Disclaimer. The usual.
At the park alex had already gotten the drums set up, as he was doing it, a crowd was attracted to him
"what is he doing?" "I don't know, but knowing him, without dorothy around it can't be good" isn't that another of Dorothy's friends over there with the guitar?" "what's with the mic set up?" "isn't that a radio?"
These were the whispers they all heard. It wasn't trouble they would, suddenly however the communications radio crackled to life. Alex immediately ran over to it and picked up the mic.
"Hello? Testing 1 2 3." Alex said.
"You're coming in clear." Came Dorothy's voice.
Immediately Ellie, Madeline, Jack, and Jon ran over.
"Dorothy how's California?" Ellie asked.
"it's nice, alex why did you send me a radio?" dorothy asked.
"it was my uncle's idea; besides, it was the best way we could get you a surprise." Alex said.
"what surprise?" dorothy asked.
Alex said nothing he simply chuckled.
"dorothy, my dear, I think it be best you stay tuned in for a bit, oh and say hi to the Hugsons' for me." Jon said.
"Zeb and Melinda are here with me, Jon what's going on?" Dorothy asked.
"Just wait a few moments my dear, and you'll hear everything you need to hear." Jon said.
"okay, Madeline, Jack, get ready for back up, Ellie, you ready?" Alex asked.
"yes sir." Ellie said.
"Jon?" Alex asked
"When every you want to count it off." He replied.
"okay, then, Well, time to give the town a little love." Alex said.
"Alex?" Dorothy asked.
"okay guys, on the count." Alex said.
Everyone nodded and looked at him. Immediately he tapped out a rhythm with his drum sticks and with that they began playing.

Alex then finished it off with a bit of a drum solo. As they finished a roar of applause came at them.
"Thank you, we'll always be around, but I wanted to give dorothy a gift, that also brought some color back to this town, bring it back its energy." Alex said.
"Encore." They heard Betsy scream from the crowed.
"Alex, that was beautiful." Came Dorothy's voice from the radio.
"Happy valentine's day dear." Alex said.
"I miss all of you very much, is ace there?" Dorothy asked.
"Yep." Aislynn said managing to push her way through the crowd.
"Aislynn when you get home, tell auntie Em that uncle bill loves the cinnamon candies she sent." Dorothy said.
"I hear you loud and clear sweetie." Em said pushing her way through the crowd as well picking up the microphone.
"Auntie Em, are the triplets with you?" Dorothy asked.
"No, they're still at home with uncle henry." Em said.
"hello, Emily, its Mels, am I coming in clear?" came Melinda's voice from the radio.
"Roger that Mels." Em said.
"Auntie Em, Auntie Melinda said you have a radio just like this one at home." Dorothy said.
"We do, it's at the back of the storm cellar, you must have walked passed it at least 100 times." Em said.
At that moment, the sound of dorothy chuckling emitted from the radio.
"Well, I should get this set up in my room, I love you all, I miss you all." Dorothy said.
"We miss you too dorothy." Alex said.
"Alex, also, do me a favor." Dorothy said.
"anything dear." Alex replied.
"keep up the good work." Dorothy said
"I will dear." Alex said.
"Sweetheart, keep that radio on at all times, if you need anything, just call us." Em said
"Oh, and dorothy?" Madeline asked.
"Yes Maddie?" Dorothy replied.
"I made another hat for you, with red and white stripes, I think it's my best one yet." Madeline said.
"I can't wait to see it." Dorothy replied.
"Well, we'll leave you for now dorothy, I have to ask my uncle if I can keep the radio for now." Alex said.
"Alright, well, I'll talk to you later then?" Dorothy asked
"of course." Alex said
"dorothy, we miss you." Trot said pushing her way through the crowd with Betsy
"I miss you all too, give my love to the others." Dorothy said.
"Dorothy, I'm shutting off the radio now, I'll talk to you tonight if your aunt lets you." Alex said.
"She can talk to you whenever you're both available." Came Melinda's voice.
"Mels don't encourage her, goodbye." Em said switching off the radio.
"alex?" Mr. Alistair asked
"yes uncle?" Alex asked.
"I've had this radio since before I was your age, if I'm going to let you borrow it then I have to know that you'll be careful with it." Mr. Alistair said.
"uncle, I promise." Alex said.
"I want your word." Mr. Alistair said.
"cross my heart, once its set up I'll never try to move it." Alex said.
Mr. Alistair stared at his nephew for a moment. He then closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded.
"Emily, can you help him with it?" Mr. Alistair asked turning to Em.
"Sure alexander." Em said.
