Oh crap, I'm sorry to hear you were sick Vanessa This was a great chapter- I really got a kick out of reading Megadeth lyrics (I know the music but not the lyrics, how lame is that?!) and comparing them to your songs and all the other cool music in this story. |

Ladies, I'm feeling a lot better now, and this starts the second part of the story. If you can, please have a map of Scandinavia on hand, you might need it for the next twenty chapters or so. It'll become clearer in the next chapter And this is what Avery made for dinner: BigosChapter 86 "All right, this is it. We must all part and go our separate ways. Gigantour was a success, but we must rest now", said Dave. They had just wrapped up the Japanese Gigantour and were now back at Narita Airport to catch their flights home. Children of Bodom were going back to Finland, Lamb of God to DC, and Megadeth and Beren's Dream to California. "Wow, I didn't know that touring could take so much out of you", said Catriona. "I know, you'll get used to it, Miss Kitty", chuckled Dave. "Dave man, go find your own chick", joked Shawn, as everyone laughed. "Dude, like hot chicks would go for an old dude like me", he cracked. "We have a three-month vacation, I suppose we deserved it, kiska", said Andrew. "Yeah. When I get home, I'm just going to sleep, catch up on my email, see my family. Mom says she's making bigos, I can't wait", she sighed. "Lucky girl. Justis and Electra are visiting for the weekend, I hope they like the stuff I got them", said Dave worriedly. "They're gonna love it, Dave. They must be really happy to see you", she said reassuringly. "Flight 611 to San Francisco is now boarding", announced the voice over the loudspeakers. "Well, there's our flight. See you guys later", said Andrew, as the other bands went to catch their own flights. "Man, when they're gonna get here?", muttered Shane. "Don't worry, they will be here, Shane", said Natalya. Shane smiled at his friend, winking at her. They had become best friends ever since the day he'd given her pot. Avery was pleased that they were friends, but Ivan was suspicious, thinking it was odd that a boy and a girl could be friends. He finally came around, but both him and Avery wondered if there was any sexual tension between them. "I hope so, lalka. Man, Japan is so rad, if Metallica go back on tour, I wanna take you, we can go to the bars in Roppongi and get hammered, that rules", he said excitedly. "Well, aren't they going back on tour?", she asked. "Uncle Lars says until next years, they're working on the album. Oh well, I got a year to do nothing", he joked. Shane had been going on tour with Metallica since his teens. Mostly, he worked with Kirk's guitars and amps as a sort of guitar tech. He enjoyed it because it allowed him to travel and be with his uncles. "Flight 611 American Airlines from Narita Airport has just landed", announced the voice over the loudspeakers. "Oh man, I can't wait. Mom's making bigos, she can't wait and the band's recording at HQ. Then again, she'll eat and pass out", he shrugged. "She must be exhausted", she chided. "I know, lalka", he chuckled. The gates opened and the passengers stepped out. Shane's eyes lit up when he saw his sister, resisting the urge to run over and grab her. "Are you not excited to see your sister?", she teased. "Yeah, but I'm not making an ass of myself", he retorted. Catriona and Andrew emerged, walking hand in hand. Her eyes lit up when she saw her brother, rushing over and embracing him. "Hey, don't squeeze me, Kitty", he joked. "Sorry about that, Shane", she chuckled. "Hey man, how's it going?", he asked Andrew. "It was good, Shane. Kiska, the others and I are going back to our house. I will see you later after you have rested", said Andrew, kissing her cheek. "Okay, see you guys later. Shane, when I get home, I'm going to eat Mom's bigos and pass out. Don't be surprised that I sleep for twenty four hours", she joked. "I gotcha, let's roll", he said. Shane's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Dave Mustaine walking towards them. "Hi, are you Shane, Kitty's brother? Kid, your sister is one helluva singer, your dad should be so proud", he said wistfully. "Uh, yeah, thanks, Mr. Mustaine", he said dubiously. Natalya noticed the odd gleam in Dave's eyes when he looked at Catriona. Is there something going on here?, she wondered. |

Natalya noticed it. I wonder if Avery will notice that something is up too.It's nice to see Natalya and Shane again. I just wonder if Natalya's father is going to be a pain in the ass about things though. I probably wouldn't care for bigos- I don't like cabbage, but I'm such a fucking picky eater. I'm soooo high maintenance. I'm excited to read what's going to go down next in this fabulous story. Scandinavia sounds like it will be cool.

