Author’s Note: You will notice a put a few Star Wars references in Jammy D’s dialogue. That is because the real Jammy is a big fan of the Star Wars films along with tons of other sci-fi films. Either way, I thought you should know. This is a direct sequel to Rock N’ Roll Boy and the first of many to come.

THE MAD MUSIC MESS

A Vanja’s World story by Scott D. Harris

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scene 1
Simon and Rob strummed their fingers over the delicate strings of their guitars and John’s drumsticks met the thick skin of the kit. It was a new gig for ‘Scott Rave & the Jackers’, and it was coming to its end. Vanja was seated in the front row of the audience, smiling widely as Scotty began to sing, his usual clothes now complemented by a long, black coat with the sleeves cut off.

Vanja closed her eyes as she listened to them playing. She then heard metal footsteps and looked towards someone standing at the edge of the stage. He was clad in a beige T-Shirt, baggy, dusty jeans, black boots with steel toe caps and a red hoodie with the sleeves cut off. His face was young and full of arrogance, his eyes covered by a visor and his black hair was short and curly. Around his neck was a gold chain with a ‘JD’-shaped medallion on the end. As the song ended, the stranger walked onto the stage and confronted Scotty with a smug grin.

Boy: I thought you were lousy.

Scotty: Jammy D, what do you want you biscuit?

Jammy D frowned and grabbed the singer by the lapels of his coat, bringing their faces dangerously close.

Jammy D: I’ll make you pay for what you did to me; I’m going to take everything you hold dear. Just you wait Rave…or should I say Scott David Harris? Hmph, you picked a very immature stage name for yourself in the end didn’t you?

Scotty: This coming from a guy who named himself after a biscuit?

Rob, Simon and John snickered amongst themselves at this. Jammy D pushed Scotty away but Simon steadied him in time.

Jammy D: Yer a dyin’ breed Rock Star, my tunes are going to blow – you – down.

With that, he walked away. Vanja jumped onto the stage.

Vanja: Scotty, Scotty are you ok? What happened?

Scotty: I’m ok Vanja love, really.

He gave her a weak smile. Vanja sighed and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest.

Vanja (Thinks): I have to find out what’s going on…I just have to.

Scene 2
As the afternoon dragged on, Scotty was sitting on the bed in his room with a can of Fosters in his hands, topless aside from the bracelet covering his right forearm. Vanja was next to him, looking at a poster for the ‘Sex Pistols’.

Vanja: Scotty…please…what happened on that stage?

Scotty: It’s nothing to worry about.

Vanja: Don’t you dare tell me it’s nothing to worry about! Scotty! I’m your girlfriend so show me some respect!

Scotty: It’s none of your concern!

Rob’s Voice: STOP!

The couple turned to see a furious Rob in the doorway.

Rob: Just stop it now! I thought you two were lovers! Fucking act like it! And that means you keep no secrets from each other! Me, John and Simon all know about what’s going on between you and Jammy D, Scotty! So there’s nothing wrong with Vanja knowing to!

Scotty: Rob, I…!

Rob: The guys and me are going out now…and I want you to start acting like you’re in love with each other, got it?!

He disappeared out of the room. Scotty and Vanja looked at each other in shock. Never before had Rob gone mad like that. They both turned red from shame.

Scotty: Vanja I…I’m so sorry…

Vanja: It’s ok, I’m sorry to.

They held each other and kissed deeply, breaking apart a few moments later.

Vanja: So…will you tell me now?

Scotty: Yes, of course I will.

Scene 3
As Scott explained his story to Vanja, a flashback came to his mind. It was back at the Shoebury College in England. Scott and close friend James had now finished their exams and were wasting their time in the computer room, which was more like a social gathering. Back then, both of them had worn very regular glasses and were very different to how they were now.

James: So…what’ll you do now?

Scott: I’m thinking of finally getting the guys together for real.

James: Scott, I know you’re big on all this metal of yours…but don’t you think you need to get with the times man?

Scott: What do you mean?

James: Rock and hip-hop are like fire and ice, they’re combating each other equally but in the end, one of them will win.

Scott: Wait, what are you saying James?

James: Join the hip-hop side Scott, then with our combined skill we can conquer the musical world.

Scott: What are you kidding?! Dude! The science fiction’s gone to your head!

James: You will see that hip-hop will take over from rock soon. It’s happened already in America, it is only a matter of time before it happens the world over!

With that, James reached into his bag and retrieved his medallion and sleeveless hoodie, pulling them on. Jammy D was born.

Scene 4
Scotty’s flashback ended as he returned to the present.

Scotty: Before James could attack, they pulled him screaming out of the building. I haven’t seen him since…until today…and it looks like he’s still bitter.

Vanja: So many years down the line and your music styles are clashing.

