Ch. 1: Trains and roses…
It was a warm Tuesday afternoon, in Los Angeles where legendary rock band, Iron Weasel live.
"Okay Ash put that there; Burger put that one over there." Derek, handsome, British, lead singer instructed his band mates. "Kay." They responded in unison.
Just then, teen, lead guitarist, Tripp Cambell walked through the door. "Hey guys, I'm home from school." He said cheerfully. The band didn't bother to look at him, they just responded, "Hey." together. Tripp raised a brow and gave a skeptical smile, "What are you guys doing?" he asked, indicating the white rail road tracks, put together in and outside the house. Derek turned to the teen and smiled, "Oh, were building a rail road track." He stated cheerfully. Tripp rolled his eyes, "Gee Derek, that explains a lot." He said sarcastically. Derek frowned and then quickly smiled again, 'Were building a rail road track, for the new train we bought." He said turning back around. Tripp's jaw dropped. He knew the band wasn't good with 'handling money', but buying a train was ridiculous. He frowned and raised his hands by his sides, "You guys bought a train?" he asked in an angry tone. Derek and the band turned to him, Derek chuckled. "Kid, calm down. We didn't buy a real train. It's a fake one." He explained with a slight chuckle. Tripp sighed with relief, "Oh, so it's a toy?" he asked. Derek squinted one eye slightly, and shrugged one shoulder, "Not exactly." He said in a small high pitched tone. Tripp looked at him seriously, "Then what is it?" he asked curiously. "Kid, basically it's a fake train that moves and can fit all four of us!" Derek explained with a smile. Tripp's eyes widened, "Derek! Are you insane? How much did it cost!" he exclaimed. Derek raised his arms in defense, "Kid don't worry, and it didn't cost us a dime." Derek said. Ash's head shot up, "Yeah it didn't cost a dime, cause it was free." He said butting in dim wittingly, obviously not getting the metaphor. "Where did you guys get a train that moves, and has room enough for all four of us…But it didn't cost anything?" Tripp asked confused. The band looked at each other and Burger spoke up. "It's actually a very interesting story, little man." He explained.
FLASHBACK…
The band was riding down the street in the band van, Burger driving, Derek in the passenger seat, and Ash in the back of them. They were in comfortable silence when Ash spoke up, "Hey guys look! A yard sale…" he exclaimed while pointing outside the window. "And look! Their selling a train!" Burger butted in, equally excited. "Let's go check it out lads." Derek suggested. "Yeah!" they agreed in unison. They all got out of the car swiftly.
FLASHBACK OVER…
The band nodded and smiled when he finished the flashback. Tripp gave a confused look. "Um, that doesn't explain how you got the train for free." he said. "Oh that? That's a different story." Burger said smiling.
FLASHBACK…
The band walked up and admired the train. It was a medium sized, but still big enough for four passengers. It had four seats, one in back of the other. A colorful, glossy, paint job. A working front light and a whistle.
"Dude we should so buy this!" Burger exclaimed. "Yeah! This is awesome!" Ash said. Derek put one hand on his hip, "I know guys, but first we need to see how much it cost. You know how the kid gets." Derek explained. The others nodded in agreement. "Hey look, look." Ash said pointing to a woman talking to another woman about a price. "That's the lady that lives here.' Ash stated. Derek observed the woman. She was thin and hourglass shaped, blonde and wearing a white V-neck shirt, and Daisy duke shorts. Derek smirked (liking what he was seeing) and turned to his band mates. "Let me handle this, guys." He said confidently. "Yeah!" The others cheered him on.
Derek dug his hands in his pockets and walked coolly to the woman. Her back was turned to him. Derek then tapped her shoulder. He planned on using the 'British charm' on her. "Excuse me Madame. But my friends and I, were wondering how much that lovely train cost." He said charmingly, letting his British accent flow. She turned around and showed her face. She had more wrinkles then Derek had hair on his head, pale skin and a lot of unnecessary makeup. Including deep pink blush, dark eyeliner, horrifying blue eye shadow. In other words, hideous.
