(no subject)
Okay, so. When I was writing this fic I had to figure out the MCR side of things would go in order to keep things straight in my head and I've been reading my notes over and cracking myself up again. So, yeah. Sharing time! :D
In Gerard's head Pete is his Arch Nemesis and they would end up having this super dramatic Final Epic Battle with, like, flaming swords - even though those are no longer allowed, because it doesn't reflect well on the annual reports or something, I don't know - and it would be awesome, even though one or both of them would probably end up dead. He's still totally in love with the idea though.
Gerard is forever coming up with Plans To Foil Pete's Dastardly Plots, because he has to have them, right? So he's got like this little portfolio or something that's all neatly organized and Mikey takes a peek one day and it's all drawings with titles like "Plan A" and it totally looks like Gerard's been watching too many Bug Bunny cartoons again when he finds the one with "Call ACME, order catalog." scribbled in the margins and a little drawing of stick figure Pete - there's an arrow pointing to it with Pete's name - under an anvil, little arms and legs sticking out.
Meanwhile, Pete has like no idea any of this is going on because he's too busy mooning over Patrick and fretting a little about what's going to happen because they haven't gotten to the part where Joe gets his ingenius plan of VACATION TIME.
Anyway. Most of Pete's 'dastardly plots' involve whether or not he wants plain M&Ms or the peanut kind, and ooooh, hey! Reese's! Also, whether or not he should get Patrick to ditch class so they can play Xbox.
Gerard is not fooled.
Mikey gets kind of tired of Gerard's "Pete's evil! Look at his stupid hair!" rants sometimes (all the time) and is all "You know, all Pete did was ask me if I wanted to transfer, he didn't actually -- "
And Gerard is all "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOOOOU!" (like the sane, rational being he is) and Mikey rolls his eyes and goes back to listening to his iPod.
After Andy gets involved he has weekly meetings with the Ways, like, every Wednesday because that's when Patrick is busy with work and can't hang out with Pete and Joe or something (Pete and Joe go do stuff like watch daytime television on the couch and Pete is totally addicted to his soaps and gets pissy when Joe tries to switch the channel to People's Court) so they meet at Starbucks.
This is where we learn that Gerard's been addicted to coffee for centuries and may actually have had something to do with the founding of Starbucks - he won't admit it either way, just smiles and sips his venti latte whatever - and Mikey wasn't allowed out in the field at the time so it's not like he knows. He was stuck in like the mailroom, which is how he met Gabe.
(Oh, yeah, Gabe. Everyone always assumes he's one of Pete's because he's a little creepy? But no. Totally an angel. He just spent way too much time down in the mailroom and didn't have a lot of social interaction and just comes across as creepy and mildly disturbing. He's totally a good guy, though.)
Anyway.
Gerard is all intense and "Do we have to call out the big guns on Pete?" Meaning like, their supervisors or something, and Andy's like "Dude, no. Pete's like...it's weird, okay? But Patrick's totally a good influence on him." and "Pete just posts to his blog(s) a lot and watches television and sleeps. He's not really a danger or anything."
But Gerard jumps up and points at Andy and says "OMG, HE'S GOTTEN TO YOU TOO!"
Mikey facepalms and Andy just sits there looking confused while Gerard launches into another of his rants about Pete's evil ways (HAHAHA) and poor Andy's all "Dude, wtf?"
And then Mikey grabs Gerard by the collar and drags him away before the Starbucks manager calls the cops on them.
And then we get to Bob.
I still can't decise which would be better:
Bob as an angel who is sad, sad, that he no longer gets to go around with a giant flaming sword because things have changed and Heaven and Hell are more like rival corporations that are all into slide presentations with pie charts and bar graphs and those little laser pointers and shit than epic battles, and he totally loved that thing, okay? He did. So he goes to Earth all heartbroken and emo that they took his sword away and has been bumming around for a few hundred years doing...stuff (it's like he's taking a pottery class at the local community college for the summer or something) and sort of drifted over into the music world at one point. He does sound for bands and kind of forgets that he's not allowed to use his powers or whatever on Earth unless it's an emergency and keeps almost dying because wow, mortals and the whole fire thing, right? (I don't know. Timelines are irrelevant to this universe.)
OR.
Or Bob is a normal guy who had the terrible luck to draw the lamest guradian angel ever, even though they're no longer called guardian angels, and really, it's just wrong that his guy goes around reading porn all the time and not protecting him from things. Like fire.
And Frank. Frank is like mortal, too right. And he's a bit of a freak - but in a good way! - and he somehow meets Gerard and Mikey when they're trying to figure out how to do this 'band' thing.
Mikey is totally in love with Music, right? It's his boyfriend. He was the one that told Gerard maybe they should start a band too, to keep an eye on Pete and Patrick because their bands could totally tour together or something. Except that Gerard doesn't realize that they'd also end up on tours in different parts of the world most of the time because he only pays attention to the first part, and also, Mikey was joking because Gerard was flailing all over the place because he so totally does not like Pete Wentz.
After a while though things get to be ridiculous when Bob almost dies for like, the billionth time since Gerard and Mikey met him, so they pull strings and get Ray down there to replace the guy watching out for Bob, and Ray's totally down with the whole band thing. He's known Gerard since they worked down in the mailroom so they're pretty good friends, and he's pretty awesome on the guitar.
And then stuff happens.
The End.
