ButchxBubbles friendship???

Thanks for the request :)

The thought of Butch and Bubbles having a spa night? Yes please. Im not really good at writing friendship fluff fics so i hope this is ok. I really like the idea of their friendship dynamic and maybe I’ll elaborate more on it. Plus I wrote this at like 1 am so yeah.

Enjoy. :) Request and asks always open

----

Bubbles finished bringing all her products from the bathroom to her bedroom. She had everything ready for her spa treatment as her sisters were off on some over night history field trip for their class. Of course she wasn’t in that class so she was left by herself and the professor was out of town for a couple of days.

She had quite the collection of things to do and wished someone was here to do it with her. She could call Robin but she knew she had gone to her cousins house and her other friends lived a few miles away. Boomer had even gone on the trip but was sending her photos every ten minutes.

“Guess its just us tonight.” She looked to Octi who just stared at her with his button eye.

A sound came from behind and she turned to see something hitting her window. She got closer and saw that a figure was there. She threw open the window and looked outside. Her eyes widening slightly as she saw who was hovering.

“Butch?” She said questionably and he gave her a small wave.

“Sup Blondie.” He smirked.

Her signature giggle echoed. “What are you doing here?”

“Well since every one is gone on that stupid trip, I thought why not see what you’re up to” He shrugged.

“Are you sure?” She looked behind her at the set up she had. “I don’t think my plans is something you would be up for.”

He flew past her and she closed the window. “Don’t care, I am bored.” He took a spot on the floor in front of the blanket that was laid out and coated with products upon products.

Bubbles walked over and sat on the other side looking at all the products. “I was just going to do a spa night time or what I like to call Bubbles Time.” She sighed.

He shifted a little. “I can leave if you want, I just thought-”

“No!” She held up her hands and shook her head. “No you don’t have to go. My sisters don’t ever participate so its nice having someone here, even if you don’t wanna be pampered.”

Butch picked up a bottle while Bubbles fasten her hair into two cute space buns. He popped open the cap and took a sniff. Coconut and pineapple filled his nose and he could tell Bubbles wasn’t as bubbly as usual. He didn’t want to slap the shit on his face but knowing that not even Blossom wanted to do this with her, he thought why not.

“Im game. Whats first?” He asked.

She looked up at him with a blank stare. “Really?” Her face slightly turned almost like a cute puppy dog.

“Sure why not. Your skin is probably hella smooth and its not like this shit is gonna hurt.”

Her smile was blinding as nodded. She let out a high pitched squeal and soon her was pulled into a hug. “Thank you Butch! Thank you! Not even Boomie would do this with me, fucking meanie.” he whispered the last part and he was let go from the bone crushing hug.

“Nah fuck Boomie.” he slightly cringed at the nickname but now he had blackmail against his baby bro. “This is Bubbs and Butch time.”

She clapped her hands together and began preparing.

“So now this will open your pores and get the rest of all that dirt. Geez your pores are huge.” Bubbles said as she popped open the toner and spread it on the cotton pad.

“Rude.” Butch said but took the soaked cotton from her. He watched her apply it to her skin and copied her motions while looking in the mirror. His hair was pushed away from his face with a light purple hairband that had cat ears on it. “This shit kinda burns.”

“Don’t be a pussy.”

“Damn Bubbs didn’t know you cussed often.” He held out his hand to accept the moisturizer from her. “Kinda bad ass.”

She laughed at this. “Oh Blossy doesn’t like it and of course BC does. After all I am hard core.” She playfully shrugged.

---

“And then she fucking blew me off to hang out with Mitch, can you believe that!” Butch complained.

“I hate when she does that, always forgetting plans.” Bubbles sighed as she filed his nails and blew off the dust.

He looked at his other hand examining the clean nails. “You don’t think I have to worry about him right?”

She leaned over to look through her massive collection of nail polishes and pick a base coat and a dark green color and a pure black one. “Butch honey, he gay.”

“I knew that.” He said quickly. He looked at the polish. “What about just clear?”

Bubbles looked at him and raised her brows. “You know its really punk and cool for guys to paint their nails, plus Buttercup thinks its hot but you didn’t here it from me.” She wagged her eyebrows and dangled the bottle in front of him.

He snatched the black and shook it. “Paint me up Sugar.”

“Aww I wish Boomie did something like that for me.” Bubbles cooed at the screen.

“Sugar, they are just sitting on a gold course throwing grapes at each other.” He pointed out and she hit him with a pillow. “Watch the nails.” He lifted his hands.

“I know its simple but Troy and Gabrielle are cute and hey, I’m a sucker for cute romance.” He was sure her eyes were full of stars at this point. “Look they are dancing in the water!”

“How many times have you seen this?”

“Twenty seven.” The oven in the kitchen dinged and she got up. “Cookies are done. You want milk too?”

“Hell ya.”

She got up and walked away and he took out his phone. There was a message from Buttercup.

Spice Babe: is she torturing you?

He held his phone up to snap a selfie of his cat ear hair band.

Me: Nope but i look hot af now. Good luck keeping your paws off me.

Spice Babe: lol sure btw this shit blows, be thankful youre not here

Me: sucks 2 be you but i got fresh cookies from bubbs

Spice Babe: Lucky bastard

The plate of cookies was set in front of him and he clicked his phone away as she paused the movie.

“Buttercup having fun?”

“Nope but thats not my problem.” He grinned. “ So whats next?” he asked almost a bit too excitedly.

Bubbles covered her mouth to finish chewing. “Well its getting late and I was gonna do a face mask and build a pillow fort.”

“oh.” He realized that it meant he should probably go.

“Do you wanna make pillow forts and have a pillow fight? Oh and a sleep over!”

His eyes widened with a giant grin. “Fuck Yeah!”

His neck almost popped as the pillow was slammed into his face and he had never seen the vicious look on her face before. Even with temporary tattoos and a sparkly face mask that smelt like berries, his was pink and strawberry scent, she was still scary.

“Prepare to die!” She shouted as she raised a pillow over her head.

“Oh shit.” He ducked and shot one back at her, hitting her in the stomach making her grunt. Her elbow knocked on the table and they watched as the homemade smoothies shook and almost spilled.

Their eyes met and they busted out laughing before setting the pillows down.

“Lets wash these off and then call it a night?” She said and he followed her to the bathroom. His feet were now inside bunny slippers that were a tad to small a she was rocking matching dog ones.

He let out a yawn as she handed him a towel to dry his face and before long, they had shut off the lights and got into their pillow forts that were facing each other.

“Thanks for hanging out with me. It means a lot.” She said and he looked at the ceiling.

“I had fun. You’re pretty cool Sugar.”

“I’m glad someone thinks so.”

“Whats that mean?” He asked and he heard a small sigh.

She held onto Octi and even though she couldn’t see his face, she knew he had a frown on.

“Most people just think of me as the cute girl, which is true but im more than that. Sometimes even kicking a monsters ass doesn’t prove that I am strong and mighty.”

“Listen I know for a fact you are cool and strong. I got my ass handed to me by you once or twice in our child hood. Most people think im just some meat head who can punch.”

“I don’t think that.” She said and he believed her. “I think you are really talented at sports and just like to punch, nothing wrong with that. But you are also kind and sweet and I see how you make Buttercup feel and some meat head couldn’t do that.”

He smirked to himself. “Thanks Bubbles.”

“Any time.”

A comfortable silence filled the room before he spoke up. “I really appreciate how much you care about Boomer. Its hard growing up without any form of love and every time he comes home, his smile is real and I know its because of you.”

Bubbles hugged Octi closer as a blush formed on her face after she sent Boomer a good night text. “He just makes me really happy.”

“Thats good. But I am gonna kick his ass for not taking you on cute dates because my homie deserves is.”

“Omg Butch are we bffs?”

“For sure.” And their shared laughter faded off as sleep took over.

The morning came fast and the pair quickly cleaned everything up before homemade pancakes were eaten.

“This shit is amazing Bubbs.” Butch finished his plate.

“Aww thanks. Oh looks like everyone should be back in an hour.”

He stood and took the plate to the sink. “Well I’ll get going because I don’t need Blossom on my ass about any of this.”

“I can handle her don’t worry.” She winked and soon she was alone finishing up her pancakes with a smile.

The front door opened and Brick and Boomer came walking in. Brick slammed his body on the couch and went straight to sleep while Boomer went to the kitchen where Butch was making a grilled cheese.

“I can’t believe you had a sleep over with my girlfriend.”

“Hi to you too. And chill we are just besties.” He winked. “Kinda lame that you never do any of this stuff with her.” He picked up the finished meal and bit into it before shaking his head at him. “Ya know, shes pretty cool and all she wants is to pamper and watch high school musical.”

“But you hate those things.”

Butch shrugged. “Yeah but my new bestie doesn’t and I support queens.”

Boomer gave him a weird look. “What did she do to you?”

He flipped him off, showing off his nails. “By the way she wants cuter dates. If you are going to simp then do it right Boomie.” He mocked before grabbing his plate. “Now if you’ll excuse me, Sugar and I are going to the mall fuck face.”

Boomer frowned as he took all the food. “Hey don’t call her that!”

“See ya later simp.”

hope you liked :)

Tales From Peter Parker: Foreign Exchange Student - The Grapes of a feather Part 1

"WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT!" A raised voice coming from Flint Marko alias the Sandman.

It's called 'anime' Marko, learn the damn culture sand for brains!" Herman Schultz alias The Shocker responded by scolding and ripping the anime case from Marko.

"So what like them cartoons in the U.S.?"

"Its so much more than that its a way of life for this country, I'm what the Japanese kids called a Weeabo!" Herman said with such a prideful tone.

"....... Da hell does that mean?"

"It means I'm a fan who enjoys the highest of quality animation." Shocker responded in a staunch stance.

"And those finer things include gauking at underage girls?"

