Green Day, Marilyn Manson And My Chemical Romance, chapter 2
The next two weeks were chaos! It was VERY hard to convince Aifric's mother that it would be OK and that the four boys would 'protect' them (or as Shane put it 'get drunk/high and be no help whatsoever in a chrsis') and that they would be fine and that there would be 'no' alcohol. In the end all seven sets of parents agreed with Tanzi's agreeing lastly. Tanzi neglected to mention who they were touring with but had told her parents that they were backup if any of the band members got hurt/drunk/high/dead etc.
Their first stop was California to get stuff at the band member's houses. On the way there Tre and Pogo didn't shut up giggling and staring at Tanzi or Aifric or Aisling and whispering to one another. In the end Mike showed Tanzi, Aisling and Aifric to the room they had to share on the tour bus. Tre kept following them until Mike yelled at him. Aifric asked why Mike never hit Tre. Mike said it was because Tre was his 'son'. Tanzi got worried.
Their room was 'pretty fuckin' big' as Aifric put it. Mike explained that they could put up whatever posters they wanted up and if/and/or when things got gross/nasty/out of hand/sickening/disturbing we had to come up here immediately or else we stood a chance to get our innocence taken away prematurely.
"What innocence?"? Tanzi asked innocently.
Mike looked away in the other direction and blushed slightly and turned back over to them and continued to say that he would leave to let them get aquatinted and that he would be showing the boys to their room and that we couldn't go ANYWHERE their room after dark. Or any of the other band members rooms for that matter. Ever. Tanzi, Aisling and Aifric agreed . For obvious reasons.
The next morning all of them piled onto the tour bus and they set off but not before Billie Joe 'kissed' his wife goodbye. He also said goodbye to his kids and so did Tre and Mike. That night, after the first gig, they were all sitting in the 'dining room'/'kitchen'/'TV room/'pass out room' eating when Tre said something that really aggravated Billie and Mike. He said that Frankito had been going out with Estelle and that Ramona had been going out with Jakob and that Adrienne's unborn child is really his. Ginger fish had to restrain Billie and Aifric had to calm Mike. Tanzi didn't have any comforting skills. But she could make things considerably worse in about two sentences, so Conal threatened to kill her as she slept. Purely because Tanzi knew better than to disobey Conal when he got pissed off like that she kept her mouth shut throughout dinner. Aisling looked confused and wondered why things were all silent. She made up for it by talking to her broccoli. Liam said that that was the quietest meal he had ever had when Tanzi was in the room so Tanzi decked him with her guitar. Then she got really pissed off when Liam got his blood all over it so she kept hitting him with it until Mr. Manson grabbed her and made Tre hold her still as he treated Liam. Bad plan. Tre held Tanzi in a certain place so Tanzi kneed him in his single testicle. Tre keeled over in pain, whimpering and clutching his ball. Tanzi went to bed. Pogo tried to follow but Mike called him back down. All the way up the stairs Tanzi was thanking Mike for saving her from a scary fate.
About three weeks later Aifric had played three times with Green Day and once with Marilyn Manson because Tre had had a hangover and Ginger Fish had been so hyperactive on coffee that they couldn't play on stage for safety reasons. (Ginger Fish had been running around in circles with Liam, Aisling, Conal and Shane for several hours) Tanzi had only played once with Marilyn Manson in these three weeks because John5 hurt his finger when messing Twiggy Ramirez. Twiggy was OK though. And Aisling had done back-up vocals many, many times. Unlike her friends, she didn't sound like a crow with laryngitis when she sang.
On stage was insane. There were so many people. And then there is the fact that NO ONE looks good in a leopard skin plastic thong. (Unless, of course, you're Aisling or Aifric, who went crazy when this happened... Night after night after night... ) After each show Tre and Billie would go up to the bathroom and you would hear a lot of pain-filled yells from Billie as Tre 'cut' or rather 'pulled' off Billie's thong. Then Tre would throw it at someone, that someone usually being a member of Marilyn Manson, and then Billie would run around the bus naked trying to get his thong back from them until he started to come over to Aifric, Aisling and/or Tanzi for 'help'. Then Mr. Manson/Ginger Fish/Mike/John5 would drag/pull/yank/lure/scare him away FAST., before Aisling could agree. Thank god.
