Never Walk Alone; Sequel to Black Friday Rule

This is the sequel to Black Friday Rule, about what's going on with Avery, Catriona and Shane. The band that Catriona joins, Beren's Dream, they sound a bit like Nightwish or Within Temptation, if you're familiar with those bands, and the songs in the story are my original compositions. Feedback is welcome :)

Chapter 1

"Bye Mom", said Catriona Burton.

"Bye Kitty, have a good day at work", said Avery.

She waved goodbye to her mother, as she left the house. It had been seventeen years since that day, and she was now grown up.

Catriona met up with her cousin Darlene. "I hope the bus gets here on time", grumbled Darlene. She was Susan and Lou's daughter, with her mother's auburn hair and hazel eyes.

"Don't be such a spoilsport. We got time", said Catriona.

"Why are you so eager to go to work?", she teased.

"Maybe I got a feeling that something is going to happen. I got a good feeling about today", she mused aloud.

"What, do you think you're going to find a boyfriend? That'll be great. You think that with your looks, you'd find a boyfriend by now", joked Darlene.

"Not if they all have step on a ladder", she retorted.

Catriona had grown into a striking young woman. She was the splitting image of her father, with her height, wavy auburn hair and hazel eyes, along with her mother's face.

Her only problem was her height. Catriona was over six feet tall, taller than most guys she knew. Most guys were intimidated by her height, preferring shorter girls.

"My mom and dad were both six feet tall, is it any wonder I'm a giant too? Shane's taller than me, but since he's a guy, that's no problem", she said sarcastically.

"Hey, the bus is almost here. Maybe today will be your lucky day. Maybe Prince Charming will come on his white horse and spirit you away", giggled Darlene.

"More likely he'll show up with a guitar. I love guitar players, they're so sexy", she sighed.

"Yeah, because your favorite uncle is a guitar player", she joked.

"Stop that, the bus is here", said Catriona.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the mall. The stores were just opening, as they quickly made their way to the Hot Topic.

Their boss Eddie greeted them. He was very tall and thin, dyed black hair a contrast to the pallor of his skin, the color of chalk. He wore a Misfits shirt, black bondage pants and combat boots. His goatee was dyed purple, three piercings in each ear, along with nose and labret piercings.

"You girls are just in time. We just received a shipment of t-shirts, put those on the shelves. And we're giving away tickets for Gigantour", said Eddie.

"Cool. I know you're not supposed to like Megadeth because of your dad, but I love them", said Darlene.

"Just because of my dad doesn't mean I can't like them. Oh well, that's cool, I'd love to go to Gigantour. Hopefully we can get tickets", sighed Catriona.

Is Dave Mustaine over 6 feet tall? I know he's a LOT older than her, but that would be a cool matchup. Especially after he saved her life when she was a kid!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone :wavey Can you guess who Andrew's uncle is? :wink

Chapter 2

"Man, you know I don't like that fucking store. Why did you drag me here?", grumbled Andrew Mikhailovich.

"Hey, I gotta get something for my girlfriend's birthday. She loves gothic shit like that", said his friend and bandmate Robin.

"I am going to stick out totally, everyone will be looking at the tall one", he said sardonically.

"Hey, maybe some hot goth chick will hook up with you. Goth chicks are hot", cracked Robin, as Andrew flipped him off.

They entered the store, as Robin made a beeline for the women's clothes. Andrew rolled his eyes, flipping through the CD's.

"Not bad, they have too much emo garbage, though. Cool, they're advertising Uncle Dave's tour", he chuckled, looking at the poster for Gigantour.

I cannot believe she had to quit like that. We had a deal in the works, and she just quits on us, he thought sourly.


Catriona was folding t-shirts when she noticed the customers. A chubby man with blond curls was examining the jewelry, a serious look on his face. She was about to go over, when she saw Darlene approach him.

She glanced around the store, her eyes widening when she saw the other young man. He flipped through the CD's, his long graceful fingers that of a musician. Jet black hair fell in loose waves to his shoulders, past the collar of his worn Slayer t-shirt, his tight black jeans hugging his butt.

