Chapter Four
Moe's 18th Birthday Bash

The days fly by and now it's Moe's 18th birthday but only person that knows is Mazz.
Deedee and Rooney came into Doodlebop Central.
Moe is sitting on the couch with his head buried in his hands.
Rooney looks at Moe.
"Why aren't you hiding?" Rooney asks.
"I just don't feel like it today." Moe answers between sobs.
Deedee walks over to Moe and sits down next to him.
"What's wrong?" Deedee asks.
"I don't want to talk about it." Moe answers.
"Oh please…you know you can tell me anything." Deedee says.
Moe shakes his head than gets his to feet and leaves Doodlebop Central.
"Wow…that was strange." Rooney replies.
"Should I go after him?" Deedee asks.
"I think you should just let him be alone for awhile." Rooney answers.
Moe is sitting under a tree at the park.
A couple young girls approach him.
"What's the matter?" The first young girl asks.
"I'm just upset because a friend of mine didn't tell my other friends that today is my birthday." Moe answers.
"Oh well happy birthday." The second girl says.
Moe smiles a little.
"What are you names anyway?" Moe asks.
"My name is Beth and this is my friend Jana." The first young girl answers.
"Oh those are nice names." Moe says.
"Aren't you Moe from the Doodlebops?" Jana asks.
"Yes I am." Moe answers.
"How old are you today?" Beth asks.
"I am 18 years old today." Moe answers.
"Wow…I always thought you were older than that." Jana says.
Meanwhile back at Doodlebop Central
Deedee is pacing back and forth.
Mazz and Bob come into Doodlebop Central.
"What's going on in here?" Mazz asks.
"Moe took off" Rooney answers.
Bob looks at Deedee.
"Why are you pacing?" Bob asks.
"I'm worried about him" Deedee answers.
"Worried about whom?" Bob asks.
"Moe, of course, because he should've been back by now." Deedee answers.
Rooney walks over to Deedee and hugs her.
"I'm sure he's just fine and he knows how to look after himself." Rooney says.
Mazz lets out long sigh.
"What's wrong?" Bob asks.
"I think I may know the reason why he left." Mazz answers.
"What are you talking about?" Deedee asks.
"Um…I should've told you guys what today is." Mazz answers.
"What do you mean?" Rooney asks.
"Today is Moe's 18th birthday." Mazz answers.
"What?" Deedee asks.
"You heard me Dee." Mazz answers.
"No wonder he was so upset." Deedee says.
"What are you going to do about it?" Keely asks.
Hannah smiles a little.
"I have an idea." Hannah answers.
"What is your idea?" Deedee asks.
"My idea is that we though him the best surprise party he's ever had because it's not everyday that you turn 18." Hannah answers.
Deedee smiles.
"You know that's a good idea and I have to go out for a little bit so you guys will have to manage the surprise party without me." Deedee says.
"Where are you going?" Rooney asks.
"There's something I need to do." Deedee answers.
Deedee grabs Moe's drumsticks.
"What are you going to do with those?" Mazz asks.
"It's a surprise so you'll just have to wait and see." Deedee answers.
Deedee grabs her purse the puts the drumsticks in it and leaves Doodlebop Central.
Moe is walking around the streets and sees Deedee than runs to catch up to her.
"HEY DEEDEE!" Moe yells.
Deedee hears someone calling her name and she turns to where she heard her name being call than notices Moe running towards her.
Moe finally catches up to Deedee.
"Where have you been?" Deedee asks.
"I just need some time alone that's all." Moe answers.
"Oh okay you just worried me." Deedee says.
"What are you up to anyway?" Moe asks.
"I can't answer that because it's a secret." Deedee answers.
"Well I'm going to head back to Doodlebop Central now." Moe says.
"Um…no…ah…you can't go just stay with me for awhile." Deedee replies.
"Why can't I go back to Doodlebop Central?" Moe asks.
"That's part of the secret and if I told you it would ruin it." Deedee answers.
Moe sighs.
Deedee starts to walk away and Moe follows her.
They walk to a musical store.
"Why are we here?" Moe asks.
"I can't tell you that either so please just stay out here and wait for me." Deedee answers.
Moe sighs than sits down by the door.
Deedee walks into the store.
A young man is working in the music store and looks up when Deedee walks in.
"What can I help you with Miss?" The young man asks.
Deedee walks over to the young man than takes out Moe's drumsticks and puts them on the counter.
"I would like to get these personalized." Deedee answers.
"What do you want on them?" The young man asks.
"I want the name Moe on them because that is the name of person that owns them and it would make that much more special to him." Deedee answers.
