Cliff and Fred held a private meeting, just between the two of them, at Granny's. They mainly chose the location because no one would expect either of them to be there. Still, some things had to be done. Miner's Day was coming up, and the band had agreed to provide live music.
"Mellower songs," Fred stated again, "are what we need to mainly stick with. A few fast-pace songs, though."
Cliff nodded. "Well, judgin' by some of the things the others suggested, it might go that way. But..." He showed Fred one part of the ideas list.
"... what the hell is a Miner Rap?"
"Dunno, Ralph suggested it."
The lighter-skinned male rubbed his temples. "We're vetoing it."
"Agreed," Cliff nodded, crossing it off the list.

The door to Granny's openned and a cheerful greeting of "hello" in an accent with slight British flavor greeted Granny at the counter. "The usual please" the young man continued before Ruby could make her way out to him.
He took note of Fred and Cliff over in a booth as he took a seat at the diner bar.

Cliff looked up at the entrance of the music teacher. "Hey, Oliver!" He waved over at him. The man hadn't seen him since some time ago at the community center, but even that was brief.
Fred glanced up, eyebrow raised.

Jezabel was making her way through mainstreet, finishing up another quick Jog through town, when she noticed Oliver sitting at the bar at granny's along with Fred and the rest of the guys. She quickly made her way across the street and through the Diner doors.

Oliver looked up upon hearing his name. He grinned and gave a "Hello..Cliff, right?" He smiled. "How are those.." he made a motion with his hands like blaying a piano keyboard. "Piano lessons going at the Center? Like Being a teacher?" he quipped

"Hi Fred! And Cliff too!" she held out her hand to cliff as she strode over to their table,"I don't think we've been formally introduced-" then she looked over to Oliver, and realized she had just walked into their conversation,"oh, I-I'm sorry was I interrupting something?" she could feel her face getting a little hot.

"S'right," Cliff confirmed. "It's great! Who knew that there'd be kids that actually wanted lessons?"
"Hey Jez," Fred greeted, looking back over the list of songs.
"Our new waitress." The pianist shook the girl's hand. "No, you're all right. Nothin' bein' interrupted here!"

Oliver looked to Jezabel as she came up to them. "Interrupt? Nah! It's not interruption when it's from a lovely lady like.... Wait! Wait a minute! I know you!" He grinned. "You're....now don't tell me......Starts with a 'J'....Jessica? June? Joan? Joann? Julie?" Clearly he was teasing and flirting.

Jezabel smirked a little," I'll give you a hint if you buy me a drink," she sat down on a bar stool in between the three guys turning her attention to Fred and Cliff,"So what is it that Im not interrupting exactly?"

"I'll give you a hint," Fred responded to Jezabel. "It's something along the lines of Miner's Day and songs being performed at it. And Cliff felt like chatting."
Cliff blinked. "Sorry guys," he apologized, "he usually ain't like this..."

"ah, I see, what songs are you thinking about playing as of now?" she asked peering at the list on the table.

"We hardly even have a list," Fred responded, eyes not leaving the list. "I think we should play more mellow songs, but... Look at some of these suggestions! We had to cross off 'Miner Rap' because--! Well think about it!"
"... brother, you feelin' okay?" Cliff asked, concerned.
"Fine! Fresh as daisies!" the brunette nearly snapped back.

Oliver went ahead and ordered a drink for Jezabel, quietly telling Ruby to place whatever else she ordered on his tab as well, he'd get it.
He then turned back to Fred, Cliff, and Jezabel. "Hey Cliff! I'd talk to your....mate, but he appears to be stressed enough... Did young Sam mention to you that the highschool jazz band will be playing a concert during the day at some point?"

Ruby came by with her drink and told her that Oliver would be paying for anything she ordered. Of course Jezabel was a little shocked by this and gave Oliver kind of a funny look,"I guess you'd like that hint..." she took a sip and tried to think something,"uh, let's see here... It's Hebrew for one... And it ends in 'bell', you had the 'J' bit right though," she smiled and took another sip.
When Fred snapped back at Cliff Jezabel turned her head, a little concerned,"Seriously, what's wrong?"

The pianist nodded, a smile forming on his face. "Yeah! Lil' Sammy's sure excited about it. It's all he can talk about lately."
"Nothing's wrong," Fred answered Jezabel. "Let's leave it at that."
Cliff, concerned as ever, turned to the other two. "I think he's stressed out," he guessed. "Miner's Day is comin' up, plus runnin' the club an' whatever else he's up to must've got to him."
