Chapter 24

~ Greg ~

-          Andrew put the lighting on the right on!, I yelled out to him while we were setting things up.

-          Who died and made you head Techie?, he yelled back.

-          I don�t know! I�ll tell you when they find the body! Anyways, just test the lights!

-          Okay!, he laughed.

-          Step one; Left; Right; Left; Tap; Tap; Roll push!, Lissy was saying to the guys who were practicing for the concert tomorrow night.

-          I hate these tight squeeze set ups., I said to myself.

-          Greg! They work?, Andrew called out.

-          Yup!, I said as I dropped onto the stage from the roof by rope.

-          That�s all the lights! I�ll help the others with the stage set up.

* A Couple Of Hours Later *

-          Want a break Greg?, Lissy asked me as she sat down next to me.

-          Sure! What you got to eat?, I said.

-          Here!, she laughed as she handed me a sandwich.

-          Mmm good! Who made it?, I said taking a bite.

-          Who ever made all the other food. But not sure!

-          Evening Boy and Girl!, Clay said sitting down with us.

-          Hey Clay!, I said laughing.

-          Well how�s thing on the technical crew side? As busy as the entertainment side?, he asked with a laugh.

-          Definitely busy! I hate hard work but I love the pay!

-          I like my job!, Lissy said.

-          She power hungry., Clay explained to me.

-          No I�m not! I like to dance that�s all!, Lissy said shaking her head.

-          So the fact you get to tell these guy�s off if they do something wrong has nothing to do with it?, I asked pointing to Clay.

-          Well it does help!, she said with a  laugh.

-          �I tried so hard; But in the end it doesn�t really matter.�, Tilky sung as he joined us.

-          Why are you? A pop star?, I asked.

-          Because you get more chicks., Tilky said throwing a ball of tape at me.

-          Anything else?, Lissy asked raising her eyebrow.

-          Yeah and the foods good!, he laughed.

-          Here I was thinking it was because you got to work with the best., she said pointing at herself and me.

-          Not to mention Andrew!, he said as he came to join us.

-          Have you noticed how everyone comes at the right cues?, Clay asked me.

-          Yeah it�s been like that for ages!, I added

-          I have no idea why!, Lissy said.

-          I know why! Blame the Author!, Andrew said.

-          What?, I asked Andrew who was laughing.

-          Never mind!

-          Okay I�m guessing that was a pun!, I said shaking my head.

-          Well not my fault! I didn�t write it!, Andrew shrugged.

-          Okay! We won�t hold it against you then., Tilky said.

-          Hey Guys!, TJ said walking over with Ryan and Michael from Natural.

-          Howdy!, I said saluting them.

-          You guys game for a night out tonight?, Michael asked.

-          Where to?, I asked raising an eyebrow.

-          Where ever we go!, TJ added.

-          Sounds like fun! But you have to conserve energy. Well you say that all the time when I make you practice., Lissy said.

-          This is different conserving., Andrew said trying not to laugh.

-          I hate being the only girl surrounded by you guys!, she sighed.

-          Some girls would like it., Ryan stated.

-          Yeah but I know what you guys look like when you wake up in the morning!, Lissy laughed before getting up.

-          Anways I�m going to go ring someone. So behave!, she added before she turned her back.

-          Yeah you say that like we are bad or something!, Tilky called out as Lissy left us.

-          We are! But not to their knowledge., I laughed.

-          My one nightstand!, TJ started singing.

-          Stop singing that other wise I will have to Karlie., Ryan laughed.

-          She rung you yet?, Andrew asked Ryan who was laughing.

-          No. She doesn�t want to lose the bet.

-          What does she have to do if she loses?, I asked.

-          Lets just say, the winner will have a ripper of a time�

-          Not going to give us a hint?, Tilky asked laughing.

-          Nope!. everyone said by the look on Ryan�s face.

* On The Night Of The Concert *

-          Alright here we go!, I said to Andrew as we put the lights down for the beginning of the concert.

-          Side stage ready to move props?, Andrew asked through a head set.

-          Yes!, we heard came a reply.

-          Alright music!, I said into a head set and the band started to play.

-          God! Who would have thought girls screaming would be any louder than the last concert?, Andrew said rubbing his ear.

-          What?, I asked.

-          These girls are loud!, Andrew said.

-          What?, I asked again.

-          Never mind!, he said shaking his head.

-          These girls are loud aren�t they? What?, I asked Andrew who just looked at me.

-          I just asked you that!, he laughed.

-          Get to work!, I said pushing some buttons.

-          Yes sir!, Andrew said keeping an eye on the concert.
