Chapter 4


"Oh my God guys!" Aine squealed as she met the girls the next morning for breakfast. "Bryan asked me to be his girlfriend!"

"What did you say?" Jenn asked.

"Well, I said I would have to make sure it was ok. You know how Sherry is, we can only date certain guys that are good for our image," Aine replied.

"I�m sure Bryan is ok," Kimmy said.

Dawn laughed. "As long as Sherry doesn�t find out the way you two act with each other."

"I already know," Sherry said as she walked up to the girls� table. "And you can date him Aine, as long as the sex-scapades stay behind closed doors."

"Yes!" Aine squealed and gave Sherry a huge hug. "Thank you sooo much! I am so in love!" she proclaimed as she swirled around before taking a seat.

"I am so happy for you," Sherry said with a fake smile. "Ok, girls, business now. We�re doing Party in the Park in three days, and we�re releasing a new single to radio next week. We have a look of work ahead of us. Now, Erica has some new dance steps for you to learn and Astric is taking you all shopping this afternoon. I have some meetings to go to now, so ta." And Sherry was off again.

The girls all just looked at each other. They never imagined they would be this busy when Sweet Reverie first started, as a joke.

*****Memories******

The girls had all met up in Toronto to see Westlife do a Live at Much special. That night, they all hit a karaoke bar and as a joke sang "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. Dave, from the super Canadian boy band soulDecision, was there and thought they were fabulous. He asked for their numbers and the next thing they knew, Sweet Reverie was signed to MCA. The record was recorded and a single released. They shot to the top of the charts and were sent to conquer the UK. "What I Wanna Do" was an instant number and stayed at the top for three weeks until Westlife�s "When You�re Looking Like That" knocked them off. Weeks later, it was time to start it all over again, a new single and the release of the album.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Work with me ladies! Work with me!" Erica commanded. "You are hopeless, you�ll never get this right by Saturday!" The girls just couldn�t get the dance steps right for the songs they were to perform at Party.

"Shopping time!" Astric announced as she waltzed into the practice studio.

"No way Astric, they�re still mine for another 15 minutes."

"But we have an appointment with Dolce and Gabbana in 20 minutes. They need to be there on time."

"Whatever. Girls," Erica said as she turned to face them. "Tomorrow, we get it RIGHT or I kick your asses!"

The girls all nodded and ran off to change. Shopping was much more fun then dancing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, and you are gorgeous!" Domenico told Kimmy as she walked out of the dressing rooms in a slinky little black dress.

"But there is barely anything here," she said, not thrilled with the fact that there was almost no fabric on the dress.

"That�s why it is so fun darling!" he giggled. "Isn�t that right Stefano?"

"But of course Dom. Now where is that cute little blonde Aine?"

Aine pranced out in a tiny white number, a tight little skirt and an almost completely shear top. "Oh, Bryan would love this!" she squealed.

"Bryan? Bryan Westlife?" Stefano asked.

"Yup," she sighed. "We�re dating now."

"Oh really?" Domencio said. "You must tell us all the details." If there was anything the Italian designers like more than fashion, it was gossip.

"There�s not much to tell," Dawn answered before Aine could open her mouth. She knew Aine would tell them all about how blessed Bryan was and how many times they had had sex in the past two days.

"Oh, ok," Stefano said as he looked at Dawn. She was wearing these skin-tight black leather pants, which had to be tied on the side to stay on, and a white button down men�s shirt over an itsy bitsy black tank that covered nothing but her breasts.

"I am NOT wearing this!" Dawn announced.

"But you look so stunning," Domenico told her.

"No, I look like a two-bit whore. I am not a street-walker, I�m a singer!"

"But Britney wears things like this," Stefano protested.

"Well, I am not Britney," she shouted. "I prefer to leave things to the imagination." She began pulling at the pants, trying to make them looser.

"Don�t argue with them," Astric pleaded with Dawn. It had taken her hours of begging to get Dolce and Gabbana to outfit the girls.

"I am NOT wearing this!" Dawn screamed.

"I�m not comfort with this either," Kimmy agreed.

Soon all the girls except Aine were whining about their clothes. "Fine," Astric said. "We�re going to Tommy. I think his things are better for the show anyway. Thanks for all your help Dom and Stefano." She gave them both kisses on the cheeks and led the girls away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I know you want leather but not trashy leather, so I think you will like this," Tommy said as the ladies that worked for him in London carried out several armfuls of clothing. The girls giggled as they threw things about and picked out the pieces they liked. They made mad dashes back and forth between the dressing rooms and the clothing, trying to find the perfect ensembles.

Aine was the first one done. She chose a short black leather skirt that had a subtle flair and a bright red sequined bra-top and matching shiny green top tied around her waist. Add a pair of knee-high black boots and she was done.

Kimmy was the picture of sophistication in a knee-length, black leather skirt, a dark blue shiny shirt and a black leather waistcoat.

Jenn was sporting a pair of baggy black trousers, a black sports bra and a purple shimmery shirt open over it.

Shawna couldn�t have looked more innocent in a black floor-length skirt with a slit to the knee and a pink top tied at her waist.

