LAFAYETTE, INDIANA


The motorcycle band drove down I-74 West from Cincinnati to Indianapolis. They took a bypass going down I-465 North which changed to I-465 West. Then they went down I-65 North to the next stop, Lafayette, Indiana. After settling down @ a motel, the families ordered take-outs. Joe ordered some barbecue for his family, but Scott cried, "I want a pizza!" Liz butted in & they said in unison, "Double pepperoni! Triple pepperoni!" "Scott, Joey Lawrence was only playing a bratty rock star on Prince For A Day." said Joe tiresome, "You're having barbecue with the rest of the family." Scott cried like Lucy. "WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Moments later when the family had barbecue, Matt entered & said, "Phoebe & I ordered a pizza. Look who delivered it!" The Romans were surprised that it's Joe's old friend, Billy Tremain (David Fagin). Billy met Liz & Scott while Matt gave Scott a slice of his pizza. When Billy ended his shift, he went back to the motel & visited the Romans. "I can't believe you & Matt hit it big!" exclaimed Billy, "Matt a rock star & Joe a jazz guitarist! I got both CDs. There's a cool place Phoebe & Matt might be interested in, the Iguana Studio." "What's that?" asked Matt. "The Iguana's a recording studio where mostly punk bands record." explained Billy, "You're famous for your iguana tattoo, why not you & Phoebe record a song?" "No thanks." said Matt, "Phoebe & I are under contract with Pacific Records." "Where are you performing?" asked Billy, "At the Tropicalo Water Park." said Joe, "It's our 1st waterpark concert. I'm kind of nervous though. Guts wants us to perform in our swimwear." "Mind over matter." said Billy. The next day, the gang attended Tropicalo Water Park enjoying the water slides & amusements they had to offer. One feature had Purdue college divers putting on a diving exhibition. Eric was pumped when a diver played a snare drum roll while another was diving. After the show, Eric went to meet his clone. he saw the divers relaxing as one diver said, "Very cute Cody, adding a snare drum to the show! Who do you think you are, Eric Hunter 2?" "Eric's the coolest!" said Cody. "He & The White Angels are a mockery!" said the leader, "They don't deserve to wear Guts Swimwear playing music. I bet they can't even swim! I'd like to challenge them." Eric came up to them & said, "We accept your challenge!" Of course, the band was angry @ Eric for putting them into a situation without asking. In a private pool area @ Purdue, the band arrived in swimwear. The divers whistled when they saw Victoria in a bikini! "The babe's mine." said Frank, "Let's do it. Victoria will referee." First, they had a 100 meter race. Purdue's team took the odd numbered lanes while Ralph's on lane 2, Joe on lane 4, Jason on lane 6 & Eric on lane 8. They got on their marks, Vicki blew the whistle & they dove in. The families & Billy were watching them battling it out. Then when they hit the wall, Eric was in the lead. Eric was able to beat Purdue & won! Eric got up & celebrated doing a dance chanting, "I'm the man! I'm the coolest!" Next up was springboard diving. The team watched Ben & Bart proved themselves. Bart made a cool dive & Ben did a double flip dive. On the middle diving board, Fred jumped in & dived. On the high dive, Frank was scared. "How can Eric get me into another mess like this?" he thought. Then he imagined Eric playing a tympani drum roll saying, "You can do it, Frank." Frank was in focus, did a triple somersault before landing in the water. When he got up, Victoria dove in, swam towards Frank & kissed him. When they got out of the pool, the lead diver said, "You guys really can swim. We take back what we said." Suddenly, their coach entered. "What are you people trespassing for?" he asked. Then he saw the band & snapped, "You're that band who wears Guts playing music. You're a disgrace to swimmers & the product!" As the people left, Billy tripped & fell into the diving pool. "Now look what happened!" sighed the coach. Bart dove into the diving pool to rescue Billy. Frank threw a life preserver to Bart to reel Billy in. Then when they arrived poolside, Bart gave Billy recusitation & Billy came to. "Coach," said one of the divers, "We challenged the band to different swimming events only to see if they fit the Guts image." "They proved themselves saving that man's life," he said, "I'll drop the charges." 5:00 @ Tropicalo Water Park @ the Lagoon Concert Stage, Matt & Phoebe Dee wore tropical clothes when they did their waterpark gigs. Fans liked Matt & Phoebe. About an hour later, girls screamed when Eric wore his muscle shirt & Guts playing tympani as the girls got excited when the rest of the band came out. Guys howled over Vicki's bikini! They performed all their hit songs, including Billy's favorite song, Color My World, that Joe sang. Eric took off his muscle shirt when he played his tympani solo, Eric's Power. The girls screamed @ Eric! Then to please the guys, Victoria sang solo & played a trumpet solo. When the show was over, the band got off their instruments, ran & jumped into the pool as the people went nuts!
