A/N:  Okay, anyone getting sick of me writing SoR fics?  I sure hope not, because they're going to keep right on coming!  Freddy and Zack is just the greatest pair I could ever ask for!  I die of happiness every time I think of them!  *swoon* They're so cute together!  There's really no point to this fic…I was just listening to music tonight and (I forget which song it was) but one of the songs gave me this idea…what would happen if Freddy turned 21 and Zack took him out drinking?  What if Freddy got to choose where they went all night?  Bad things would happen, lol.

Summary:  When Zack told Freddy that he would take the blonde anywhere for his 21 birthday, he swore that he really meant ANYwhere.  So where does Freddy want to go, and what kind of crazy things happen as a result?  Slash, Freddy/Zack.

Pairing:  Freddy/Zack.  Duh.

Disclaimer:  I own none of the following:  Freddy, Zack, School of Rock, Something Corporate or their song "21 and Invincible."

Claimer:  I DO own all of the following:  Zack's backpack and his piece of shit car.  Muahaha, I like the piece of shit car.

Dedication:  Meg, once again.  Because I had this idea while I was talking to her and she helped me make a couple of decisions about certain parts of it.

Apology:  The first chappie is kind of short.  It just seemed like a good spot to end it.  Oh well, I'll post more soon.

PS: Enjoy the ficlet.  ^______^

Some days go by, I wish I was famous
or maybe religious, so I could go to heaven
just like you
I can have a big house, complain about taxes
payoff my ex'es, ain't that living
no one makes fun of me, cause I can't stand up for myself

Woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to screw this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
Guess today's gonna blow us away

I've got a girlfriend
she tells me she needs me
and she loves me
we'll probably get married
Oh no, and everyone will bit their tongues so hard they'll bleed

When mom hears this song
she'll tell me I'm crazy
and she'll say to me
"son you're much too young, go have some fun don't waste your youth like I did"

And woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to screw this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away

And it's been autumn since the day that I met you
if I had bottomed, I'd crawl out alone
and I don't wish you know the secrets of summer at all

And woah, 21 and invincible
Woah, can't wait to screw this up
And woah, 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away

~21 and Invincible by Something Corporate

A cool breeze wafted in through the windows, ruffling the posters and notices stuck up on the walls, ruffling the soft brown hair of one Zack Mooneyham.  He smiled, enjoying the cool breeze, and adjusted the straps of his backpack.  Classes had just let out for the day and he was looking forward to spending some time outside…

            Whap.  Something hit him in the back of the head.  Before he could react, the same something jabbed him in the gut and he doubled over in pain.  "OW!"  Looking up from under the fringe of his hair, he glared.  "God dammit, Freddy!"

            The blonde boy grinned down at him.  "What's up, Jimi Hendrix?"

            Zack tried to maintain the scowl but couldn't; not when Freddy was grinning that broadly at him.  He straightened up, one hand clutching his wounded gut and the other rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head.  "Fuck, Freddy!  I swear to God, one of these days you're going to hit me and I'm just going to snap those fucking drumsticks in half."

            Freddy clutched the drumsticks to his chest protectively.  "And I'll jam what's left of 'em right up your ass!  How'd you like that, huh?  Sodomy by drumstick….nope, doesn't sound like fun to me.  But hey, if that's your thing…."  He shrugged.

            Zack sighed.  "I swear to God, you haven't changed one bit since fifth grade."

            Freddy grinned.  "I try hard not to."

            Zack rolled his eyes and started walking again.  Freddy fell into step next to him, tapping the drumsticks on thin air as if he were playing the drums.  Zack suppressed a smile; Freddy still had a major case of ADD.

            "So…" Freddy began.  "You do remember what today is…right?"

            There was a long pause; Zack feigned confusion.  "Hmmm…no, can't say that I do….today?  Hmm…today…"

            Freddy grew steadily more and more agitated beside him.  "It's my twenty-first birthday, Zack!  How the hell did you forget?!"  He sounded immensely hurt.  Zack's face broke into a grin.

