[color=808080]The whole auction overall didn't last that long, not that it really mattered whether or not Mitch had participated, as every 'item' up for sale was out of their budget. Somewhat crestfallen and dejected, Mitch stared at the two hundred bills, the balding old man in each slip almost mocking them for trying. Sighing, Mitch pocketed the money, gave their cheeks a couple slaps to wake up and with a fist pumped to the sky proclaimed, [color=E79028]"Alright, time for a strong drink, and I'm buying. You coming?"[/color]

Before Barry even had a chance to answer, a young man with fiery red hair came sauntering up requesting the pair's assistance with setting up for the rock show. Barry had no idea who this kid was outside of recognizing him performing gigs around town, and while the dull ache in his upper back told him to take it easy, the easy money outweighing the scales. [color=789563]"Just moving a few things huh?"[/color] Barry folded his arms over, tucking his hands into his sides, [color=789563]"Sure, sounds easy enough, just point me where and I'll move it,"[/color] turning to Mitch he prompted them to follow, [color=789563]"You coming?"[/color]

Mitch had a better idea of who Zack was, although still vague since he was two years Mitch's senior. The age gap meant that while they hadn't shared any classes together, they were still privy to the antics of the red head in their tiny school. Smart kid, dream of becoming a rock star; some might call it a 'waste of potential', but Mitch found it to be more impassioned, a dream to live by, and that was something they could respect. Mitch turned to Barry as he made an attempt to recruit them, [color=E79028]"Really? Not gonna lie that drink was kind of calling to me."[/color] Their eyes gazed longingly towards the bar...

[color=789563]"You can drink any other time, how often do you get exclusive back stage passes from the lead performer? Besides, you came here looking for a date right?"[/color] Mitch raised their eyebrow at that, a subtle flush tone rising up their neck, [color=789563]"Sounds like this nice gentleman might be offering you a couple of Andrews to take home."[/color] Mitch gave Barry a solid jab to the arm as he laughed.

[color=E79028]"Ass!"[/color] They exclaimed as they laughed at the man's stupid jokes, [color=E79028]"Fine, fine, although I don't think he's told us who I'll be taking home tonight, I'll still help out,"[/color] Mitch winked at Zack before grinning wide, both thumbs extended upwards. [color=E79028]"Besides,"[/color] they started as Zack lead the pair towards his equipment, [color=E79028]"you don't want the fossil accidentally wiping any of your music away."[/color]

[color=789563]"Dude..I'm not [b]that[/b] old."[/color][/color]