The young man nods his head and than takes the drumsticks out back.
Deedee smiles than starts walking around the store to look for something else for Moe.
All of a sudden a musical note necklace catches Deedee's eye.
The young man sudden appears with Moe's drumsticks.
"Did you find anything you like?" The young man asks.
"Um…yeah I'd like to know how much this music note necklace is." Deedee answers.
"You're in luck today because it's on sale for 5 dollars today." The man says.
Deedee smiles.
"How much do I owe you for both?" Deedee asks.
The man smiles.
"It all comes to 15 dollars and by the way my name is Liam." The man answers.
Deedee smiles a little.
"My name is Deedee Doodle." Deedee says.
"Are you from the Doodlebops?" Liam asks.
"Yeah I am." Deedee answers.
"That's so cool." Liam says.
Deedee gives Liam the money for the necklace and for personalizing the Moe's drumsticks.
Liam puts the drumsticks and the necklace into a bag for Deedee.
Deedee walks outside and looks around for Moe.
"Where did he get to now?" Deedee asks.
"I'm right here Dee." Moe answers.
Deedee gasps and jumps a foot off the ground.
"MOSES DON'T EVEN SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Deedee screams.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Moe says.
Moe starts walking away and Deedee runs after him.
"Where are you going?" Deedee asks.
"I'm just going." Moe answers.
"Oh come on Moe…I'm really sorry for yelling at you." Deedee says.
Moe turns around and looks at Deedee.
"Do you really mean that?" Moe asks.
"Yeah of course I do." Deedee answers.
Moe smiles a little than looks around.
"Let's go find somewhere more private because I really think we need to talk." Moe says.
Deedee nods her head than starts to blush a little.
Moe runs off with Deedee right behind him.
A few minutes later they are at the beach and Moe looks around but there's nobody in sight.
Moe sits down on a rock and pulls his knees up to his chin.
Deedee puts the bag by the rock and than sits next to Moe.
"What do you want to talk about?" Deedee asks.
"I wanted to talk about us." Moe answers.
"What about us?" Deedee asks.
"Um…I just want to know where we stand." Moe answers.
"Well um…I would to like when I told you I loved you at concert a few weeks ago I meant it with all my heart." Deedee says.
Moe lets a long sigh.
"Yeah I know that and I love you too maybe even more than you do." Moe replies.
"What do you mean?" Deedee asks.
"I've been in love with you ever since the Doodlebops started but like you I just tried to push those feelings away but than a few weeks later when you got really sick those feelings got strong and I just couldn't keep them inside anymore." Moe answers.
"Um…I still can't believe that someone so young can be so deep and romantic like you are." Deedee says.
"It's easy when I have you for inspiration." Moe replies.
Deedee starts to shiver a little.
Moe is wearing his jacket so he takes it off and puts it around Deedee's shoulders.
"Why are you giving me this?" Deedee asks.
"So you won't get sick again." Moe answers.
Deedee smiles and hugs Moe.
"No wonder I love you so much because you always go the extra mile to help people out and you're just so sweet." Deedee says.
Moe sighs.
"Are we ever going to go back to Doodlebop Central?" Moe asks.
Yeah we should before they send out a search party for us." Deedee answers.
Deedee nods her head.
Moe gets to his feet and helps Deedee up.
They walk back to Doodlebop Central to find the lights are turned off.
"Why are the lights off in the middle of day?" Moe asks.
Deedee giggles a little.
"Turn them on." Deedee answers.
Moe flips the light switch on.
Everyone jumps out from the hiding places.
"Happy Birthday Moe!" Everyone yells.
Moe's mouth opens in shock.
"Whose idea was this?" Moe asks.
"It was your sister's idea." Rooney answers.
Moe walks over and hugs Hannah.
Moe walks over to the couch and sits down.
Deedee walks over to the couch than sits next to Moe and puts her orange bag on Moe's lap.
"Happy birthday." Deedee says.
Moe opens the bag than takes out the drumsticks and the necklace.
"Why did you have my drumsticks?" Moe asks.
"Take a look and you'll find out." Deedee answers.
Moe looks at the drumsticks and notices his name in orange letters.
"You got them personalized?" Moe asks.
"Um…yeah did." Deedee answers.
Moe hugs Deedee.
"Thanks so much because now they are really special just like you." Moe says.
"What do you think of the necklace?" Deedee asks.
"I really like it thanks a lot." Moe answers.
Moe puts the necklace around his neck and kisses Deedee on the forehead.
Rooney walks over to Moe and passes him another orange bag.
"This is from Keely and me." Rooney says.
Moe smiles than opens the bag to find a new and improved vest.
