***Ok, if you are a strong Clint fan, a strong Scott fan or a strong Melissa fan (Hehe! Hey, I have fans too! Right?) PLEASE DO NOT READ AFTER THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!***
~*~*~ 2 months later… ~*~*~
“Finally! No more school!” Melissa cried, running out of the school.
“Next stop, eleventh grade!” Victor said, running after her.
“Let’s go for some ice cream!” said Dani.
“Yeah, let’s go!” cried Monica.
“I can’t believe that school is over!” said their friend, Sarah.
“Believe it!” Melissa said, taking both of Sarah’s hands and swinging her around.
“I swear, I need to hang out with more guys.” Victor said. He looked at Sarah, Melissa and Dani. “Why can’t you girls get some boyfriends?” he asked.
Melissa and Dani put their hands on their hips. “We DO have boyfriends! They’re on tour!” Melissa said hotly.
“They’re coming back soon.” Added Dani.
“Oh yeah, they’re the Moffatts, right?” asked Victor sarcastically.
“Screw you.” Melissa said with a smile.
“I don’t have a boyfriend, because there are no good guys around.” Said Sarah.
“Ouch, I’m hurt!” said Victor.
“You should be!” Sarah said with a laugh. She and Melissa exchanged a high five.
“Good one, Sarah!” said Melissa.
“I’ll have a double fudge sundae with nuts, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry please.”
“Victor, you are such a pig!” Monica said, making a face.
“You just don’t eat.” Victor said to his girlfriend.
“Well, I do eat, but I don’t overload with the junk food!”
“You’re so cute.” Victor said.
“No, you’re cuter!” cooed Monica.
“Please,” Melissa said behind her chocolate milkshake, “I’m gonna hurl.”
“I’m gonna hurl with you.” Said Dani.
“Me too!” added Sarah.
“Well, then, leave!” said Victor jokingly.
“Hang on.” Melissa took the last slurp with her straw. “Ok, let’s go.”
Melissa, Dani and Sarah walked out of the Ice Cream parlor and into the street.
“I can’t wait till they come tomorrow.” Said Dani.
“Yeah, I miss Dave so much.” Said Melissa.
“I can’t wait to meet them!” said Sarah. “What do they look like again?”
Sarah is not a music fan. She knows that The Moffatts are a band, but she doesn’t know what they look like.
“Well,” Melissa began, but a basketball cut her off. Melissa fell to the floor.
“WHO THE **** THREW THAT?” Dani hollered. Two arms wrapped around her waist. “Touch me, and I’ll hurt you!” Dani threatened.
Sarah looked down at Melissa. She was slowly getting off of the floor. Melissa’s eyes focused. She saw a boy with messy brown hair… “Dave!” she screamed, throwing her arms around his neck.
Dani turned around. “Bob!” she screamed and they hugged.
Sarah looked at the boys. “Let me take wild guess. You guys are the Moffatts.”
“The ones and only.” Said Clint.
“I’m Scott.” Scott said, offering his hand to Sarah, who took it and gave it a firm shake.
“Sarah.” She said.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Clint.” Said Clint.
“I’m Bob, and this is Dave.” Said Bob.
“Hey.” Sarah said.
Then suddenly, the sound of the gunshot fired through the air.
“Oh my god!” Melissa gasped. She grabbed for Dave. He hugged her.
Then they heard a scream. Monica came running out of the Ice Cream parlor, her hands covered with blood.
“Monica! What’s wrong?” Clint ran to her.
“V—Victor.” Monica gasped. “He’s…DEAD!”
~*~*~
“Isn’t it funny
How time seems to slip away
So fast.
One minute you’re happy
The other you’re sad.
But if you give me one more chance
To show my love for you is true
I’ll stand by your side
Your hole life through…
If life is so short
Why won’t you let me love you
Before we run out of time
If love is so strong
Why won’t you take the chance
Before our time has gone
If life is so short…
If life is so short…”
‘If life is so short’ by The Moffatts
~*~*~
“Oh my god!” The rest of them gasped.
“He got shot. Jody shot him.”
Everyone knew that Jody had her eye on Victor since grade 6.
“Why the hell did she do that for?” cried Melissa.
“Because, if I can’t get him, Monica can’t get him either.” Said a voice.
“Jody, you’re the dumbest, sickest girl I’ve ever met.” Dani spat.
Jody laughed. It was evil. She took something out of her pocket. Clint gasped. In Jody’s hand... was a gun, and it was pointing STRAIGHT at Monica. Monica’s back was facing Jody. In fact, Clint was the only one who saw the gun.
“Monica!” Clint screamed. He ran to Monica and felt a sharp pain in his back as the gun fired.
“Clint!” screamed Monica as he fell to the floor.
