*bursts out laughing*
That bit cracked me up... but *awww* the proposal! I just knew it! I'm like... awww, I'm smiling like an idiot with a cheesy secret. That's just so sweet. Funny you should menation Rob taking the bet on it too, seeing as how I've read before our boy doesn't mind dappling with a spot of gambling here and there (heck, he's rich, he can afford it, right? *meh*) But nice insertion. Cute. Romantic comedy. And as for;
"Lan' date=' we havent known each other that long, I mean we have but... anyways, I feel like that dosent matter when a guy is..is...aww screw this."[/quote']
That's probably a typical Rob thing too. Big sensative new age guy... with the same insecurities as every other love struck puppy in the presence of his lady love. Show's he's more 'human' and not so I dunno, 'Hollywood' I suppose, given his stardom. *shrugs* It's just on the whole so sweet.
Go Lan. You're right, Rav's green with envy...
Can't wait for more, as always!
Take care and TTYL,

"CONGRADULATIONS!"
Every one shouted down below. I saw Rob turn a bright red. I felt so nervous inside. But I guess being with Rob made it all better. Now I was engaged to a super huge rockstar. I had butterflys in my stomache when we went to church that night and when I went to sleep that night. Christmas was actualy nice. Rob went over to his parents house so I didnt get to see him untill later that night when he took me out for dinner. That was the least of my worries. My trouble started when I got on the bus to go home when we got back from Christmas break.
"Watch it!"
Stephanie snarled and pushed me aside. I know I was sitting in her seat but since someone else was sitting in my seat, there wasnt really anything I could do. Besides I normaly got along pretty well with stephanie.
"Sorry, your just gonna have ta deal with it."
I said. She made a swing to try and smack me. I blocked it easily.
"Gotta do better than that if you want ta land a hit."
Rav raised her eyebrow as a bunch or people scrambeled out of the way grabbing their phones to take pictures.
"Go get another hair style and learn to pluck your eyebrows!"
She shouted at me. I snorted. maybe it would be mean if I havent heard those many times before.
"The dog who barks seldom bites."
I said as I kept my hands up.
"Shut up *****!"
Stephanie screamed again. I havent trained for sixteen years in martial arts for nothing.
"Why are you trying ta get at a fight you know you wont win?"
"Cocky arnt we?"
I shook my head.
"Some one do something!"
A boy shouted. Stephanie took her pencil and stabbed me in the shoulder with it. I laughed as I pulled it out and threw it to the side.
"Make this worth my time."
I said as I knifehanded her across the face. the force sent her into the seat where she bounced back up again.
"***** dont you dare do that!!"
She threw more punches and I blocked every one of them. Then out of instinct, I punched out, not aiming to hit her. Fire shot from my fist and scorched the side of her face. I came with my elbow and slammed it into her face. she made a wild punch at me, hitting me mouth and busting me lip. I spit blood out and it got all over the windows. I pulled my shirt off so I was just wearing my white wife beater. Blood dripped down from where the pencil was in below my shoulder. I twisted around and pulled her in a headlock. She gasped for air as my hands turned bright red from the heat of the fire.
"Twice I've held your life in my hands. I thought I told you to make it worth my time."
I picked her up and moved her aside. I staggered from the pain in my shoulder. Stephanie's face was burned and peeling from where my hands had her. the bus came to my stop shortly after. Rav put my arm around her shoulders as I was still dripping blood. She carried my bookbag and my waterbottle too. Rob was waiting for us as we got off. His face paled at the sight of me.
"What happened to you?"
He asked as I fell into his arms, my blood getting all over his white shirt.
"Got into a fight thats all."
I said as I tried to stand up strait. The loss of blood was making me dizzy.
"Come on, let's get you to the hospital. Man you're gonna give me grey hairs."
Rob murmered as he threw her bookbag in the trunk of his big SUV like it weighed nothing. I looked at him strangly. I weighed that book bag when I had the most homework and It had weighed atleast 60 lbs. that was just nuts.
"Does it hurt?"
Rob asked sympathetically. I shook my head.
"Not really, its just numb."
"Good."
Rob made me lay down in the back of his SUV while he handed the keys to rav.
"Drive to the hospital."
Rob said as he put pressure on my shoulder. The car moved forward but rob kept his balance.
