"It's now time for a game called duet. This is for Jeff and Wayne." Drew got up and went to the 5th row center audience. He stopped at Emma's chair.
"Yeah, go Emma!" I rooted! I finally realized what I had done and I covered my mouth, blushing and giggling. I hid my face when the camera zoomed in on me. Ryan and Colin could barely contain themselves in laughter.
"What do you like to do for a living?" Drew asked Emma.
"Um... writing stories." She said.
"Anything in particular?" Drew asked.
"No. Just fan fiction and stuff." Emma responded.
"All right. You're name is Emma isn't it? I thank Liv for that too." Drew said, looking at me.
"Ha-Ha, Drew. You're killing me." I said sarcastically.
"Well anyway, come on down and meet Wayne and Jeff." Drew said.
I looked at Emma in jealousy. I wanted Jeff to seranade to me. I sighed. 'Oh well.' I thought.
"You will be singing to Emma in the style of A*Teens." Drew said.
I sat boltright up my chair
and screamed: "YES!!!!!" I was pumping my fist also.
The audience couldn't stop laughing. I sat back on my chair. 'Grr...
Why am I doing this?' I thought to myself. Laura Hall and Linda
Taylor played their pianoes and guitars to "Bouncing off
The Ceiling (Upside Down)". I grinned.

"That was the best show alive." I said to Ruth, Sandy, Gail, and Emma.
"I know, it was!" Cher said.
"And the best part is outside." Ryan said, sneaking up on me.
"What is it?" I asked.
Jamie smiled.
"Close your eyes." Colin said.
I closed my eyes, and Ruth and Sandy led me outside. When I opened my eyes I saw a tall figure with black hair. "Oh my god." I whispered. "It can't be." I muttered. The man turned around. My mouth dropped open. "Die...Die...Diedrich...B..B..Bader?" I managed to say. He nodded. My knees buckled.
"I knew you'd like it." Jamie said. I nodded, still looking at him.
"Ryan told me that you were one of my fans. Well it just so happens, that I have some reservations at a restaurant. You can bring all your friends too." He said.
I looked at my friends. "Want to come?" I said.
"Oh, no we can't! We can't do that to you, just go!"
They all said. "I take that as a yes?" I said.
"Yep!" They all said.
Diedrich and Ryan laughed. I smiled. Weakly.
*At the Restaurant*
"S...So how's your w-wife?" I asked Diedrich, still
trying my best to pronounce my words correctly.
"She's doing good. She's at a rehearsal thing." Diedrich said.
"Oh. Cool." I said.
Meanwhile, Jamie was amusing herself talking to Colin Mochrie. I smiled at her. Emma was writing a new sequel to a story she wrote the other day and posted it on the Message Board.
"Listen... Colin told me you had no place to stay..." Diedrich said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Do you work well with couches?" Diedrich asked.
"Um... yes." My heart pratically burst.
"Well.. it has a fold-a-bed thing..." Diedrich trailed off.
"Oh. My. Gosh." I whispered.
"Do you think you could stay for a couple of days? Weeks maybe?" He asked.
"Yes!" I blurted out. "My parents are moving here in California, and they need some time to get things settled, so it'd be perfect!" I said.
Diedrich smiled. "Good." He said. I nodded.
I leaned over to Ruth and I said. "Pinch me." Ruth pinched me. It hurt. I wasn't dreaming.
"Well, I better show you around." Diedrich said.
"Yeah." I said. I waved good-bye to my friends, and I got in Diedrich's car.