Derek looked at her with a cool smile. But then he let out a small shriek and a horrified face. He was about to make a break for the band van, but was throttled by Ash and Burger. They have small glares and pushed him back to the woman. He cleared his throat and forced a fake smile. She smiled at him seductively, observing him up and down. "Well handsome, if you wanna know the train cost… its 100 dollars." She said. Derek's jaw dropped, "100 dollars! Really? Come on it's a yard sale!" he whined. The woman stepped closer to him and smiled suggestively, "Well honey, I think we can work something out." She cooed. Derek's eyes widened. He knew where this was going. He chuckled nervously. "Maybe I can lower the price if you take me out to dinner Friday night." She flirted. Derek turned to his band; they nodded and gave him thumbs up. Derek felt like he was about to vomit. He sucked it up and said "Make it free, and we have a deal." She smiled and gave him a small piece of paper with her phone number on it, "Call me… Mr. Rock star." She purred as she ran her bony finger down his chest. Derek slightly nodded and plastered a fake smile. She strutted away. Ash and Burger came to his side, "Yes bro! You did it!" Ash praised. "Now we get to have the train for free!" Burger yelled happily. Derek stood still for a moment, still with the fake smile. He then quickly ran to the nearest dumpster. Ash & Burger heard throwing up noises coming from him. But they ignored it and did a small dance, "We got a train! We go a train!" they sang happily.
FLASHBACK OVER…
Tripp raised a brow. Derek shuddered at the memory. "Done with the tracks Derek!" Ash yelled. Derek smiled, "Good job lads!" he praised. "Now let's show the kid the thing that I had to lose my Friday night for!" he said excited. "Yeah!" they yelled. Tripp stopped them, "Wait, where did you guys get the rail road tracks?" he asked pointing to the tracks. The two men looked at Derek. Derek gave a disappointed look, "Kid, let's just say I have another date on Sunday." Derek choked out. Tripp shrugged, "Alright show me the train." He said. Derek, Ash and Burger ran to a large figure that was hidden under a white blanket. "Tripp, say hello to our new train!" Derek exclaimed. He pulled off the blanket and revealed the shiny kiddy train. The band raised their arms indicating the train, "Ta-da!" they yelled. Tripp gazed at the train, "Wow guys it's so cool!" he praised. "Well if you think it's so cool now…" Derek started. "Wait till ya ride it." Burger finished. Tripp frowned. He knew every time the band did something 'awesome' then they would eventually get hurt, badly. He wanted no part in these. He shook his head and gave a sly smile, "Nah I think I'll pass, I got homework." He said calmly. Burger shrugged, "Suit yourself." He said. Derek and Ash already got in their compartments. Derek went in front (in the red painted one); he put on a blue and white train constructer hat. The band looked at him confused. "Don't ask me where I got the hat." Derek said irritated. Ash sat behind him (in a blue painted one), and Burger in the one behind him (the green one). "Now let's do this!" Derek exclaimed. "Yeah!" they yelled.
Derek flipped a switch that started the train, but in a slow speed. They moved slowly on the tracks around the tracks. They sighed frustrated. "Dude we can go faster then this!" he exclaimed to the handsome British singer. Tripp chuckled; he walked into his room and shut the door. Derek found a dial that had the trains speed from 1-10. Derek smiled. "Guys brace yourselves." He warned. The others gripped the sides of their seats. Derek then turned the dial up to 10; the train then sped fast around the tracks. The group cheered with excitement.
After minutes of speeding through the house inside and out, the ride was coming near a stop. Derek chuckled, his hair slightly more messy then before. "Guys the train is almost done, we just need to go through the kitchen." He exclaimed over the wind and the others cheering. "Whoa! I didn't know the train was going through the kitchen too!" Ash said surprised. Derek's eyes widened. He managed to turn around to face him. "What do you mean you didn't know? Ash I thought I told you to set up tracks in the kitchen!" Derek exclaimed. Ash looked at him confused.
FLASHBACK…
Ash was on his knees nailing two rails together. Derek walked by him, "Oh Ash, don't forget to set up tracks in the kitchen." He reminded. Ash started bobbing his head up and down. Derek smiled, "Thanks." He said as he walked off outside. Ash then looked up; he pulled out earphones from his ears and looked around. "What?" he asked confused. Once he saw no one was in sight, he shrugged and turned his M3 player up again.
FLASHBACK OVER…
"Oh so that's what those extra tracks were for." He finally figured out. Derek glared at him. He turned back around, as they were yards away from the kitchen. "Great, that's just great Ash!" Derek said angry. Burger shook his head, "So what you're saying is that Ash forgot to put important tracks in the kitchen, but were heading to the kitchen with no tracks to support the train, and that were defiantly going to hurt?" Burger said trying to piece everything together. Derek nodded. Burger smiled and nodded slightly, "Oh, all caught up." He said calmly. "Ahhhhhh!" he screamed. The others joined in and screamed too.
