Electra looked up as Xavier, Mike, Sam and Adam returned backstage from the first concert of their tour. They were only going to be doing the USA and Canada for the time being on account of Electra being pregnant.
“Have fun?” She asked.
“Lemme check,” Xavier replied, then he gave his armpit a sniff. “Wow, that’s powerful! I think that’s a definite yes.”
“Umm… oookay…” Verity said, giving him a strange look.
“Don’t mind him,” Mike put in. “He’s just forgotten to take his medication this morning.”
“Yeah. Xavier, what have we told you about your medication?” Adam asked as if talking to a child.
“Umm,” Xavier replied, taking on a childish voice. “That it must be forwarded on to the cops on account of the fact that dealing drugs is illegal?”
Electra giggled.
“Say, where’s Mel?” asked Sam.
“Oh she…” Electra frowned for a moment, then looked at Verity.
“She went to get coffee,” Verity replied. “With your production assistant… Greg?”
“Yes, that’s his name,” Electra confirmed. “See? You are remembering people’s names.”
“It won’t last long,” Verity laughed. “I’m so bad with names.”
“Just as long as you don’t forget Brett’s,” Mike said.
“Who?” she asked innocently, then groaned. “Oh no, I have been hanging around certain Hansons way too much.”
“Really?” Xavier inquired. “Which ones?”
Everyone stared at him.
“What? Why are you all looking at me for? Is there broccoli caught in my teeth? Is there a booga coming out my nose? Did one of those bras land on my head, and it’s been there all this time without me noticing?”
“You married him,” Adam said to Electra.
“Yeah, I know,” Electra smiled.
“I mean, they say you can’t choose your family, but when it comes to marriage, I believe you can.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“And you still married Xavier.”
“Yep.”
“Sometimes, Electra, I think you need Xavier’s medication more than he does.”
Electra laughed.
