“Jimmy!” Robert said shaking Jimmy. “Meredith is gone!” “WHAT!” Jimmy jumped out of bed, and was in a panic. He turned to his pillow to find a note. He opened it, the band members watched him as his eyes bolted across the paper. When he finished reading he walked over to the window, and stared out it. Jonesey walked over to him. “Pagey, are you alright?” “Yeah, I’m fine. I just don’t know what I’m going to do without her. And the concert is today!” Jonesey looked over his shoulders to look at the rest of the band.” Well, we need to get going, you slept in. It’s one now. “

All of the band was in their dress. They all loaded up in a car. Everyone of them was excited, but Jimmy. He was staring out the window. “Jimmy, It’s five now, do you want a drink?” Bonzo said to Jimmy trying to help. “No. It’s fine.” The cars pulled into the Madison Square Garden parking lot. All of their equipment was ready, and so was the band. Let the concert begin.

There was a thick layer of suspense in the arena. Then crashing drums from “Rock and Roll” lifted the fog up. Nothing but excitement now. Jimmy came out with his Les Paul, while Jonesey and Robert began. “It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled.” The crowd went nuts, Jimmy had his miniature solo, and so did Bonzo at the end. After “The Ocean”,”Celebration Day” and “Black Dog” there was a guitar switch. The next song is “Since I’ve been Loving you.”

I ran upstairs into my room. “Crap, I have to go!” I looked at my bed to see my dragon dress folded up. I stripped of my clothes and threw on the dress. “Ok it’s ready!” I held up my guitar pick, which I turned into a necklace.” I wrapped it around my neck and hooked it. I held the guitar pick and wished I was Madison Square Garden. In Jimmy’s dressing room. I felt a little bit dizzy, but it wasn’t as bad as before. I listened to the music above me. Perfect timing. “Since I’ve been loving you” just finished. “Jimmy Page: electric guitar.” I heard Robert say. Then I heard footsteps. I ran over to a little closet in his dressing room. “K guys, you get a fifteen minute break. And Jimmy, let’s get some more spirit!” their manager Peter Grant said to them. I Heard the door close, and the cot springs creak. I looked out of the closet to see Jimmy’s face buried in his hands. I quietly walked over, as quiet as a church mouse. And I touched his shoulder. “Jimmy?” He looked up at me with teary eyes. His eyes grew large. “Meredith?! Why, What are you doing here?!” He jumped up and swung me around. “I couldn’t stay away from you for too long! I needed Jimmy love!” I said laughing, and so did he.

“Truth is Jimmy, I love you. I can’t stay away from you. When I got back into the horse stall with my music, I broke down in tears! I can’t stay away from you for too long.” I said tearing up and hugging him. “Listen, I know you don’t have a ticket to the concert..So, why don’t you come to the side stage?” Jimmy said to me. “ARE YOU SERIOUS! YES!!” I yelled. “Jimmy! Who is that?” the door flung open and Peter Grant was there. “Peter, this is my girlfriend, Meredith.” “Hi, oh my god, you’re Peter Grant!” Right now excitement was taking me over. Jimmy grabbed my hand and led me out to the side of the stage. Jimmy handed me a guitar. My eyes widened as he hooked it up to an amp. “Do you mind playing with us? “ Jimmy said to me. I was shaking. “ I don’t know, I mean I guess I can. I’m just going to be really nervous.” “ You’ll be right next to me.” Jimmy said comforting me. “Ok, lets do this.”

There was a cloud of dry ice all over the stage. And the, Jonesey’s keyboard sang out. “No Quarter! I actually know how to play this song!” I said under my breath, but apparently Jimmy heard me. He grabbed my back and hugged me. And we walked forward together. Jimmy and I were practically in sync. The crowd went crazy when the saw me and Jimmy. I looked up at him when I saw the audience. The whole arena was full, and there were big screens outside, so New York could see me. Robert started to sing. The drums and guitars were silent. “They took the path where no ones gone” And the guitars and drums started up. Before I knew it, the song was done. The crowd went nuts. Jimmy pulled up my hand,and the crowd went nuts.I looked over at Robert, we both smiled at each other, I was jumping up and down. I was ready to play the rest of the concert. “Follow me really quick.” Jimmy said to me. He gave me his Les Paul. My jaw dropped, and my eyes widened. He grabbed his double neck. “The Song Remains the Same is next.” I said to him. “How did you know that?” “I have the movie.”