"Don't cheapen it like that, thats a gross and misleading interpretation of the anime culture!" Herman felt insulted by Flints simplified observation of the genre.

"Plus I don't do Lolicons I'm attracted to the more firm and volumptious woman of great beauty like Oda's One Piece." Herman corrected while making vulgar hand gestures.

A short silence fell between the two, as Flint tries processing what his quilt attired allied has just uttered.

"Okay whatever youse say, The Vibrator lets get our videos and bail out already." Flint mockingly smiled as Shocker only responded by a gritted face of irritation.

At the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Center is a mall that specialize in selling various goods pertaining to a citizens body type and quirk type. But aside from selling speciality items for unique quirk users, the mall houses a variety in the entrainment medias as your standard "electronic store." Where we see now, one third of the Sinister Six members Sandman and Shocker wearing oversize tan trenchcoats in the middle of summer at the local video shop on, DVD purchases.

"Lets see we got "Godzilla 1945" for Beck, the original film, "The Ring" for Gargan, something on "the Japan's monorail system" for Toomes and nothing for Dmitri."

"Dmitri not so much a movie goer?

"Nah I just hate that Russian prick, OH HELL YEAH!" Hermans eyes popped with excitement as his sights met with his choice of DVD.

"The last copy of "Monster Museum" and its within my grasp!"

"Okay and what's, wait y'know what I do-"

Jumping away from the DVD, Herman immediately cutoff Flint to explain.

"It's a raunchy harem comedy about sexy monster girls trying to win the heart of the male protagonist tenant as he cleans up after there orgies and survives there cuddles of death." Herman with such graphic detail of the animes premise.

Many of the customers looked there way disturbed by the man in the yellow quilted suit unashamed manner and lack of censoring. The stares from customers embarrassed Flint heavily as he desperately wanted to use his powers to slink his head inside like a turtle away from prying predators. Instead all he could do was plant his face into his palms like a meme from the internet.

"What are you all looking at, scram you degen- Where's my Monster Harem?!" Cutting off his rant Herman sees a small boy with "grape hair?" making a quick dash as if his life depended on it.

"That little turd is stealing my monster harem, Flint circle around him will cut him off from the register!"

"Schultz its just a freaking cartoon!"

"Its not about the cartoon its the principal!"

"Principal of what?!" But Flints yell fell on death ears as the former linebacker sighed a heavy breath.

"Why do I even bother?" Flint thinks to himself.

Back to the boy with grape hair. Continuing to sprint with dear life as his mouth salivates he thinks to himself his almost clear.

"I'm almost at the register and than pure unadulterated smut will be mine to-"

His thoughts were interrupted as his head made collision with Flint Marko mid section sending the grape haired boy tumbling backwards in a daze. He tries to turn back only to have his chaser Herman Schultz, lifting the small teens hair by the palm of his left hand.

"Sup que ball, you have something of mine."

"Hey guy in the yellow, cushion suit?" A teen with spiky yellow hair calling out Herman confused by his clothes.

"Drop the perv he's a UA student and my best friend!"

"And if there's one thing I can't stand Kaminari its villains picking on my fellow classmates!" The red spiked hair schoolmates chimed in.

"Hey now were not looking for trouble-"

"But your little turd friend here was stealing fro- Where did he go and what the @$#% is this crap on my hand!"

Flayling his arms in panic, the sticky ball stuck to his hand would not budge as it simply jiggled from his thrashing.

"I wouldn't use your other hand if I were you unless you want to get stuck." Said Minetta with a smug tone.

"Get this crap off me!" Herman yelled at the boy.

"Oh I will, But only on one condition."

"Kid I swear if your trying to extort me I'm-"

"THATS RIGHT!! IF YOU WANT YOUR PRECIOUS HAND FREE YOU'LL FREELY ALLOW ME THE "Monster Museum" COPY!" Minetta demanded dropping his previous calm composure to that of a creature of lust.

"Dude sweet move!" Kaminari followed with a fist bump to Minnetta.

"Minetta don't you think thats a bit underhanded" Kirishima confessing his discomfort at this display of villainy.

"You little turd, we came all this way from the U.S. just to enjoy some peace." Herman walks closer to the boys.

"Than you steal from me, put this weird stuff on my hand and now you blackmail me!" The boys feel a bit a trembled as he inches in.

"Well I got one thing to say about that deal, Flint kick the crap out of these losers!

"WHAT!?" The UA perv duo said in unison.

"Pfft Hell no, I ain't gonna beat up some teens that made youse look bad."

"OH COME ON, these punks are asking for it especially that little bastard!" Herman points angrily at Minetta.

"And I told you my names Minetta if you want my sticky ball off, give m- GAHH!!" A blunt slap struck Minetta collapsing him to the floor.

The pink girls hand that struck his back head still burned from the strike.

"OW! What the Hell Mina!?

"You know what you did Minetta and as for you!" Her gaze met with Kirishima.

"I would expect Minetta and Kaminari of this, but you I thought you were better than this."

"I wanted to stop them Mina, but those two guys were bullying Minetta and-"

"And you thought bullying them for extortion was better?! Shame on you Kirishima!" Mina rubbed her fist into Kirishimas head.

"Its obvious what these guys are!"

"It is?" Herman and Flint said simoultanously as they both looked in the others direction nervously.

"The bright costume on that guy in oven mitts, the foreign accents, and that big guy in the green stripe shirt."

Hermans brow sweated intensely, his breathing erratic while Flint unable to sweat tries to inch backwards as slowly as possible.

"There Pro heroes!!" Mina proclaimed ecstatically.

"It all makes sense now, how could I be so stupid please forgive us sirs!" Said Kirishima as he bows repeatedly.

"Wait what-"

"Um yeah that's right! Were uh, undercover pro heroes is what my partner was trying to say, right Flint!" Said Herman as he tries to forcefully wink towards Flint.

Flint gives a simple shrug and a half hearted smile towards the school uniformed wearing students.

"That. Is. So. AWESOME!" The pink, horned girl exclaimed with an unyielding reserve of enthusiastic energy.

"Please let us introduce ourselves I'm Mina Ashido!"

"Eijro Kirishima!"

"Denki Kaminari!"

"And Minetta!"

"And were from Class 1A of UA High training to become Pro Heroes." Said Mina enthusiastically.

"PLUS ULTRA" The group said in unity as they poised dramatically.

A long awkward silence soon proceeded as Herman and Flint try grasping what they just witnessed.

"Umm... Okay well I'm Flint Marko and quilt man over here is Herman Schultz."

"How many times I gotta tell you Marko quit calling me Quilt man, besides (ex nay on our "hero" names)!" Herman whispering that last detail in secrecy.

"Look congrats on your whole training to be heroes but uh, Mineta right? I'm gonna need you to take this damn thing off now."

Mineta tries to look away but soon turns away as the steely gaze of Mina stares back.

"GAH! Okay fine! I'll take it off!" He begrudgingly agreed.

"So I gotta ask what are a couple of Secret pro heroes from the U.S. doing in Japan?" Kaminari questions.

"Well um, yeah see, we uhh..-"

"And why are you guys in a video store buying anime porn?" Kaminari's question continue to corner Flint.

With Shocker getting Mineta and Mina to help remove the sticky ball from his hand, Flint knew he had to dig deep to pull off an elaborate, B.S. lie that would make even Mysterio proud.

"Well ain't it obvious Pin Cushion, were staking out for any bad guy yahoos trying to uh.... rob this place so we was just trying to blend in and be all "conspicuous"

that answer your twenty questions?"

"My name is not the damn Pin Cushion! Its Kaminari you ignorant tourist!"

"Why does this kid make me want backhand him like Electro." Flint said to himself as he struggles to keep calm.

"Kaminari! You shame pro heroes every where with that disrepectable talk! Kirishima scolded.

The blonde haired boy was shaken by his classmates scornful tone, a feet he thought only the explosive Bakugou was capable of.

"Forgive my friends jerk behavior sir but if your looking for recommendations-"

"Stow it half pint, Hermans the one who's into the anima or cartoons stuff I'm looking for something with a little bit more teeth, present company excluded of course."

"My names not half pint its, Kirishima" the young man protested more annoyed by the nickname than the teeth remark.

"I got the anime that's right for you, its Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 and I bet my entire code of manliness to convince you!"

"Manliness?"

"It's Kirishimas whole mantra of machismo don't encourage it." Kaminari explained.

"Who asked you Sparky! And as to you Kiri-shama was it, any man that puts there code on the line has my attention."

Flint held his fist high towards Kirishima.

Knowing the gesture well, Kirishima moved his arm in response to fist bump Flint in dramatic fashion.

"Did I hear explosions, Flint said to himself."

And Flint would be right for unbeknownst to the group, several armed men garbed in sophisticated helmets and harnesses storm the video shop entrance in a threatening like manner of ill intent!

TO BE CONTINUED!

Okay I’ve been thinking about this A LOT! One where Harry tells BFF Y/N about him dating Camille but you’re in love with him and he doesn’t know. And what if like Y/N is famous too and Harry decided to surprise her at one of his shows BUT BRINGS CAMILLE and she covers ‘Girl Crush’ and right when she introduces it she sees Harry and she’s just kinda like “fuck it” and sings it anyways and he understands as she’s like staring him down that she loves him ugh. I need to know what would happen next

ooo famous Y/N this is new territory for me. I like it. This is actually so damn long I’m sorry but not too sorry bc it’s so fucking good. hope you LOVE it! Xx

He doesn’t normally do the whole surprise thing. He doesn’t show up announced, he likes to grace you with the courtesy of calling, or send a text, to make sure you’re not caught up in something and can maneuver him into your schedule.

But he’s looming around the corner of the corridor, bringing his finger to his lips each time one of your team members spots him. He had to pull one of them aside, and ask which one was your dressing room, because he didn’t want to knock on all the doors like a fucking idiot. So now he’s sneakily making his way to the very end of the hall, politely waving at the few people who shoot him a bewildered look, as they try to figure out why Harry Styles is awkwardly jogging down the hallway.

