RE: Baywatch [Poptart]

"WAIT. You're also a DJ? Holy crap! That's amazing! You're hot, talented and you have a cute little rug-rat, that's like, a total babe triple threat. Your husband's a lucky dude."

Despite the fact that DJ liked to keep an air of aloof disinterest when it came to talking to guys that were way out of her league (for example, if she was batting in the Majors this Stefan kid was probably batting cleanup for a Little League team) his words did manage to goad a real laugh out of her. Really, this kid was the funniest when he turned off the charm faker than bottled tan and just talked.

"Oh please, honey." She said, wiggling her bare hands in front of Stefan's face, and in the case of the hand occupied with Tev's pennies, her bare closed fist. "Do you see a ring on any of this fingers?"

Not that she was bitter. Despite being an avid figure in the night scene she thought that she was excellent wife material. Well, that being said, she lived on an island where 90% of the boys have only seen a bare boob in their weird fantasies so maybe that played into her continued status as a bachelorette. But things were so much less complicated with just her and Tevyntr and she didn't have to worry about some man-child telling her what she could or couldn't do.

No, really, she wasn't bitter.

She was a little closer to the water than she tended to like, but the breeze here was nicer than under her umbrella. DJ lowered herself to the sand. It was cooler than she anticipated, so she stretched out her legs. Ahh...

"I'll answer your questions in order then. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and... Yes." Geez what a motor mouth. "I do some of my best work at Sid's parties. D'you know Sid? 5'7", white hair, half shaved head, face full of metal, big ears?"

Stefan gasped. "WAIT," he said. "WAIT."

He rifled through the contents of his pockets again and pulled out the receipt. Argh. He didn't have a pen. He would have to memorize it and that was bad because he was bad at memorizing stuff! He would tell the breeze to remind him but the breeze was pretty bad at remembering stuff too. It couldn't even remember where it went yesterday. (Actually, neither could he. Was that bad?)

He sighed. "I can't write it but... Should I just go on iTunes and search for MC DJ? What's your album called?"

At the question of Sid, Stefan rubbed his chin in thought. The dude had a pretty big social circle and so did he. Sometimes the two overlapped, and that overlap led to some interesting texts from his friends.

"Oh. I've heard of him. He was the dude that threw that rave in the ballroom, right? I wanted to come but I pulled an all-nighter the night before and I passed out when I came home from class. I woke up with like thirty messages about it — the punch was spiked, some dude was molesting the walls and a meadow appeared out of nowhere!" He paused for a moment, suddenly connecting the dots. "You DJ'd there, huh? Aww, man. Now I'm just convinced I missed the party of the century."

DJ watched as the boy rummaged through his pockets, standing up and walking back to her towel to grab her cooler and bring it closer to wear she was sitting. She'd brought these drinks to have a good time at the beach and she wasn't about to let them go un-drank settling back in, she dropped Tev's pennies into one of his already drunk water bullets and put it back into the cooler. She would remember to retrieve them when she got home.

Probably.

"Hmm?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, the album is called InacreditÃ¡vel Perda."

It looked like he didn't have anything to write with, so he probably wouldn't remember. And if he did, he didn't seem like the type who would know how to spell it. She could be wrong. Maybe he knew Brazilian Portuguese. He seemed like the type who'd learn for shits and giggles. Or rather, learn the colors and numbers before getting bored.

"I DJ at all of Sid's parties." She said, sipping on another bottle. "We go way back. Plus it's good business. I get a lot of calls for other DJin' gigs every time I do it. It's muito bem for trabalho."

Actually...

"You go to the academy right? What's your concentration, hon?"

Aw, damn. It was a mouthful. He was just going to search for 'MC DJ' and see what that could bring up.

He eyed the cooler for no other reason than to peek at what was inside, but the heat was also pretty fierce and he thought about maybe getting a soda later. "Way back, huh? Sounds nice. It's one of those 'before you got big' friendships. Those are the kind that stay, I think."

Not that he had any experience with that. But it was a nice thought.

"Mass Communications and Media. It's... uh, how do I put it? I study how to talk to people, what my things say could imply in a societal context and basically just overall Communications theory. It can help with getting a job that involves a lot of social interaction, like Marketing, Advertising, and even hosting TV shows." He shrugged. "I like talking to people! That's what my High School psyche eval told me I should get, too. I like all the practical exams stuff but memorization stuff still kick my ass every time."

Thinking about it, he wasn't actually that smart. He picked up on things easy but, when it came to refining skills, he backed off almost immediately because it was intimidating. Did the High School psychologist basically just tell him he was only good for his ability to make friends? That wasn't very cool. He pushed the thought aside. "Are you planning on going on tour someday, Ms. MC DJ?"

DJ watched Stefan closely for a moment. His attitude seemed pretty high school pretty boy to her. Which, wasn't a bad thing. She at one point in her life had swooned so hard over the high school trump card that she ended up with her little bundle of joy. But she was a better woman than that now. It might also have something to do with the fact that she got good at spotting Stefan's type of guy from a mile away.

Maybe it was because Stefan and Sid were the same type of guy.

She listened as Stefan talked about his major. It was actually kind of interesting. If he was all about interaction in the social scene it was a wonder she didn't hear more about it. Though, she really only had one ear to the ground there, and even then she was only half listening.

"Going on tour... yeah, I've thought about it. But I'm hunkered down with that little guy," she pointed to Tev, who had started wandering around the shallow pools looking for something in particular. "And I don't wanna take him with me since it ain't exactly stable, and he's got no one to talk care a him if I don't take him with me."

She didn't mention that she could only barely trust Sid enough to watch Tev for a night, and any more than that resulted in one of them getting locked out of the apartment and the other sleeping on the counter. Without fail.

Still, the glamour of tour life did call to her. "Hey, Stefan, maybe if I do go on tour you could do advertisin' and stuff. That'd be fun, don't you think?"

Stefan followed her line of vision and he understood. It sucked when parents didn't think about their effect on children. Little Tev didn't know how good he had it with his super hot and super sweet mom.

They were good people. A good family. They weren't exactly the picturesque nuclear family, but Stefan had a nuclear family and look where it got him. He was almost twenty one and he didn't really have any skills, passions or attachments to brag about. If he was going to be honest with himself, he was jealous. If he was going to be more honest with himself, he was afraid of this kind of set up.

"Ah..." Stefan nodded. "I've read something about that. Kids that grow up with celebrity parents have a harder time adjusting to normal society or something. Man, I've seen enough reality shows to know that stuff's a hundred percent true."

He smiled at DJ. No posturing or sucking up this time, just... raw admiration. "He's lucky that you think of him even if he doesn't know it. My parents don't, you know, and I think that messed me up real bad."

Stefan considered the offer. It was a pretty nice fantasy. DJ was someone he openly admired, and he thought that maybe he'd be confident enough to plant his feet on the ground around her. "That'd be awesome! I've been thinking of going into entertainment myself, you know? But I can't find any field that I'm passionate about. I've gone into modeling for a few months before. I starred in a few plays. I'm also pretty good at dancing and singing but..." He sighed, scratching the back of his neck. "I'm not really passionate about any of those, so pursuing them kinda feels... unsincere?"