Scotty: That’s where you’re wrong love, in Britain, rock and metal have conquered everything else. Anyway, that aside, let’s just forget it. I ain’t scared of Jammy D. I mean, it’s hard to take a guy seriously when he named himself after a biscuit with a jam-filled heart in the middle.

Vanja: Do you miss your old friendship?

Scotty: More than anything, before the change James was one of my best friends. He was kinda simple, and sometimes annoying, but he could cheer anyone up. In a way, he was almost like a brother.
 

Vanja closed her eyes and put her arms around him completely, the singer resting his head on her bosoms. He put his arms around her and squeezed her waist. He then moved to eye level and kissed her, pushing her onto her back. Soon, they were naked together. Their tongues caressed each other as he moved his hand over her breast and up her neck until it came to rest on her cheek. His other hand traced the shape of her leg and came to her shapely posterior, squeezing the left cheek. Vanja let out a long sigh of relief as he held her.

Vanja: You…You really know how to be gentle don’t you?

Scotty: If it pleases you, I’ll do it.

Vanja: Tee-hee…oh shut up you big, blonde twit.

With a mischievous grin on her face, she pushed Scotty onto his back and sat on his waist. She lifted herself up and dropped down on his penis. Both of them let out a loud gasp as they united. Vanja began bouncing on his penis, making the springs in the bed create loud noises.

Vanja: Oh wow…this feels…great…!

Scotty: At this rate Vanja…I’m going to…

They both cried out as they came at the same time. Vanja closed her eyes and lay down on Scotty. Still united with her, he hugged her and kissed the top of her head.

Scotty (Thinks): Yeah…rest now my love…thanks for being there. God, we’ve never been good pals you and I, but thank you for her.

He closed his eyes, dozing off with her in his arms.

Jammy D stood right outside the tour bus, an evil green on his hooded face. He reached both hands under his hoodie and withdrew a credit card and a sack. He quickly slid the card along the side of the door, unlocking it. He crept inside, walking to the very end of the bus and quietly opening Scotty’s bedroom door. With an evil grin, Jammy D moved Scott’s arms off of Vanja and covered her with the sack. Holding the sack over his shoulder, the villain left a simple note for his nemesis to find and left.

When Scotty awoke that morning, he saw the note and picked it up, his grey eyes widening in horror as he read it over.

Scotty,
I have the woman you love hostage. You will find us at an old warehouse very close to you. Come alone and we will put an end to our rivalry once and for all.
Signed,
Jammy D

Scotty crumpled the note in his hands and roared angrily.

Scotty: RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME JAMES!!! I’LL KILL YOU!!!

He stood up and after several moments, dropped the note.

Scotty (Thinks): Whatever friendship we had is gone now James, I’m going to kill you.

Scene 5
Jammy D smiled evilly, looking at Vanja’s body. She was lying on a wooden table, dressed in a long, black, simple dress. The girl’s eyes were half-open but she couldn’t move her body.

Vanja: W…Why can’t I move…?

Jammy D: When I got your sleeping form back, I stuck you in a box of ice for about an hour. Your body will take a long time to regain full motion. By then I’ll be the winner and you’ll be mine.

Vanja: Why are you doing this?

Jammy D: Do you not know what it’s like for your friends to shun you? Scotty did not realise his music will be gone one day, and hip-hop will conquer it.

Scotty’s Voice: You’re wrong James. Rock will never die so long as people respect what it stands for.

Jammy D smirked and walked towards the furious Scotty. He grabbed a lead pipe from a pile and charged. Scotty ducked out of the way and grabbed a pipe of his own. Jammy D swung his weapon again but Scotty blocked and jumped over him. They clashed again. Jammy D kicked his opponent in the gut, sending him backwards into a sander. He then pressed his pipe into Scotty’s neck.

Jammy D: You don’t know the power of the hip-hop side.

Scotty: All these years down the line…and you’re still a fucking sci-fi freak.

He whacked Jammy D in the gut with his own weapon and activated the sander, throwing his opponent towards it. Jammy D screamed as his hand vanished in a hale of red against the machine. Scotty discarded his lead pipe and walked towards Vanja, lifting her up and carrying her away.

Jammy D: You’ll pay for this Rave! I’ll make sure of it.

Scotty: Tell it to the police, Jammy D.

Holding Vanja’s body close, Scotty walked out of the warehouse and away from Jammy D for the last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scene 6
Scotty sat on the roof of the tour bus, looking up at the moon in the sky. His grey eyes glimmered with it behind his glasses. Vanja, in her regular clothes once more, stood behind him. She sat beside him.

Vanja: You ok?

Scotty: Yeah, just peachy. I seriously doubt James survived the blood loss at the warehouse…and if he did…I don’t think he’ll ever bother us again.

Vanja: Forget that now, the nightmare’s over.

Scotty: Yeah, it’s over.

They stared at each other and under the watchful eye of Mother Moon, they kissed. Rob sat in an open window on the other side of the bus, playing a soothing tune on his guitar, just for them.

THE END