I hope Dave and Kitty aren't apart for too long... but I am glad that Avery and Shane are back. I was wondering how they were doing. |

And this is why you might need the map of Scandinavia Chapter 87 Avery looked at the email in front of her, the blood pumping in her ears. I cannot believe it, after all these years, he's found us. I don't know whether I should reply back, she mused. She had finished clearing up the dishes from dinner when Shane alerted her she had an odd email. I cannot believe it, I hope he doesn't want anything from us, she mused. The email was from her father, John Macleod. Apparently, he had come across the band's website and saw that Catriona resembled her father and that her last name was Burton. Luckily Kitty is asleep, I don't want her to think that her grandfather is stalking her, she thought. Avery had to smile at the idea. Catriona had arrived home jet-lagged and exhausted. She'd eaten some of the bigos before slumping into an exhausted sleep. I'm just going to let her sleep, she must be exhausted. I felt the same way after coming home after touring with Metallica, she thought. Shane walked into the room. He wore old blue jeans and a Misfits shirt, his auburn hair loose to his shoulders. He looks more like Cliff everyday, she thought sadly. "Mom, you gonna answer him?", he asked. "I'm not sure, Shane. He is your grandfather, after all. But why does he want to speak to us? Him and Mum disowned me", she said bitterly. "Fuck them both to hell, if you want, I'll kick his ass", he growled. "You are truly a Burton, Shane. But apparently Mum died and he's remarried, he lives in Sweden with his new wife", she said. "Maybe he bagged himself a hot babe, Swedish chicks are hot", he cracked. Avery playfully slapped him. "You are a naughty boy, Shane", she teased. "Geez, Mom. But why does he want to speak to us? I hope he doesn't want any money", he grumbled. "I don't think so, he's retired and living in Ostersund, Sweden. Sweden is an expensive country to live, and his wife doesn't work either. I'm assuming he's independently wealthy. Shane, I don't want to go. Do want to go in my stead? I'm afraid I might kill my own father", she chuckled weakly. "Sure, why not? I've never been to that part of Sweden before. And I wanna take Natalya, I'd bet she'd love it", he replied. "You are a cheeky boy, Shane. But I don't think Ivan would like that. He's going to be concerned about his only child", she said. "Man, what's the worst thing that might happen in Sweden? Some drunk pukes on you? You eat some bad reindeer? You score with the one ugly chick in the country?", he joked. "Very funny. I'll ask your uncles for advice, let's see what they have to say", she said. Just then, her mobile rang. "Hello?", she asked. "Hey, Avery. How's Kitty doing?", asked Lars jovially. "She's fast asleep. Lars, I need advice", she said. "What's the matter?", he asked. "My father sent me an email via the band's website. He wants us to visit him in Sweden, he lives there with his new wife. I'm seriously considering letting Shane go with Natalya to see him. If I saw him, I'll probably kill him", she said bitterly. "Damn. Tell you what. I'll accompany them to Copenhagen to make sure they arrive safely in Scandinavia, we can stay at my father's place. The record is such a pain in the ass, I think we can all use a little time off", he chuckled. "Bless you, Lars", she sighed. "Hey, I'm not a Catholic, you can't bless me. Just let me buy the tickets and I'll make the arrangements", he said. "Thank you so much Lars. Bless you", she said. Lars swore in Danish, but she could hear the laughter in his voice. "All right, see you later, Avery", he said, hanging up. |