Scott and Melissa lunged for Jody. Two more shots fired. Melissa and Scott fell to the ground. Bob did a karate kick at the gun and it flew out of Jody’s hand. Bob grabbed Jody while Dani dashed to the gun. Sarah started to cry. Dave ran to the ambulance when he saw them by the ice cream parlor. The ambulance quickly took Melissa, Scott and Clint to the hospital. The police took Jody to the station. She was sent to jail for life for killing and attempting to kill.
Dave, Bob, Dani, Monica and Sarah started to cry hysterically. They couldn’t believe what happened.
“Please let them be ok.” Dave prayed.
~*~*~
“I’m sorry, but you can’t see them yet, unless you’re family.” The Doctor said.
“We’re family.” Pleaded Dave and Bob. “And we’re their girlfriends and boyfriends!”
The doctor sighed. “Ok, but please be quiet.”
They walked into Scott and Melissa’s room. Melissa was shot in the upper arm and Scott was shot in the thigh. When they walked into the room, Melissa was at the edge of Scott’s bed, both crying softly.
“Melissa? Scott?” Asked Dave.
Melissa turned around. “Dave.” She whispered. “I’m so scared.”
Dave walked up to her and kissed her softly on the lips.
Sarah, Bob, Dani and Monica said a quick hello to Melissa (they don’t want to disturb ‘the moment’ between her and Dave) and they walked to Scott.
“How are you doing?” asked Sarah.
“I’m doing fine. The doctor said that I’ll be able to walk soon.”
“That’s great!” said Bob.
“How’s Clint?” asked Scott.
“We don’t know.” Said Monica quietly. “They won’t let us see him!”
“That’s not fair!” cried Scott.
“We know.” Said Dani. “Monica…Monica?”
Monica wasn’t there.
~*~*~
“It’s been awhile,
How have you been doing?
Do you ever think about me and you?
And all the things we used to do,
The times that we shared.
Well I’ve been looking for love and affection.
It’s brought me back in your direction.
Even though we’ve been apart.
You’re part of my soul…”
‘And I’ By Boyzone
~*~*~
Monica looked at the door. ‘MOFFATT’. ‘Well, this is it. This is Clint’s room. I have to see him.’ She pushed open the door and there lay Clint. His eyes closed, and his body attached to tubes and machinery.
Monica walked into the room, and kneeled down beside him. What should she do? She’s been trying forever to forget about him, and there she was, right beside him. She knows that she loves him, and trying to forget about it is tearin’ up her heart. (Hehe!) “Clint? Can you hear me? You’ve got to get better…because…I love you.”
~*~*~
“…I love you…”
‘What the heck? Who said that? Probably Dave or someone.’ Thought Clint. ‘I love Monica with all my heart, but she doesn’t love me. This is total pain for me. It’s pain in my heart.’
“…I love you…”
‘Will you stop that? Jeez! It’s really bugging me. Here I am, lying in a bed, my back killing me, trying not to love Monica, and there’s some annoying bastard here, saying the damn L-word over and over again! Stop it Dammit!’ thought Clint.
“…I love you…”
‘Stop saying that!’ Clint screamed in his head.
“…I love you…”
‘God, I’m gonna tell him off!’ Clint slowly opened his eyes.
“Oh my god! Doctor! He’s awake!” a voice screamed. “I love you.”
“Will you shut up?!” Clint said groggily.
“Clint? It’s Monica.”
‘Monica? Oh my god!’ Clint thought.
“Monica? Did you say that you loved me?” Clint asked.
“I love you Clint.” Monica said with a smile.
“I love you too.” Clint replied. Their faces got closer and closer…they kissed.
Dani and Bob smiled at each other at the door. They saw the whole thing between Clint and Monica. They were happy that they’re finally together. Clint and Monica were made for each other.
~*~*~
Dave and Bob walked out of the hospital, and suddenly got mobbed by 20 reporters.
“Is it true that 2 of your brothers are in the hospital?” one reporter asked.
“How are you gonna continue your music career?” asked another.
“When are they coming out of the hospital?”
“Is it true Dave, that your girlfriend was shot too, trying to save Clint?”
“Is your girlfriend ok?”
“What do you think of the situation?”
“Any comments?”
“Look, we’re not in the mood to talk, ok?” cried Bob.
“Leave us alone!” yelled Dave.
~*~*~
Sarah and Scott were alone in the room when Dave took Melissa for a walk.
“I was so scared.” Sarah said softly.
“Yeah, so was I. When I saw Clint fall, I was like, no, he can’t die!” Scott said. “So,” he said, changing the subject, “how old are you?”
“I’m 15.” Replied Sarah. “I came to school as a new student and became immediate friends with Monica, Melissa, Dani and Victor. I can’t believe that he’s gone. All because of Jody.”
“I can’t believe it either.”
