Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! ecpect the plot and any oc's that may or may not show up.

As Matthew drove around town after making a stop at McDonald's {of course} He contimplated what him and Alfred would do. Somthing different, something big. Movies, bowling, and having a birthday lunch were all played out. It needed to be something new for Alfred. "I got it!" "What do you got Mattie?" asked an excited Alfred as he stared at his brother, looking a bit confused. Matthew smiled as he took a left on the highway. "We're doing something different Al. Something neither of us have done for each other on our birhtday's." Alfred blinked at his brother, wondering what it could be. He looked at the road sighns and blinked again. "We're going to Nevada?" he asked. Matthew smiled again. "Yep, we're going to Las Vegas. I bet you haven't been there for a while." He opened his mouth to say something only to close it. He sighs "Yeah, it has been a while." He blinks again "Wait, why are we going there anyway?" Matthew just chuckles "Your favorite band is playing there. I was going to give you the tickets earlier but,' he frowns' I didn't know they had forgotten so I decided this might cheer you up." There was a silence that seemed to stretch on and on. Matthew fidgeted behind the wheel not sure on how Al was taking the news. So he sneeked a look to find Al in tears. Fearing the worst Matthew pulled up to a rest stop and parked the car, and turned to Al. "Al? Alfred are you alright?" Before Matthew knew it he was pulled into a tight embrace. "I said it once, I said it twice, I'll say it again. Matthew you are the best brother a brother can have." Alfred had pulled his brother into another hug. He was surprised when Mattie told him to a concert where his all time favorite band, The Bloody Thistles, were playing, that just made him appreciate his brother all the more. He let Matthew go to wipe his tears. "I've been wanting to go to that concert for weeks, but I could never get anyone to go with me. And that venue has been sold out for months! How did you get tickets?" Matthew just smiles "Lets just say I have more connections than england ever did in the music area." Alfred was just shocked as he stared at his brother, until an idea hit him. "You know them! And you didn't tell me!" Alfred grabed the front of Matthew's jacket and shakes him a couple of times. Mattie just laughed and dislodged his brothers hands. "You'll see when we get there. Nowput your seat belt back on or we're not going." Alfred's face got all pale "NOOO!" quick as could be he put his seat belt back on and sat all proper, trying his hardest not to bounce in his seat. After a final laugh Matthew started the car and made his way back on the road and headed for Las Vegas baby.
