A Jason Sabre and ACW Production….
BATTLE OF THE BANDS
"Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play. Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid" Said the voice of Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell through a Ulefone X. A large hand reaches over and grabs the phone before shutting off the alarm's ringtone.
"Braxton, wake up! You're going to be late for school." A mature female voice calls. Suddenly a blanket of Satan is seen being thrown in the air as a large man sits up. He swings his legs off his bed and stands up to reveal his full seven foot frame.
"I told you mother, call me Azriel!" He yells as he stands in tighty whities, before grabbing a black leather jacket with spikes on the shoulder pads and black leather pants with studs going down the side. Azriel grabs his Darth Vader towel and steps out of the hallway, before Azriel steps into the hallway. Azriel's baby brother Casey was seen running past him. Azriel catches him by his hair.
"Let go! I have to go to the bathroom." The child said.
"To hell with you. Today is the first day of my rise to dominance over the United States of America and eventually the world. I will shower first." Azriel said
"You can't even conquer a map on Fortnite." Casey said.
"Only because my team is weaksauce and all the other teams are cheaters." Azriel claims.
"Didn't that 'AceOfEverything' guy kill you in three seconds." Casey said, before Azriel threw his ten year old brother into the wall.
"We do not speak of Jason Sabre in this house. Also, stay off fortnite. It is Rated T for Teen." Azriel said, before stepping into the bathroom and looking into the mirrior. "Today is going to be the beginning of the rest of my life. The start of High School. I will rule the school!"
Azriel then picks up his toothpaste.
"What is this? This is colgate. I only use Crest! Mother, what is the meaning of this travesty" Azriel screams from the bathroom.
"Colgate is good too. Your favorite wrestler, John Cena uses it. It is in his theme song." Said Azriel's mom
"My favorite wrestler is not John Cena!" Screams Azriel.
Azriel walks out of his house where Malice is standing with his Black Jansport backpack with various pins of band logos on it.
"Hey Malice, give me five." Azriel said, before slamming the palm of his hand against Malice's forehead, sending him to the ground. "You were supposed to put your hand up."
"Sorry lord." Malice said, before standing up. He then looks at Azriel, noticing that he's wearing leather pants and a leather jacket with sandals. "Um, are you really going to High School dressed like that?"
"Oh right, I forgot my sunglasses." Azriel said, before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a pair of shades.
"No, I mean, you're dressed in all leather and you don't even have a shirt on." Malice said.
"Malice, quit being a nerd. Everyone knows that Leather is the most intimidating of materials. In order to seek dominance in the jungle known as High School, I must wear this to instill fear in anyone who thinks that they can knock me off my pedestal." Azriel explains.
"Azriel, my lord, as your friend-"
"Assistant to the King." Azriel corrects
"Right. Don't you think that it's better if you don't assume that you're automatically entitled to being the big man on campus." Malice said
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm seven feet tall. I heard that you can't teach that." Azriel said, before we cut to Azriel and Malice stepping in front of the high school.
"Freshmen year." Malice states as he walks in with Azriel.
"This is the beginning of my destiny being fulfilled." Azriel said as they enter the High School. At that instant Azriel stopped and so did everyone in the hallway. Not at the sight of Azriel. But at the sound of his monologue. "No…. It can't be…. My greatest rival"
Who was Azriel talking about? Jason Sabre of course. He was talking to Talia Brooks as his best friend, Detrick Cyrus is in the behind him, looking at his IWatch as he watches his best friend hit on Talia, a bit irritated. Azriel marches toward them.
"Azriel, this isn't the time." Malice said chasing after Azriel.
"Shut up Malice." Said Azriel as he walked towards Jason Sabre as everyone watches. As he walks, Azriel snatches a Chicken Sandwich out of Ray Kiran's hand and taking a bite.
"After that me and Detrick-" Jason is mid sentence before his best friend interrupts.
"Look out, giant nerd at 8 o'clock. Well, almost eight. It's actually 7:45." Detrick said, pointing towards Azriel who had finished the Chicken Sandwich before he finally got close to Jason, look down at the smaller man.
"Hey, Double A, Average Azriel. What's up?" Jason asked.
"I am not Average." Azriel said as Talia looks down, at Azriel's leather pants.