And when he busts into the room, giving a little shout to really make you jump, he feels a little bad for not knocking. Because you really do jump, and your hand flies to your chest as you let out one of those ear shattering shrieks. The look on your face is priceless, and he can’t ward off the belly laugh thats coming from him. So you’re narrowing your eyes at him now, shaping them into little slits, cursing under your breath before cracking a smile. Because you really weren’t expecting him, not here, not in New York. You’d mentioned to him that it was a big night for you, it was a big show with an even bigger crowd, and the idea of him coming to show a little support was heartwarming.

“Madison Square Garden,” he admired, going to grab a piece of fruit from the platter on the table, “look at you.”

“Mmmm,” you chuckle, plopping onto a spot on the sectional couch, “impressed?”

He smiles at you, that dimply smile that’s almost infectious, and your heart is swelling just a tad. You figure he’s about to say something nice, go all soft and be all sentimental. He’s not always like that, especially with you. He likes to be sassy, likes getting a rise out of you and teasing you. And you’ll take it, because any kind of attention coming from him is good attention.

“No,” he shrugs, taunting smirk making an appearance, “been there, done that.”

“Did you fly all the way here to rub that in my face? Could’ve done that over text.” You tut, and he’s snickering at you before swallowing a grape.

“Camille is in town, came t’spend the weekend with her before I go t’Italy.” he answers, arm now reaching for one of the bottled waters.

It takes everything in you to suppress the eye roll you almost give him, because the mere sound of her name coming from her mouth sends an unsettling wave of irritation over you. You hadn’t met her yet, and you weren’t interested in doing so any time soon. When he’d bring her up you’d be quick to dismiss him, and move even quicker to change the direction of the conversation. The very moment you’d found out about her, when he had confessed to you that the few tabloid rumors were in fact true, you couldn’t be bothered with the topic any further. And to be entirely honest, you were annoyed that he brought it up now, here, during a time you were supposed to be reveling in. And in addition to that, you were even more put off with the fact that he flew all those miles to come eat dinner in New York with a 6 foot woman who looked identical to a breadstick, instead of coming to see one of his closest friends perform one of the most important shows of her career.

“Should meet her,” he adds, “yeh both here, can all go out tomorrow and-”

“Don’t have time,” you shrug innocently, “next time, though!”

He nods meekly at your response, because he’s not entirely sure where the hostility is stemming from. He makes a note of how the energy in the room has shifted, how your body language is a little more stiff and that you’re not as amused by his company as you were just a few moments earlier. And eventually the liveliness is sucked out of the conversation, because while he’s trying to keep it going, you’re meeting him with bleak and one worded answers, all while keeping your attention fixed on your phone. When he decides that it’s time to remove himself, when he sums up your attitude to pre show jitters, he heads off with a goodbye. And he does go for a kiss on the cheek, to which you barely reciprocate.

He’s not going to tell you that he’s coming later. He’s still pretty keen on the surprises, and he’s leaving his appearance at your first ever sold out show to be a surprise. So while he skips off, smile on his face as he anticipates your reaction, you let out a sigh of relief when the door falls closed behind him. You think, he has to be the biggest fucking idiot of them all, how he’s overlooked all the subtle hints this whole time. How he’s managed to go on this long without figuring out your feelings for him is a mystery to you.

The thought of it is no longer a pressing one, and has moved from the front of your mind to the back. There wasn’t any time to let it dominate your thoughts, as you stood up on a stage in front of thousands of eager faces.

Your eyes are scanning the crowd, all jammed into the arena, attention zoned in on you and you only. It’s a riveting feeling, one you just can’t ever seem to get tired of. You feel at peace, energized even, the chorus of yelling and the sound of your name being chanted is a sound so sweet and vibrant.

It’s a little break between songs, and you’ve shimmied into the assigned outfit for your second set, a slinky little dress with some thigh highs to match. It’s a little bothersome, and you felt like the sequins were a bit much, because they kept itching you and you’d have to wiggle around to ween off the scratchy effect. And as you do so, chatting mindlessly with a few fans in proximity, you’re spotting a few familiar faces. There’s a few fans you deem as familiar, some of them already having been to a couple of your shows. Your friends are in gaggles across the first few rows, phones up to snap photos before they wave to get your attention. And you can see your mom, just in front of the stage, chatting someone’s ear off.

And it’s Harry. It’s Harry whom she’s chatting with, giggling at him before roping him into a hug, squeezing his cheeks like she always does because ‘she just can’t help it’.

You feel a little bad now, for being so short and dismissive with him earlier, because you’d assumed it was a ploy to throw you off track. He’d come to surprise you at the show, keep you off his trail so you’d be surprised when he’d popped up in the crowd. He looks happy, excited even, a red solo cup dangling in his hand as he talks your mom’s ear off.

There’s a woman next to him, skinny thing with a mop of blonde hair, and as you try to engage with a fan you’re attention is spilt between the conversation and figuring out why she was standing so close to Harry.

And when he brings his free hand up, placing it on her waist, tugging her into his side a little bit to invite her into the conversation with your mother, you put the pieces together.

He’d brought Camille.

And now she was introducing herself to your mom, cuddling into your friend, at your show. She wasn’t invited, and you’re not sure why he’d think to bring her along, because you weren’t exactly subtle in the fact that you weren’t necessarily a big fan of hers. And normally you don’t mind surprises, but right now, you could really do without this one. You wish he had just taken her to dinner and flew back to wherever he flew in from, maybe even taken her with him. You didn’t wanna see him, didn’t want him here with her at what’s supposed to be one of the biggest nights in your career. You didn’t wanna talk to him, or her, and you sure as hell didn’t want your mom talking to her either.

Of course, your mother points out to the two of them that your gaze is in their direction, and the two of them spin around. Harry’s still got on arm around Camille, but it doesn’t stop him from flashing you a winning smile, hurling his arm up in the arm while doing his best to wave. And Camille is grinning, and it’s making your stomach hurt. In all honesty, you kind of wanted to cry a little. Not only because it stung, in the worst possible way, to see him so affectionate with someone else, but it was starting to get under your skin, get you a little ticked off. Because him bringing her put a bit of a damper on your mood, taking away a little bit of the magic of the night.

“Okay guys” you breath, earning a frown from him when you blatantly disregard his presence, striding to the opposite end of the stage, “I have a feeling a couple of you know this next one.”

The crowd is roaring, and you can’t help but let out a breathy laugh, before putting a hand on your hip. And though you should be focusing on the thousands of people here, the people singing your songs and yelling your name, you let your eyes flicker over to the pit. Just one more time, as you try one last ditch effort in convincing yourself that maybe this next song wasn’t a good idea. Your palms are a little sweaty now, as they stick to the material of the mic. And your heart rate is picking up just a little, because of the nerves, and you’re really trying to ponder on whether or not this is really what you should be doing. But you see him there, as she whispers something in his ear and he smiles.

fuck it.

It doesn’t take him long to become familiar with the song. In fact, he was the one who had initially shown it to you. He was a little surprised that you’d incorporated into your set, and he leans over and asks your mom if you’d performed it yet. And he’s puzzled when she shrugs, informing him that it was just as new to her as it was to him. But he goes along with it, at first, nodding his head to the intro while his eyes train on you.

Your back at the spot you were earlier, the corner of the stage, the spot that’s closest to the pit. The audience already knows all about the song, and the shrieks and screams when they hear it start is remarkable. Your teetering the very edge of the stage, your shoes nearly dancing over the edge. And your gripping the mic, like your fucking life depended on it, because you were sure that this was definitely a bad idea. But it was too late to do anything about it now.

The first few verses, he’s singing along, just like the rest of the people packed into the stadium. And he doesn’t think anything of it, it’s just a song the two of you like. He thinks, that’s why you’re looking at him, staring him down almost.

I wanna taste her lips

Yeah, cause they taste like you

I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume

I want her long blonde hair

I want her magic touch

Yeah, cause maybe then

You’d want me just as much

The words are leaving your mouth with a meaning behind them, with a purpose and intention, and its now that he’s realizing that the song was picked on purpose. You’d done it on purpose. Things are sort of falling into place now, clicking in his head the longer you go on with the song. And Camille’s singing along, and you wanna laugh a little because she really doesn’t have a goddamn clue. But he does, and he doesn’t know what to do about it. His body is stiff, and his hand has fallen from her waist and to his side, as every so often the two of you lock eyes.

It comes to an end, and your gaze rips from him to blow a few kisses to the arena of fans, yelling and screaming. He’s shell shocked, because how are you going to just switch that off so easily, so quickly and abrupt? It all happened in a whirlwind, because the lights had just gone out, and when they came back on, you were gone. Now everyone was shuffling out of the stadium, and your mom was bidding her farewells to him and Camille before going off elsewhere.

But he wasn’t ready to leave, not yet, because the air needed to be cleared. A conversation needed to be had. He was in search of some answers, because he’s in a headspace right now that’s unfamiliar, and fuzzy, and just weird.

“(Y/N),” your assistant hums, poking her head through the door, “got friends out here begging to come in.”

“Stop it,” you chuckle at her teasing, “they can come in, just getting my stuff together.”

You’re sat on the floor, stuffing a few of your clothes into a duffle bag before readying yourself to go and catch a plane. Your back’s to the door, keeping you faced away from the visitors. You’re assuming it’s your friends, the ones from home who’d been in the audience earlier, coming to congratulate you before heading out. So you’ve got a wide smile painted on when you hear someone clear their throat, from the doorway.

Though it’s quick to fade when you turn around, seeing Harry in the doorway, Camille right beside him.

“Oh,” you exhale, “wasn’t expecting you.”