"Between the two of us we get into so much trouble. I dont particularly like to fight, but then again, I guess its just two different personalities."
Rob said sagely. I couldnt help but laugh. Untill back on the ship, I always thought Rob was more of a lover then a fighter, one who was just paitent to let everything happen and cool off before saying or doing something. He still seems that way, just with more power. Two different personalities is right. I'm Irish and something else. I never really knew about me mum too much, we would always fight when we were in the same room. I sighed as Rob put more pressure on my arm.
"I'm sorry did that hurt?"
Rob apologized.
"No I was just thinking about something else thats all."
Rob smiled as he ran his free hand through my hair.
"Penny for your thoughts..."
"I was just thinking about how different we are. You're so paitent and gentle while I'm so forward and hot headed. You dont really like fighting and I love an excuse to go hand to hand with some one."
Rob gave a fleeting smile.
"That's the glory of yin and yang."
Rob said as he planted a kiss on my forehead.
"I can tell you that My dad isnt going to be too happy about this. This has to be the tenth fight I've gotten into this year."
I said with a chuckle. Rob shook his head.
"Well, dont think about it cuz I want you to move in with me."

*awww* Nice tie-in to earlier posts and altogether sweet. *gushing*
*double awwww factor*
I can so see this being the start of something beautiful - maybe. If the crazy kidnappers don't come back stirring ****. If Lan's 'friends' don't keep stirring their ****. If Lan's family don't start their... well, y'know.
Be interesting to see how the band/world wide fan base react to this news. Imagine the hype! Wow... to be Lan though... I'd get real paranoid real fast, even if she is hot-headed and a little whirlwind of fury
Bless her!Nice work - as always looking forward to more. I'm tuning in regularly, you know me. It's all good. It's better than good; it bumps! XD

The trip to the hospital wasnt too bad. Rob frowned as he read a news paper while we waited to get discharged. (yes he can afford one unlike Joe)his eyes scanned the page quickly. He then sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"There's bad news and there's worse news."
I raised an eyebrow. Rob turned around the paper so I could read it. There was an article from a local High School student about Mike and Rob being off the market and some fans being extreamly ****** about it. He then showed me the front page about them catching two of the people responsiable for the kidnapping.
"The bad news is a little bit of the fan base is irked at Rav being Mikes new girl. The Worse news is that the two they arrested in the kidnapping thing, one of them was my ex and the other was Mike's ex. They know where we live, there is no way that can be good."
Rob said quietly trying to keep his voice level. Even though he seemed calm, I could tell he was slightly shaken by this little bit of information.
"We just have to be careful. How about instead of me moving in with you, you come stay with me and my family untill we can get a place of our own?"
I suggested. I could tell that he was thinking.
"But you have to share a room with Benji and Joel right? wouldnt that be a problem?"
I smirked as we were aloud to go. Rav was waiting in the car for us.
"as long as you can keep it in, there wont be a problem."
I said with a wink. Rob gave a sheepish grin as he climbed into the drivers seat. Rav came around to where I was about to open up the car door.
"How'd you make him blush?"
"I'll tell ya later."
I said happily. Rav just looked as if she was denied a real treat. We dropped her off and went back to my place. I caught my dad on the porch playing with my littlest brother.
"Dad, can Rob stay with us for a while? Somethings happened."
"Are you off your ****** rocker?"
My dad asked incrediciously. I jumped back a little.
"Dad its not like we're gonna **** or anything. Besides I room with Benji and Joel remember? They're there so it wont be a problem."
"I dont know, sounds a bit forward."
"Dad, I'm old enough to take care of my self. I'm old enough to **** who ever the **** I want. you know I wouldnt."
I almost shouted at my dad. My dad gave a sigh as my little brother started crying.
"Its not that I dont trust you. Its him I dont trust as a father."
"Please just trust him dad, I do."
My dad shook his head.
"Fine, but he better help with the chores."
I gave my dad a hug as we drove to Robs house to pick up a few clothes and things. I looked around his living room where there were little things he had brought back from places that he had been on Tour, like Something from the castle at Nagasaki in Japan and some pictures from France. There was a beautiful Beirstine from germany that was beautifully decorated and then right there in the shelf that had pictures of him and the band was an old bottle of Irish beer. I chuckeled, that had to take the cake. I saw the room where he kept his drumset and the various awards that he had gotten with the band. His diplomas hung right above his computer that sat off to the side on the far wall.
