Disclaimer: I own nothing. Just barrowing Danny and Lindsay for a minute. I will return them unharmed.
Author note: This is just a quick one shot that I couldn't get out of my head so I could move on in my other story. Hope you enjoy.
Danny's Band
Danny stood beside the stage in his jeans and wife beater as the man announced the band. He froze for only a second before Michael touched his arm and they ran up the stairs. He had played these songs a hundred times yet at this moment he could not remember the first note let alone the lyrics of the song they were suppose to be playing. Danny didn't know what to make of it. He was always the confident one, never losing his cool. Michael tapped the drum sticks together and the Nirvana song flooded into Danny's brain. He started strumming his guitar.
"Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memory
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria"
As the words left his mouth the crowd began to fade away. He was in the song now and there was no stopping him. The fear that had touched him was now gone and all he could do was sing.
As the song came to a close Danny looked into the crowd and was astonished to see them standing and yelling. Maybe he was actually good. He scanned the crowd as Michael started the beat for Rockstar by Nickleback. He noticed a group at the back table and that same tinge of fear filled him. He never thought that Lindsay would tell everyone what he was doing. He should have never told about her dancing abilities. Things like that always seem to come back to haunt him. He went back to the music and was sucked in to the song.
"I'm through with standing in line
to clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)"
This was it this is what he wanted. He wanted to be a rock star, tired of the thankless job he did in the lab. So few times did people thank him when he found the killer or figured out the clues of the scene, no this is what he wanted at least for the moment. He had dreamed of this moment since his dream of baseball came to an end.
"I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me
(So What You Need)"
As the song finished he thanked the crowd and went off the stage. Michael slapped him on the shoulder.
"That went well for our first time out."
"All except me forgetin the words to start there."
"Sure, but you got it together. Ya always do."
Michael grinned as Lindsay walked up to Danny and excused himself.
"That was fantastic. You were better than I thought you would be."
"Thanks, I think. Did you have to bring the whole lab?"
Lindsay grinned mischievously, "Just wanted to make sure you had a good crowd."
Danny just rolled his eyes and bent down to kiss her. Maybe working in the lab had its perks too.
