Here it is, the long awaited final chapter of the saga that is Lizard Green. Which is the uber lame name I came up with for this series. I've been working on these stories for about nine months. huh... it's like an over due baby : ) Ignore my lameness/
Disclaimer: As usualy, this is my only disclaimer I'm not going to remember to do this again. I only own My OC's and the plot. I don't own the characters you recognize from TV and I don't own the songs I'm going to use. Just deal with it.
Quick Note: Newt and Greenlee have two kids, JR (16) and Audrey (14). Meena and Cory have one kid, Sean (14). Stickler and his wife Lucy have two kids, Brenda (10) and Marshall (7).

Chapter one
"I'm so late!" Audrey Livingston cried as she ran down the sidewalk trying to get to school. In one hand she held a pop-tart in the other she had her socks. She got to the back wall of Washington Preperatory Academy and stuck her foot in the hole where a brick had fallen out, lifting herself over the wall, jumping down to the other side. She snuck into the school walking to her locker.
Audrey was a pretty girl. She had long blonde hair, her aunt Colleen loved to sit and brush it. So did her cousin Logan. She also had her mother's big brown eyes. The only thing a lot of people thought was weird about Audrey was that she concentrated on her music more than anything, even her own love life. A girl as pretty as Audrey in that school would have had a few boyfriends by now. Not Audrey, she'd rather spend her time in her basement rehersing with her friends, Liza Kyle, Cameron Moore, Sean Baxter and Abby Marks. Well, until Abby moved to Alaska for her father's job. Go figure. The worst part of the move was now the band was down a keyboard player.
Their band, Punk Rock Unlimited, had a very specific system. Liza was the manager. She was completely inept when it came to playing instruments and she had stage fright anyway. Nevermind that the manipulative little beast was great at getting PRU some amazing gigs. Cameron was the guitarist. When he was seven he broke his leg and his older brother Grant taught him guitar, over the years the boy with the blonde curls practiced and was the best guitarist in the school, as decided by the contest in the fifth grade. Sean learned drums from his dad. The boy could pound out a beat so fierce you'll be shocked speechless.
Then there was Audrey. Audrey Livingston was born to be a singer. She had talent and a stage presence that could blow you away.
Together PRU was an unstoppable force bound for fame.
Audrey got her books and snuck into her homeroom. She might have gotten away with it if Nancy Justice hadn't coughed. Mr. Chapman's head snapped up and his beady, watery eyes narrowed.
"Miss Livingston. Late again? Detention." He said, complete sentences were not Mr. Chapmen's forte. Audrey groaned and flopped down in her set, giving Nancy a dirty look. She pulled on her socks and looked at Cameron who gave a shrugg.
'evil.' Audrey mouthed. Cameron Nodded in agreement, but both turned when the door opened. Through the door came a boy with sandy blonde hair and a cocky smile. He handed Mr. Chapman a note.
"Very Well Mr. Hathaway, take a seat next to Miss Livingston." Audrey, out of habit, raised her hand even though the seat next to her was the only empty one in the room. The boy came and sat down with a smile.
"Hey." He whispered. "I'm Xander." Audrey looked at him, eyebrow quirked.
"Audrey." She said, jumping when a piece of paper landed on her hand.
'What do you think?' A note written in pencil asked. Audrey opened the paper and read what was inside.
We Want You!
Punk Rock United is looking for keyboardist. Auditions to be held in the school auditorium this Friday!'
There were a lot of drawings that Audrey knew Cameron had done himself. She looked at him and gave him a thumbs up. He blushed slightly and looked down at his note book where he was doodling away.
"looking for a keyboardist?" Xander asked her, looking at the paper.
"No we just like to make flyers in our spare time." Audrey joked, smiling.
"I play keyboard, maybe I'll try out." Xander said.
"You totally should we need someone soon." Audrey Nodded.
"I'll think about it." Xander decided. Then the bell rang. Cameron was too engrossed in his doodles to notice that people were leaving, let alone to notice Xander walking behind him to see the doodles of Audrey's name.
"Have a little crush do we?" Xander asked, Cameron jumped fifteen feet in the air.
"Umm... n-no." He stuttered, closing the notebook and getting up. "She's my best friend. Why would I have a crush on her?"
"Because she's pretty and funny for starts." Xander raised an eyebrow.
"Do you have a crush?" Cameron asked.
"I might." Xander shrugged.
Oh Boy. This was going to be fun.
ABMABMABM
That night Audrey got home after Detention and walked into the kitchen to find her mom, dad and brother in the kitchen. Her mother was on the phone with Audrey's Uncle Blu.
"I'm telling you Blu, it's the next big thing. When have I steered you wrong? I told you the mohawk thing was a joke how was I supposed to know you'd take it seriously?"
Her dad was making dinner, pizza bagels, and singing along with the Radio, which was playing the latest song by the Rolling Stones (Yes I realize they would be dead, that's the joke).
Newton the third, or J.R. as he preferred, was doing his homework like the good little kiss up he was. He always managed to get the best grades and be the perfect son.
"Detenion again?" He asked as soon as Audrey walked in.
"Yes, but it totally wasn't fair." Audrey shrugged, dropping her backpack and jumping up on a stool.
"How wasn't it fair?" Newt asked, putting the bagels in the Oven.
"I was late to class, but only because they refuse tomake the school day later and put a gate on the backside of the school so I have to either jump the wall or run around to the front, making myself even later than before." Audrey shook her head.
"I'm sure he's out to get you." JR rolled his eyes.
"He is. Mr. Chapman is pure evil. So is Nancy." Audrey pouted.
"So was Mrs. Carbunkle and the past fifteen teachers you've had." Greenlee pointed out.
"But they were... are... whatever." Audrey shrugged. "I'm going to my room. Call me when the bagels are ready."
"Will do."