"You ready?"
He asked making me jump slightly. I nodded as he slipped his arm around me.
"You house is beautiful. Those things you got from all those places are really nice."
I said. Rob smiled.
"You could come with us and see some of those places when we go on our next tour if you want."
Rob said as he batted his eyes at me. I couldnt help but laugh.
"Rob you're something else you know that right?"
"Yeah, but you know you love it."
"Aye."
I said sighing in defeat. he was such a stubborn guy, cute, but stubborn. When we got back to My house, I helped Rob get setteled in my room. The bed was small but we'll have to manage.
"Cozy."
He said as he sat down on my bed to get the feel of it. I got him an extra pillow down from the closet.
"Sorry the bed isnt made, just didnt get around ta doing it this mornin."
I said as I laid out the blanket the best I could with rob on the bed. My shoulder still ached but other then the stitches it was pretty good.
"So what do you want to do when you get out of high school?"
I shrugged.
"I was hoping ta go inta journalisim doing something I like, something like that. I know for a fact I'm going ta take my college courses on the internet since its too expensive ta go ta a regular college."
I said as I laid down facing rob.
"I think its a good idea. Eduication is an important thing. You always want to fall back on something if the first thing dosent work out."
I smiled. He was a pretty smart guy, he says it a bit like a fortune cookie but its all good. I closed my eyes after that last thought. I'm really starting to sound like him too.
"So you dont think you'll be doing music your whole life?"
"Its a nice thought but all good things have to come to an end some time. That dosent mean that once we're done with all the touring and albums I'll stop drumming."
He reached up to brush a stray strand of hair out of my eyes. we leaned in to kiss.
"Lan!"
One of my little brothers called from the door way. I groaned.
"What's wrong?"
"There's bad news and there's worse news."
I raised an eyebrow. Rob turned around the paper so I could read it.

It's so sweet - and devloping nicely. The part where they're in Rob's house getting his things together - nice description. Visual of him sneaking up on her unintentionally also sweet. It flows well. The quip about Lan's dad not trusting Rob very believable - <3 to Lan's dad - and the whole 'starting to sound like Rob' buisness; isn't that how it goes in a relationship? Good reflection. Oh and getting 'busted' by the little brother at the end - priceless.
Trying to make a go of anything even remotely close to a normal life even without living under the same roof as her family would have to make for one **** of an interesting challenge, even for a seasoned rock star who's been all over the world such as him.
Best of luck guys; with the ex in the wings you're sorely gonna need it!
Love it, as always. Can't wait for more! *hugs*

thanks rav and viking, my two loyal readers.
"Lan can You read me a book? Archer and Bowen wont read to me."
I smiled as my little brother crawled up on the bed with me and rob. He sat in my lap as Rob looked over my shoulder. The title of the book was 'A City With No People'. Rob watched curiously from behind me.
"In this city, there are no people. The lights are on in all the houses, but there is nobody in the streets. Are there people inside? I peak in a window to find out. There are people, they are with them. I look in other houses. They are with them too. This City is just like all the rest. Being with them is fun, More fun then being with people. Nobody comes outside any more. There are no people in this city."
i licked my lips to keep them from drying out and turned the page again. Rob laid his chin on my shoulder to get a better look at the book.
"I will leave this City and go to another one, there I hope to meet someone. Someone just for me. But if that special someone falls in love with me, I will have to leave that someone. Even so, I want to meet that special someone. This is what I think as I leave the city with no people."
I looked at rob who raised his eyebrows at me. I continued to read.
"just as I feared, there's no one here either. Everyone is inside with them. Being with them is like living a beautiful dream. A beautiful dream that no one wants to wake up from. They will grant your deepest wishes. They will do what ever you ask, they will be what ever you want them to be. They can do things that you cannot. But there is one thing they cannot do, they cannot become people. They might look like people but they are only substitutes. I know this very well, I am one of them. Today, I look for someone just for me. Someone who has love only for me. Someone who will love me even if I cant fufill their wishes."
The little picture book stopped with that last sentenance. My little brother said a quick thank you and ran out of my room squealing. Rob picked up the book from the bed cover and looked through the pages.
"That sounds pretty deep for a picture book."
