Your Pal, Weird Al.

The rest of the day is filled with joy, and happiness. They finish the concert early in the morning, then Al personally takes you to a restaurant so you two could talk one on one. "Did you like it here?" Al asks you. "Yeah, it was very fun touring with you! Even though I didn't really play anything..I felt special..." Al almost tears up at that passage you said to him, but he keeps his composure to look better upon you. "Thanks, I really appreciate it.." Al responds to your kind remark. You both order food and now all that is to do is wait. "You know, there's a possibility of another tour in the works in 2026.. would you like to come? Wait, im not trying to force you or anything!!...not like- you know what? Forget what I said.. the point is, you wanna come again?" Al nervously asks you. "Hey, that sounds fun..no need to worry, I'll probably go..unless I have a tight schedule, it's probably a yes." You reply. Al nervously laughs and nods at your response.

After the awkward restaurant trip, Al takes you to an indoor playground, with trampolines and everything. "I thought you'd like this place.. cause you're young and stuff! *that's what you like, right?..*" Al says. "Thanks! Did you wanna uh..play here with me?" You ask. He nods excitedly and runs around with you in the playground. The others are mostly doing the same, taking little to no breaks, as if they were just as energetic as you were. "Are you having fun?" Al happily asks. You not and continue playing around, forgetting about all your cares in the world. This whole experience has made you feel like you were 5 again, and this final day with them makes it more authentic.

1 hour later (now at the tour bus), Al's band are laying on the couch tired, and worn out. "Was it that tiring?" You ask them, trying to hold back laughter. "I think you've forgot that all of us are in our 60s AND 70s." Bermuda tiredly responds. However, Al is wide awake on his phone, trying not to look too old and tired to you as the others.
"Now im more curious on how you aren't tired, Al." You grunt. "It's just good genes! It wasn't that tiring.. besides, there's one last thing we have to do.." Al says, sounding strong on the outside, but on the inside, his muscles are sore, and he could go to sleep at any minute.

Suddenly, it hits you that your on a tour bus with the real Weird Al Yankovic. For the past year or so, you've been living as a roadie just cause you forgot to wake up on the bus."Al, why did you do this..all of this..just for me. You took me with you on a year long tour just because I passed out on you at a concert! This must've been so stressful for you, what was just a little tour bus visit, turning into me going ON the tour with you? I'm not trying to sound rude, but why..?" You ask Al very very confused. He looks at you deeply, with a comforting smile to add on to it. "If im being completely honest, it's because I think your special. This is actually the first time I let a fan on the tour bus, so it's pretty wild for me too, don't ya think? And for me letting you go on tour with us...honestly, I just wanted a change for once, and the stars aligned for you to be that lucky charm. On behalf of me and the rest of my band, I think that we're all lucky for you to be here with us." Al meaningfully says to you in a caring and strong voice. You immediately burst into tears and give him a very big hug, soaking his shirt with tears.

The last stop that Al mentioned earlier was actually your house. Ever since the day you saw him at the concert, you've been silent on social media, but telling your parents that your safe. You didn't want to make every weird al fan jealous of you and cancel him for letting you go on, so you didn't tell anyone, for his sake. As the tour bus parks at your house, you tip the driver a whole 200 dollars. "Thanks." The driver says. You nod to him, and hop outside the bus

You, Al and the band are outside your house. All of them say their goodbyes and as a token of gratitude, you tip all of them some money. 30 dollars, to be exact. When all the other bandmembers leave and go on the bus, it's just you and Al... sitting at the front steps of your house. "The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?" he says to you. "Yeah...it reminds me of the day I passed out in your arms at that concert...." You reply. Al laughs at your joke. "I'm gonna need to get a bigger tour bus to rent for the next tour.. unless you want to sleep with Old Al Yankovic again." Al starts poking fun. "Aw stop, your flattering me...and you aren't old, ok? Just say your fine aged to the haters, I guess." You respond. "See you in 2026?" Al asks. "Of course." You reply. Al starts to cry, and hugs you tightly. You also start crying, and it just turns into a big, teary, hug between you, and the one and only..Weird Al Yankovic.
