I turned around to see the MOE guy standing there. He smiled and said, "Hi. Is that a MOE card I see in your hand?"
"Yes, it is," I said, hoping that he would say a certain thing, but not daring to believe it.
"Well, it seems that I need to find one more person to go backstage. Do you know of anyone with a card like this who would like to come and meet the guys?"
I was about to say me, when I looked over at Michelle. She had a look on her face that I'd never seen before. I knew that both she and Isaac would be ecstatic if they could meet. I really didn't have to meet them. It wasn't as though Taylor liked me or anything. So I replied in answer to the man's question, "Yes, I know someone." I handed Michelle my MOE card. "Have fun, Michelle. And...say hi to Taylor for me, will you?"
Michelle looked at me in shock. "Monica, you can't do this. You're throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here. You should be going backstage, not me."
"Michelle, you've already given me too much. The least I could do is to let you meet Isaac, and let him meet the girl he was staring at during the concert. Now, please, just go."
They were starting to walk off, when I heard Michelle say, "No. I won't go backstage without Monica. It's her birthday tomorrow, and I got her a ticket to the concert for that occasion. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here right now. I don't care how much Ike likes me. I will not go unless Monica comes also."
Michelle came back over and said, "Monica, I just told the guy that I would not go backstage without you, no matter what Ike thought about me."
I could not believe my ears. I had just given up the chance of a lifetime so Michelle and Isaac could meet. Now she was going to throw that away also. "Michelle," I began, but was interrupted.
"He agreed! We're both going to meet Hanson! Now come on, before he changes his mind!"
For the second time in as many comments by Michelle, I could not believe my ears. I honestly thought I was dreaming, and that I'd wake up right before I actually got to meet them. To prevent that from happening, I pinched myself very hard. It hurt, and that was when it finally sank in that I was going to meet Hanson! I was completely speechless. The three of us, the MOE man, Michelle, and I, headed towards the gate through which lay the wonderful world of backstage.
