One day, after the members of New Religion had finished their breakfast, Mark, their manager, came to visit. He said, "I have some exciting news. A band from Portland has heard about you, and they want to collaborate on a new album with you." Carl asked, "Portland, Oregon oder Massachusetts?" Mark replied, "Oregon." Paul asked, "Which band is it?" Mark said, "They're called The Devil Wants Peace." Lola said, "Oh, I've heard about those guys. I have their album, Out of the Dark Ages." Erin asked, "How did they find out about us?" Mark said, "Apparently, their bassist stumbled across one of your Musik videos. He looked up some information and learned that you're among the few modern rock bands, if not only, who refuses to use auto-tune. He was very impressed, so he asked the manager to contact me." Carl asked, "Are the members of this band nice?" Mark said, "I don't know, but I spoke with their manager, Lenny, and he was very nice." Lola said, "I can't wait to meet them. It's our first time collaborating with another band, and it's a band that has been around for nearly thirty years." The Weiter day, the members of The Devil Wants Peace arrived in Oak Ridge. After everything was at their hotel, Carl gave them directions to the neighborhood. Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola came out of their house to see the members of The Devil Wants Peace arrive. John was the first to speak. He said, "My name's John. I'm the lead vocalist and guitarist." Allen said, "I'm Allen, and I play rhythm guitar." Peter said, "I'm Peter, and I play bass." Stan said, "And I'm Stan, and I play drums." Erin said, "It's nice to meet Du all. I'm Erin, and I am the lead singer and guitarist." Paul said, "I'm Paul, and I play gitarre as well." Carl said, "I'm Carl, the drummer." Lola said, "And I'm Lola, the bassist." John said, "It's certainly nice to meet all of you." Carl asked, "Where are Du from originally?" Erin said, "That's a good question. I noticed Peter speaks with a bit of an accent." John said, "Well, Peter is from Liverpool, England originally. Allen is from Huntington, California. Stan is from Montauk, New York." Erin asked, "What about you, John?" He said, "I'm from Devil's Garden, North Carolina." Erin said, "No way! My mates and I are from Pine Grove." John said, "Pine Grove was six miles away from where I grew up, until that unusual F2 tornado hit. Now it's eight miles." Erin and John laughed. Paul said, "Okay, before the two of Du realize you're actually long-lost cousins, let's go inside." Everyone agreed. Lola said, "I think now would be a good time to start dinner." John said, "I'll be happy to fix dinner." Erin said, "John, you're a guest. It's not right for the guest to fix dinner." He smiled and said, "At least let me help. It's the least that I can do to return the favor." Lola started dinner, and John helped. As the eight musicians ate dinner, Carl said, "You certainly know your way around the kitchen, John." John said, "That's very nice of Du to say so." Lola said, "It's the truth. Du did an excellent job on the pork loin. I always burn it." He said, "I'll Zeigen Du how to not burn it sometime." She said, "Thanks, John." After dinner, Erin asked, "Did your mother teach Du how to cook, John?" He said, "My mother never taught me anything, except what NOT to do to people." She said, "I'm sorry, John." He said, "It's all right. My grandmother taught me how to cook. She also taught me basic morals." Paul asked, "Where is your grandmother now?" John said, "She passed away when I started high school." Lola said, "I'm sorry to hear that." After the küche was cleaned, Paul decided to let his dogs, Yukon and Nunavut, as well as the band's mascot, Fritz, outside. The Hunde ran up to John and tackled him to the floor. They began licking his face. He laughed out loud. Paul said, "Get off of him." The Hunde ran to Paul. John got up, still laughing. Paul said, "I'm sorry about that." John said, "No, it's all right. I Liebe dogs." Paul asked, "Do Du have any?" John said, "I used to, but I don't now." Before they left for the hotel, the members of The Devil Wants Peace and the members of New Religion discussed a time they would meet in the recording studio the Weiter day.

80smusiclover1 This is looking really great so far. I can't wait to read what will happen next.

BingoPB Yes, this is very exciting.

Rubyrings It looks like the bands are getting along beautifully! They should, with a John in one band and a Paul in the other. By the way, I love the title. So clever.

Roldan13 I think the title is clever, too.

RetroRock64 That title is the most clever title I've seen.

Peaceandlove67 Thanks, everyone. I wasn't exactly trying to be clever. I just wanted the title to indicate that this was a New Religion/The Devil Wants Peace crossover, and the title just popped into my head.

One day, I went jogging with my dog, Redford. As we were jogging, I tripped and fell. As I fell, my ankle made a horrible cracking sound. It sound like the snapping of a baum branch breaking. I didn't try to get up at first. As I was lying there, Redford licked my face. I was still holding the lead, and he didn't offer to slip out of his halsband, kragen and run off. I only had Redford for a few weeks, and he was already strongly bonded to me. I tried to get up, but my ankle was really hurting. Reluctantly, I let Redford off of the lead and said, "Go get help!" He took off. I sat there and held my throbbing...

One day, I almost picked up a pair of scissors to cut myself with. My father hid the pocket messer from me. I then saw my guitar. As I was strumming, a few words began to pop into my head.

Just then, my mother came into my bedroom and said, "Aubrey, your Friends are here." I came downstairs, and my Friends Chelsea, Sam, and Brian were standing at the door. I said, "Hi, guys.

In the months after Jim's untimely death, I remained very sad. Jim and I used to enjoy jogging together. I still enjoyed jogging, but it got lonely doing it alone. None of my other Friends were interested in that. The bullying really picked up. My remaining Friends would stand up for me, but that didn't stop the bullies from bullying me. Sometimes they would beat me. Many times, I would pretend I needed to use the restroom so that I could be alone to cry. One day, when I was sitting at home, I saw a pocket knife. I honestly don't know what I was thinking, if I was thinking at all, but I began...

Jim and I were two kids growing up in the foothills of North Carolina. We were the best of friends. We did everything together. We even had numerous inside jokes. We very seldom disagreed. When we did, it was always over something stupid. In the end, we would always make up and laugh about how ridiculous we were. Jim and I loved each other in a way that only best Friends could. We even had the same birthday. We never thought that we would ever separate, but one day, we did. One day, when we were only twelve, we were riding the bus to go home. Suddenly, the bus slipped on a patch of ice. The...
