Ebony&Ivory-Chapter 4

Luke: *is in the studio, listening to the music the musicians have played*

Illust: *she hears them n sneaks ovr to watch*

Luke: I like it so far. *Luke is 3 songs into his sophomore album*

*the new album will be composed of 11 original tracks and two covers*

Quincy: *turns the music off* Reminds me of 1982 all over again

Illust: *sits in a corner as she is an expert in going into plcs without being noticed n listens in*

Quincy: I tell you what, Luke. You are an awful lot like him...well, a younger him

Luke: Who?

Quincy: The man on your shirt

Luke: *looks down and sees his Michael shirt* Really? *Sees Illust* Oh! Illust!

Illust: *smiles n came out of the corner*

Luke: *puts his young niece in his lap. He got the results from the test...and it's 100% accurate. Luke has a niece8

Illust: *sees Quincy n smiles at him in a greeting manner*

Quincy: *The elderly man smiles at her* nice to meet you, young lady. *looks up to Luke* She's cute

Luke: Thanks

Tom: Illust? Illust, where are u? *he was looking after Illust wen she sneaked out on him...again*

Luke: She's over with me, Tom!

Tom: Oh, thank god. You little rascal, running out on me again. C'mon. Your uncle is busy

Illust: *stuck her tongue out at him n held onto Luke tight*

Luke: It's okay.

Quincy: Time to record the main vocals. *Gets ready*

Luke: *puts his niece down* Okay, time for work. *gets into the vocal booth*

Illust: *sits at the chair beside Quincy n watched Luke work*

Tom: *stands beside her to keep watch*

Quincy: *turns on the music and gives Luke his que*

Luke: *Starts singing the verses of the song. This is the first time Illust saw Luke sing in person*

Illust: *listens to every word, happy to finally hear him sing so up close ever since she could only hear him frm afar outside the stage bk then*

Quincy: *nods his head to the beat of the song*

Luke: *boogies a bit to an interlude and then resumes singing the song*

Illust: *laughs n claps her hand at his stunt*

Luke: *finishes his session* how was that?

Quincy: Right in the pocket!

Illust: *cheered for him*

Luke: Backing vocals time

Quincy: 1...2...*turns the song back on*

Illust: *hummed along with the song, although rather badly*

Quincy: *smiles at the little girl and pats her head*

Tom: She still can't talk properly. All she does is laugh, squeal, scream n draw pictures n use facial expressions to communicate

Quincy: *picks her up and puts her on his lap* I heard what happened to her...she's been tramatized

Tom: Yes, tht's wat the doc's confirmed. I'd love to find out who the perp is n bash his head in for doing this lil' girl

Luke: *finishes his session and walks out of the booth*

Quincy: All done?

Luke: Yea, I'm done for now. I'm gonna take a break. Wanna come, Illust?

Illust: *nods n got off Quincy's lap*

Tom: *follows behind*

Quincy: *Goes back to listening over the music*

Illust: *held onto Luke's end of the shirt n followed him*

Luke: *takes Illust into the dance room, where he practices his dance moves, goes to the stereo and plays some 80s dance music. He starts practicing*

Illust: *looks up to him, surprised. She knocks on the mirror to catch his attention n wrote on her notepad "BREAK?"*

Luke: WEll, a break from singing.

Illust: *smiles n watch him dance*

Luke: *he does a spin and then does MJ's signature move...the moonwalk*

Illust: *gasped n gaped in awe*

Luke: *the young singer does his little routine a bit more*

Illust: *watches him do his thing, mesmerized by the fact tht she could see all this up close n personal, n thought how lucky she was*

Luke: *does one more spin and stops himself, bowing before his audience*

Illust: *squeals happily n claps her hands with glee*

Luke: Thank you, thank you

*BEfore he could act, Anita came in with a tabloid paper*

Luke: Anita, what's wrong?

Anita: *rushes to him* You cannot believe this. It's scandalous! *shows him the tabloid*

Luke: *takes the tabloid from her and looks at it* What the hell is this

*the headline reads: MJ HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF THROUGH HIS SUCCESSOR?*

Luke: What's that suppose to mean? *Starts reading the article, starts to get angry* Damn that Majah... *shows Tom the article*

Tom: *reads the article* This is definitely scandalous. Shall I "take care" of it for you, sir?

Illust: *knew wat tht meant n grabbed Tom's sleeve, shaking her head*

Luke: *drops the article and covers his face with his hands* I'm only 16...and they're picking on me. There's only one way to clear this up

Illust: *comes up to him n stroke his bk, whining worriedly*

Tom: What is it, sir? Name it n it will be done

Luke: An interview

Tom: Interview? With whom?

Luke: Good question. Who is the best and most honest out there?

Anita: Ah, I think I knw someone who do the job. I just need to make a call. Excuse me *leaves the room*

Luke: *waits for her to come back* Wonder who she knows that could clear up this mess

Anita: *comes bk after the call* Well, I managed to get a reliable person to do the interview

Luke: Who did you manage to get, Anita?

Anita: My nephew...I mean, my niece Sam. *sighs* I still can't get ovr the fact tht he's done a sex-change

Luke: *Shrugs his shoulders* Doesn't matter to me at all
