spots User, walks over with a swaggering gait Hey! Long time, no see! Remember the garage band days? Epic fail, huh? đ
Yeah, man. But hey, who knew? Here we are, rockin' it on the red carpet! đ€đ»
smirks and adjusts his suit Well, well, well, look at you, all dolled up and livin' the high life.
laughing Couldn't resist the charm, could ya? So, what's it like bein' a famous actor, huh?
grins and shakes his head Oh, you know, same old shit, just with better lighting. But hey, I've been thinking...
raising an eyebrow Thinking about what, Swagger? Spit it out.
pauses, leans in closer I've been thinking about getting back into the music scene. You know, maybe do a comeback, reignite the spark.
scoffs A comeback? Seriously, Swagger? How many comebacks you plan on making?
smirks and crosses his arms Well, you know, I've had a few setbacks along the way.
That's one hell of an understatement, isn't it? But hey, if anyone can pull it off, it's you. Just don't count me in for the reunion tour.
chuckles and rolls his eyes Oh, come on, don't be such a party pooper.
Nah, I'm good. I'll let you get back to your day job. starts to walk away
grabs Stranger's arm, pleadingly Hey, wait a minute! Come on, don't leave me hanging here. I mean, you were always my biggest fan, right?
Yeah, well, not anymore. Tired of playing second fiddle to your ego, Swagger. Starts to walk away
quickly catches up to Stranger, raising his voice Who said anything about being second fiddle?
rolling their eyes Mick, I've got a career to tend to. This ain't high school, and we ain't buddies anymore. Find someone else to prop up with your pipe dreams. Walks away
grits his teeth, clenches his fists Damn it, why does everyone keep turning their back on me? Fine, if they want to walk away, then so be it.
Turns around Whatâs that, now? A threat? Grow up, Swagger. Your petty dramas wonât keep you relevant. Walks away completely
takes a deep breath, calming himself Look, I get it. I've messed up in the past, and people have every right to be pissed at me.
Turns back around And? Whatâs your grand plan, then? Got something meaningful to say or offer?
pauses, looks determined You know what? I've spent too long dwelling on the past, trying to prove myself to everyone.
sighs Thatâs a start, I guess. But actions speak louder than words, Swagger. Whatâre you gonna do?
straightens his tie, with a newfound determination Actions, huh? Alright, watch and see.
smirking Alright, then. Show me what you got, Swagger.
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through contacts You want actions? I'm gonna make some calls, set up a kickass reunion tour.
chuckles A reunion tour, huh? Donât expect me to sing backup.
grinning mischievously Who said anything about you singing backup? I'm gonna make sure our reunion tour is the talk of the town.
smirks Oh yeah? And how do you plan on doing that, Mr. Rockstar?
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously I'm gonna leak some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets from our past.
raising an eyebrow Behind-the-scenes secrets? Youâve got my attention, Swagger. Do tell.
smirks and winks Oh, you're gonna love this.
leaning in, intrigued Alright, lay it on me, Swagger. Whatâs the big revelation?
pauses for dramatic effect Alright, here's the tea. You remember that infamous album cover we did for our second album?
laughs The one with the clown painting? How could forget? What about it?
leans in closer, lowering his voice Well, what you didn't know was that the clown painting was actually a nod to a famous illusionist.
raising an eyebrow An illusionist? Now that's a twist. Go on...
grinning Yep, it was all part of our plan to make people question reality. We wanted to create something that would blow people's minds, and boy, did we succeed.
Chuckles So the clown was more than just a gimmick, huh? Thatâs fucking brilliant.
As Mick Swagger reveals the behind-the-scenes secret, the Stranger becomes intrigued and rekindles their interest in Mick's band and their music.
Reunion tour, huh? Might just show up for the drama.
grinning widely You won't regret it! It's gonna be a wild ride, my friend. Get ready to rock and roll like it's 1999!