            "I didn't forget Freddy, you dork!"  He swatted the back of Freddy's head.  "How could I forget the birthday of my best friend in the entire world?"

            Freddy's anguished look changed immediately.  A Cheshire cat sized grin spread across his face and his eyes lit up like a pinball machine.  "I knew you wouldn't forget!"  He threw his arms around Zack, nearly knocking the shorter, slimmer boy over.  Zack smiled, patting Freddy's back.  Freddy pulled away, hands on Zack's shoulders, huge grin still in place.  "So you're still taking me out tonight, right?"

            Zack, who was already twenty-one, nodded.  "Most definitely, man.  We're gonna party like it's…." he trailed off.  He couldn't think of a good end to that sentence.  Freddy laughed at his mess-up and Zack shrugged helplessly, smiling.

            "Hey," Freddy said as he stopped walking suddenly, stopping Zack with one hand on the brunette's shoulder.  "I really appreciate this, Zack…you waiting to go out until I was old enough."

            Zack's birthday had been two months earlier.  About a month before it, the realization hit home that Zack would be old enough to go to bars before Freddy was.  Freddy became very upset when he realized he wouldn't be able to go out with Zack on his birthday, something they had been doing all their lives.  Not wanting to see his friend upset and definitely not wanting to go without Freddy, Zack hadn't gone.  He had promised Freddy not to go out drinking until Freddy's birthday two months later, when the two of them would buy their first legal drinks together.  It wasn't as important to him as it was to his friend, and the look on Freddy's face when he heard that promise had made it all worthwhile.  His eyes had lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning and he hadn't stopped smiling for a week.  Zack couldn't help but smile thinking about it.

            "No problem, Freddy," he said.

            "No, really, I really appreciate it," Freddy said fervently.  "I mean, it's been killing me since then.  You should have gone out that night…I mean, I'm real glad that you didn't, because I'm really excited to be doing this with you, but I shouldn't have been all valley girl drama queen and made you wait for me.  You should have gone…"

            "Seriously, Freddy, don't worry about it.  It's not important.  Really."

            Freddy stopped talking, looking up at Zack with a small, hopeful smile.  "…really?"

            "Really, really," Zack said, smiling.  Freddy laughed.

            "Okay.  Thanks, man."  They walked out into the parking lot together.  Zack stopped by his car and Freddy walked on a few feet, pausing with his back to Zack.  "Well, I got some things to do before tonight…so….."  he turned to face his friend.  "…pick me up at eight?"

            "Yeah, sure thing." 

            Freddy smiled and held out his hand.  Zack grinned, reaching out and joining hands with Freddy, doing the secret handshake they had made up when they were five.  It had been modified since then and was now something that took a few minutes and caused people to stare.  Childish maybe, but he liked knowing that he and Freddy had something special that no one else was a part of, and once again, he liked doing it just to see the happy look on Freddy's face.

            A few moments later, they finished, and Freddy grinned at him, walking backwards away, still talking to him.  "See you tonight!"

            "Wait…where're we going tonight, anyway?"

            Freddy's grin grew even wider, more devious.  "See you tonight, Mooneyham!"

            "Freddy, where are we going?!"

            But Freddy just turned and ran off in the direction of his own car.  Zack sighed; he didn't really mind being left in the dark.  It was just that he had promised Freddy that they would go anywhere Freddy wanted.

            "Anywhere?" Freddy had asked, devious gleam in his eye.

            "Anywhere," Zack had promised firmly, determined to do whatever it was that Freddy wanted. 

            And if Freddy looked that excited and devious about their destination that night, it was not a good sign…not at all.

            Getting into the car, Zack fastened his seatbelt and revved the car a few times before it finally took and started running; his car suffered from a severe lack of power due to the fact it was older than dirt and not half as good-looking.  He looked pensive the entire way home as he wracked his brain to come up with an answer to the question that now haunted him: where the hell were they going to go that night?
