!#$%&() 5 YEARS LATER ()&%$#!
"Freddy!!! Get your ass over here!!!" Katie cried from another room- urgency in her voice. Freddy Jones rolled his eyes. They had been dating for four years- ever since Katie had figured out that that jerk Greg had been cheating on her. Freddy had been the one to be her knight in shining armor- joining her in California- and with relief they both freely started dating. Now they even had their own apartment along the beach!
"What is it?! Come here first!!" He yelled back. He was looking at a picture in the morning's newspaper. Upon it was a picture of a blonde woman smiling- the headline reading, "School Teacher Sets Up New Program to Help Children and Teens Avoid Smoking."
Marta. She had finally done it- after discussing with them at the third reunion of trying to start a program to help relieve herself from the death of her Mother. Freddy smiled. He had just finished the entertainment section of the newspaper as well.
Tomika's third CD's concert tour photo- with Alicia as background singer, Eleni and Michelle as dancers (all wearing fabulously unique designs by Billy and performing to fantastic computerisation effects by Gordon)- had taken up the front of that page. Everything was turning out great...
"This is more important! I'm on the phone with Summer and Zack!" Her voice echoed. Freddy rolled his eyes.
"Are they finally getting married or are they just calling to bug us?!" He laughed, folding the paper up and bringing it with him as he walked past the drum set, bass, keyboard, and guitar set up in the living room and to the kitchen and phone.
He saw Katie's expression and instantly new something was wrong. Her deep brown eyes which were usually so bright shone with tears- and a scowl erased the usual pout from her lips.
Freddy frowned, "What's up?"
"It's Dewey, Freddy. Dewey's... well... he's gone..." She choked out, pressing the speakerphone button. "Tell him, Zack!"
"We went to visit him last night and we found out that he got in a car accident. He was trying to haul new equipment to his apartment for our next reunion... and he back out into an intersection and, well... the rest is history, man..." Zack's voice croaked.
"The funeral is in two days..." Summer added. Freddy looked solemnly at Katie.
"We'll be there."
Summer sighed as she got up onto the podium to speak for Dewey Finn's final party.
"Ahem..." She tapped the microphone. Looking out into the crowd she saw Dewey's family, his friends, fans, all cloaked in dark sadness- all members of the band were dressed in black versions of Billy's Creations.
"I asked every member of the band to give me a final thing to say about Dewey for this. So...I just wanted to let you know that this is not all my speech here... Okay...
"Some know this man lying here before us as Dewey Finn... others as Mr. S or some other alias. Who knows? But we all knew him as the most kick-ass guy around. He taught us to live free- with rock in hearts and ears.
"He taught us to loosen up- to just tell people to step off every once and a while. To not be afraid of who we are- because we can blow people's minds if we want to. He taught us to be cool- to just chill. He taught us how to rock- to just let it all out! He taught us way too much to be crammed into this little speech!
"For me and the band... well, he was the best teacher anyone could ever have. And if the old guy isn't on the Highway to Hell- he's heading the Long Way to the Top to his own heaven where all the other dead rock stars reside.
"Dewey- if you're listening right now, we want you to let John Lennon, Cliff Burton, Bon Scott, Joey Ramone, Keith Moon, and all those other dudes up there know that we still love their music! We still love your music, too. The legend of the rent lives on, Dewey!
"When you brought us together five years ago- we were washed up losers stuck in a dumb daze. But with the strength of each other and you we became who we are today. You, that magic man, told us to rock the world, and now we are! We won't fail you Dewey- no matter how many times you told us to just give up because the world is run by the Man!
"So, Dewey, we've decided to put on a final show for you and the rockers up there who bit the dust. And to those of you out there- remember Dewey Finn as more than just a rocker- remember him as the greatest teacher there was. And here we go..."
With that, the band members all came up onto the make-shift stage and began to strum the Beatles, Let it Be, AC/DC, It's a Long Way to the Top, and finally, their song...
And for some reason it wasn't as sad as they thought. Dewey was probably having a blast up there- performing a Great Gig in the Sky. Dewey's final wish had always been for them to rock the world... and now they had.
((Sorry if it was a bit of a sad chapter for an epilogue and you all hate me for that. I kinda wanted to get through that they were all happy and that even when something they prized most was taken away from them they would stick it out together now and never give up and that they will continue following Dewey's wonderful path of rocking the world. Thanks for sticking through with me, everyone!!! You're all THE BEST!!!! Peace Out and Save the Llamas Kelsey:) :) :) ))
