So the next two days, Anna was so zoned out, quiet, and just had bad anxiety and Ella, after knowing her cousin's issues, gave her frequent hugs and so did Billie because it killed him to see her like that, two days went by nothing and the next thing they knew, they were in Wisconsin and the first thing Anna did when they got to Scott's was Facetime her dad's buddy Sammy and her dad had some connections, so no one was messing with anyone
"Hey Sammy" and Sammy was basically like an uncle to her
"Hi sweety, how are you"
"Um I'm back in town and I need you to make sure that some people I'm related to, don't try and come after me or my cousin"
"Okay, I can do that, I'll take care of it, don't worry, how's your dad"
"He's good he's a pro skater now, like me and um I'm in Green Day"and Sammy's face was priceless
"Wait what, really"
"Yeah, we have a show in a couple days and you can come"
"That's awesome"
"Yeah, um wanna say 'hi' to someone that will gladly make sure that no one come after me"
"Of course" and Anna nodded at Billie and he went over by her and got in frame and she spoke
"Sammy this is Billie, lead singer and guitar player of Green Day, Billie this is Sammy , my dad's buddy" and Billie spoke
"Hey man, thanks for taking care of shit"
"Of course, anything for Scott and his kid"
"Yeah, because I swore if any of those fucking bastards tried anything, they'd get hell raised on 'em"
"Don't worry about it, no one will mess with you guys"
"Again thanks, bye"and Billie got out of the frame and Anna spoke
"Thanks, bye Sammy"
"Bye, tell your old man I said 'hi'"
"I will" and Anna hung up and spoke
"I told him he could come to the show, is that cool" and Billie spoke
"Of course Yougblood" and Billie wanted to calme her nerves, because she looked so wound up about being back in Wisconsin, so he went over to the stereo and turned on the radio and ironically Meet Me on the Roof was on and he just started dancing and Anna laughed a little and spoke
"Dork"and he grabbed her hand and she started dancing with him and he spoke
"C'mon smile Youngblood, it'll all be okay" he said smiling and she smiled, so they danced for a few minutes and Billie spoke
"Think about all the stuff we can show Ella" and Anna realized it, they could show her McKinley, Cream City, Tosa skatepark, West Allis skatepark, the trials, the Rave, downtown, everywhere and she spoke
"You're right" she said smiling and Adrienne spoke
"Plus we got Guns n Roses tonight" and Anna looked at Ella
"Oh hell yes, I am your kick ass big cousin and I am taking you to your first concert, fucking Guns n Roses"and Billie just started laughing and spoke
"So what should we do"
"Cream City"
"Okay then lets go" so Anna grabbed her board and Ella's, Billie grabbed his and they all headed out and on the way there Billie spoke
"That place is so fucking cool" since Mike, Tre, Adrienne, and Ella have never been there, so they got there and headed in and the dude behind the counter and spoke
"My favorite skater, been a while"and Anna spoke
"Yeah, well we got the rest of Green Day and my younger cousin"
"Cool,bowl's all yours, skate or die"
"Skate or die, thanks man" and Anna immediately ran upstairs and everyone followed and she geared up and immediately dropped in the bowl, went up and grinded on the coping and Ella was just watching in amazement at her cousin skate, then Anna did a bunch of other crazy shit in the bowl and the guys, Adrienne,and Ella were just watching her and Billie was recording, so he could send it to Stacy and she ended up falling at one point and her leg was bleeding and since she is short as fuck and she fell, she had to run and jump out of the bowl, with a hurt leg and Billie spoke
"You good Youngblood" and Anna looked at her leg and laughed
"Yeah, I'm good, I'm gonna go get cleaned up" and she went downstairs by the dude and spoke
"Got some first aid stuff"
"Yeah"and he grabbed it
"How bad" and she showed him
"Not that bad"
"Yeah" so she sat down and cleaned the blood off and then put a good amount of liquid bandage, let it try and she was good to go, so she handed the dude the stuff back
"Thanks"
"Of course, need anything else, just come back down"
"Ok" so she went back upstairs and when she got back up there, she saw Billie helping Ella learn to ride the mini ramp and she just stood in the doorway and smiled and watched and Adrienne was sitting there watching too, but she saw Anna and spoke
"You better, Youngblood"
"Yeah I'm good"she said smiling and she got on top of the mini ramp and looked at Billie and Ella and spoke
"You wanna learn to do what I was doing, don't you" and Ella spoke
"Yeah, can you teach me"
"Of course, I can take it from here Billo"and Billie just laughed
"Okay, I'll be down in the street course"and Billie headed down to the street course and Anna spoke
"Remember how I taught you how to get your balance"
"Yeah"and Anna started turning in circles
"Try doing that" and her cousin got that down pretty quick,so she helped her cousin some more and skated around in the bowl some more and she was drenched in sweat, took a break and went downstairs and got a Gatorade and when she was walking back up the stairs through the street course she just watched Billie for a minute and she saw him go up on a ramp cruise around and stuff and she saw a dude on a scooter do a rail slide and legit crash into Billie, what seemed on purpose, so she set her Gatorade down and ran over by Billie and the dude on the scooter spoke
"Why'd you crash into me man" and Anna spoke
"You crashed into him you scooter asshole"and Billie got up and spoke
"Youngblood go get the dude" and the 'dude' being the dude behind the counter, so she ran and got him and explained what happened and he went by Billie who was arguing with the scooter dude and spoke
"Okay so what happened" and Billie spoke
"This guy crashed into me on purpose" and the scooter dude spoke
"No I didn't this fake punk motherfucker crashed into me on purpose" and Anna spoke
"No he didn't you clearly crashed into him just to start shit"and Anna had her fists and jaw clenched and the dude from behind the counter spoke
"Okay, I'm gonna check the security footage to see what happened" so he went and did that and Mike,Tre, Adrienne and Ella were watching what was going on from the overlook, so the dude came back out and looked at the scooter dude and spoke
"Okay, your membership is revoked, you're not allowed to skate here anymore if you're gonna be trying to hurt people, if you want another place to skate, try 4 Seasons, but otherwise get out" and the scooter dude grabbed his scooter and on the way out he spoke
"Fuck you all" and left and the dude spoke
"Sorry about that" and Billie spoke
"He's gone, it's good" so they headed back upstairs by the guys, Adrienne, and Ella, and told them what happened, but they didn't let that motherfucker get in the way of them having fun, so Anna and Billie skated the bowl and of course Adrienne was recording and they had fun and skated, so eventually they left Cream City and were flying down the highway with some Crue blasting and Billie spoke
"What should we do"
"West Allis skatepark" and Billie just laughed
"Sound good"so they headed over there and when they rolled up everyone kinda just looked at them, because I mean Green Day and a pro skater rolls up to a skate park, so there was chatter and stuff, people came up to Anna and talked to her and she looked at Ella and spoke
"I can cruise with you if you want"
"Sure" so everyone just skated around, messed around, and had fun and stuff and had a good time and they eventually left and Billie spoke
"We're gonna be fucking wiped for the show tonight"he said laughing and Anna spoke
"That means it'll be even more fun"she said smiling, so they headed back home and chilled, well tried to, Anna was jumpy and excited as hell and Billie was laughing
"Damn, Youngblood I can't remember the last time you were this jumpy"he said laughing a little and she spoke
"What I'm excited"she said smiling, it made everyone happy to see Anna smiling and happy, and Billie had an idea that he knew would put a smile on Anna's face and he spoke
"Youngblood, wanna go see your favorite kick ass teacher" and Anna literally jumped off the couch
"Hell yeah"
"Well come one then" Billie said smiling and Anna's old school was still only a few blocks from Scott's house, so her, Billie, Mike, and Tre all walked there, well Anna mainly jumping, skipping, and sprinting, once they got there, they headed into the office
"Hey Mrs. Alioto"
"Anna what a surprise, can I see a smile" and Anna smiled at her
"Thank you sweetheart" Mrs. Alioto was a lady that worked in the office since Anna went there and always tried to get Anna to smile for her and was a really sweet lady
"Your welcome, Mrs. Rector still here"
"Yup, same room and it's her prep period, so that's convenient" so Anna dashed out of the office, ran up the stairs, and dashed into Mrs. Rector's classroom and spoke
"Your favorite student's in town" and Mrs. Rector looked up from her work
"Oh my god Andy" and Anna basically almost tackled her with a hug, just then the guys walked in and Mrs. Rector spoke
"How are you, what are you doing in town"
"Well we're on tour, we have a show here, visit, see some shows, we're seeing Guns n Roses tonight"
"That's awesome"
"Yeah and of course I had to visit my favorite teacher, so what've you been up to"
"Well you know teaching, but you on the other hand, what I've heard you skating it up and playing kick ass shows"
"Yeah and still doing everything I did in school, writing, music, reading, drawing freak" Anna said smiling
"Well that's good to hear, wanna know something funny"
"Hm"
"Well the teacher tell students stories about you often, one of the teachers was talking shit about you, so I may or may not have shredded her lesson plans and tests" Anna was laughing and spoke
"That's some shit I would do and thank you for defending me"
"Always" Mrs. Rector said smiling
"Y'know I actually miss sitting in your class, like you're a fun teacher and the fact that more than half of my English education was music or Green Day related helped" and her teacher just laughed
"Yeah, you were always a good student, I swear the grades now are driving me insane, your class was the last good class"
