Chapter One: Green Day Concert"I can't believe that we are finally at a Green Day concert. Not only that but we might get lucky enough to meet them too." Said Dani. She was wearing her Green Day shirt and black cargo's with black sandals.

"Yeah Dani, you just like them because you think they are hot." Dani 's boyfriend Kevin said. Dani roller her eyes and looked at him.

"Sometimes I don't know why I stay with you. You have no respect for talent, Green Day has helped me though a lot of hard times. So be quiet and I don't only like them because they're hot. I like their music and more. But I can tell you're not listening to me and don't really care. so whatever." Dani's best friend Stacey spoke up

"Hey guys lets go over there." She pointed across a large stretch of grass to a patch close to the stage that had a few chairs. As they walked Stacey said,

"She's told you a million times why she likes them Kevin... why are you even here. You don't like Green Day and you look completely out of place." And she was right. This particular day Kevin had decided to wear his preppy clothes. Unlike his usual half preppy half punk look.

"I came her to make sure my girlfriend doesn't do anything stupid." Kevin replied looking at Dani. As they sat down to wait for the concert to start Dani finally registered what her boyfriend had said.

"What? What is that supposed to mean?" She questioned.

"Nothing really, you'll just end up doing something stupid to either embarrass yourself or get yourself into trouble, like always." Kevin stated like it was a fact. As he said this he looked around the area and watched as all the people filed in., noticing that almost all of them looked like they were completely punk-ed out. Dani suddenly looked at him saying

"You're an ass sometimes you know that." She looked really pissed off. Dani also had just realized how close to the stage they really were.

"You know we are really close, if we plan right maybe we can touch Billie Joe or something." Dani said turning to Meghan and Stacey.

Meghan looked at Dani " oh, that would be cool." Meghan was short and the same age making her and Dani the youngest of the group. Meghan was the sort of girl who didn't take shit from nobody, but she still had a soft sweet side.. She was also wearing her Green Day shirt with blue jeans and sandals. Stacey was dressed in her customary black and red outfit.

"Come on Dani, you know what I mean, you do stupid things, you always do something and think about the consequences later." Kevin said turning the topic away from the guys of Green Day.

Dani stopped talking to Meghan and Stacey, "I don't know what your talking about. The only time I do anything stupid is when I drink and I don't do that so much anymore."

Dani turned away from Kevin and back to the girls.

" Whatever Dani, you know you'll do something stupid. Like always. ' Kevin snapped.

"You know what Kevin don't talk to me the rest of the night. I don't know why I invited you in the first place." Dani said fuming.

Stacey then turned to her brother as she spotted something coming toward them from a distance away. " Kevin your just being mean because your jealous. you think that as soon as Dani sees another guy that is good looking in person she is automatically going to leave you for them. Which is completely ignorant. She's not like that."

Then Stace mumbled to herself " I don't know why she stays with you anyway. when she's not here you cheat on her."

Kevin heard her mumbling, "What Sis?"

"Nothing ," Stacey replied with hast all the while hoping that Dani didn't hear what she ad said. Dani of course had heard as she was standing right there. But she decided to kip it to herself for now. She would talk to Stacey about it later.

Right now all Dani wanted to do was get pumped for the concert. Suddenly all four heard someone shout.

"DANI!" and a black blur raced past and tackled Dani, knocking her to the ground.

"Hey Sis, it's nice to know you would wait for your only brother, whom you love so much." Derek said.

"Derek we told you where we were going." Dani said while laughing and wiping he grass and dirt off of her clothes. After getting off of the ground Derek went and gave his girlfriend Meghan a kiss on the cheek. "Derek, you have something on your face." Dani pointed out. " Let me get it Meghan said. She reached up to his eye and removed a blade of grass form his eyebrow ring.

"Hey guys, I think the concert is about to start. Stacey said . Just as she spoke music started to play and people started yelling. Billie Joe, Mike and Tre all came out and got in their places along with the rest of the band. Billie stood behind the Microphone with his hands on his hips looking out at the crowd. (think bullet in a bible) The crowd went wild as they began to play American Idiot.

"This is so awesome." Screamed Dani over the noise, as she sang along. "NO kidding, look at Kevin." Stacey said as she glanced at her brother.

Dani looked over to see Kevin glaring at Billie Joe as he sang Jesus of Suburbia. "Jeez, I'm really glad we brought him." Dani thought.

From her point of view she could see Tre and his drums perfectly. Billie Joe had just introduced Tre to the crowd while he played one of his drum solos. All of the gang minus Kevin jumped around and screamed and yelled. Before they knew it the concert was over.

As they walked out of the arena Dani saw that Tre was watching everyone leave so she decided to yell at him. "I love you , Tre." At this Tre looked at her and smiled. Kevin became pissed off and grabbed her arm which she jerked outside they all looked at Derek.