It’s kind of like you have pins and needles in your feet, as you think about the fucking scene you’d just caused out on stage only a short while ago. He doesn’t look too pleased, and Camille is awkwardly standing alongside him. There’re a few butterflies swirling around in your stomach, and you can feel your chest start to tighten. But none of that is showing on the exterior, because your face is stoic and completely unamused.

He takes a sharp inhale, “Wanted to come and wish yeh a job well done.”

“Alright,” you smile, it’s a fake one and he picks up on it almost instantly, “thanks.”

He subtly rolls his eyes, and it’s not only because you’re being so snippy with him, meeting his compliment with a quip. You’re not even looking at him, really, and you’re just strolling around the room, picking things up and diverting your attention to anything but him. And you don’t even acknowledge Camille, or even so much as shoot a glance or a smile her way. He knows it’s not really like you, where as your normally very bubbly after a show, or just in general. Your overly kind, and friendly and chatty with new people. None of that is peeking through right now, and he’s picking up on it.

Camille doesn’t really acknowledge you either, though it’s mainly because she’s picking up on the weird and hostile energy that’s dominating the room. So she leaned over, whispering incoherently in Harry’s ear. You, very blatantly, roll your eyes, and he’s staring right at you while you do it. And then she disappears, waving you a goodbye before heading down the hallway.

And now it’s just the two of you. You’re back to putting clothes in your duffle bag, unbothered by his presence. But he’s waiting for you to say something.

“What happened?” you cock a brow, tone infiltrated with sarcasm “Barbie didn’t like the show?”

“Wha’s wrong with yeh?” he’s restricting his voice, you can tell, he doesn’t wanna scream at you and he’s trying hard not to.

“Nothing,” you shrug, “m’just fine. Peachy.”

“Right,” he laughs coldly, “so then wha’ was the’? Not even sayin’ hello to Camille? ‘Nd the girl crush bit, m’not just gonna ignore it!”

“I didn’t ask you to bring her”

“(Y/N),” he breathes, eyes shutting briefly so he can collect his thoughts, “if there’s something yeh need t’tell me, just bloody say it.”

You think about it, for a minute. You think about telling him how you feel, what you’ve been feeling. You think about telling him how when he hugs you, you almost don’t wanna let go. You think about telling him his smell, his cologne, it’s one of your favorite smells in the world. You consider telling him about how his laugh is infectious, how his smile is like pure gold, how you don’t ever seem to get sick of him, and that you’d spend a lot of your time thinking about him. But you don’t, you don’t tell him any of that. Your assistant pokes her head in again, this time with your mom, who both share an embarrassed look on their face as they know they’re walking into a tense conversation.

“Sorry,” your mom’s a little concerned, frowning as she sees Harry’s face contorted in a bitter look, “just-the car’s here so, we, it’s time to go.”

And you’re up, a few things in hand as you sling the bag over your shoulder. But he’s not exactly through with you yet, there’s still a conversation that needs to be had, and he’s not amused at the fact that you’re so keen to get away from him.

“Harry,” you sigh, “you shouldn’t need me to tell you anything.”

Rivals (Part 1) Harry Potter!au

TOMHOLLANDXREADER

(1,559 words) (i might change the title)

request: Yes

Warning: Swearing, prod bad writing, I’M NOT JK ROWLING

A/N: I love Harry Potter so much so i had a really hard time writing this, i wanted to do it justice so i hope it did. I might do more (these might take a while to write) also i have been kinda depressed lately so writing has been kinda slow i’m hopefully gonna get back into it this week! This is also my first request so if you wanna send some go ahead.

Masterlist Request ENJOY

“Aya, Aya where are you girl? We’re going to be late!” you shout looking behind a stack of wands. “[Y/N] darling” your mother chimes holding a Sable ferret out for you. “Found her in the workshop, are you ready to go?” she asked placing Aya in your bag “Yeah, just needed Aya” “You should be off then, gosh fifth year already” she says pecking your cheek “I wish I could see you off but” you cut her off “First day of school busiest time of year” smiling you grab your luggage cart and make to the door blowing your mum one last kiss you shut the door behind you. “Ollivander’s now open, get your wands” you shout to the patrons of Diagon Alley

“You’re lucky we didn’t miss the train” you whisper to Aya who has found herself curled up in your Ravenclaw scarf. Sticking your wand in the door before it closes the conductor smiles “Just in time, lass. Ticket?” handing the man you ticket he ushers you onto the train, and takes your luggage. Walking down the long aisle of compartments, your lateness cost you a good spot on the train coming to the only somewhat empty compartment you knock on the glass.

“Do you mind, everywhere else is full?” you ask the two boys in the compartment “Of course” one says motioning to the empty bench across from them “Thanks, the price of being late I suppose” you laugh grabbing Aya from you bag “Come on girl, stretch your legs” you say placing her on the seat next to you scratching her ear and turning in a circle she morphs into a black cat wearing a small pink charm round its neck. “Brilliant” one of the boys blurt “[Y/N] Ollivander, and this is Aya.” You stick out your hand and they shake it “I remember you, you sold me my wand. I’m Harrison, thats Tom” “What was it…” you think for a moment “A walnut, thirteen and a half inches, unicorn hair, my grandad taught me to never forget a wand” “How’d she do that thing with changing” Harrison asks pointing to Aya “She wears a Transfiguration charm, she can transform into anything her size anything bigger and gets really tired. T’was a gift.”

“Anything off the trolley, anything off the trolley dears?” the old sweat lady asks “A gummy snake and one pumpkin cookie” pulling out your coin purse handing the women three gold coins. The snake squirms in the package. Placing the cookie down for Aya you unwrap the gummy snake, it hisses and wiggles in you grasp after a few hisses from Aya you bite the head and the gummy goes stiff.

Walking back into the compartment you see the boys have both changed into their robes as well, seeing them in uniform you recognize them better “Wait, your Tom Holland, the Gryffindor seeker? You look different.” You ask tightening your tie. When you say different you really mean hot, Tom Holland was scrawny and sure as hell didn’t have that face last year. “Everyone says that” he laughs. “You do, you were almost as hard to see as the snitch” you giggle “right, you’re the Ravenclaw seeker” he says looking you up and down, nodding you hear the train whistle taking your seat you await the sight of the station

----SOME TIME LATER---

“Now let the feast begin” Headmistress McGonagall shout as food appears before you. Glazed ham, green beans, sweet rolls, and wheat roll all the food you could imagine. The evening sky bewitched on the ceiling candles floating through the air. When the boy across from you reaches for a chicken leg you catch a glance of Tom staring at you, mouth full of food he gives you a strange look and returns to his conversation. When the feast ends your called back to your dorm for bunk placement.

---TOMORROW---

“Mr. Holland, can you please tell me three main ingredients of a love potion”” The professor asks knowing the boys in the back weren’t playing attention “um, yeah its, uh” he flipped through his book “Can anyone tall me” the professor asked the class, when no one answered you blurted out “Ashwinder Egg, Rose Thorns, and uh, Refined Peppermint Oil, sir” you hated speaking in class “Very good Miss Ollivander, now” as the lesson began you stole a glance back at Tom who was glaring at you. Did I do something you think.

As you were on your way back to the Ravenclaw common room the stair case began to shutter and the move. Grabbing the railing you curse under your breath “Damn thing” someone said from behind you, yelping you turn quickly dropping a book over the side on the railing. Aya jumps from your bag then off the now stationary staircase “Don’t do that ya, div” you laugh punching you friend Mary Potter in the arm. “Sorry, I haven’t seen you and I got excited and hopped on before it could move.” Pulling her into a tight hug “I missed you, how was your holiday?” you ask as a hawk perches on the railing next you with a book a book in its mouth “Mum and I went to China with the Weasley’s. Hello Aya” she says patting the bird as you walk.

Picking a grape off the vine you flip the page in your potion book “Are you nervous?” Mary asks playing with Aya who is now a cat

“About what?” plopping a leaf into your cauldron it bubbles, was it supposed to do that. “The first game of the year, quidditch?” excitement poured out of her “Not really, should I be?” you ask popping another grape in your mouth “Tom’s been training a lot and he got…well better” she says sheepishly “Tell him to bring it on, may the best seeker, uh, team win” you giggling is cut short by the very serious look on Mary’s face “Look, he may seem like a nice guy but, he isn’t. The guy is competitive as all hell and would do anything to win, just be careful” she whispered while leaving. How bad could he be, on the train he seemed sweet.

“Welcome everyone to the first quidditch match of the season, were in for a treat today ladies and gentlemen. We have Gryffindor facing off against Ravenclaw.” The announcers voice boomed over the roar off the crowd

“Let’s get out the and play some ball.” The caption yelled as the doors opened and he flew out. Gripping the broom, you zoomed from out into the open air, you missed the feeling so much. The wind in your hair, the deafening sound of the crowd, and the smile plastered on your face. Across the field Gryffindor’s team flew through the air, heading towards the middle of the field Madam Hutch stood whistle in hand “I want a nice clean game…” she looked at Tom who snickered “on my mark” she bent down picked up the Quaffle she counted to three before throwing in the air beginning the game.

Zipping through the air you scan the field, Mary was in position of the Quaffle and was whizzing through the air towards the hoops throwing the ball she misses and the ball is intercepted by one of you chasers. The game played on and your team was three points behind when you finally saw a small golden flicker from the corner of your eyes, turning the snitched was sat hovering just out of arms reach “Here we go” you giggle lunging at the small ball as it flies off, zooming through the air a Bludger streaks by thankfully not smashing into you. Losing sight of the snitch for a moment you scan the field again when your eyes focus on Tom on his broom reaching out his arm.

Weaving through the field you come up right next to Tom, giving you a devilish smile he knocks into you, gripping your broom tightly you stay your path. Looking straight at the snitch you monitor Tom’s action from out of your periphery. After a sharp left Tom makes to ram you again but to his surprise before making contacted you dove a few feet down causing him to fly in the complete wrong direction. Steading your broom you push off landing on your feet, reaching for the snitch you can feel its wings brush against your fingertips. Your broom begins to wobble, looking behind you Tom is in hot pursuit with a look of pure anger on his face, gripping tightly you lean forward even more under you the broom wiggles then thrashes as Tom rams you again. With a yelp you plummet to the ground, hitting the ground hard you hear a loud ringing and a faint crack.

Opening your eyes, you see Madam Hutch smiling accompanied by the headmistress a look of concern on her wrinkled face, A sharp pain shoots through your arm looking down you see that it’s being treated by a Madam Pomfrey. In your other hand you feel a something small wiggling around opening your hand the snitch zips out and hovers just above you. Smiling you looks around, the crowd was going wild, your team was hugging and cheering. “It appears I’ve fallen off my broom” you giggle as the world goes black,

Growing......vines? || Harleen

What: Harley and Eveleen running into one another for the first time in years. One was in love and ran avoiding; and the other has no clue and feels betrayed. What could go wrong? Or maybe right? Where: Botanical Gardens When: August 2, 2020 @icarialex

Riding her skateboard through the botanical gardens had been Harley’s favorite pastime since she moved to the isle. No matter how many times she rode through, she still found something new to admire. It helped too that she used her ability to manipulate the earth to make sure the paths stayed smooth and well kept. It would be a shame for all of the work Persephone put into the sanctuary to be dimmed by crappy groundwork. That day she figured would be no different, but she nearly fell off her skateboard due to the sight of someone she didn’t expect to run into. It was dumb to not think that Eve wouldn’t eventually make her way to an island made just for demigods, but Harley liked to dream apparently. Even though it was bound to be uncomfortable, the idea of trying to run away without being caught didn’t even cross her mind. They had been best friends once after all, and the writer definitely deserved more than that. So, with a deep breath, she slowly skated towards where the woman was and stopped a few feet away. “Hey, Eevee,” she said awkwardly as she kicked up her board. Holding it would at least give her something to do with her hands.(edited)

...

It was weird being on the island; she had gone from living in a bustling city to moving to an island that was just a bit smaller than the city she had lived in -- but carried the population of the city block she had lived on. It was so quiet, so peaceful.... and so weird. She was used to parties till the sun came up, noise everywhere and people. Here while everyone was so different they all had one thing in common. They weren't human and that was probably the weirdest part of it all; the fact that they would all be here... together. It was ripe for story ideas. Eveleen had made a habit of going to one of the many parks or gardens whenever she needed to do some writing, and well, Icaria would be no different. So she made her way to the botanical gardens and found a bench near the middle, surrounded by trees and flowers, buzzing bees and butterflies all around and wrote. She was curled up a notebook in hand when she heard that familiar voice. Her whole body, including her breathing, froze. She swallowed hard as anger, confusion, hurt and longing slammed through her body. After what felt like an eternity but was really just a moment, she looked up and had a smile on her face. "Hey Harles--Harley" she said quickly correcting herself. Harley probably didn't want that level of a friendliness not after ghosting on her.

...

The change from the nickname to her name showed Eve’s displeasure, and it made Harley internally wince. She shouldn’t have expected any different though. It wasn’t like they’d left things on the best of terms. Harley wished more than anything that she could have stopped herself from catching feelings for her best friend. It was such a lesbian cliche. ”You look amazing,” she said easily. It helped to fill in the conversation, but it helped that it was such an easy thing to point out. Eve always looked so put together. ”How long do I have before you let me have it,” she asked in a shy voice. A fight was bound to happen, and what was worse was that none of the answers she was willing to give the woman would be enough. ”I have my will intact. Also, who in all the Gods told you to come to this isle now?” With demigods being kidnapped left and right from Icaria, she didn’t get people flocking to the area. They probably had more luck staying as spread out as possible.

...

Eveleen ran a hand through her hair as she closed her notebook and looked up to her old friend. Ex-friend? She wasn't sure what they were anymore. "Ah -- Thank you." she said her cheeks warming at the compliment. "You don't look so bad yourself." she added a second later. She glanced down to the grass and let her hand brush over its surface causing a small grape tree to form, already producing grapes. She plucked one off and then offered some others to Harley. "Diyonisus of course, told me to come here last year -- decided I didn't particularly want to for a while, then some demi was kidnapped where I lived and I figured I might as well. Though, I hear its actually worse here so thats.... fun." she mused avoiding the topic of letting Harley have it. She was having such a nice day and sure, she was mad and she wanted answers she wasn't about ready to just let Harley off the hook that easy.

...

”Blushing, huh” she teased lightly. That wasn’t something she’d ever been able to resist doing. Seeing a woman who could get so many panties to drop blush was just so satisfying. “Well, you know. I just age like fine wine. You’re a pro with the beverage, so it only makes sense you’d recognize.” Harley flexed a tiny bit and posed playfully just to further emphasize her point. ”It is worse now here,” she agreed. Having Eve on the isle would give her another person to keep an eye on and worry about. ”I came here about a year ago. Poseidon rarely pops in, but he pretty much ordered me to move here. It was really annoying,” she said with a roll of her eyes. The guy seriously liked to pick and choose when he wanted to parent. ”But as long as I can surf, board, and work with children I’m happy. Have you kept up with your surfing? I totally have a board that will fit you well.” If the fashion designer was okay avoiding the complications of their past, then Harley wasn’t going to argue. She didn’t like to go against the current anyway. There was no point in trying to push things that weren’t ready to come out yet.

...

She narrowed her eyes at the blonde and let out a huff. It was hard to get her to blush most of the time; she only really seemed to do such a thing when she actually liked the person she was talking to. Eve didn't want to like Harley right now, she wanted to be mad at her, to hate her; to not want to spend time with Harley. Harley had pushed her to the side and avoided talking to her for most of a year. She should be able to do the same. Should be able to not care but --- she couldn't. She couldn't stop caring about the blonde and it infuriated her. "How many people have gone missing in the past couple of months?" she asked as she popped another grape in her mouth. She needed to keep her hands busy. "I haven't really... Living in NYC made that a bit hard. I did little things here and there when I could but...." she let her voice trail off, the unspoken thoughts begging to slip out but it reminded me of you. "You have a board you're be willing to let me borrow?" she asked eyebrows shooting upwards.

...

The blushing has now been upstaged by adorable huffing ladies and gentlemen. “And the crowd roars,” Harley says playfully before making the sound of a crowd cheering lightly for extra effect. She sometimes wondered how she got away with acting such a way in public, but she figured the people that stuck around thought it was part of her charm. Keeping track of the people that had gone missing was quite the task since it seemed like someone was vanishing every week. After doing a quick count in her head, she replied, ”nine in the last month and half or so. If someone went missing where you were though, I’m glad you’re here. At least we are potentially more useful to keeping you safe than humans.” Not much given their latest track record, but the odds still had to be tipped in their favor. Not being able to resist Eve’s grapes for long, Harley finally took a few. She tossed one in the air, and then promptly caught it in her mouth with a smile. ”New York City, huh? I’ve always wanted to visit, but you know the sea keeps me away.” Which was the truth. While things had been awkward between them, she’d never avoid a city to not see Eve. ”Mhm! I actually added it to my collection because I thought it would be perfect for you,” she elaborated. Harley then pulled out her phone and scrolled through a few pictures before stopping at the one she wanted. ”Here, see? Tell me that isn’t your board.”

...

She plucked the whole bundle of grapes off the tree"I'm going to kick your ass" she muttered her hand tapping the small grape tree she had made and it instantly disappeared, a little bit of her anger showing through in doing so. she sucked in a long breath as Harley told her the number and she shook her head, brow furrowed. "Nine on an island of less than 300? I was living in New York City!" she explained, "18 million people, probably more demigods living within the city than here and as far as I knew only one had vanished, my odds were better there than here." she said with a shake of her head, math wasn't her strong suit but even she knew those odds. It was ridiculous to think they were safer here. But yet all their parents still insisted. "You could have visited for a day or so." she muttered bitterness lacing her words. She knew that she had told Harley multiple times over the past year and a half she had been living in NYC. Harley acting like she didn't remember, or maybe really had forgotten, just reminded her of how far they had drifted from being friends. "Why would you hold onto a board not knowing when or if you'd ever see me again?" she asked but then looked to the phone and at the photo of the board. It really was a board made just for her. A pastel-y pink with a seafoam blue center very much just screamed Eveleen.

...

The blonde arched her eyebrow at the woman and playfully jumped slightly up and down from side to side like boxers did to warm up. ”You wouldn’t, but I’ll play fight you anytime,” she answered instantly. Although, getting into a playful wrestling scenario with the woman probably wouldn’t be the greatest decision. ”You might have been safer there, but you’ll love it here eventually. The people are great, and you honestly can’t beat the waves.” Since Harley and other demigods could use their powers without fear, it allowed her and others to manipulate the water as they wanted. That pretty much guaranteed amazing surf conditions. ”I never doubted that I would see you again, Eevee,” Harley answered honestly. While she’d been vague and somewhat absent for some time, the blonde never intended for them their friendship to end. ”So yeah, I held onto the board. The real question is, are you just going to make passive aggressive remarks or actually get things off your chest? I mean, we’re in a botanical paradise. You couldn’t ask for a better backdrop.”

...

Eve narrowed her eyes at Harley and shook her head, "You don't know that, I might." she said and without a second thought created a vine behind the woman that acted on her whims, and smacked Harley's ass. It disappeared as fast as it appeared and Eve just smirked. "You'll lose" she said with a shrug, maybe it was a challenge, maybe it wasn't, it'd be up to Harley to figure that out. "It's so quiet here." she said simply, she was always itching for energy to be around those who tossed out more and more; Harley was the closest she had ever come to not needing to go to parties to fill fulfilled in her chaotic energetic party ways. She chewed over the idea of starting to surf again, it'd be nice to get out on the waves, to spend time in the ocean, to maybe -- No she couldn't let herself think of hanging with Harley until she got answers. Eve just gave Harley a look, narrowed eyes and a doubtful frown. "It's been years Harley." she said, "Do you really want me to get things off my chest? Because it may just be a lot of me yelling." she muttered, "Wouldn't you rather just avoid your problems?" Oh the sarcasm and venom it almost felt real.

