Disguises Disguises...
Godfather's POV
The four of us landed on a small park in Tommy City. I looked around in awe, smelling the fresh air. Ahhh it's great to be back home, not having to worry about thunderstorms and almost falling to my death. But now, we have to find Pete and help him. Who knows where he is right now?
Kids, teenagers, adults, and some elderly people's eyes were all on us.
Keith looked around confused. "Why is everyone lookin' at us?"
"Well this is Tommy City, and since you guys created Tommy... everybody knows who you are. Besides y'all are famous rock stars!"
Keith giggled and waved hello to the crowd of people staring at them. John was winking at some ladies and Roger was in his own world, thinking about something.
"Aye John! I think you made those girls faint, all of them are on the ground!" Keith patted John's back and laughed.
"Boys this is no time for girls, we have to find Pete!" I rushed them behind a building, so the fans won't see them.
"Where these disguises, you 3 (and Pete) are really popular here, next to Tommy."
I passed Roger a large hat, to cover his curls and part of his face. I gave John a blonde wig and some shades. "Hey! I used to be blonde!" He chuckled while putting on the wig. I gave Keith a large mustache that covered his mouth. "Noice" He snapped his fingers and pretended to shoot guns with his hands.
I looked at the 3 of them and shook my head. We continued walking along the street and I was relieved that no one recognized them.
Now, where would Pete be? Would he be heading to the Pinball Wizard all by himself? No. Pete is smarter than that. I thought even more, but I was interrupted by my grumbling stomach. Roger spoke up. "Let's have something to eat..." He pointed to a diner across the street. "Look o'er there!"
We walked inside the diner. We were introduced by a short, middle aged man. "Welcome to The Diner, you 4 gentlemen are lucky! This place closes in an about an hour." He pulled out 4 menus from a cabinet and walked us to our table. "The waitress will be here in a couple of minutes to get you started with your drinks."
The man walked away, leaving the 4 of us alone. "You guys can take off your disguises, there's not that many people here" I said to them while looking at the menu.
Roger took off the big hat and fixed his golden curly hair. John took off the wig but not the shades. "I look groovy with these on" Keith kept on the large mustache. "It makes me look much older and smart" He was grooming his mustache, giggling.
We were interrupted by the sound of yelling at the front desk. "WHERE WERE YOU? YOU'RE LATE! THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME BEING LATE!" The man that brought us to our table was yelling at a young woman. "I-I was visiting a friend of mine and well... something odd happened..." She was interrupted by the man. "SALLY, YOU KNOW YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO SKIP WORK TIME!" She looked down. "I'm sorry... I won't do it again. I promise."
The man put his hand on her shoulder, looking a bit calmer than before. "Okay... Hey I'm sorry I yelled at you but I thought you were better than to do that, I don't want to have to fire you... you understand?"
She nodded her head. "Alright, now get to work! Take those 4 men's orders!" He pointed to us and we all turned away quickly.
The young woman walked towards us. "Hello, my name's Sally. Do you all know what you want?" She said holding a small notebook.
I asked for a glass of water and so did Roger. John asked for a cup of tea. "Do you guys have beer?" Keith asked, still grooming his mustache.
She shook her head. "Uh no we don't have any alcohol o'er here, I'm sorry mister."
Keith sighed and asked for a cup of tea instead. Good thing there was no alcohol here or else we would be in lots of "Keith" trouble. For food, we all asked for cheeseburgers.
Before Sally left, Roger asked her if she was okay. Sally looked really tired and she had a bruise on her right arm. "I'm fine" She started to walk away, but then Roger stopped her. "You look exhausted... And what happened to your arm?"
"Oh, something happened when I visited a friend of mine... Lots of weird things have been going on this week!" Roger smiled a little. "Same with us! We came a long journey to get here... You see, we are looking for a good friend of ours, he needs help."
She nodded her head. "I hope you'll find him, you seem to care a lot for him." She walked away and headed to the kitchen.
"Rogers gotta girlfriend!" Keith teased.
Roger hit him in the back of the head. "You fool! I've already got a girlfriend! Besides, I was just being nice."
Keith was rubbing the back of his head. John laughed at Keith. He turned to face me. "So, Godfather. Where are we gonna stay? ...it is getting quite late already."