After two months of being on the road they had all become pretty used to the bus and each other. That is, until Tre gave Shane a video that he said to put on during dinner.
The video consisted of the (S)aint video, Mike, Billie and Tre doing something that can't be put on paper, Tre and Adrienne doing something very odd, Mike and his first wife doing something very gross and Billie and Adrienne doing something very sick on the same tour bus they were on. Tre looked very happy all throughout this. So did Pogo.
All this was on the TV as they 'ate' (barfed back up/stopped eating because they are busy doing something... ).
Some time later Mr. Manson, Ginger Fish, who by now hadn't had coffee for several days, and Mike gave out to Pogo and Tre and made them come up to apologise to the seven 'likkel kiddie winkels' as Tre kept putting it. The seven of them locked themselves in the bathroom. Tre called Mike or, rather, Mommy, and told him that they were all naked and copying the second part of the 'funny' movie. Mike went over and knocked on the door and asked if they were. When Aifric and Shane came out fully dressed and Mike saw the other five playing cards by the toilet, also fully dressed, he apologised for Tre's actions and for sending him up un-supervised.
The next night they didn't sleep. Twiggy Ramirez made sure of that. He insisted that they compared meanings to Marilyn Manson songs, to Green Day songs, to MCR songs, to Quentin Tarrentino movies, to the meaning of The Blair Witch Project and it just went on and on.
"Jesus Christ with a fucking pointed stick up his ass,"? Fergus said to Tanzi at four-thirty in the morning. "What the fuck are we doing still awake?"?
"If I knew I'd fuckin' tell you,"? she replied. Tre came over to them.
"So how was your day?"? Tre asked innocently. He had his hands behind his back.
"Tre, what do you have behind your back?"? asked Fergus quizzically. Tre got an evil grin on his face and Tanzi recoiled behind Fergus. Tre advanced and showed them string, ropes and leather strips. Tanzi cowered behind Fergus as he watched.
"Tre you sicko! Get away from her!"? yelled Fergus protectively. Twiggy turned around. As did John5. They ran foreword and grabbed Tre. Tre grabbed Tanzi. Tanzi stayed motionless behind Fergus, still shaking. Mike came up and grabbed Tre by the ear and Billie grabbed Tre by the underpants.
"Tre, please drop her and the ropes please,"? pleaded Conal who had just come over. Mr. Manson, however, was standing motionless about five meters away assessing the situation and drinking absinthe. EVERYONE else had crowded around this 'contest' of strength and most were trying to get Tre to release Tanzi and now also Aifric, who had come to see if she could help. She couldn't. Dang. Aisling was standing in the corner with Liam, watching and laughing her head off.
That night neither Tanzi nor Aifric slept. They just stared at the door armed, in Aifric's case, with a hurly and slither and, in Tanzi's, a knife. Aisling slept soundly. This went on for eight or nine days before Mr. Manson decided that it had gone on long enough. He managed to console Aifric but not Tanzi. Tanzi refused to sleep for three more days before she finally fell asleep in Fergus's arms at midnight. Pogo didn't stop teasing Fergus for that so Fergus threatened him with Tanzi's knife.
"Pogo I'll cut off your dick. Fuck off. I swear I fucking will,"? Fergus had said. Pogo had quickly agreed shaking his head and protecting his much-talked about balls, his 'pride and joy' as he put it. Meanwhile everyone else looked on with interest at Fergus protecting Tanzi and his dignity at the same time. Afterwards Tanzi told Aifric that she was going out with Fergus. Unfortunately Billie heard this and because Billie Joe Armstrong is Billie Joe Armstrong he spread this on to everyone. When Tanzi found out she got Mike to get Billie for her because Mike wanted to hurt someone so, it may as well be his best friend. Billie Joe couldn't walk or sit down or go to the red light district much to his dismay, especially when Tre was bragging about his 'date'.
Tim Skold offered to bring out the teens with a few other band members. Mr. Manson said that he thought that they should all go because Pogo needed natural light at least once a month.
