Five Men And A Little Lady

"Babe, your mind is wandering..."

When Lizzy finally tells her Dad to go home, after she'd handed Lisa to Jimmy, and think about what to do next, she wanders back into the dressing room to find it Brian free, and people free. Only Zacky and Jimmy are left, and both are captivated by Lisa, who's waving Jimmy's drumsticks around in the air, and trying to drum on the coffee table.
"Hey babe, where'd you disappear to?" Zacky asks as she slumps down on the couch next to him, holding him tightly.

She can't even look at Lisa the same way now- not now that she knows it's her little sister in Jimmy's arms. That it's her half sister if anything, because her mother's God knows where, and her Dad just wanted a cheap fuck.
"Family meeting"
"Including Lisa? You could've left her with us"
"Lisa is family"

Jimmy doesn't say anything, but Zacky turns to look at Lizzy like she's gone crazy. He knows she's not the most perfect human being, hell, growing up with Brian as a brother is sure to stunt many people's emotional growth, but she's acting stranger that usual.
"Baby, is there something you want to tell me? You look really tense" he asks and she shakes her head, glancing around the room for any signs of Brian.

"Did Brian come in here?"
"Yeah, about fifteen minutes ago. He took a bottle of Jack and said something about going back to the bus. I think he's just sulking, cause he's Mr big meanie-pie, isn't he duckie?" Jimmy says, suddenly turning all mushy when Lisa laughs at him and he starts playing with her fingers again. Lizzy takes a deep breath, and stands up, clutching Zacky's hand.

"Zack...I have to tell you something, and then we have to find Brian before we have to call an ambulance to get his stomach pumped" Lizzy mutters, and drags her boyfriend out of the dressing room, leaving Jimmy in the presence of his new favourite person.
"Babe, you're freaking me out- what's wrong? Is it something about Brian? Your dad?" he asks, and Lizzy realises her hands are shaking, a sure symbol that a panic attack is about to come on.

"No. It was about Lisa. She's my-our-sister" Lizzy says and Zacky's eyes widen, but he doesn't yell. Instead, he puts his arms around his girlfriend and holds her tightly. Now he knows why Brian was so pissed, and now he knows why she's acting so strange all of a sudden.
"It's OK. So Lisa's your little sister. It'll take some getting used to, but you'll get through it. You and Brian always do"

"IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR MEEE, IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR MEEEE, SOMEBODY STOLE ALL MY BEER, BET IT WAS BRIAN, IS HE IN----here?" the two suddenly hear Jimmy singing from down the corridor, and pops his head into the little room Zacky and Lizzy are stood in.
"It's OK, Lisa, there's nothing R Rated going on in here" he says as the little girl wanders in, all smiles and giggles in front of new people.

"What is it with you and show tunes? I think you should write a Broadway show" Zacky mumbles as Jimmy picks up Lisa from the floor and grins.
"YES! And I'll call it...Jimmy and Lisa's Marvellous Adventure! Come on- back on the bus before we all go home!" Jimmy announces, and suddenly skips out of the room, singing,

"We're off to see the Mattie, the wonderful Mattie of Shadows!"

"Sometimes I wonder what sort of drug that man is on- and where I can buy it legally" Zacky says as he leans down to kiss Lizzy, who hugs him gratefully as she laughs.
"Thank you. For making me see sense"
"It's alright, sweetie. It's what I'm here for, isn't it?"

"But Matt! If I don't have you as the dragon then Johnny can't be the fairytale princess!" the couple hear Jimmy demanding as they walk onto the bus hand in hand. Everyone's present but Brian, who I guess is in the back lounge drinking away his anger.
"Jimmy- I know you've taken some crazy stuff over the years, but who gave you the idea to make Johnny a fairytale princess?" Lizzy asks as she cranes her neck to see if the back lounge door is open.

Locked tight.

"Alright- there's only one thing we have to settle before we all go our separate ways, for now anyway. Who's gonna take care of Lisa?" Matt asks, and the group shut up, almost like he's the teacher and their just another rowdy class.

Jimmy almost jumps out of his seat, waving his hand in the air like a kid who knows the answer and desperately wants to be picked.

Suddenly, the door to the back lounge bangs open and Brian stumbles out, an empty bottle of Jack in his hand. He sways and can't even walk in a straight line- yet he somehow manages to make it out into the main room.
"ME! I'm her fucking brother, I'll take care of the damn kid" he slurs, and everyone turns to look at him. Slowly Lizzy nods at Jimmy, to keep Lisa still, and then walks over to her brother.

He's always a slight problem with anger, misery and alcohol, but she's the only one he can't bear to hurt.
"Brian. Give me the bottle- NOW" she says sternly, almost like a mother. He sticks his tongue out, but hands the bottle over anyway.
"Come on baby, we've gotta get you home" Lizzy says, putting her arms around her brother. He's in the sloppy drunk mood now, and he smiles and waves at her as he stumbles yet again.

"I *hic* love you, Lizzzzzyyyy" he grins, and kisses her sloppily on the cheek, as she pulls away grimacing.
"Jim Jam, you watch Lisa tonight. When Brian's a little more sober, I'll talk to him about Lisa staying with us" she says, and Zacky gets up. Even if he won't get laid tonight, he wants to at least be there to help Lizzy. Especially seeing as the last time a drunk Brian was with her, he collapsed on top of her and she was too weak to lift him back up.

"I'D DO ANYTHING, FOR LIZZY, DEAR, ANYTHING, BECAUSE YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO BIG FUDGE....!" Jimmy starts to sing again, receiving glares from every other person on the bus.

"NO MORE SHOW TUNES!"
