Chapter 2
A/N: Thanks to a friend that reviewed my fic personally, and two people who reviewed
about an hour and a half after I posted the first chapter, I decided to write the second
chapter, for better or worse. In the mean time I need more reviews I can't survive on hers
alone, plus she doesn't like it (stupid critical girlfriends) but thanks any way.
Disclaimer: Like I said in the first chapter they aint mine so stop bugging me.
PS. I would like to apologies to all the bands whose songs I am going to steal. My
meager writing talents don't reside in songs or poetry.
The Date
Tenchi, Mike, and Steve all stood in the basement of Steve's house. They had
gathered for a band practice witch was going well. They liked to screw around and play
other bands music for fun witch is what was happening now.
I was on my way
To be with you today
well you know it's true
Because I wouldn't lie to you
First my car broke down
So then I had to hitch a ride
I was almost there
When the motor died
Don't hate me forever
I'm better late than never
I failed you
I'm sorry
That's simply my life story
I know it's much too late
To take you on a date
I know that it's no use
But this is my excuse
I was in a plane
And it was falling from the sky
I knew I had to survive
So I could say goodbye
You change your mind
Like I change the time
That I was gonna call you
Or say I was about to
You change your mind
Like I change the time
I said that I would be there
But then I didn't have a thing to wear (My Life Story by MXPX)
The music could be heard blaring all the way across the street. It had been six weeks
since he had moved into town and Tenchi was doing fairly well. He had a part time job
at the local video rental shop and had started a band with Mike and Steve. He and Ryoko
had become close friends. Ayaka had also befriended him. And something good had
recently happened.
"Hey guys guess what." Tenchi called as the music died "I got us a gig."
"What?" Mike and Steve asked simultaneously,
"Yah, one of the customers at the video store owns a club and he offered us a chance to
play. Actually were opining for a local band, Stick Shift Nuts." Mike and Steve just
stared. "So Saturday night we go to the Shack." Tenchi said before picking up his guitar
and walking to the door. "See yawl at school."
Friday at lunch Tenchi and Ryoko sat giggling about some funny story from his
past, when he turned to here and asked "so you doing any thing Saturday night?"
"Uh.no plans, why?" "Oh nothing just wondering if you would like to come see the
band play. But if you have plans then I could ask Ayaka." "Oh I think I'll let you do that
since she'll be hanging all over you the whole time." "Grate, so I'll pick you up at 8?"
"Ok" "good this will finally give me an excuse to meat your parents." "most guys are
afraid of that and you are looking forward to it. Must be the Minnesotan water." "Hey
you know full well I'm not most guys." "So, that's beside the point. And anyway it's
time to go to class."
It was Saturday evening and Tenchi was waking up to the door of the Hackbut
residence. Just as he pressed the doorbell a tall pink haired woman opened the door and
said "You must be Tenchi. Hi I am Washu, Ryoko's mother." The woman extended a
hand for Tenchi to take. He shook it gently and bowed. "I have heard so much about
you. Gosh you are cute." The last was under her breath. "So I hear you are from St. Paul
is it big, what's I like to live there, want to be my genie pig?" "Mom stop pestering my
date." Both Washu and Tenchi looked at the top of the stairs to see Ryoko wearing a
plaid skirt that draped around her knees and a formfitting white button up shirt that had
the top two buttons undone. She smiled at Tenchi as she noticed him gawking. She
slowly made her way down the stairs "sorry you couldn't meet dad but he had to work."
She shrugged "I'll have her home by 2 at the latest Miss. Hackbut." Tenchi said before
opening the door for Ryoko "Oh and he's proper too." Washu said as they walked out the
door.
10 o'clock found Mike, Steve, and Tenchi on stage preparing to start. Out front
the owner was introducing them. "This is a new local punk band that I recently found
and we are going to give them a try so put your hands together for National History Day."
He walked off the stage clapping. Tenchi walked up to the mike "Hey how's it going uhh
were kinda new and haven't had much time to write our own songs so were startin off
with a few songs we like by other bands. So, without further ado hears Festival Song by
Good Charlotte." The band started up.
I don't care about a thing today
I use to but I'm fed up.
And I can hear the words you.
They only had fours songs that they were allowed to play so they started with Good
Charlotte, moved on to Simple Plan's I'm Just a Kid, then on to Alkaline Trio's Sorry
About That. Then after that song Tenchi said "Ok people this is a song I wrote about a
recently made friend, it's called Saying Goodbye."
She kisses everyone goodbye
And waves her middle finger high
They're never gonna mess with her again
The drama queen is seventeen
And sleeping with boys for free
She's got a reputation of being easy
Everytime they put her down, she makes a fist and the tears roll down
She packs her bags and plans to run away
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's wasted all her lonely tear drops
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's used up all her lonely tear drops now
She thinks about herself and cares about nobody else
because the only friends she has all put her down
They hate her when she's beautiful and even more when she's a fool
They talk behind her back when it's her birthday
Everytime they put her down, she makes a fist and the tears roll down
She packs her bags and plans to run away
And everytime she makes a friend, the vicous cycle starts again
She's never, ever, ever looking back
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's wasted all her lonely tear drops
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's used up all her lonely tear drops now
She's saying goodbye, she's wasted all her loney tear drops
Saying goodbye, she's used up all her lonely tear drops now
Everytime they put her down, she makes a fist and the tears roll down
She packs her bags and plans to run away from here
And everytime she makes a friend, the vicous cycle starts again
She's never, ever, ever looking back
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's wasted all her lonely tear drops
She's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
She's used up all her lonely tear drops now
She's wasted all her lonely tear drops now
As the music died there was a round of applause and the band walked off stage. "That
was an excelint performance by National History Day. We hope to see more of them but
now onto the main act Stick Shift Nuts."
Tenchi walked Ryoko to here door and said goodnight "that was a riley good
preference I liked that song you played at the end." Ryoko said as they reached the door,
"well that's probably because it is about you." Tenchi said offhandedly. "In any case I
had a great night." She said before kissing him on the cheek "goodnight." "Goodnight."
A/N: I hope you liked it. I apologies if it sucked but I wrote it between Midnight and
3:45 in the morning after a day of being drug around the mall by my Girlfriend so I'm a
little tired. I want to say sorry to the guys from Sugarcult for stealing your song but it
inspired this fic so just so you guys know I did not write Saying Goodbye. Review or I'll
hunt you down and chop your body parts off one by one with a dull spork.