On the way there Tre was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, hyper. This was because with breakfast, instead of jelly-shots, he had had coffee. He kept skipping backwards into traffic until Twiggy had an idea. He ran into a kid's shop and bought one of those leashes for kids and put it on Tre. He handed it to Liam.
"OK Tre, now I want you to walk calmly just a little bit ahead of the group please,"? Liam said.
"Calm isn't in his vocabulary Liam!"? Mile told him when Tre kept running on the spot directly in the path of an oncoming tram.
"Yeah, err, I knew that,"? Liam replied, exasperated with himself and Tre. "Tre, please, stop it!"?
"Only if Aifric holds the leash!"? Tre said. Liam looked pleadingly at Aifric.
"Fine, but you owe me BIG, OK?"? she said, taking the leash. As soon as she did this Tre got down on all fours and started growling and looking at Aifric suggestively. Aifric gave Mike the leash, slapped Tre and went over to talk to Tanzi. Tre looked pretty disappointed but cheered up when Billie promised him a new porno magazine.
Soon they arrived at the park and entered. Because they were Green Day and Marilyn Manson they got in free! Tre and Pogo went on the roundabout once. Then twice. Then three times. Then Mike got pissed off and took them behind the bathrooms for a 'talk'. When they came back out Tre and Pogo were very pale and Pogo had a large red mark across his face and Mike looked very pleased with himself.
"What happened?"? asked Shane.
"I'll tell you later,"? Mike said quietly, grinning.
They each went on each ride at least twice. Tanzi and Conal were by far the most adventurous when it came to going on big, unsafe and fast rides. They went on 'The Death Row' four times! On some of the other roller coasters Tre insisted on holding Tanzi's hand so tight it felt like it was bleeding. Pogo did the same to Aifric and to Mike for some reason... Aisling kept trying to jump out the coaster thingy.
A few nights later they had more alcohol than before. And so they drank!
"Biwwie stolded my dwinky-poo mommy!"? Tre cried. As the three of them, Aifric, Tanzi and Shane, sat and watched this the same thought was going through their minds. Finely Tanzi said what they were all thinking.
"Jesus, this has gone on long enough. How fucking drunk do these scutterin' gobsheens have to bleedin' be before they give it up? Talk about milkin' it for all it's bleedin' worth man!"?
"Yeah, but it looks a good crack!"? Shane said and went off to join Liam, Conal and Fergus in a drinking contest.
"Right I'm going up to bed. You comin'?"? Aifric yawned.
"No. I'm waiting for Fergus. If he doesn't come soon I'll follow you up. Goodnight."? Tanzi replied.
"Suit yourself,"? muttered Aifric and she headed off to her room.
Soon a very drunk Billie Joe came over to Tanzi and started speaking to her.
"So, you're named a-a-after a flower from California? Is the f-flower pretty as you or what?"? Billie said.
"It's black and no, it's not very pretty, why?"? she answered suspiciously but calmly.
"No reason."?
As this conversation was going on and the drinking contests were at the highest peak of excitement Tre left and said he was going to the bathroom. As he went up the stairs he could hear Governator, sung by Mike, being played really loudly. Tre laughed. He always laughed when he heard Mike/his mommy sing. He continued on ignoring the calls of 'Tre, get down here! Good PORN!!!' and went up to Aifric's room. Aifric was in the bathroom so Tre, like any good boy, sat on Aifric's bed and waited until she came back. He looked around her half of the room and compared it to Tanzi's half. He liked Aifric's half more because it had lots of pictures of him and Billie and Mike. Tanzi's half had lots of pictures of Mr. Manson and Pogo and Ginger fish and etc. It also had pictures of horses.
"Wait, they don't go there,"? Tre thought. Just then Aifric came in.
"Aaagh! Tre what the fuck are you doing here? I've just had a shower! Fuck off!"? she yelled. Mind you she was wrapped in a towel so I can understand her freaking out.
"Gee, I'm sorry. I just wanted a beddy-bies times story. Can I please have one? Please?"?
"Fine, fine. Give me a moment to get dressed would you?"?
"Sure!"? Tre replied. Then he just sat there and stared at a pretty pissed off Aifric.
