"It's the special edition greatest hits album from that band you love!" said mum and dad in unison, hoping they'd got the right one. Ella did always manage to find a new band to be obsessed with every month and her parents were metaphorically sprinting to try to keep up with her.

*Having been sent to the headmaster's office for showing up to school with her hair dyed blood red, after a brief argument about whether hair itself is disruptive to learning, Ella decided to snatch a pair of scissors from the pot of pens on the desk and chop off all her hair.

*Problem solved.

"I hope I got the right one," said the boyfriend, sweating a little.
"I'm sure I'll love it, whatever it is, because it came from you!" smiled Ella.
"I don't think I can get it out of the car..." muttered the boyfriend.
"It's that big?!"
0927
Ella linked arms with her boyfriend as they walked across the front garden to the driveway.
There, at seven in the evening, in the quiet cul-de-sac lit by the pleasant March sunset, the boyfriend opened the boot of his car.
0934
"It's the drummer from that band you love," the boyfriend said helpfully, as the two teens looked down at the full-grown man tied up in the boot of the car. His raging obscenities muffled. Kicking anywhere he could, even with his ankles bound.
Ella's parents called the police.

The drummer sat shivering under a blanket in the back of the ambulance. The boyfriend already put in handcuffs and taken away.
Ella's parents trying to explain to their daughter why now was a bad time to be asking for an autograph.

MUSICIANS AROUND THE WEB APPLAUD DRUMMER'S BRAVERY

Haters on all social media platforms criticising the man for not having enough personal security guards to even start a game of chess.
Ignoring the fact that he is a time travelling ROCK GOD.

But this story is not about the drummer. Nor is it about the boyfriend. The boyfriend will certainly not be mentioned again. But the time travelling drummer? Who even knows. I don't, and I'm writing the story. Unpredictable bastards, those time travellers.

Storby read the newspaper story about the drummer who was kidnapped and understood that it was a terrible situation, but he didn't have as much sympathy because the man wasn't a member of HIS favourite band.
1007
"Good for him for getting free, but Stuck Nowhere are better." Story muttered to himself as he discarded the newspaper.
The pile of newspapers on the seat next to him was too high to reach, so instead Story threw it behind him.
And someone was sitting behind him.
*Storby. stupid autocorrect.
I can't even edit my own tweets???

"Excuse me," Ella started, standing up from her train seat and leaning forward to address the person who, until now, had just been the back of a head minding its own business.
"Did you just throw this newspaper at me, you- - -"

But all fight in her dissolved when she saw that her opponent was a boy around her age with sandy, unruly hair, a nice face, and a band t-shirt.
A band t-shirt of the band she had seen in concert mere hours before.
