A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I do think that if you read something you should review it even if it's, "Excellent chapter" or "Update Soon."
Summary- The gang finally goes to the Smashing Pumpkins concert that they have been anticipating for ages and Amy is amazed at the city of Chicago. Stephanie writes a letter to someone telling them something she's been meaning to say since the beginning.

Starbucks Coffee
Come Out And Play- The Offspring
Stephanie Kelso sat in a Starbucks sipping on one of there many coffee's to wake her up. It felt like four in the morning seeing as she hadn't caught up with jet lag yet. She yawned and wrote down some more words on a piece of paper she was sending back to Point Place. She signed it and stuck it in an envelope. She licked the envelope and addressed it. She put a stamp on the envelope and got up out of the chair. She walked outside and down the street. She told her host parents she was going out for some coffee. She found a mailbox and dropped the letter into it and walked off.

Forman Basement
Even Flow- Pearl Jam
Ryan Forman dozed on the couch while the television played static. Aimée Cheever, or as she liked to be called, Amy, stared up at the ceiling thinking. "Hmm, I wonder what Chicago's like." she thought. She smiled and thought about back home in France. It was nice there but Point Place was in a class of it's own. It was a wonderful little town in Wisconsin but she loved the big cities so much. She got up off the cot and walked out of the room. She was headed up to the bathroom so she could take a shower but was slightly distracted by the fact that Ryan was lying on the couch without his shirt on. She smiled slightly and passed by and headed up the stairs.
She walked through the kitchen and looked out through the sliding glass door at the sun. "Sure is bright." She walked through the living room and up the stairs to the bathroom. In she went and about 20 minutes later she resurfaced out with a towel wrapped around her body that covered everything from just below her shoulders to halfway down the upper part of her legs. She headed back down without waking anyone up. As she walked back down into the basement her towel started to come undone. Right as Micheal Kelso busted through the door Amy's towel fell off.
"Whoa!" Amy yelled as the towel came off, then to look up and see that Kelso was staring at her. She screamed and woke Ryan up.
"What the-" he said and saw Amy and then Kelso. "Get out of here Kelso!" he yelled at him. Amy wrapped the towel quickly around her and ran quickly into the small room in the basement.
Steven Hyde sat in the living room of the house he could barely afford now that he was divorced while Morrison Hotel played on the record player next to him. Time had come for him to get past that fact yet it still blew through his veins with a cold breeze.

Interstate I-43
Everlong- Foo Fighters
"Damn it Justin! Get your foot out of my face!" Tyler yelled.
"Well I would if Jennifer would just move up front already!" he replied.
"Hey! It's not my problem that I can't ride shotgun in the Vista Cruiser!" she yelled into Justin's ear.
"Hey! Shut it back there!" Eric yelled. "Do you want me to turn this car around?"
"You won't do it." Justin said. "You never do."
"He's got a point Forman." Hyde said. "You are a weak little man who won't stay committed to anything unless sex is involved."
Nearly two hours later the group of nine filed out of the cramped car into a parking garage. "Damn that was a long ride." Ryan said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I think I've got whiplash."
"Yeah well I've got ass whiplash." Christian said. "And it isn't too fun." Down the stairs of the parking garage the nine filed with thoughts of whimsy running through Amy's head.
"Wow!" she thought. "This is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's so much more exciting than Paris." Amy tilted her head high up into the air looking around at all the different skyscrapers breathing in the exhaust filled air.
"You guys want to go to Grant Park?" Tyler asked.
"Fine with me." MJ replied. The rest of the gang all nodded in agreement and walked off toward Grant Park.
"Remember!" Eric yelled as the group walked away. "The doors open at 6:30! If you aren't there we'll think you were raped!" Amy turned her head toward Jennifer.
"Is he always like this?" she asked.
"Pretty much." Jennifer replied. "He's a real loser. I'm surprised Ryan didn't turn out like him."
"Shut up Jen." said Ryan. "At least my mom isn't a shallow ditz."
"Ooh, low blow Forman." Justin added. The group continued on down the street and crossed in front of the Essex Hotel and sat down on a large statue of a man riding a horse.
Buddy Holly- Weezer
The group of friends had wondered out of the park and into the Field Museum and looked through numerous rooms looking at different things in each. In one room rare gems and jewels. Another about dinosaurs with giant skeletons of Triceratops' and Tyrannosaurus Rex's. Finally they made their way down into the ancient Egypt exhibits. They wandered through the long winding maze of walkways and finally sat down in a cafeteria, of sorts, halfway though.
"This place is a madhouse." Justin gagged. "I don't know if I can walk anymore man. I might die tonight."
"Aw, quit your whining." MJ said. "You whine more than a little kid who's mom wont let him get a toy he wants."
"Shut up!" he replied.
"Make me." She smirked and cocked an eyebrow.
"Dammit MJ."
"Ha. I win."
"MJ, just shut it."
"I win!"
"Dammit MJ."
"I Win. I Win. I Win."
"Do I have to hit you to shut you up?"
"No." She dropped her head down so she was staring at her hands folded in her lap. Her nails were painted dark green and had been clipped the night before.
In a few minutes the gang got back up and continued walking through the exhibit and made their way back outside to the giant set of stairs outside of it. "Anyone know what time it is?" Tyler asked.
"It's 6:00." MJ replied. Her eyes widened. "Shit! We're not gonna make it!" The friends ran to the nearest subway station and got on the subway that was headed towards the Metro, which was just a few blocks away from Wrigley Field. They stood in the cramped subway train. Obviously a Cubs game was going on tonight at the same time and they just happened to get on the subway at the same time as all the fans going to the game were getting on. So after a 30 minute ride they got off and dashed down N Clark Street to the Metro. They got their tickets out of their pockets and got into the venue.
They had been a bit late seeing as half the floor was filled already. They stood in the middle of the floor waiting patiently for the Pumpkins to come on. At around 9:00, after the opening acts, out they came. They ripped into a lively performance of Muzzle. At around 11:30 the band bid their farewells and headed off stage after a second encore. The crowd pleaded for more, even if it just meant one song. They yelled, "Silverfuck!" at the top of their lungs wanting to hear the eight minutes and forty-three seconds monster that always left ears deaf for days. No additional song was played and the crowed moped out somewhat depressed but happy at the same time. "You guys want to wait out by the buses to see if they show?" Ryan asked.
"I do," Amy squealed. Jennifer laughed at Amy's apparent glee in wanting to see anybody in the band. So they stood outside by the tour buses waiting for someone to come out until 1 AM. That was the point in which they gave up hope and headed back to the hotel in which they were staying at for the night.
As Jennifer walked into the hotel room she collapsed on the bed staring at a blank wall. "God," she said. "I'm so hot and sweaty." She pushed her hair back and wrapped it up into a ponytail.