"Below average from what I see." Talia laughs as Azriel then notices other people in the hallway began to laugh in suit.
"Oof, dude. Shouldn't have worn tight leather." Jason said.
"This is the material of the strongest warriors." Azriel shouts.
"And apparently the smallest." Jason Sabre cracks irritating Azriel.
"MAAAALLLLICE!" Azriel shouts.
"I'm right here sir." Malice said.
"Find me something that makes my junk look huge." Azriel said.
"What is things I shouldn't say in public?" Jason says, parodying Jeopardy
"A thousand points for Jason Sabre." Detrick plays along as Azriel grits his teeth.
"Enough about my perfectly adequate man parts. I refuse to let you top me in High School. I hereby declare war on you." Azriel said.
"Whatever floats your boat. Now if you don't mind, I'm trying to kick off the new year, the right way." Jason said, motioning to Talia.
"I refuse to be ignored for a plastic tramp like this woman. You and I shall battle to the death right now." Azriel said.
"Did you just call me a tramp? I am classy." Talia said, causing Jason, Azriel, Detrick and Malice to all look at each other, not believing what they just heard.
"I will ignore her stupidity in favor of beating you up." Azriel said
"Dude, you don't want this fight." Sabre warns.
"Yes I do. I must prove that I am the King of this jungle, like Scar in the Lion King." Azriel said.
"Scar got beat up by Simba." Jason said.
"I didn't see that part. I got to the part where Scar killed Mufasa and turned it off. No point watching the rest after the Protagonist won." Azriel said.
"Scar wasn't the hero of the story Azriel." Jason Sabre said, stunned by that comment.
"You're lucky that you're pretty, because clearly you have no brains." Azriel said.
"Haven't I scored higher than you in every subject?" Jason mentions.
"That's it. Time to feel the Despair of King Azriel!" Azriel yells before hearing a whistle. He stops as Asher Darma appears in a blue polo shirt with a sticker on it that's in the shape of a badge.
"We will be having none of the fighting in the School of the High Caliber." Asher Darma said.
"Who are you?" Jason Sabre asked.
"I am Asher Darma, the Monitor of the Halls." He introduces himself, before shaking Jason's hand. Then the hand of Detrick. Then Azriel. Then Talia. Then Malice. All of whom, look confused.
"You mean Hall Monitor." Detrick chimes in.
"That is exactly what I said. Anyways. We should all be friends, because friendship is what makes the world go round." Asher said
"I will never be friends with someone like him. Also the world does not spin because of friendship. Read a book, you dork." Azriel said.
"Okay then. We still can't be fighting. So, I'd like to propose something that will allow you to vent your stress in a productive manner." Asher said, before handing both of them a poster.
"Battle of the bands." Jason Sabre said.
"Yes. In two weeks time this school will be hosting a Battle of the Bands. You two should form bands and compete." Asher Darma said.
"What does the winner get?" Azriel said
"Pride." Asher Darma said.
"I have no interest in that." Jason Sabre said.
"They'll also be giving two hundred dollars to every member of the band." Asher said.
"I'm in!" Both Azriel and Jason said at the same time.
"Great. Now go your separate ways peacefully." Asher said.
"Yes…. Peacefully…." Azriel said, before taking one step back. "Psyche!"
Azriel lifts up his leg, going for a surprise big boot, before a loud rip his heard. Jason Sabre cringes as laughter is heard throughout the hall.
"MAAAALLLIIIIICE! Get the sewing kit!" Azriel shouts as he tries to cover the massive hole exposing his rear end.
"There is no sewing kit." Malice replies.
"Steal one from home economics!" Azriel screams at his as the laughter has not died down.
A couple days later during lunch period Jason Sabre, Detrick Cyrus-Guerrero, Freddy Escobar-Guerrero, CJ Hawk and Natalia Rodriguez sit at a lunch table.
"Jason, I don't know how to play any instruments." Freddy Escobar said.
"You used to play the clarinet." Detrick mentions.
"I need a rockstar, not Squidward!" Jason said.
"Why are you taking this so seriously man? It's just Azriel." Detrick said.
"I need the money man." Jason replies.
"The smart money is on us winning and you guys have me in your band, so his band has to suck." CJ Hawk said.
"Hawk, how much money did you bet on us?" Detrick asked.
