Strange Frequency: Forever
Disclaimer; I don't own the VH1
movie, Strange Frequency. I don't own
Erik Palladino or Danny Masterson either; they are just locked in my basement
for the time being, along with Rivers Cuomo and Ashton Kutcher. (Don't worry, I feed them and give them
water. Also, this fic is finally one
that I have done that *isn't* slash.
(Other than my regular ER fics, 'Worry', 'Sheena is…'and 'Suzy is…', and
my lone Orgy fic, 'Like Father'.) ßCheap Plug… It means, Go Read Them!
Song: Forever, by the Beach Boys.
(Hey! They're rock too!)
Timeline: It's been a week since Randy died, and Buck
is being released from the hospital. He
goes to the cemetery where Randy is to be buried that morning.
Buck Mulvey stood over the grave of his
best friend, Randy Johnsson. It had been
a week since Buck had killed him in the car wreck. Buck had yet to forgive himself for the death. He saw him last when he said, "Who came back
into hell for me?" Those were Randy's
last real words to him, but he would tell everyone from that point on that his
last words were, "AC/DC always gets the heart pumpin."
If
every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd
talk forever (together my love)
Christine was also released
that day, and she came with Buck to comfort him. She squeezed his hands as he looked at his best friend, in a
box. Buck had cried for three days
straight when he heard that Randy had been killed. He knew it, but he had hoped that it was a morphine-induced
dream. The minister came to the head of the casket and said a few
words. Buck allowed himself to cry for
the first time in his life in public.
I ask the sky just what we had
Mmm It shone forever (together my love my my my…)
Randy was his everything. The
two of them were best friends throughout their lives; Hell, even their mothers
were friends when they were pregnant.
Buck remembered the times they shared; Tickets to three 'The Who'
concerts, seeing Led Zeppelin in 1977 when they were practically babies, seeing
Guns n' Roses in the 80's, right on up to Anthrax and Staind last year. Their last concert together was Metallica,
the concert which ultimately ended Randy's life.
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever (together my love my my my my)
Buck and Randy had even started a
band together. It stretched from their
freshman year, until the end of senior year.
They often sang together, and that brought them even closer to one
another. The minister began to toss
dirt on top of Randy's casket, doing the ashes to ashes speech. Buck's tears increased and he let himself
begin to sob for his best friend.
Forever
Forever
I've been so happy loving you
Do do do…together my love
Let the love I have for you
Live in your heart
And beat forever (together my love)
Forever
Forever
I've been so happy loving you…
The crowd around his casket watched
in grief as Randy's casket was lowered into the Earth. Buck finally broke down and dropped to his
knees weeping for his lost friend. The
times they shared, the things they'd done…
They'd done everything from hot wiring cars to sleeping with Stacy
Krebner together. Randy Johnsson would
no longer be there to do that stuff anymore.
He felt a pair of petite hands on his back and he saw Christine. Randy's final gift. Somehow, he'd convinced the Black Prince to
forget about Christine, allowing her to wake up again. Allowing her to heal Buck's heart.
Baby just let me sing it my baby
I wanna be singin' my baby
Baby baby baby my baby
Meanwhile, in Hell…
Randy looks at his friend through the mirror in the bathroom. A tear rolls down his cheek as he watches Buck
mourn. Buck Mulvey was actually crying
for something. He knew that he would be
all right with Christine, and even though he was stuck in a Disco for all
eternity, he was happy for Buck.
I wanna be singin'
I wanna be singin' my baby
Oh oh oh oh
My my my my my my
Buck says his final goodbye as the dirt is piled on top
of Randy. The mirror in Hell's Crapper
now shows Randy's plain reflection, and he turns around to face Satan. He looks happy, nods his thanks, and makes
to walk back out onto the dance floor.
Satan pulls his arm back, and says something into Randy's ear. Randy's blue eyes open wide in surprise. Satan points to a white stairway. Randy begins to walk up it…
So I'm goin' away
Mmm but not forever
Na na na na
I gotta love you anyway
Forever…
Okay, I know. My
song fics suck, but hey, I'm trying new stuff.
I know that this sucked, so… Hmmm… The song 'Forever'
is a good one to download; in fact, pretty much any Beach Boys song is good to
get.
In a weird and twisted way, this is my own tribute to the
late Dennis Wilson, the cutest member of the group. (Up until he died in 1981, I believe…) Anyway, tell me what you think, and that's about it.
