Crazy Little Thing Call Love
It was a packed night tonight. People of ages young and ready to party were waiting outside to get into the Roxbury while inside people were dancing the night away with the DJ performing excellent remixes. Ted was on fire behind the bar as he was shaking drinks on one hand and pour drinks with the other hand. People behind the bar were cheering for Ted as he continued to do his job. Marilyn went up to Ted and yells, "got 4 orders of 'The Rave ' dude!" "You got it Marilyn," yells Ted as he quickly begins to make 4 drinks of 'The Rave.' Under a minute, he gave Marilyn 4 drinks on the tray as she heads back to a table to give the customers their drinks. While Ted was slamming at the bar, Nancy came up to Ted and said in his ear, "Finish up the last drink and go take a break!" She pats his back as Ted manage to finish the last drink and gives it to the customer. Ted switched with Nancy as she took over Ted's spot while he goes on break. As he heads backstage, avoiding the crowd, he accidentally bumps into a person and immediately says, "Oh bogus! I'm totally sorry dude! I didn't mean to bump into you!" The teen boy that was like Ted's age looks at him and said, "It's fine dude! Don't worry about it! I understand your rush!" Ted smiled at the teen boy. His style was something he has never seen before. The teen boy was wearing a grey crop top and ripped torn jeans with a purple sweater wrapped around his waist. Under the crop top showed a bit of his abs and a 'V' mark. His hair was curly blonde and his eyes were very blue with a hint of grey to shine. The boy smiled and said, "I'm Bill by the way. Bill S. Preston Esquire." "I'm Ted. Ted Theodore Logan," respond Ted, "are you performing?" "Yea," answered Bill, "I'm in the band call the Wyld Stallyns. I play the guitar, Nick plays the bass, Jessie plays the drums and Joanna is the singer." "Woah," said Ted, "I wish you the best of luck on your performance tonight!" "Thanks Ted," said Bill with a smile. The DJ finished playing the last song as the crowd cheered and yell. "Alright ladies and gentlemen," said the DJ, "now we all know why we're here. Are you ready to ROCK?!" The crowd cheered as the DJ said, "let me say it again. ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!" The crowd went wild. Bill and Ted looked behind the stage as Bill said, "well, this is it dude." "Good luck Bill," said Ted. Bill nods as he calls out Nick, Jessie and Leslie to get ready. The DJ said, "Alright. Now that's what I'm talking about. Give it up for the WYLD STALLYNS!" Bill, Nick, Jessie and Joanna head up to the stage as everyone went crazy. The band got in position with their instruments as Jessie taps the drumsticks 4 times and everyone rocked out. The crowd went crazy and rock their heads off with the rhythm. While Ted was on his break, he looks at the band performing on stage and looks at the spotlight shining on Bill while he began to do his guitar solo. Ted's eyes slowly widen to see the teen with the crop top rocking out with his guitar. He has never seen something like it before. What is it that cause Ted to get his attention? Was it his looks? Was it his personality? Was it the way he plays the guitar? Was it his eyes? What is it that made Ted feel warm all inside and made his heart skip a beat? Everything felt quiet all of a sudden. It seems like time just stopped for a moment. Ted took a deep breath and spoke to himself, "I'm in love dude." He looks at his watch and forgot his break was over 5 minutes ago. "Dammit," muttered Ted as he heads out of the break room and back to the bar, completely losing focus. He comes back to reality and starts making drinks, with the help of Nancy. 5 hours later, the Roxbury bar began to close its doors as everyone left, including some of the staff. It was another crazy, yet excellent night. Ted was cleaning the counter with a rag and a spray as Marilyn walked up to Ted and say, "I must say, you did a most excellent job. You were really slamming the bar." Ted chuckled and said, "Well, it is my job after all but I have to thank Nancy for backing me up." Marilyn nods her head in agreement and said, "Hey I know you just cleaned up but the band wants drinks." "Oh sure," said Ted, "I don't mind making drinks for the band." "Ok because I need a bottle of Coors beer, 2 shots of Don Julio Tequila, a Cosmo, and the Rave," said Marilyn. Ted nods his head and grabs the cups. He pulls out two small shot glass, a cocktail glass and a glass cup as he grabs the bottle of liquors to make the drink. He starts by pouring Don Julio tequila on the two shot glasses, starts making a Cosmo on one hand and makes the Rave drink on his other hand. He starts to pour the Cosmo and Rave in different glasses and pulls out a bottle of beer out of the fridge. He placed the drinks on the tray with a smile, "alright Marilyn. You're good to go." Marilyn smiled and grabs the tray of drinks and takes it backstage. Ted looks at Marilyn walking away and starts washing the dirty cups. As Marilyn heads backstage, she looks at Nick, Jessie, Joanna and Bill chatting and laughing. "Oh great," said Nick, "The drinks are here." Marilyn smiled and placed the drinks on the table as the four friends grab their drinks and cheered. Marilyn walked away until Jessie said, "hey babe. Where are you going? Join us." Marilyn looks back and said, "sorry but I don't drink while I'm on the job." Jessie took his shot of tequila and walks up to Marilyn, looking at her straight into the eyes. "You know, I'm into babes who work at bars. They know how to flirt." As he grabs her by the waist and placed his hands on her ass, Marilyn immediately smacked Jessie's face with the tray and