He said as he continued to thumb through the page. I nodded as I looked on the back cover.
"Someone who has love only for me..."
I said trailing off.
"That someone who has love for only you, you're my someone just for me."
Rob whispered into my ear making the back of my hair stand up on end.
"Someone just for me."
I mumbeled as he wrapped his strong arms around me. It was a nice thought, but there would never be a person who would love only me and not anyone else. Rob loves his bandmates, his parents and his drumset. I'm just happy enough to be one of the things he loves the most. It still made me wonder.Rob smiled, I could almost tell what he was thinking.
"And you're my someone just for me."
I snuggeled into him.
"but hey, your so paitent, with a huge family like this, I would have died by now."
I swear choked when Rob said that. He is such a sheep some times. (a/n revering to his zodiac sign as the sheep, someone who is creative, disorganized, timid, honest and passionate.)
"What do you know a Sheep and a Capricorn, you seemed to get cut short on that one."
I said with a little laughter.
"Oh, like a tiger and a crab are any better? Ms over agressive and moody."
He retorted back in a playfull maner.
"Like you said before yin and yang."
I pulled his duffel bag towards us as I made room in my dresser for him to put his things. It seems that he just threw everything in the bag. No wonder his clothes were all wrinkly.
"how can you stand it in here? its so neat."
I ran my hand down my face.
"How can you be so messy?"
I said with a smile. A grin came across his face.
"I love you lan."
He said in a baby voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah yeah love you too Rob.
"Lan can You read me a book? Archer and Bowen wont read to me."

thanks again fribby. I'm bored so heres the next part.
I woke up the next morning. My shoulder ached but I slept pretty good. I cant say the same for Rob though. He looked as if he was hit by a bus.
"Sleep any?"
I asked him sympathetically as I gave him a pat on the back. Rob groaned.
"Other then the constant noise, Benji's snoring, and Joel's midnight walkings it was pretty good. just like home."
He said burrying his face into my pillow.
"Hey that's my pillow!"
I laughed. Looks like a few fights were going on early this morning.
"No it isnt! yours is the lumpy one!"
"You want me to knock you in the kisser?"
I sighed and got up. I opened the door and grabbed the pillow from between my two fighting brothers. Dont remember their names at the moment, but they were still fighting.
"Stop it you two. Its my pillow! now get out of here."
My brothers scrambeled down the stairs. I went back in and snuggeled next to Rob in the bed after tossing the pillow aside.
"You want some breakfast? My dad's cooking bacon and eggs down stairs."
Rob picked his head up sleepily. I know that if he was offered free food, he'd take it just like any other guy out there. He sat up and pulled a pair of pants on over his boxers. There were little squeales running down the hall.
"No no its my turn!"
"I got it before you did!"
"Put it down your not the goalie!"
"So you out ta be the goalie! your mouth's big enough!"
We opened up the door. I frowned as they started arguing over the soccer ball.
"Eric, no no, seamus, wait, Barry...."
"I'm keith!''
the one with the ball shouted.
"I knew that. You guys stop fighting. Save it for the soccer field."
I said sternly. they all pouted as they ran off. Rob and I finally got down stairs. I looked at the list. My dad came in and set everything down on the huge table.
"Alright, today.... Aslin, seamus, eric, barry, keith, soccer game at ten thirty. Kira and Kylee, rugby practice this afternoon at three. Grandma and grandpa are comming for a visit so make sure your dressed nice before five fourty-five, we're going out to dinner. Everyone else, try not to distroy the house. Lets eat."
I made two plates for me and rob. He looked hungrily at the food as he started to dig in with everyone else. It was nice having Rob for breakfast, even if me dad kept giving him an evil look of sorts. I sighed. I really wish my dad would just trust him. I mean it would be the least he could do after asking us all to trust him and Robin. I forgot about grandma and grampa are comming over for a visit. I guess they would have to meet sooner or later. Rob also said something about meeting his parents tomorrow. Just thinking about it made me get butterflies in my stomach. Rob also warned me about his little brother too.
"Do you want to do something today?"
"Sure what do you have in mind?"
I said in response to Rob's question as he helped me do the dishes. He shrugged.
"I dunno just walk around the santa monica pier?"
I smiled.
"Sounds like fun to me."

