Negotiations !

Debbi's dressing room was now the scene of frenzied negotiations. She had not committed to anything onscreen and was happy to have had the interview wind down but now this extra burden had been thrust upon her. Once she was back in her dressing room and relieved to be wearing a robe again, as Avalon removed her TV friendly makeup, she once more assumed her usual initial reaction. "I'm not doing it. I'm not prancing about naked on stage in front of tens of thousands."

The crowded dressing room was populated by Solomon, Jody, Deacon and Lord Tyrone representing the charity. The SEXFLIX people were not interested since they would not be able to get any access to the festival site to shoot any further footage. "I understand your position Debbi" Lord Tyrone was saying "but you were seen tonight on TV by many more people than that. I can't thank you enough of course for the funds already raised by your efforts. But this will swell the coffers some more, both from this rappers fee but also from more valuable publicity and raising of public awareness."

"And what about me and Deacon ?" added Jody. "It's a fantastic opportunity to get our music and lyrics heard by important music industry people." "That's right" Deacon agreed. "Oh come on" countered Debbi. "I can see it a little as far as Deacon's music's concerned but who cares about your crummy lyrics ?" Debbi could see, from looking in the mirror as Ava still worked on her face, that she had offended the black girl. "Sorry, I didn't mean that. But why does it have to be Miz No-E in the raw ? Can't I do my original rap where I'm wearing my knickers ?"

Solomon was on the phone to DollaXL's representatives and he put that point to them. "They're going to consult Dolla" he said. "Hang on." Jody was pacified by Debbi once more unconsciously registering the song as 'her' rap.

"Ok" announced Solomon into the tense silence that had enveloped the room. "Dolla had only ever seen Miz No-E in the raw and didn't know there was a milder version but he's prepared to go along with underwear as long as it's something sexy. The festival organizers might be happier with that too." "And he'll still donate his fee ?" asked Lord Tyrone. "Yes" confirmed Solomon, "on condition that Debbi then joins the backing dancers for his set !"
