Les and Jimmy were walking along the spiaggia talking about their performance and how well it had gone when they heard footsteps running up to them and turned to see two boys about their own age, one who looked a little older and one who looked a little younger.
"Great show, guys." The boy who looked older put out his hand and smiled. "We were in the audience. I'm Felix."
"I haven't seen an act this good in a while," the younger boy added. He, too, put out his hand, and shakes were exchanged all round. "I'm Charles - the chitarra King," he added with a little grin. "And you're good enough to be another chitarra King!" he told Les.
Les grinned back. "Guitar King Les? I like that."
Jimmy glanced at Felix. "Should I be Jimmy the Drum King, o just ordinary batterista Jimmy?"
Felix laughed and shrugged. "Well, I'm just going to be Felix who plays the bass."
"So te guys liked our show?" Les went on.
"Sure did," detto Charles. "I was just saying to Felix here, te two should have a bassist and another guitar. te need to be a whole band, the way te played!"
Les felt a glow of pleasure. "You mean, a bassist and a guitarist like you?"
"Well, we would Amore to be part of your band," Felix confirmed.
Jimmy tilted his head as if considering them, but the sparkle in his eyes gave away his liking for the idea. "There's a good idea. I was beginning to think we would have to train my Cani to play chitarra and bass."
Everyone laughed.
"I say you're in," Les decided. "Jimmy? If te give them your address, we can arrange our first rehearsal. Our home base is Jimmy's basement for the moment," he explained to his new friends.
"Where all great bands begin," Jimmy laughed, as he scribbled his address and phone number on two scraps of paper and handed one to each new bandmate.
"And so the successivo great rock band was born!" declared Charles as he took his.
"Right on!" Les agreed.

When Greeley's birthday finally arrived, Leila went to Greeley's house. When she knocked on the door, Greeley answered. He said, "Hi, Leila." She said, "Hi, Greeley. Happy eighteenth birthday." She then handed him a card. He said, "Thank you." When he opened the card, the concerto tickets fell out. He said, "You got me concerto tickets!" She said, "Yes, and not just any concerto tickets. I got tickets to see New Religion. They're having an outdoor concerto this evening." He said, "That's bloody amazing. Thank you, Leila." He hugged her. She said, "You're welcome, Greeley." After dinner, they had some cake. Greeley said, "This is the best birthday I've ever had." Leila said, "It's not over yet." He said, "You're right. We have a New Religion concerto to go to." She said, "That's right. We better go if we want to get good parking." He said, "Right." The two Friends got into Greeley's car and headed to the concert.
Shortly after the incident, the members of The Devil Wants Peace were interviewed. The interviewer asked, "John, is it true that te overcame your fear of water before te saved Allen?" John replied, "It's true." The interviewer asked, "Is it true that the rest of te were surprised when John swam so quickly?" Stan said, "Yes. I knew that his girlfriend, Caryn, taught him how to swim, but I didn't know she taught him to swim so well." Peter said, "I was impressed at how Ribelle - The Brave he was, too." Allen said, "Yeah. I'll never forget what he did for me." John said, "Thank Caryn. She's the one who taught me how to swim." Caryn saw the interview on the news, and she was very touched. Later, John detto to Caryn, "Thank te for everything te did for me this summer." She said, "You're welcome." He said, "Your Amore for me is what motivated te to help me, and in the end, I was able to help my mates. Amore conquers fear. I truly believe that."
