Bill & Ted Time Is Now

Chapter 2

"Last night together, dude" Bill said and they stopped outside their very small and messy rented apartment. "Bill, dude we will just move approximately six houses away."
"Yeah, but still dude."
"I understand you, Bill."
"I know" Bill said and put a hand on Ted's shoulder. He gave him a smile. "You will always be my most excellent friend and partner."
"Same, Bill."

It was a late evening and Bill and Ted were taking a walk. Well, they were just moving their asses to buy some stuff at the Circle K.
"Hi, boys" the kind old lady greeted from behind the checkout when her favorite costumers entered the store.
"How's it hangin'?" Ted asked and smiled to her. "I'm fine, thank you. Anything special you're looking for?"
"Nah" said Bill. "We just want chips and some beer."
"I want a slushie" said Ted.
They got out of the store. The sky was dark blue and the stars were shining. They both looked up. "Whoa" Ted said. "Not bad, dude" Bill said.

They got back home. Began to practice their guitar playing.
"Sounds most triumphant" Ted exclaimed. "Yes, Ted. But we have a long way left to go." Ted sighed. "Yeah..."
"Is it something, dude? You seem pretty melancholy."
"Well, I just... I'm just thinking to much, you know? Sometimes it feels most heinous to already know what will happen to us. You know, we will be guitar gods and be known all over the world. We're destined to change the world, most literally. We will marry our girlfriends, get babies, you know. What if something goes wrong, what if we fail?"
"Oh, duuude, that's some deep shit! This is not the Ted I know. The Ted I know doesn't worry about little things. He doesn't even worry about big things! He's very easy-going, dude, which is great. Have you met him?"
"Well, yeah, he sounds familiar. But what if he has changed? What if he actually have started to feel like life is so much more than what he thought. More than to play around and stuff. What is he has started to feel... responsibility?! Bogus, what the station am I talking about?! I'm sorry for that deep stuff, dude."
"It's okay, Ted. Sometimes I feel the way you do too. Sometimes I think things would be better if we had never met Rufus and got that phone booth. But, then, the world will go under, which is a most odious event."
"Station, dude."

That night Bill and Ted couldn't sleep. They just couldn't. Instead they practiced their guitar playing or talked.
"Oh, dude. I wrote us for guitarr lessons at the recreation center" Ted said. "Good or bad idea?"
"Good, dude."
Eventually, around 4 AM, they tried to get some sleep.
"I can't sleep, dude."
"Me neither. I can't believe it's our last night together" Bill said. Ted laughed. "Cool it, Bill. As Elizabeth said, we will still meet and we won't move far."
"I know... But we have lived here together for two and a half years, you know? Even when we were little dudes we always slept over at the other one's house."
Ted laughed hard. "You remember that time we put water in Deacons bed and when we were 13, and he peed his briefs?!" Bill started to roar with laugher. "Yeah, that was most truimphant!"

Next day Bill and Ted woke up by someone knocking on the door.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Ted asked. "Don't you remember? You asked me to help you to move."
"Yeah, right" Ted said, yawned and rubbed his tired eyes.
Captain Logan walked into their apartment and looked around, mumbled to himself. "How can you live like this?"
"It doesn't bother us, Mr. Logan" Bill explained and Captain Logan mumbled again.
"Finally you have decided to grow up" Ted's father said as he helped Ted and Bill to carry out the little he would take with him to the other apartment.
"What ya mean dad?"
"You get your own place, you have a fiance. When will you get a proper job so that you can pay off your debts?"
"Well, dad. One day Bill and I..."
"...will be famous rock stars... Have heard that before. Just because you won the Battle of The Bands, in some inexplicably way, you won't get any further probably. Sure, you will sell some records, get some money, but it's not a lasting and proper career. And first of all, you have to learn how to play!"
"We will, sir" Bill said. "Yes, dad. We know it. We've come pretty far. You wanna hear?"
"Um, not now, my son."

Ted placed the last box of his, most unecessary crap on the floor in the new apartment. One room and a little kitchen, just like Bill's and his. "Hi, Ted" Elizabeth said and came towards him. He kissed her. "Hi, babe."
"This will be so much better!" she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around Ted's neck.