"None. I would get no money if I bet on us. It's that lopsided." CJ Hawk said.
"Well, it doesn't matter who wins. All that matters is that we help spread school spirit." Natalia said, causing all the guys to look at her.
"Natalia isn't allowed in the band." Freddy said.
"Hey, that's my girl you're talking about." Detrick said, punching Freddy in the arm.
"It's okay. I'm busy helping out in planning the event. It's going to be really cool guys. We're going to even have a celebrity guest." Natalia said.
"I'm glad Pepe from the Block is finally getting recognition." CJ Hawk said with a smile.
"No, CJ. Someone better. We're getting Chris Jericho from Fozzy!" Natalia said.
"Chris Jericho is a muppet." CJ Hawk, said confused.
"No, Chris Jericho has a band named Fozzy." Jason Sabre explains.
"He's playing here the day before the Battle of the Bands. Principal Pantera pulled some strings and got him to show up. Isn't that cool guys?" Natalia explains.
"Hmm…. Chris Jericho." Jason ponders, which Detrick notices.
"I don't like the look on your face." Detrick said.
"Listen, our band may be the favorite when it comes to betting, but I know a way to make sure we win that money." Jason grins.
Meanwhile, Azriel and Malice are behind the gym, where they spot Jesus Garza and Rey Aguayo on the lookout. Azriel tries to give them the 'Sup Nod'. He then nudges Malice. Malice rubs his shoulder, before doing the same 'Sup Nod'. Rey and Jesus look at each other, embarrassed and disgusted.
"Mira a este idiota" Rey Aguayo said.
"Hey. You don't do that here." Jesus said.
"Way to go Malice. You made me look uncool. You were too slow when doing it. It made it awkward. This better not affect my standing in the Hispanic community or I will destroy you." Azriel rants.
"Sorry lord." Malice sighs even though he wasn't the uncool one.
"So you guys are here to see the queen?" Rey asked.
"Yes." Azriel said.
"They're in the AV Club room." Rey reveals.
"Then why are you guys standing behind the gymnasium?!" An outraged Azriel asked.
"Because Sofia thought it would be funny to make dumbass fools like you walk all the way back inside the school." Rey explains.
"Well chico, you really made Malice look like a dumbass fool. You got'em." Azriel said, trying to shift the mocking over to Malice. Malice just sighs. "Start walking you dumbass fool."
"What am I doing with my life?" Malice says under his breath as Azriel and him walk away.
Malice and Azriel enter the AV room. The room is very dim. Soon, a gun is pointed at the heads of Malice and Azriel. Malice looks over to see Phoenix. While Sofia is seen pointing a gun at Azriel... Well at least his back.
"You can have Malice, just don't shoot me. I have yet to rule the world." Azriel pleads as Sofia presses the gun against his back.
"How did you guys get guns into the school?" Malice asks.
"Don't ask questions." Sofia said. "It ruins the fun."
"That's right. That's why you should let me go and shoot him. I am super fun." Azriel said
"Lord…." Malice narrows his eyes toward the seven footer that's about a foot and half taller than Sofia.
"I won't shoot and neither will he. If you have the entry fee to see the Queen." Sofia said, holding out her hand.
"Let me check, the King's royal bank account." Azriel said, before looking at Malice. "How much money is in your wallet?"
"I have twenty dollars and a nickel." Malice said
"Give it to her." Azriel demands
"But-"
"I don't have time for buts. I wish to live and if that means me losing all the money in my funds, so be it." Azriel said loudly.
"It's my funds." Malice said under his breath, before taking his wallet out and handing Sofia the twenty and the nickel. Sofia and Phoenix put their guns down. Sofia then points at a single table with a spotlight on it. There sits the Queen herself. Alexis Espinoza. She sits there with her hands clasped together as Azriel approaches with Malice. Two chairs are right there. Azriel sits down in one, but when Malice tries to pull his chair out to sit in it. Azriel grabs it, stopping the chair.
"You don't get to sit, after your pathetic display back there. You gave in so easily." Azriel said, causing Malice to sigh again. "What an embarrassment."
"So why are you here Azriel?" Alexis asked.
"Two reasons. One, I'm betting two hundred dollars on my band as the winners of the Battle of the Bands!" Azriel claims.
"Sir, we don't have the money." Malice said.
