-Thanks to all my reviewers, you all rock! I think this is going to be the last chapter. I'm skipping over the rest of the week, because nothing happens, so please don't get mad or anything. Anyways, if you like The Who, or if you have some free time, please check out my fic Quadrophenia. I wrote it about a month ago and I thought it was pretty good, but I didn't get many reviews. But you don't have to read it if you don't want to. Anyways, here's the chapter!!!-

The week passed by until it was finally Friday. The band was at the recording studio, finishing up the dubs. It was mostly Dewey that had to work on dubs because he was back up guitar. When they finished, everyone was really happy. They wanted to go celebrate, but they couldn't because they had a gig. So the band loaded up in Dewey's van and he drove to Ziggy's.

As the van bounced along the road, Katie smiled. Not only had she just finished recording her first album, but she had a gig tonight and Summer had kept her secret! Everything was going really great for her right now. Lost in her thoughts, Katie was surprised when Zack tapped her shoulder. She looked up and realized that they were the only two in the van; they were at Ziggy's.

They headed inside, into the back room, where everyone else was gathered. Katie started tuning her bass while everyone else got warmed up. She'd been practicing her solo for My Generation at least five times a day, and she was pretty sure she had it down. She just hoped she didn't screw up.

She began to pretend pluck the strings, just making sure she remembered the notes. Suddenly, a loud noise shocked her. She looked out the side door of the room and saw that the opening band had begun to play. The band's name was Gold Star(a/n when I went to the actual Ziggy's to see the Psychedelic Furs, Gold Star opened for them, and Gold Star SUCKS!!!).

Gold Star really sucked. Really really sucked. They were just totally awful. Dewey got up from the chair he was sitting in and closed the side door. The noise was a little less. "They really suck" Zack said. Everyone nodded their heads solemnly. Gold Star was doomed to fail in everything.

Finally Gold Star stopped playing. The lights in the club went black, like they had before the sucky band had come on. Summer went over the play list quickly, making sure everyone knew it. She went over notes that people had missed at the last gig, trying to make sure that they got them right this time. "And," she said finally, "I'll have cups of water set up for you when you finish the set. Drink them quickly, and then go out and play the encore. Got it? Okay, everybody, let's rock!!!"

The roadies checked to make sure that everything was in working order, and the security guards were posted near the doors. Katie picked up her bass and walked along with the rest of the band onto the stage. She plugged the bass into the amp and was read to go.

The lights in the club came on and people started screaming and whistling. Dewey started playing the intro to their first song, and the crowd went crazy. Katie didn't have much work to do, so she just thought. And she realized that this would be the beginning of the end of their gigs at Ziggy's. The album would come out soon, and they would tour to support it. Then, hopefully, they would be big stars and they wouldn't ever play small clubs again.

It was sad, because Katie loved Ziggy's. It was a crappy little shack, but it held so many special memories of great gigs. And tonight she would make another memory when she played her first live solo. Katie practically quivered with anticipation.

When finally the set was over, the band ran backstage. Summer gave them all a congratulatory smile, but pulled Dewey over and began to yell at him in a whisper as he drank his water. The band downed their water quickly and then Summer pushed everyone back onto the stage.

The crowd went wild again. Dewey came up to the mike.

"Hey everybody! We're back to play one more song for you. It's called My Generation, originally by The Who." The crowd screamed, and then Dewey continued. "To make it an authentic Who sound, I won't be playing guitar, only singing, and Laurence will be sitting this one out too. Let's get rockin!!!"

Zack played the opening chords for My Generation. He was using an older guitar that used to be Dewey's, and he was wind milling often in a true Townshendian style. Katie plucked her bass, and since there wasn't another guitar playing, her notes were coming out strong. Dewey sang the words, and between every line the back up singers sang, "Talkin bout my generation!!!"

They got through the first two verses and then it was time for the bass solo. Katie plucked the strings with ferocity, and in between each bit Zack played his guitar. The crowd roared and whistled and Katie smiled. Dewey sang the final verse and prepared to walk off the stage. But the rest of the band wasn't done yet. Zack took his guitar and started jamming it into the amps. Then he held it high above his head and sent it crashing down. He smashed it to bits while the crowd went wild.

Freddy, playing Keith Moon for the song, began to kick his drums out. He threw them around the stage while Katie played her bass stoically, just like John Entwistle. Dewey smiled as he saw what they were doing and began singing the first verse over again, except this time he took the mike by the string of wire that attached it to the amp. he twirled it around in the air, imitating Roger Daltrey.

But Dewey had had no practice in swinging mikes. He nearly hit Katie and was about an inch away from giving Zack a serious concussion. Meanwhile, Freddy was still tearing up his drums, until all he had left were the cymbals, which he continued to play as Dewey continued to swing the mike.

Dewey swung the mike out into the audience, sparking cheers. Unfortunately, he tried it again and hit a guy squarely in the face. Summer, who was watching the debauchery from the side of the stage, freaked out and called medical help immediately. Then she dragged Dewey and the rest of School of Rock off the stage.

Once they were in the side room, Summer started lecturing Dewey, Zack, and Freddy on their antics. The band packed up their stuff and headed out to the van, with Summer still lecturing.

The band started loading into the van, when Katie heard someone yell, "Hey!" She turned around and saw a girl with brown hair running towards her. The girl reached Katie and said, "Hey, I just wanted to tell you, you guys played an awesome encore! It was just so...authentic. And your solo rocked!!!" Katie smiled and said, "Thanks."

The girl said, "Well, I gotta go." She started to walk away, but then turned back and screamed, "You guys rock!!!" (a/n that girl was me, because I felt like putting myself in there.)

Katie hopped into the van and Dewey revved the engine. She clutched her bass and smiled. She had a feeling that the album was going to do great, and that School of Rock was going to be famous. And that she'd be getting some more bass solos soon.

-Review it please! I'll probably do a few one shots after this, then I've got a full fledged story in the works, so look out for those!!!-