"Wow really, I did not expect that, hey would you wanna be front row at our show here and just hang out"
"That sounds awesome, hey since you miss sitting in my class, wanna sit in on a few classes, we're doing your favorite, creative writing and reading The Outsiders and Catcher in the Rye" and Billie piped up
"The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book"
"You both could sit in on a few classes if you'd like, oh and today's Tuesday so everyone has music class, you guys can go crash that too"
"Hell yeah, I'm in" Anna said smiling, then she looked at Billie, "Billie, you in"
"Sure why not" he said laughing a little
"Sweet" Mrs. Rector said smiling and Mike and Tre knew they had the option of staying or not, so they just walked back to Scott's and Ella spoke
"Where's Andy and Billie" and Mike spoke
"They're at school" he said laughing, so back at school Billie, Anna, and Mrs. Rector just talked and hung out until the prep period was over, Mrs. Rector only taught one seventh grade class out of the two classes and both eighth grade classes, Anna had her for both, and taught English and Literature, so eventually the first class came in, loud as fuck obviously, and it was the 7th grade and Mrs. Rector spoke
"Alright class as you can see we have two very special guests, you've heard many stories about one of them and they also were in the same class as many of your older siblings" and she looked at Anna, as it was her turn to speak and Anna spoke
"Uh yeah, if you guys don't already know who I am, I'm Andy please use they/them pronouns for me and both me and Billie here are in the band Green Day and I'm a pro skater" then she looked at Billie and he spoke
"Sup, I'm Billie, you guys can call me Billie or Billie Joe, I don't care, but can anyone tell me why they call it highschool" he said smiling and one kid rose his hand
"Yeah you" Billie called on him and the kid spoke
"Because you're supposed to be high in school"
"Yup" Billie said laughing, Anna, and the rest of the class was laughing and both Anna and Billie were sitting at a rolling table that was off to the side and it was ironically the table that Anna used to have Writing Club when she still went there, so she definetly feeling nostalgic and she spoke
"Since you guys are doing creative writing stories, you're in lucky because I'm a writing freak", and she looked at Mrs. Rector, "which classes are reading which book"
"Both eighth grade classes are reading a different book, seventh is reading The Giver"
"Well damn that's different" so the class grabbed their computers and started writing and Anna spoke
"If anyone needs help coming up with ideas for their story or with the format, I'm your person" she said smiling and one kid randomly started blasting Holiday on their computer and Anna and Billie were just laughing
"Nice song choice" Billie said laughing, so Anna was up around helping the class with their stories, so after the seventh grade left, the eighth grade walked in and Anna and Billie both said the same thing as before to introduce themselves, then Anna say Nathanial's younger sisterad spoke
"How's your brother doing"
"He's good"
"Good, tell him I say hi" Anna said smiling, so the class was reading The Outsiders, Anna loved that book and she spoke
"I was in Mrs. Rector's class both seventh grade and eighth and when I say I never read aloud, I mean I avioded it and never did, hey I'll read now" and Mrs. Rector just laughed and spoke
"Yeah, now we get to hear that beautiful voice of yours, after not reading for forever" and Anna just laughed and grabbed a copy of The Outsiders and started reading, she read until five minutes before class ended, then when the eighth grade left Anna spoke
"I forgot how good that book was" then the other eighth grade came in and Billie and Anna introduced themselves and when the class puled out their Cather in the Rye books, Billie's eyes lit up and no one wanted to read and since it was Billie's favorite book, he read, picture this Billie and Anna both sitting at a small rolling table, with their feet up on it, both with a Catcher in the Rye book in hand, Billie read until five minutes before the class ended and Anna spoke
"I could listen to you read all day" and Billie just laughed, so they sat in a few more English/Lit classes until the end of the school day, Anna and Billie helped Mrs. Rector around the classroom and stuff and she spoke
"Thanks for sitting in my class for a while today" and Anna spoke
"No problem, it was fun and it was nice to be back"
"It was a real break for me and way more entertaining and laid back than usual" Mrs. Rector said with a sigh
"Hey, I mean anytime I'm in town, I will gladly sit in on your class, help out, have fun, and hang out"
"Really, that would be awesome"
"Of course", Anna said smiling, "I mean one of the people, places, or things I think about when I hear Good Riddance is you because I know you love that song and Guns' n 'Roses, because I know you love them too, ever since I felt here that band and that song has always reminded me of you and it just puts a smile on my face" and Mrs. Rector gave Anna a hug
"Kid, you're gonna make me cry, you're so damn kind" and hugged her back and spoke
"I try" she said laughing a little
"I'll see you guys at the show, now get outta here before it gets chaotic"
"Alright, I'll see ya Mrs. Rector" Anna said smiling, so her and Billie walked out of the school just as it was letting out and Anna saw one of her old buddies that she'd known since fourth grade
"Ay yo Jonah"
"Holy shit Andy", Jonah said running toward Anna, "how the hell you been, what are you doing here"
"I'm good, I'm in my favorite band and a pro skater, we're on tour, we have a show here, here visiting, and to see some shows"
"That's fucking awesome, what are you doing back at school"
"Oh I came to visit Mrs. Rector and me and Billie ended up sitting in on English and Lit classes for a few hours to help out, have fun, hang out, and what the fuck are you doing back here"
"That's cool and I'm here to pick up my cousin"
"Yeah and dude honestly how the fuck are you still alive" Anna said laughing and Jonah just laughed and shrugged his shoulders
"Okay, let alone today how much have you smoked" Anna asked, since Jonah had been a stoner since seventh grade
"Only two joints vs. my usual four" and Anna was just laughing
"Hey man tell you what, wanna be front row at our show, have fun, some good music, get up on stage do a few backflips"
"That sound fucking awesome, of course"
"Sweet, I'll see you then man" and Billie and Anna started walking back to Scott's and Billie spoke
"Who was that"
"That was the Tre Cool of my class and one of my friends, is it cool that I invited him to the show"
"Yeah, I was just curious" so it was like 8:00 when they left for Guns' n 'Roses, they headed downtown and got to the Summerfest grounds, and of course they got floor seats and the guys went and got stuff for before the show and stuff and it was just Anna, Ella, and Adrienne and Anna explained stuff to Ella, since it was her first concert
"Okay, you gotta listen to me, it's Wisconsin, so there are a lot of drunk people around and plus Summerfest at night isn't the best place for kids, so just stay by us and if anyone talks or tries to touch you, tell one of us and don't go anywhere where we can't see you, but most importantly have a kick ass time, okay"and Ella spoke
"Okay" and Anna was just really happy and smiling and Adrienne smiled and spoke
"I'm glad you're happy Youngblood"and Anna spoke
"Of course I am, I got my kick ass little cousin by my side at her first concert, well technically fucking Guns n Roses, I got you and Billie, Mike, and Tre" she said smiling, so the guys came back and the show started a half an hour later and the problem with being at a concert, being on the floor, is being short, which both Anna and Ella are so they of course stood on their seats, but some security guards told them not to and Anna was just flipping them off behind their backs and that was entertaining and Ella got up on Mike's shoulders and she could actually see and was having fun and Anna was standing on her seat, even though she wasn't supposed to and Billie looked at Anna and spoke
"Wanna get on my shoulders Youngblood"and she just laughed at herself because of how short and small she is
"Okay" so she got on his shoulders and spoke
"Okay how the fuck can you even lift me, am I that fucking small"
"I guess you are Youngblood, but I mean think about how active you are and how in shape I am for my age and mainly beause if you"and he was laughing a little
"True, and Billie, you better not fucking drop me" and he was laughing
"I won't Youngblood"he said laughing and Anna saw her cousin having a good time and was smiling and that made her smile,so they jammed out and had a good time, the show ended at almost 11:00 and well people around them were of course, wasted, so they left the Summerfest grounds and were walking back to where they parked and Billie spoke
"Well I am the opposite of wiped out"and neither was Anna or Ella, so headed back home and well both of them are still kids and well after having fun and it coming to an end, they were, well, bored, so Anna being the creative person she is, she went in her room and looked in her closet, which she hasn't done in forever, so she grabbed this kind of camo/green kind of pull over and a jean jacket vest and a bunch of other shit and went back by Ella in the living room, she cut the sleeves off the camo/green pull over and started writing on and painting the back of it and then Billie spoke
"Youngblood, what are you doing"and she spoke
"I'm bored" then she cut the back out of the jean jacket vest, cut a bandana and sewed it on as the back and sewed a Green Day patch to the front and gave it a rib affect, with two old designed cloth bracelets and two Green Day pins and she handed the jean jacket vest to Ella and she put the camo/green one on and Ella put hers on and Anna spoke
"Give me a cigarette, a bottle of Jack Daniels, and call me Nikki fucking Sixx" and the guys and Adrienne sure got a kick outta that and Billie spoke
