OMG, I got the best fanfic gift ever! :D If you go to the M-Rated section of Guitar Hero, there is a story from Amanda Hart (who's the author of Intrinsic Value) who made a lemon with Johnny and Rose, and if you like lemons, come check it out! The story is Stories From The Vault in chapter three specifically.

And yes, this is the last chapter of Rose With Its Thornz. But don't worry; there's a sequel coming! :) It's based on the Career Mode in Guitar Hero 5, meaning no cut scenes there, but locations in the USA since they are on a national tour. Now, without further ado- Oh, let's just get to the last chapter! ^_^

~Epilogue: The Rock Show~

Days passed by as they normally do. When Rose faced against Lou, she thought that she would fail her band members. In her room, she looked at her guitar, fully fixed as if it never even happened. Is Lou really gone forever, or just immortal since he is the Devil of Rock? She didn't want the others to worry, so she stood up and went to open her door, but someone was already outside of it: Johnny.

"Hey, I was making sure that you were okay," he said truthfully. Rose herself never really thought if she's okay or not. Battling someone who is evil and very dangerous seemingly scarred her. When she looked at Johnny's eyes, she felt safe.

"I'm okay, I guess," she replied, looking away. Last time she was alone with him, she declined the kiss he was going to give her. A smile from the singer turned the tables for Rose later.

"I got another call from Red Rose Records. The gig's tonight, so you might want to prepare yourself, we'll be playing a punk rock song which you and I prefer." This time, it was her turn to smile.

"Is that so?" Rose replied. "Will it be the best rock show they will ever receive?" she asked crossing her arms.

"You bet," he told her.

Backstage was just extraordinaire. Not a lot of people are watching them play live, but it would be a blast to feel the rocking air while performing.

"Wow... For the first time, I feel so nervous," Rose said watching the people who will watch them to see if they are worthy for signing in. A hand went to her shoulder, Izzy's to be exact. He smiled at her, hoping to give her comfort.

"It's only one song," he told her. "Besides, you love playing it on guitar."

Rose nodded. Pandora, twirling her drum sticks, also smiled. "Izzy's right. I'm probably going home with legs all useless after this." Knowing by the fact it is a punk rock song, this one in particular is a fast tempo type of drumming.

As for Johnny, he smiled for his friend. "You saved our souls after all, so this one will be in our honor for you." The guitarist smiled in return, looking at the platform they will be playing in front of the few people.

"Let's do this, then," Rose said with confidence. Walking like in royalty, Knights of Hearts went in their positions in performing, the drums, bass, and guitar starting off the song.

"The Rock Show" - blink-182

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw her...there

She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and I made it I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin explanation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

with the girl at the rock show
with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight)
with the girl at the rock show

The performance was flawless, perfection. Out of nowhere, there were fans watching, screaming in awe. The people working for the record label were impressed as well. Looking at each other, the four grinned and started out another song. They don't need Lou Cipher, they need rock.

I want to say thank you for tuning into my story. :) It was a lot of fun, especially using Guitar Hero 3 as reference. For the following who reviewed:

And to those who favorited my story, thank you so much. ^_^ I would get more reviews, but since Guitar Hero has a small fan base here, that's okay. :P As for the sequel, here's what will be included:

References from Guitar Hero 5 (The band will be on national tour.), Drama (more likely because of Casey XD yes, she will be returning) Romance (*cough* lemon will be there ;)), more songs, and humor.

Be sure to look out for it when it comes out! Once again, thank you for reading my story! ^_^
