Comic/Manga Overheard in the dressing room... (DZ Yuu, Linlan and Yue)

Previous chapter can be seen HERE...


Duke: So anyway, I've been telling Tyler I'm sick of doing these wedding gigs. We can leave that to the other bands. I wanna concentrate on some real music. Playing eighties and nineties pop covers isn't doing us any good.


Duke: I mean, aren't you sick of singing all those Cyndi Lauper songs? We --
Sabra: *interrupts* Duke, don't you have anything better to do? Like practicing?


Duke: Nah, I've been practicing all afternoon. Where's Tyler, anyway?
Sabra: I'm not sure. Why don't you go look for him?


Duke: I don't feel like it. Sheesh, Sabs, I think you're trying to get rid of me.
Sabra: Who, me?


Duke: I'm waiting to hear back from that video production guy too, to see if he can come out and shoot us Friday night. The footage Dodge took of us is doing okay on YouTube, but the audio sucked... and face it, it doesn't look professional. We're never gonna get quality video for free. We'll have to fork out --


Sabra: *interrupts* Did you check your sound levels already?
Duke: Yeeeeesssss. Gaah, Sabra, you're worse than Tyler.


Sabra: Speaking of --
Tyler: Hey guys, got some bad news.
Duke: Wait, what?
Sabra: Is this a hallway?? My mistake, I thought it was the women's dressing room.
Duke: Bad news?


Tyler: Well, bad for us. It's about Matt. Lissa got the teaching position she wanted in Tacoma, so they're moving.
Duke: What??! Moving??
Sabra: Well, we knew it was bound to happen sometime.
Duke: But... what about the band?! What about tonight? And Friday night??


Tyler: Tonight and Friday are still on... but they're starting packing this weekend. We're going to have to cancel everything after Friday until we find another bass player.
Duke: Well, shit!!
Tyler: It's not the end of the world. I'll go check out ads tomorrow at the Musician's Center bulletin board, and put one up if I have to. There's always someone looking for a band. Plus you and Sabra can check online --


Duke: Arrrrrggh! We'll have to break in a new bass player all over again. Are we cursed??
Sabra: That's it, Duke! We're cursed. How did I miss that? That explains everything.
Duke: *makes a face*
Tyler: I told Dodge we're not booking any more gigs here for now. Did you check your sound levels for tonight, Duke?
Duke: How can you guys just act like nothing is wrong?? We're losing our bass player!


Sabra: Don't get stressed out, drama queen.
Tyler: Yeah, don't get worked up about it, Duke. We can't do anything right now anyway, so just concentrate on keeping tonight's gig on track.
Duke: *hmph* All right.
Tyler: And Duke, I don't want you flipping Matt any shit for leaving us.
Duke: Oh right, like I would do that.
Sabra: You KNOW you would... so don't. Play NICE.


Tyler: I want him to have good memories of playing with us. Besides, he actually LIKES you. Don't go changing his opinion of you right before he leaves... okay?
Duke: Okay, okay. I'm going over to see Marjorie. She's coming to the show tonight.
Sabra: Can't you just call her?
Duke: I want to SEE her.
Sabra: We only have an hour before sound check, so come right back.
Tyler: And DON'T go bitching to everyone at the office about Matt leaving. They don't want to hear it, and you'll get all stressed.
Duke: Tyler, I won't! Gaaaah.

 

Sabra: He's gonna get all stressed, isn't he?
Tyler: Oh yeah.

Aww, thank you, @BlissfulDemure! What a kind thing for you to say! It's important to me to have a little humor in my stories to balance things out.

I think that all my dolls have a sense of humor, too. Except for Maxim. LOL!

Thanks, @GiaVanna! I think these three are really good friends. This was the first story where I had all three of them together.