"Of course we do. Especially when we win the two hundred dollar prize and we double, or possibly even triple our profit." Azriel said.
"I'll have Sofia put that down." Alexis said. "So what's the second thing."
"How would you like to be the Queen of the future King of Despair?" Azriel asked raising both his eyebrows up and down, multiple times.
"I said no every year you've asked me that Azriel. I have the same answer this year." Alexis said, rolling her eyes.
"Is it because you're intimidated by my sex appeal and worry that I would cheat on you? Because I totally would have seven side pieces." Azriel said.
"No. It's because you're unremarkable in everything." Alexis said.
"Are you talking about me or Malice?" Azriel asked.
"Both. Anyways, thanks for your money. You can get out now." Alexis said, annoyed.
"Wait, I need some advice on how I can win the Battle of the Bands." Azriel said.
"Force the judges to vote in your favor." Alexis suggests.
"Brilliant, but which judge." Azriel said, causing Alexis to smile, a bit amused.
"How familiar are you with Fozzy?" Alexis asked
"I prefer Sesame Street." Azriel replied.
"Okay…. How familiar are you with Chris Jericho?" Asked Alexis.
"Very familiar. I loved it when he punched Shawn Michaels' wife." Azriel said.
Jason Sabre, Freddy Escobar, Detrick Cyrus and CJ Hawk are walking in some backstage area dressed as the Beatles.
"Hey man, what's the point of dressing like the Beatles?" Detrick Cyrus asked as he was dressed like John Lennon.
"What type of beetles have mops on their heads?" CJ Hawk said, dressed like Geroge Harrison.
"Better question, why the hell am I Ringo?" Freddy complains to Jason, who was clearly Paul McCarthy.
"Because you didn't bring the right Pizza." Jason Sabre said.
"How was I supposed to know that you wanted it from a Pizza restaurant and not from the frozen section of the Dollar General?" Freddy defends.
"That still doesn't explain why we had to dress like the Beatles." Detrick said, trying to keep quiet, unlike his friends.
"Because the opening act is a Beatles tribute act. Clearly security bought it." Jason said, before all four of them come to a stop as they see Azriel dressed like Ringo Star. "What the hell?"
"Who is this imposter?! I am the real Ringo!" Azriel points at Freddy.
"No, I'm the real Ringo!" Freddy said, pointing back at Azriel in vein of a Spiderman meme.
"Will you be quiet before we get found out and arrested?" Detrick said, still trying to keep the noise down to a minimum as people begin to notice.
"How did you know of my brilliant plan to kidnap Chris Jericho of whatever the hell this Fozzy band is and force him to vote my band as the winner of the Battle of the Bands?" Azriel asked, getting in Sabre's face.
"First off, It was my plan first. Secondly, I'm not kidnapping Jericho. Thirdly, where's you band? And lastly, if no one came with you, why the fuck did you decide to dress as Ringo?" Asked Sabre
"He was the best Beatle!" Azriel loudly declares.
"Will you five please ...Shut...the hell up!"
All five men look over to see Chris Jericho right in front of them.
"Wow ...Chris Jericho." CJ Hawk said in awe.
"Jericho, I have come to kidnap you and force you to vote my band as the winner of the Battle of the Bands." Azriel said.
"You're a Stupid Idiot." Chris Jericho said.
"Listen, Mr. Jericho, we're all huge fans of yours and we're begging you to vote for us." Detrick said.
"Yeah, I really need that money." Jason pleads.
"Oh yeah…. You think you're big Chris Jericho fans…. Then tell me your top five Fozzy songs." Chris Jericho said causing the group of five to look at each other, trying to think
"Um ...Judas" Jason said.
"Yeah, yeah, that." The other four go in agreement.
"Enemy." Detrick calls.
"Yeah, Yeah, that." The guys repeat trying to think
"He has a song called Sandpaper with Avenged Sevenfold's guy right?" Asked Azriel.
"Oh yeah. You can never forget Sandpaper." Jason said as Jericho watches unimpressed.
"You know what. I'm going to get a little bit of bubbly. And you guys…. You guys can get the hell out of here." Chris Jericho said, before the five guys notice a bunch of security guards surrounding them. Soon we cut to all five being kicked out of the arena and landing in the dumpster outside.
