 Luckily for the bus driver the four slept until they got to Tempe. They would drive through to Phoenix for the next concert.

Gene had finally stopped throwing up as had Eric. Paul was asleep with his head back on the seat, Tommy' s head in his lap. The lead guitarist was finally deep asleep-his matted hair falling in his eyes and over his brow.

Suddenly the bus hit a pothole causing Gene to smack his head against the window, Eric to fall into the floor and Paul to bang his knees against the back of the seat in front of him. The three woke up cursing. Only Tommy managed to stay asleep.

"Sorry". Called the bus driver.

Paul rubbed his knees as he drifted off back to sleep. Gene picked Eric up and sat him in the adjacent seat. They shared a blanket. Paul pushed the hair out of Tommy's eyes and readjusted their blankets.

The sunlight was the next thing to wake them up. "Move Eric. Gotta pee." said Gene, bolting up suddenly.

Eric hurried in second leaving Paul to start banging on the door. "Hurry!"

Eric came out as Paul ran in. "Wow."

Tommy woke up hearing all the commotion. "Where are we?"

"Arizona."  replied Gene.

Finally everyone was showered and dressed waiting for the bus to stop for breakfast.
