Groovy Tunes, Saturday

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie was sorry to be stuck inside today-- it was way too nice out-- but at least she had the new Barry Plodder to read while she was at work. The kittens frolicked, and U2 and Fiona Apple played on the speakers.

Groovy Tunes was open.

"Turtle?" Charlie stared, completely floored. "Wait. Are you Jeff?"

Okay, Turtle had said he was British, she should have thought of that sooner, but... whoa. "I'm her best friend. Here on the island, at least."

"I don't think I'm allowed to speak to you, then," Jeff said, "Although I'm not entirely certain. It all gets a bit confusing."

"You're not allowed to speak to me because I'm friends with Turtle, or because of the thing where I'm allowed to hurt you? Which I don't get, but..." Charlie shook her head, thinking spaz! Turtle is dating the King of the Spazzes! and said, "Do you still want to buy those CD's?"

"Best friends and sisters," Jeff replied automatically, "That's not the bit that's confusing." Now he didn't know whether or not he could actually look in the general vicinity of Charlie's breasts, but the face might be hazardous territory as well. He focused on the back wall instead.

"Er," he stared down at the CD's, "...Are these recent?"

Charlie couldn't help giggling at this point, and said, "Yes, they are. All of them came out in the last three years." She grinned at him, even though he was staring over her shoulder at the poster of Josie and the Pussycats. "We've got their CD too," she said, pointing behind her. "The blonde one, that's Melody. She owns the store."

"Oh," Jeff said. She kind of looked like a woman off the Ten Most Likely To Take Their Clothes Off on Camera List of 1986. Maybe a bit of Britt Ekland, too. Awh, now he couldn't look at her without getting flashes of the full Walkabout. He quickly looked somewhere else. He was running out of things to look at.

"No, no, that's all right, I wouldn't want to, er, walkabout," he stammered, "Or anything. Not quite the time. For stores, and, them being everywhere. That's, that's fine."

"Walkabout? Isn't that an Australian thing?" Charlie asked, ringing up the CD's. "That's handwavey price. Are you sure I can't help you find something else?" She grinned a little. She could *kind of* see why Turtle liked him. Kind of. Although hopefully he was a bette conversationalist with Turtle.

"Well, you never know when you'll see the full Walkabout, don't you?" Oh, for heaven's sake. "...I mean, those Australians are fairly unpredictable. You never know when they'll decide to..." Jeff paused, snatching up his CD's and throwing some money on the counter in a nervous fashion, "...Pull it all off, you know?"

Re: Talk to Charlie

"Um?"

Charlie looked at the money, wondering if it was safe to touch. "Okay. I'll tell Turtle you said hi?"

"Okay," Jeff said, and fled the store as fast as humanely possible.

Not backwards, this time. His back was very grateful.
