Chapter 11

* Four Months Later *
~ Buffy ~

Well after we finished our 3 � months of touring, our managements were kind enough to give us 2 weeks of vacation. Before that, Lou wanted us to spent most of the time working in the STUDIO instead. He said that we were already behind schedule as it is. When I heard that, I almost jumped on him to make him realized that we were working non-stop and that we need some rest. We�re not robots for god sake! Anyways, Greg and Andrew had a talk with Lou about it and we didn�t know how they done it, but they had succeed on giving us the vacation.

After those 2 weeks were up, Tiff gone home to finish her studies, her hockey practices that she had miss and to meet up with her boyfriend Marcus, whom she NEVER stops talking about. Got to love that girl! Mich and Kaz had ended up with 18 songs (yeah they wrote like one or two song per day) by the end of it and decided to give it a go for our next album. We were in the studio from time to time to recorded some of the songs, but we had spend most of our time rehearsing for a charity concert with BSB, OnPoint, LFO, O-Town, Triple Deep, Wave (a Canadian band whom we met on tour when we were in Canada) and such. But also we had spend most of our time wondering who we suppose to make a duet with, cause Lou been speaking of �them� since we had finish our tour and it seemed that we�re going to met them today before our performance.

-          Okay girls! Get ready cause you�re up next in an hour and a half!, said a one of the dude who worked backstage while we were warming up.

-          Dude why tell us now and not in 10 minutes before we perform?, Bekah yelled.

-          Lou told me to warn you girls!, he shouted out.

-          You know what? I have enough to here with Lou and his freaking orders!, Dasha said as she made a limit sign over her head.

-          Hey calm down D and concentrate on your performance and that dance move., Lissy said to her cause we had learn a new dance for a our new song �Irresistible�.

-          Ladies? It�s Lou can I come in?, we heard saying on the other side of our dressing room door.

-          I want you girls to meet the guys that you�re going to make a duet it before you went onstage.

-          Well it�s about time!, I whispered quietly.

-          Yeah sure come in!, Lee shouted out.

~ Lee ~

After I yelled at Lou to come in, I didn�t know what to expect. Beside that the girls and myself were bored after our long practice. We were in the arena where the concert would be held. Karlie and Andrew were arm wrestling, Greg was with Buffy who was helping her to hold on to the punching bag while she laid on some kicks and punches, Dasha was discussing about the dance moves, Bekah was busy replying to some of the fans e-mails with the help of her laptop, while myself, was warming up my voice.

When our dressing room door flew open, Lou greeted us with a smile on his face like always. We all smiled back and said �Hey Big Poppa! What�s up?�, beside Buffy who was doing her �ignorance� as usual. I have to admit that she�s SO difficult to live with it, but that�s another story.

-          Anyways girls I�m sorry I had to make you wait about this whole duet thing with the group., Lou said.

-          Hey no problem! Now spill it or we�re going to make your life a living hell!, I laughed.

-          They�re just right outside., he said before he poked his head outside the door and made a sign.

When I looked up, after laughing, standing in front of us were 5 totally hot guys. I elbowed Bekah, who didn�t pay attention while Lou was talking, to make her look up and once she did, I was sure that her jaw was on the ground. When Dasha saw them, she almost fell from a dance move while Karlie got beaten by Andrew. He screamed for joy since he had won for the first time, but stopped after Karlie hit him. In Buffy�s case, well she didn�t pay any attention at all. Not even at the buff, good-looking, brown shaggy hair guy who was checking her out. Typical situation!

~ Ryan ~

The others and myself were waiting for Lou who was talking to these girls whom we suppose to work on a song together. To be honest, all of us were excited to meet face to face with theses girls. After Lou told us to come in, they were doing what we though they wouldn�t do. None of them were warming up, expect for one person whom caught Tilky�s eyes ever since we walked in and they stopped everything they were doing.

I had to admit that every single of those 5 girls had caught every single of us. My little bros� eyes were caught with the girl who was with their choreographer, TJ seemed lost in his own world after his eyes were connect with the girl with the laptop, while myself were caught with the girl who was with Andrew and got hit after that. Andrew left his seat and Greg stopped holding the punching bag to make it stay still, to high five us, expect for Steve who was too busy checking the Asian girl who didn�t look to interest on what was going around her.

-          Well girls these guys are� left to right of course� Steve, Tilky, TJ, Ryan, Clay and they�re known as Take 5.

-          Hey what�s up!, said the girl who was with Andrew before.

-          And that�s Bekah, Lee who�s next to her. Over there at the end is Dasha with Lissy their choreographer. The one who�s on the couch is Karlie so you better watch out for her�

-          What? She bites?, I laughed after Lou present them.

-          Only if you want her too., Bekah yelled out.

-          No mostly someone who can kick your butt easily!, she said followed with a smile.

-          And the other one whom you should REALLY be careful is Buffy. Especially when she�s pumped up!, Lee said while pointed to the Asian girl who was punching and kicking which made us wishing we weren�t the punching bag.

-          Damn! Is she piss off or something?, I heard TJ saying to me in a low voice.

-          Buffy?, Greg yelled out calmly.

-          What?, she said before Greg pointed to Lou.

-          Oh hey Lou!, she smiled like acted like nothing happen.

-          Who piss you off to make you pump like that?, Lou asked laughing.

-          You do Lou! Who else?! And beside I didn�t heard you coming in!, she did a fake smile.

-          Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny Slayer!, he laughed while she turned towards Greg and made a disgusting look which made him laugh quietly.

-          Well with all those punching and kicking it�s normal to give you some defect! Oh wait! You�re already a defect Buff!, Andrew said to her.

-          Shut it!, she laughed as she threw him a pillow which was on the floor next to her and then turned towards Steve who was looking at her.

-          What are you looking at? Never saw a girl throwing a pillow before?, she laughed before she stuck  out her tongue.