"Youngblood, you've watched 'The Dirt' too many times" he said while laughing and she spoke
"On a scale of one to ten, that's a 1.9, there is never too many times you can watch 'The Dirt' and why the fuck do I have so much energy"and Billie spoke
"Well wanna go for a bike ride"
"Hell yes, summer mid-night bike rides are awesome, lets go" so Anna grabbed her BMX bike and grabbed her dad's for Billie to ride and they left and yes, Anna was still wearing what she now called her 'Nikki Sixx shirt' and she spoke
"So where you wanna go"
"Wherever you want Youngblood"Billie said smiling
"Okay"so Anna biked them up to McKinley and she was so happy knowing that she was gonna see Celia soon, she dropped her bike and just stood there and spoke
"It's good to be back" she said smiling and Billie smiled because she was and they were both sweating and Billie spoke
"Damn, I forgot how hot it is here in the summer"and it hit Anna and she spoke
"Wait a damn minute, I can completely be myself and be comfortable in the place I call home" and she was wearing a tank top, her 'Nikki Sixx shirt' and some shorts, plus she is technically male from the waist up, so she took her tank top off and spoke
"Damn that feels good"she said smiling, and she was gonna take them the fun way and spoke
"I know what'll cool you off follow me"so they hopped back on their bikes and Anna took them down this big ass hill that led to the parkway, so the second they hit the parkway, Anna was riding no hands and even though she hadn't rode no hands in a long time, she could still do it perfectly and they were just cruising and Billie spoke
"Wow Youngblood"and she spoke
"This is nothing, I can ride the whole parkway and two bridges with no hands"
"No shit" Billie said in shock
"No shit" Anna said smiling
"And damn that air feels good" Billie said, then she hopped the curb onto the street because it was Tosa, no one was out and it was wide open and smooth and Anna shouted
"FUCK TOSA, FUCK YOU FAKE, STUCK UP ASSHOLES" she said as she was flipping basically no one off and Billie was just laughing and she spoke
"That's not even the best part , just wait" so after they made it up a big ass hill, which Anna fucking full sended it and beat Billie to the top and all Billie saw was the part of basically downtown Tosa, that was all lit up and people were outside at bars and some resturants he just started laughing
"Oh hell no, Youngblood" he said laughing and she spoke
"Oh hell yes" and no cars were out, so they just fucking hit it and when they got down the opposite hill Anna yelled
"FUCK TOSA" and someone at one of the bars yelled
"FUCK YOU KUSHNER" and immediately Anna yelled back, as they were cruising in the middle of the street
"FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER" and Billie was just dying laughing and they just cruised and took the parkway back home and Billie was laughing
"How the fuck did they know who you were"and Anna spoke
"No fucking clue"so they got back home and everyone was passed out, so they headed to bed
"Night Youngblood"Billie said giving Anna a hug
"Night Billo" and Anna went in her room to find Ella passed out in her bed, so she just laid down on the floor and stared at the ceiling and waited for Billie to fall asleep, so about a half an hour later, she left and she knew Billie would find her, so she headed over to the football field and laid down in the grass and she didn't know why but she was thinking about a lot of stuff, so about an hour later Billie woke up because he figured Anna would go to the football field, so he grabbed a blanket and some coffee and headed over there and found Anna laying on the grass
"Hey, Youngblood" and she sat up
"Hey Billo" and it looked like she was sad, so he laid down the blanket and they both sat down on it and he spoke
"What's wrong Youngblood" and she had tears in her eyes
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I miss my mom" and she started crying and Billie just hugged her
"It's okay Youngblood"
"No it's not, looking back, I was a shitty fucking kid, towards the end I knew she missed me, I knew she wasn't a perfect mom, I know, but I know she cared about and loved me and I fucking miss her, for years I felt like she wasn't there for me and didn't consider her my mom, and I never got her back, I just want my mom back"and Billie understood and spoke
"Youngblood you weren't a bad kid, and I know and I get it and I know you want her back and to tell her how you feel and you want everything to be okay" and Billie was ready to cry and Anna spoke
"I've called myself shit names since as long as I can remember and it hurts that I fucking believe them, I just want my fucking mom back, I want her to be there for me like she wasn't, when that prick would come over it was like a fucking switch flipped, she would go from being my mom and backing me up to he's always right and I'm in the wrong and not even noticed, she wasn't fucking there for me when I was fucked up and towards the end when I still saw her, I was starting to get her back, but then she did the fucking unthinkable and I was blamed for it, well good, I should be fucking blamed for it, all I did was treat her bad" and she was just crying her eyes out in Billie's arms and hearing this, he had tears in his eyes and was speechless
"When I was younger, she used to care about me and sing to me and her affection meant something, but then when I was older it was like she wasn't there and like she didn't care about me and her affection didn't mean anything to me, and it hurts so fucking bad knowing that we can't fix it and that because I left and that she did actually did care and missed me, she fucking did it and y'know what I am a shitty fucking pathetic disgrace and disapointment, those motherfuckers are right, I'm dumb, stupid, a fuc-" and Billie hugged her tighter and cut her off
"No Youngblood, no you're not and I know you want to fix it and I know you just want your mom back, I know you just want a mom and I'm sorry"
"I just want her back" she said in almost a whisper and Billie spoke
"I know Youngblood, I know" and he had tears rolling down his face and she spoke
"I don't know why but when I'm upset and crying, my wrist hurts and I don't like it"
"It's okay Youngblood" and he just hugged her and she basically cried herself to sleep almost and Billie looked down at her and saw that she was passed out he spoke
"Love you, Youngblood"and he laid her down on the blanket and he just sat there and thought about what she had said and was just staring at the starry sky, crying, and his heart broke, about what Anna said and he knew that he was going to try and make her as happy as possible and try and cheer her up. So about two and a half hours later Billie woke Anna up and he just smiled at her and spoke
"Morning Youngblood" and she just hugged him
"C'mon let's go get caffeinated" and they got up and walked to Starbucks, got coffee, and headed back to the football field and just sat on the blechers and watched the sun rise and Billie spoke
"Hey Youngblood, guess what"and she just looked at him
"We get to go see Motley Crue today" he said smiling, he was going to have to try and cheer her up and Anna knew that Billie wanted her to be happy, but she didn't want to fake it, because it'd hurt
"C'mon Youngblood, what can I do to cheer you up" and she just shrugged her shoulders and he gave her a hug, then he pulled his phone and Anna couldn't see what he was doing
"Whatcha doin" she said and Billie spoke
"I plead the 5th" and put his phone away, so to try and cheer her up, he just acted goofy and like a dork, which made her smile and laugh a little and it was only about six in the morning
"C'mon Youngblood" Billie said standing up, so Anna followed him and they headed to the park basically right next to football field and the skate park and the stage was right across the field from the playground, so they went chilled on the stage and people were just starting to go out for walks and runs, young parents with their young kids, walking around, going to the playground or running around in the grassy field or walking on teh parkway behind the stage and the stage was a common place for people of all ages to hang out and a place little kids would run around on and stuff, one young mom and her little girl, who looked to be about five or six, we walking on the concrete area that was around the stage and the young mom stopped and looked at Billie and Anna with her jaw dropped and her little girl looked up at her mom and spoke
"Who is that, mommy" and the young mom spoke
"They sweetheart, are the lead singers and guitar players for my favorite band" and the young mom looked like she was about in her early 20's, and Billie and Anna were both in earshot, so Anna hopped down and walked over by them and Billie followed and Anna was smiling and she said 'hi'
"I didn't expect to find half of Green Day in Hart Park" and Anna spoke
"Yeah, well we're in town for a show and to see some shows, plus I'm from here" and once Billie got over by them he said 'hi' and Anna noticed that the little girl was staring up at her, so she crouched down to her hight and the little girl spoke
"Are you a boy or a girl"and Anna and Billie just laughed a little and she spoke
"Well, I'm gender fluid, sometimes I feel like a girl, sometimes I feel like a boy, sometimes I feel like both, or sometimes I feel like neither, so I'm basically every gender"
"That's so cool, I thought it was just girl and boy" and Anna spoke
"No, there are way more then that, and has your mom ever played music from her favorite band" and the little girl nodded
"Well, I'm Andy and this is Billie, both of us are in your mom's favorite band, so what do you think of our music"
"I love it" the little girl said smiling and Anna held up her hand and the little girl gave her a high five and Anna spoke
"You can be what ever you want when you grow up, no matter your gender, you can grow up and be the next really cool female rockstar"and the young mom was just staring in awe at this, smiling and Billie was smiling and the little girl spoke
"Like Joan Jett" and Anna had a huge smile on her face
"Yep, just like her and you like Joan Jett"
"Yeah" and she gave her another high five and stood up and looked at the young mom and spoke
