A Night To Remember, chapter 2
Mike shifted in his bed uneasily. He could hear Tré's whooping from in here. He closed his eyes even tighter and stuck his head under his pillow, but it was no good. The words "SNOW SNOW SNOW!" seemed to cut through his pillow and slice into his ears. He groaned loudly. He sensed Billie Joe was having the same problem. He could hear shifting and shuffling coming from his bunk. Mike had had enough.
"That's it!" He screamed and took his head out of its little pillow burrow and got out of bed. He started fumbling through a cupboard. Billie Joe peeped his head out of the covers. Mike looked really mad. Tré should have known not to wake up Mike. Mike seemed to find what he was looking for. He smiled wickedly and sprinted to the kitchen. Billie could hear the sound of running water. He couldn't see what Mike was holding. Billie Joe was too tired to figure it out.
"Mike, what are you-"
Mike turned round grinning madly and holding Billie Joe's Super Soaker XXX, the most powerful water pistol in the world. He resembled an action man with his khaki shorts and shirt and messed up hair as he pumped the pistol. Billie Joe laughed and followed Mike.
"Tré's gonna kill-" Mike didn't hear the last part as he kicked open the door.
Tré was still screaming and jumping when huge fluffy snow flakes fluttered down from the sky.
"SNOW SNOW SNOW!" He screamed in ecstasy. He danced a little victory dance of delight. He heard a slamming sound, and stopped and turned. Mike was standing at the door of the tour bus with Billie's water pistol in his hand. Tré stopped and stared. He gulped. Mike looked angry. And tired. The two weren't good together when it came to Mike. Mike hopped onto the ground and into the snow. Tré could see Billie peering out of the bus grinning. He started walking towards Tré. He pulled the trigger.
"Bullseye!" Mike laughed as an icy jet of water hit Tré right in the face. Tré spluttered and fell backwards. He stumbled to his feet but the water was still hitting him. He sprinted to the left trying to dodge Mike's shot but it was no good. He was soaked. He leapt headfirst behind the safety of a parked car as the water sailed by him. He gasped and shivered slightly. REVENGE TIME! Tré thought. He quickly started making snowballs.
Billie Joe laughed as he watched his two friends fight. He loved watching their little tussles. That was one of the better sides of tour life. He watched Tré run away from Mike's shot and dive behind a car. Mike stopped squirting.
"Tré! Tré come out Tré!" He cooed. He started to walk towards the car. Suddenly, a snowball flew from behind it and hit Mike square in the eye.
"Son of a bitch!" Mike yelled as another one sailed by and narrowly missed his left arm.
"That's it Tré! I'm coming!" He ran and pumped up the water pistol again as snowballs rained down upon him. He leap frogged the car and into Tré's hiding place. Billie heard a girlish scream. Billie Joe could see Mike squirting something and laughing manically.
Tré screamed as the icy water hit him yet again. He could hardly breathe because the water was so cold. Mike was standing above him with a smile painted onto his face.
"That'll teach you to wake me up!" He laughed. Mike was unaware of Billie Joe lurking behind him carrying a handful of snow. Tré saw him and smiled. Mike saw Tré's face, frowned and turned but it was too late. Billie Joe had rammed a ton of snow down Mike's neck.
"AAAHHHHHHH!" Mike screamed. He stopped shooting at Tré and squirted Billie instead. Billie Joe pushed him to the ground and they rolled over and over in the snow as they both tried to regain balance. Mike got up first. He realised that there was no water left in his pistol. He threw it aside and quickly made a snowball as Billie Joe got to his feet. Billie Joe had also made a snowball. They stood a few metres apart as the snow fell.
"Lets do this cowboy style." Billie Joe said. Mike grinned. They turned away from each other and took three paces each. They counted down in unison.
"One."
"Two."
"Th-"
"Wait." Billie Joe said. "Where's Tré?"
"That's it!" He screamed and took his head out of its little pillow burrow and got out of bed. He started fumbling through a cupboard. Billie Joe peeped his head out of the covers.