well there y'go - didn't know about the sheep bit, learn something new everyday! Actually, sounds pretty accurate from what we know of the guy, so well added. And it's funny that Lan's the opposite (in the yin-yang thing, of course) kinda reminds me of me... (Dragon, water-bearer, so I go along with the flow so to speak til I get ticked off, then all **** breaks loose! XD) Sounds to me Lan is a personal exploration as far goes character development, eh Mel? ****** brow curiously* Think that's what makes her so believable rather than the standard original characters in fics that are so 1-dimensional they lose credability. Well written.
The brothers' tirade about the pilows and soccer ball was nice too. Poor Rob I think. Especially being thrust into this new world that despite all his fame and travel and so forth he probably hasn't had a great deal to do with (given that his immediate family is relatively small and somewhat nuclear). Poor Rob again about coping with Lan's dad... should make for an interesting wedding reception if things keep heading along these same lines!
That story Lan read to her brothers - I hope I'm not insulting you when I ask you this but who wrote it? It sounds so deep, (yes, even for a picturebook) that it seems like a real authentic true-to-life book. Is it? If not then - whoa! I'm just like stunned because that was so deep and insightful I'm just... for once I'm speechless. (A rarity, no?)
Anyway, brilliant as always. And I have to agree with acdcrules04, you ARE quite possibly the best writer on this forum at the moment - your stuff is funny, honest and insightful. Pity there wasn't more like it. You're more talented than you probably realise. Regardless, keep up the good work. And, as always, I look forward to more. You're stories give me a smile during the sh*t periods of an otherwise boring day. So thank you.

aww thanks rav. my brother gave me the idea of the story which is bassed off of a real picture book that our dad used to read to us when we were little. funny how long ago that was that I can still remember it. as far as Lan's character goes, shes suposet to be like me somewhat.
rob and I sat on a bench as we ate a slice of pizza. Rob's phone went off with the Crazy frog ringer. I held his slice of pizza for him while he answered.
"Yo its Rob. What? Tomorrow? What time? Why, I already recorded those parts. What do you mean Chester crashed my computer!?! Fine I'll come in, but I have to be out by five thirty cuz lan and I are gonna go to my parents house. I'll bring her too dont worry. *** almighty mike why did you let Chester near the computer? Fine, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Rob gurmpily hung up his phone.
"What happened?"
I asked as I gave him his pizza back.
"Chester crashed my computer, I have to go in tomorrow and rerecord some of the songs. You wanna come with me?"
"Sure, your not gonna kill chester are you?"
I asked as Rob took another bite of pizza.
"No I'll just twist him into a pretzle. He's so technologically challanged, he cant even get onto the internet without killing a computer."
I couldnt help but laugh.
"I've never seen anything like a recording studio. That's gonna be cool."
Rob chuckeled.
"Dont worry about that. Be more worried about me meeting you grandparents and surviving with your family."
I smilled as I kissed him on the cheek.
"Dont worry, They'll love you. I know for a fact that my grandmother will."
I said. We finished up our slices of pizza and continued to walk along the pier.
"What time do you have to be in the studio?"
I asked as Rob pulled his shirt off. It was super hot while we were out walking. However, it was nice, Rob's body I mean. I love his body though, one of his best features. I bet right then I was drooling, I can see why Rav fell in love with him. But that dosent matter.
"Eight in the morning. Think you can get up that early?"
Rob asked with a smirk. I cocked an eyebrow.
"oh please, you wouldnt have gotten up if I wasnt up. You'd sleep till four if I let you."
I said as I ran my fingers through his hair. He smiled as he grabbed my hand.
"Let's go walk down on the beach."
Later that afternoon, I pulled my hair back into a pony tail. Everyone was getting ready for Grandma and Grandpa. Rob came in the room wearing a nice button down shirt over his jeans. It looked comfortable but sharp at the same time. his hair was still messy thought.
"Do I look alright?"
He asked as he adjusted his shirt in the mirror. I took his hands down from his shirt collar.
"you look fine. If you keep doing that, you'll strangle yourself."
I said as we intwined our fingers. The doorbell rang.
"Just relax. be yourself."
I said, kissing him on the cheek. He gave an uneasy grin as we went down stairs. Grandma and Grandpa were trying to wade through all of my siblings.
"Alright, everyone in the living room."
I gave my grandmother and grandpa a quick kiss.
"Who is this handsome young man?"