"Err, Tre?"?
"Yes?"?
"LEAVE THE ROOM AS I GET DRESSED!"?
"Oh, right sorry. It's just that Billie lets me stay when he gets dressed."?
"Tre, I'm NOT Billie."?
"Oh. OK see you in a minute."?
"OK Tre."? And with that Tre left the room and Aifric got dressed. Soon she came out and went over to Tre who was now staring at a horse poster of Tanzi's that had fallen.
"Dat's a horsie isn't it?"? Tre asked.
"Yes Tre, that's a horsie but if you don't call it a HORSE in front of Tanzi she'll murder you."?
"So you don't mind? And you won't kill me?"?
"I might just kill you any way,"? Aifric said, her patience wearing extremely thin. "C'mon, I'll tell you one short story and then you fuck off away from me? Yeah, that sound OK? Good!"?
"Yeah, yeah! Tre like beddy-bies time storie!!!"?
As Aifric told Tre a good night story, the three little bad wolves meet a ninja in Saudi-Arabia, Billie Joe continued talking drunkenly to Tanzi and Tanzi continued to shuffle away from him as he had his arm around her and he had dragged her down onto the couch.
"Err, Billie?"?
"Yes Tanzi?"?
"Could you by any chance tell me why you have your arm around me?"?
"Oh, that's simple,"? Billie said. "I like you!"?
As he said this, his eyes lit up and he tried to kiss Tanzi. Tanzi screamed.
"Oh, come on. I know you like me too."? Upon hearing this Tanzi screamed louder.
"NO! No, I don't like you! Now let me go! HELP!!!"?
As she yelled this no one looked round. They were all looking at a competition that was being held between Twiggy and Mr. Manson. I believe it had something to do with length...
"Hey, lets go over and watch!"? Billie suggested.
"No! I don't want to,"? Tanzi said and she tried to pull herself away but Billie's grip was too strong. "HELP!"? Tanzi screamed as Billie dragged her by the T-shirt and arm over to the group of cheering, drunken men.
"Hey, guys! Guess who I'm going out with!"? Billie yelled. Tanzi fought harder to get away. Then Pogo whispered something in Billie's ear and Billie smiled. Pogo whispered in everyone's ear and they all turned and led Tanzi over to the couch. Just then Aifric came down followed closely by Tre and she asked what was going on. Tre, who was in on this, grabbed Aifric so she couldn't help. Conal, Shane, Liam and Fergus had been taking drugs so they were all too stoned to notice what was going on. Billie lay Tanzi down and lay on top of her. Billie was wearing a leopard-skin thong and not much else. Tanzi's mouth was duct-taped shut so she couldn't scream and give them away to the neighbours. Billie started kissing Tanzi's neck and worked his way down. Aifric yelled so loudly that she broke one of the windows. So, in a vein effort to shut her up the duct-taped her mouth shut too. Tre kept an even tighter hold on Aifric. This scream had had a good side too. It had brought Conal and Shane out of their drug-induced trance. Tanzi kept squirming as if it would help her escape whereas the others just laughed at her vain escape attempts. By now Billie had removed her T-shirt and all she was wearing black trousers and a bra. Conal and Shane started whispering, not heard by anyone else because of the noise level of their cheering.
Soon Tre, who felt bored just holding Aifric, started to kiss her neck and Aifric started screaming silently. Tre quickly removed Aifric's sweatshirt and T-shirt and lay her down on the other couch and got a VERY drunken Mike to hold her for a minute as he went upstairs to get changed and to get something... When he got downstairs he was wearing one of Billie's thongs and was holding the same ropes, strings and leather strips he had scared Tanzi with. So he ran after Aifric because Mike had Aifric go. As Tre ran he was cursing Mike with all his power for letting Aifric go. As he ran around the bus followed by a large group of people he yelled at Aifric that he was going get her and then he described what he was going to do.
Meanwhile, Conal and Shane brought round Fergus and Liam. As they whispered amongst each other. Then Pogo turned around.
"What are you whispering about?"? he enquired.
"How hot Aifric is,"? Shane replied with a grin on his face.
"I prefer Tanzi,"? Shane said, copping on. Eventually Conal figured this out after Fergus told him.
