Part 4: Calvin + Beer=Trouble
It was an hour till show time and everyone was fueling up on food for energy. For Calvin this meant getting some beer into his system, as he had turned 21 a month ago.
However, Calvin had a nasty habit of getting over-drunk, and that wasn't pretty. The last time it had happened he was in the bathroom for 12 hours. No one had bothered watching him until he walked into the refreshments table.
"Oh no, not tonight. ANY night but tonight," moaned Susie as soon as they knew their friend was drunk.
"Calvin! CALVIN! CALVIN!" Toby yelled into his friends face. Calvin just barfed on him.
"Ew," Candace commented wrinkling her brow.
"We have bigger problems people!" Susie said frantically. "Calvin's the only one who knows how to sing half these songs and the ONLY one who can play guitar! This concert is dead."
"Not necessarily," Toby grinned slyly.
"Come on Toby be logical for once," grumbled Candace.
"I am. Susie, go get me a slice of chocolate cake NOW!" Toby instructed.
"I don't see what good this is going to do but ok," Susie commented and returned with a slice of chocolate cake on a paper plate.
"Now watch and learn," Toby laughed smashing Calvin's head into the cake. A few moments passed.
"TOBY! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?" thundered a now sober Calvin.
"You were drunk Calvin," Susie said, impressed by Toby's method.
"Great, now we got a show to do," Calvin said picking up his black fender and Hobbes.
"Why are you bringing your stuffed tiger on stage?" Candace asked.
"He's my good luck charm," Calvin said walking over to his amps and plugging everything up.
Everyone else did the same as Susie approached the microphone.
"HELLLOOOOOO NEW YORK CITTTTTTTTY!" she shouted into the microphone. The crowd's roar was deafening.
"Susie, shut up and start the first song already!" Calvin said into his microphone.
"Oh put a sock in it Calvin! But we will start with a NEW song none of you guys have ever heard! Infact, Calvin just wrote it. It's called "Into the Jungle" and well, let's rock!" Susie grinned cheerfully as Candace began to play the slow rhythm on the drums. Calvin and Toby played along as Susie began to open her mouth.
It was do or die time for the band.