My grandmother asked me with a wink.
"Have I checked his portfolio?"
"Grandpa..."
I said rolling my eyes.
"This is Rob, He's my Fiancee."
"you know when I was your age, your grandfather and I were happily married for three years."
"Its nice to meet you."
Rob said politely. My grandfather looked Rob up and down. I gave rob's hand a quick encouraging squeeze.
"Nice to meet you as well. What do you do for a living?"
"I'm in a band."
Rob said as he swallowed hard. My grandmother gave rob a wink.
"Looks like you caught quite a whopper. He's built like a brick out house."
Suddenly everyone in the hall way busted out laughing. It was worth being here for this.
"Lan, would you and your future hubby go get the two boxes out of the car? there's a suprise in it."
I nodded as Rob and I side stepped out of the house.
"See that wasnt so bad."
Rob nodded letting out a sigh of relief.
(general POV)
Lan woke up early at six thirty the next morning. She gently shook Rob untill he was awake.
"You want first shower?"
Rob nodded as he grabbed a spare towel and his clothes. He ran the water untill it got nice an hot. He let it hit him like a monsoon. He was nervous about taking Lan to meet his parents tonight. He knew his brother would be an *** hole either way so there was no question about that. He shut the water off and wrapped a towel around his middle. Lan opened up the door catching rob in only a towel. They both blushed deeply.
"Uhh, Brad just called to remind you that its your turn to do backing vocals today."
"Alright....."
they both swallowed nervously.
"Like what you see?"
"Maybe..."
Lan said slyly. They both laughed as Lan returned to the room. She sighed as she got dressed in jeans and an element skate tee. Rob came in fully clothed this time.
"You ready?"
Lan nodded as they headed out the door, trying to be carefull to not wake anyone up. She left her dad a note on the table where he was sure to see it. They both climbed into Rob's SUV. Lan saftly buckeled herself in.
"are we gonna stop somewhere to get something to eat?"
Rob shook his head.
"Naw, thank *** for catering. You'll see the wonders of the never ending refrigerator. I swear its like never empty."
Rob said shaking his head and chuckeling.
"No mulette this time?"
"How do you know about the mulette?"
Rob said as he stopped infront of the stoplight.
"Rav had me watch LPTV the other day. It was pretty funny, but the thing that took the cake after all of what I saw was Mike drunk atthe Kerrang awards."
rob chuckeled. He pulled into the studio parking lot.
"Are you ready to be mistified? Behold my awesome drumming powers."
Rob said as he struck a superhero pose.
"Alright little drummer boy. Keep moving."
Lan said giving him a small shove. Mike and Chester watched from the window.
"Come on Chaz, dont you think its nice to see our little Rob happy?"
"....."
Chester mumbeled something incohearently. Rav came over and gave mike a hug. Chester continued to sulk like a little three year old who was denied candy.
"Dont worry about him Mike, Everything will be ok."
Brad said as he flopped on the couch. Joe also nodded from behind the mountain of his equipment trying to figure out which key opened up which case.
"Alright rob's here, lets get this thing started"
Rob glowered at chester who quailed under the drummers furious stare.
"ow ow ow ow ow!"
Chester started wimpering.
"I havent hurt you yet..."
"I know I'm practicing. ow ow ow ow !"
Chester continued to wimper.
rob and I sat on a bench as we ate a slice of pizza. Rob's phone went off with the Crazy frog ringer. I held his slice of pizza for him while he answered.

**** straight. But true, is irrelevant. This is Lan and Rob's story, as it should be. Rav's happy enough (by the sounds of it with Mr work-a-holic heart throb Mikey
Lucky her, huh? *chuckles*) But Rob rippin' his shirt off... man, you take the best visual imagery and write it in such a way that it's clear, it's concise and everyone can enjoy it. Kudos to you for that.Classic. Visually. I can so see that happening (though I have no conception of what Lan herself looks like) but Rob and the infamous Bourdon blush... awww... busted Robbie! Hehehe.
How many times have I myself referred to such an analogy. The guy is rather notoriously solid so well put. Made me burst out laughing, but then again your stories usually manage to do so at least once or twice each and every update - whether intentionally or not. But here in Oz we call it a brick sh*t house. Same deal really. Doesn't sound as flattering when we say it... *laughs again*Lan's grandparents sound so endearing. Especially the grandma. Wish I had a grandma like that. I can picture the scene well... and them wading through the youngin's... very believable.