"Can I get a picture with your rockin' kid"
"Oh my god, of course" the young mom said smiling, so Billie and Anna crouched down to the little girl's height and the mom took a picture on her phone, then they both sttod back up and the little girl looked up at Billie and spoke
"I like your hair" and Billie just laughed a little
"Thanks, I like your taste in music, would you and your mom want to come to our concert tomorrow" and the young mom that her hand covering her mouth, in disbelief and the little girl spoke
"Yes, that sounds super fun"and Billie looked at the young mom and spoke
"You guys will be in the front row and have special passes" and the young mom gave Billie a hug then spoke
"Thank you so much"
"Of course" Billie said smiling and the young mom spoke
"Well we'll see you guys at the show and thank you so much again"
"No problem" and the young mom and little girl started walking away and the little girl turned and waved at them, so of course both Billie and Anna waved back at her and were smiling and laughing a little, then Billie turned to Anna and spoke
"Well that was just adorable and awesome, what should we do Youngblood"
"It was and um I got an idea, I know where Joe lives and he doesn't know I'm back in town, so go suprise him"
"That sounds good and do you like just suprising people" Billie said laughing a little
"Yep" Anna said smiling and Billie was glad to see her smiling, so they walked to Joe's and he didn't live far at all, so Anna knocked on the door and of course Joe answered and Anna spoke
"What's up you tall motherfucker" and Joe was just in shock
"Oh my god, Andy what are you doing here"
"Well we're back in town for a show and to see some concerts, wanna come to the show"
"Wait really, oh my god yes" and he gave her a hug and spoke
"You guys are awesome" he said smiling
"Yeah, well you've seen Green Day, before me, so of course, you're gonna see them with me" and Billie was just laughing and Anna spoke
"Front row, special passes"
"That's amazing, thank you"
"Of course, well we'll see youy at the show, bye man"
"Bye Andy, bye Billie"and they left and as they were walking Anna's head was filled with a lot of different thoughts and had tears in her eyes and Billie saw and spoke
"What's wrong Youngblood"and she spoke
"I swear I always put up a wall or act when I'm not okay, especially around people that don't understand, like Joe, and I fucking hate it"and he just hugged her
"It's okay Youngblood"and Billie got an idea
"First one home is a loser"and he just bolted and of course Anna caught up with him and spoke
"Love is for Losers, Armstrong, see ya" she said as she passed him, even though she has asthma, she skateboards, for god sakes, note that they are like almost hour walk home, so they stopped for cars of course, and stopped to catch their breathe once or twice, so Anna didn't have an asthma attack, so of course Anna beat him and spoke
"I don't care if I won, I'm still a loser" and Billie caught up with her and they both sat down on the porch steps and Billie was laughing and spoke
"No you're not, Youngblood"
"It's okay to be a loser, it just depends how good you are at being one" and Billie just had a stupid look on his face and spoke
"Yeah, I got nothing"he said laughing a little
"Well come on, let's go see who's up"so they went in the house and Ella and Adrienne were up an the guys were gone and Ella came over by Anna and gave her a hug and Anna looked down at her and spoke
"Morning Ella Bella, how you doin" she said smiling and Ella spoke
"You guys barely sleep, don't you" and Anna just laughed a little
"Yep, but I mean between me and Billie, total, we're on about 4 hours of sleep and we ran here from the village we get to see Motley Crue tonight" and her and Billie were laughing, and Ella let go of her and she turned to Billie and spoke
"So who's getting the expresso" and Billie just laughed and spoke
"We've already had two things of coffee" and Anna just shrugged her shoulders and went over and grabbed her guitar and she started playing Same Ol Situation, the best she could and started laughing
"No way in hell I will ever in a million years, ever compare to Mick Mars" and Billie just laughed and spoke
"Neither will I, Youngblood" and it was almost only 8am, so they still had a while before they headed to the show, so of course Billie and Anna both had some more coffee, to keep themselves going, and eventually the guys came back and Anna spoke
"I am literally this close to going and suprising Celia, but I gotta wait, but I'm so damn bored and tired" she said laughing and Billie spoke
"I got an idea, wanna race" and Anna just laughed and spoke
"We raced here from fucking Tosa"
"I know, but all of us" and Mike, Tre, and Ella were in and Adrienne would record, as usual, so they started at the end of the sidewalk and Adrienne was standing in the front yard, with her phone and Anna spoke
"We race to the end of the block, whoever wins gets to dye the loser's hair whatever color they want" and Adrienne counted off
"3,2,1 Go" so Anna, Billie, Mike, Tre, and Ella all raced down sidewalk and Anna and Ella tied and Billie lost and it was the funniest shit ever to them, and Billie spoke
"Fuck, okay what color is my hair going to be punished with" and Ella and Anna couldn't decide, so Anna went on her phone and clicked on a random color generator and the color was what looked like a mix of purple and pink and she showed the color to the guys and Adrienne and they were just dying, then she showed Billie and his face was priceless and spoke
"I am never going to live this down" so they headed over to the nearest Sally's Beauty store and they went to the hair dye section and Anna spoke
"Wait, we never said if it was temporary or permanent dye" and they were all laughing, so Anna grabbed a quarter and spoke
"Heas, permanent, tails, temporary" so she flipped it and it landed on tails, so Billie lucked out, well kind of, so they got a thing of Arctic Fox pink temporary hair dye and a thing of Acrtic Fox purple temporary hair dye, then headed back home, so Anna and Ella had a field day dyeing Billie's hair and of course Adrienne was recording the whole thing and it was so funny and the final result was fucking hilarious Mike, Tre, Adrienne, Anna, and Ella were all dying, laughing and Billie spoke
"Okay, let's do some more bets so I can get you back" and Anna spoke
"Fair enough, how about try not to laugh challenges, loser has to eat a spoon of cinnamon powder"so all of them were in, so they watched a shit ton of funny videos and Adrienne was the first one to laugh
"Shit" so she went to the kitchen and grabbed a spoon and a thing of cinnamon powder and she ate it and it was disgusting
"Son of a bitch, that's fucking disgusting" and everyone was just laughing, then Tre lost a bet where he had to snort some salt and it was funny as hell, then Mike lost a bet where someone got to draw on his face in sharpie, so Billie drew a mustache on him, and finally Anna lost a bet and she had to shave the sides of her head, of course Billie got to do it because she dyed his hair pinkish purple, but thank goodness he actually made it look good, so it was fair, then Ella lost a bet where they dumped a pitcher of pink lemonade on her head, outside, so they all lost bets, Billie ended up with pinkish purple hair, Adrienne had to eat a spoon of cinnamon, Tre had to snort salt, Mike got a sharpie mustache, Anna ended up with shaved sides, that were actually pretty good looking, plus Anna was wanting some shaved sides, and Ella got pink lemonade dumped on her, so it was a very eventful few hours, then everyone got ready for the show, Anna was wearing her 'Nikki Sixx shirt' and was just shirtless, the advantage of having a flat chest, her camo, ripped shorts, and her studded belt and her pimped out band shoes and she made Ella a homeade Motley Crue shirt from one of her old shirts and was wearing the jean vest jacket that Anna punked out for her, and of course everyone else had either a Joan Jett, Def Leppoard, Poison, or Motley Crue shirt, Anna kinda forgot that Mike, Tre, and Ella have never seen her chest after her surgery, so it was kinda different to them a little, but it was fine and Billie spoke
"Damn Youngblood, how the fuck can you dress so good for shows" and she just shrugged her shoulders and she looked at Ella and spoke
"At 11 years old, you get to say that your first concert was Green Day, then Guns n Roses, then Motley Crue, Joan Jett, Def Leppoard, and Poison, then Green Day again, and Kiss, which is fucking awesome" and Billie spoke
"What row did you think I swung for, Youngblood"he said smiling and Anna spoke
"Mmh 5th"
"Nope" Billie said with a smile
"1st" and Anna was so excited and spoke
"No fucking way, really"
"Yep,well let's go see, the world's most nitorious rock band, Joan, Posion, and Def Leppoard" and they left and the show was at Miller Park, so they got their seats, in the first row, on the floor, coolest fucking thing ever, so they waited a little while and just chilled, then about an hour later, Joan was the first to take the stage and played a song or two, then she spoke
"Well, I see my favorite little punker, right here in the front row"she said smiling, which brought a shit ton of attention to them
"Andy Kushner of Green Day, of course" so Joan got like an hour set, which of course Anna and Ella were rocking out to, then Def Leppoard and Poison and of course Anna was dancing around, being sassy during Poison and Billie was laughing and spoke
"I never knew you liked Poison, Youngblood" and Anna just smiled at him and spoke
"It's nothing but a good time Billo" and he just laughed, then the one and only Motley Crue took the stage and Anna could not believe that she was seein, Vince Neil, Nikki fucking Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars, the guitar god, in the flesh, right in front of her, so they played the most kick ass hits and a shit ton of fun and the amount of special effects and everything, it was fucking amazing and at the second to last song, before they played the final song, Kick Start My Heart, Vince spoke
