After a delicious Italian dinner the party time has finally started.
My grandma took Johnny home and Lilly went to the bathroom to change into a more comfortable dress.
The boys have brought alcohol to the tables and we were ready for a long night. Many new guests came after the dinner, just to have fun and dance with us. I greeted most of them, still waiting for Lilly to come back.

Finally she made it back to our table. My wife now wore a short white dress and black converse shoes. I just took my tie off.

- Josh, we've prepared a surprise for you. Guys, you can come on stage now!

Anthony has shouted and I looked at the stage. A second later Foo Fighters appeared.

- Wooooah!

I screamed.

- Oh my God!

Lilly was amazed. She was a fan of Dave and she's never seen him live before.

We've danced to 'All my life', 'Everlong' and 'Times like this' like maniacs. Tony was spinning Lilly all the time, I could tell that she was getting dizzy. Me, Flea, Chad and dad were jumping and doing crazy dance moves.
Then, they played some rock classics and we've decided to drink some more.

- Clara, Loesha, come here, have a shot with us!

Lilly has shouted.
After a few rounds our moods were brilliant.

Her parents had been talking to my family for hours. They were really intrigued by how life in Europe is like.

- How are you doing? Are you enjoying the party?

I asked them, taking a seat.

- It's great. The food, the music, the atmosphere. We're really happy to be here. Sarah and Martin are so nice.

- It makes me really happy. They are great, but their daughter is the most perfect human being!

I drank a glass of wine with them and chatted a bit and went back to the dance floor.
Eddie from Pearl Jam was spinning around with Chris Cornell in his arms. Kim was looking at them with Stone and Mike and they were laughing their asses off.
Zach was kissing Clara in the corner of the room.
At least 100 people were dancing to Foo Fighters' music. I didn't expect so many to come. During the last few years I made friends with many musicians. The Peppers have invited their friends who I didn't even know, but I didn't care.
I spotted my dad talking to a brunette in a beautiful yellow dress. She looked familiar. Who was she? I've decided to find out. When dad went away to open another beer, I walked to her.

- Hey, I'm Josh. I don't want to be a creep but I've seen you talking to my dad, so I thought that I should at least get to know your name.

- Hi Josh, I'm Emily. Do you remember me? I've dated your dad years ago... I was so immature and stupid, I don't know what I was thinking. I got scared when John told me that he had a son. I still regret that night, I found out that you had a car accident because you've heard our stupid argument...

- Emily, is that you? Wow. I wouldn't recognize you. That's fine, I already forgot about it! So much happened during the last 5 years. What are you doing here, Em?

She didn't have a chance to respond, because dad was back.

- She's Loesha's best friend. And they had made a plan to...

- John, it's too embarrassing, I shouldn't have told you that...

- Oh, I get it, you want to fuck my old man! We all need the d from time to time... Just don't get scared by his saggy balls...
