Hybrid Theory: A [Linkin Park] Spinoff.

Drawbar.

[Rob's point of view.]
"Phoenix, why do you need my help with this episode of LPTV?" I ask between bites of a ham and cheese sandwich.
He looks at me,"This one is special. I'm getting everyone together to do an episode just for Chaz."
I look at him, clearly not bothered by the steadiness in his reply,"Okay. And this airs, when, exactly?"
"Right after Chester sees it."
"Brilliant."
Phoenix starts into one of his rambles as his laptop's camera ques up,"Hey all you soldiers out there. Today, I will be sitting down with the others to do a live interview. Now, before you ask yourself why I'm doing this, hear me out. One of us needs all the support you can give him. Chester is going through a rough patch and needs our help. This is a special episode. Anyway, my first victim is Mister Rob Bourdon. Come on over, Bourdie."
I swallow the last bite of my lunch and sit down beside Phoenix,"Hey guys. Been awhile since I did something like this."
Phoenix smiles,"So. Rob, what is your best memory of a good time you had with Chaz?"
I smile,"Obviously the time we glued Brad's guitar pick to the tour bus table. Brad was so mad, that he wouldn't talk to the two of us for a month."
"Is there any advice you'd like to give Chester?"
"I'm not really the guy he should take advice from, but oh well. Live life to the fullest, and don't be afraid to try something new."
Phoenix smiles,"Okay, best time you had Chester's back?"
"The day he was dared to walk through the mall wearing a woman's bra and high heels. He wasn't the only one. I did it with him. His were hot pink and mine were neon green."
"Okay. Thank you. Can you send Brad back, please?"
I nod,"Sure can." I stand up and walk out into the living room,"Delson, you're up."

[Brad's point of view.]
I sigh as I walk into the recording 'studio' at the back of the bus,"Yeah?"
Phoenix smiles,"My next victim, folks, is Brad Delson."
I sit down beside Phoenix,"Hey guys."
He clears his throat,"So. Brad. What was the best time you've ever had with Chaz?"
"The time we went bowling for his birthday. He beat me by thirty points."
"One time you could have punched Chester in the nose and not thought twice about it?"
"The day Chester and Rob glued my guitar pick to the table."
"Best time you've ever had his back?"
"The day he lost a bet and had to lick a flagpole in thirty degrees below and six feet of snow. I brought him coffee to thaw his tongue out."
"Thank you. Can you send Joe back, please?"
I stand up,"Yep."

[Joe's point of view.]
I sit down beside Phoenix,"Sup?"
He chuckles,"What was the best time you've ever had with Chester?"
"The day we went to see American Sniper. Hands down."
"Okay. One piece of advice for him?"
"Don't do anything stupid."
"One thing you'd like to say to him?"
"Chester, you are like a brother to me. I know we've had fights, but no matter what, I'll always be there for you."
"Okay. Can you send Mike back, please?"
"Yep."

[Mike's point of view.]
I sit down beside Phoenix,"Hey soldiers."
Phoenix smiles,"Okay. Can you name one time that you have honestly been concerned about Chester?"
"Yes. That was the day I found him passed out in his bathroom."
"Best time you've ever had with him?"
"The day we met."
"And how did you two happen to meet?"
"It was about a month or so after our original vocalist, Mark Wakefield, passed. I was at a New Years party, and Chester was so messed up that he couldn't tell the difference between his right hand and his left. So he comes up to me, and says 'Hey. I like you. Go out with me?' And just then, the ball dropped. And we kissed." I wipe a tear away from the corner of my eye.
Phoenix clears his throat,"That's all the time we have. See you next time." He clicks the stop button.