"Since we've been on tour with Joan, she's told us a lot about a certain someone, this kid kick ass in both the music and skateboarding world, and is a huge role model for young LGBTQ kids and is a true rockstar, so without further a due, Andy get up here" and Anna was in pure fucking shock and looked at Billie and spoke
"No fucking way, no fucking way, holy shit" so she got up on stage and someone gave her a guitar and they jumped into Same Ol Situation and she was mind blown, she was playing besides fucking Mick Mars and singing along side Vince Neil, so at the end of the song she spoke
"Girls Girls Girls, yes please" so then she gave the guitar back to whoever gave it to her and spoke
"There is no fucking way, that I just played Same Ol Situation with Motley fucking Crue, I got nothing, except Joan, you're fucking awesome" so she flashed her 'Nikki Sixx shirt to the crowd, then jumped off the stage and Billie tackled her with a hug and spoke
"That was so fucking awesome"he said smiling and Anna was still mind blown, so then they played Kick Start My Heart and after the song Vince spoke
"We are Motley fucking Crue" and everyone was cheering and the confetti cannons went off, so everyone cleared out and well they got to hang back stage with everyone, Anna could not believe that she was hanging out with Motley Crue and Nikki spoke
"Andy, what does your shirt say on the back" and Anna laughed a little and took off her 'Nikki Sixx shirt' and was trying not to laugh and she showed it to him, then spoke
"I was originally gonna paint the whole back black, but I didn't have enough paint, so I went with multi-color, used a paint marker and wrote music is my life, wrote Green Day at the top with some permanent markers and oil pastels, same with Motley Crue, I wrote 'Fuck Tosa' on there, which is basically where I grew up" and Nikki laughed a little and spoke
"You wrote 'Nikki fucking Sixx' on here"
"Yeah"
"Let me guess, The Dirt"
"Yeah"
"Well this is really fucking cool" and Anna was trying as hard as possible to keep her cool and was actually successful and spoke
"Thanks" and she pulled a sharpie out of her pocket and literally got all of Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppoard to sign her arms, so Tre Cool and Tommy Lee in the same building, you know there is gonna be laughs for sure, so they had fun and Anna could not believe that this day was even happening and she looked at Ella and spoke
"Let's see you've seen Green Day, Guns n Roses, Joan Jett, Def Leppoard, Posion, and Motley Crue, have met Joan Jett adn Motley Crue, and are still going to see Green Day again and Kiss, at 11 years old, you've got me beat kid" and Ella spoke
"Correction, actually my first concert was Joan" and Anna spoke
"Oh yeah, I forgot, my kid cousin saw Joan Jett before me, but my mom was pregnant with me during like the last Ozz Fest or something and Iron Madien and Velvet Revolver and Megadeath" and Billie spoke
"Damn Youngblood" and Anna spoke
"Yep, so actually it would be Joan Jett, Green Day, Guns n Roses, Joan Jett again, Def Leppoard, Poison, Motley Crue, then still Kiss and Green Day again" so they walked out of Miller Park and Anna was smiling her ass off and Billie spoke
"You happy Youngblood" he said smiling and she spoke
"I jut got my arms signed by Motley Crue, Poison, and Def Leppoard, I got to play on stage with Motley fucking Crue, got to hang out with with Motley Crue, and Nikki fucking Sixx said my shirt was really fucking cool, of course I'm fucking happy" she said smiling to death and Billie just laughed, so they headed back home and it wasn't that late at all, so Anna when and grabbed her stick and poke stuck and sat down and literally stick and poked each signature on her arms and the guys, Adrienne, and Ella were just amazed by how Anna could just sit there and do that, so after she was done she showed them and Billie spoke
"Damn, should we add tattoo artist to the list of stuff you are awesome at, and tell me that hurts, because that's gotta hurt" and Anna spoke
"Oh yeah, it hurts like a motherfucker, but I also skate, so you build up a higher pain tolerance from that, plus biologically women have a higher pain tolerance than men, and I'm gonna ice these fuckers" so she iced her arms for a little bit, then told Ella to pack a bag and she did herself and changed, then Billie spoke
"Youngblood, what are you doing"and she spoke
"I'm gonna suprise Celia, and she hasn't seen me in a while, and I don't think she would say no to me and Ella spending the night"
"Oh, that's cool" so once they both had a few things packed up, Anna spoke
"We'll see you guys tomorrow" and Billie gave her a hug and spoke
"Have fun Youngblood"
"I will, I'll make sure of it" she said smiling, the guys said bye to her and Ella, so Anna, Ella, and Adrienne headed over there, of course withe the windows down and music blasting and Anna cut the music a few blocks away from Celia's house so she wouldn't hear it, so Anna, Ella, and Adrienne walked up the driveway and Anna knocked on the back door and Celia answered and her face was priceless when she saw Anna, she tackled her to the ground in a hug and she spoke
"I missed you, loser" and Anna laughed a little and spoke
"I missed you too, dork, now can I get up"she said laughing, so they both got up and Celia spoke
"What are you doing here" and Anna spoke
"Well, we're on tour and we're in town for a show and to do stuff and visit, and I wanted to suprise you, and yeah" and Celia said hi to Adrienne and Anna spoke
"My younger cousin is staying with me for a while, so I figured a girl's night, well kinda, a sleep over anyway"and Celia spoke
"That sounds awesome and my house is your house, plus my parents are out of town, so you won't have to deal with them"
"Thank god, no offense" Anna said in relief and Celia just laughed
"None taken" and Adrienne spoke
"Well, I'll leave you guys to have fun, Youngblood if you need anything, call one of us"and Anna spoke
"Don't worry, I will" and she gave Adrienne a hug
"Bye 80"
"Bye guys" Adrienne said as she was walking down the driveway and Anna spoke
"So this is my cousin, Ella, she's 11" and Celia looked at Ella
"Cool, nice to meet you" and Ella spoke
"You too" and Anna spoke
"So we gonna have fun or what" and Celia spoke
"Hell yeah"
"Damn Celia Fossett, just swore, hell froze over" and Celia just laughed, so they headed inside and Celia spoke
"And don't worry about my sister, she's at a friend's house"
"Good" so they headed upstairs to Celia's room and Anna and Ella set their stuff down and grabbed her stick and poke tattoo stuff out of her beg and spoke
"I don't care what you say, you dork, I'm giving you a stick and poke tattoo" and Celia just laughed
"Fine" so Anna gave Celia a blue stick and poke tattoo heart, then gave herself one and Anna spoke
"Your parents are gonna fucking kill you"
"You're the one who did it, so they'll kill you too" Celia said laughing and Anna laughed a little and spoke
"You're forgeting the fact that I am on tour and am gonna be gone in like two days"
"True" and Anna spoke
"And you are coming to our show tomorrow"
"Awesome" and Anna started dying laughing, she forgot that she never really told Celia her gender, pronouns, that she had surgery or her name and Celia spoke
"What"
"Nothing, I'll tell you later" Anna said still laughing, so her, Celia, and Ella did a lot of fun stuff, watched a shit ton of movies, and of course Ella passed out first and it was at like midnight, so her and Celia walked up the block to McKinely and chilled on the playground and Celia spoke
"So what was so funny that you didn't want to say around Ella" and Anna laughed a little and spoke
"Well, y'know I like girls right"
"Yeah" and Anna was still laughing a little
"Well I never fully came out to you, I identify as gender fluid, which means sometimes I'm a girl, sometimes I'm a boy, sometimes I'm both, and sometimes I'm neither, my pronouns are them/they, and one more thing" and Anna took her shirt off and put her 'Nikki Sixx shirt' back on and spoke
"A while back I got top surgery and I'm on hormone blockers, so I'm basically a guy from the waist up and a girl from the hips down, except, I don't get my y'know like I normally would that time of the month, that's what was so funny it that I forgot to tell you that" and Celia spoke
"Oh, that's cool and I think it's really cool how diverse you are and that you're different genders"
"Really"Anna said smiling
"Yeah, of course" Celia said smiling and Anna noticed that Celia kept staring at her chest and she spoke
"You can ask me whatever you want, it's fine"
"Okay, um does your chest hurt and what's it like"
"It doesn't and I don't know, but hey when I'm hot I can just take my shirt off" she said smiling and Celia gave Anna a kiss on her cheek, which caught her off guard, and she looked at Celia and spoke
"What was that for" she said with a red face, clearly blushing and Celia spoke
"I don't know"and Anna kissed her back, and it kinda went on from there, but only kissing and Anna spoke
"I thought you are straight" and Celia just shrugged her shoulders, so they just hung out up there for another hour, then started walking back to Celia's house and Celia put her hand in the back pocket of Anna's jean shorts and Anna's face immediately went red and she gave Celia a kiss on her cheek, so they got back to her house, snuck back upstairs and crawled in bed and when they laid down, Celia laid her head on Anna's chest and Anna just played with her hair and they both passed out. So about at 9am Anna and Celia woke up and Anna saw Ella just chilling, on her phone and spoke
"Morning, Ella Bella" she said smiling
"So, you having fun" and her cousin spoke
"Yeah" she said smiling
"Good" Anna said smiling and Celia sat up and gave Anna a kiss on her cheek, then got up and went down stairs and Ella was just staring at Anna and she just laughed and spoke
"I'll explain it later" and Anna got up and stretched and looked at Ella and spoke
"Um does it bother you when I don't have a shirt on" and Ella spoke
"No, it's fine, as long are you're happy and comfortable" she said smiling and Anna just smiled at her and spoke
"Best cousin ever" and Ella just laughed, so Anna just changed into some pajama pants and headed downstairs and found Celia, in the kitchen making breakfast and it was sunny as usual out and Anna spoke
