Dhurke was sitting at the bar with Jove, having a wonderful conversation with him. They were talking about all sorts of things from their kids to their relationships, Dhurke with Datz and Amara, and Jove with Thalassa. And then it was Jove’s time to go on stage, where he played a song. There was a round of applause as Jove came back to his seat by Dhurke.
“You know, your music is really good!”
“Thank yo-”
“BOO! YOU SUCKED!”
“Excuse me a second,” Jove stood up, grabbed his guitar, and went over the heckler, “Excuse me sir?”
“What do you want?”
“I think there’s something you don’t realize.”
“And what’s that?” The heckler raised an eyebrow
“Well this guitar I have it’s new! I’m breaking it in with a smash new hit!”
“A wha-”
SMASH
In a split second, Jove smashed the guitar over his head, knocking him out. Then Jove turned around and whistled his way back over to Dhurke, who was staring agape at him.
“So anyways as I was saying! Thank you!”
“You’re welcome,” Dhurke then paused, looking at the unconscious heckler, “Is he uh… gonna be okay?”
Jove looked over at Dhurke as he was putting the smashed guitar in a bag and pulling out a brand new guitar, then he looked over at the heckler, then shrugged, “I don’t know, but I bet he now knows how it is b-flat.”
Dhurke laughed a bit there, “Well if he sues you over this at least you know a sharp lawyer.”
Jove laughed back, “Well that sounds like a-minor offense.”
The two laughed together for a while, spending the rest of their time at the bar talking and telling jokes.
A few hours later when they were going to leave Dhurke had an idea, “Hey would you like to perform and come and spend the night at my place?”
“Oh! Sounds fun! Where is it?”
“The palace!”
“Oh. Oh? OH!!!”
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
The two arrived at the palace and were greeted by Datz, who was waving at them, “HEY DHUUUURKE!!!”
“HEY DAAATTTTZZZ!!!” Dhurke yelled, and he and Jove ran up over to him.
Amara was standing right next to him and sighed with a smile, “Hello Dhurke,” she said before moving her eyes over to the small red manlet next to him, “Who is this?”
“The name’s Jove,” Jove nudged his hat, “Jove Justice”
Amara nodded, “Nice to meet you, I’m Amara and this,” She gestured to the guy next to her, “is Datz.”
“Hey there!”
“Great to meet you both! Dhurke’s told me about you two! You seem cool!”
Amara nods, “Dhurke told me a bit about you too, is that your son there?”
“Yeah! He’s a lil rascal sometimes, but he’s great! ”
Amara nods, “Nahyuta can be the same way sometimes, come inside. Maybe we can introduce the two kids to each other.”
Jove nodded, “Sounds fun for them!”
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
After setting the kids down together Jove chatted with Amara, Datz, and Dhurke for a bit, they played some games, Jove played a song, Ga’ran called it trash, Ga’ran got her head stuck inside one of Jove’s many guitars, it was a great night for everyone! Well other then Ga’ran, she stormed off mumbling something about how ‘You’ll regret this music man’ which everyone more or less shrugged off.
Dinner was fun too, there were lots of laughs and jokes and it was very enjoyable for them all.
Jove smiled, “Thank y’all for having me, I’ve had so much fun. You’re all the best!”
Datz smiled, “Agreed! How about we toast to it?”
“Yeah!” Dhurke smiled, and lifted his glass along with the others at the table, “A toast to us!”
“The Himbo Squad!” Jove announced
“Ooo! I like the sound of that!” Datz smiled, “To The Himbo Squad!”
Amara laughed and lifted her glass, “And me too.”
“Yeah! And Amara!” Dhurke added, “To the Himbo Squad and Amara!”
They all clinked their glasses with a little auditory ‘clink’ sound effect from Jove. They then all laughed and smiled.
This was a good day and was gonna be a great night here.