The Mullet joke - funny as all ****. Still makes me laugh when I see that damned episode - fools!
Hilarious!
On the whole Mel well written - but then again I'm far from surprised. As far as stories go here you're is by far the most consistent and one of the best. I'm here almost as much as I'm at CoB, so that should tell you something!
*hugs*
Great work.
Can't wait for the wedding - omg. *grins* Can't wait for more, period!
Take care and TTYL, as always,
-Rav

thanks again to all who reviewed. Fribby, Rav, DA, and ACDC. I'm blushing rav, Your compliments mean alot to me. heh heh heres the next chappie
(lan's POV)
I watched Rob play the drums. Just watching him was like watching something made from primal instincts. Sweat drenched his face as he stopped. He took a long drink from the water bottle and just tossed it aside. I was in awe. It was perfect and simple, but it sounded so complex. Brad sat beside me in the control room with his guitar.
"Amazing isnt it?"
I nodded my mouth still hanging open from shock and awe.
"He's always perfect with the drums, never messes up or anything. Its just pure perfection."
Brad commented.
"It is, I havent seen something like this since ever."
Rob gave a thumbs up as he then did some typing on the computer. I quickly picked up his towel so I could give it to him when he came into the control room.
"He's going to record his vocals for two songs now. Giving In and one song we havent titeled yet. Rob wrote it himself for you. We liked the lyrics so much, we decided to put it on the album."
Don Gilmore switched on the in-studio mic for Rob's head phones.
"Which song do you want me to reccord first?"
Rob asked through the mic infront of him.
"Let's do the untiteled track first."
Rob nodded as the music started in his headphones. I smiled as I watched him sing. I couldnt hear anything since it was being recorded directly, But as I listened to the play back, it was awesome. Rob did some amazing vocals for the chorus and the first verse.
"walk off the edge of the unknown,
flying high away from the chains of opression.
wreackage in the ocean dying toninght.
Far from lies of daily life,
this is my new life."
I handed Rob the towel as he came into the control room. He wiped his face off before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"You like the lyrics?"
"They're amazing. You actualy wrote them?"
Rob nodded as he looked at his watch.
"Yeah, we have to get going if we're gonna make it to my parents house before six."
I gave all the guys a good bye hug and I told Rav that I'd talk to her tomorrow. I was a little nervous but I guess this is how Rob felt about meeting my grandparents. Rob gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Dont worry. I know my parents will like you."
As we walked up to the door and rung the door bell, Rob whisteled an unfamiliar tune. It was a nice house that his parents lived in. It was in an average neighbor hood. From the stories Rob told me he had a pretty average family.
"Robert!"
I saw Rob turn a deep crimson as his mom gave him a hug. He vainly tried to wipe the lipstick off of his cheek.
"Mom, where's dad?"
"He and david had to go to the store to get something for dinner toninght. I made your favorite, Alfrado with cajun chicken."
I watched Rob turn a deeper shade of red. I swear by now he was almost the color of Mike's hair in the one step closer video.
"mom, I'd like you to meet Lan. She's the most awesome girl in the whole world."
Rob said. I nervously shook his moms hand. Suddenly she seemed to have this snapish air about her that instantly changed from her warm parental air in a milisecond.
"Its nice to meet you Mrs. Bourdon."
"I supose you met this on traveling out of the states?"
His mom asked waspishly. I felt insulted but I was going to be nice and keep a cool head if it kills me, which just might happen.
"Mom! I met Lan here in Cali. She's from Ireland and imigrated her about a year ago."
"She's not like the last one is she?"
I frowned I really cant see the point of talking about someone like theyre not even there if theyre standing right infront of you.
"No mom, she didnt even know I was in a band the first few times we dated."
His mom finally let us in. I was right. It was just an average house. Not like mine, where every room in the house was either filled with kids or a bed so someone could sleep.
"So Lan what do you do for a living?"
"I'm still in high school. I graduiate around may this year."
His mom tisked arily.
"So how many people are in your family?"
I felt like I was under the proscicutors glare when she looked at me and was firing questions like a machine gun.
"About ninteen I think."
"Dont forget about Benji, Joel, Sara, Josh, and Robin."
