And By Some Chance
Title: And By Some Chance

Theme: Rock the Boat
Rating: PG for language
Word Count: 300
Warnings/Disclaimer: Don't own, never happened. Sadly.
Author's Notes: Silliness. Enjoy.

British festivals were bad news, Bob decided as Frank happily skipped off stage. If they didn’t get bottled, then something like this happened.
Frank got ideas.
A dangerous combination. This time he’d spotted his newest muse: a kid in an inflatable dinghy…crowd surfing.
Ray’s efforts to change the subject were ignored. Frank was entranced.
 
People all said sit down
 
Frank had been like a dog with a bone until the next show, unwaveringly determined and days (seemed like weeks) of whinging had paid off. He struggled back onstage, armed with dinghy, ignoring Brian’s protests that he knew nothing of this plan, Frank, FRANK!
 
Sit down you're rockin' the boat.
 
A grimfaced security guard clung onto the inflatable craft as fans pummelled from beneath, screaming encouragement. Grinning, Frank launched himself into the boat, whooping with glee as he shot across the arena, whilst his band mates watched in anguish.
“Be careful!” Ray yelped into a microphone, as the dinghy slanted ominously sideways.
Frank waved to him. There was nothing to worry about; why everyone had been so against his plan, he didn’t know.
 
And the devil will drag you under
 
A tug on his t-shirt alerted him to how vertical the boat was becoming. To his right were four fans dragging on his shirt. Frank became vaguely aware of Gerard hurriedly yelling something from stage before his vessel flipped and he was catapulted into the audience.
“Shit!” Said Gerard.
“Help!” Squeaked Frank.
“Oh God...” Groaned Brian.
 
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat,
 
Last thing Frank glimpsed was Gerard’s face, twisted into a hilarious expression of disbelief and pure horror, his eyes bulging from his face, before the crowd above his head swallowed him up.
Shit.
 
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat.

That song was amazing enough on stage in London (with Ewan MacGregor, thank you very much ^_^). This, made it awesome.

(Plus, I kinda know how Frank feels, after their Aberdeen show.)

The crowd was insane and mean and nasty and we decided later it was like, the worst crowd ever. And we had brave concert veterans there. The show was like, the best ever, even though they were two down - I don't think I've ever seen Ray and Mikey move so much. And Gerard was...indescribible.

But one of my friends? We got to the third row, or I did - she was sorta squished between the third and second. Which wouldn't've been too bad, but some people - most people were assholes. I was holding on to her t-shirt and bag - and the only time I could see her was when she tipped her head back on to my shoulder to gulp at the air. She was drowning, but she was determined to stay, even when security kept asking her if she was okay. She eventually got pulled out, and some people were great and helped - most were assholes and wouldn't fucking move. But if you ever hear about Gerard opening his shirt and going, "Is it just me, or is it hot in here? It's hot." - that was cause of her. I saw his face go every time someone got pulled out, but I watched him watch her till she was out from the barrier. He followed her, y'know?

I lasted a bit longer, got some amazing photos, but I'm asthmatic, so when I started to cough I knew I had to get out. Took so long to get security's attention, and then when they started pulling me, "Thank You for the Venom" came on, and I'm like, no, no, PUT ME BACK!!!!! :( I'd straightened my hair before I left the hotel - it was soaked in sweat and had gone curly when I got out. My hair is frizzy at best. But that's how hot it was.

But the show itself, the boys? Rocked.

>:D Just like that boat.