Wow. I wonder what Avery's dad could possibly want. I don't trust the dude. If he wants to make up with Avery, it should be between her and him. He shouldn't put her kids through any bullshit. I can't wait to read about Lars and Scandinavia. I wonder if Kitty will go with her brother and Natalya. I'd like to see Avery go too. Then she could kick her old man's ass. This story rocks! |

Chapter 88 "Natalya, you be a good girl. Mr. Ulrich, thank you so very much for agreeing to watch over them", said Ivan. "My pleasure, Mr. Stankowski. I'll watch over the kids", said Lars. They were at the departure lounge at San Francisco International Airport. Lars, Shane and Natalya were getting ready to board their flight to Copenhagen, where they were going to meet up with Torben Ulrich. "I am just concerned, Mr. Ulrich. I have heard some wild stories about Scandinavia", said Ivan. "Do not worry, Papa. It is very safe there", she said reassuringly. "SAS Airlines Flight 645 to Copenhagen now boarding", said the man at the desk. "Well, I guess this is goodbye for now", said Shane, embracing his mother and sister. "Do widzenia, Papa", said Natalya. Lars led them to the desk and showed the man their tickets, as he examined them. "Okay, please go through the gate and find your seats", he said. "Kids, we got first-class seats. No way you wanna sit in coach in you're going to Europe", chuckled Lars. "We flew in coach when we came here from Poland", said Natalya. "That sucks. Don't worry, lalka. You're gonna love first class, the food's great and the drinks are free", said Shane. "You got that right. My dad and his wife are gonna meet us at the airport. Mariska is nice, she's younger than Dad, though. After Copenhagen, you're on your own, kids. Take as long as you want, you have an unlimited bank account. You may not wanna see your grandpa right away. Don't blame you, Avery makes him sound like an asshole", said Lars, making a face. "You are gonna love Copenhagen, lalka. The nightlife is crazy and the city itself is gorgeous. The only place I've been to in Sweden is Stockholm, that's cool too", said Shane. "I don't want to tag along with you kids. Shane, you're old enough to be trusted on your own with some chick. And Natalya, don't make your daddy mad at you", he joked. "Welcome aboard Flight 645 on SAS Airlines to Copenhagen, with a stopover in London. The flight will be approximately twelve hours to London and three hours to Copenhagen. I hope you enjoy your flight", said the pilot over the intercom. |

I'm very surprised that Natalya's old man let her go. It should be fun being that she's with Shane and Lars is her only chaperone. Go Lars!!!!!!!! That was also very badass of Lars to get them first class seats. I flew first class one time and it was pretty cool. Rock !!!!!!!