"Wow…this is cool." Moe yells.
"It was Keely that did it and there's something else in there." Rooney says.
Moe reaches into the bag and pulls out a music note sticker.
"What's this?" Moe asks.
"It's a music note sticker to put on drums." Rooney answers.
"Oh cool you're the best Roon." Moe says.
Deedee laughs a little.
Rooney looks at Deedee and notices that she is wearing Moe's jacket.
"Why are you wearing Moe's jacket?" Rooney asks.
"I met up with her when she was getting my present than we went to talk alone and she started shivering so I let her borrow my jacket because I didn't want her getting sick again." Moe answers.
Deedee takes Moe's jacket off and gives back to him.
"Thanks a lot for letting me borrow it." Deedee says.
Moe just smiles than hugs Deedee.
Bob gives Moe a red bag.
"Happy birthday." Bob replies.
Moe opens the bag to a book about song writing.
"Oh this is cool." Moe says.
"Yeah I thought you'd like it." Bob replies.
Moe looks at Mazz than at his sister.
"Did you two get anything?" Moe asks.
"Yeah I did but it's in the studio." Mazz answers.
They walk into the studio and there sitting on the stage way in the back is a brand new drum set.
Moe's mouth drops open in shock.
"Wow….thanks Mazz!" Moe yells.
"I thought you'd like it and you don't need to yell." Mazz says.
Moe sighs.
Hannah passes a present that is wrapped in paper that has drums all over it.
"Happy birthday bro." Hannah replies.
"What is it?" Moe asks.
"Open it and find out." Hannah answers.
Moe smiles than opens the present to find a picture of him and his family.
"Where did you get this?" Moe asks.
"Mom gave it to me before I left." Hannah answers.
Hannah hugs her brother.
Moe looks at the picture and smiles a little.
"How is Eli?" Moe asks.
"Eli is just fine and everyone misses you." Hannah answers.
All of sudden there's a knock at the door.
Deedee walks over and opens the door.
There is a man and a woman in their early forties with three young people standing there.
"Can I help you?" Deedee asks.
"Yeah umm…we are looking for Hannah and Moe." the woman answers.
Hannah looks over at the door and gasps.
"Mom, dad, Eli, Rachel, Isaiah!" Hannah yells.
Hannah runs over and hugs her family.
"Who are these people?" Rooney asks.
"They are my family." Moe answers.
"What are your names?" Deedee asks.
Moe sighs.
"The lady standing by Hannah is my mother Faith, the man next to her is my father Gabriel than there are my siblings Elijah but he prefers to be called Eli, Rachel and Isaiah." Moe answers.
Elijah grins and walks over to Deedee.
"Hey there pretty." Elijah says.
Deedee rolls her eyes.
"Leave me alone." Deedee replies.
"No I'd like to take you out sometime." Elijah says.
"That would be great if I wasn't kind of seeing someone." Deedee replies.
"Who are you seeing?" Rooney asks.
"Oh I think you know." Deedee answers.
Rooney gets a confused look on his face.
Deedee looks at Rooney than at Moe and winks at him.
Rooney's mouth drops open.
"Since when are you two a couple?" Rooney asks.
"Um…well…since early today when we met up close to the music store." Moe answers.
Elijah stares at Moe.
"You are going out with her?" Elijah asks.
"Um…yeah I am got problem with it." Moe answers.
"Yes I do because I want her." Elijah says.
"Well sorry not this time Eli." Moe replies.
Deedee giggles than walks over to Moe and rests her head on his shoulder.
Moe smiles.
Bob looks at Mazz.
"Do they have a concert today?" Bob asks.
"Yes as a matter fact they do." Mazz answers.
Moe lets out a long sigh.
Eli grins.
"Will you get the grin off your face?" Moe asks.
"No I won't because no matter you say or do I'm going to win her over." Eli answers.
Moe looks at Eli than roll his eyes.
"You are strange." Moe says.
"Would you like to take this outside?" Eli asks.
"Bring it on brother." Moe answers.
Deedee stares at Moe.
"You aren't serious going to fight over me because I'm not that special." Deedee says.
Moe walks over to Deedee and pulls her close to him than looks down at her.
"Yeah, now, of course you're special to me." Moe replies.
"Why do you have fight with him about it?" Deedee asks.
"To prove to him that he's not going to take you away from me." Moe answers.
Eli chuckles a little.
Gabriel stares at Eli than walks over and takes the wig off Eli's head.
Eli glares at his father.
"Hey I liked my hair color." Eli says.
"Well you know as well as I know that it's not you." Gabriel replies.
