Alan rushes inside Brad’s room.

Alan(jumping at Brad): Wake up bud.

Brad: What the hell? It only waits (looking at his watch) 7. What the hell is wrong with you? It’s not even 8 and it’s still a vacation.

Alan: I know it’s still the 4th only. But we still have two weeks until the new term begins.

Brad: Well, two weeks will be gone in a puff of smoke if you sleep, Alan.

Alan: Well, I got Bonjovi Tickets.

Brad (wakes up in no time): Wait what Bonjovi is here in Seattle?

Alan: Ya, and he is gonna sing each of his songs. Would you believe that?

Brad: Really and how long?

Alan: Come on. It’s for 3 hours. From 6-9. It will be great.

Brad: Ya I wish it were. But Dad will be here for a week.

Alan: But he said he would be out for a month?

Brad: Well Mom told me he will be here tomorrow.

Alan: Well, the concert is today. So what’s the problem?

Brad: Well, it’s not today, it’s tonight.

Alan: Come on Bud. It cost me 40 bucks.

Brad: 20 bucks for one.

Alan: It’s a Bonjovi concert man.

Brad: well, the Bryan Adams cost 15.

Alan: Well, this one has only 1000 audiences. We are like VIPs. Can you believe that?

Brad: Really And how?

Alan: Well, I was thinking about the two minds stuff you said. So I brought up this gig. Remember Will Coleman from Lincoln High.

Brad: It’s two thoughts………… Do you mean that tall dude who is Eva’s boyfriend?

Alan: Ya, well he is a celebrity.As he gifted me these tickets.

Brad: Well why would Will Coleman give you tickets as he knows you are my best friend and Coleman is my rival after all.

Alan: Well, I let him take Eva for a long ride by taking you to Helena’s apartment yesterday.

Brad: What you struck a bargain?

Alan: Ya you didn’t let me in with Amber. So it turned out well.

Brad: Ya, whatever. Give me that….

They reach the geese at 11.

Hank: Hey, guys what ya all doing? How was Helena’s apartment? Alan looks cheerful.

Brad: well, he is got, Amber and Helena.

Hank: Amber? Wohh………….two minds?

Brad: Seriously guys……………………..it’s two thoughts.

Hank: Well, what’s the plan today? I am sure Alan must be up to something?

Alan: Well, I know you are going with Jane for a date as Brad said.

Hank: Well, she is taking me to a concert with some Bonjovi guy.

Brad: What? How did she get the ticket?

Hank: Well, Will Coleman gave her as I have heard. She was trying to ake someone else but Eva convinced her to be with me.

Brad: Wow will Eva be there?

Hank: Well, only Will will be there and Eva will be with her dad that day.

Alan: Ok, is this something strange or I am missing something.

Brad: Well, she is a millionaire. So she must be doing something useful with her dad unlike us.

Hank: Well, I am trying to please your sister.

Alan: Ya, I wish Amber was there.

Hank: Well, she will be Alan. Jane got me two tickets and seeing you two are paired I asked Amber too to come.

Alan: Paired? No way? I am thinking Amber and he’s Eva.

Hank: What about Violet and Helena?

Alan: Well, Helena is still decorating her apartment.

Brad: And Violet is gonna be only in two weeks.

Hank: You were waiting for her to come back. Weren’t you brad?

Alan: Well, he was thinking of hibernation for two weeks.

Brad: Well, the safari and the race did tire me, Alan. And I still walked in a slopy path for 90 minutes while you rode a panther.

Alan: Well, the concert is gonna make you feel good.

Hank: What now you talking like a mature man Alan.

Brad: Ya, you are talking like Jade Wilson.

Hank: Ya, we will be talking about Will Coleman tonight.

Alan: Ok enough with the fooling around let's get a ride together.

Hank: You know what. My father has allowed me his car for tonight. It’s an SUV.

Alan: Well, that will be enough for the five of us.

Hank: Ya ok but I need to go home and ask the driver to reach here at 5. We will meet here at 5 ok guys.

Brad: Jee great.

Hank leaves as Brad and Alan enjoy the coffee. They sleep on the geese till they hear Hank shouting.

Hank: Guys, you slept here. I can’t believe in your patience.

Alan: Well, I had two large burgers and Brad already slept before I ordered them. I was thinking to wake him up after if finish the burger. But as I had the two burgers my eyes started to drowse…………………….

Brad(interrupting): You slept and ate my part of the burger.

Hank: Well, it’s 5 already guys. Look, Amber and Jane are here too.

Jane and Amber enter.

Jane: Badd……..I was waiting for you to come.

Brad: Well, I was sleeping.