This is where they are: Copenhagen And this is the airport: Kastrup Chapter 89 Their flight arrived at Kastrup Airport almost sixteen hours later. Shane's eyes slowly fluttered open, smiling when he saw Natalya snuggled against him. Lars was already up, his eyes wide in anticipation to see his native land. "Wake up, lalka. We're here", he said, gently shaking her. Natalya slowly opened her eyes, a smile forming on her lips. "We are here, Shane?", she asked sleepily. "Yeah. We gotta go and meet Mr. Ulrich, Lars' dad. He lives here and we're going to stay at his place", he replied. Lars led them out the plane. His eyes lit up when he saw his father, but he resisted the urge to run over to him. "Dad, hvordan star det til?", he asked. Torben smiled at his son. He was an imposing, bear-like man with his shoulder-length brown hair turning gray at the temples. He was a bit taller than Lars, his retirement from tennis showing in his slight belly. "Bare bra, takk", he replied. "And how are you doing, Lars?", asked Mariska, his step mother. She was an attractive woman in her forties with chestnut brown hair and warm brown eyes, speaking with a Central European accent. "I'm fine, Mariska. Dad, Mariska, this is my nephew Shane and his friend Natalya", said Lars. Torben smiled at them and shook their hands. "Arsak til Danmark, Shane and Natalya. I am Torben Ulrich and this is my wife Mariska. Our house is outside the city to the north of here, there is plenty of room and I hope you will like", he said, speaking with a soft Danish accent. They retrieved their luggage and headed towards the parking lot. "My father's house is on the shore north of the city. It's gorgeous there, and if it's warm enough we can go swimming", said Lars. "Natalya, where are you from?", asked Mariska. "I am from Poland, from Katowice, Pani Ulrich", she replied politely. "How interesting. I am from Hungary, from Debrecen. If you want, you can get some rest while I cook dinner, you must be exhausted", said Mariska. They piled into the Ulrich's enormous black Lincoln Navigator as Torben drove out of the airport. Kastrup was located on an island to the east of the city, surrounded by the harbor on one side and the Oresund strait on the other. The medieval buildings surrounding the harbor came as a surprise after the modernity of the airport. The buildings were about three to four stories tall, made of brightly colored brick: yellow, blue and dark red being the most common. "That is Nyhavn, there's a lot of clubs there. If you want, you can go there later", said Torben. He drove past the city limits to the north shore of Zealand. The cityscape gave way at first to pleasant suburbs to farms and then flat plains and forests. Behind the trees to the east, the Oresund was clearly visible, a wide blue expanse of water like a calm lake. They finally stopped at an estate on a plan, just out of reach of the Oresund. It was guarded by a wrought-iron fence designed with intricate vines surrounding the family coat of arms, a boar with a dagger in its mouth. "Welcome to Flesk Kniv, our estate", said Torben proudly. He took out a remote control from the glove compartment and pressed a button. The gates opened up and he drove inside. On the crest of a knoll was the manor house. It was a handsome brick building, long and three storeys tall. The walls were made of warm light brown brick with a red brick roof, the shutters surrounding the windows in white and black. "I know, I grew up here, it is the Ulrich ancestral home. Since my grandparents are gone, my dad owns the house. I'm going to inherit it someday", said Lars. Torben parked the car in the garage, where they were greeted by a butler in a tuxedo. "Henrik, Lars is visiting us. And these are his nephew and his friend", he said. Henrik bowed. "Welcome, I am Henrik, Master Ulrich's butler. And what are your names?", he asked, speaking with a very proper Danish accent. "I am Shane Burton and this is my friend Natalya Stankowski", said Shane. "Welcome Herr Burton and Froken Stankowski. I will show you to your rooms, you must be tired after your trip. And if you would like anything, just ask and it will be done", said Henrik. They followed the butler out of the garage and into the parlor. Shane and Natalya's eyes lit up when they saw it; it was enormous and rich, obviously the parlor of a mansion. It was a cavernous room with a cream marble floor streaked with the palest pink and gray stripes, the walls a soft peach color. The furniture was all mahogany and peach silk, except for the couch which was maroon velvet the color of a deep red wine. Pale pink drapes framed the windows, a pleasing compliment to the rest of the room. The butler led them upstairs up the wide marble staircase to the second floor. It had rich, deep chocolate brown walls and a luxurious forest green rug on the floor, the doors made of the same mahogany as the furniture downstairs. "Here are you rooms, Herr Burton and Froken Stankowski. If there is anything you want, please do not hesitate to ask", said Henrik. "I'm just gonna crash for a bit, see you at dinner", said Shane, giving her a quick hug before going to his room. Natalya nodded and entered her room, her eyes wide at the sight. The room was done all in blue, from the walls with robin's egg blue to the drapes of the enormous canopy bed and quilt which was sky blue. The floor was made of dark wood, the furnishings all white-painted wood. A big-screen TV was opposite the bed, the windows framed by blue silk drapes. "Wow", she murmured, speechless. |

That's pretty sweet that the Ulrich's have their own master butler. Henrick is a great name for a butler too. That parlour sounded amazing. Torben and Mariska seem very very very nice. It was very kind of them to pick Shane and Natalya up at the airport. Of course, they were picking up Lars too though. Good chapter!!!

I loved Dave and Kitty singing together, or I should say Davetriona singing
:horns2

And this is what Avery made for dinner:
I wonder if Avery will notice that something is up too.
I love bigos