He's hot, she thought, a flush on her cheeks. She saw Darlene wink at her, giving her the thumbs up.

Andrew was examining a Slayer CD, when he felt someone next to him. He stood up to his full height of 6'7", coming face to face with one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever seen.

She was tall, over six feet tall and slender, wavy auburn hair falling almost to her waist. Her large hazel eyes shone with green and gold highlights, glowing with amusement. Her full red lips turned up in a smile, accentuating her pretty face with it's high cheekbones.

The girl wore a Master of Puppets shirt and a red and green plaid kilt, revealing her long shapely legs. The whole outfit hugged her slim, yet curvy figure.

"May I help you?", she asked.

Andrew felt a slow smile form on his lips, his green eyes glowing with amusement. "No, I am fine. I am Andrew Mikhailovich, and what is your name?", he asked. His voice was husky and sensual, a slight Russian accent to his words, which made her blush.

Catriona giggled, flattered at his attention. "I'm Catriona Burton, glad to meet you, Andrew", she replied.

"When do you get off, can I buy you a coffee?", he asked.

"Wow, you don't beat around the bush, do you? I get off at five", she replied. "Here's my number", she added, taking a business card out of her purse and writing her number on the back.

"Will do, kiska", he said gallantly.

I'm in a good mood :)

Chapter 3

"So Cat, why are you so happy? Some guy asked you out?", teased Shane.

Catriona playfully slapped her brother. "Very perceptive you are, brother. When was the last time a hot chick asked you out?", she retorted.

"As a matter of fact, this morning. I'm gonna get laid", he cracked.

Shane had grown into a tall, handsome young man. He had his father's auburn hair, height and slim figure, but his mother's vivid blue eyes. He was quite popular with girls, to his mother's and sister's amusement.

"Of course, you have a hot chick every night of the week. You are definetly a Metallica kid", she joked.

"Yeah, I know. Who's the lucky guy? I hope he's taller than you", he teased.

"Yeah, he's at least 6'7", I gotta look up. His name is Andrew Mikhailovich, and he has gorgeous black hair and dreamy green eyes", she sighed.

"Ooh, Kitty's in love. Wait until I tell our uncles that", he joked.

"Don't you dare, Shane. Then they won't let me date him, especially Uncle James. Is he going to be like this with Cali and Marcella?", she grumbled.

"Probably. He'd show up with a shotgun in case the boys got fresh. Don't blame him", he shrugged.

"Kitty, Shane. I am going Mass, I've already prepared dinner. You can go to your grandparents house later, if you'd like", said Avery.

"Okay, Mom. We'll tell you later", said Shane, as his sister poked him in the ribs.

"Let's see what's for dinner", said Catriona, as they went into the kitchen. She lifted the lid off a pot, smiling in delight when she saw the borscht.

"Cool, we got borscht for dinner, and with the dumplings too. Let's dig in", said Shane, grabbing two bowls from the cupboard.

"You wanna go to grandmas?", asked Catriona, ladling the soup into the bowls.

"Sure, Uncle Lou and Aunt Susan are visiting. I hope he's not smoking n Dad's room", he joked.

"Whatever. Do you think Mom goes to Mass so she'll be in heaven with him? I mean, she was pretty wild herself", she said thoughtfully.

"Maybe. Then again, if Dad's in heaven, he's probably smoking a joint with Bach, playing Orion on the harpsichord", he cracked.

"Yeah, we can watch Cliff 'Em All at our grandparents", she said, as they ate.

Chapter 4

"So Andrew, who's the chick at the Hot Topic?", joked Robin.

Andrew blushed. "Her name is Catriona Burton, she's as tall as me and that is hot. And she's a redhead, and she likes Metallica. My dream woman", he sighed, cracking open a beer.

Robin grabbed his own beer, plopping down on the couch. "I think it's just me, but she looks familiar. She reminds me of someone, I don't know", he mused aloud.

"Yeah, she does seem familiar, maybe we've met before somewhere. What about the audition tomorrow?", he asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah, it's tomorrow. I hope some decent singers turn up. Why did Tanya have to leave us like that? I mean, we were close to signing a deal. That fucking sucks", grumbled Robin.