They were waiting for Dawn to come out of the dressing room, when Westlife walked in. "Bryan!" Ainie squealed and ran over and jumped into his arms. He picked her up and spun her around the room, covering her with kisses. Kimmy watched with a bit of jealously and looked over at Shane, who pretended not to see her. Kian walked over to Jenn and Shawna and told them some joke, to which they both laughed. Nicky stood by Shane and said, "Look at how gorgeous she is Shane." Shane just rolled his eyes, not wanting to admit that Nicky was right.

Mark stood near the door, wondering where Dawn was. His jaw dropped to the floor as she walked out. Tight black leather trousers, a wine-colored shiny shirt and a black floor-length jacket. She looked perfect with her brown hair all pulled up in a ponytail. Dawn noticed Mark looking at her and quickly told Kimmy, "I�m going to change now." And off she went back into the dressing rooms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How ya�ll doing today?" Aine screamed to the crowd at Party in the Park three days later. The sun, amazingly, was shining and the place was of course packed. The audience screamed back at her. "We�re Sweet Reverie and we�ve got a message for ya! Hit boys!" she hollered to the band as they started the music.

(Aine): I woke up this morning with a buzz rollin� round in my brain

I haven�t been drinkin� but it feels pretty good just the same

(Kimmy): It must be contagious, looks like it�s goin� round

It�s cool once you catch it, you can�t keep your feet on the ground

(Dawn): C�mon, c�mon, let�s get something started

C�mon, c�mon, let�s start something now!

(All): We�re gonna rock this country

We�re gonna rock this country

Every brown-eyed boy, every blue-eyed girl

Gotta really go psycho-give it a whirl

We�re gonna rock this country

Right outta this world

Ah-oo-na-na-na�K

(Shawna): From Manchester to Southampton, Liverpool and London too

Or Birmingham, no matter where you live, this buzz�s for you

C�mon, c�mon, let�s get something started

C�mon, c�mon, let�s start something now!

We�re gonna rock this country

We�re gonna rock this country

Every brown-eyed boy, every blue-eyed girl

Gotta really go psycho-give it a whirl

We�re gonna rock this country

Right outta this world

Ah-oo-na-na-na�K

Ah-oo-na-na-na�K

(Jenn): We�re pluggin� in the power

Crankin� up the sound

It�s comin� your direction

It�s headin� to your town

We�re kickin� up dust

Blowin� off steam

Let�s get nuts now

Everybody scream!!!

We�re gonna rock this country

We�re gonna rock this country

Every brown-eyed boy, every blue-eyed girl

Gotta really go psycho-give it a whirl

We�re gonna rock this country

Right outta this world!

The crown went insane as the song ended. The girls all bowed and grinned at each other. It was time for their trademark song, the one that had just gotten them their second number one in America, and they hoped would be their second number one in the UK. "Let�s go girls!" Dawn hollered and pulled her hair out of the ponytail, shaking her head so it fell down all around her. Westlife was sitting on the side, backstage and Mark�s breath was taken away. He wanted her, and he didn�t care what he had to do to get her. Kimmy and Dawn threw off their jackets and Jenn and Aine got rid of their shirts.

I�m going out tonight, I�m feelin� alright

Gonna let it all hang out

Wanna make some noise, really raise my voice

Yeah, I wanna scream and shout

No inhibitions make no conditions

Get a little outta line

I ain�t gonna act politically correct

I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun and�K.

Oh, oh, oh go totally crazy, forget I�m a lady

Men�s shirts, short skirts

Oh, oh, oh really go wild, yeah, doin� it in style

Oh, oh, oh get in the action, feel the attraction

Color my hair, do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man, I feel like a woman

The girls need a break, tonight we�re gonna take

The chance to get out on the town

We don�t need romance, we only wanna dance

We�re gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun and�K.

Oh, oh, oh go totally crazy, forget I�m a lady

Men�s shirts, short skirts

Oh, oh, oh really go wild, yeah, doin� it in style

Oh, oh, oh get in the action, feel the attraction

Color my hair, do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man, I feel like a woman

During the instrumental, Aine ran over and grabbed Bryan and pulled him out onto the stage. He pretended to fight her, but laughed all the way out. "Let�s go with him," Kian suggested and the other lads joined Bryan. Kian and Nicky stood near Jenn and Shawna. Kimmy grabbed Shane. "You�re singing with me Filan!" she commanded. He reluctantly agreed. Mark walked near Dawn, but she just coolly ignored him. "Can we call a truce?" he asked. Dawn held up a finger to silence him and sang.

The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun, fun, fun

Westlife joined in on this round of the chorus.

Oh, oh, oh go totally crazy, forget I�m a lady

Men�s shirts, short skirts

Oh, oh, oh really go wild, yeah, doin� it in style

Oh, oh, oh get in the action, feel the attraction

Color my hair, do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel

Bryan did the honors on "Man, I feel like a woman!" which brought rounds of laughter from the crowd. He nudged Shane in the arm and Shane ended up singing the ending with Kimmy.

I get totally crazy

Can you feel it?

Come, come, come on baby woah!

I feel like a woman!

The next thing everyone knew, over 100,000 people had taken to their feet to give the two groups a standing ovation. "I think we�re onto something here," Louis told Sherry as the two managers watched from backstage.

"Are you thinking what I�m thinking?" Sherry replied.

"A collaboration, and soon," Louis answered.