runs away. Jessie falls to the ground once he was smacked as the Nick, Joanna and Bill runs towards him. "Dude," said Nick, "she totally bailed you out." Jessie glared at Nick and said, "If you don't shut your mouth, I will shut it for you." Jessie wipes his mouth to see blood coming out and walks away. Marilyn heads back to the bar and heads to the back room to grab her stuff. Ted wondered what is wrong with Marilyn and follows her. "Hey," said Ted, "are you ok?" "After trying to be seduced by a drummer," said Marilyn as she grabs her sweater and her bag, closing the locker and looks at Ted, "I'm not fine." She walks passed him and Ted said, "Well, let me walk you back home. You don't know how dangerous the outside could be at night." Marilyn sighs and said, "That's alright Ted. I'll call a cab." She walks out to the door and yells, "SEE YOU TOMORROW!" Ted looks at Marilyn leaving, wishing he could help her out but after hearing she was about to be seduced by a drummer, he was furious. He walks back to the bar to finish cleaning up as Bill walked towards the bar and said, "hey Ted." Ted looks up and immediately was about to lose balance when he saw Bill. "Oh uh, h-h-h-hey Bill," Ted spoke nervously. Bill looked at Ted with a confused look on his face and asked, "Are you ok dude?" Ted nods his head quickly and answered, "y-y-yea. Why wouldn't I be?" He quickly looks down and continues to wash the cups, trying to avoid making eye contact with Bill. 'Come on Ted,' Ted thought to himself, 'stop being a major dickweed and talk to him.' While he was drying a glass cup with the rag, he looks at Bill and said, "I must say, you did a most excellent job up stage. You have to show me how you play guitar." Bill scoffed with a smile and takes seat, saying, "sure. I'll show you how to play guitar but on one condition." "What's that?" Ted asked. "Since you are the most famous bartender everyone has been talking about," said Bill, "you must show me how to make drinks and cocktails, especially the Rave drink. That drink was truly most savory." Ted was surprised that a famous guitarist was asked to teach him how to bartend. "Uh," said Ted, "I have to think about it dude since I am kinda busy with preparing for tomorrow's work and also homework." "Homework?" asked Bill, "Do you go to San Dimas High?" Ted nods his head but realized something and asked, "You go to San Dimas High as well?" Bill answered, "I head back to school on Monday since I was on tour. Tonight was the last day of the tour and we go back to our normal lives." He rubs the back of his neck and sighs, "Man was it tiring." Ted scoffed and said, "I think running a mile in P.E would be more tiring than just a concert tour." Bill looks at Ted and said, "If you have Mr. Richard for P.E then yea, that would be way tiring." Both laughed as they took a deep breath and sighed. The club was calm and quiet but the romantic music began to play softly over the speakers. Hello by Lionel Richard began to play as Bill and Ted looked at each other, trying not to laugh. The joke behind the song was people who say 'Hello,' another person responds back 'is it me you're looking for?' to finish the lyric. "Must this song really play?" asked Ted. Bill chuckled and answered, "Unless you want me to take your hand and dance to this song." Ted was flattered and said, "no way dude. That'll be gay." Bill shrugs and said, "What's wrong with being gay? It's not like I'm gonna kiss you or anything." Ted's eyes widened a bit and said, "No. You're right. I mean, what's wrong with two dudes dancing just for fun?" Bill smiled and said, "Exactly." Just as Ted was about to take Bill's hand behind the bar, Joanna walks up and said, "hey Bill. We're gonna head home." Bill looks at Joanna and looks back at Ted, as both cleared their throats. "Well, I should head home," said Bill. "Yea," said Ted, "I have to finish cleaning and then I have to head back home." "If you want," said Bill, "we don't mind giving you a ride home." Ted shook his head, "oh no. It's alright. I don't get out until 3 which is in," he looks at his watch to see it was 2:40 am, "20 minutes." "Oh," said Bill, "well, let me give you my number so we can hang out." Ted smiled and reached under the bar to pull out a small notepad and a pen. He gives it to Bill and Bill puts in his phone number, with a little message on it. He gives the notepad and pen back to Ted and said, "Catch ya later Ted." He walks off with Joanna as she glares at Ted and wraps her arm around Bill and kisses him in the cheek. Ted was confused but mad. He hates how people make him feel like someone doesn't need Ted. Ted looks at the paper and sees the phone number with a message saying, 'to be honest dude, you're kinda cute.' Ted smiled slowly and looks back up where Bill left. He rips the paper out of the notepad, fold the paper and placed it in his pocket. He left the bar and yells at Nancy, "ALL CUPS ARE CLEAN NANCY! I'LL SEE YOU IN THE NIGHT!" Nancy smiles and waves Ted goodbye. Ted walks to the backroom, opens his locker, grabs his stuff, closes his locker and heads to the back alleyway of the Roxbury club. He looks at the folded paper he placed in his pocket, sighs and does a victory air guitar as he begins to walk back home, enjoying the beautiful cold night. How the moon shines down towards Ted, giving it a blue glow to see his shadow. His mind was running about Bill, how bodacious he looks with his eyes that sparkle and how the spotlight shines on him while he gave a guitar solo to the crowd. He couldn't believe he was in love with a guitarist and the paper admits Bill has a crush on Ted. His Friday night/late Saturday morning turned out to be a most outstanding success.
