Chapter 5

The next day Jon woke up on Richie's couch. A smell of bacon swished around the room. Jon looked up and saw Richie cooking. "Morning Scar" Richie said laughing. Jon pushed his eyebrows together; he was really confused. He could not remember a thing about last night. Richie crouched down next to him and started to sing,
"I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthog's backside but thick as you are, pay attention my words are a matter of pride" then he messed Jon's hair up. "All time classic man!" Jon still did't know what was going on. "ha..you don't remember it do you?" Richie picked up his camera and showed a video;

Jon went up on stage; he was quite drunk. "ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA SING A SONG" Jon said with his beer bottle in one hand. Everyone cheered. "Richie, Tico, Dave c'mere" Jon said gestering with his free hand to come up on stage. They came up "Rich, your Shenzai, Tico, your Ed and Dave your Bonzai...we're gonna do be prepared" Jon whispered. They knew the song so well, they had watched The Lion King so many times when the kids came on tour with them. Jon went up to the micraphone and started to sing, he even put on an evil voice, similar to Scars.
"I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer" he started to tiptoe over to Richie. "And where do we feature?" Richie asked in a funny voice, that made everyone laugh. "Just listen to teacher" Jon said hitting Richie on his cheek twice - "I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!" he sang with his hand on his chest imitating Scar, "Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is..." Jon stood up on the chair then jumped down and roared "YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!"
The four of them all started to sing "So prepare for the coup of the century"
Jon took the micraphone "Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am, Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared...Be prepared!"

Jon buried his face in his hands, "Rich, why do you letme do this shit?" Richie burst out laughing and handed him a plate with bacon on it. Jon took the plate and starte eating. "'Cause I love seeing you make a fool of yourself" Richie told him. Bella came in, she was sweaty. Her hair was up, she was listening to her i-pod; she had just been running. "Bacon?" Richie offered, seeing Jon looked a bit annoyed. Bella smiled at him "no i'm fine thanks Rich" she went over and sat next to Jon. "You went out running?" he asked sulkly. "mmhmm" Bella hummed taking her hair down. "Ok" Jon said getting up, "Rich I need to borrow some shorts" Jon got a bottle of water out of the fridge and grabbed Richie's i-pod and a cap. He ignored Bella. "Babe, are you annoyed with me?" said with a laugh; she couldn't believe how childish he was acting. Jon winked at her to let her know he was only messing. Richie handed him shorts, Jon put them on straight away and went out for a run.
