Birthday Boy
G
No pairings in mind, but you can interpret any way you want to.
1/1
Note: This takes place after this season, and after whatever would be the end of RFR. They've all graduated and gone to work/live in other places. A future fic, if you will. I don't own the birthday song, Lily sang it to Travis in "Zen..." but I DO own the first two lines that Lily 'sings'
Summary: Lily and the guys still love birthdays.

"His mama taught him well
He told me that he thinks I'm swell!"
Lily Randall grinned as she ended her song in a strong guitar riff and looked out at the audience, screaming and crying.
"This next song goes out to a friend of mine on his special day, his birthday. I know you're listening. I know you're all listening, and I think you know who you are."
//This song will find you wherever you are
You can go high and low
Or near and far//
Travis Strong smiled as he streamed Lily's concert through his computer. Today, he was 23. But it was like she was singing to him, back in RFR headquarters all over again.
After graduation, Travis moved back to Europe to study and "find himself". What he found was a great observatory, but slightly neglected. Two years later, the local university began using it daily, as well as Travis, among other widely-known astronomers.
// From the plains of Alberta
To the ports of Zanzabar//
Ray Brennan laughed as he sat at his desk, watching Lily, knowing his other partners in crime were watching soon.
Ray looked away from his media played to find that Travis had signed on. The joys of the internet. Lily was in Texas, Travis was in Japan, and he was in New York, working Saturday Night Live.
123pronto: she's kicking ass out there.
smokeandfog: yup. this is truly suffering, which will ultimately help me grow and learn, like Gandhi said, but right now all I want is to be back at headquarters with all of us together again.
123pronto: happy birthday, swami.
Ray grinned, remembering the first time he met Travis, the first time they went on air and what a disaster it was, and all the times they had, right up until Lily got signed with Capitol Records at the end of their senior year.
// When you feel you're but a distant star
This song will find you//
Robbie McGrath watched Lily sing her heart out, and then noticed that his buddy list was lit up. He set down the play list for tomorrow and started typing.
exclimationmark: she's doing great.
123pronto: yup. never doubted her for a minute
smokeandfog: i remember her first single---and now she's practically a world-wide phenomenon!
exclimationmark: ahh, i remember her first single too. and the drama.
123pronto: Guess it's what made us who we are today.
exclimationmark: he's starting to sound like you, birthday boy.
smokeandfog: never.
Robbie grinned as he turned back to Lily's face on his computer screen.
// It'll sneak up behind you
Just to remind you
How special you are//
Lily held the last note for as long as she could, then took a huge bow as the crowd went mad.
"Happy Birthday. You know who you are, birthday boy, and you know how special the rest of you are to me." Lily said, staring right at the camera in front of her, knowing full well that her boys were watching.
"Thanks again, Dallas! It's been my pleasure!" Lily said as her band launched into the patented "exit" song.
Lily smiled as she grabbed the towel that was handed to her and headed straight to her tour bus, where she knew her three best friends would be, waiting for her in cyberspace.
