[character name: Sarah Hayes]
[Location: Music store]
Bass had called and spoke to Alex about details about her party. She was excited it would be In a few days. right now she just wanted to sit back, kick back and relax. She wanted to go to her favorite music store. It was kind of retro. You could play instruments and everything. Well she could because she knew the owner. Bass went into the store enough. She picked up a Bass guitar. The instrument from which her nickname was derived and started to play. She could rock out all day if she wanted to.
Sarah put on the head phones and cues the music. She knew all about that stuff. She could work computers, electronic keyboards. Just a part of having a dad that was musically inclined. She loved it. Her mom might hate it, but Sarah loved it.
She played a bunch of different notes and then a few songs. She was having so fun fun that the time flew by. Morning turned to Lunch time. Sarah put the Bass down and turned around. She smiled at someone else in the store. "That was awesome right. I could play these instruments all day." Sarah went toward the keyboard to Que it up. "You play?" She asked the person.

Brad looked at the girl who looked vaguely familiar as if he had seen a photo of her somewhere before but he didn't know how or why so he smiled.
"I play some piano and I used to play the Violin." Brad said to her. "I'm more of a singing guy than I am a playing instrument, my father thought it a good idea if I learned an instrument, I was okay with the violin but I just didn't like it." Brad said to him honestly.
"So do you by chance attend silver, I have this major sense of deja vu, I get the sense I have seen your face before but I have no idea where or why." Brad said to the girl. "I'm BJ leave the puns alone if you will be so kind." Brad smiled as he said this. "What about you? Do you play? I came in to look for something, I have no idea what, I just thought I had time to spare and decided to come in and have a look around." Brad said to her.
"I'm more of a beach bum, it comes with being from Australia I guess, its colder back home at this time of year than it is here, we how ever have a hotter christmas than most countries enjoy." Braad said.

Bass listened to the guy, BJ. Oh puns went through her head alright, but she would never say them out load. That would be rude. Poor guy. She could imagine what people said to him, "BJ....why does that sound familiar." Sarah could have sworn she heard the name somewhere before. Yet she could not think of it, "I swear I have heard your name before." She shook her head and smiled then extended her right hand for a hand shake, "I do go to Silver, guilty as charged. Sarah....Sarah Hayes, but my friends tend to call me Bass. Only my boyfriend calls me Sarah anymore. I answer to both."
Sarah looked back to the instruments, "I play all sorts of guitars from old fashioned to electric and the piano and drums. My father is in a band. I write lyrics for songs. I can sing, but I prefer to play over singing." She told him. "If you are looking for something and you can play the violin then I would suggest guitar. Strings are the same except you strum with your fingers instead of a bow." Okay the violin and guitar were more different then that but still.
"I am looking around for birthday ideas. I plan to drop hints to Alex....he's my boyfriend. The good thing about this place is they are very cheap and if you drop my name at the counter you can get a discount." She told BJ with a smile, "My dad has done so much business here I swear he knows the owner." She laugh.
"Australia huh." Bass headed over to the guitar section and beckoned for BJ to follow, "Welcome to Cali. Hope you love the crazy beach weather we are semi having." She stopped in front of some old fashioned guitars, "The key to learning guitar is tuning it. Once you know how to tune you are golden." She picked up a guitar and started to mess with it, "My boyfriend and his twin is from Ireland, well his whole family is. Alex goes to Silver too. Maybe you know him.....Alex Edwards."

Brad blinked at this then chuckled, "I should do his family and my family have been friends since we were little, Alex and I are best of friends, while Jade and I are good friends and ex boyfriends." Brad said to her. "Alex's parents helped mine out a long time back since then, we have pretty much been family ever since, Alex's parents have a house in Sydney, wrong city for us but they came to town to meet with my father, and became business partners or something, business minded I'm not." Brad said to her. "Alex wouldn't shop in a place that does cheap deals, at least I don't think he would, you can never tell with them two, Jade doesn't like to show of the fact that his rich... but Alex... I guess the thing with the two of them is you can never tell what they are going to do next." Brad said.
"I gave up the violin, I don't have the patience for instrument play much any more, I do like to play the piano, but that said I have to find time to do that, and between work and school its not that easy to find the time... I just came in here really to have a nose around, and mybe tempted into making a purchase." Brad said to her.

"Wait your Brad....I have heard Alex mention you. Okay now I get it. there are pictures of you at his house. For a moment I kind of wondered if Alex was gay myself, but now that explains it. You being Jade's ex, plus given they are twins. Even i admit to I have mixed them up more then once, but I think i know Alex by now. I have never been to Australia or Ireland. I have only been around Asia and certain parts of Europe. My dad travels a lot for his job." She admitted with a shrug.
"No you would be right. Alex shopping with cheap deals is not likely, but I feel bad when he spends so much money on me. I am not poor myself. My dad has money, but sometimes the best things are vintage." She said motioning to a very old, but classic guitar. "What I do know id that Alex is one of the best gift giver ever." Sure they had only dated a few months, but Alex had gotten her some things. He was so cute sometimes.
"See i am the opposite. I have nothing but time and that gets boring after a while. Hence why I spend my days in stores or out and about looking for something to do. If you are looking for something to just play with while you hang out here they have some awesome keyboards and pianos over there." She got up and walked over to the piano section, "Where is Alex? I think he is hiding from me?" She said joking around.

