As Johnny got up that morning, being one of the two responsible members of the gang, he made sure to get up early. Johnny was smart enough to prepare in advanced. Johnny had prepared for everything. Johnny had breakfast prepared in case any of his friends woke up too late to make breakfast, he brought tide instant go markers in case his friends came with stained up clothes, he brought coffee and ice cold water in case Fawke showed up drunk again. Johnny had prepared for many scenarios to happen before the concert. Johnny wasn't too worried about Clair since she was responsible enough to take care of herself just fine ,but if only Johnny could say the same for Fawke and Donovan. Johnny sighed at the thought ,but inevitably left his house.
Five minutes later Johnny showed up at Fawke's house prepared for the worst. Johnny didn't need to knock on the door as he already had a key. Johnny went inside ,and Doku, Fawke's toxicroak sat in his bed ,and casually rested, "Crooo.... Crooooo" Doku muttered, "I don't envy you Doku ,having to put up with this bum" Johnny said gesturing to the drunken man lying face first on the ground. "Not now babe, After the party, we're still in public. Noooo! Laaater. Put that back in the cupboard" Fawke muttered to himself in his sleep.
Johnny promptly doused Fawke in ice cold water without a moments hesitation. "I SAID NO! THAT'S MY DAM SANDWICH YOU DUMB MOTHE-"Fawke stopped mid-sentence as he realized he was no longer in a log cabin nor was a bird keeper trying to take his food. "The hell are you on about?" Johnny said slack jawed looking down at Fawke, "Sober up you nasty party freak. Stayed up a little too late again? Did a little too much partying late night? A little too much gambling? A little too much drinking? I can smell that shhh on your breath from here ,and you look like trash too. I bet you probably just got home, what? A few minutes ago?" Johnny said placing a cup of coffee onto the table. It was straight black ,and had no sugar or anything in it. The taste was repulsive ,but Fawke downed it quickly. Fawke put on some sun glasses to hide his eyes.
Fawke took an ice cold showe ,and cleaned up quite nicely. After Johnny deemed him fit to present himself in public they headed to their next destination, Clair's house. Fawke was eating a slice of bread as they drove to Clair's place. Doku was sitting in the shotgun seat ,and Fawke was laying in the floorboard of the backseat of the car passed out. As Clair came to the car she gave Doku a look of anger, "Not again! I am not sitting in the back seat this time!" Clair yelled. Doku knew she was there ,but just pretended like he didn't hear her ,and continued to look forward. Doku wasn't about to move an inch, "Croooo.... Croooooooo" Doku muttered as he fiddled with the car's air conditioner. "Eeeeeeerrrrrrrr!!" Clair grunted, now with a furious glare. "Croooooooo" Doku muttered, now wearing a conceited grin. "Come on Clair! We ain't got all day ya know?!" Johnny said. "Ah come on! aaaaahhh!... Fine! Move your feet drunky" Clair said pushing Fawke's feet to the side as she say by the window.
They eventually arrived at Donovan's place. The light's were out ,but then a loud slam was heard. Donovan kicked the door open ,and was running down the stairs half dressed ,and pulling his pants up as he ran towards the car. Clair looked out the opposite window ,and was pretending she couldn't see Donovan hopping to the car late as usual. As soon as Donovan arrived at the car, he was now fully dressed ,but his stomach was grumbling something fierce. Johnny handed back some breakfast ,and Donovan happily scarfed it down as they headed to their next destination, Mauville City. Donovan threw his feet on the front middle console area where Johnny and Doku were resting their elbows at.
Crowds of people were already standing outside the concert hall. It was just an hour from showtime after all ,and yet the band hadn't even arrived at the concert area. The security helped them sneak past the crowds of people. They got about thirty minutes of practice before the cheering of the fans became too loud. They eventually headed out ,and by this time they now had five minutes left. Fawke was still partially in a daze ,but had enough control to look stable. Fawke stumbled over to the microphone, nearly falling off the stage. The only reason why he didn't make the plunge off stage was because his foot was caught around the microphone cord. He stood tall ,and the crowd was cheering. Fawke cleared his throat.
"AAARE YOU READY TO ROOOOOOOOOOCK!!!!!!!!!!!" Fawke yelled. This sent the crowd into a frenzy of cheer, "I SAID, ARE YOU READY TO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!!" Fawke yelled once more. The crowd was chanting ,and Fawke was eating it up. As the concert began, the band played some of its classic songs, 'Never Fading away ,and Choppin' in. The band played six songs ,and four encores. After the Concert they met up with the VIP guests. Some goofy looking kids; Brandon, Wally ,and May were their names. Fawke was completely sober at this point and was more than competent enough to have a good time, PG 13 style. After the kids were happy and left, that's when they headed to the real after party.
This was where all the real fun was happening. It was also age restricted so the kids couldn't come. Fawke was nice enough to not talk about that to them as they didn't need to know about that part. There were drinks, food, dancing, private rooms ,entertainers, other singers and musicians ,and a few celebrities showing up to gain face. It was going to be a big party ,and anyone who was anyone would have to show up. A lot of stuff happened that night, too much to briefly describe. Everyone there had a good time ,and most people would go on to need a ride home as they were in no state to drive themselves home. Some people chose to stay the night in the private rooms, Fawke included. Johnny Drove Clair home ,and Donovan decided to stick around ,and continue to enjoy the free food while he was there.
That night Johnny organized his calendar ,and headed off to bed around 9:45pm, Clair watched her favorite soap operas and passed out on the couch again ,and Donovan slept under one of the kitchen tables with a backpack full of snacks/food and a bottle of wine stuffed in his pants leg. Fawke was in one of the private rooms with several other people. They were all asleep ,and Fawke laid there on the bed with a guitar firmly held in his hand.
