The stuff that didn’t fit into the summary:
*This is an extended songfic. Songs will be scattered all over this story, as it revolves around musical artists… they add to the telling and the meaning of the story.
*And there’s going to be lots of cameos by lots of different artists in the story. Even the Meaty Cheesy Boys show up! [Or at least one of them anyway.]

Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Prologue: Dreamy Eyes
"Where am I?"
He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by grass... as if he was in a field. Getting up to his feet from his sitting position, the young man looked about him... seeing a beautiful waterfall to his distant left, but otherwise grass as far as his eye could see. He started toward the water slowly... he felt he was in some sort of trance, and all of a sudden she appeared in front of him.
"It's you... again," he whispered. The same face that he had been dreaming of... a familiar face... someone he knew. She said nothing, just stood there in front of him, gazing at him with her beautiful dark eyes.
(Are you real or are you my imagination playing games?
I can't set you free, you'll always be my one eternal flame)
"Please... come, be with me," he pleaded. Still, she said nothing. He walked towards her and took her in his arms, but after a few seconds, she disappeared, the image of her eyes piercing his soul.

"Wait!"
The hoarse whisper that escaped from Ashley Angel's throat didn't wake up his fellow bandmates, much to his relief. But the darkness confused him for a minute, until he realized he was in his bed... clutching his pillow... it had all been another dream. Will these ever go away?
(I've been reaching out to touch you in the middle of the night
and I don't know if I've been sleeping, but I hold my pillow tight
You're the summer breeze that comes and goes, but somehow lingers on
Tell me, how can I forget you if you're never really gone?
Oh, your dreamy eyes
They just won't say goodbye
Well it must be my fate, 'cause I just can't escape
and the passion never dies
Oh, your dreamy eyes
No matter how I try,
I just can't reach you, dreamy eyes...)
Running a hand through his hair, Ashley sighed. "You haven't seen her in years, Ash, get a hold of yourself." But still... somehow he knew he couldn’t.
