Title: Wizard of the Bandom:Kansas
A/N:I'm posting this in small parts to get it to you all faster....
"Come on, one night..just watch him while I'm at the the interview, make sure he doesn't eat anyone's shoes or poop in someone's bunk?"
"Why is he even on tour with you?"
Pete bends down and smushes Hemingway's face, speaking then a that weird baby voice pet owners use, " 'Cause then little Hemmy would've been so lonely! Isn't that right Hemmy, Isn't that right?" Hemingway snorted and pawed Pete's hand away.
Mikey quirks an eyebrow and sighs, giving in, "Fine Pete...I'll watch Hemmy for you tonight...but only because you'll owe me." Pete laughed obnoxiously while picking Hemingway up and practically throwing him into Mikey's arms. He then proceeded to lean in and let the dog lick his face as he said his goodbyes. Mikey looked down at the heavy, wiggly, smelly dog in his arms, "I'm not really gonna watch you...I'll just get Frank to do it, he loves your kind...stop making me talk to you, you are a dog."
Mikey let Hemingway run around the My Chem bus while he asked Frank, well bribed mostly, to look after the puppy. Currently Gabe Saporta and half of his band were playing Donkey Konga with Ray and Bob. Apparently, Hemingway loves bright lights, music, and clapping becasue he was sitting very still and watching them play....that was just fine with Mikey.
"Come on, you love dogs! Just watch him for me."
"yeah, but it's Pete's...so, make it worth my trouble MIkeyway."
"I'll give you ten bucks and let you borrow two of my CDs if you watch Pete's dog."
"Make it three CDs and it's a deal." Mikey rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." Mikey went to texting Alicia on his sidekick. There was suddenly a loud girlish shriek, surprisingly it came from an actual female. Vicky was standing, looking ready to strike as Hemingway innocently chewed on her shoe.
"GET WENTZ' DOG OFF OF MY SHOE! THESE ARE BRAND NEW FLATS AND I WAS GOING TO WEAR THEM TONIGHT!" She positively seethed. This is possibly the number one reason Mikey was pawning the job off on Frank. Frank, whom had disappeared between the scream and the more screaming. Mikey just shrugged, and Vicky attempted to wrestle the shoe away from Hemmy, which the dog took as her trying to play with him.
After lots of floor rolling and tugging, among cat calls from Gabe and Ryland, she pulled free the soggy, tooth-marked shoe from the dog's mouth. She held it up in disgust before glaring straight at Hemingway, and then at Mikey.
"These shoes cost me two days worth of food money..." Gabe opened his mouth to make a quip, but Vicky hushed him before he got a syllable out. She silently walked, slightly limping with only one shoe on, to the door of the bus before turning around to menacingly say, "I'll get you for this Mikey...and Pete's little dog too."
Immediately after slamming the door, Ryland and Gabe stood and went after her, Gabe huffing and Ryland saying, "We had to let her make her dramatic exit or she gets pissed at us too."
Mikey glared down at Hemingway who just tilted his head to the side and wagged his tail.
