Let me catch you up to speed. In this fanfic,
Scott & Liz are high school teenagers.
"Toddlers one fanfic, then teenagers in another!"
complained Lou, "They're not Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm!"
Please let me continue the fanfic!
However, their parents (Joe & Lou) were separated. Liz lived with Lou, wanting to be a ballerina while Scott lived with Joe who played the guitar like his dad.
We find Liz in the dance toom rehearsing some ballet. Liz was very cultured like her mother.
However, her friends disliked that sort of thing.
"Like, why are you dancing like that? Rehearsing for 'The Gong Show'?"
"For your info, I'm rehearsing for the Family Night Show." said Liz, "Mom & I are gonna dance to The Rose Adagio from Tchaikosvsky's Sleeping Beauty."
"Let me give you some advice." she said, "If they placed horse racing odds, you'd be the 100:1 shot!
Classical music stinks!" they left laughing.
Meanwhile @ the band room, the jazz band was practicing. Frank's adopted son, Michael, was lead trumpet. However, Scott Roman was the only member who never got to solo @ all. He's just tap his foot, chunking chords. The band director disliked Scott because his dad'd Joe Roman.
After practice, Scott talked to Michael.
"Man, I can't believe that director's prejudice!
Why can't I show my guitar skills?"
"Relax." said Michael, "You're still a star in our combo."
The band director overheard them.
"If I was a football coach, I'd make you warm the bench for life! I hated your dad becasue he made The White Angels a laughingstock. Posing nude for Playbabe, no wonder his wife filed for seperation.
You'll never solo, Scott Roman! Don't even bother to enter the Family Night Show, unless you're in need for tomatoes to make a pizza with!" (Laughing)
Joe & Scott lived in a house. And in the garage,
we find The Scott Roman Band practicing; Ranny on drums, Zack on bass, DC on vibes, Michael on trumpet & on electric guitar/lead vocals, Scott Roman. Like his dad, Scott's a super guitarist with a strong voice.
After Scott played his solo, Michael played a trumpet solo followed by DC's vibes solo.
Meanwhile, Joe was driving his convertible,
coming from work, when he saw Liz walking the street.
Just then, a punk took Liz's bag & ran off. Joe speeded to catch up to the punk. When he caught him,
he beat the crap out of him saying,
"You don't mess with my daughter!"
He got the bag back for his daughter. They were talking on a park bench.
"Dad, I never knew you care for me." Liz said,
"You always helped Scott out with guitar & never bothered with my ballet. Dad, I don't care what Mom says, you got class."
"Your mother always called me a macho rebel,
that's the way I am." said Joe, "I don't know if she'll ever marry me again."
"Try Dad." encouraged Liz, "I want a family back.
I want my brother, Scott."
Meanwhile, Scott Roman was crusin on his motorcycle along I-287. He speeded until he saw Mom's car stalled on the road. Scott stopped & helped Lou change a flat tire. After the temporary spare was placed, Scott escorted Lou to a tire shop for a new tire.
"I never knew you were strong." said Lou.
"Lift weights, play football." Scott said shyly,
"But my Dad likes me to play the guitar & sing."
"Are you happy living with Dad?" asked Lou.
"Yeah, Mom. I do a lot of cooking so we don't have to rely on delivery takeout." said Scott, "But I wish I had my mom & sister Liz back. I want the Romans back."
"Scott, you're caring not like your Dad." said Lou, "My dad was right, I shouldn't have married a musician. But there's no way I'll remarry Joe."
It's the night of the Family Night Show. We find a mother handing plates to her son as he spins them on poles. They managed to get 10 plates spinning simotaniously!
The audience applauded as our host, Mr. Conrad,
came out. He was the typing teacher whose voice was a cross between Ed Sullivan & Lawrence Welk.
"Wasn't that a wunnerful delight? Tahnk you,
Mary & Steve! And now we got something classy. Lou & Liz Roman will do a ballet performance to Tchaikovsky's Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty. Take it away, ballerinas!"
While the curtain opened, Liz's bullies switched taped. The audio man inserted the wrong tape!
"Let's see Liz dance to that!" they said chuckling.
The ballet music was normal. After the harp solo, Lou & Liz started dancing to the classical music. They were slow & graceful on stage. Two minutes later, the tempo speeded up! Lou & Liz had to improvise by dancing very fast! Some people in the audience laughed!
Off stage, Scott was ready to go on until he saw those bullies laughing. One held the real tape.
Scott grabbed it & yelled,
"I don't like people hurting my sister!"
"So what! Classical music stinks & so does jazz!" she quipped.
