| The concert was phenomenal and somehow or another the girls managed to get backstage afterwards.
�Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!� Amanda clapped her hands and hopped up and down excitedly. �Oh my God, I can�t believe we�re here! We�re really here, Lizzy!� She grabbed Elizabeth�s hand and continued to jump. They were standing in a very long line waiting for an autograph. Elizabeth was a little bored and very uncomfortable being around all the people, but Amanda was overly thrilled and completely at home being the center of attention. �Ok, Amanda, calm down. You�re not twelve.� Amanda shot her an agitated look. �Shut up,� she snapped, turning around so her back was to Elizabeth. A minute later she was talking animatedly to a girl that looked around their age and her little sister. The line moved incredibly slowly and Elizabeth�s head was beginning to reel.

She felt something cold on her face and someone smoothing her hair. Suddenly, as if a switch had been flipped, she came to her senses and bolted up. Six pairs of eyes shot towards her and she blushed heavily. �Oh my God, Justin Timberlake saw me pass out.� She fainted again. �Um� okay?� Chris glanced at Joey, who shrugged. �Well that was odd.� |
