"All work no play makes Justin go something or another.." Justin says as he sits in a booth with Shaunna, Kelly, Gosling, and Jake, each of them with a beer and sandwich in front of them while the rest do what is needed for the show coming up.
"Go mad?" Jake questions as Kelly steals one of his fries only to get a rude glare.
"is it mad that he says?" Shaunna asks curiously as she sits next to Gosling, having the feeling he is a lot safer then any of the others due to he is a manager and not a performer or girlfriend of a performer.
"I don't know but doesn't he say something like 'here's jack'?" Justin adds as he looks over at Shaunna, smirking some to see she was paying attention.
"No no you have it all wrong. It's No beer and TV make Homer go something something and then marge says mad? and he says don't mind if I do," Gosling says before stealing a fry from Jake's plate just to piss him off more.
"I've given all I can but you don't seem to care. And I've given my whole heart but its not ever enough. Where do I fit in your life am I just a waste of time. Give me some answers now before I find the door and leave here.... yeah... I'm about to leave here..."
Jason looks up from the stand at Raquel, giving a smile before calling out. "That's great but you're guitar is booming a bit. Can you move the mic back an inch from it?"
With a weak smile Raquel nods and slips her guitar off her lap before standing up. Carefully, she takes the mic stand, pushing it back so its behind the x originally marked for it on the stage. "Does this look far enough?" she calls out only to get no answer. Figuring it is she takes a seat again and picks the guitar back up, positioning it around some.
"Is that one of your songs?" Justin asks curiously, breaking from the shining conversation only to look at Shaunna since she was the only member of Original Skin sitting with them.
"Nah, that's something that will probably end up just a forgotten song. She has a lot of them, so does Adam," She answers before turning her head to look behind her only to notice that John is sitting by himself on the other side of the room with a pad of paper and pen.
"Alright guys this is for the torture of all the men," Raquel says into the mic, laughing softly as she hears Adam yell something obscene from the back stage area. "And these are the best time of our lives so why do you cry? why do you cry? And this is the happiest we've ever been so why do you cry? why do you cry? why do you cry? I have given all I can and all you do is take.
Take me away from this scene. I have no choice but to leave you be, I'm sorry I had to try since you were my life. You were everything I thought I wanted. But you lied so why do you cry.
And these are the best time of our lives so why do you cry? why do you cry? Why do you make me cry? And this is the happiest that we've ever been so why do you cry? Why do you cry? Why do I cry.... woah woah woah woah woah woah yeah , Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah yeah ."
"BOOO!" Justin yells at the top of his lungs only to make the small group of people in the bar laugh while Raquel stops playing and laughs along, a hand coming up only to flip him off.

The night was a hit, a great opener for all the bands though Adam, after Original Skin played couldn't stop complaining about missed kicks from Serena and the tired sound in Raquel's voice when she sang there love ballet the show all in all was a success. Especially for Beer Buzz who rocked hard, having everyone in the club dancing and some trying to sing along though they didn't know the lyrics to the songs necessarily.
"How's it gonna be when you don't know me anymore," Raquel sings under her breath as the jute box plays Third Eye Blind's hit. She had been one of the only ones besides Justin, Gosling, Jake and Serena to stay at the club. Everyone else was exhausted, in bed or about to climb into bed at the shabby motel 8 they had rented rooms at. She didn't know why she stayed at the club, normally she really wouldn't unless everyone else was but tonight, after seeing Kelly and Adam kiss, she just had no desire to go back.
"Hey... want another beer?" Justin asks as he has a seat in the booth besides her, having just finished dancing with Serena who was now in a corner with some guy she had just met, most likely getting his number or setting herself up for a one nighter.
"Hmm?" Raquel asks, turning her head toward him only to give a sleepy smile. She hadn't really been paying attention to anything, to lost in though.
"Come on shorty, I think its time you back it in," he says as he takes the empty glass out from in front of her, setting it on the other side of the table. "Let me take you back.."
"No.. I'm fine. I can make it on my own," she insist quickly as she reaches over, gently patting his shoulder before sighing heavily. "Did... did you love Kelly?"
Surprised by the question, Justin looks at her oddly for a few seconds before taking her hand in his, bringing it to his lips only to kiss the back of it sweetly. "I'm taking you back."