Scott leaned over and kissed Sarah softly.
“What was that for?” Sarah asked.
“For being there for me.”
“Um, Scott, I know I just met you, but I just wanted to say that you’re really hot, and I really, really like you.”
“Sarah, I think its love at first sight.” Scott said, taking her hand. “I think I love you.”
~*~*~
“Doctor, how long do you think Clint has to stay in here?” asked Sheila.
“He can walk already, so, probably 2 or three more days.” The doctor replied. “His friends are really supporting him.”
“Yeah. He likes Monica very much.”
“Monica is the one who was with him when he woke up, am I correct?”
“Yes. They’ve known each other since… maybe third grade or so.”
“Oh wow. What about the other girls?”
“Well, I don’t know about Sarah, but Dave, Melissa, Bob and Dani had been friends ever since kindergarten. They’re girlfriends and boyfriends.” Sheila added.
“Well they make a lovely couple.” The doctor said with a smile.
~*~*~
“Whoo hoo! We’re free!” Scott and Clint shouted.
The rest of them laughed. Melissa, Scott and Clint were finally allowed to go home. Dave and Melissa hugged each other tightly. They all were very happy. (Ok, I know, that’s a bit corny!) The big problem is that the Moffatts will be going on tour in two days.
Monica walked slowly out of the hospital. She couldn’t believe that Victor, her long time boyfriend was killed. She knows that it’s gonna take her a while to recover, but expressing her feelings to Clint really broke the ice between them.
Clint knows that he should be gentle to Monica. Monica was a sweet girl and she is in a state that everyone should be considerate.
“It’s not fair that we’re gonna be on tour so soon! We just got out of the hospital!” cried Scott.
“We’re gonna miss you so much!” Melissa hugged Dave.
They walked to the Moffatt house.
“Hey here’s a note.” Dave said when they walked into the living room.
Boys,
We’re sorry that we couldn’t pick you up, but we’re planning a surprise for you. We’ll be back soon!
Love,
Frank and Sheila
“A surprise?” asked Dave.
“I love surprises!” said Dani, clapping her hands.
Just then, Frank and Sheila walked into the house a big smile on their face.
“Girls, I have a big surprise for you!” Sheila cried.
“What is it Sheila?” asked the boys.
“Well,” began Frank, “you girls are going on tour with us! Your mothers understood that for the past month, it was devastating for you, and allowed you to go on tour with the boys, and have a tutor like them!”
“Oh my god!” cried Melissa.
“Thank you!” the girls cried, giving Sheila and Frank a big hug.
“That’s great Dad!” cried Scott.
“Anything to make our boys happy.” Said Frank.
“Thanks a lot!” said Dave.
“You’re welcome.” Sheila smiled, ruffling Dave’s hair.
“Aww!” Melissa said. Dave blushed.
“Oh yeah, we’re leaving tomorrow, not the day after. We want to do some sight seeing before the concert.” Said Frank.
“Tomorrow?” the girls asked.
“We have to pack!” Melissa said. They ran out the door.
“Bye Trent!” Melissa said, giving his older brother a hug.
“Bye Mel, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” Trent said with a laugh.
“Have fun in university!” said Melissa, looking up to her brother. Trent was 2 years older than she was and he stood 6’2”.
“I will!”
Melissa waved to her parents and ran to Dave, who was standing in the driveway. The boys were picking the girls up and walking them to the house.
“Dave, take care of my little sister!” Trent yelled.
“I will!” Dave took Melissa’s bag and took her hand.
Melissa waved at to her family.
“Be careful!” yelled her mom.
“I will!”
“Bye Mom! Bye Becky!” Monica yelled. She ran to Clint. Monica, Dani and Sarah’s families aren’t as protective as Melissa’s family.
“We’re here!” Dave yelled as he and Melissa walked into his house. It was 7:00 in the morning, and everyone was surprised that Scott was so energized. Clint was falling asleep on the stairs.
“Ok then! Let’s go!” Scott ran into one of the vans parked outside their house, dragging Sarah after him.
“Scott why are you in such a hurry?” cried Sarah.
Scott dragged Sarah to the back of the van and started to kiss her.
“Scott!” Sarah giggled.
Suddenly, they heard a tapping noise. Scott and Sarah stopped and peeked through the window. Bob and Dani were looking at them!
They laughed and started to kiss again.
Dave and Melissa walked to their van. Clint and Monica followed them. They saw Scott and Sarah totally making out by the van, and started to laugh. Clint sleepily went into the van and fell asleep on Monica’s shoulder.
Melissa looked at Dave. He was staring at her intensively.
“Dave?” Melissa asked softly. “What are you doing? What’s wrong?”
“I can’t believe that you’re gonna be with me.”
“I can’t believe it either.” Melissa leaned against his chest and closed her eyes. Dave wrapped both arms around her. Melissa could hear Dave’s heart beating.
