�Ish not time, to make a shange, just relax, eat some tea leavesh, you�re shtill young, dat�sh you fault, dere�s sho mush ya hafta know..�
�Find a girl, shettle down, if you want you can marry, look at me, I grow mould, but I�m happy..
Nicky & Bryan stood up on the stage, singing perfectly in key and tune, even though they were absolutely blind drunk. But still people were trying to get them off the stage and switch off the karaoke machine.
�All right all right, we�ll go!!! Come on Nicky, no-one loves ush here.�
Bryan gave a one-fingered salute to the crowd in the bar and pulled Nicky off the shtage- oops, sorry stage. As they stumbled out the door, arms across shoulders, Nicky put up a thoughtful finger and looked at Bryan.
�Hey Bry, you shure we sung the right words to that shong?�
�Well I know you did at the audition Nicky Byrnesy.� He thumped his buddy on the back. �That�s why you�re gonna get that place in that band with those Sligo boys.�
Nicky pulled away and pointed at Bryan, staggering on the edge of the curb.
�Heyyy� no. YOU are gonna get that place my man.�
They put their arms around each other and began to cross the road, arguing about who was going to get the place in the band, until they reached the middle of the road.
�Hey Bry� scheck it out�two people are walking real fasht with torshes�, he slurred as two bright lights came rushing towards them. Bry looked confused.
�Yukon what Nix? I don�t fink they�re torshes at all. I fink they�re-�
BANG!!!
A long flash of bright white light.
�
�Ow� Lord, my head�urrrggh.�
Nicky opened his eyes and saw a girl who cant've been much older or younger than him, standing over him, with a huge white light behind her. He looked around and saw that Bryan was lying next to him, asleep. He shook him and saw that they were both lying on something puffy, that felt like it was the most comfortable bed he�d ever slept on.
�Urgggh.. ooh, my head.. damn.� Bry blinked, rubbed his eyes, and looked around. He became aware of his and Nicky�s surroundings, and also of the girl standing over them. They simultaneously looked at her.
�Are we-� Nicky started.
�Dead? Yes you are.�
�Is this he-� Bryan began.
�Yes, this is heaven. Well, a division of it anyway. You are dead, you were both- hang on let me see..� She took a clipboard out from behind her back and flicked through a few pages. �Ahh, you were both hit by a car after staggering out a karaoke bar completely and utterly off yer heads.� She gave them a kind glance, and stuck her hand out for them to shake.
�Hi Nicky, hi Bryan. I�m Ann, your heavenly supervisor. You two have been specifically pre-selected to come up here and help me do what I do as soon as you left the earthly world, and here you are. Now get up off of that comfy cloud and get your cute little butts into gear.� She paused, and began to walk away, but she stopped.
�Oh, and welcome to Angel Grove. Hope you enjoy your stay here, cuz you�ll be here for a while.� She smiled brightly and walked briskly away, her pure white gown swishing the edges of the cloud as she went.
Nicky and Bryan stared at each other.
�AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!�
