As time passed since Shadow's passing, Janis got something she had been waiting for, the results from Shadow and Juneau's DNA tests. The test kits arrived when everything was still all right. She didn't order one for Stevie, because Stevie's original owner had papers to prove she was a Staffordshire toro Terrier. He had to give her up, because he was moving to a place that didn't allow dogs. Again, that's another story. Where Shadow and Juneau were both rescues, Janis wasn't sure if they were purebred dogs. She read the results, and she learned that Shadow was a purebred Rottweiler. She also learned that Juneau was a purebred Siberian Husky. Janis later talked with her friends. She said, "I know that Shadow was a purebred Rottweiler. I figured that he was. He looked like one. He acted like one." Simon said, "Still, whether he was purebred or not, he was special to you." She said, "Of course he was! He was a wonderful dog. I'll never forget him." Kelsey asked, "Will you be getting a new dog?" Janis said, "I will get a new dog some day, but I want to grieve Shadow a little longer. I also want to give Stevie and Juneau madami time. One day, I'll go to a rescue center, find a dog that needs a home, and bring him or her tahanan with me." She smiled at the thought. Although the Aso she had Nawawala in the past few years were special to her, she knew that her susunod dog would be special in his or her own way. In the late spring, she went to a rescue center and found a red and white Siberian Husky puppy. His name was Aspen, which happens to be the name of a town in the state of Colorado. She introduced her new dog to Stevie and Juneau, and they got along very well. All was well once again.

80smusiclover1 That was a lovely ending. Another job well done, buddy.

BingoPB Yes, it was. I enjoyed reading this.

Peaceandlove67 I'm glad you two enjoyed it. I will be writing another fan fiction soon.

Rubyrings I can't wait to read it! This was so touching. I teared up just a little bit when Janis found a new dog to give a loving home to.

RetroRock64 I'll admit that I teared up, too. I am looking forward to your next fan fiction.

Peaceandlove67 I'm glad you two are looking forward to it.

Roldan13 I'm looking forward to it, too.

Peaceandlove67 Hooray! Another vote of confidence!

It was June 19, 1991. The rock band, The Devil Wants Peace, had just released their segundo album, Peace is the Way. Not only were they celebrating that occasion, they were also celebrating John Wilde's twentieth birthday. Allen, Peter, Stan, Ben, Lenny, and John's uncle, Bob were all there. Suddenly, the phone rang. John went into the other room to answer it. "Hello?" He answered. The voice said, "Happy Birthday, John." It was his mother. John said, "I know you want something, Mother. The last time you sinabi that to me, I was eighteen." She said, "So, you're a famous rock bituin now." He said,...

Surviving Against the Odds
That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn you that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are you talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants you dead. You need your mates now madami than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night. I heard him asking if I was all right, but I was fixated on my dream and couldn't respond. "John!" He shouted. I responded with "Huh?" He said, "I said, 'Are you all right?'" I said, "Yeah. I'm just fine. Why?" But...

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first tanong and sagot interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do you think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?" John said, "I think you should go. You have nothing to...

On the Road
After the release of our debut album, In a Flash, we decided to start touring. We got Uncle Bob's friend, Lenny, to be our manager. When we did our first live show, it was exhilarating. I turned out to be the only one who ever performed in front of an audience, (if my mean school mates at the park in Devil's Garden counted). I wasn't sure who was madami nervous, Peter or Stan. I told them, "If you want my advice, when you sing, focus on the people in the back. It should radiate from them to the people in the front row. If everybody's looking at you with a bored expression, either...

Starting Out
After we formed our band, we decided on what to name the band. We finally settled on The Devil Wants Peace. It was ironic and shouted out to rock haters. We then decided to start recording our first album. Uncle Bob's friend, Ben, agreed to be our producer. After the recording sessions, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Stan asked, "John, are you all right?" I said, "I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You look like you're in pain." I said, "Yeah, I'm having a little pain in my right side. I guess it's where I fell down the stairs this morning." He said, "Look,...

Ready to Rock
One day, I was strumming on my guitar. The phone rang. Uncle Bob answered it. He then said, "John, it's for you." I answered the phone. It was Peter. He asked, "Can you and Allen come over?" I said, "I can. I don't know about Allen." Peter said, "If you can, bring your guitars. I have a surprise for you." I said, "Okay." I went over to Allen's, and he was able to come. Allen asked, "What's the occasion?" I said, "Peter sinabi that he had a surprise for us." Allen said, "I like surprises." We arrived at Peter's, and there was another guy with him. I jokingly asked, "What's Frank...

Graduation
The susunod day, I graduated from high school. Before the ceremony, I talked with Allen, Peter, and Liz. I asked, "Are you all ready?" They all said, "Yes." Peter asked, "Are you ready?" I said, "Ready as I'll ever be!" During the ceremony, we all made animal noises, even though we were told not to. Maybe it was immature, but Mr. Ross was just asking for it when he said, "Don't make animal noises during graduation." He should have known that's what everyone would do. During his speech, he said, "You've been waiting for this for the past seventeen years, or eighteen for some of you."...

Sometimes You Have to Stand Up to Authority
One day, I was sitting in a tree. I just felt like doing it for some reason. A few minutos later, Allen and Peter came by. The original reason for them coming was so that Peter could ipakita me his skills on the bass. When he saw me in the tree, he asked, "What are you doing, mate?" I said, "Sitting in a tree." Allen asked, "Why are you sitting in a tree?" I said, "I just felt like it." I admit that it was quite fun, at least until a bird pooped on me. I said, "Okay, that's disgusting. I'm coming down now." Unfortunately, I slipped coming down. Allen...

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a gatas carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

You Didn't Care About Me When I Was With You. Why Do You Care About Me Now?
The susunod day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what you have or don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought you a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the kalye with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what you need, a way to relax. Have you ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

Why Do You Expect Me to Help You? Did You Forget What You Have Done to Me?
It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

I Didn't Know We Go to the Same School
One day, I went to the local park, and I brought my gitara with me. I sang "Here Comes the Sun" sa pamamagitan ng the Beatles. Then, somebody came up to me and started pag-awit along. He had long hair like me, but he had a beard, and his hair was darker than mine. He appeared to be around my age, sixteen or so. When I finished the song, I said, "You're a good singer." He said, "Thank you. You're quite good yourself." I said, "Thanks." He asked, "Did I disturb you?" I said, "Oh, no, no, no! I pag-ibig it when people sing along." He smiled. After a moment of silence, he said,...

First araw of School
It was my first araw at Redshore High School. pasko Vacation was officially over. I was a little nervous about my new school mates, fearing that I wouldn't be accepted, ibingiay my treatment in Devil's Garden. The kids of Redshore were friendly to me, or so it seemed. At the end of the day, some of them said, "Hey, John, slide down the rails of the staircase." I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and I initially refused. One of them said, "Come on! It'll make you cool." Of course, I wanted to be cool, I mean, who wouldn't? I attempted it, but I unfortunately slipped off...

Introduction
It was my first araw in Redshore, California. It was December 26, 1987. Because of all the abuse I was taking in Devil's Garden, I decided to live with my uncle, Bob. Uncle Bob worked at the local bar, Alien Slim. It was usually just me in the house. Uncle Bob never married, never had children, and didn't even have a girlfriend. He never had pets, either, for he was allergic. Luckily, I didn't ilipat to Redshore empty-handed. I brought my gitara and my extensive record collection with me. Thanks to Pastor Thomas, I no longer had my dog, Beatle. My only solace was my record collection,...

Go Cut Your Hair!
One day, John decided to go to the park to spark change in Devil's Garden. He thought that maybe his plan would work in the park. It obviously wasn't going to work at the church. With his mother's permission, he went to the park with his guitar. He stood near the statue of the town's founder and sang a song that he wrote called "Brainwashed sa pamamagitan ng Corruption." Unfortunately, the song did not get any praise. His school mates, save for Randall, began throwing rocks at him. They even shouted, "Go cut your hair!" John begged them to stop. He cried out, "This is not a message of hatred!...

John's Dream
One night, John had a dream. He was sitting in his bedroom, all alone. He heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. He said, "Hi. Can I help you?" The man standing at the door said, "Hello, there. I'm John Lennon." Teenaged John laughed and said, "Yeah right!" Lennon stood firm. He said, "What you are seeing here is my spirit." John said, "If you're truly John Lennon, come in here and prove it." Lennon played the gitara and sang "Imagine." John said, "Okay, works for me." Lennon asked the boy his name. "John," he replied. After chatting for a few minutes, John said, "I knew...