Scott pushed her down on the floor & said,
"You don't mess with a Roman!"
When the ballet ended, Lou & Liz left exhausted & tired. Lou told Liz that Joe had something to do with it.
"Wunnerful ballet dancing, picked up the pace!"
quipped Mr. Conrad, "And now to jazz things up, Joe & Scott Roman will play their electric guitars & sing a jazzy tune!"
The curtain opened as Joe & Scott played their electric guitars. Joe sang, then Scott. After singing, Joe played a guitar solo while Scott chunked chords. Then Joe chunked & Scott played his guitar solo. As Scott played, someone in the audience threw tomatoes @ them! Joe & Scott were being bombarded with tomatoes!
"Needs some oregano!" yelled a heckler.
When Joe & Scott left off stage, they saw Liz & Lou. They had a big argument accusing each other of butchering their acts. That same bully told Lou about their brother bully, Liz beat the crap out of her since she did it. And the tomato-throwing heckler (who turned out to be the band director) was sent to the principal's office.
Mr. Conrad came out with the envelope & a trophy in his hand.
"And now, 3rd Prize goes to Mary & Steve, the novelty act!"
Mary & Steve came out.
"2nd Prize goes to Lou & Liz!"
Lou & Liz came out.
"And our winners, Joe & Scott Roman!"
The crown cheered as Joe & Scott got the trophy.
Then Scott made a shocking statement.
"We have to disqualify ourselves. Our amps were broken & we Milli Vanillied our guitar playing. Lou & Liz win!"
Scott handed the trophy to Liz. But Liz did the same thing, she handed the trophy right back to Scott.
Scott & Liz played hot potato with the trophy unitl Scott gave it to Steve.
"Here are the real winners!"
Mary & Steve won saying,
"All right! The novelty act prevails in this fanfic!" leaving with the trophy!
Later, the parents had a long talk with their teenaged children about their behavior. Scott explained that they did it in fairness & they wanted Mom & Dad back together again. The parents were proud of their children.
That weekend @ the roof of Roman Garage, Joe wore a black tuxedo as Lou wore a pink dress. They were remarried again, Scott & Liz were proud!
At the reception, The Scott Roman Band had it's 1st paying gig. Scott looked handsome with his guitar & sang a cool love song Joe & Lou danced to.
"You raised a good daughter." said Joe.
"I'm proud that Scott Roman's our son." said Lou.
And as they hugged, kid vices could be heard saying,
"Daddy, Daddy! Mommy, Mommy!"
Joe & Lou were in bed as 5 year old Scott & Liz woke them up.
"We had a bad dream!" they said.
"What did you dream?" asked Lou yawning.
Scott & Liz both dreamed that Joe & Lou were divorced. The kids weren't happy @ all.
"Kids, this fanfic's only a dream." explained Joe, "Lou & I love each other & that won't change.
And we love both of you. Go back to bed."
As they went back to bed, Joe told Lou,
"First thing in the morning, I'm calling Playbabe to cancel that photo session. No one sees Joe Roman nude, except you Lou."
Lou hugged & kissed him as they went back to bed,
Scott overheard that part as he listened through the door. So he jumped into his bed. With that changed, Scott dreamed he's a high school teenager.
This time, the band director liked Scott becasue he was gifted & was a big White Angels fan.
The high school jazz band played an afternoon concert downtown. After doing instrumentals, the director said,
"Our last number features Scott Roman who wrote this song. Backing Scott will be Ranny on drums, Zack on bass, DC on vibes & Michael on trumpet."
The quintet did the song as Scott Roman played the guitar & sang. After singing, Scott played a guitar solo. Joe, Lou & Liz were proud of him. Then Michael played a trumpet solo, Frank was proud. DC did a vibes solo & Ranny played a drum solo. Scott sang again then finished the song. The audience cheered, then a well-dressed guy came up on stage.
"Pardon the interruption." he said, "My name's James Arnot of Pizza Bell. I handle special events including The Pizza Bell Philadelphia All-Star High School Jazz Band. Each year, a 24 piece band's assembeld having the best Philly high school musicians. I'm glad to announce that 3 will represent this high school."
He got out the envelope & opened it.
"The 3 to play in the All-Star Jazz Band..."
Ranny plays a snare drum roll.
"DC Coleman on vibes! Michael Brandis on trumpet! And Scott Roman on guitar!" (Ranny crashes cymbal!)
Joe, Lou, Liz & Frank were proud of them.
Months later, the Pizza Bell Jazz Band had a concert on Channel 44. One song had Scott singing & playing a cool tune!
