"Look now you've got friends to hang with. I'll come back out after Peter and I get back" she said reassurely.
"Ok babes! Bye" he called as she ran to get a towel.
"Man she's hot" John and Jake said at the same time.
She got a towel and ran inside.
"Peter I'm sorry I just gotta get dressed" she said as she ran by them.
She went into her room and pulled out her new outfit.  She pulled on the tight khaki flares and pulled them on. She took out the blue peasent shirt and put it on. She brushed her hair and wore it long, she did her make-up and pulled on her Berkenstocks. She checked herself in the mirror then ran out of the door.
"Peter I'm ready" she called.
Mike, Davy and Peter looked over at her.
"WOW" they said in unison.
"You guys are just saying that" she said blushing.
"Nah you look really pretty" Peter sais shyly.
"Thanks Peter" she said.
He walked over to her and took her hand.
"Bye guys" he called.
They walked out of the front door.
"Man she is ohhh..." Davy said.
Mike just laughed. Peter and Cassidy drove downtown. He stopped in front of a dingy looking building.
"This is it?" she asked.
"Yeah, just wait" he said.
They walked down the long flight of stairs hand in hand. There were dozens of tables in a dimly lit basement. There was a small stage with a stool on it. A lonley spotlight was on the perfomermer who was during his act. Peter led her to a table up front.
"I have never been here" she whispered.
The waitress came over to their table.
"What'll it be?" she asked.
They ordered 2 coffees. They performer walked off of the stage with light applause.
"I feel bad for him"she said quietly to Peter.
"Don't he was bad" he said laughing.
"Peter you're different when you're not with the guys. You open up more, you seem..." she said trailing off.
"What?" he asked.
"Smarter" she said after a moment.
"Thanks I think" he said with a smile.
"Your welcome" she said returning his grin. 
"Ladies and Gentleman, our next performer is new to our club. Let's treat him nice, here is Pheonix Sun" the waitress said as she ran off stage.
Cassidy gasped.
"What?" Peter asked alarmed.
"This guy came up to me and Davy earlier, wanting to know about Fallon. When we told him that she had died, he asked if I saw her to tell him, that he was here. He creeped us both out" she said shuddering.
"I'm sorry" he said.
They looked at the stage. Phoenix was sitting on the stool.
"I wonder if he's any good" she said aloud.
Pheonix began to recite a poem, not a very good one at that. When he was finished the audience applauded wildly. Cassidy turned to Peter wondering.
"I guess they thought he was good" he said sighing.