Rob reminded me. I smiled thankfully at him.
"Aye, so that makes it about 24 people."
I swallowed nervously as two male voices called from the kitchen. It was Rob's dad and his little brother (I dont know how old his brother is so lets just say for the stories sake he's gonna be 18) His dad seemed alot more jocular then his mom.
"Dad this is Lan, the girl I was telling you about."
His dad gripped my hand briefly.
"Nice to finally meet you. Looks like you got quite a catch here Rob."
His dad said winking at me.
"Its nice to meet you too Mr Bourdon."
I said softly. Rob groaned as he pointed at his brother.
"And that's my brother, David."
"Cant ever see how someone like you always gets the hot chicks bro."
David said smugly. I raised an eyebrow as Rob rolled his eyes. His mom finally got up to check on something for dinner.
"Dont feel isulted by my mom, she does that to every girl I've dated, david's gotten it too."
"Fair point big bro, I think mom thinks no one on earth is good enough for us."
David said while nodding his head.
"So Rob tells me that you immigrated here from Ireland. What part did you live in?"
His dad asked. Now I felt more at ease when his dad was asking me questions.
"I lived on a farm just outside of Dublin. We couldnt get a house in the city, no place was big enough."
I said as his mom came back in.
"Dinner's ready."

As we walked up to the door and rung the door bell, Rob whisteled an unfamiliar tune. It was a nice house that his parents lived in. It was in an average neighbor hood. From the stories Rob told me he had a pretty average family.
"Robert!"
I saw Rob turn a deep crimson as his mom gave him a hug. He vainly tried to wipe the lipstick off of his cheek.
"Mom, where's dad?"
"He and david had to go to the store to get something for dinner toninght. I made your favorite, Alfrado with cajun chicken."
I watched Rob turn a deeper shade of red. I swear by now he was almost the color of Mike's hair in the one step closer video.
"mom, I'd like you to meet Lan. She's the most awesome girl in the whole world."
Rob said. I nervously shook his moms hand. Suddenly she seemed to have this snapish air about her that instantly changed from her warm parental air in a milisecond.
"Its nice to meet you Mrs. Bourdon."
"I supose you met this on traveling out of the states?"
His mom asked waspishly. I felt insulted but I was going to be nice and keep a cool head if it kills me, which just might happen.
"Mom! I met Lan here in Cali. She's from Ireland and imigrated her about a year ago."
"She's not like the last one is she?"
I frowned I really cant see the point of talking about someone like theyre not even there if theyre standing right infront of you.
"No mom, she didnt even know I was in a band the first few times we dated."
His mom finally let us in. I was right. It was just an average house. Not like mine, where every room in the house was either filled with kids or a bed so someone could sleep.
"So Lan what do you do for a living?"
"I'm still in high school. I graduiate around may this year."
His mom tisked arily.
"So how many people are in your family?"
I felt like I was under the proscicutors glare when she looked at me and was firing questions like a machine gun.
"About ninteen I think."
"Dont forget about Benji, Joel, Sara, Josh, and Robin."
Rob reminded me. I smiled thankfully at him.
"Aye, so that makes it about 24 people."
I swallowed nervously as two male voices called from the kitchen. It was Rob's dad and his little brother (I dont know how old his brother is so lets just say for the stories sake he's gonna be 18) His dad seemed alot more jocular then his mom.
"Dad this is Lan, the girl I was telling you about."
His dad gripped my hand briefly.
"Nice to finally meet you. Looks like you got quite a catch here Rob."
His dad said winking at me.
"Its nice to meet you too Mr Bourdon."
I said softly. Rob groaned as he pointed at his brother.
"And that's my brother, David."
"Cant ever see how someone like you always gets the hot chicks bro."
David said smugly. I raised an eyebrow as Rob rolled his eyes. His mom finally got up to check on something for dinner.
"Dont feel isulted by my mom, she does that to every girl I've dated, david's gotten it too."
"Fair point big bro, I think mom thinks no one on earth is good enough for us."
David said while nodding his head.
"So Rob tells me that you immigrated here from Ireland. What part did you live in?"
His dad asked. Now I felt more at ease when his dad was asking me questions.
"I lived on a farm just outside of Dublin. We couldnt get a house in the city, no place was big enough."
I said as his mom came back in.
"Dinner's ready."
