People are clearing out after a show. Forte sees somehow in the crowd kind of lagging behind leaving but is also walking towards the exit anyways.
Forte: Wait is that...
Forte looks at Fortissimo.
Fortissimo: It is. Holy Shit! TEMPO!
Tempo looks up at the stage. He and Forte lock eyes. They run towards each other and give each other a high five into a massive bear hug. When that's over, Forte looks elated.
Forte: YO DUDE! Oh my god I cant believe you're here! We haven't seen each other in AGES.
Tempo: Word's spreading about you my guy! A friend gave me the band poster and thought I had to come down, at least to just see you play. Didn't know if you'd want to talk to me after or not, seems like you've found a good group of people and are moving on with life.
Forte: What the hell are you talking about? Of course I want to talk to you. You wanna hang? Let me introduce you to everyone!
Triplet: Forte, who is this? Seems like you're close.
Forte: This is Tempo! We used to be super close before me and Fortissimo ran away. Essentially my best friend. I didn't expect to see him here.
Tempo: I mean I tried searching for you and Fortissimo after you ran away, but I didn't even know where to even start. You guys just went off the grid completely. Thank goodness for those posters or else I doubt we'd ever have talked again. I always knew youd make it brother!
Forte grins.
Forte: Tempo meet Triplet, she's the Drummer and Lyricist and made the band. She's like the coolest person I know.
Triplet blushes not expecting the compliment. Forte doesn't notice, but Tempo does. He seems kinda taken aback that Triplet reacted in that way but collects himself.
Tempo: That's high praise from Forte!
Piano: Hey, what about me?
Piano pouts.
Forte: Sorry, second coolest person I know, Piano is number one.
Piano nods at the correction.
Fortissimo: Well don't hog him all to yourself! Tempo! How you doing?
Tempo seems almost happier to see Fortissimo than Forte. They do the same high five into hug that Forte and Tempo did earlier.
Tempo: Amazing now I've got to see you two again!
Triplet: Makes sense he was friends with you both if he was friends with you. You and your sister are practically joined at the hip.
Forte: Yeah we were a pretty close group of friends haha!
Fortissimo: Do you want to head out somewhere? We can hang out, introduce you to the rest of the band?
Tempo: I have some time! Yeah for sure!
The Band pack up, drop the stuff at the garage and head out to the diner they normally frequent. Tempo, much like Forte seems to get on with everyone, due to his positive personality. When Fortissimo and Triplet eventually get into yet another argument, Tempo keeps looking back and forth between them like he's thinking about something. As it's time for the gang to head home...
Tempo: Forte, can I have a minute, just me and you?
Forte: Of course! Anything for you brother.
They head out while the rest of The Band finish up.
Tempo: It's been so long since I've seen you guys, but you really haven't changed at all. That familiarity is nice.
Forte: I don't think we'll ever change. Triplet has made us think about some things in different ways though. She's very open I guess.
Tempo: I'm sure she has. You think about her often?
Tempo nudges Forte with his elbow.
Forte: Triplet? Me? No dude. I think that's the one thing neither of us want. Makes things complicated you know. We're just good friends and I'm grateful to her.
Tempo: You'd be surprised, I think. Either way I'm glad you two get along.
Forte: What about you? Don't think I didn't catch you staring. What, is my sister not enough anymore? Gotta have a crush on two people?
Tempo: Man, how do you always notice these things. Fortissimo sure, you've known since we were young that I liked her. Triplet, I only just met her today, how could you...
Looking through the window of the diner, Triplet and Fortissimo have started yet another argument with each other. Piano, Viola and Crotchet are trying to calm it. Forte raises an eyebrow at Tempo.
Tempo: Okay, I may have a type.
Forte: Is the type girls that get mad at you for no reason?
Tempo laughs.
Forte: Just once Id like to see you fall for someone calmer like Viola. It would probably be good for you. Yin and Yang or whatever. A good balance.
Tempo: You know that's not the way I go. If it's me and someone else, they have to match my energy, not stifle it.
Forte: I don't think you know what you would be getting yourself into. They may be my sister and my good friend but that shit would get crazy.
Tempo: I probably don't and either way I probably shouldn't! I don't want to mess up whatever you guys got going on here by jumping in the middle of it. It's good for you man.
Forte: Thanks Tempo. I appreciate that. Surprisingly forward thinking of you for once.
Tempo: Well I wouldn't want to make things complex when I've only just had the chance to meet you again! That and your and Fortissimos happiness is more important to me than any relationship. You seem happy now, I'm not doing anything that could ever stop that. Just know that if I get approached, I'm not saying no. If Triplet looks your way, you shouldn't either.
Tempo grins.
Forte: I'll think about it, but I seriously doubt it's ever happening so I don't think I need to think about that too hard. Like I said we're just close friends.
Tempo: And like I said, you'd be surprised. As much as you notice stuff about me, I can notice stuff about other people too ya know?
Forte: Sure, sure. Whatever you say man.
Tempo: You still don't believe me, but you'll see it if you pay a bit more attention.
Forte: FINE, Ill look out for it.
Tempo: Good that. Hang out more often?
Forte: For sure! Get in contact whenever. I mean you know where we are now, so drop by anytime. Everyone trusts you, they know you aren't the type to grass.
Tempo: See you around cousin!
Forte: Later Brother!
Tempo and Forte give each other a fist bump and Tempo walks away. Forte smiles and runs back into the diner to try and calm the argument that's still going on between Fortissimo and Triplet.
