Rock Dog: The Songs We Sing

Chapter 12 - Jet Lag

"Bodi!" Angus called the mastiff out as he rushed to the mansion's basement studio. Angus called for an emergency meeting at the studio.

"Coming!" Bodi shouted, running as fast as he could. He made it inside and found the rest of the band inside. If Angus need to make an announcement, it must be something important.

Angus grabbed everyone's attention. "Alright, everyone. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day because Johnny and Ash will be coming over as temporary replacements for Trye, who broke his arm." Trey, the show-off cheetah, only sighed, disappointed he would be unable to perform for the St Jupiter concert. "By the way, how's your arm?"

Trey pointed as his bandaged arm. "At least I'm feeling much better. The doctor told me the cast should be off in a month, but he recommended not to perform for the next two months."

"Bummer," Grem muttered. The goat drummer enjoyed Trey's solo guitar skills.

"At least we have Ash to replace Trey," Darma added on. "Maybe Trey can also help her integrate into our way of life."

Angus agreed. "Exactly! Which was why we're going to welcome them in style."

"And what would it be?" Bodi asked. He could not wait to perform alongside Johnny.

Angus provided the big announcement. The cat smiled and answered, "We got a prime spot at Rock-and-roll park for tomorrow's performance. Most of the rock bands will be performing tomorrow, including us!"

Bodi wagged his tail in excitement. It had been a long time since they last performed at that park. All he could do was to leap into the air.

"Well, I'm sure Bodi's raring to go!" Grem commented.

"A long time coming," commented Bodi. "It has been a damn long time! I know how we can prepare for this..."

Angus knew what the mastiff was going to ask. "More rehearsals?"

"You bet! Let's get this going!"

Everyone huddled forward and (apart from Trey due to his broken arm) stretched out their paws before lifting into the air.

"Rock Dog!"

Los Angeles, California, 3 hours on the bus. With only Johnny and Ash on the upper deck of the bus as it heads to LAX, the bus pulled to a stop at a nearby rest park for refuelling before the final leg of the bus leg.

Johnny and Ash got out and head to the restroom before convening at the store. They needed to grab some last-minute supplies at the convenience store before their flight to Mengcheng.

"Anything else? I think we got what we needed for the flight," Ash asked Johnny, carrying the stuff to the cashier.