"This is all of your faults and Malice too." Azriel said.
"Speaking of Malice, where is he?" Detrick asked.
"His mom made him stay home for dinner. When I rule the world, I will behead her." Azriel states as he gets out the dumpster. Jason and his crew do the same.
"Azriel, why can't you give up?" Asked Jason.
"I won't rest until you are under my feet." Azriel said.
"No, dude, shut up. Seriously, why can't you just give it a rest for once. I need the money." Jason said.
"I will not be defeated by you again, Jason. Your selfishness will be your final downfall and I will become the King of our school, when my band crushes yours." Azriel said, sticking his finger out at Jason.
"Don't make me snap that in half." Jason threatens smacking the finger away.
"I see that I'm getting in your head." Azriel said, proud of himself.
"You're not." Jason Sabre said.
"I totally am. Score one for King Az." Azriel said
"Whatever King Ass." Jason said, before walking past Azriel.
"No, I said Az! It's King Az!" He yells as Freddy, CJ and Detrick walk past him.
A raucous crowd has filled the theater room of the high school. Chris Jericho, Pepe from the Block and Rey Pantera Sr are seen at the judges table as Azriel peers from behind the curtain.
"I can't believe all these people showed up to see me crush Jason Sabre in musical competition." Azriel said.
"It might be the other way around." Malice spoke to himself.
"What was that?" Azriel asked.
"Nothing lord. So, are you sure you can do this by yourself?" Malice asked.
"Of course. Ozzy didn't need Black Sabbath. Michael didn't need the Jackson 5. Ringo didn't need the Beatles. And I don't need a band to hold me back either." Azriel said, before seeing Jason, Detrick, Freddy and CJ walk up to go position of the stage. "Here comes the Losers of New School. Ha ha ha. That was good. Give me five."
Azriel raises his hand and Malice puts his head down as he high fives him.
"We're called Legends of New School." Detrick said.
"I liked the Hawk's nest better." CJ spoke up.
"No one asked for your thoughts." Jason said.
"I can't wait to watch you lose." Azriel said.
"Azriel, you and your band of imaginary friends are going to lose. I don't even need to tell you that, because deep down inside, you know." Jason said.
"I don't have any imaginary friends in the band. I am a solo act." Azriel states as they hear the voice of Natalia Rodriguez.
"Well guys, we're down to our last two acts." Natalia says.
"That's right. I'm closing the show." Azriel said. "Get out there and warm up the crowd for the star of the show."
"There won't be a crowd, because you're the post show and I'm the main event." Jason said, patting him on the arm and walking past the giant, grabbing a guitar on his way there.
"What a jerk." Azriel says to himself
"Ladies and gentlemen. Jason Sabre, Detrick Guerrero, Freddy Guerrero and CJ Hawk, the Legends of New School!" Introduces Natalia as she steps away and the curtains pop up to reveal Jason with a gutair and in front of the mic, Detrick on Bass, CJ on drums and Freddy on Clarinet.
"Freddy! Wrong instrument" Detrick said.
"Oh right." Freddy said, before running off stage and coming back, pushing out a turntable and putting on a pair of Beats by Dre over his neck.
"He knows that he's muted right?" Asked Jason.
"So is CJ." Detrick said.
"So are you. I got Natalia playing an instrumental in the background." Jason said.
"Then let's fake it till we make it." Detrick says as the song starts. A familiar guitar rift is heard as the crowd goes crazy. The lights turn to an orangish and yellow light bathes the entire gym as Detrick tries his best to fake the famous guitar as CJ Hawk randomly hits random parts of the drum with no consistency. Meanwhile Freddy is just spinning the pair of records on the turntables while head bobbing.
"He's using 90's music that describes the grungy feeling of the youth. This is unfair!" Screams Azriel from backstage
"Load up on guns, bring your friends. It's fun to lose and to pretend. She's over-bored and self-assured. Oh no, I know a dirty word" Sing Jason Sabre as girls go crazy while Jason succeeds at looking like a grungy badboy, even covering the front of his face with his hair while playing the gutair.
"Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello"
"He's pretty good. Man, he really is an Ace." Malice comments.
