got mad at her.."
"For stealing your man," Isaac interjected.
"Yeah, and then you kicked her ass."
"Um..NO. Number 1, he was NOT my man. And number 2, I never fought her. We met her freshman year and did, yes, get in a fight over a guy, but it went too far and neither of us really knew how to stop it. Eventually I stopped caring and she apologized. Once she did, I did too."
"How did Clash come about?" asked Isaac.
"Well, Bonnie and I are completely different, ya know?"
Isaac nodded as he noted Tre's way of dress that morning. She was wearing a pair of jeans that had 30 inch with legs that frayed at the bottom, and a black shirt with a largh athame (ceremonial knife) emblazoned on the front, blade dripping with blood. From her pocket dangled a long chain going from the front pocket to the back. She had 3 holes in one ear, and 4 in the other (3 regs, and 1 cartilage) with a set of devils, snakes, and diamonds. She had a bleach"ish" blond hair color and green eyes. She also had a tendency to speak her mind, complete with profanity. Bonnie, on the other hand, was wearing denim shorts, and a with tank top that said "got clothes?". She had longish brown hair that had faint red streaks, and Sketcher shoes, where as Tre had docs. Bonnie's ears were also pierced, but she hardly wore earrings. If she ever did, she'd be wearing large silver hoops. Bonnie always had something on her mind, but she never said it as much as Tre, or with as much cussing either.
***Authors' note: we couldn't figure out how to put descriptions in here, so deal with it***
"So anyway, our differences often make for some funny moments. I wrote the first episode actually."
"The frog one?" asked Zac. "That's Tay's fave."
"Cool. Yeah, I wrote that as an sketch for an open stage thing at Candies theater. And wouldn't you know, there was a scout there and well, here we are."
"Cool," said Isaac. The three continued talking until they got to Checkers.
"I'll go get the battery, ok? You can stay out here." Isaac and Zac agreed and stayed outside while Tre went into the store.
"This is really sad," said Isaac sitting on the hood of Jason's Honda.
"What is?" asked Zac.
"I think I have a crush on Tre."
"You do?!"
"Yeah, I think so."
"Well why's that sad?" Zac didn't understand. He though crusheds were supposed to be good.
"'Cause I'll never have a chance with her."
"How do you know?" Zac asked as Tre came out with the battery. "Hey, it could happen."
"What could happen?" asked Tre as Isaac started the car.
"Oh nothing. Just...nothing."
"Oh. Okay...hey, does Jason smoke?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Tre brought out a ciggarette and lit up.
"Um Tre?" asked Isaac.
"What."
"Does that hurt?"
"Hurt?! No. Why?"
"Just curious."
"You wanna try?"
"Sort of." Tre handed Isaac the ciggarette and he brought it to his lips. Isaac, being a "newie" immediatly started to choke and cough. Tre took the smoke back, took one last drag, and flipped the butt out of the car.
"You'll learn," she said.
"Hey, that was like, still new," said Zac looking back at the street the butt was now on.
"What do you care?" she asked. "Did you want to try?"
"No, but I thought those were like, important."
"Zac I am not addicted. I'm not dependent on them."
"Oh."
"I know what you mean though. I think people who NEED smokes are pathetic."
That was the end of the conversation for Isaac pulled the car back to the parking space at the hotel. The three hopped out of the car to get the "bug" to work.
"Argh!! Taylor can't you slow it down a bit or something?" argued Bonnie. "I'm just learning this, don't expect me to play it up to tempo yet!"
"Well, I don't see how you don't get it, this is so easy," he argued back.
"Yeah, easy for you! You wrote it, and you play it five times a week."
"Well if you could get the fingering right, maybe you'd be able to play it faster."
"I don't follow fingering," she stated," I play however it feels comfortable."
"Well it works better if you use the correct fingering."
"AHHHHH! Taylor do we have to fight over something so damn stupid?" Bonnie screamed, wanting the fighting to stop. They were both silent for about a minute. Taylor suddenly began to laugh.
"This is really stupid," he said. "I give up, I'll slow the tempo down some."
"Oh no," she said with a shake of the head," I give up too. I'll just go buy the sheet music as Sam Goody. At least then I can see the notes."
"Whatever. So, what do you wanna do?"
"I like this, just playing the keyboard."
A sudden thought popped into Taylor's head. 'Oh my God, I was teaching her 'I Will Come to You" on MY keyboard. Wow, I might never use this keyboard in concert again! That is so cool, she's playing MY keyboard. Oh man, Fur Elise never sounded so good. This is now my lucky keyboard, I don't think anything could top this moment.....wow!'
"Taylor...Taylor.....TAYLOR!" Bonnie yelled as she shook his shoulder.
"Huh? What? Huh?" he asked as he snapped out of his trance.
"You got this really freaky spaced out look on your face," she said. "It was really weird. And I asked you a question."
"Oh, sorry. What?"
"I asked if you wanted to keep playing or if you wanted to do something else."
"Oh, I don't really care. Whatever you want to do," he replied.
"Taylor, if I cared I wouldn't have asked you."
"Ok guys. This is it, we are really leaving this time," said Tre, slamming down the hood.
"Do you think we could trade addresses or anything?" asked Taylor helping Bonnie into the jeep. They again traded papers, and finally the girls drove off into the high noon.....
