*********************************************
Hey there. You might wonder who I am? I'm gonna come out and tell you plain and simple. I am Willow Aaron Rosenberg. The undisputed queen of Rock 'n' Roll. I bet right now your sitting with your mouth wide open, I am right?? Yeah I know I am. It's true I am Willow and I am very much still alive. No matter what you think or heared, I am alive and well after 26 years of being ' dead '. I thought it was about time I told my side of my life. I've read books after books and find them boring and untrue. So from now on, I am going to tell you what really happened in my life and how I become this world wide rock star....and how I faked my own death to get a normal life.
1 - From the moment I was born:
Willow Aaron Rosenbreg, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Ira and Shelia Rosenberg in a two room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. Her twin sister, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Willow to grow up as an only child.
Tupelo, Mississippi, 1945
We see a 10 year old Willow sitting on a old sofa. In her arms is a battered guitar. She is trying to find out how it works. Then from behind her mother, Shelia walks into the living room. We can also seeing her father, Ira reading a paper.
Shelia: Willow, did you like your christmas gift?
Willow: Well mama, I wanted a bike
Ira: Willow, you know we cant buy you that bike
Shelia: Baby, you like the guitar and you learn to play it good. And maybe next year we can get you that bike. But soon you better get ready for dinner, ok baby?
Willow: Yeah mama
Then Willow goes back to playing. Ira watches his daugther with a smile across her face. Willow looks like she confused. Then Willow gets a note, smiles and looks up to see her father watching her, with a grin on his face.
The next day we see Willow, wearing old jeans and a jumper. She is running into the woods and then into a graveyard. Willow ends up standing in front of her twin sister's grave, it reads
Jesse Garon Rosenbreg - Jan 8, 1935
Willow looks at the grave, blows a kiss before running off back into the woods. She knew there was a river where she played. But what she doesnt see if a older girl following her. Willow arrives at the river, stands on a rock and looks into the water.
Willow: Merry christmas Jesse. I got you some sweets. I think its gonna rain again, dont you? I wish you were with us last nite. We had a grand time
But from behind her, the dark headed girl walks over. You can tell she's a bully
Faith: Crazy old Willow is talking to herself again!
Willow jumps up. She turns to face her ex friend, Faith
Willow: I wasnt talking to myself!
Faith: Who then crazy?
Willow: I was talking to my twin sister, Jesse.
Faith: You dont have a twin sister stupid!
Willow: I do! Will I did once!
Faith: Crazy! mama's girl! mama's girl!
Willow: I am not!
Willow dives at Faith. They both hit and kick each other but Faith was too big and strong. She pulls Willow onto the ground and hits her in the face. Willow rolls over, holding her face and crying softly. Faith gets up, rubs her hand and smiles down at Willow.
Faith: That will teach you, mama's girl!
A few hours later and Willow is running home. A storm had began and Willow was wet from head to toe. She can hear her mother crying out her name. Willow arrives home, Shelia pulls her inside and locks the front door. You can tell Shelia is worried and scared about her daughter.
Shelia: Willow, where were you? I've been calling you for ages! Never worry me like that again! What's wrong with your eye, honey?
Willow: I fell over mama
Shelia: Now, Willow never lie to your mother. Did you get into another fight??
Willow: Yes mama. But it wasnt my fault! Really it wasnt!
Willow starts to cry. Shelia picks her daugther up, places Willow on her knee and rock's her back and forth.
Shelia: Now come on. I believe you sweetie
Willow: I got you some flowers mama
Shelia: They are very sweet. I'll put them im some water soon. Now where were you?
Willow: The fight was coz of Jesse
Shelia: So you went and talked to your sister again?
Willow: Yeah. It makes me feel real good
Shelia: Yeah it makes me feel good too
Willow: I just dont wanna be half a person
Shelia: Now dont think of it like that! They say when a twin dies, the other becomes a stronger and bigger person. They have all the love of their twin
Willow smiles, snuggles into her mother's chest and smiles. When she's with her mama, she feels safe and warm. Like no one can touch her and life is great. Later in the night, we see Willow in her bedroom. She is standing in front of her mirror, with her guitar in hand. Willow is singing to herself while playing softly. She can understand what the power is now.
A number of years down the line, we see Humes High School. We are inside the girl's bathroom. There are a group of girls, one being Faith all watching Willow. She is playing with her hair in the mirror. Faith starts to yell out names so Willow starts to walk away, but once again Faith jumps her. She makes her friends pin Willow to the wall while she starts to cut off Willow's hair. Then they hear the bathroom door open. In walks, Buffy Summers. She is the girl who looks after girls who are being hurt. Faith turns to face Buffy and then drops the act. Faith and her girls all leave the bathroom.
Willow: Thanks
Buffy: Anytime, say whats your name?
Willow: Oh yeah....Im Willow. Willow Rosenbreg
Buffy: Willow??
Willow: Whats wrong with that?? So whats yours?
