Hey guys, Alvin here with the sequel to Like Father Like Son. I got a lot of positive reviews for the first story so I decided to do a sequel. Enjoy.
Flashback
"Get in!"
"Punch it Simon!"
"No, Jake!"
"Watch out!"
End Flashback
"Jake!"
Jake snapped out of his thoughts and looked up. Standing in front of him was AJ, his best friend. The boys are now 15 years old. Alvin, Brandon, Simon and Theodore are 36. The girls are 35.
"You ok?" asked AJ
"Yeah yeah I'm fine" said Jake, standing up "Lets go"
AJ and Jake walked inside the large room. There were people everywhere. Men in uniform, including Alvin, Brandon, and Simon. The chipettes, including Katie were all there. Dave was standing there with a black suit and tie.
At the end of the long path was a casket. AJ and Jake walked down the long path through the center of the room. Both boys were dressed in button up dress shirts and dress pants.
They reached the casket. They looked at each other for a second before Jake stepped forward. He looked at the coffin. Lying inside was his uncle…Theodore.
Jake tried to hold back tears.
"H-hey Uncle Theo, I-it's me, Jake"
Tears fell from Jake's eyes. He couldn't hold back anymore.
"I-I'm gonna miss you, Uncle Theo"
Jake pulled something out of his pocket. It was a small black box. He opened it and pulled out a small medal with the words Medal of Honor and Bravery. He placed the medal inside Theodore's front pocket.
Jake wiped a tear away and stepped back, allowing AJ to step forward.
"H-hey Uncle Theo it's me, AJ"
AJ had already started crying.
"It's not gonna be the same around here without you, Uncle Theo"
AJ pulled out his box with his medal in it. He did as Jake did and placed his medal in Theodore's front pocket.
"Goodbye, Uncle Theo"
AJ stepped back and they closed the casket. Everyone in the room was crying. Even some of the soldiers. The one crying the most was Eleanor, nobody blamed her though. Alvin and Brandon seemed to be sad, but no tears fell. Everyone guessed it was just their tough guy Marine hardcore pride.
Everyone gathered outside for the burial. Eleanor had an American flag in her arms while she sobbed. Alvin, Brandon, Simon, and three other men lined up with their rifles for a 21-gun salute. AJ walked up and joined the line. He pulled out an all too familiar Colt 45. handgun.
They raised their guns. The general spoke.
"Present arms…and Fire!"
They fired all at the same time, repeated twice more. Theodore's coffin was buried and lots said words to pay their respects.
"Excuse me everyone"
Everyone looked and saw Jake and AJ with guitars. Jake had a black electric, given to him by his father who got it as a gift from none other than Theodore. AJ had an acoustic, given to him by his father.
"We'd like to pay our respects by playing a song" said AJ
Everyone gathered around as Jake and AJ began to play.
(Jake)
Another day has come to pass
As I sit alone, holding onto your laugh
What can I do?
What I wouldn't give for a word from you
What I wouldn't give for a day with you
But time will fly and steal it all away
(AJ and Jake)
In memory of the ones we've lost
Life's not the same without you
In memory of the ones we've lost
No you'll never be forgotten
(Jake)
What a price to pay
When all our days begin to turn to night
I could runaway, far from fate
I might, I might, I might
What I wouldn't give for a word from you
What I wouldn't give for a day with you
But time will fly and steal it all away
(AJ and Jake)
In memory of the ones we've lost
Life's not the same without you
In memory of the ones we've lost
No you'll never be forgotten
I'll keep you
Won't forget you
Forever right here next to my heart
In memory of the ones we've lost
These words are bittersweet
But they feel like company
Falling off my cloud
And they burn out one by one
(Jake)
Time will fly and steal it all away
(AJ and Jake)
In memory of the ones we've lost
Life's not the same without you
In memory of the ones we've lost
No you'll never be forgotten
I'll keep you
Won't forget you
Forever right here next to my heart
In memory of the ones we've lost
No you'll never be forgotten
AJ and Jake played out of the song. Everyone clapped for them, and at the same time everyone was shedding tears.
Katie and Brittany came up to their sons.
"That was beautiful boys" said Brittany, hugging AJ
"Thanks, mom" said AJ
"Mom?" said Jake
"Yes sweetie"? replied Katie
Can we go?' Jake asked, gesturing to AJ
Katie nodded "Yes you guys can go"
AJ and Jake walked over to their dirt bikes that they got when they turned 13. They put their helmets on and climbed on.
"Guys!"
They looked over to see Jamie, their now 9-year old cousin.
"Can I come too?"
AJ looked at Jake, who just looked away staring off into space. He sighed.
"No, Jamie"
AJ kicked his bike into gear, followed by Jake. They sped out of the cemetery, leaving Jamie standing there.
Back with everyone else Alvin and Brandon watched their sons leave.
"They're taking it pretty hard" said Alvin
"I don't blame them" said Brandon
"What are you thinking?"
Brandon looked at Alvin for a moment before speaking..
"This isn't over"
Well that's chapter one of the sequel. Hope you guys enjoyed. Until next time, Alvin out