"Eating breakfast here just like the good ol days" and Celia just smiled and Anna gave Celia a hug from behind and spoke
"So what do you wanna do today before the show" and Celia spoke
"Has Ella been to McKinley"
"No"
"We could hang out there for a while, go hang out in the village, hang out by the river, hop on our bike like the good ol days" she said smiling and Anna spoke
"You're forgeting the fact that I'm a pro skateboarder" and Celia laughed a little and Anna had an idea
"If we head to the village, you can get some good footage of me skating, and you've never seen me really skate" and Celia started laughing and spoke
"You're still shorter than me"and Anna just had a stupid look on her face
"Dork"
"Loser" and Ella walked in and Anna went and sat that the table with Ella, so they ate, got ready, and headed over to McKinely and they hung out there and then biked and skated over to the village, got Starbucks, and went to the skate park and Anna skated a bit, then they headed to the back trails and hung out by the river and just talked, mainly it was Anna explain what a wild ride her life has been for almost the past two years and it was fun and awesome and stuff, so they headed over to Tony's to get something to eat, so they went in the back and Anna saw Tony and spoke
"Hey Tony" and he spoke
"Mini Kushner, I haven't seen you in a while, what's going on"
"Well, I'm on tour and we're in town for a show and to visit and my dad's back in California"
"Nice, so what can I do for ya"
"Think we can get a pizza"
"The usual"
"Yep"
"Okay, grabbed a table"so her, Ella, and Celia went and sat down and Ella spoke
"Who's that"and Anna spoke
"One of my dad's buddies" and 10 minutes later Tony brought a pizza out for them and Anna spoke
"This is my younger cousin, Ella, who is staying with me for a while and my friend, Celia"and Tony spoke
" Nice to meet you, well enjoy, if you need anything else, just say the word"
"Thanks Tony" so they ate and then headed back to Celia's house and it was like almost five by now, so Anna and Ella grabbed their stuff and Anna gave Celia a ticket and a pass and spoke
"First row" Anna said smiling and Celia just smiled and Anna kissed her, then spoke
"I'll see you at the show, dork" and Celia spoke
"See ya, loser" she said smiling and Celia looked at Ella and waved
"Bye Ella"
"Bye" Ella said smiling and Anna and Ella started walking back home and Anna spoke
"Um the stuff with Celia, can you not tell anyone for now, please" and Ella spoke
"Of course"
"Thanks" so they spent their walk talking about all sorts of different stuff, so they got home and Adrienne and the guys were all hanging outside and Billie spoke
"You guys have fun" he said smiling and Anna spoke
"Yeah" and she had stuff planned for the show, that no one knew about and Billie noticed
"Hmh Youngblood" and she spoke
"Nothing"
"Yeah okay" Billie said laughing a little, so Anna and Ella went and threw their stuff down in Anna's room and headed back outside and sat down on the steps and Anna spoke
"So, you have fun without us" and Billie spoke
"There's no party, if the life of the party leaves" and Anna just laughed a little and spoke
"So should we come up with a set" and that sounded good, so Anna went and grabbed some paper and a pen and they came up with the set:

And the guys were kind curious of why Anna added the songs she did and Billie kinda figured that Anna had stuff planned for the show, that's why she added those songs, so they practiced a little, so the guys and Anna got ready for the show, then they eventually headed over to the Summerfest grounds and did a sound check and hung out and stuff and Anna was really excited for the stuff that she was gonna pull during the show, so about an hour later, people started showing up to the ampitheater and it would be another almost hour and a half before they went on stage, and of course as always, the next thing they knew was that they were walking out on stage and were met with cheers and right as they walked out, they could see Celia, Mrs. Rector, Joe, Jonah, the little girl with her mom, and Sammy and Anna just smiled and waved and Billie spoke
"How you doin Milwaukee"and he got massive cheers back and he could see that people in the crowd were laughing and spoke

"So like yesterday, me and Billie were hanging out at the park and this young mom and her daughter walked by and the mom's face was priceless because two members of Green Day were sitting right there, so we talked to them and took pictures and stuff, anyway her kid is rockin and so cute, so why don't you get up here" and Anna could see the young mom in tears of joy and security helped the little girl up on stage and Anna crouched down to her height and spoke
"I never asked, what's your name"and the little girl spoke
"Sophia"
"That's such a pretty name" and Billie walked over by them and said hi again and Anna spoke
"So do you wanna stay up here on stage for a song or two" and Sophia nodded, so they jumped into ?Viva la Gloria? and Anna sat down and motioned for Sophia to sit next to her and she did and Anna just sat next to her and sang the song and once it was over, Anna spoke
"You get to pick a song for us to play next" and Sophia spoke
"When I Come Around"
"Good choice" so tehy jumped into When I Come Around and Sophia was just dancing and Anna was just singing and laughing and smiling and when teh song was over Anna spoke
"Can I get a hug"and Sophia gave her a hug, so Mike and Tre were keeping the beat to the next song, which was Back in the USA and Anna walked Sophia over by Billie and Sophia gave him a hug and Anna pointed to Mike and Tre told her who they were, then Sophia went over and gave them hugs and it was the sweetest thing ever, so then Anna led her to the front of the stage and security gave her back to her mom, who was smiling to death, so then they played Back in the USA, and before they played Oh Yeah!, Anna spoke
"When Billie told me that we were sampling some of Joan Jett's music I literally lost my shit because of how awesome that is" she said smiling, so they played Oh Yeah!, then Nice Guys Finish Last and before they played Horseshoes and Handgrenades, Anna spoke
"I finally managed to find someone who loved skatboarding and Green Day, back when I was still and school and he's been my friend since and is now also a pro skater, like me, so Joe, you tall motherfucker, get up here, we're having an ollie contest" so security got Joe up there and Anna grabbed two boards and spoke
"Whoever messes up first loses" so at the first ollie they both did, they jumped into Horseshoes and Handgrenades and Joe ended up messing up first, so Anna won and the song was done, so Joe did a stage dive and before the next song, Anna spoke
"Joe, I know you love this song, this one's for you" and they jumped into Bang Bang and Anna spoke
"Jonah get your stoner ass up here" she said laughing, Jonah got up on stage and was doing all sorts of flips, gave Anna a hug, then did a running jump off of an amp into the crowd, so after Bang Bang, they played Meet Me on the Roof, which had literally everyone dancing, hell even Anna and Billie were dancing to it, then King for a Day and Anna had a tank top on, so she took it off and spoke
"I'm gender fluid, a while back I had top surgery and I'm on hormone blockers, I am comfortable in my body and what I where, I am comfortable with the fact that I like girls, I am comfortable with my name and pronouns, I am comfortable with the fact that I am basically a guys from the waist up and a girl from the hips down, and anyone who has a problem with that or doesn't support LGBTQ, can fuck the hell off" and Billie gave her a hug, then they both sang it and it's one of the most fun songs to perform or sing ever and plus Billie was being Billie and Anna was dying laughing, so then they played St. Jimmy and man were Anna and Billie ready to burn down the world, Anna had so much energy and adrenaline from that song, that she did the pelvic thrust 1,2,3,4 and Billie just laughed, then Redundant, then 2000 Light Years Away and after the song, Anna spoke
"There is a special someone that I've know my whole life, that I basically grew up next door to, well in the past few years, I haven't been able to see them a lot, but I am happy as a motherfucker when I get to see them, get up here dork" so securtiy got Celia up there and Anna grabbed her by her waist and kissed her and all you heard from the crowd was cheering and 'ooooo' and a cat call or two and Celia gave her a kiss on her cheek and spoke
"I love you, loser" and Anna turned her head and looked at the guys and they looked excited and in shock and their jaws were dropped and she turned around and looked at them and spoke
"You guys weren't expecting that were you"she said with a small laugh, so she turned and gave Celia kiss on the ceek and security got her down, then Anna went over by Billie and he wasn't speaking into his mic
"Holy shit Youngblood, I'm so happy for you" and he gave her a hug, then Mike gave her a high five and Tre gave her a thumbs up and she just laughed a little, to herself, then they played Sugar Youth and Junkies on a High, which were so fucking fun to play, then Warning and by now it was dark out and the songs slowed down, so then they played Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Billie had them cut the lights and he got that big fucking spotlight flashlight and shined it on the crowd and said some stuff that would make you feel not alone and bring tears of joy to your eyes and Anna was just over there, smiling her ass off, then they played Still Breathing and Anna was literally almost singing in tears, smiling because of the pure energy of the crowd whenever they play this song, it was always a song about surviving stuff and such a relieving song and at the end of it, Anna spoke
"I love that song too much, it remind me that I'm still here, because of some amazing people that love and care about me, that I live for and I can for sure say that my true family is made up of my dad, my aunt, Mr. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mr. Mike Dirnt, Mr. Tre Cool, Adrienne, and last but not least my younger cousin Ella, one of the most kick ass kids ever and I don't care who the fuck hears that" she said smiling and she went and gave Billie, Mike, and Tre a hug, and Billie spoke
