"Jimmy..."

"Yeah?"

"Why do you have a pink flowery blanket on your head?"

"I do?" He pulled it off and looked at it with a confused expression. "How did that get there? Weird shit."

He glanced at the bassist who mirrored the expression.

"Here, Johnny. You can have it."Jimmy threw the blanket to Johnny who caught it with both hands and then swatted it onto the floor, as if it was diseased.

"I don't want it! Give it to Syn or Zacky. We all know they are the most feminine in the group."

"What! We are not! And we are not even gay." Yelled Syn, walking into the room with a smirk planted on his face.

"Uh-huh. You seemed to be enjoying that little kiss you both shared earlier today." Jimmy winked and Brian and Zacky both turned several shades of red. "Don't worry. We won't tell a soul, eh Johnny?"

"Exactly." Johnny smirked.

"Erm, yeah that was an accident. It never meant to happen an neither of us enjoyed it." Zacky exclaimed in a fluster.

"Yeah, yeah and Johnny didn't enjoy the male stripper on his birthday." Jimmy said sarcastically.

"Exactly. Hey! Wait a minute!" Johnny piped up. Everyone else burst into laughter for at least ten minutes.

"And what's going here that the lead singer hasn't been informed about?"

Matt walked in the room and Jimmy, Zacky and Brian all looked at each other before breaking down of laughter yet again. Johnny pouted.

"Matt! They are all picking on me!" He pointed to Zack, Brian and Jimmy.

"Aww it's ok Johnny. What do you all think your doing piking on the smallest band member?" Matt said in a serious tone, while he patted Johnny on the head and gave the other members a glare. "You all know it is me that gets to pick on him the most."

There was a third burst of laughter. Zacky was almost rolling on the floor and Brian was wiping tears from his eyes.

"Don't cry, Johnny. We can always call that male stripper back in."

Jimmy snorted and Matt gave out a throaty laugh. Johnny folded his arms across his chest, leaned back on the sofa and sulked.

Half an hour later, the laughing had finally died down. Matt clapped his hands together and rested his elbows on his knees.

"Ok, back to business." All four pairs of eyes looked at Matt expectedly. "I think we need to shake up the show a bit tonight. I'm getting a bit sick of repeating the same thing over and over again." Heads nodded and a couple of 'yeah's were heard. "So any ideas?"

Everyone immediately started thinking up ideas when Matt raised his arms.

"Sorry to interrupt the brainstorming, guys but why the fuck is there a pink blanket in the middle of the floor?"

He cast his gaze around the room at the guys. Zacky and Brian looked at each other and giggled. Johnny stifled a laugh and Jimmy raised his hand.

"It's mine, Matt. I walked in with it on my head but didn't realise until Short Shit pointed it out." He explained.

Matt looked vaguely confused. "How the fuck could you not kn- you know what, never mind. I just want ideas on how we can shake up the show.." He sat forward on is chair and rubbed his hands together.

Johnny scratched his head and looked at the ground. His eyes flickered to the pink blanket in a ball on the floor. He felt a light bulb go off in his head.

"I have an idea."

"Ha, ok. If it involves any male strippers, or female ones for that matter, the answer is no." Jimmy laughed.

Johnny let out a grumble.

"It's not as if your ideas are the best... I mean, half the time you speak a load of absolute shit." Zacky said.

"Normally I would agree, but this is a good one."

Matt sighed. "Let's hear it then."

Johnny proceeded to explain the idea.

--------------------------------

"Everyone ready?" Matt said.

Grunts and nods told him that everyone was indeed ready.

The crowd roared as the might Avenged Sevenfold waltzed onto the stage. After about a minute, screams and wolf whistles filled the arena.

Jimmy walked onto the stage wearing part of the pink flowery blanket as a skirt. Syn had a bit of the blanket wrapped around his fedora while Zacky had made a bow tie out of his piece of blanket. Johnny has a long strip of the fabric as a belt and had a tie to match and Matt had turned his piece into a bandana.

Altogether, they looked pretty damn awesome. The crowd thought so too. In the end, Matt, Zacky, Brian, Johnny and Jimmy had ended up signing the different articles and giving them out to fans. Everyone was happy.

"So Johnny, about the male stripper..." Jimmy enquired while everyone else just laughed.
