The Devil Wants Peace had just finished recording their latest album, their self-titled album. Lenny, their manager, made a tour schedule for them. John, Allen, Peter, and Stan were all excited about their upcoming tour. The পরবর্তি day, they all got ready for their flight to New York, the first stop of their tour. Although John feared heights, he was okay with flying. Usually, someone else would sit দ্বারা the window. Once they arrived in New York, they decided to go to their hotel. John said, "Today has been a long day, and I think it's best to rest for tomorrow." Allen said, "It's especially essential for you. I know আপনি had been sick recently." John said, "It was only a cold, Allen." Stan said, "Yes, but it's clear that you're still feeling some of the effects of it." John coughed into his sleeve. He said, "You're right." Peter asked, "Do আপনি think you'll be able to perform tomorrow?" John said, "I'm sure I will. I haven't been coughing that much. Besides, I've packed plenty of cough drops just in case." The পরবর্তি morning, John, Allen, Peter, and Stan ate breakfast. John was not coughing at all. They later rehearsed. "Jolly good, John!" Peter exclaimed. "Your cough is gone." John said, "I knew it would be." That night, the group gave an astounding performance. After their concert, the group retired to their hotel rooms, eager to conclude their tour the পরবর্তি day.

80smusiclover1 This is looking really good so far. I'm eager to read what happens next.

BingoPB I am, too. I'm glad that John was well enough to perform after being sick.

Rubyrings I'm glad about that too. I was worried for a second that it would be like that time the Beatles had to go on tour without Ringo - but then I thought, no, you wouldn't do that to The Devil Wants Peace.

Roldan13 I'm really glad that John was able to perform. He's the lead singer, after all.

RetroRock64 That's right. Of course, each member of the band is important.

Peaceandlove67 That's right. Of course, The Devil Wants Peace would never go on tour without one of their members. In a fan fiction I did a while back, the rest of The Devil Wants Peace wouldn't even go to the recording studio without John.

He said, "John, I heard আপনি were in a car accident a few weeks ago. Are আপনি okay?" John said, "I'm fine now, Uncle Bob. It's all thanks to my band mates. I would have died out there if not for them." Uncle Bob asked, "How did আপনি guys find him?" Allen said, "When he didn't প্রদর্শনী up to the recording studio and didn't answer the phone, we went to his কেবিন to see if he was okay. He wasn't there." Peter said, "That's right. As we...

Surviving Against the Odds
That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn আপনি that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are আপনি talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants আপনি dead. আপনি need your mates now আরো than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night. I heard him asking if I was all right, but I was fixated on my dream and couldn't respond. "John!" He shouted. I responded with "Huh?" He said, "I said, 'Are আপনি all right?'" I said, "Yeah. I'm just fine. Why?" But...

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first প্রশ্ন and উত্তর interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do আপনি think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?"

On the Road
After the release of our debut album, In a Flash, we decided to start touring. We got Uncle Bob's friend, Lenny, to be our manager. When we did our first live show, it was exhilarating. I turned out to be the only one who ever performed in front of an audience, (if my mean school mates at the park in Devil's Garden counted). I wasn't sure who was আরো nervous, Peter অথবা Stan. I told them, "If আপনি want my advice, when আপনি sing, focus on the people in the back. It should radiate from them to the people in the front row. If everybody's looking at আপনি with a bored expression, either...

Starting Out
After we formed our band, we decided on what to name the band. We finally settled on The Devil Wants Peace. It was ironic and shouted out to rock haters. We then decided to start recording our first album. Uncle Bob's friend, Ben, agreed to be our producer. After the recording sessions, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Stan asked, "John, are আপনি all right?" I said, "I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You look like you're in pain." I said, "Yeah, I'm having a little pain in my right side. I guess it's where I fell down the stairs this morning." He said, "Look,...

Ready to Rock
One day, I was strumming on my guitar. The phone rang. Uncle Bob answered it. He then said, "John, it's for you." I answered the phone. It was Peter. He asked, "Can আপনি and Allen come over?" I said, "I can. I don't know about Allen." Peter said, "If আপনি can, bring your guitars. I have a surprise for you." I said, "Okay." I went over to Allen's, and he was able to come. Allen asked, "What's the occasion?" I said, "Peter ব্যক্ত that he had a surprise for us." Allen said, "I like surprises." We arrived at Peter's, and there was another guy with him.

Graduation
The পরবর্তি day, I graduated from high school. Before the ceremony, I talked with Allen, Peter, and Liz. I asked, "Are আপনি all ready?" They all said, "Yes." Peter asked, "Are আপনি ready?" I said, "Ready as I'll ever be!" During the ceremony, we all made animal noises, even though we were told not to. Maybe it was immature, but Mr. Ross was just asking for it when he said, "Don't make animal noises during graduation." He should have known that's what everyone would do. During his speech, he said, "You've been waiting for this for the past seventeen years, অথবা eighteen for some of you."...

Sometimes আপনি Have to Stand Up to Authority
One day, I was sitting in a tree. I just felt like doing it for some reason. A few মিনিট later, Allen and Peter came by. The original reason for them coming was so that Peter could প্রদর্শনী me his skills on the bass. When he saw me in the tree, he asked, "What are আপনি doing, mate?" I said, "Sitting in a tree." Allen asked, "Why are আপনি sitting in a tree?" I said, "I just felt like it." I admit that it was quite fun, at least until a bird pooped on me. I said, "Okay, that's disgusting. I'm coming down now." Unfortunately, I slipped coming down. Allen...

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a দুধ carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

The পরবর্তি day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what আপনি have অথবা don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought আপনি a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the রাস্তা with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what আপনি need, a way to relax. Have আপনি ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

One day, I went to the local park, and I brought my গিটার with me. I sang "Here Comes the Sun" দ্বারা the Beatles. Then, somebody came up to me and started গান গাওয়া along. He had long hair like me, but he had a beard, and his hair was darker than mine. He appeared to be around my age, sixteen অথবা so. When I finished the song, I said, "You're a good singer." He said, "Thank you. You're quite good yourself." I said, "Thanks." He asked, "Did I disturb you?" I said, "Oh, no, no, no! I প্রণয় it when people sing along." He smiled. After a moment of silence, he said,...

I was a little nervous about my new school mates, fearing that I wouldn't be accepted, প্রদত্ত my treatment in Devil's Garden. The kids of Redshore were friendly to me, অথবা so it seemed. At the end of the day, some of them said, "Hey, John, slide down the rails of the staircase." I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and I initially refused. One of them said, "Come on! It'll make আপনি cool." Of course, I wanted to be cool, I mean, who wouldn't? I attempted it, but I unfortunately slipped off...