"No matter what Youngblood, you will always be our family, no question and the people who you're related to, that have hurt you, they don't and will never deserve such an amazing person like you" he said smiling, and she gave him another hug, so then the confetti cannons went off and people were cheering as Mike and Tre walked off stage, since bass and drums weren't needed for the rest of the songs and Anna spoke
"Ella, I know how much you love this next song and how much you love the movie to, you're the best cousin a kid could ever ask for and I love you and will always look out for you" so Anna and Billie played Ordinary World and at the end of the song, Anna felt someone's arms around her and she looked and it was Ella and she just smiled and wasn't speaking into her mic
"I love you Ella Bella" she said smiling
"Go give Billie a hug" Anna said, laughing a little, so Ella went over and gave Billie and hug and he looked down at her and smiled and laughed a little and spoke
"I love you too Ella" he said smiling, so Ella ran off stage and Anna was laughing a little, then her and Billie started playing the beginning of Good Riddance and Anna spoke
"One of many people, places, or things I think about whenever I hear this song is my seventh and eighth grade teacher, man this teacher, coolest fucking teacher ever, loved Green Day and bunch of other amazing bands, one of the kindest people I've ever met, helped me find my passion for writing, always made sure I was okay, always tried to put a smile on my face, this is her favorite Green Day song, everytime I hear this song she is one of the people I think of and also everytime I hear Guns' n 'Roses, which is ironic because I we just saw them the other day, so Mrs. Rector this is a thank you" so they Good Riddance, then Thank You and after that, the confetti cannons went off again and Mike and Tre came back out on stage and people were cheering their lungs out and the guys and Anna were waving and Billie was of course blowing kiss every where to people in the crowd, so then they walked off stage and the crowd was seriously cheering and Billie spoke
"Damn, they're really loud, just my type of crowd" he said smiling
"Should we do an oncoure" and Anna spoke
"Sure"
"Okay, pick two songs" and Anna picked Graffitia and how could they forget Youngblood, so then they walked back out on stage and the crown went nuts and they played Graffitia first, then Youngblood and of course Billie changed up the lyrics a bit and everyone's favorite part
"She said fuck you, I'm from Oakland" and both Billie and Anna flipped off the crowd and Anna was smiling to death, then when the song was over, Billie spoke
"We are Green Day, we love you, thank you and goodnight" and they walked off stage for real this time and Billie spoke
"Damn Youngblood, you really did pull some shit tonight and I was not expecting, but it was the coolest show ever that"he said laughing a little and she spoke
"Thanks" she said smiling and Billie seemed like he had something planed and so after they decompressed for a little bit, and Sammy came back stage and talked to Anna
"That was the coolest thing ever, I swear and no one will be messing with you guys from here on out when you're in town" and Anna spoke
"Thanks"
"Of course, and say hi to your old man for me"
"I will" Anna said laughing a little and Sammy left, then Joe came back stage and spoke
"Kushner, I don't care what you say, we are skting together while you're in town" and Anna just laughed and spoke
"I know, anyway have a good one man" and then Jonah came backstage and spoke
"That was fun as fuc- HOLY SHIT JOE" and Jonah basically tackled Joe, since they hadn't seen each other in forever, so they left together to go hang out, then Sophia and her mom came back there and her mom spoke
"I have no words, thank you so much, that was so awesome" and Anna spoke
"Of course" then she grabbed a sharpie and signed Sophia's shirt, then Billie did and Mike and Tre and Anna crouched down to Sophia's level and gave her a high five and spoke
"You rock, kid" and Sophia responded by giving her a hug and Anna just died of cuteness and Sophia's mom took a picture, then Sophia went and gave Billie, Mike, and Tre high fives, then left and Anna spoke
"Cutest fan ever" she said laughing a little, then Mrs. Rector came backstage and spoke
"Thank you Andy, that was amazing "
"Of course and you're welcome, I love visiting and seeing you, you're the coolest"
"So are you, well I have to go grade shit" and Anna just laughed
"Yeah and I was the only kid that you would swear around" and Mrs. Rector just laughed and spoke
"Yeah whatever you swear like a fucking salior too"
"Proudly", Anna said with a smile and she gave Mrs. Rector a hug, "I'll see ya Mrs. Rector"
"Bye and call me"
"I will" Anna said smiling, then Mrs. Rector said 'bye' to the guys then left, then finally Celia came back stage and attacked Anna with a hug and a kiss and Anna spoke
"Yes, dork, what do you need" and Celia spoke
"Nothing loser, I love you"
"I love you too, but can you get off of me" Anna said laughing a little, so Celia got off of her and Anna had that stupid smile on her face and Celia spoke
"I will see you later, loser" and she give Anna a kiss on her cheek, then left and Anna was left standing there with a red face and Adrienne spoke
"That was adorable, Youngblood" and as if Anna could not get anymore embarassed, in a good way though, and just to mess with her, Billie spoke
"Aww, Youngblood's in love" he said laughing a little and Anna had a stupid look her face and barried her face in her hands and laughed, then spoke
"I hate you guys" she said laughing and Billie spoke
"You love us Youngblood" he said smiling and laughing a little and Anna spoke
"I do and I mean I have had a crush on her for a while" and Billie just laughed a little, then he went and grabbed something and came back with two leather jackets and he handed on to Anna and one to Ella and spoke
"Look at the back" and they both flipped the jackets around and Anna's said 'Youngblood' on it, with trilogy pink x's on the top half of the back and some spikes, then the bottom half had a black and red Harley and read 'Dizzy', Dan's nickname and Ella's had a big peace sign on it and said 'Ella', with trilogy pink x's and Anna started tearing up and spoke
"How'd you know that Dan loved riding" and Billie spoke
"I told your dad about the idea and he told us that Dan used to work for Harley Davidson, he loved motorcycles, and riding, so I had that put on the back of yours" he said with a smile and Anna gave him and cried a little
"Thanks Billo"
"Of course Youngblood" he said smiling at her, so she wiped away her tears and spoke
"These are fucking awesome" she said putting hers on and Billie spoke
"Of course Youngblood and that's not all, c'mon" so the guys, Anna, Adrienne and Ella walked out the back on the ampitheater and the first thing Anna saw was three motorcycles and she just looked at Billie in shock and he spoke
"Well this tour is presented by Harley and it is Milwaukee, so I had to" he said smiling and neither Anna or Ella had ever been on a motorcycle, so this was gonna be fun for sure and Billie, Mike, and Tre all hopped on a bike and Billie spoke
"Well wait are you waiting for Youngblood, hop on" so Anna hopped on Billie's bike, Adrienne hopped on Mike's, and Ella was on Tre's and they left and cruised through the stuck up rich neighborhood by dowtown and were blasting Girls, Girls, Girls, which of course was essential for the given moment and they cruised around and it was so fucking fun, and Anna had never felt more free in her life, which was an unusual but good feeling, so they circled back to Summerfest and sat up on this huge ass hill that over looked one of the main stages and the next thing Anna saw was Kiss walking out on stage and she spoke
"Well damn, I saw them with my dad once, now you guys" so they just sat up there for the whole show and it was fucking awesome and just like the last time they were in town, and Anna nudged Ella and spoke
"Your first and most likely last Kiss concert ever" and Ella spoke
"Well at 11 I can say that I've seen Green Day too many times to count, Guns n Roses, Motley Cure, Joan Jett twice, Def Leppoard, Posion, and Kiss, and all with my amazing big cousin, and my favorite punk rock legends, my non-toxic family" she said smiling and Anna had tears of joy welling up in her eyes and she pulled her cousin into a hug
"You kick ass kid, you're gonna make me cry" she said laughing a little, so they cruised around a little bit more after that and then eventually headed back home and it was around like 11:30, so Ella passed out on the couch almost immediately and everyone was worn out, so they all fell asleep shortly after, except Anna, but before Billie went to sleep he told Anna if she was planning on going anywhere, just to leave a note, then he went to sleep, so Anna left a note saying that she went to Celia's and she headed over there, so when she got there, she knocked on the door and Celia answered and spoke
"I knew you'd be bye, loser, my parents are still outta town and my sister is still at a friend" she said with a smirk, then Anna kissed her and you could only guess what happened from there, but it was pretty amazing, so they ended up laying in bed, with Celia's head resting on Anna's chest and Anna playing with her hair, just talking about a lot of stuff and it was about one in the morning and Celia passed out, so Anna changed back into her clothes and left Celia a note that read, 'Will you be my girlfriend' and she left. Meanwhile, back at home, Billie had woken up to see if Anna had gone anywhere and he saw her note, so he made some coffee and just sat down at the kitchen table and waited for Anna, so about forty minutes later, Anna quietly came back in the house and the first thing she saw was Billie sitting at the table and he just smiled at her, so she sat down across from him and he spoke, quietly
"So" and Anna spoke
"So, what ?"
