(October 2005)
Arctic Monkeys have finished recording their album now they where just editing it and it would be released in Late January next year
As for me I'm in the middle of recording my first album I'll release a single first then my debut album sometime next year
"Uncle cookie"Rhiannon beamed running into her uncles arms
"Ello kiddo"he smiled placing her on his hip
"Are you staying with me today"she asked him
"Yeah Mummeh and daddeh are goin teh the studio"jamie chuckled
I stood there watching them play while waiting on Alex getting ready I swear that boy is worse than me
"Alex are you ready we need to go"I called
"Yeah hold on"he finally left the room grabbing his jacket
"Right come on"Alex smiled
"Rhiannon you be a good girl for uncle Jamie"I said placing a kiss on her cheek
"I will"she giggled
"Jamie no swearing and she can only have one sweet before dinner"I instructed
"Ok I kno'"Jamie chuckled
Me and Alex finally made it to the studio I was nervous I already recorded two songs but I'm always nervous
"Yeh gunna beh fine"Alex reassured
"I know it's just I don't know"I sighed
"Lucy Alex come in"Ian instructed we entered the recording booth
"So what you got for us today lucy"Ian asked
"Erm well I was thinking of recording oak tree or sweet about me"I suggested
"We'll do oak tree today"Ian smiled
I stood in front of the microphone with my headset on my head clearing my throat taking a deep breath
"Lady left me here underneath this old oak tree she made me a bed of twigs and leafs with a trembling voice she sung me to sleep she sang dream dream dream dream sweet dream"
I paused to look at Alex who kept a warm smiled his face making me smile back
"Dark was the night cold the ground I heard voice all around sign of storms falling down my little soul is free and unbound and I dream dream dream dream sweet dream"
The acoustic guitar strumming to the tune of the soft yet creepy sounding song based on my dream years ago
"So if you walk in the woods and you see a big old oak tree tread carefully please cause I'm dreaming underneath and I dream dream dream dream sweet dream"
"And I dream dream dream dream sweet dreams and I dream dream dream dream sweet dream"
"Oh I dream dream dream dream" i took a deep breath closing my eyes
"Sweeet dreams"
I looked up to see Ian and Alex smiling ian pressed a button and spoke on the microphone
"Lucy that was amazing that's all for today"Ian said I nodded exiting the booth
"Tha' were fookin brilliant babeh"Alex smiling
"It's sounds creepy it's a song I definitely want on the album but I don't want the album to be gloomy and creepy"I chuckled
"No it were brilliant"Alex insisted "it'll beh a great album I kno' tha' for a fact"Alex smiled wrapping his arms around me
"God I hope so"I chuckled
Soon enough me and Alex got home in the afternoon earlier than expected

Rhiannon was sat on the floor with her legs crossed Jamie sat next to her with his legs crossed watching the Tweenies (pleases say people have watched this that show was my whole childhood)
Me and Alex watch them smiling they didn't even notice us coming in
"Uncle Cooke can I have a drink pwease"Rhiannon asked

Today was my release party for my album I was nervous the boys were growing with the album they sold over 363,735 copies within the first week I was and still and so proud of them
I wore a lilac dress that come up to above my knee with black flats Alex wore a shirt with jeans the same as the rest of the boys
And Rhiannon wore a pink fluffy dress that she insisted on wearing with her glittery silver shoes with her dark brown hair in pigtails and a little pink and silver bow completing the look she looked absolutely gorgeous
There was a table with copies of my album on it so people could by them cds vinyls
I picked a vinyl up smiling reading the track list