"I like them both!"? Pogo said with a sick, lop-sided smile on his face.
"Oh god he's like Tre!"? Fergus muttered. The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"Anyways, how are we going to get Billie and Tre away from the girls?"? Shane mused out loud.
"I have no idea,"? Fergus said.
"Hey I can distract them with this porn movie Tre gave me!"? said Shane.
"Eeeew, you kept that?!?"? Conal said, grossed out.
"What its handy for mastur-"
Shane was cut short by Liam's prolonged cough. Shane went very red.
"Billie told me to!"? was all he said. Fergus and Conal shuddered. So they went on and put on the video. Unbelievably it worked. All of the guys went and crowded around the TV. Fergus untied Tanzi and kissed her on the cheek because she had passed out from fear. When Shane and Liam untied Aifric she threw her arms around them in relief. They quickly ran upstairs and locked them selves in the girl's room and didn't come out for several days. Mr. Manson would slip pizza under the door and water bottles would be thrown in through the window but that was it.
"Me thinks that Tanzi and Aifric are traumatised after Billie and Tre tried to rape them, yes?"? Shane said casually when they were eating dinner. Aifric and Tanzi got sick in the corner. Then Liam slapped Shane hard across the back of his head.
"WHAT?!?"? Shane enquired, confused. Fergus just groaned.
"Why did Aifric have to be friends with such stupid people?"? Fergus yelled at no one in particular.
"Yeah, why did she befriend such idiots?"? Liam said. Fergus groaned again.
Their first stop was California to get stuff at the band member's houses. On the way there Tre and Pogo didn't shut up giggling and staring at Tanzi or Aifric or Aisling and whispering to one another. In the end Mike showed Tanzi, Aisling and Aifric to the room they had to share on the tour bus. Tre kept following them until Mike yelled at him. Aifric asked why Mike never hit Tre. Mike said it was because Tre was his 'son'. Tanzi got worried.
Their room was 'pretty fuckin' big' as Aifric put it. Mike explained that they could put up whatever posters they wanted up and if/and/or when things got gross/nasty/out of hand/sickening/disturbing we had to come up here immediately or else we stood a chance to get our innocence taken away prematurely.
"What innocence?"? Tanzi asked innocently.
Mike looked away in the other direction and blushed slightly and turned back over to them and continued to say that he would leave to let them get aquatinted and that he would be showing the boys to their room and that we couldn't go ANYWHERE their room after dark.

"Fine, fine. Give me a moment to get dressed would you?"?
"Sure!"? Tre replied. Then he just sat there and stared at a pretty pissed off Aifric.
"Err, Tre?"?
"Yes?"?
"LEAVE THE ROOM AS I GET DRESSED!"?
"Oh, right sorry. It's just that Billie lets me stay when he gets dressed."?
"Tre, I'm NOT Billie."?
"Oh. OK see you in a minute."?
"OK Tre."? And with that Tre left the room and Aifric got dressed. Soon she came out and went over to Tre who was now staring at a horse poster of Tanzi's that had fallen.
"Dat's a horsie isn't it?"? Tre asked.
"Yes Tre, that's a horsie but if you don't call it a HORSE in front of Tanzi she'll murder you."?
"So you don't mind? And you won't kill me?"?
"I might just kill you any way,"? Aifric said, her patience wearing extremely thin. "C'mon, I'll tell you one short story and then you fuck off away from me? Yeah, that sound OK? Good!"?
"Yeah, yeah! Tre like beddy-bies time storie!!!"?
As Aifric told Tre a good night story, the three little bad wolves meet a ninja in Saudi-Arabia, Billie Joe continued talking drunkenly to Tanzi and Tanzi continued to shuffle away from him as he had his arm around her and he had dragged her down onto the couch.
"Err, Billie?"?
"Yes Tanzi?"?
"Could you by any chance tell me why you have your arm around me?"?
"Oh, that's simple,"? Billie said. "I like you!"?
As he said this, his eyes lit up and he tried to kiss Tanzi. Tanzi screamed.
"Oh, come on. I know you like me too."? Upon hearing this Tanzi screamed louder.