Rooney stares at Eli.
"Wow…he's got orange hair too." Rooney says.
Moe shakes his head than starts to walk to the couch.
Eli runs behind Moe and punches him in the back.
Moe spins around and punches Eli in the stomach.
Eli groans in pain than trips Moe.
"Okay guys stop it!" Hannah yells.
"Eli started it." Moe says.
Rachel shakes her head.
"You two really need to grow up because you aren't children anymore." Rachel replies.
Eli looks at Moe.
"Did you get me a birthday present?" Eli asks.
"Yeah I did it's called a knuckle sandwich." Moe answers.
"Boys stop it!" Faith screams.
"Sorry mom." Moe and Eli say together.
Rachel looks at her mother.
"Why did you have to have a set of twins?" Rachel asks.
"I'm not sure it just happened but sometimes I wish it didn't because they are so hard to control especially Eli." Faith answers.
"Twins?" Deedee asks.
Moe looks the other way.
"Yeah ah…."Moe answers.
"There's nobody here with a twin." Rooney says.
"Actually there is." Mazz replies.
"What do you mean?" Bob asks.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you." Mazz answers.
Eli grins.
"Well if you don't I will." Eli says.
"You know what I'm glad that it was your brother that join the Doodlebops and not you because I would have fired you long ago." Mazz replies.
Eli walks over to Deedee than pulls her close and kisses her.
Moe growls.
Deedee pushes Eli away and slaps him across the face.
"What was that for sweetie?" Eli asks.
"It was for kissing me and don't ever call me that again." Deedee answers.
Moe walks over to Eli and taps him on the shoulder.
Eli turns around.
"What can I help with you?" Eli asks.
"I've told once and I'll tell again leave my girlfriend alone." Moe answers.
Mazz looks at her watch.
"It's time for your concert guys." Mazz says.
Deedee, Rooney and Moe leave with Bus Driver Bob.
Moe's family goes with Mazz.
Bus Driver Bob and the Doodlebops get there first.
Moe sighs than sits on the ground.
Deedee sits down next to Moe.
"What's wrong Moe?" Deedee asks.
"I wish my brother would leave you alone but I know that he won't because he's the complete opposite of me." Moe answers.
"Why did you say that?" Deedee asks.
"Um…he's…my twin." Moe answers.
"You have a twin?" Rooney asks.
"Um…yeah I do and I wish it was anybody but Eli because he's pure trouble." Moe answers.
"I can see that." Rooney says.
"What happen to Keely?" Deedee asks.
"I'm not sure because she wasn't around when my family came." Moe answers.
"Does she have anything against your family?" Deedee asks.
"No not really except that Isaiah has a huge crush on her." Moe answers.
"Oh come on you know want me." Isaiah says.
"No I don't want you and for your information I already like someone." Keely replies.
"Who is he?" Isaiah asks.
"There's no way I'm telling you because you pick a fight with him." Keely answers.
Mazz winks at the Doodlebops.
"They sing, they dance and have bust so give it up for the Doodlebops." Mazz says.
Deedee runs out to the stage.
"Hey everyone today is a very special day because it is Moe's birthday." Deedee replies.
Rooney runs out to the stage too.
"Would all of you out there help us sing Happy Birthday to him?" Rooney asks.
"Yeah we will." the fans answer.
Moe walks out on the stage.
Rooney winks at the fans.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you dear Moe, happy birthday to you." The fans sing.
Moe smiles and winks at Deedee.
Deedee smiles and blushes a little.
"How old are you today?" A little girl sitting in the front row asks.
"I'm 18 years old." Moe answers.
All of sudden they hear Moe's drums.
Moe spins around to see Eli playing his drums.
"What are you doing?" Moe asks.
"I'm playing the drums." Eli answers.
"Get away from my drums!" Moe yells.
Eli gets to his feet than scoffs and walks off the stage.
"How would everyone like it if we had a request night?" Deedee asks.
"That would be cool." The fans answers.
"Does anybody have a request?" Rooney asks.
"I have one." A little girl in the front row answers.
"What is it?" Rooney asks.
"I Want To Be Bigger." The girl answers.
Moe smiles than sits down at the drums and starts to play.
Moe: I want to be bigger
I want to be tall
I don't like being small at all
I think about it every single day
I wish I was taller than a tree
And everyone looked up to me
If I could only grow just a little bit more
Deedee and Rooney: Hey Moe
Don't you worry, you'll grow
Cause all of us went through the same thing
Just like you
And hey, before you know it
We'll see how much you grew
And we'll be looking up at you
Moe: I'm feeling bigger
Feeling tall
Guess I'm not so small after all
Cause I know that I'm growing everyday
Can you imagine what I can do?