...

A small shriek left Harley at the smack against her ass. The blonde arched an eyebrow at her counterpart because she honestly couldn’t believe she’d done that. ”Use your hands,” she challenged back. While Harley could use her powers too, the Earth could be a little too harsh. Last thing she wanted to do was hurt Eve. ”There is no way I’m bending rocks against you. I mean, I could use them to cuff you down, if you insist.” There was something so different about them in that moment. The tension that was bubbling between them made for an interesting dynamic. It was like they were subtly trying to see who would dominate which the blonde didn’t want to think too much about. ”It is, but there are spots to have fun too. Plus, you’ll make friends in no time. Who can say no to you?” Seriously, it was impossible. Eve was one of LA’s biggest panty droppers back in the day, and Harley doubted that had changed. ”See, that right there I don’t deal with. Yell, curse, I don’t care, but be direct with your insults. Don’t skirt around things because it literally solves nothing. So let’s go,” she said confidently.

...

It was hard not to smirk at the shriek and the comment, there were these small glimpses into their past, into the ways they used to be and it both infuriated her and made her smile. She wanted that back, she wanted Harley and her back to normal but -- she just lifted her shoulders in a nonchalant shrug a small smirk tugging at her lips as they spoke of cuffs and using their hands. "Make me" she retorted not backing down from Harley's stare. "Lots of people" she shrugged, she had never been able to get Harley despite trying over the years, that always seemed to be her luck too; girls she actually wanted didn't always fall into her wiles, but she didn't need to delve into that right then. "You left me." she said simply. "And I support you chasing your dreams and doing your thing but you abandoned me You claimed we were gonna be best friends forever, but I can count on one hand the number of times we've talked in the past year. Four. Four times Harely. Each were only a few texts back and forth before you just stopped replying." she squeezed her notebook tight between her hands causing her knuckles to go white. "So sure, sit here spout your bullshit about how you never doubted we'd see each other again. You stopped making an effort."

...

There was one person who could get under her skin in a second without even really trying, and she just so happened to be right in front of Harley. ”You don’t want to go there, Eevee,” she warned carefully. The memory of Eve kissing her when she was drunk instantly flashed behind her eyes along with how surprisingly dominant the woman had been in the exchange. That particular memory was not one she needed to have in that moment though, so she shoved it back down into the Pandora’s box it belonged in. ”I’ve rarely seen anyone be able to turn you down.” Throughout their whole friendship the woman had been able to get Harley to do anything she wanted. The word no had never been in the woman’s vocabulary when she had those deep brown eyes looking at her. ”I left,” she agreed. ”I never intended to leave you though. As for the past year, I have a reason, but it’s not one that I’m ready to share yet. Can you trust me enough to believe me when I say it’s a valid one?” There was no way Harley was ready to tell Eve that she’d left because she had been hopelessly in love with her, and the kiss they had shared that the woman didn’t even remember broke the last bit of her that had been able to remain untouched by the onslaught. That was just too much. ”My work got crazy because I decided to become a registered nurse anesthetist in pediatrics, and my mom was on a new kick of trying to mend our relationship. Still, those aren’t the real reasons just contributing factors.” Eve was angry which made sense since she’d always been too dense to realize the signs. She never noticed the little things Harley did to show she loved her, and therefore, had no idea just how much pain the blonde had put herself through.(edited)

...

The use of her nickname was the only thing that stopped her from snapping back, which stopped her from using her vines to poke at Harley a bit more. No one called her Eevee. Evie. Eve, Eveleen. Lee, Ev. Sure. But eevee the pokemon? That was only Harley. And hearing it after so long felt like a punch. So, she narrowed her eyes at Harley "Try me" she said. "You don't know where I want to go." Eve pressed, she was angry and wanted answers but also curious as to why Harley was acting as she was. "Rarely, but it still happens. I know how to get what I want, but there are people even I couldn't get to give me a kiss or crawl into bed with me." she mused with the quickest glance to Harley's eyes then lips before she looked back down at the grapes she had in her lap. She snorted and tossed a grape into the bush. there had been nothing wrong with it, but she was still angry. "Not ready to share why you abandoned your so-called-best friend?" she muttered just above a whisper as she shook her head. "Honestly? No, not really." she said as she pushed herself up from her seated position. "But that's fine. You've got yourself a life here, someone you do tell everything too, I'm sure, hell maybe even a girlfriend. Go vent to them after this about how much I've changed and how much of a bitch I am. It's fine. We'll just be cordial, and when you're ready to stop keeping secrets from me, you can tell me why you couldn't find five minutes once in a while to text me." she said slowly soothing her own anger from venom to a sad cool stream "I'm glad you're doing something you love and you're fixing things with your mom though.”

...

The two of them never fought when they were friends, so this was completely new territory. Both of them were challenging each other which was dangerous due to their stubborn nature. ”Why don’t you enlighten me then,” she asked back just as tensely. ”Where do you want this to go?” That was much easier than telling her she was getting oddly turned on by seeing the woman so angry and spunky. It was such an unusual version of Eve, and it wasn’t horrible even though she wasn’t a fan of being on the receiving end of it all. ”Name one,” she said in response to not being able to get someone to look at her or kiss her. Harley wanted to know just so she could find them and kick their ass for squandering that away. Although, perhaps they were like her and knew that all they could get from the woman was an amazing night, and that just wouldn’t be enough. ”Not ready to share with anyone,” she replied back quickly. Eve wasn’t a topic she touched with people. It was too painful to. ”If you’re thinking someone has replaced you here, you’re wrong. No one can even hold a candle to you in my life, so get off it. No girlfriend either. Also, when have I ever been able to call you a bitch? You’re the one ready to hurl insults and toss jabs here. I just told you to come out with it all in one go instead of every other sentence.” The venom she felt radiating off of the woman before her was painful, but she kept a brave face. Harley understood where it was coming from, but she also knew she wouldn’t be able to take it for too long. Either they found a way to table it until she was ready to talk, or the blonde would be doing a lot of avoiding. ”My mom is still batshit crazy, Eevee, that won’t change. She’s still with Jay though, and he’s kept her on her meds better than I ever could, so it’s better.”

...

She let out a little breath and shook her head, “Depends, where were you thinking it was going to go?” she asked letting another vine come up and smack Harley’s ass once more before turning into a pile of grapes on the floor. She hoped that her vine was enough of an answer to the question without her having to actually say anything. She snorted a laugh at the request to name one,”Oh I don’t know.. Let’s see, she’s blonde, spunky, really loves the ocean, was my roommate for years and who I flirted with non-stop and yet… I could never get anything from it.” she said crossing her arms over her chest. Eve pursed her lips biting the corner of it slightly as Harley spoke on her not being replaced. She found that so hard to believe, that no one had caught her eye either as a girlfriend, or that Harley hadn’t collected another best friend. She was friendly enough to. “No one can hold a candle but you can’t send me more than a couple texts a year. I pity to think of how you treat your other friends if I’m your best one. And I worry for any girlfriend you get, but then again, maybe you’d spend all your time doting on her it wouldn’t matter and we wouldn’t even know.” she grumbled, she knew Harley was a sweetheart, she knew the girl loved her friends, but she couldn’t let this go and she couldn’t get past the pit in her stomach. But there it was, that infernal nickname, the one that would always catch her off guard and make her pay attention. “Still with Jay, damn, that’s good. I’m glad he’s keeping her a bit more stable. She deserves that in life.”

...

Another shriek as a fine connected with her ass which led to her glaring at the woman ahead of her. Blue eyes closed as Harley tried to count to ten. She’d been on the receiving end of Eve’s flirtations before, but never had they held the anger behind them as well. ”I asked you first, and use your words. They communicate better than your vines.” Spanking was something the blonde would be fine with, but not from plants. That was just rude and really freaking painful. The description Eve provided of the girl she could never get made the nurse’s heart momentarily stop. Fate was honestly so cruel. Years later, and then she got the writer to admit something. ”That blonde didn’t want just one night,” she answered back but not quite as confidently. That all still hurt her to talk about which was why Eveleen was a rather taboo topic in her life. ”You’re such a pain in the ass. I’m saying that no one will ever be you. And drop the girlfriend lines. You’re just working yourself up more, and you’re pissed off enough as it is. Plus, it seems I have a knack for growing feelings for women with commitment issues anyway.” Honestly, it was probably something she should work on. That attraction obviously didn’t mesh well with her. Although, she’s gaining more traction with Aida than she had with Eve considering the woman didn’t even notice Harley’s advances in California. ”He’s thinking of proposing, so I may have a wedding to attend sooner rather than later.”

...

Eve couldn’t help but smirk, “Ah but my vines can spell things too” she said letting one crawl up her arm and it spelt out the word flirting before seemingly dissolving into her skin. She sucked in a long breath and frowned, her brow furrowing as she did so. The idea that Harley had wanted more than just one night hadn’t been something that had really crossed her mind -- because Harley had never really shown much interest in the first place. At least not -- obviously to her. “More than just that night?” she asked, cocking her head to one side, she sucked in a long breath, eyes darting back and forth as she looked at the floor. “Am I?” she asked somewhat deadpan, both in answer to being a pain in the ass and working herself up. “I mean obviously there’s someone there for you to make a comment like that.” she smiled, it was a slightly broken sad smile. She wanted her friend to be happy, but the idea of Harley dating someone else -- irked her. She bit her lip but nodded her head. “Well, that will be fun. I’m sure you’ll be adorable in a bridesmaids dress. Hopefully not a hideous one.” she paused, “Though, knowing you, you’d still make it cute.”