I looked at John and thought for a moment. "I don't know. I live on the other side of the city, which is VERY far from here" I looked outside the window and saw a building with neon lights that said MOTEL. "We can stay there." I pointed to the building across the street.
Sally came back with the drinks and set them down on the table. "The cheeseburgers will be ready in 8 minutes." She smiled at all of us and then looked at Roger closely. "What's wrong Sally?" He asked.
"Sorry, it's that you look familiar..." The 4 of us smiled a little. "...You look like a friend of mine that I saw not long before I came here." She then left again.
Keith and John laughed. I laughed a little bit, not trying to look like a fool. "You thought she recognized you as the famous Roger Daltrey! Haha!" Roger rolled his eyes.
Minutes later, Sally came back with our cheeseburgers. Finally!
Right when she set the plate down, I released my inner monster and finished that cheeseburger in less than a minute. Keith got cheese and bread crumbs all over his fake mustache.
When we finished, we were all groaning and rubbing our full stomachs. We burped a few times too.
We left enough money to pay for our food and drinks on the table. "Thanks for the delicious meal!" I told the man and Sally. It looks like they were leaving this place too. It was 10:00 pm.
"Closing time!" The man shouted. Sally got her jacket from the coat hanger and put it on. She left the diner, behind us.
"So where are you staying for the night?" She asked us. I pointed to the motel across the street. "That's where I live too! I work at the diner to make money. When I have enough money, I'll buy my own house!"
"That's sounds great!" I said to her.
Roger's POV
"Sally, who was the friend of yours that I reminded you of?" I asked curiously.
We walked inside the motel and Godfather went to the front desk to get the room. Keith and John were behind him. I was talking with Sally.
"Oh, his name is Tommy. He just happens to be the ruler of this world. You two have such a similar face it's scary!" She chuckled.
I nodded and waved goodbye to Sally as she headed to her room. Perhaps I can meet this Tommy...
"Wait!" Sally said walking towards me. "I never got your name!"
"Roger" I said shaking her hand.
Sally's POV
I paused for a second, thinking about something. I heard that name before along with 2 other names. Roger, John, and Keith... Could they be who I think they are?
My thoughts were interrupted by Roger. "Sally can you hear me?" He said waving his hand in front of my eyes. "Mmm yeah."
"Alright!" The Godfather got our attention. "Our room number is 515, 5th floor."
Roger turned to face me. "Well, I got to go. It was nice talking to you Sally." He waved goodbye to me and I waved back looking confused.
Godfather's POV
We went inside the elevator. The elevator had music too.
The 3 boys looked at each other with beaming smiles on their faces. "Pinball Wizard!" They all said loudly at the same time.
I looked around nervously. "Where? Where is he?"
Keith looked at me confused. "No! The song!" The 3 of them started singing along with the song.
"Ohhh." I laughed at myself. I joined in with them.
Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall...
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
The elevator door opened and we were on the 5th floor. 500, 501... 511, 513, 515! Right here!
I opened the door and turned on the lights. It was one small room with a bathroom. I looked at the boys and they all had disappointing looks on there faces. They are probably used to living the rich life!
"It's just going to be for a couple of days, right?" Roger asked looking inside the bathroom.
"Or until we find Pete..." John said.
"I CALL THIS BED!" Keith jumped on the nearest bed and turned on the television.
"Godfather, you can sleep on the other bed. Me and John will sleep on the floor since Keith don't like sharing." I smiled and thanked him. "And also because you're an old man." I grunted. He laughed and set up his sleeping bag he brought. John forgot to bring one, so he took some pillows from Keith's bed and borrowed a blanket from me since I had like 3 of them.
Roger was the first one to fall asleep. John and Keith were watching some cartoon about cavemen. "Yabadabadoo!" The caveman yelled. Keith laughed.
I looked at the clock. 11:32 pm. My eyelids were getting heavy and I began to yawn. Okay I need to sleep. "Goodnight John! Goodnight Keith!" I whispered. The next thing I knew, they were both snoring. John's mouth was opened and Keith slept like a puppy.
I quietly walked to the television, not wanting to wake them up. I turned off the television and then the room was dark. I closed my eyes and went into a deep sleep.
Finally, peace and quiet. Hopefully we'll find Pete by tomorrow.
