Okay, I know this chapter is short, but it was necessary to fill in some things you need to know in order for this story to flow smoothly. Just trust me. Oh and I think it's about time I used a disclaimer…well I don't own anything that has to do with School of Rock, Ozzy, Metallica, etc. Enjoy!

The June morning dawned bright and crisp. The members of School of Rock were crowded in the parking lot by Dewey's old apartment. There was a high feeling of anticipation and excitement in the air. The kids were all wearing gray t-shirts with the School of Rock insignia on the front. Billy even had to make them outfits for in between shows.

Especially eager to go was Zack. He couldn't wait for this to start. As the kids milled around the parking lot, waiting for Dewey, Summer passed out schedules.

"Okay people, listen up." Summer lined the rest of the group, everyone included, and paced in front of them as she instructed them. She was the only member not wearing a design by Billy; she was wearing a smart business suit. Typical Summer. "All right. As you know, we are soon embarking on our first ever tour-"

She was cut off by a snicker from Freddy and Frankie, still the troublemakers. "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Freddy laughed to Summer.

"AHEM. As I was saying, we are gong to travel to approximately 20 cities in the next month. That means a different city every few days. I know it's a small tour, but we can't start out huge. We will be traveling via a tour bus, which Dewey is late in arriving with, and staying overnight in various hotels. Do I make myself clear?" The whines she knew were coming started up.

"Why can't we go to like 30 cities?"

"Why can't we start big?"

"I don't want to travel in a bus, that's so totally gonna cramp my style!"

"Eww what if we stay in a dirty hotel?"

"What if-"

"QUIET!" Summer snapped briskly. I don't care what you're whining about, I really don't. But you had better give me a top-notch performance every single night of this tour or-"

Zack, surprisingly, cut her off this time. "Or you'll get revenge on us?" He tried to keep a straight face, but one small snort from Freddy and the pair were roaring with laughter. Getting to Summer's last nerve was always a highlight to their day.

"I QUIT. I'LL BE IN THE VAN WHEN YOU'RE READY TO GROW UP AND PLAY SOME MUSIC!" she shouted.

"Summer, what are you talking about? I thought you said the bus wasn't here yet?" Katie asked.

Summer sighed exasperatedly, then pointed down the road. "It'll be here in a few seconds…hold on, I've gotta go." Summer pulled out her cell phone and answered a call from Dewey.

"ALLLLLLLLLL ABOARRRRRRRRRRD HAHAHAHAHHAHA!" Dewey's voice blared from the phone. Summer shrieked and dropped it.

As the giant bus pulled up, all fifteen kids could hear "Crazy Train" booming, Dewey yelling along with it, a maniac grin on his face.

"Come on, guys! New York City, prepare to be rocked and rolled!"

So. Now you guys know the basics about what this tour will be like. I'm sorry it was so short! The first incident will take place in the next chapter, I promise. I've finished Angels and Demons (which I like better than The Da Vinci Code) and I'm almost done with Harry Potter 3. I'll hopefully get the next chapter up by Friday. Now leave me a little review, you know you want to…