...

When a vine appeared yet again, Harley honestly almost flinched because she did not want to get hit again, but quickly shifted her attention to try to make out what was being spelled. When she realized what it was, an eyebrow arched before a small laugh escaped her lips. ”You’re mad at me but want to flirt with me? That sends a bit of a mixed message, don’t you think?” The mood swings could give Harley whip lash. Still, if she wasn’t careful, Harley knew it would be easy for her to fall back into old patterns. Patterns that had left her heart aching for any attention from the actress by the end. ”Mhm. Could I have responded to your flirting and taken things further one night? Yes. Did I want to sometimes? Yes, but I didn’t just want one night with you or a friends with benefit situation. That’s why nothing happened.” Apparently Eve was still clueless to her feelings which drove her slightly mad. She didn’t understand how the woman could be that oblivious. Was she just so used to women fawning over her that she thought some things were normal? If so, what a life. ”You are,” she said with a nod. ”That would be what you took from that sentence,” she said with a slight shake of her head. The compliment was unexpected, but still made Harley smile. ”That’s because I can make almost anything work, but I think pink ruffles would be my demise.”

...

Eveleen lifted one shoulder in a shrug, “Angry flirting can be fun.” she said as she popped one of the grapes she had made earlier into her mouth. She wasn’t even sure why she was doing it and hearing that the resident therapist had been taken by the minotaur? Well she guessed she wouldn’t be figuring that out any time soon. Too bad. She let out a long breath and ran a hand through her hair tossing the wavy hair all to one side. “You know you could have talked to me” she said before popping another grape into her mouth as her stomach dropped out of her at the idea that they could have had more over the years. It had never been a thought that Harley could like her as more than just friends; she had never … really had a true friend that hadn’t just been after her family’s money, or hell, her own money. “If it wasn’t something on your mind you wouldn’t have even mentioned it, means someone is lingering in that pretty blonde head of yours. Someone caught your eye.” she said, eating another grape. “I’d pay decent money to see you in a pink ruffle dress. Maybe I’ll just text your mom that it would be the best to put you in one.” she smirked, “If only just to try it on for the wedding, maybe not as her final choice. But yanno, get her to take a picture and send it to me.”

...

”I prefer teasing flirting, but that’s just me,” she said with a shrug. Although, that was dangerous to voice out loud because the woman was the biggest tease Harley had ever known. The blonde put her skateboard flat on the floor before moving to take a seat on it and shrugged her shoulders. That was easy in theory, but actually talking to Eve about it was terrifying. ”What was the point, Eevee?” She’d seen first hand how many girls the woman loved partying with and taking home. That had never been Harley’s scene. ”I made it so clear, Eevee. Didn’t you notice I didn’t treat any other person the way I did you? Do you think it’s a coincidence that I didn’t have a girlfriend even though you know I’m the type who loves commitment?” Harley didn’t understand what the point of voicing her desire was when it was obvious nothing that she did was being seriously reciprocated. Having concrete rejection instead of just reading signals wasn’t something she needed. ”Eevee, I’m single. I’ve been single for awhile. Tried dating someone once, but it didn’t last very long.” She didn’t get why the woman was so focused on it, but she’d clarify if it would make the fashion designer less cranky. She was always up for making someone happier. ”Don’t you dare,” she threatened. ”My mom loves you and probably would. Plus, you know I don’t listen to my mother. That won’t get me in the dress it would just make me have to deal with a lot of pestering from my mom.”

...

Their shift in heights and positions, the flip of who was sitting vs who was standing, paired with the nickname once more made her pause for a moment. She chewed on her bottom lip as she watched Harley. Eveleen let out a long huff and shrugged her shoulders, she didn’t quite get what Harley was getting at as she started talking. She furrowed her brow and sucked in her bottom lip as she thought about the past, about what their past was like. “I didn’t… try and pay close attention to how you treated others, beyond that you were nice and friendly to them all....” she said with a little frown “Besides, you were literally the first person I lived with outside of my parents and the first real friend I ever made. I don’t really know how friends are supposed to act if I’m being totally honest. I mean --” she let out a little sigh trailing off, that was a whole can of worms she had never spoke about to anyone. “ Finding someone you jive with, though, can take time and even if you’re a commitment type person that doesn’t mean you just stumble upon someone you actually want to date for any length of time.” she said and rubbed the back of her neck. She rolled her eyes at Harley’s comment and crossed her arms over her chest. “I guess, I just have such a hard time imaging you’ve stayed single when you’ve live on this island paradise with how gorgeous some of the girls are here.” but at the mention of Harley’s mother she laughed, “You may not listen to your mother but a bride you can’t deny the bride…. If she wanted you in a cute frilly dress you can’t lie to me and say that you wouldn’t try it on for her.”

...

”It wasn’t my intention to have feelings for you,” Harley said carefully after hearing Eve speak. ”Not because I wouldn’t want to, but I really did just plan on being your best friend. Still, even when I did want more with you, I never cared about any of the other stuff that came with you. The money, power associated with your mother, power that will soon be your own, or any of that stuff. None of that has ever mattered to me,” she explained honestly. Even though Eve never spoke about it, Harley had noticed how people clamored to her because of her mother’s status. She’d gotten a small taste of it, so she could only imagine how it had been before. ”For reference though, I have more boundaries with my friends. I don’t go out of my way to see them whenever I can, bring them coffee, take them out to dinner at fancy restaurants I could never afford without saving for weeks, or pretend to accidentally get to close to the corner of their lips when I kiss their cheeks. That was all just for you.” Explaining it all was making Harley’s stomach bottom out to her shoes, and she just wished she could have run away from it all just a little longer. She knew she’d eventually she’d have to face the music, but the blonde had hoped she’d have a little more time. At least enough for her heart to stop doing the thing where it wanted to literally beat out of her chest whenever Eve was around. ”I lived on California constantly next to the most beautiful and talented British woman for years and stayed single. That experience comes in handy.” A sigh escaped her lips at Eve’s logic, and she hated that the woman was right. It was just downright annoying. ”Eevee, don’t do that to me. It’s just mean,” she said with a pout.

...

Eve froze mid-movement at the word feelings, her eyes darting to the blonde as a vine snaked up her leg. Nervousness sparked it to life and it touching her leg -- literally grounded her. Reminded her that things were real. She sucked in a long breath as Harley spoke of literally every fear Eve had had about people liking her, about friendships she had made over the decades of her life. She had almost no real friends, no real people that didn’t want her for just her mother’s influence or sway. Hell, she could count them on one hand if she really wanted to and as of right now she knew two of them were on the isle. Her brain felt like it was short-circuiting, feelings? Friendships? not being used? It was a lot for her to take in and actually process. Her mouth opened slightly and she let out a little breath. She was unsure of what even to say to Harley at that moment. “I’m just gonna be honest here… I -- literally don’t know what to say to all that other than -- uh.. I need time to process.” she sucked in her bottom lip and forced herself to keep her feet planted instead of moving back, moving away from the idea that Harley cared for her that much. “But um” she swallowed and blinked a couple of times trying to recenter herself. “Maybe… I’ll be nice and not make your mom do that..” she glanced down at the vine wrapped around her leg and willed it away.

...

The blonde watched as the wheels started going into overdrive in the writer’s mind, and barely withheld the sigh when she knew what was coming. Although, she was surprised to notice that Eve didn’t run away from the situation all together. The fact that she hadn’t made it better than the worst case scenario she had imagined in her head whenever she thought about discussing her feelings. When Eve did finally speak, Harley managed a small smile and nodded her head. “Take all the time you need,” she answered honestly. “I’m not going anywhere, and I’m never hard to find. I can give you my address, or if you just go to the beach for long enough, I’m sure you’ll find me. Well, unless I’m working.” Her schedule changed from week to week, so she couldn’t really outline that for the woman, but she still wasn’t that hard to locate. Plus, her number hadn’t changed either. “That would be nice. If you’re nice, I’ll dress up in something ridiculous for you one day. Although, I’m sure you’ll want to redo my wardrobe first. We can talk about that later though if you want me to roll out. I don’t want to overwhelm you or anything.” While Harley was feeling slightly deflated about putting her feelings out there and getting such a grey response, she didn’t like making anyone feel uncomfortable. All she ever wanted was for the people she cared about be happy.

...

Eve nodded her head at Harley's assurance it was okay if she took some time to process. Either way she would take the time, but knowing Harley understood that she was overwhelmed by this all? It lifted a small bit of weight from her shoulders. She swallowed hard and nodded once more "I uh -- whatever you like more. If you want me to come by when I'm more -- mentally prepared for this I can just text me your address." she said and licked her lips trying to calm herself down. She needed a drink, or to get high, she wasn't sure which would be of more use right now. Maybe talking to one of her siblings would do the trick... But at the mention of dressing up for her she chuckled, she'd love to get Harley into some ridiculous clothes just for fun. "Depends on how your wardrobe looks." she shrugged, "I'd have to see your closet." she swallowed, fashion. Fashion was easy to talk about, fashion distracted her from her sweaty palms, her pounding heart and her racing mind. It calmed her breathing, kept her from hyperventilating. Was this another panic attack threatening to rear its ugly head? Maybe. Space. She needed to go. "I -- no, it's fine, stay, enjoy the park. I have to go meet up with Vera anyways." she waved her hand and a small grape vine grew from the ground, "Enjoy some grapes." she said before taking a step back, "I'll... I'll talk to you soon" Eveleen said with a smile before she strolled off -- taking deep breaths to calm the panic that was still rising in her gut.

Liverpool of the West

Ed Denson, Berkeley Barb, 15 September 1967

San Francisco is being called the Liverpool of the West or something like that because it is presently the creative center of the new music which is coming onto the charts.

This week 3 of the top fifty Ip’s in the country are by San Francisco groups and there are 2 other Fresno Ip’s in the top 200. Everywhere in New York’s music industry they speak of the San Francisco groups, and yet there is something a little strange going on which probably points to something else which is happening.