The vans drove the 10 of them to the airport. They’re gonna be going on tour in Europe.
“Where are we going first?” asked Scott when the stewardess passed out some snacks.
“We’re going to Dublin.” Frank replied.
“Cool! We’re going to Scotland!” Scott said happily. Sarah laughed.
“You are so stupid!” said Bob. “Dublin is in England!”
Melissa choked on her apple juice. She started to laugh. The rest of the people covered their mouths to hold their laughter.
“Scotland!” yelled Scott.
“England!” Bob yelled back.
“IRELAND!” everyone else yelled. Scott and bob turned bright red!
“How long are we staying in Dublin?” asked Clint.
“About a week or so.” Replied Frank.
“Cool.”
“Now, we’re gonna watch our movie…TITANIC!” said the stewardess.
Everyone groaned.
So, for the whole movie, everyone fell asleep, except for Dani, who watched the whole thing.
~*~*~
“Whoa, check out her hair!” cried Monica. She pointed to a girl with pink and blue hair that’s spiked up into a Mohawk.
“What a freak!” added Scott.
“Don’t judge the book by the cover.” Says Bob. “She could be the coolest girl in the world.”
“Don’t judge this book!” Melissa cried. “That’s one of my favorite country songs by you!”
“That’s right!” Dave grinned.
~*~*~
(I’m using this song because of Bob Moffatt. Kick ass solo, Bob! It was great!)
“If they only knew how I felt inside
Maybe they’d understand
If they only knew what I could do
Maybe they’d understand
Just give me a chance and I’ll prove it to you
There’s so much I can do
Don’t judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you
We’ve all got our talents
They’re not all the same
I wish they’d understand
If they’d look past this cover, my story begin
Maybe they’d understand
Just give me a chance and I’ll prove it to you
There’s so much I can do
Don’t judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you
It’s not the clothes I wear
Or the color of my hair
I’ve got the will and I’ve got the heart
I just wish someone would care
Just give me a chance and I’ll prove it to you
There’s so much I can do
Don’t judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you
Don’t judge this book by its cover
I just look different than you.”
‘Don’t judge this book’ by The Moffatts
~*~*~
The years passed…
“Mr. Moffatt. Say hi to your new daughter.”
Twenty-four-year old Clint Moffatt looked down at the baby in his arms. “She’s beautiful. Just like her mother.” He said to Monica. The baby has dark brown hair, and really long curly lashes.
“Thank you Clint.” Monica whispered. “For making me a mommy.”
“Thank you,” Clint said to Monica, “for making me a daddy.”
~*~*~ 3 years later… ~*~*~
“Hi Kayla.” Said Dave. “Say hi to your Uncle Dave!”
“Hi Uncle Davey!” Kayla walked to him. She was 3 years old.
Dave was carrying a little baby in his arms. “Kay, this is your cousin, Kavana.”
“She’s really pretty.” Kayla said.
“Yes,” said Dave, “she really is.”
~*~*~ 3 years later… ~*~*~
“Happy 2nd birthday, Jeffrey!”
Jeff looked at the people around him. They’re his family. He clapped his little palms together happily. He looked around his family again. His parents, Bob and Dani, his Uncle Clint and Aunt Monica and their kids, 8 year old Kayla, 3 year old Victor, and 2 year old Alex his Uncle Dave and Aunt Melissa, and their kids, 5 year old Kavana and 4 year old Andrew. He looked at his Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah. They were holding one year old Stephanie.
“Happy birthday to me.” Jeff said softly.
~*~*~ 45 years later… ~*~*~
“I can’t believe that they’re gone.” Kavana said sadly.
“What happened?” asked Melanie, her daughter.
“Grandpas and Grandmas Dave, Melissa, Clint, Monica, Bob, Dani, Scott and Sarah…” Kavana paused. “They’ve died. They were coming here from France on vacation, and their plane crashed. Everyone on the plane were killed.”
“I can’t believe it.” Said Justin, Kavana’s husband.
“This is awful.” Said Kayla.
“You know what we have to do?” asked Melanie. “We have to be a band, just like Dave, Bob, Scott and Clint. It’ll be me, David (Dave and Melissa’s grandchildren), Robert, Danielle (Bob and Dani’s grandchildren), Mony, Clinton, Hanna, Tom (Clint and Monica’s grandchildren), and Scott (Scott and Sarah’s grandchild). We’ll call ourselves…MOFFATTS MEMORY!” Melanie said excitedly. “It’ll be the nine of us and we’ll sing their songs!”
~*~*~ Five years later… ~*~*~
“Mom! Look! It’s Moffatts Memory! Dave, Clint, Scott and Bobby are so cute!” cried a girl, as they watched the nine stars sing and dance.