"Uncle Dave says if we can find a good singer, we might have a shot either on the UK or Australian leg of Gigantour, or maybe next year. But we got a snowball's chance in hell", he muttered.

"Dude, think positive. All we need is someone who can sing your songs without fucking them up. Everyone has to agree, though. I can't believe she just left us like that", said Robin.

"Her sugar daddy doesn't want her to sing with us bums. His little Tanya is going to be the next Britney Spears. Talk about selling out", muttered Andrew.

"I know. Let's just hope we get some good singers tomorrow", replied Robin.

Andrew's gaze fell on the phone. "Dude, just call her. You know you wanna", he snickered, as he picked up the phone....


Shane and Catriona were just about to leave when the phone rang. "Hello, Burton residence", said Catriona.

"Hello kiska, this is Andrew, the fellow from the Hot Topic. You want to go out tomorrow, after work? I got some business tomorrow, but I'm free in the evening", he said.

"Sure, meet me at the food court around five. See you then, Andrew", she said, hanging up.

"Ooh, you got a hot date, Kitty?", teased Shane, as she flipped him off.

"Yeah, don't be a jerk about it. If he's a cool guy, I'll introduce him to our Mom and our uncles. I don't want them hovering over me, I'm not a kid", she grumbled.

I'm feeling very generous now :) And this is the band mentioned in the chapter: Nightwish

Chapter 5

Andrew sat down at a table in the food court. The mall was crowded with shoppers, taking advantage of the Memorial Day sale.

He was dressed casually in his favorite jeans and Megadeth shirt, with the Rust in Peace album cover. His gleaming black hair fell to his shoulders, his green eyes scanning the food court.

His face lit up when he saw her. Catriona rushed towards him, a flush on her cheeks. She wore tight black jeans and a purple Nightwish shirt, a necklace of dark blue beads around her throat.

"Sorry I'm late, it was busy at the store", she said apologetically.

"That's okay, I've worked in stores before, I know how it is. Do you want some coffee, or do you want to go somewhere else?", he asked, pulling out a chair for her.

"Thank you, but I feel like going somewhere else. The coffee here sucks", she said, making a face.

"Cool shirt. You're a Nightwish fan?", he asked, leading her towards his car.

"Are you kidding? I love Nightwish, I've got all their stuff. My favorites are Angels Fall First and Century Child", she said, her eyes wide with delight.

"Me too, I've been a fan since Oceanborn. My aunt turned me onto them, I saw them play in London when I was vacation there", he replied, opening the car door for her.

"You are so lucky. Too bad they never toured the states, that would be so awesome", she sighed.

"Yeah, they actually inspired me to form my band. I love their music, and I wanted to an American version", he replied.

"Cool, you're in a band? What is it?", she asked.

"Our band is called Beren's Dream, I'm the guitarist and songwriter. We do that sort of music, symphonic power-metal stuff. Only thing is, we got to find a new singer, our old singer quit on us", he scowled.

"That sucks. Beren, as in Luthien and Beren? That's my favorite part of the Silmarillion", she said.

"Mine too. Do you know who my uncle is?", he asked abruptly.

Catriona was startled by his question. She looked closely at him. His height, the shape of his face...

"Is your uncle Dave Mustaine?", she asked, a smile forming on her lips.

"You bet. Most girls have no idea, they don't know who Megadeth is either. You're one of the few girls who got it right", he chuckled.

"Cool. Do you know who my dad is?", she asked.

"Yeah, your dad's Cliff Burton. You look just like him. I thought you looked familiar. Weird, huh?", he joked.

"I know. You want to go to Sausalito?", she asked.

"Sure. There's a great record store there, that's where I get my imports", he said, inserting a CD into the player.

The opening notes of Bless the Child came over the speakers. Catriona unconsciously sang along. Andrew felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up on end.

Wow, she's got a great voice, he thought, his heart pounding. He kept his attention on the road, but he listened to her sing. She had a glorious soprano, about two or three octaves, he estimated. I have to audition her for the band, he thought, trying to keep calm.
