Ashley Kenyon sits in a bar, a drink on the table in front of her and a cover band cranking out hair band hits of the 1980’s playing behind her. Sitting next to her, a drink in front of each of them, her friend, the raven-haired Asia Argento lookalike, Alissa Lacroix, and Alissa’s girlfriend, the red-haired dead ringer for Shelley McManis, Kelly Taylor, glance back at the and and nod their heads slightly to the beat.
Kelly Taylor: I wish I could play like that.
Alissa pulls her eyes away from the band to stare at her lover in shock. The two had been playing together in a band called the Fallen Angels for the better part of two years now and Kelly still worried the others in the band looked down on her drumming.
Alissa Lacroix: Kels!
Ashley shakes her head.
Ashley Kenyon: They’re not bad but they’re not you guys. Y’all have a chemistry they just don’t seem to have. The fact that you’re all hot chicks probably doesn’t hurt when it comes to the audience reactions either.
Kelly looks away blushing while Alissa shrugs knowingly as if she’s heard that one a million times before.
Alissa Lacroix: I know I catch myself staring at the drummer quite often…
Ashley smirks.
Ashley Kenyon: Well, damn, I’d hope so considering…!
Alissa nods as Kelly manages to look back.
Kelly Taylor: I kinda have a thing for the bassist…
Alissa’s eyes flash as she leans over and kisses Kelly passionately. Ashley looks away, scanning the crowd to see who, if any, are looking at them.
Ashley Kenyon: I’d tell y’all to get a room but ya have a whole house up the street so…
Alissa and Kelly part their lips and shrug.
Alissa Lacroix: Li and Z usually have the same problem.
Ashley chuckles.
Ashley Kenyon: I can imagine, looking like you guys do…
She sits back, and nods knowingly.
Ashley Kenyon: If I had a partner that looked like that...
Kelly frowns at her.
Kelly Taylor: Don’t you have a partner of sorts?
Alissa nods, eager to hear the good stuff here.
Alissa Lacroix: Where did you find that guy?
Frowning, Ashley sets down her drink as she fights to hear over the din of the band and all the other patrons’ reactions to the music.
Ashley Kenyon: Who?
Alissa and kelly both just stare at her, eager grins at the ready.
Alissa Lacroix: That tall drink of water you’ve had trailin’ you lately.
The frown deepens as Ashley nods vaguely towards the door.
Ashley Kenyon: You mean, Cro?
The two Angels nod slightly knowing the dirt was coming now.
Alissa Lacroix: Shot for?
Ashley grins.
Ashley Kenyon: Cronos.
Kelly’s eyes glitter at the sound of this.
Kelly Taylor: Is that his name?
Ashley nods, this was gonna be fun.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, it is.
Kelly’s jaw drops slightly.
Kelly Taylor: For real?
Unable to stop herself, Ashley snickers, her amusement shining through.
Ashley Kenyon: Yes, suits him, don’t ya think?
Both Kelly and Alissa nod, they had to admit it.
Kelly Taylor: Yeah…
Alissa grins wickedly.
Alissa Lacroix: You fuckin’ him?
Ashley just stares across the table.
Ashley Kenyon: Are you really asking me that?
Alissa shrugs as if it’s a natural question.
Alissa Lacroix: Does he party?
Ashley pauses to think about it before she answers.
Ashley Kenyon: He drinks some, but, doesn’t every guy that looks like that?
Kelly chuckles.
Kelly Taylor: He done time or anything?
Ashley just shoots her a look.
Ashley Kenyon: How many places you know of that could hold him?
Alissa and Kelly both sit there, neither really knowing how to answer that even as they both ponder the question… and then re-ponder the question. Ashley nods knowingly and all three start laughing together.
Alissa Lacroix: He reminds me of that guy, used to live up the street from us.
As the laughter starts to die down, Ashley frowns.
Ashley Kenyon: Which one?
Alissa starts snapping her fingers rapidly as she tries to remember the man in question’s name.
Alissa Lacroix: The one used to come in, get hammered, and then look at people he didn’t like and say, “You gettin’ froggy with me, Boy?”
As Alissa keeps snapping her fingers trying to remember and Kelly just frowns blankly, Ashley nods, her eyes going wide with realization.
Ashley Kenyon: Buddy Lowe?
Alissa’s eyes go wide and she points at Ashley, nodding.
Alissa Lacroix: YES! That guy…
Ashley nods slowly.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, I can see it. That guy was huge, scared the shit out of everybody and only seemed to talk when he was spoiling for a fight.
Kelly nods slowly as well.
Kelly Taylor: is that guy you and Li used to tell stories about, the guy who when they called the cops on him, they would call the sheriff and he would come down and ask him politely to please allow them to arrest him?
Alissa nods.
Alissa Lacroix: That would be the one.
Ashley grins.
Ashley Kenyon: True story too.
Kelly shakes her head.
Kelly Taylor: I can’t imagine that.
Alissa shrugs sadly.
Alissa Lacroix: Now, they’d probably shoot him.
Ashley nods as well.
Ashley Kenyon: Probably, that old man wasn’t one to back down for shit.
Alissa raises her glass.
Alissa Lacroix: To Buddy Lowe.
Kelly and Ashley nod and raise their drinks as well.
Kelly Taylor: To Buddy Lowe.
Ashley Kenyon: To Buddy.
They all finish off their drinks and slam the glasses down.
Alissa Lacroix: So are we just drinkin’ tonight or are we REALLY partyin’?
Kelly’s eyes go wide as Ashley thinks it over.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, ok, y’all get some poison and we’ll let it rock. Who knows, maybe I’ll even get laid tonight. Just let me go take care of something and we’ll light this puppy up!
Alissa nod and in a flash all three of them step up from the table, Alissa heading off towards the bar while Kelly heads towards the restroom in the back. Ashley steps over towards the door and fires up the camera on her phone.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, I know, big fucking shock, right? Ashley Kenyon’s at a bar with loud, rowdy music playing in the background only a couple of days out from a big match. Hey, you guys prepare your way and I’ll prepare mine and we’ll all just be…
She pauses, seemingly catching herself before looking down and shaking her head as she allows herself a cruel chuckle.
Ashley Kenyon: Naw, fuck that shit! I’ll do this if I damn well feel like it and you can all stare at my ass wishing you were having this much fun knowing that’s as close as you’re ever going to get to it and you’ll fucking like it!
She pauses to glance behind her, searching the crowd for something for a second before turning back to the phone’s camera.
Ashley Kenyon: You know, I was gonna come on here and talk shit and all but, why? So Oliver Georgio can be all pleased that he pitted me and Cro against Danika and Snake, Jr. rather than give us Bethy and Dorian and watch the shit fly? We all know you’re just doing this to protect your little band of gold mines…
She shakes her head, glancing back again.
Ashley Kenyon: Dani and I’ll have fun and I’m sure the boys will too but let’s be honest, there’s no way Bethy, Dorian and whoever else they can scrape up are gonna pass this opportunity up!
She moves the camera around so she can stay searching the crowd.
Ashley Kenyon: And then we get to end your precious gold mines and there’s not a fucking thing you can do about it, Oliver! Party on that!
Kelly Taylor: I wish I could play like that.
Alissa pulls her eyes away from the band to stare at her lover in shock. The two had been playing together in a band called the Fallen Angels for the better part of two years now and Kelly still worried the others in the band looked down on her drumming.