"NO! No, I don't like you! Now let me go! HELP!!!"?
As she yelled this no one looked round. They were all looking at a competition that was being held between Twiggy and Mr. Manson. I believe it had something to do with length...
"Hey, lets go over and watch!"? Billie suggested.
"No! I don't want to,"? Tanzi said and she tried to pull herself away but Billie's grip was too strong. "HELP!"? Tanzi screamed as Billie dragged her by the T-shirt and arm over to the group of cheering, drunken men.
"Hey, guys! Guess who I'm going out with!"? Billie yelled. Tanzi fought harder to get away. Then Pogo whispered something in Billie's ear and Billie smiled. Pogo whispered in everyone's ear and they all turned and led Tanzi over to the couch. Just then Aifric came down followed closely by Tre and she asked what was going on. Tre, who was in on this, grabbed Aifric so she couldn't help. Conal, Shane, Liam and Fergus had been taking drugs so they were all too stoned to notice what was going on. Billie lay Tanzi down and lay on top of her. Billie was wearing a leopard-skin thong and not much else. Tanzi's mouth was duct-taped shut so she couldn't scream and give them away to the neighbours. Billie started kissing Tanzi's neck and worked his way down. Aifric yelled so loudly that she broke one of the windows. So, in a vein effort to shut her up the duct-taped her mouth shut too. Tre kept an even tighter hold on Aifric. This scream had had a good side too. It had brought Conal and Shane out of their drug-induced trance. Tanzi kept squirming as if it would help her escape whereas the others just laughed at her vain escape attempts. By now Billie had removed her T-shirt and all she was wearing black trousers and a bra. Conal and Shane started whispering, not heard by anyone else because of the noise level of their cheering.
Soon Tre, who felt bored just holding Aifric, started to kiss her neck and Aifric started screaming silently. Tre quickly removed Aifric's sweatshirt and T-shirt and lay her down on the other couch and got a VERY drunken Mike to hold her for a minute as he went upstairs to get changed and to get something... When he got downstairs he was wearing one of Billie's thongs and was holding the same ropes, strings and leather strips he had scared Tanzi with. So he ran after Aifric because Mike had Aifric go. As Tre ran he was cursing Mike with all his power for letting Aifric go. As he ran around the bus followed by a large group of people he yelled at Aifric that he was going get her and then he described what he was going to do.
Meanwhile, Conal and Shane brought round Fergus and Liam. As they whispered amongst each other. Then Pogo turned around.
"What are you whispering about?"? he enquired.
"How hot Aifric is,"? Shane replied with a grin on his face.
"I prefer Tanzi,"? Shane said, copping on. Eventually Conal figured this out after Fergus told him.
"I like them both!"? Pogo said with a sick, lop-sided smile on his face.
"Oh god he's like Tre!"? Fergus muttered. The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"Anyways, how are we going to get Billie and Tre away from the girls?"? Shane mused out loud.
"I have no idea,"? Fergus said.
"Hey I can distract them with this porn movie Tre gave me!"? said Shane.
"Eeeew, you kept that?!?"? Conal said, grossed out.
"What its handy for mastur-"
Shane was cut short by Liam's prolonged cough. Shane went very red.
"Billie told me to!"? was all he said. Fergus and Conal shuddered. So they went on and put on the video. Unbelievably it worked. All of the guys went and crowded around the TV. Fergus untied Tanzi and kissed her on the cheek because she had passed out from fear. When Shane and Liam untied Aifric she threw her arms around them in relief. They quickly ran upstairs and locked them selves in the girl's room and didn't come out for several days. Mr. Manson would slip pizza under the door and water bottles would be thrown in through the window but that was it.
"Me thinks that Tanzi and Aifric are traumatised after Billie and Tre tried to rape them, yes?"? Shane said casually when they were eating dinner. Aifric and Tanzi got sick in the corner. Then Liam slapped Shane hard across the back of his head.
"WHAT?!?"? Shane enquired, confused. Fergus just groaned.
"Why did Aifric have to be friends with such stupid people?"? Fergus yelled at no one in particular.
"Yeah, why did she befriend such idiots?"? Liam said. Fergus groaned again.