Brad chuckled, "His sleeping of the hangover from last nights party, that boy can drink with the best Irishmen." Brad said to her. "We took a limo to the party last night so we could bot get drunk rather than one of us being a responsible driver, but unlike Alex I don't suffer from hang overs. He won't be save to drive for a couple of more hours at least." Brad said to her.
"We ended up with chocolate cake all over us as well, or at least I did, so it was a great party in my eyes, free time tends to be at a premium for me, I wish it wasn't, but there we go... I think Alex has plans to be at the rave tonight... assuming his parents haven't grounded him or killed him for getting drunk again." Brad said to her with a grin.
"You should definitely go to Australia, your life is not complete until you have had christmas on the beach, I mean seriously LA maybe hot all year round but back home christmas is so hot that you can quite happily fry an egg on the bonet of your car." Brad said to him. "The surfing is really cool to, you have to forgive us our TV soaps, their horrendus, you get really cute actors in them don't get me wrong but our best export is Neighbours in TV and that is not something worth writing home about..." Brad said.

"Now that sounds like Alex. I swear I don't know how he does it and still gets up the next day. I try not to drink to get a hangover. Besides someone has to be sober, or semi sober to keep an eye on Alex." Bass smiled. "I head about the exploding cake. There was a blast on you tube about it. Apparently someone filmed it." She informed Brad. The video and the description were all over you tube.
"Awww I sure hope not. I was going to go to the rave myself. maybe I will stop by his place and check on him. I can bring him some chicken soup." She said with a smile. "I doubt he will be grounded. I mean this is Alex...." Sarah said thinking a moment. "Okay maybe he could, but we shall see. Are you going to the rave tonight? I hear it will be kick ass, just make sure you do not drink a drink that is open already."
"Something about Christmas in the heat seems wrong. It should be a white Christmas, not a Sand filled one. Then again I ams ure being able to spend Christmas on the beach does seem appealing. i might have to check it out. It defiantly sounds like a way to spend Christmas." She thought about it. Could be tons of fun, "I would not know much about soaps. That's my mothers domain. I did not watch soaps. I don't need the drama."

Brad smiled, "Oh I am going to be there, strangely I am meant to be shopping for a new shirt or something, but I ended up in here, the story of my life that, go out for one thing and come back with something else." Brad said with a chuckle.
"I wouldn't know how nice the cake tasted that ended up on me, sadly I can look at them, but I can't eat them." Brad said to her. "Alex gets grounded like everybody else, the difference between him and them is that he knows how to get in and out of the house without his parents knowing, its quite funny, he takes the fall for Jade often enough as well." Brad said to her with a shake of his head.
"Australian christmas's are so much more fun than those when its cold, but then I was born in the hot climate where everything is back wards, where its coldish in the summer months, and its hot during the winter months of the rest of the world. Though our idea of cold is the British idea of hot most of the time." Brad said. "I haven't been to Ireland though, when we were in Australia we were invited, but twenty hours in a plane with a couple of hundred people at the time would have been my idea of personal hell." Brad said.

"You sound like me. I am suppose to be out picking up a few things for my mom and that was about three hours ago." Sarah said with a laugh, "And yet here I am. Then again its my own rebellion. She will just have to wait. I am kind of mean like that. My mom and I had a fight and here I am after she asked me to pick some things up." Once Sarah said it, she knew it sounded bad because it sounded like she and her mom fought over the errands, so she corrected herself. "Well the fight was not about the errands it was about something else, but either way I was suppose to be home a few hours ago....my bad." She smiled.
Its not like anything would really happen to her. Her dad would not ground her and her mother would just roll her eyes and then just blame it on Sarah being a teenager. Nothing new, "I swear I don't know how he does it half the time. Alex is smart as hell for how he gets away with some of the shit he does like sneaking out without being caught. I got lucky with him." Sarah commented.
"Well I have never been to Ireland either, but I can only imagine going to Australia during summer vacation and needing a winter coat." Sarah actually liked the idea. "So what do you think of America? crazy huh? Must be way different then Australia." Every place was different and thats the way Sarah liked it. Every place was unique.

Brad smiled, "America is crazy, I'd only been here a week when I was spotted by a talent agent, since then its like going from one job to the next, when I'm not at school I seem to be working, its madness." Brad said to her. "Melbourne is a million miles away from what life is like here for me, and being the youngest and the only one still at home I get to rule the roost so to speak." Brad explained with a smile.
"My sister still lives in Melbourne, I'm not exactly sure where my brother is, he set of travelling after he finished school last year, we get post cards from time to time and presents his sent from the places his been." Brad said to her. "Its kind of fun, something I am thinking of doing when I am finished with school, but it depends on how my career goes I guess." Brad said. "I've seen some of the world, when ever my parents go away during the breaks I go with them." Brad said. "But at the moment I do my travelling through my brother, while my sister gives me nephew's and nieces sometime in the future." Brad said with a goofy smile. "I like the idea of being the doting gay uncle who can spoil the kids rotten, its easier to hand them back at the end of the day." he said to her.