Seeing the world from a different view
I'd write your name up in the sky for you
I'd dance above the treetops just for you
If I could only grow just a little bit more
Deedee and Rooney: You know you're gonna grow up
You know you're gonna grow up soon
You know you're gonna grow up
You know you're growing up real soon
You know you're gonna grow up
You know you're gonna grow up soon
"Anyone have a request?" Moe asks.
"Um...I have one." Deedee answers.
"Is she allowed to request one?" Rooney asks.
Yeah I don't see why not." Moe answers.
"What's your request than?" Rooney asks.
"I want to sing Keep Trying." Deedee answers.
"Hm…I wonder what the reason is that you want to sing that one." Rooney says.
"Ah…Roon hush up." Deedee replies.
Moe busts out laughing and Deedee glares at him than stops laughing.
Deedee winks at Moe and he winks back.
Moe: Whenever things get tough
Whenever you feel you've had enough
Just remember this
Simple little thing
Keep trying
Deedee: Keep trying
Every day
Hold your head up high
And you'll find your way
You can do it
There's nothing to it
Deedee & Moe: Keep trying. Keep trying.
Keep trying. Keep trying
Deedee: Keep trying, every day
Moe: Hold your head up high and you'll find your way
Deedee & Moe: You can do it there's nothing to it
Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying.
Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying.
Meanwhile backstage
Mazz looks at Bob.
"You know I never noticed before but Deedee's and Moe's voice really blend together." Mazz says.
Bob nods his head.
"Um…now that you mention…they do." Bob replies,
They play a few more songs.
"Well that's it from us tonight." Deedee says.
They walk backstage.
Eli and the rest of Moe's family are there.
Deedee starts to shiver really bad.
Moe looks at Deedee.
Eli grins a little than walks over to Deedee and goes pulls her close but Moe kicks him in the foot making him fall to the ground.
Moe pulls Deedee close to him to keep her warm.
Deedee's shivers calm a little.
"What would I do without you?" Deedee asks.
"You'd probably freeze to death." Moe answers.
"I love you Moses Aaron Yankee." Deedee whispers.
Moe's mouth drops open in shock.
"Do you really?" Moe asks.
"Yeah I do." Deedee answers.
"I…I…love." Moe says.
Deedee giggles.
"Don't push yourself because you can tell me when you're ready." Deedee replies.
Moe smiles than kisses the top of Deedee's head.
Eli groans than gets up to his feet and walks outside.
"She will be mine no matter what." Eli says.
"Are you jealous?" A voice asks.
Eli turns around to find Hannah standing behind him.
"Yeah I am…he's just so lucky to have someone that beautiful in his life." Eli answers.
"Well if you clean up your act than you may be able to have someone like her in your life." Hannah says.
"Oh don't worry I will have someone." Eli replies with a grin.
"No you're not having Deedee Doodle so get that out of your head because she loves our brother not you so get over her." Hannah yells.
"Sorry I can't do that." Eli says.
"If you try to come between them than I'll tell mom." Hannah replies.
"Do you really think I'm scared of mom?" Eli asks.
"Okay than I'll tell dad." Hannah answers.
Eli shakes his head and walks off.
Deedee, Rooney and Moe walk outside.
Bob and Mazz come out a few minutes later.
Mazz looks at Deedee.
"Did you bring your coat tonight?" Mazz asks.
"No I forgot it." Deedee answers.
Deedee starts to shiver again.
Mazz glares at Moe.
"What?" Moe asks.
"Let her borrow your coat." Mazz answers.
Moe nods his head than takes off his coat and passes it to Deedee.
Deedee takes Moe's coat from him and puts it on.
"Where are we going to now?" Bob asks.
"I think it would be good for us to take a walk." Mazz answers
Bob lets out a long sigh.
Mazz leans over and kisses Bob.
Deedee, Rooney, Moe and Mazz started walking home.
A couple of little girls come up to them.
"You're the Doodlebops." The first little girl says.
"Umm…yeah that's us." Moe replies.
The second girl looks at Deedee.
"Why are you wearing Moe's coat?" The second girl asks.
"I got cold and I left my coat back at Doodlebop Central so he let me borrow his." Deedee answers.
The two girls smile than walk off.
Eli runs up to them and puts his arm around Deedee.
"How are you hon?" Eli asks.
"I'm fine but please get away from me and don't call me that." Deedee answers.
"What is it about my twin that you like so much?" Eli asks.
"He's nice, sweet and nothing like you." Deedee answers.
Moe giggles a little.
