I sighed, I didn't like Pennsylvania too much. There wasn't really anything to do. I peeked out into our crowd, it was very big. Too big I thought. I didn't think this small hall could hold all of these screaming people.

"Nick!"

I turned around to see my best friend Brian. I didn't have many friends thanks to touring. "What's up?" I asked adjusting my outfit.

"Gabriel is sick and can't dance tonight, meaning your going to have to switch with AJ and dance with Kelly, but Kelly's moves are different then Gab's and AJ has to teach Amanda the moves for him and you have to teach Kelly."

I'm surprised I understood my friend's gibberish. "How long do we have?" I asked.

"About an hour tops."

I nodded and took off the vest I had to wear for the opening act. I followed Brian to a back room we had for rehearsals. AJ was slowly teaching his girlfriend and famous singer Amanda the moves for the different acts. Good thing all of our dancers were fast learners, we may get the entire show taught in a half an hour with a half to spare. If we didn't then during breaks we would be rushing. I took Kelly to the side and showed her the first three acts really fast, ten minutes to the max. The other two were a little harder. But everyone finished with almost 30 minutes to show time.

I rushed out to the side of the stage where I found my sister holding my vest. "Thanks Leslie." I took it off of her and kissed her cheek. She was our opening act and had two minutes until show time. I smiled, I knew she was nervous.

"Want something to drink?" I asked her.

She smiled and nodded nervously. I still had maybe twenty minutes until show time. I patted her on her
back and left. Slipping out of the vest for the third time that night, putting on a black jacket with a hood and some sunglasses. I didn't like the food they fed us, so I snuck out and got some from the refreshment stands out in the audience. I pasted about seven or eight groups of people with out anyone
recognizing me. I stood at the stand and waited for someone to help me.

When a girl did I deepened my voice and tried to shade my face as much as possible. She was really pretty. Kind of tall, about maybe 5'8' or 5'7'. Light blonde hair that rested at her shoulders. She had on short black shorts, and a cute red top.

She smiled. "Are you going to tell me what you want?"

I smiled and felt my cheeks blush. "Yeah, um give me two Pepsi's and one mountain dew, and a Dr. Pepper."

She nodded, "A little thirsty?"

I laughed. Then I noticed her eyes, I loved her eyes, they were ocean blue. She bent over the counter a little so that her dolphin necklace dangled.

"Is that all?" She asked snapping me out of my trance.

"Yeah." I watched her move to the side, she lifted her arms to the top shelve to get the bottles and a bag. Something on her exposed side caught my attention. A small dolphin leaping out of water tattoo. "I'm taking it you like dolphins?" I said pointing at her tattoo.

"Yes I do. I believe they are one of the most intelligent creatures on this planet. And they are beautiful too."

I nodded in agreement then looked at my watch. I only had ten minutes to get back. "Would you like to get together after the concert or during intermission?" I asked. I couldn't help myself.

She smiled. "Sure I'm done at intermission, so how does then sound?" She asked. "That sounds great."

I pulled a back stage pass from my pocket. "Do you have a black permanent marker?" She nodded and reached under the counter. I signed my name and drew a picture like password, so that the guards knew she was coming to see me and not to see the meet and greet. I handed the pass and the marker back to her. " Just show this to the guard and he will direct you to my dressing room." I smiled as she stared at it in shock. Then I waved goodbye and made it back to the stage just as Leslie finished her act. I quickly jumped into my vest and ran out on stage.