Buffy: Buffy Summers
Willow: Buffy?? And you laughed at my name
Buffy: Yeah I know and I'm sorry. But next time, take care
Willow: I sure will, thanks Buffy
They smile before Buffy walks away. Willow then heads outside her the break. She get's her food and her guitar. She sits under a tree and starts to play ' Good Rocking Tonight '. After a little while, Buffy and her male friend walk outside. They see Willow playing and singing and walk over to have a close look. Willow's voice is wonderful and Buffy cant help but smile. She's never heared anything like it before. Then Faith walks out, looks over and gives a small smile. She finds it cool. Then the bell rings, Willow stands up and walks in with Buffy and her friend.
Later that night, Willow arrives home. Her mama is waiting for her with some food. They all sit at the table and had some dinner.
Shelia: Here you go sweetie
Willow lifts the top of her sandwich up and shakes her head
Willow: More peanut butter mama
Shelia: Alright, baby girl
Willow: Second place this month daddy. This place sucks, it really does
Ira: I know honey. It will get better soon
Willow: I'm gonna buy us a house one of these days. A huge house mama, you wait and see
Shelia: I know you will sweetie
Ira: You should go into Crown Electrics. You would be better off there
Shelia: But wouldnt it be great to have a singer in the family. Willow could become a huge star one day
Ira: I never heared of a singer worth jack!
The next day Willow and Buffy meet up at school. They are walking down the hallaway, just chatting. They had become friends after Buffy saved her life.
Buffy: I loved you singin the other day, Willow
Willow: Really? You did?
Buffy: Infact I've never see anyone dressed like you or anyone who got hair like yours?
Willow: My mama tells me red is the color of passion or maybe I am just a witch
Buffy: Willow I have something to ask you.
Willow: Just name it, Buffy
Buffy: Will you sing in the talent show?
Willow: Oooooh no way! Why do you do that when you know I'm chicken?
Buffy ( smiles ): You said to name it
Willow ( sulks ): No way! Dont make me do it!
But Buffy got her way. Later in the week, Willow was waiting in the wings for the talent show. On stage was her friend, Xander. He was telling jokes but falling onto his butt. Off stage, Willow stands next to her teacher, Miss Stone. Willow is soooo scared and feeling a little sick too. In the crowd is Buffy and also Faith and the whole schoo. Faith had now become a sort of body guard to Willow. Also Buffy was friends with the ex bully. Once Xander has done his part, he walks off with his head down.
Xander: See, Will I warmed them up for you
Willow: You were great Xander! I enjoyed it alot
Miss Stone: Its your go, Willow. Now go on and show them what you got!
Willow: Wish me luck??
Both Xander and Miss Stone pat her on the back. She is totally scared to death and feels like she's about to be sick. See can see Buffy and Faith smiling at her. So she slowly gets up to the mic, takes her guitar in hand and takes a very deep breath. She picked on of her all time songs to sing ' Old Shep '.
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim
Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home
When she ends the song, everyone starts to yell and scream. Willow walks off stage, feeling shocked and wondering what was going on. Once off stage, Xander takes her into his arms and gives her a huge bear hug. Her teach is going mad and yelling for more. The whole place were on their feet and screaming for Willow.
Miss Stone: You did it Willow! You won the encore! Now go back out there and give them another song
Willow: They really like me, Miss Stone. They really like me
Willow then walks back onto the stage. The hall is still on their feet, yelling for more. Buffy and Faith are jumping up and down. Willow is still kinda in shock by all this. She began to sing ' Good Rocking Tonight ' and the place goes wild. Once its over, Willow finds the acceptance wonderful. After the gig, Willow asked Buffy, Faith and Xander over for dinner. Her mama is so happy that her daugther won and the dinner was great fun. Once they all went home, Willow went into her room. After a short while, her father walks in to see her.
Ira: What you doing Willow? Dreaming about yourself? So now your out of school, what do you wanna do?? Do you wanna work?
Willow: I wanna get a job so mama doesnt have to work anymore
Ira ( smiles ): Thats good. I know there's some jobs going at Crown Electrics right now
Willow: I want to become a singer, daddy. I want to sing and become famous
Ira: Willow, you can do whatever you want. I know I joke about you becoming a singer but I want you to be happy, baby girl. Me and your mother will help you in any way we can
Willow ( smiles ): Thanks daddy. But I am gonna get a job so I can help mama. Then maybe my singing will take off
Ira: That sounds great, Willow
They hug and Ira kisses Willow forehead. Willow watches him leave and then picks up her guitar. She places it on her lap and plays a small song. Willow smiles and wonders if her singing will ever become real for her. Then she gets an idea how about she can get it off the ground.

and
to tell them that the BEATLES were coming? Dear God... the Beatles... well... they're okay, but they're not Elvis, and they sure ain't Willow. I loved the chapter. Oh, and that's much better with their adjusted ages. Kudos to you.
