Chapter one: Arriving in LA
Allie Hansen as she is now called after Syd Hansen and her family adopted her walked out of the gate with Syd Hansen herself and looked around for Mandy Moore's manager John. School had just ended and Allie was finally well after being stuck in the hospital after her bone marrow transplant. Kyle Burns her boyfriend had recently given her some of his bone marrow and that was something she could never repay him for. Allie smiled as she thought about the look on Kyle's face when she'd told him that Mandy had invited her to tour with her and promote the story of having cancer and the bone marrow transplant.
"I'll miss you like crazy," Kyle had said as they sat outside on the back porch of the Hansen house. "But I know this is an excellent opprunity for you so I won't stand in the way."
Allie could have kissed him for saying that and she actually did. She'd promised she'd write and that was exacty what she was going to do.
"Hurry up Al," Syd said her voice breaking into Allie's thoughts. "John is waiting for us."
"Coming," Allie said. They quickly got their bags and waited for John's limo to pull up. Finally it came and Alle and Syd got in.
"Welcome ladies," John said as the limo pulled away from the curb. "Mandy is so excited about you coming Allie. She said she wanted to get started right away but I told her you would need time to settle in. Mandy is at the house waiting for you, probably puting a whole in the floor as we speak."
Allie laughed. She had never been this excited before and it was killing her. Soon they arrived at Mandy's house. Allie's jaw dropped when she saw how big it was. It was a two story white house that overlooked the ocean. Allie looked around as the driver drove up the long driveway. The sun shown down on the water making everything sparkle. This was home for the next month or the next two weeks according to Mandy. Allie got out of the car followed by Syd and John and John led them up some stairs and into a big room with high windows. There was a TV straight ahead as soon as you walked in, a couch directly in front of it and sliding glass doors to the right. Then Allie heard running and turned around to see Mandy running down some long wooden steps.
"I'm so glad you're here," Mandy said excitedly. She gave Allie a hug. "I saw you pull up from my window."
"Oh my gosh your house is amazing, " Allie said as Mandy led her up the long stair case. "I could get used to this."
"Its nice but it gets lonly sometimes. My parents aren't able to stay with me full time," Mandy explained. She led Allie to a room that had a huge bed two windows that overlooked the ocean and a HUGE walk in closet plus her own bathroom.
"I'll let you get settled in then we'll talk," Mandy said. She headed for the door.
'No, stay," Allie said. "We can talk while I unpack."
Mandy sat down at Allie's white desk. "So how are you feeling?"
"Great!" Allie said. "I wasn't able to return to school but I passed ninth grade, by a miracle. Kyle helped me a lot, he's so sweet."
"You two are good together," Mandy said.
"Is it true that you and Shane West are going out?" Allie asked.
Mandy laughed. "I wish. No, its not. I don't know where the fans get stuff like that."
"Hey I'm one of them," Allie said. "Sorry I stole your song, Only Hope."
"You didn't steal it," Mandy said. "Don't worry about it. All I want us to do is to make people aware of cancer and how so many are suffering."
"Just like me," Allie whispered. "Could we maybe visit hospitals while we're touring too, you know visit kids who are to sick to leave so we could make their lives a little bit brighter?"
"That is an AWESOME idea," Mandy said. "I'll talk to John and see what he thinks. I think Syd and he are talking right now."
Then there was a knock at the door and Allie and Mandy looked up to see Syd standing in the doorway.
"Getting settled OK?" Mandy asked her.
"Yes, thanks," Syd said. "What about you Al?"
"I'm OK," Allie said. "Did you call Joanie and let her know we're here?'
"I will later," Syd promised. "But first I'd like to go sight see, since we didn't do much of that the last time we were here."
"Well hopefully I won't get sick on you," Allie said as she hung up a dress.
'We have to go shopping," Mandy said.
"Yep, that's a must," Allie said beaming. She put her suit case under the bed and sighed. "OK I'm done."
"Let's go tour the city then," Mandy said standing up. "I'll take you to all the good shoppig spots."
Allie smiled. She was having fun already and the tour hadn't even begun yet.
The girls shopped for four hours and then went out to dinner. at a cute little cafe. They grabbed a table, placed their orders and talked.
'So when does the tour start?" Syd asked.
'In two weeks," Mandy said. "Tickets are already sold out.'
"Really?" Allie asked. 'Wow."
"I know i was surprised too," Mandy said. "Al I know you're going to be nervous but don't worry I'll be with you every moment and we're going to sing Only Hope together and maybe Cry."
"Awesome," Allie said. "I have both memorized."
"That doesn't surprise me," Mandy said. "We'll do a quick run through before each show and then before hand and afterword we'll sign autagrahps. We'll also be able to visit some hospitals. Lets talk to John about that tonight," Mandy siad as she took a sip of her coke. "I'm really not supposed to drink this but I've got to live a little.":
Syd laughed. "I know what you mean."
'So Syd do you have any brothers or sisters?" Mandy asked turning to Syd. "How long did you work here in LA?"
"Four years," Syd said. "I live in the same house as my sister Joanie who has a four year old daughter and with my dad. I also have a brother who recently got married to a sweet lady named Tina and she has a stepson named Pete and then Allie came into te picture."
"And I'm here to stay," Allie said with a smile.
"Wow," Mandy said obviously impressed. "Well we're going to have a blast this month."
"I'm soo excited," Allie said. She took a sip of her coke.
"Great! Then let's get this show on the road," Mandy said.
Allie smiled. 'I couldn't agree more."
When the girls got back to the house they found John in the living room.
'Just the person I wanted to see," Mandy said. "Allie has an awesome idea for the tour. Tell him Al."
'Well I was thinking that since this is for cancer patients we could go up to the cancer floor of different hospitals and try to make these kid's lives a little bit better. Some of them are too sick to leave the hospital. I know when I was in the hospiital I loved it when Mandy came to see me."
"That's a great idea ," John said excitedly. "We'll do it in between shows and rehearsals."
"I knew he'd go for it," Mandy said. She stood up. "Come on Al we can talk before bed."
"OK," Allie said following Mandy up the stairs. "Night Syd."
"Night kiddo," Syd said.
Allie went up the stais and got ready for bed. She went into Mandy's room to find Mandy sitting at her dresser. '"Wow nice room."
"Thanks," Mandy said. She turned around. "Do you want to call your boyfriend?"
Allie looked at the clock. "Why so you can talk to him too? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Haven't you heard Warren and I broke up right before I started shooting A Walk to Remember," Mandy said. "But it was probably for the best."
Allie picked up the phone and dialed Kyle's number. He answered on the first ring.
"Hello?" Kyle asked.
"Hey its me," Allie said. "Just wanted to tell you that I got here safely and that Mandy and I went shopping. The tour starts in two weeks."
"I miss you already," Kyle said.
"And she misses you too," Mandy yelled.
Allie pushed her away. "Anyway I gotta go. We're going to bed soon. Hope I didn't wake you."
'Nope," Kyle said. "I was waiting for you to call."
Allie smiled. "Bye.'
'Bye Al," Kyle said and hung up.
Allie hung up the phone, a smile on her face.
"You are so lucky," Mandy said. "I wish I had a boyfriend like that."
"You do. Shane West," Allie said. "Admit it you like him Mandy. You guys have great on-screen chemistry what about off-screen."
"I don't know," Mandy said flopping down on her bed. "Maybe."
Allie smiled to herself. So this was what if felt like to have an older sister.
