We had just finished an interview with Top of the Pops. Our single "Rugby League" was flying up the charts. No make that sky rocketing up the charts! Anyways, our cd was set to release in about a week. We were having a huge party in our honor the night of the release.
Pyper still wouldn't talk to Myra, but she hid it well from the press. Nobody suspected a thing.
"So what are we going to do tonight?" I asked Pyper.
"Probably sit around and do nothing since Cole won't let us go anywhere." Cole had kinda grounded us after the whole club 69 thing. We were hardly allowed to do anything. It really sucked. Come on we're pop stars, not babies.
"Girls I have good news for you." Cole had just gotten off his mobile with someone.
"Are we not under house arrest?" Pyper immediately asked. Cole and Myra both sent her a look. Eww, gag me!
"What is it Cole?" Myra walked up and batted her eyelashes at him. UGH! Get a room! Those two make me sick! I wish they would get together already. But yeah, Cole's like 40 and Myra is barely 18. Yeah, that's going to happen sometime soon.
"I've just gotten off the phone with Chris Jones. He manages and produces the band 5ive. It turns out 5ive has heard your song and wants you to open for them on their upcoming world tour. Eventhough I don't know why. You girls are way too much trouble." We were all speechless. Even Pyper didn't have a thing to say. We were going on tour! We, were going on tour!!! This has got to be the coolest thing i have ever heard!
We all started screaming at once and began hugging eachother. This is what i had been dreaming for all my life. That and a pony. But yeah...What's real amazing is that even Pyper hugged Myra. Maybe things were looking up.
After about ten minutes of our celebration we had all somewhat calmed down. Pyper was the first to say anything.
"So these 5ive guys, are any of them cute?"
Cole gave her a funny looke. "Why should that matter? Oh no no no! You are not getting involved with any of them! No, i absolutely refuse it. That's just a disaster waiting to happen! Pyper you stay away from those boys!"
"Um whatever Cole. You can't tell me to stay away from them. And since he's not relinquising any information, I call first dibs on guys." April hit her with a pillow.
"Why do you get first dibs?" She asked.
"Because i'm the oldest." Pyper told her. "Now this is a popmagazine office. I'm sure we'll be able to find pictures of 5ive around here somewhere. Come on girls. Talk to you later Cole. You know where to reach us."
"Girls, no. You are not getting involved with these boys. Girls get back here!" He yelled as we walked out the door. But it was too late. We were long gone. Well all of us but Myra. Hmm, wonder where she could be.
We walked down the hall following Pyper. She went back to the room we were interviewed in. "Excuse me?"
The lady looked up from what she was reading. "Yes, can I help you?"
"Yes we were just curious if you had a recent issue that we could look through? One with 5ive in it preferably?" THe lady looked at Pyper curiously. It was the same lady who had interviewed us.
"And why the sudden interest in 5ive?" Yep this lady was a journalist. She grabbed the notebook she had taken notes on during the interview.
"Because we are going on tour with them." Pyper stated matter-of-factly.
"Really? Quite interesting. Here you go. Try page 13." The lady handed us the magazine and we left her anxious. We were anxious to see what 5ive looked liked. We sat down on a small couch in a hallway and got ready to open the magazine.
"I bet they're all dogs." April blurted out. We couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, here's the moment of truth." Pyper said as she opened up to page thirteen. When we got there we were surprised to say the least.
"Those are the guys from the club!" Jane shrieked! She had been quite upset when we had to leave so abrutly and couldn't finish talking with what's his name. We all began screaming. This was going to be a great tour.