"What?" He asked once he noticed everyone staring at him.

"Ummmmm... Where are we parked?" Dani asked.

"Yeah babe, you parked the car. Did you forget already?" Meghan asked.

"oh yeah I kinda snuck the car into a really good parking spot." Derek said pausing for affect.

"Where is it?" Dani asked getting impatient.

"Well, we have to walk through the tour busses to get to the car, so who know maybe we will run into the band." Derek replied.

"I didn't know you were that smart D" Meghan said as she gave him a kiss and started walking toward the tour busses. They were all walking along and talking amongst themselves when Dani (who was in front) suddenly stopped causing Derek to run into her.

"Dani! What the hell? Why did you stop?" Derek said loudly bringing their presence to the attention of anyone around.

"Well, I stopped because Green Day are sitting right there." Dani said pointing at least a few yards ahead of them.

The guys had just finished one of their best concerts in their opinion. They were all sitting out in front of their busses when they heard someone yell.

"Dani, What the hell? Why'd you stop? " Causing all three to look up from whatever they were doing. They saw a group of about 5 people standing a few feet away.

"Great, and right after the concert too. "Billie Joe said.

"Maybe they'll walk on by." Mike said as the group began walking toward them. Slowly they got closer and closer to them. They stopped again a few feet away from them and one of the girls came up to them.

"We're sorry to bother you but we wanted to say what an awesome concert that was. We've been listening to you guys forever and wanted to really say thank you for dong what you do." After a few minutes she started to turn away to go back to her group of friends. Then Tre spoke up recognizing her as the girl that yelled at him after the show.

"What's your name?" He asked. " Danielle but all of my friends call me Dani." She said pointing back the group.

"Dani, do you want us to sign anything." Mike said. "If you wouldn't mind we would love that." With that said all of her friends grouped behind her, except one guy who hung back. Dani saw Billie Joe raise an eyebrow.

"He's not a fan." Dani said. "oh, " Was Billie's only reply.

"your lyrics really touch me and the songs have helped me though many tough times." Dani Said as Billie took her copy of American Idiot and signed it.

"Thanks, that's always great to hear , we always hope that our music will help to inspire at least one person." Billie replied handing Dani back her CD. Dani moved on down to where Mike was seated as Stacey began to talk to Billie. As Mike began to sign her CD she started talking about the bass guitar.

"Oh, do you play?" Mike asked. "No I don't play, but my brother Derek does."

"Which one is he?" Mike asked looking at Kevin.

"Definitely not him, my brother is the other guy. He plays really well, but he is always looking for advice. He might ask you for some."

Dani said as she picked up her CD. "Thanks."

"I'll talk to him." Mike said nodding toward her brother. Dani then moved down to were Tre was. Anyone who know Dani knew how much she admired Tre. She was so nervous about meeting him. Dani had always wondered what this would be like, meeting her favorite drummer, not to mention the best drummer in the world. As Dani moved toward him he looked up with his blue eyes and got a goofy grin that you could only associate with Tre Cool. Tre watched her as she drew close. 'She's really cute.' he thought s she stepped in front of him.

"Hi, Tre." Dani said breathlessly.

" Hi, what t can I sign for you?" He asked . Dani put their CD in front of him. He could see Mike and Billie's signatures. " Dani then started talking..

" I just want to say I think you're awesome and I was also wondering if you would sign my drum sticks? I never go anywhere without them . So they're really important to me."

"So you play the drums ? That's awesome." Tre said as Dani shook her head to the affirmative. "How long have you played?" He asked wanting to see exactly how much experience she may have.

" Well, I'm 23 now and I really started playing when I was 12 so about 11 years now. My parents though I needed an outlet for all my energy so they bought me a drum set for my birthday. I always liked music and my dad liked the drums so he convinced my mom to buy them. I always wanted to start a band but I couldn't choose between playing the drums and singing.." Dani stopped talking realizing that she was rambling.

"You sing too? That great, well her you go Dani." Tre said handing her drum sticks back to her.

"Thanks Tre." Dani said while blushing. "Your welcome. He replied his smile getting walked away from Tre with a wave and a smile . As she got closer to Kevin he asked her "What the hell was that? You were flirting with him."

"I was not, you're just jealous and don't touch me. I'm still mad at you." Dani said. They both stood off to the side waiting for the other to get done. When they were all finished they waved one last time and made their way back to Kevin's Jeep Cherokee.

"That was cool." Said Derek "Mike gave me some advice on playing he bass. Thanks for saying something Dani."

"No prob bro. Anything for you. Dani replied as they reached Kevin's car and all piled in. Kevin dropped the four off at the airport and he then went home. Dani, Stacey, Meghan, and Derek barley made their flight back to California in time. Once they were on the plane they all fell asleep thinking of what a great Day they just had.
