A Trip to the 80s

AC/DC

After leaving Parker's room, I couldn't believe what Maddox had said. Why didn't he wanna go? Did I make him mad? Did Parker and his friends force him to stay? I don't know, but I hope he changes soon.

We all walk to the concert because it's not that far from Amanda's house. On the walk, I examine the neighborhood Amanda lives in. Hey, I think to myself. That kinda looks like Mr. Walter's house. And that one looks like Diana Ewell's house... that house is exactly the same as Ms. Hobbling's house... "Teegan!" I whisper loudly. "What?" Teegan replies. "We time traveled to the same neighborhood we live in!" "Well duh Sheena, where else would we time travel to?" "I don't know, a different city?" Teegan laughs and we keep walking. "Wait, isn't Mrs. McClain's first name Amanda?" Teegan asks. I look give her a look and she mouths 'watch'. "Amanda, whats your last name?" Teegan asks with a smile. "McClain, why do you ask?" Teegan gives me the 'I told you' look. "Wait, you guys meet me in the future, don't you?" Amanda eagerly shouts. "What does my future look like?" "We can't tell you that, it might ruin our future." I reply to her.

Amanda gives a confused look, and then shrugs her shoulders. We arrive to the concert at about 5:00, and we go to where they're selling tickets. Amanda, Stacy, and Erin pull out there tickets. "Two tickets please." Amanda says and smiles. "That'll be $20." The ticket seller says, obviously bored. "That is a lot of money!" Stacy says. Amanda and Erin agree, while me and Teegan are giving each other the 'what did she just say?' look. Teegan checks her pockets, and then looks me dead in the eye. "Sheena, we didn't bring money." I gasp and check my pockets. Nothing. I start to panic until I hear a familiar voice from the crowd behind me. "Sheena! Teegan!" Maddox shouts to us. "I brought $100 for tickets!" Teegan and I laugh. "Maddox, it's only $30 for all of us." Teegan says. "Then we can buy snacks!" Maddox says happily while giving the ticket seller $30. The ticket seller gives us each a ticket and motions us through the doors that lead to the floor where hundreds of AC/DC fans were yelling and screaming and hold up rock gestures with their hands.

"We made it!" Erin shouts over the loud crowd. "Yeah! This isn't what I was expecting!" Maddox shouts back to Erin. "What were you expecting?" "I was expecting AC/DC to be on stage!" I couldn't hear Erin laugh but I could tell she was. Erin and Maddox look at each other and smile. "Barf!" Stacy says and we all laugh.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, a man , obviously drunk, walks in and shoves me. "Excuse you!" I say to the drunk man. He turns around and gives me the dirtiest look ever. "Ex-c-c-use yourself miss-s-s-s 70s rainbow wom-m-man," he says while laughing stuttering. Amanda scoffs and tells me and everyone else to stay away from him. "That's Bobby Hulls. Let's just stay away from him." she says.

We move to a different spot and not too long after we move, AC/DC finally comes on stage. Their opening song was Thunderstruck, of course. Listening to Angus Young's guitar gave me the chills. It was amazing. After Thunderstruck they played a lot more songs than I expected. Teegan and I sang all the words to "Big Balls", and we could not stop laughing.

I look over at Erin and Maddox singing together, Amanda next to Teegan as they are both screaming and jumping, and Stacy playing air guitar. They look so happy, I could never ask for better friends. Best friends I should say.

They played "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (which is my favorite song), "Shot of Love", and a lot more songs. They ended with "Hells Bells", which was a great song to end with. Before they got off stage, Bobby somehow made his way up to the stage. He started acting like he was friends with Brian Johnson, giving him a handshake and a pat on the back. The crowd roared with laughter when Brian just went with it. Security had to pull Bobby off of Brian, then the show was officially over.

After we left the concert Erin suggested we get food with Maddox's leftover money. We all agreed and went to McDonalds. I couldn't believe the prices on the menu, they were way cheaper than they are right now. Amanda, Stacy, and Erin claim it's "way too expensive".

After McDonalds we go back to Amanda's house. "Well, we can stay the night here and then we can go back home tomorrow." Maddox says with a solemn expression. "Do we have to leave tomorrow? Can't we stay for at least another week?" Teegan asks. "No, Teegan. We have to leave before the 80s thinks we are one of them. If that happens, 2016 will forget about us being teenagers and it will create us as adults." Maddox explains to all of us. "Then you guys should let the 80s think you're one of us!" Stacy suggests. "We could, but that would be a bit too hard..." Maddox says.

After getting ready for bed, Maddox look at me and Teegan and says something that might change everything in our lives. "Guys," Maddox says. "We don't have a way back, at all."