"I will be better!" Azriel declares. "This cover song is nothing compared to the original piece of art I made"
With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, entertain us. A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido. Yeah, hey" Jason finishes as the crowd pops loudly. Chris Jericho stands up and give them a round of applause with everyone else as all four boys take center stage.
"Man, I should be a DJ." Freddy said, proud of himself.
"I wouldn't look into that career just yet bro." Detrick advises. Natalia comes out onto the stage and hugs all four.
"You guys were great." She said off mic.
"Hey guys, for our next gig, can I get a drum solo?" CJ asked.
"No." The other three reject, before leaving the stage. The crowd dies down and start to leaves.
"No guys, there's one more person. I don't know how he'll top it-"
"And I will top it!" Azriel screams from behind
"But here's….the one man band-"
"Wow, Heath Slater." CJ smiles.
"Azriel and no one else, because only Azriel matters." Natalia announces, reading off a card, before stepping off the stage so the curtain can raise again to reveal Azriel.
"Oh…" CJ said disappointed.
"MAAAALLLLLIIIIIICCCE! Give me the instrumental." Azriel said, before Malice comes out with a Boombox and presses the play button, before Azriel pushes him off the stage. An instrumental of Old Town Road by Lil Nas X plays.
"I'm going to choke Jason in a hotel room
Gonna kill him…. Till I can't kill no more
I'm going to choke Jason in a hotel room
Gonna kill him…. Till I can't no more
Gonna jump him from the back, That booty gonna get smashed-"
"I can hear the Azriel/Jason shippers typing after that." Sofia comments.
"Satan gots my back
Malice holds my fanny pack
I'm gonna ride a black horse
wanna lick girl pores
I've been in church
They threw me off their porch now"
"This is awful…." Detrick said.
"He should've just sang Sandpaper." Freddy said
"Must've forgotten." CJ Hawk said
"You can never forget Sandpaper." Jason Sabre said.
"Everyone can see my penis
With a microscope, it's pretty humongous!"
At this point boos overwhelm Azriel
"Hey! I'm singing here!" Screams Azriel before a Tomato gets thrown at him. "Who threw that? I will annihilate you!"
Suddenly more tomatoes start to get thrown as we cut to the crowd where Sofia is holding a barrel of tomatoes.
"Tomatoes here! Only a dollar to throw it at Shitty Az X." Sofia promotes as people swarm her with money
"Stop it! I'm not done." Azriel said as he keeps getting hit with Tomatos. "MAAAALLLLIIIIICE! Help me!"
We cut to Jason Sabre walking to a decent sized house where there's a few little kids playing. An elderly lady sits in a rocking chair, watching them all play.
"Jason, how did it go?" The lady said as Jason leans over so she can kiss his cheek.
"We won." Jason said, before holding up the check for two hundred dollars. He hands it to her.
"Jason, you don't have to. You earned this for yourself." The old lady said.
"Mrs. Rosalinda, I didn't do the Battle of the Bands for myself, I did it for us. For the kids." Jason said, looking over at the three boys and two girls kicking a soccer ball back and forth. "This has been my home since my parents died. I'll never not give back to you and this place."
"You're growing up to be a respectable young man." Rosalinda said before Reyna, exited the house.
"In what world is he respectable?" Reyna said.
"How's the being half naked job going again?" Jason teased.
"I work at Hooters Jason." She said, hitting Jason in the arm.
"You guys should really consider behaving better in front of the young ones." Rosalineda said looking at the five children watching the teenagers fight.
"Nope." They both said at the same time.
Chris Jericho sits in his tour bus annoyed as he goes through his voice
"Chris….it is I, Azriel, future King of Despair and Ruler of Planet Earth, possibly Mars if I am bored. Anyways, I'm thinking you should reverse the decision-"
"This message has been deleted" says the phone as Jericho presses delete
"Hey, you haven't called back. I was wondering if you'd like to get together for coffee. Malice will pay and we can discuss plans on how to destroy Jason Sabre"
"This message has been deleted" says the phone as Jericho presses delete
"Hey Chris, it's me. Can I be on your podcast?"
"This message has been deleted" says the phone as Jericho presses delete
"Hey, it's your future god, Azriel. I just heard all of Fozzy's discography. I downloaded it all for free and I still want a refund."
Jericho groans
(Fade to Black)
A/N: This is the first of a few AU specials. They'll be done from time to time as a fun break.
