"Mhmm, good morning." Ava smiled looking over at Roger, who was leaning on his elbow staring down at her. They were in a hotel room in Los Angeles on tour.
"Good morning Baby." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"Are you ready for today?" she smiled rolling over to face him.
"I don't know. How crazy is it gonna be?" he asked playing with her hair.
"It's gonna be insane. We have to do a talk show and then we have rehearsals and wardrobe fittings. Things are different out here than it is at home." she told him playing with his chest hair.
"Home. We haven't talked about that yet, have we?" he asked looking over at her.
"What do you mean Baby?" she asked looking up at him.
"Where's home gonna be?" he asked looking over at her.
"Roger, where ever you want it to be. I don't care where we live, as long as I'm living with you, I'm happy." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"How about we get a place in the village? We can still be close enough to the loft, but not have to worry about everyone under our feet." he smiled looking over at her.
"That is an excellent idea. So I guess home is the village." she smiled looking up at him.
"What about your house in Hicksville?" he asked looking down at her.
"I only bought it when my mom moved to Florida, and I didn't want to lose the last place I ever saw you. But we can keep it because it's close to your parents." she said as he brought her close to him.
"That's a great idea Baby But it's OK, I'm back now and I'm not going anywhere." he said leaning down to kiss her head.
"I know Roger." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"I love you Ava." he smiled kissing her harder.
"I love you too Roger." she smiled crawling on top of him.
"Hey Davis', are you up yet?" Jimmy called out knocking on the door.
"I'm gonna kill him." Roger groaned looking up at Ava.
"No you're not. If you kill him, who's gonna play drums. You can kill him after the tour is over." she laughed climbing off of him.
"Good point. I'll wait." he laughed looking over at her as they put their robes on to answer the door.
"Hey Rog. You still look like shit in the morning." Jimmy laughed patting Roger's chest as he entered the room.
"Be careful Jimmy, he wants to kill you right now." Ava laughed looking over at him sweeping her hair back.
"I interrupted sex, huh?" he laughed sitting on the chair in the corner of the room.
"Did you want something or did you come to torture us?" Roger said looking over at him.
"I just came to make sure you guys were up. We have to get ready for Leno." he smiled looking up at them.
"Leno? You didn't tell me we were going on Leno." Roger said looking over at Ava.
"Roger, I said talk shows. Which ones did you think I was talking about? Leno's the big time." she smiled looking over at him.
"Leno. Oh man. I don't know if I'm ready for that." he said looking down at her.
"Roger, it's OK. You performed in Madison Square Garden. Baby, you can do this. We're gonna do Tonight is What it Means to Be Young. You know that song better than anything. You can do this. Don't worry about it." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"Ugh, I hate when you're like this." he groaned looking into her blue eyes.
"What am I like?" she asked smiling up at him innocently.
"So confident. You have such faith in me." he said looking down at her.
"Roger, you're as good as they come and you and me wrote that song together.No one knows it better than you. We're gonna be great. I promise." she smiled pulling him into a passionate kiss.
"OK, I'm out of here. Don't take too long. Leno's people said they want us there for sound check." Jimmy smiled looking over at them before leaving the room.
"Thank you Jimmy." Ava called out laughing as Roger picked her up and carried her to the bed.
"Now, where were we?" Roger asked dropping her on the bed before crawling on top of her.
"I believe we were right here." she laughed pulling him off of her so that she was on top of him.
"I remember now." he smiled leaning up to kiss her passionately as they began making love.
"So this is Leno?" Roger asked looking around as they entered the studio.
"Yep. It's bigger then it looks on tv, huh?" Ava smiled with her arm around his waist.
"Much bigger. Wow." he said looking around.
"Just think, you performed in front of more people at the Garden." June said looking up at him.
"Yeah, if you don't count all the people seeing it on tv." he said as Jimmy stood by the stage sitting behind his drums.
"Roger, don't worry about it. You're gonna be amazing." Ava smiled holding him closer as they started soundcheck.
"And now to perform her new song Tonight is What it Means to Be Young, it's Avalon." Jay Leno announced as the audience cheered for them.
As the music started Ava smiled over at Roger. He looked so confident playing his guitar. She grabbed the microphone and began singing. "I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach and the perfect waves are starting to come, his hair is flying out in ribbons of gold, and his touch has got the power to stun, I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest, enchanted by the edge of a lake, his body's flowing in the jewels alive, and the earth below is starting to shake, but I don't see any angels in the city, I don't hear any holy choirs sing, and if I can't get an angel, I can still get a boy, and a boy'd be the next best thing, the next best thing to an angel, a boy'd be the next best thing, I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle, and he's dancing like a cat on the stairs, he's got the fire of a prince in his eyes and the thunder of a drum in his ears, I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star, lookin' down upon the rim of the world, he's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me, I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl, I've got a dream when the darkness is over, we'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun, but it's only a dream and tonight is for real, you'll never know what it means, but you'll know how it feels, it's give me be over (over), before you know it's begun, (before you know it's begun), it's all we

gone ." Ava sung centering around Roger. The audience roared with applause.
"Wow. Now, is this gonna be on your new album." Jay Leno asked leaning down to hug Ava.
"Yeah actually. Roger and I wrote it about 11 years ago when we were in high school." Ava smiled as Roger joined her at center stage.
"11 years? So are the rumors true? Are you and Roger dating?" he asked looking over at her.
"Actually, we got married the other day. We broke up 10 years ago and just recently reconnected." she smiled putting her arm around his waist.
"Well congratulations. You two look really happy." he smiled looking over at Roger who was smiling down at her.
"We are." Roger smiled looking over at Jay.
"Now, you guys just played New York, right? What was that like?" he asked looking down at Ava.
"It was amazing. I love New York very much. I can be myself in New York." she smiled looking up at Roger.
"Well you've just launched your west coast tour, right?" he said looking over at them.
"Right, we're playing here in LA tonight and tomorrow night and then we're in Las Vegas." Ava smiled looking up at Jay.
"Well, thank you Avalon. Don't miss Avalon tonight and tomorrow and all across the west coast." Jay Leno announced clapping as Ava, Roger, Jimmy and June left the stage.
"That was incredible." Roger smiled looking up at them.
"You were perfect Baby." Ava smiled looking up at him wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I can't believe I was on Leno." he said leaning down to kiss her.
"Well you were Baby." she smiled holding him close.
"That was better than any high I've ever experienced." he said kissing her head.
"That's what I'm saying." she laughed looking over at him.
"Wow. I have to call Mark." he smiled looking down at her.
"Already taken care of. They'll be tuning in tonight. And I told them to make sure they tape it for us." she smiled looking up at him.
"You are the best wife ever." he smiled kissing her again.
"I know." she laughed looking into his eyes.
"Come on guys. We have to go to rehearsal and get ready for the show." Jimmy smiled looking over at them.
"Sorry Jimmy. Let's go Baby." Roger smiled looking down at Ava.
"OK Baby." she smiled as they began to leave the studio.
