| �You smiled (you waved)/ And you said hi/ I smiled (we laughed)/ A high pitch voice (oh, what a lie)/ Repeat Chorus (2x)/ SPOKEN: I can�t believe it (Jennifer)/ I told you (Megan)/ Yes, forewarned (Shannon)/ Oh, shut up (rest of us) �laughing�� Jennifer shook her head at the rest of us, and the song faded out with us laughing. The lights dimmed and we quickly changed. The next four songs were going to be slow, to chill for a little bit. We started it with a song off our first album, moving on to �Why Fight� and than went on to �Love Letters� following it up with yet another one of our first album. For the whole concert, that was the only slow songs we had. Nothing but fast songs! We did another change and I walked out on the stage. �Welcome once again. As fans, we know you support us and that means the greatest thing for me, for us. But you also buy the cd�s. So, you know that set of fast songs was the only ones we are going to do tonight. Let�s party,� I said, the tight skirt shimmering in the lights. I walked back go to my drums, slapping Jennifer�s hand as I passed her. I nodded my head and we counted off the beat, starting the riff�s for the next song. �SPOKEN: Hey Resa, you know where a party is? (Jennifer)/ Nah girl. But, I know a party song, Jennifer (Resa)/ Than kick that beat girl (Jennifer)�� Jennifer nodded her head at me and I picked the speed up and she took the first verse, followed by Terri. �You know you wanna dance/ (Wanna feel the bass)/ You know you wanna move the hips/ (Wanna have that smile on your face)/ Cause this is strictly for you/ (Yeah, this is the party song)/ Makes ya dance the night away/ (And we�ll jam all night long)�� Shannon took the next one, followed by Megan picking up the next one. �If you wanna play something different/ (Wanna have some fun)/ You just gotta play this song/ (And pick someone)/ You gotta dance (just gotta)/ (Yeah, this is the party song)/ You know you wanna have fun/ (And we�ll jam all night long)�� Terri once again took the verse and I picked up the next one. �With any song/ You have to know/ There is always a dance/ So if you wanna learn (get on the floor)/ This is strictly for you/ (Yeah, this is the party song)/ Makes you dance the night away/ (And we�ll jam all night long)�� Both Megan and I played a riff as our few dancers came on and with Terri, showed off the dance we had created. �First move left, right (gotta move those hips) Next, right arm out, next arm out/ Okay now, left arm up, next one up/ (You just gotta bust a move)/ Now, the fun one, dip down low four times, back up and spin to your right/ -Background: (This is the party song, party song, party song)-/ REPEAT�� Terri spoke it and picked up the last full verse. �You gotta dance (just gotta)/ (Yeah, this is the party song)/ You know you wanna have fun/ (And we�ll jam all night long)/ This it the party song, party song, party song/ And we�ll jam (JAM!) all night long�� We kept that going, all of us singing something different and finally stopped playing, letting the notes just fade out. We played another two songs from out first album, taking a minute to change our tops and to let Megan talk. �Mine, all mine. So, you know we�re the queen of remakes, and our next one is one of my favorite songs. I begged and pleaded to put this on our last album, and it worked! Maybe I should it more often.� She made an evil face and the fans laughed. �You guys are a wonderful crowd. You have had so much and so have we. Let�s let the fun go on.� I rolled my eyes at Megan and hit my head a couple times. Jennifer played a few keys, Terri hummed a few notes, Shannon played a few riffs and Megan opened the song. �Spoken: He went away and you hung around/ And bothered me, every night/ And when I wouldn�t go out with you/ You said things that weren�t very nice�� The crowd realized it was �My Boyfriend�s Back� and they really got into it, singing along. We played another song from our first album and jumped right into �Love� and the crowd went wild. We smiled at each other. We played one more from our first album, than played �She�s Moved On� and the crowd had fun with that one. Shannon stepped out on stage and the spotlight shun on her. Than Jennifer stepped up right by her. �Well, almost done, and we just wanted to say thanks for being some of the best fans anyone could have,� Shannon said. �We�re still learning in this business and yet through our ups and down�s, you have been there,� Jennifer finished off. �And though we�re leaving very shortly, we�ll be coming back, so don�t miss us for too long. But enjoy!� Shannon waved and walked off the stage. �Thank you once again. Much love, from Trinity.� Jennifer waved as well, and walked to the back. Shannon stroked the strings and Jennifer played the same song, it was the opening beat to �Let Dogs Lie�. I shook my head and rolled my eyes and Megan just looked at me. I hit the drum head and she smiled, strumming a few strokes on the bass and we played the opening beats to �I Will Survive�.� �Woah, we can not have two songs playing,� Terri said, walking out on stage. �Ask the fans what they want,� I said, standing up and crossing my arms. �Yup to you guys,� Terri said. She turned to the fans and all of them were screaming out the two different songs. �Well, since we can�t decide, how about a mix?� �A mix?� I asked. �Yeah, a mix,� Shannon said. I just stared at her, not understanding. Jennifer nodded her head, understanding and started playing a fast riff. I just kept looking at them and finally noticed Megan in on it too. �Excuse me! Hello, I do not understand this.� Terri walked over to me, shoved me in my seat and threw the sticks at me. Just play!� I nodded my head, picking up with everyone else. She sang the first half of the song �I Will Survive� and for a second, we all stopped. She nodded her head and we started up again, with half of �Let Dog�s Lie�. Once again she stopped, this time walked down to the end of the stage and waved at the crowd. She walked down to the other end and waved at them. With her first step, we picked right back up to where we left off in �I Will Survive�. The last note didn�t even fade off as we went back into �Let Dog�s Lie�. Once the last note was played, we stood up, walked to the front of the stage, grabbed hands, and bowed, saying a good nights, our last thank yous and love you�s. She plopped down on her couch and sighed. Under half closed lids, she watched the man move around her room. She smirked to herself. Someone how, her�s and AJ�s friendship was good, a lot closer. Maybe because every time her and Brian had a fight, he would talk to her, make her see it was nothing big. She sighed once again and felt the couch shift. �You wanna talk about it?� �It�s the same Alex. He gets upset. I mean, it�s nothing big, Resa and D fight all the time and I tired to help and D got a little huffed, complained to Brian and Brian gets more pissed than anyone else,� Shannon said, brushing her hair with her fingers. AJ just smiled at her. �Girl, just let it go. Brian is like that, you know that. He cares only for you, doesn�t want you dragged into everyone�s business.� �They�re my best friend�s Alex. I don�t want them to be hurting. I know I can help them out.� AJ smiled and nodded his head. �Just don�t pay him no mind.� �Thanks Alex. I think I better get ready for our next show.� �Oh yeah, have fun out there.� �I usually do.� He gave me a quick hug and walked out the door. She sighed and shook her head, jumping in the shower. |