"Judging by the hickey on your neck, you had some fun" he said laughing a little and Anna's face immediately went red and she spoke
"Shit" she said laughing a little and Billie spoke
"It's cool and congrats Youngblood, you got yourself a girl"
"Yeah" Anna said smiling and she grabbed a cup of coffee and sat back down by Billie and she just started silently laughing and spoke
"Y'know I don't really realize how much I am just one of the guys, I mean I'm attracted to girls, I could most likely out drink quiet a few people, I'm a pro skater, I have a flat chest, like a guy, and I can just talk shit for hours with almost any guy" and Billie spoke
"Well you are one of the guys Youngblood and will always be one" he said smiling and Anna spoke
"But I do have a question, why and how are girls so damn fine, I literally don't get it" and Billie just laughed and spoke
"Youngblood, that question has been asked since the beginning of time and they just are" he said while laughing
"So, Youngblood, wanna go star gaze or what" and she spoke
"That sounds good, but can we just chill in the bowl"
"Sure" so they headed over there and just hung out in the bowl and star gazed and stuff for a few hours and Billie spoke
"Wanna go watch the sun rise on the blechers"and Anna spoke
"I got a better idea, c'mon" so they headed down to the lake front and sat on a bench on the parkway just above the lake and watched the sun rise and just talked about whatever and Billie spoke
"Well, apparently at this point smoking actual cigarettes are better for you then vaping or e-cigarettes, so we're gonna throw out your e-cig" and Anna just started laughing a pulled out a pack of smokes from her pocket and Billie spoke
"Youngblood, where the fuck did you get those" he said laughing and Anna spoke
"Stole 'em at Summerfest" then she pulled out a lighter and spoke
"And I stole this from Celia's house" and Billie was just laughing and spoke
"Damn, Youngblood, you really are your dad's kid" and she spoke
"Yep, except I don't have to beg, bargain, and steal everything" she said lighting up a cigarette and she handed the pack to Billie and when she let out that first puff of smoke, it felt like it took all of Anna's worries away with the small cloud of smoke and the sun rising over the water, was fucking beautiful and Billie spoke
"Holy fuck, that's fucking beautiful" and Anna just smiled and spoke
"Yeah" between some coffee, a smoke or two, watching the sun rise with one of her favorite people, and most likely having a girlfriend, she was happy, so after driving around and listening to some music for a while, they went and got some more coffee, strong coffee of course, they headed back home and everyone was up and she went and sat down next to Ella on the couch and gave her a hug and spoke
"Morning, Ella Bella" she said smiling and she rested her head on top of Ella's head and Ella spoke
"Morning, Andy" and she looked up at Anna and spoke
"How did you get a bruise on your neck" and Anna's face went red and Mike, Tre, and Adrienne all looked at her and she spoke
"I'll tell you when you're older" she said laughing and she heard Billie laugh a little, from the kitchen, and she looked at Mike, Tre, and Adrienne and opened her mouth to speak and just then there was a knock at the door and Anna answered it and Billie spoke
"Saved by the bell" he said laughing and it was Celia and she grabbed Anna by the waist, kissed her, and basically, kind of dipped her, while kissing her and then spoke
"How's that for an answer" she said smiling and Anna spoke
"I'll take it" she said laughing a little and they let go and Anna stood next to Celia and wrapped her arm around her neck, over her shoulder and spoke
"Well now I have a girlfriend and damn does that feel good to say" Anna said smiling and Ella came over by them and looked at Celia and spoke
"Hurt her and you won't like me" and Anna just laughed and spoke
"Believe me, Ella Bella, you don't have to worry, but I appreciate it" little Billie and Bandit came over and sniffed Celia and started barking and waging ther tails and Anna spoke
"Well you are little Billie and Bandit approved, so we're good" she said smiling and Celia just laughed and Adrienne came over and spoke
"Young love" and Anna spoke
"If being best friends since we were 2 and 3 counts as young love, then this young love has been around for a long time" she said laughing a little and Mike and Tre came over and Tre spoke
"Cutest couple" and Anna spoke
"That title would actually go to Billie and Adrienne" and both Billie and Adrienne just smiled and laughed a little and Mike spoke
"So even the people you date are taller than you" and Anna just had a stupid look on her face and Celia just laughed a spoke
"I've been taller for like since we were nine or something" and Anna spoke
"Y'know what, how about you spend the rest of the summer with me" and Celia's face was priceless and Anna looked at Billie and spoke
"If that's cool" and Billie spoke
"Of course, as long as it's cool with your parents" and Celia spoke
"As long as I'm occupied and productive during the summer, is what my parents have always wanted for me and man would my sister love me gone" and Anna just laughed a spoke
"Your sister is a fucking brat, dear god the amount of times she ruined us hanging out" and Celia's parents had never been really fond of Anna, because of stuff, but that happened when she was younger and she was a kid for god sakes, nowhere near perfect and didn't know better, so yeah, so Celia stepped out and called her parents and they said it was fine, suprising and Anna spoke
"So, some Wisconsin fun for the last day here" and everyone though it sounded like a good idea, first Anna called up Joe and everyone headed over to Tosa skate park and Anna spoke
"I think Stacy would like some new footage" so Anna, Billie, Ella, and Joe all skated and Adrienne was of course recording and they did a good two and a half hours of some good skating and Joe spoke
"I'll see you Andy" and Anna sent that skate footage to Stacy and she spoke
"Hold up a minute" and she called Stacy and basically got him signed to Powell Peralta because the company he was skating for couldn't even pay to keep him in California and he didn't even have his own board yet and plus he was just a really awesome skater and could do both bowl and street and she spoke
"You my friend just got signed to Powell Peralta and you are on a flight to California first thing tomorrow" and Joe basically hugged her to death and thanked her a million times and she spoke
"It's cool man, I'm just glad you're happy, anyway I'll see ya in California" and they left and Celia and Anna were pretty much thinking of places to go, since they knew the area the best, so they went back home and grabbed some beach stuff and headed back downtown and headed to Bradford Beach and Lake Michigan isn't the cleanest lake ever,the amount of broken beer bottles in there and sharp rocks, so no one really went in the water, except to like cool their feet off or whatever so they pretty much just hung out and stuff and Anna and Celia both used to play volleyball for school, even though they both hadn't played in a while and the fricking volleyball net poles were literally rainbow, which made it even more awesome and gay and Anna spoke
"You're on Fossett"and Celia spoke
"We've smoked your old school everytime we played them" and Anna just laughed and spoke
"I actually used to cheer for your school instead of my school" so they played a few games of volleyball, which was fun and Celia ended up winning, but it was just fun and games, so then they all headed over to the Third Ward and walked around and checked out shops, went to the Public Market which had the best stuff ever, Wisconsin wise and it was just really cool, so they walked around the Third Ward and downtown in general some more and they came to a statue and Anna spoke
"Oh yeah and downtown Milwaukee has a staue called The Bronze Fonz" and it was literally a bronze statue of Fonzi, then went and got ice cream, of course, so everyone had a good time and eventually they headed back home and they dropped Celia off at her house and everyone got their stuff packed up and then Celia came back over with her stuff and everyone just hung out and stuff and Anna cooked dinner for everyone, since it was their last night there for a while and she'd never had cooked for everyone before, and they were blown away by her cooking and Billie spoke
"God damn Youngblood, how can you cook so good" and Anna spoke
"Well you learn when you're on your own in the summer" so after everyone ate, they just hung out and Ella eventually passed out, so did Mike and Tre, and Anna and Billie went on a midnight bike ride, then went to the football field and star gazed and while they were doing that, Celia and Adrienne were sitting out on the porch at home and just talking and Adrienne was telling Celia about Anna's habits, how she is, whose nicknames were whose, and stuff and Celia was telling Adrienne funny stories about her and Anna from when they were younger
"I've known Andy since I was 2 and they were 3, what I've been able to tell my whole life about them is that they didn't really have a childhood, not the best home life, and just had issues, but despite that, one of the best friends in the world" Celia said smiling and Adrienne spoke
"Yeah, Youngblood's got issues just like the rest of us, except they just never really got help for them, instead have a great support system and people that love them and I swear they are one of the best kids ever" she said smiling and Celia just smiled and spoke
"How long have they been smoking" and
"Wait, what" Adrienne said sounding suprised and Celia spoke
"Yeah, when I kissed them, I tasted cigarettes and coffee" and Adrienne spoke
"I'm not suprised, and that sounds like Youngblood" she said laughing a little and Celia spoke
"So where do Andy and Billie go almost every night"
"Well, they go star gaze at the football field by the skate park, then watch the sunrise, it's their own thing that they do when we're in town" Adrienne said smiling and just then she noticed Celia's blue heart stick and poke tattoo and spoke
"Youngblood gave you one too"
"Yeah, then they gave themself one" Celia said smiling and Adrienne spoke
"Yeah, Youngblood gave me, Billie, Mike, Tre, and Ella all a black one, then gave Ella and themself a red one, then gave you and themself a blue one, different bonds and meanings for different people that they love" she said smiling, so they just sat and talked for hours. Meanwhile Billie and Anna were still star gazing and Billie spoke
"Youngblood, how much sleep are you on" and Anna spoke
"Um none, I'm going on almost my second day with no sleep, just smokes and caffeine, I'm gonna sleep on the plane" and Billie just laughed
"Sounds about right" he said smiling and Anna spoke
"Y'know since I don't have to worry about anyone I'm realted to here anymore and I've cut everyone off, basically, I feel like I can finally call this place home, because I've replaced all the fucked up memories with good ones" she said smiling and Billie just looked at her and smiled and spoke
"I'm glad Youngblood" so they just star gazed and Anna fell asleep for a couple hours and Billie woke her up to see the sun rise, then of course they went and got coffee, for them and for everyone else, then they headed back home and everyone was up, so they just relaxed for a while and woke up, then hopped on a flight to California and Anna could for sure say that she for once had a worry free, kick ass time in her home town.
