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!
