The Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 1Years upon years ago, a curious young boy ventured out into the forests of Evermore. The wind whipped at the golden locks of his hair, his deep blue eyes reflecting the hot summer sun. He gazed up at giant oak trees and clung onto their branches. Climbing higher up he got a view of the misty mountains ahead, it was so foggy the child could barely see straight. He liked it this way. Made the setting more adventurous, a page out the books he read. Stories about knights fighting to the death, wizards using their sorcery and magic to defeat the evil that lurked into the dark shadows of the night, fierce, fire breathing dragons that creeped into tThe Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 19 months ago in Settings

The Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 4Robert couldn't believe he was here, the plane ride was long but well worth it. His home for years, he had missed it so much growing up. The wooden cottage with the brick chimney, the stained glass windows. The woods outside...his own Forests of Evermore. Calling out to him, waiting for him. The stick that laid on the grass next to him. He eagerly snatched it, running throughout the forests. He laughed and swung at whatever he could, saving the world from immediate danger...he was ten years old again.

He was scaling a tree when he heard the gang waking up on the forest floor, he had long forgotten about them.

"I ought to kill both of them now. The last thing I see is John chasing Robert and they both disappear. We have NO chance of getting back to the states in time now..." Jimmy groaned as he hopelessly slumped on the side of the same oak tree they had started on.

The Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 2As the boy grew older, he moved away from the cottage and developed other interests. He loved Elvis Presley and tried to impersonate his style, using the window curtains for his stage. The world was his audience. He was very fond of the blues and studied it whenever he could. Other children who knew him found him to be strange. At school he would kept to himself, only spoke when spoken to. His mind would wander off, he would sometimes talk to himself or draw pictures on his desk or in his notebook. Teachers were worried about Robert, they didn't know what his academic strengths were or what he was planning to be.

The Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 10"You think the storm's blown over, Rob?" Jonesy asked Robert Plant, who gazed at the heavy black clouds that took over the sky.

"I don't know...I haven't heard a crack of thunder in awhile at least." He said.

"They say the seconds you count from the last crack you hear is how many miles the storm is away from you. If you don't hear it for long, it means it's changing course. If you hear it rapidly, it's only getting closer..." Jonesy said, but Page cut him off.

"I don't think that applies when you're IN the storm, Jonesy..."

"It just might..." He said. Anything could happen now, they had to be prepared for anything lady nature threw at thThe Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 107 months ago in Settings

The Misadventures of Led Zeppelin: Chapter 7Jimmy feared for his life as the ground around him started to vibrate, the vast sky around him now pitch black.

"ROBERT! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Jimmy hugged the trunk of the tree next to him, crouching down, knees over his head. Whatever this thing appeared to be, it would end up killing him. He would die out here in the woods, lost and alone, surrounded by everlasting darkness.

"Bonzo...Jonesy...help me...please..." His voice grew to a final whisper, he was certain this was the end. He squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the tidal waves to storm him, the beast to claw into his body, but he felt no wind.

"You know, if you stare at your hands long enough, they start to change colour... have you ever noticed that?"

Robert lifted his head to see if the bassist was paying attention. He had his head emerged in a book, as usual. Reading. Move along, Robert. Nothing to see here.

"Jonesy...?"

"Hm?" came a minimally-attentive grunt.

"Have you ever noticed that?"

"Noticed what?"

"Nevermind." Robert sighed. "Why are you always reading when I try to talk to you?"

"Why do you always try to talk to me when I'm reading?" Jonesy replied, without batting an eye.

Ever since I can remember, I have been one of those strange people who pick up pennies. I find them everywhere, on sidewalks, in stadiums, on the floors of grocery stores, in parking lots… you get the idea. And it is a rare occasion indeed if I fail to pick them up. Most people, when faced with a copper portrait of Lincoln down by their feet, even if they dropped it themselves, will simply ignore it. After all, you cannot buy anything with one cent; why even bother bending over? I, on the other hand, like to think I am a little more practical than most.

"That's a wrap." said Robert, putting down his headphones. "Everything's sounding good. I'm heading home."

"Already?" Jimmy muted his guitar with his palm. "It's only 11:00."

"We've been here since noon, Jimmy. I can't pull these all-nighters anymore, and besides..."

"Besides what? I thought you WANTED to do this reunion."

"Well yeah..." Robert sighed, "...but you know... it's Christmas eve tomorrow."

"I just want to lay out here forever..." Robert smiled as blue birds skimmed past him, on the verge of cutting through his hair.

"What does that cloud look like to you, Jimmy?" Jonesy asked, pointing at a particular round one that covered most of the sky, the sun setting behind it gave it a golden lining.

"It's messy and it entraps anything that goes near it...like Robert's perm."

"You shut up about my hair, you ripped out about a third of it off my skull already." Robert said, giving Jimmy a playful nudge.

Jimmy couldn't think straight. His mind was a blur of memories he had tried to lock away for years. Memories. That's all they were. Memories. How could a memory do harm? It couldn't, could it? Not unless one allowed it to.

He got up from the chair and paced back and forth. What the hell just happened? How many more dead drummers were going to come and torment him tonight? Fuck, if only Peter were here. Peter would set him right. He was the best manager ever to walk the earth. Peter would pull him up by the lapels and say, "Jimmy, get over yourself." He smiled a little. "Jimmy, get over yourself.

Even with the chaos, they couldn't help to think about back home every once in awhile they could. Back on England land, their own homes, their own beds. Their families who they haven't seen for who knows how long. The time to revisit the memories was short, they could only dream about it at night. Thinking people dreamed about living their lives was insanity to the group. Sure there was money, sure there was fame. Sure there were those massive crowds, but everyone was a stranger.

"Shoot."

"What does my missing a few Christmases have to do with damnation?" Jimmy swallowed. "That is... I'm not really sure I understand yet."

"Remember what I said back in the music shop, Page?"

"I guess so, yeah. Something about... uh... kindness to your fellow man."

"More importantly than that, Pagey, the significance of one action, and how it can leave behind a wake of influence."

"Yeah, the guitar-teacher to me, me to a billion fans. So what? That's not a bad thing, is it?"

Time Wastes You: A Led Zep Fic

It must have been about three in the morning. Little trickles of rain still slid down the glass of the window in the hotel room, even though the storm had ended hours ago. There was no thunder now, no rain, no lightning, but somehow, something woke Jonesy from his slumber. His eyes fluttered open, and he rolled over in his bed, drawing the blankets tightly around his thin frame. He muttered something inaudible to intangible people. Characters from a dream he was still half immersed in. It took him a moment to realize that he was awake. Jonesy stretched out his arms and heaved a relieved sigh when the joints in his arms cracked.

Jimmy was a wreck. The minutes ticked away, and not a sound came in from the streets outside. No cars, no wind... dead silence, and Jimmy had become prisoner of it all. He sat, plastered to the chair, his eyes fixed on the clock.

"Two minutes till one..." he thought, "...still no sign of any ghost." His heart raced with anticipation as he watched the hands on the clock steady edge toward the hour. Had he REALLY just seen Bonzo in the studio?

"Yeah?" grunted Peter.

"Don't take this the wrong way, Peter... but how did YOU manage to get into heaven?"