If I had to define the essence of the Frisco sound to people, and I do often here when someone in a suit will look at me and say “just what is the Frisco sound anyway, I don’t understand this new music” I think of the endless flickering evenings I have spent in the Avalon and the Fillmore listening to walls of dark pulsing electric blues cooking with interminable guitar solos, musicians wavering back and forth as they play to a darkened hall half filled with entranced hippies watching glassy eyed and half cauldrons of energy where whirling dancers bodies become molten and flowing as the music meets their minds; and I say, “It is a new development of blues with some of the rhythms stretched, and a great deal of improvisation” and subside into a silence as the echos sound in the back of my consciousness.

“The Frisco sound is the Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Steve Miller,” I say, “ drawing on the blues of Muddy Waters and Paul Butterfield who were the first to show it could be done, and done today.

“Above all I think of Frisco as the blues, a development of a tradition which began in the flat Delta of the Yazoo in Mississippi, nfoved to the slums of Chicago with the northward flight of the country negroes, and thru a gigantic cosmic coincidence was found meaningful in Liverpool and San Francisco when the people there needed a music.

And then I smile and say to myself, “yes, you understand it. The Frisco sound is blues, a new and exciting, almost intellectual blues, but basically blues” and God knows that Butterfield, Bloomfield, the Animals, Canned Heat, Cream, Cotton, Dead, Buddy Guy, Yardbirds, Junior Wells, Jimi Hendricks, Blues Project, Siegal Schwall, Howling Wolf, Steve Miller, The Stones, Johnny Hammond, and Big Brother are all blues bands.

And God knows that they are all very successful blues bands who can play the new psychedelic circuits from Boston to D.C., from Vancouver to Los Angeles; for serious proper New Yorkers’ sipping ice cream sodas at the Go-Go and the wild hippies at the Avalon and the Fillmore; and their records even those from the heavy bands which get no airplay, sell respectable amounts and they appear at Expo and the State Department ships them around the world. Yes, yes, its true, and I think of it and feel that I am right in what I have said to the suit in New York.

Except for one thing. The Three Frisco groups that are on the top 50 of this week’s Billboard charts of best selling pop records, are not blues bands, and if what I have said to the suit is correct, in some sense they are not central to the Frisco sound either. Moby Grape is perhaps closest to a blues band, but the Fish and the Airplane are not at all.

The Grape is a shooting star, you blink and you are not certain that they exist at all. They spent little time in Frisco actually, or anywhere else that I can put my finger on, but they got one of the most fantastic promotion jobs imaginable with literally tens of thousands of dollars spent lifting them from obscurity to their present status in a hurry.

The Airplane is a rock band, they mix pop with hard rock, and a little of something else; and the Fish seem a little more undefinable and yet certainly they are more pop than blues. It is their something else, and the Airplane’s something else, and perhaps the Grape's something else ihat have made the difference.

The present popularity of the blues is the result of a cosmic coincidence, an accidental crossing of cultural lines of force, and it is not likely to live long after those lines cease to cross. You can see the lines by looking at the present blues bands: there are the “real” bands, the southside Chicago Negro bands who have played basicly the same music since they moved north and invented it in the early fifties, playing in the crowded clubs ol the ghetto and periodically renewing themselves with road tours of the Negro South.

It is their music, it means something to them and to their original audience which it does not mean to me, or the bulk of its presenl audience. The associations are not there, it is a tremendous intellectual effort to ferret out the meanings of the verses, even the surface associations are not present.

Just what is a mojo hand? what does it look like? what does it feel like to buy one in Louisiana and to move among the women knowing that your mojo means tha any of them are yours if you wan them, and wondering if it wil really make you invisible so you can steal, and what do you owe the mojo factory for it? I don’ know any more than a southside Negro could know what it was like to go off to the Western Front for the Kaiser'with a copy of Nietzsche in his back pocket.

The second wave of blues bands are the English, who seem to have taken the music as top forty material from the records that were brought to port by sailors and played it in the basement clubs in Liverpool or later London because it was the sort of thing tha everyone wanted to hear.

The early Stones imitations of Slim Harpo, and the Beatles copies of Chuck Berry seem to be a sort of nostalgia for the old radio hits certainly that was the reaction that they aroused in many hippy hearts in the mid sixties; the good ok stuff that they don’t play anymore, reminds me of high school and my early life; then they seized it and moved into their own ways of thinking and expressed contemporary England and its problems.

Who knows whose daughter runs off with someone from the motor trade, and what do all those farmyard sounds mean to an Englishman? And when those guys burn their equipment in an orgiastic destruction who in their American audience was a part of Dada?

The Beatles have once again become Englishmen with their new record, and we will have to be also to hear it all, and I imagine that the others will follow suit. Anyway the nostalgia is gone now, now that someone has played like the fifties and then moved on, the desire to hear someone else play like that is extinguished.

And the third wave of blues bands were the hippies, and they played blues for just the opposite reason that the Englishmen did, and for a reason not connected with southside Chicago, they played blues because it was not rock and roll, and so not corrupt. For the hippies used to be the people who listened to folk music . . . did you ever hear that one about the monkees in a cage who all got splashed by their keeper everytime one of them reached for a banana, and they would put a new monkee in the cage and he would reach, and all the others would kick the shit out of him so that he wouldn’t get them splashed, and everytime they put one in they took one out until finally they had a cage full of monkees who had not ever been splashed but who kicked the shit out of each new monkee that reached just the same.

Thats the position of the hippy who validly asserts that he never listened to folk music . . . because it was not corrupt rock and roll, and because in its protest phase it began to express the things that they were concerned with. They went electric just when the southside Chicago bands had just been admitted to the number of the untainted after years of people saying that they were too much like rock to be real; and there was this civil rights generation empathy for the Negro and his life.

All of this has changed. The Negro is going to lose his position among the hippies because black power seems frightening and unpleasant, and unsafe for the white hippy, and it probably is; the civil rights movement is about over, just as the fifties rock nostalgia is over, and the line between rock and hip music is very blurry with three hip bands in the top fifty along with the Beatles, Stones, and Dylan. The non-musical attraction which the blues had among the middle class whites are no longer realities in the young middle class mind.

The hip groups, the Frisco groups which are making it, and inevitably setting the path that the others who are going to be successful will follow, are not blues bands, they are something else.

They write their own songs, for the most part. This is the key, because their own material is more in tune with their audiences’ mind than old blues. The Airplane, have had tremendous success with their second lp, due in great part to the two singles which became hits from it: “Don't You Want Somebody to Love”, and “White Rabbit”, both of which strike themes, obviously intensely meaningful to the audience which they, like all of these bands, must reach, the 18-30 year old hippies, bohemians, and uncommitted college students.

“Love” is about the pains of emotional isolation, “Rabbit” is about acid, unless I hear incorrectly, and these are themes that neither the southside blues band nor even the English, until very lately, could get into.

“Bass Strings” or “Sweet Lorraine” by the Fish have the same quality: the treatment of grass, and intellectual chicks, is not something the Negro or English bands could have written because they do not share the experiences. The very successful bands are beginning to express a particularly modern-white-middle-class-American consciousness—one which their audience is most interested in, since it shares it, just as its fathers share the whisky consciou-ness problems which Sinatra sings of.

Now that the Airplane, Fish, and Grape have discovered that a vast audience shares their consciousness, there is no return possible. There is no cold calculation about it, it is a cultural fact.

Would you watch a leading college student be introduced to LBJ on NBC; how about a hippy being introduced to LBJ on LSD on NBC? Nothing calculating about it, its just that one will pick an experience with which one can identify.

I ought to close this letter with a prediction after so much analysis, doubtless I who have toured the 42nd parallel with the Fish and been exposed to many hours of other bands, can take this experience and mingle it with my sharp powers of mind, and predict which bands will be great in the future.

But no, outside of Frisco most of the bands sound very much like the Yardbirds, and that will have to change if they are going to make it; a few sound like white Motown but they are always doing black Motown material. Nothing promising there.

Among the Frisco bands who are not well known I can't predict because I’ve been out of the scene for over a month: Mad River and Mother Earth seemed promising, the former for its songs, the later for Tracy Nelson's singing, but lord only knows what changes have gone down since I left. Thats it, can you dig it?

How much is the average car insurance if I'm 18?

Why did my car insurance go up instead of down after i turned 25?

In November I turned 25 years old. I've always been told the two good things about turning 25 is that I can rent a car for cheaper and I will have cheaper auto insurance. I was excited about this. But when I turned 25, my insurance went up. When I turned 18, my insurance was $80 a mo. I have had insurance since then, I have nothing on my record (never had a speeding ticket, nothing). I've always payed bills on time, and since I was 23 I had full coverage. I've had the same car since I was 23 which is a newer model and nothing has changed with my driving info since I was 23. At age 23 and 24 my insurance went up to $130 a month with full coverage, the same car, nothing on my record, etc... But on my 25th birthday, I went in to renew my insurance. Now since I turned 25, my insurance went up to $210 a month. The woman who gave me my quote said she was unsure why my insurance went up instead of down since I had nothing on my record and I am a valuable customer. She was really confused and has never seen auto insurance go up instead of down when someone turns 25 unless they have something on their record. i payed the price but they are investigating it but as of right now, they don't have any answers. Does anyone know why it went up?""

Car insurance question...?

If you have insurance on a car, is the car covered in a wreck no matter who's driving it?""

How much is my car insurance going to cost a month?!?

I'm turning 16 and my parents said I could get any car I want, but they won't do it if the insurance is crazy. I really want a 2015 BMW Z4 sDrive35i. I have a feeling that the insurance for a first year driver for a sports car (and convertible) is going to be sky high! I don't want a quote from State Farm or anything, I'm just trying to price it out. Any ideas? Help! Thanks!""