They finally made it to the kitchen, where a loud crash, dishes breaking and metal scratching. Tripp ran out of his room and headed to the kitchen. He opened the white swing door and gasped at the sight. The train was flipped over, and the band was scattered around the floor. Ash was lying face down by the sink, and Burger by the refrigerator. "Guys!" Tripp exclaimed concerned. He ran by Burger's side, "Are you guys okay?" he asked, not even helping them up. "Yeah bro, we crashed through the kitchen on a train and landed on our backs… Oh were just fine." Ash said sarcastically but harshly. Tripp helped them both up. He then realized one of the weasels was missing. "Guys, where's Derek?" he asked the band mates. The band looked around for their missing leader. They began to get worried, especially Ash. "Derek bro, where are you!" Ash panicked. Just then they heard a small noise of metal scraping, then a mumble. Ash gasped as he realized the lead singer was under the crashed train. He ran toward the flipped train and struggled to lift it up. The band mates stood by him and assisted. They then managed to lift the train off the Brit. Ash gasped as he saw Derek on belly and groaning in pain. "Derek!" Ash yelled with concern. He lifted him up in his arms and stared into his beautiful, bright hazel eyes. "Derek?" Ash whispered. Derek's eyes closed and he went limp. He mumbled, "Hmm…"
Ash slightly smiled hearing his voice, but then frowned, "Are you okay? Say something, anything." He said worried. Derek then slowly turned his head and opened his eyes. "Ash?" he choked out. Ash looked at his band, then back at the handsome singer. "Yes Derek, I'm here. Is there something you wanna tell me?" he hoped for the words that his always been waiting to hear. Derek blinked, "Yes…" he said softly. "…is my hair messed up?" he asked cockily. Ash frowned in disappointment. Then Derek passed out.
Ash panicked and gently shook the singer, "Derek, Derek!" he exclaimed. Tripp touched his shoulder, "We should take him to the hospital… I'll tell my mom to meet us there." He said as he reached for his cell phone. Burger patted Ash's back, "I'll start up the band van." He stated as he walked out.
Ash was alone with Derek. He gazed at his face. Ash wiped of some hairs from Derek's face. He then started to play with strands of his long dark chocolate colored hair. Ash smiled. Even unconscious Derek looked gorgeous to him. Not even the eyeliner that Derek was wearing was ruined. He tightened his grip on Derek and hugged him. He then pulled back and gazed at him once more. Something powerful came over him and he leant down closer to Derek.
Ash's lips met Derek's in soft gentle kiss. He faded into his own world, finally getting the chance to kiss his true love. For as long as Ash could remember, he'd always been in love with his lead singer. He was gorgeous, very talented, strong, caring, and did he mention gorgeous. He never let anyone know about his attraction to Derek. Because the weird thing is that Ash loved woman, but the only man he could ever love is Derek. Derek is also only attracted to woman, lots of woman. But so is Ash. Weird?
Derek's lips were soft and warm. Ash felt like he was a firework exploding. He started to run a hand through Derek's hair. When Tripp came back through the door. "Ash let's go." He said. Ash jumped "Uh, uh yeah in a minute bro." he said nervously. Luckily Tripp didn't see his 'affection' towards Derek. Ash looked at Derek and sighed. "If he was awake when I kissed him, he would have bashed my head with a pot… he'll never love me like how I love him." Ash thought sadly. Burger then came in and spun the keys around his finger, "Vans' ready." He stated. Tripp then helped Ash carry Derek into the van. "Burger a little help here." Tripp said. Burger gripped Derek by the arms, Ash by his waist, and Tripp, legs. Tripp looked up and saw his mom coming through the front door, "Look my mom is here." Tripp said. Then love struck Burger turned around to see his crush Beth. "Where?" Burger said excited, while fixing his hair. He forgot he was holding Derek and dropped his head hard onto the floor. A large thud was heard. Burger's eyes widened, "Oops." He said nervously. Ash looked at the fallen singer and then at the over weight bassist. He glared at him. Ash felt like he wanted to rip Burger to shreds for dropping Derek. He sighed and they re-lifted the singer and carried him to the van.
Ouch, poor Derek. Well how about that crush on Derek that Ash has huh? Will Derek get better? Will Ash reveal his feelings? Will Derek return them?
