The Three Musketeers

(No POV)
Back at the recording studio, The Who were having a hard time writing songs and were thinking of finding a temporary guitarist for now.

"Hey buddies! I wrote a song, read it NOW!" Keith said jumping up and down like a child.

Roger and John grabbed the sheet and began to read Moonie's song. They already had unsure looks on their faces.

"Come on, read it guys!" Keith whined.

"Fine"

A song by Keith Moon
I may not know how to write a song
But I know that I'm never wrong
We need Pete
He smells like feet
He keeps up the beat
Very neat and very sweet
He's pal and I miss him so much.
We need Pete.

"So what do you guys think?"

"Ummm..." Roger and John were quiet for a second.

"Keith, I know you miss Pete... I miss him too. But he told us that we have to move on for now." Roger put his hand on Keith's shoulder.

"Well, I liked it because it rhymes." John said quietly.

Keith laughed and then went to his drums.

John grabbed his bass and played a simple tune.
Keith followed, playing the drums.

Roger took a break and went outside to get some fresh air. He thought about playing guitar but he wasn't used to playing it on stage. He thought about finding a temporary guitarist. Eric Clapton? Maybe. George Harrison? He still has The Beatles. Pete's younger brother, Simon? Too young. He didn't know. He thought about leaving London to find Pete. Roger had so many things in his mind. It was almost the New Years Concert and they haven't found a guitarist yet.

Roger looked at the sky. It was a lovely day outside and it was perfect weather.
He looked closely and saw a small figure falling from the sky. It got closer and closer to him, it was going to land on him. Roger had to do something.

And to his luck, he found a mattress on the streets. He took it so the falling person to land on it safely.

"Ahhhhh!" The person screamed and finally landed safely on the mattress.

"Are you okay mister? How did this happen?"
Roger tried to wake up the man.

"Urgh ugh... Pete is that you?" The man said still kind of woozy.

"Pete? Wait what?" Roger yelled.

John and Keith heard the yelling and came running outside.

"Hey Rog, what did you do to this innocent man?" Keith joked.

"He fell from the sky... but I heard him say something about Pete. Hey, you don't think he's talking about our Pete?"

John and Keith raised their shoulders.

"Hey mister? What's your name?" Keith asked, his face very close to the man.

"I'm Godfather... And I need to tel-"

He was interrupted by Keith's laughter. "Your name is... Godfather? Oh lord, I'd hate my parents if they named me that!"

John nudged him on the stomach.
"Owwww! How rude!" Keith whined.

The Godfather looked at Keith's shirt which had the Who's logo on it.

"Are you three lads, The Who?" The Godfather smiled.

"Yeah... But we aren't taking autographs right now!" John said sarcastically.

"We are missing one member, Pete Townshend. He left somewhere and he didn't tell us why... We are having a difficult time right now, as you can tell." Roger said with his head down.

The Godfather's smile got wider.
"Well, you three are in luck because I know where Pete is heading to!"

Roger, John, and Keith's eyebrows raised in shock.
"Really? Where?" They all asked at the same time.

"This city in the sky, called Tommy's World. He wants to see the Pinball Wizard." The Godfather said.

"You mean that weirdo that Pete got into a fight with at the Christmas party? Does Pete want revenge or somethin'? Haha!" Keith laughed, John began to laugh too.

"Kind of. Pete was cursed by the Pinball Wizard and the only person that can cure him is the person who gave him the curse."

"I want to go see Pete and help him get cured!" Keith said. Roger and John agreed.

"Woah woah woah. This is too dangerous for the three of you. I don't want you guys to deal with all of this madness." The Godfather warned them.

"You think this is madness? Have you even lived with Keith Moon?" Roger said. Keith couldn't agree more.
"Come on, we are the three musketeers! We can do this!" Keith said. John laughed.
Roger, John, and Keith begged and begged until they annoyed the Godfather.

"Fine! Fine! Pack some important things you need and follow me."

Roger packed enough food to feed all of them. John packed clothing and safety equipment. Keith packed his Beach Boys records and explosives.

"We'll need these especially." Keith said smirking.

The Godfather introduced them to the flying cloud. Luckily, he had a backup cloud.

"We are taking the longer way because the shortcut Pete and I took was far too dangerous. There was a thunderstorm, that's why I fell off the sky. Pete made it safely."

Roger looked relieved. "So, how did you meet Pete?"

The Godfather told him the story about Pete's dream as Keith and John were getting ready.
Roger was speechless. He decided to eat some chips that he packed in his bag.

"OK WE ARE READY FREDDIE!" Keith yelled as he and John got on the cloud.

"My name is Godfather"

"Whatever man"

The Godfather rolled his eyes and started to fly the cloud.
They were finally off to see their pal, Pete.
