Spinning Round

Summer is bittersweet.
Emotions are high,
activity is high,
temperatures are high.
But it can only last so long.

Summer Time

Context:
The book I'm working on is called "i Scribe - The Orange Juice© Tales"
This is a scene from a sequal to the book, "iScribe - The Purple Drink Tales"
In this scene the main character, AlphaOmega, let's call him Alph, is doing a rendition of the song Mr. Jones, written by Adam Duritz.
It is the year 30X8.
It is 7 years after the events of the 30X0 Orange Juice© tales.

TL:DR of that story is that his, Alph's, love interest from that book.

Jump to the present.
She is sitting front row center! Except, she's with her fiance.
Alph, AlphaOmega, is a famous singer, across the galaxy even. Even though the stage was big by 2020 standards, this is a more intimate venue than he's used to, it's actually the wedding recital her wedding.
There's a lot of pressure on you to perform this song.
You have a few fans in the crowd.
This is the song cover that you got famous off of so you can't let your fans down!
Also to note, this is the song you guys first danced to at your wedding recital.
Before you were devorced.
Obviously.
Spotlight turns on.
You're on stage.
Music starts. (Alph realizes his earphone's are broken, only one side plays at a time)
♪♫♪
(Alph has been lip syncing this song for various reasons for years at this point.)
"Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la"
"Mmm"
"Uh huh"
=JUMP to Alph remembering taking the love interest, the girl, to Amsterdam for their honeymoon.
"I was down at the New Amsterdam."
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
=Jump to Alph noticing earlier that Resonance, the yellow-haired girl from the memory, came today with her hair dyed black.
=Look to see Mr Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer.
=OUTLOUD, finally, Alph sings.
"You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance the silence down through the morning
Sha la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Cut up, Resona!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I want to be someone who believes
Yeah
Mr Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me
Smilin' in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew a Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr Jones and me
Look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
I don't think so
She's looking at me
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely
Said I'm never gonna be
Lonely
I wanna be a lion
Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to believe
Yeah!
Mr Jones and me
Stumbling through the Barrio
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody love you
Oh! Son, that's just about as funky as you can be
Mr Jones and me
Starin' at the video
When I look at the television, I wanna see me
Staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why, and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me
I'm wanna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars

I The Laughter

In this scene, AlphaOmega is reading and thinking about the messages he receives during one of i's points.
i makes a well worded and nuanced point, but Alph, AlphaOmega, is too lost in thought thinking about the recent death of his late mother.
