The rain pounded hard against the black limosine as it pulled up to the Kingston Stadium in Kingston, Georgia. Five people exited the car with bodyguards surrounding them. Umbrellas covered them from the harsh cold rain and were pulled down as they entered the stadium. A tall redhead bounced on the balls of her feet when they stopped at a dressing room. The 5 people walked in and shook out what little rain had fallen on them. The redhead smiled excitedly at the people around her. They'd been together since the beginning. Her eyes wandered around the elaborate room filled with abstract paintings and fruit baskets. Her gaze fell upon her friends.
"Hey Chris ya nervous?" She asked the very broad shouldered blonde on the leather couch.
"Nah." He answered. He reached for her and she smiled and walked to him. Sitting on his lap she had to grin when he kissed her neck. "Baby you know I always get nervous before a show."
"If you two start feeding each other fruit I swear I'm going to puke." A rainbow haired guy leaning against the wall whined and threw his hands in the air.
"Hey good idea!" The red head smiled and picked up some grapes. She and the blonde traded off on feeding each other.
"I swear Jeff you have to stop giving them ideas!" Another blonde said from his seat on a plush chair.
"Shannon it's not my fault Chris is whipped." Jeff laughed and jumped when the red head threw a grape at him.
"Wha pa pa!" Shannon moved his hand in a whipping motion and Jeff stared blankly at him. "What?"
"What was that?"he asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"A whip."
"That's not a whip. Watchaw!"Jeff made the same whipping motion. "That is a whip."
"That's what I did. Wha pa pa!"
"You can't do anything!"
"Shut up!"Shannon started to say something else when he too was hit with a grape. He grabbed it an tossed it back, hitting Chris in the head.
"Ok that's it!" Chris picked up a ripe tomato Lita liked to have them for some weird beauty secret. Turing it in his hand he flung it at Shannon who wasn't quick enough to move out of the way. Shannon looked down after he'd been hit at the big red stain on his jeans.
"This means war!" Shannon shouted picking up a tomato of his own. Jumping on the couch he squeezed it on Lita's head.
"AH!" Lita jumped up from her seat on Chris's lap. "What did I do!?"
"You threw the grape." Jeff smirked.
"Oh I got your grape." Chris grinned and threw a tomato at Jeff's head hitting him straight in the face.
"This means war!" Jeff yelled out and another plump tomato hit him. Lita sat grinning nuttily at him. He leapt on the couch and attacked her sides tickling her. She started giggling and the sound turned into an infectious laughter. Shannon and Chris joined in each grabbing a tomato on their way. When Lita and Jeff were too preoccupied laughing the two blondes raised their tomato filled hands.
"This is what you guys do when I'm not here?" A bubbly voice rang out and the group turned to look at their manager. Her dark braids swung in her face and she smiled at them. The blue jeans and blue sweater went well with her coca complexion and her outfit was complete with a pair of black docs.
"Mercy!" Lita whined.
"LITA!" Mercy mocked.
"Oh yeah." Shannon said and slammed the tomato onto Jeff's head just as Chris did the same to Lita. They then turned to Mercy.
"Don't even try it I have a meeting with Cold Fire's manager in 45 minutes!" Mercy pointed her finger at the two advancing blondes.
"Do you think she'll follow through and kill us if we do what she thinks we'll do?" Chris asked Shannon off to the side.
"I dunno has she had her Pepsi for the day?" Shannon replied.
"Yes I have had my Pepsi for the day and I'm pretty calm and chill." Mercy said and they began to advance again. "But you try it and you'll wake up bald."
"Chris as a bald man." Lita began to imagine the image and then shuddered. "Sorry babe baldness just isn't you. Leave our nice manger and friend alone."
"Darn it!" Chris snapped his fingers and laughed returning to his place on the couch.
"I still can't believe we have to tour with that "band"." Jeff mumbled making the quote signs with his fingers.
"Yeah well they remind me of a pop group." Lita groaned. "Where do they get off calling themselves a band. They didn't do half the things we did to get here. Just competed in a contest for a record deal."
"The troubles are what help shape the band. What are we if we haven't broken up a couple of times to improve ourselves?" Chris looked at his band-mates.
"Well at least they write their own music and don't alter their sound in the studio." Shannon piped up cheerfully. "And the front woman is pretty cute."
"She calls herself the princess of punk." Lita raised her eyebrow at Shannon.
"And we all know who the Queen of Rock is." Chris smiled at his girlfriend. She wrote alot of the music for the group.
"Yeah well guys you have to get along with them for at least this one tour." Mercy stated.
"Merc!" Lita groaned. "The tour is one year long!"
"Well…just at least be civil!" Mercy tried again and Jeff smiled at her.
"Don't worry Merc I'll keep them in line!" Jeff saluted her and she replied in the same way.
"Ok guys I have to go get to this meeting for some insane reason the manager of Cold Fire wants to have it in town. I'll be back before the sound check and the meet and greet in your real dressing room down the hall there's more goodies.
"PS2?!" Jeff jumped up.
"Specially requested games." Mercy said. "And no surprise it's the new Buffy game and a bunch of wrestling ones."
"Hey I got my reasons!" Jeff nodded solemnly "That Buffy is really hot!"
"So is the drummer for Cold Fire!" Lita said under her breath. The entire room went quiet and she felt four pairs of eyes on her. "C'mon he's Jeff's brother he's alright."
"I don't have a brother." The room got silent as Jeff said this. Chris turned and waggled his eyebrows at her.
"Well… not as hot as Chris of course." Lita giggled. "Your muscles are bigger."
"Stop Lita before his ego grows so large it has it own website!" Shannon joked. Chris had been working on an alter ego for the stage that had a major ego trip.
"Bye!" Mercy laughed throwing an apologetic look at Jeff before exiting the room. Walking down the hall she hit every mark on her mental checklist.
1. Make sure band doesn't kill the leather couch
2. Make sure the limo and dressing rooms are all ready
3. Make sure everything is set up
4. Don't fall in love with anyone in the music business especially if they're on the tour.
Smiling to herself she hurried to the other side of the stadium for her meeting.
