Hey! So I hope you liked Chapter One. I didn't see any reviews here, though. I hope that will change! :D :D Here's Chapter Two. For those of you just tuning in, on the last episode of Glee...just kidding. It's not an episode of Glee. But during the first chapter, Tess, the creator of the Facebook page Team Darren Criss, met her admin buddies for the first time in real life. They are attending a Starkid show, but things go awry when the Starkids become AWOL a few minutes before the show. So, the group decides to walk around and find a bathroom. Hope you enjoy Chapter two! :D :D
A/N: Nothing belongs to me, except maybe the plot lines. Well, that belongs to my subconscious, because this was actually a dream I had a few weeks ago. Since it was so good, I wrote it down as soon as I woke up. Starkid belongs to Matt Lang, Nick Lang, Brian Holden, and Darren Criss (who created it) and the rest of the SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT cast! :D :D
"I can still hear the singing," Tess remarked as they walked toward the gas station.
The others strained their ears. They were only a couple hundred feet from the arena, but the singers were loud.
"So can I!"
"Me too!"
"Are they singing…Get Back Up?"
"Aww, I love that song," Helen replied. She started singing, right on cue with the fans. "We're here to get the job done, doesn't matter, small or a ton, and when we're down, and there's none we can do…"
The others joined in for the end, still walking to the gas station.
We gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!
I gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!
We gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!
We gotta get up,
Gotta get back,
Get back,
Get back, I'm gonna get back,
GET BACK UP!
They started laughing and applauding themselves. Tess took a bow, followed by Helen, then Cherie, then Jonno, and finally Thomas.
"I wish we'd met earlier," Thomas commented. "I cannot believe I'm with so many Starkids! It's a dream come true!"
"And our shirts!" Jonno added. They each had on a Starkid shirt they'd made individually, and were commenting on each as they kept walking.
Tess's and Jess's were complete opposites of each other. Tess's said, "This is my Ron" with an arrow pointing to the right. Jess's said, "This is my Harry" with an arrow pointing to the left. On the back, the whole scene where Harry and Ron meet in AVPS was written out. Some other quotes were sprawled around the shirt, with an iron-on of the pink sunglasses on the front.
All of the guys had handmade Keep Calm shirts. The picture at the top was the Sorting Hat (on Jake's and Thomas's) and the pink Starkid sunglasses (on Jonno's). The back was filled with quotes.
Jake's said, "Keep Calm and 1.)I'm a Little White Lie, 2.)What the HELL is a Hufflepuff? 3.)I Wanna Be a Starship Ranger, 4.)Why That's Absurd! 5.)Who Can Take the Sunrise, and Sprinkle It With BLOOD!"
Thomas's said, "Keep Calm and 1.)Duder's a Spy, 2.)Hufflepuffs are Particularly Good Finders, 3.)Me and Horses Got a Feud, 4.)You're Absurd! 5.)I Wanna Be Somebody's Buddy."
Jonno's said, "Keep Calm and 1.)Why is Toby in the Hot Girls? He's Not a Hot Girl, 2.)I Can't Go to Pigfarts—It's On Mars, 3.)Get Your Zappers and Set Them to PEW, 4.)That's Absurd! 5.)I Wanna Be a Modern Dancer.
Cherie's shirt had a giant iron-on pair of pink Starkid sunglasses, with quotes all around, ranging from, "Did you get mah text?" to "Have a Redvine" to "Kick It Up a Notch." The back had the ENTIRE lyrics to Days of Summer and Getting Back to Hogwarts.
On the front of Helen's shirt, there was a list. It said, "My Future Husband: []Joey []Joe []Darren []Nick []Tyler []Nick []Brolden []Brosenthal []Jim []JoMo []Jeff [√]All of the Above." The last one was checked, as it should be. The back had a drawing of the pink sunglasses and quotes.
They were, in a word, proud of their shirts.
Right before they saw the gas station, Tess made the comment, "Our shirts are totally awesome!"
Walking into the gas station, Cherie turned to the others and winked. "Race you to the bathroom."
They dodged a pretty, tall sandy blonde-haired girl who was checking out at the cash register.
"Sorry!" Helen threw back over her shoulder as she raced.
The girls were gaining on the bathroom. Tess was in the lead, with Cherie right behind. Helen was half a foot behind Cherie. The boys were walking, nonchalantly, laughing at their friends.
"I bet Cherie wins," Thomas remarked.
"Eh, it'll be Tess," Jonno shot back.
"Wanna bet on it?" Thomas asked.
"You're on." Jonno shook Thomas's hand. "Two packs of Redvines. And a Starkid t-shirt."
The two looked at each other and chorused, "And you have to be my slave for a whole day starting now!" They laughed.
"Hey, guys, what's up?"
They looked up, noticing Jake and Jess right in front of them, holding drinks and candy.
"Hey, dude! Welcome back!" Thomas said.
"Thanks!" Now, what are the girls doing?"
"Racing to the bathroom, duh."
The guys laughed, turning to observe their friends.
Tess, laughing, was still in the lead. She reached the bathroom door handle less than half a second before Helen and Cherie, who tied.
"I won!" Tess exclaimed before opening the door.
The bathroom was small, but nice. There were three stalls, two of which were full.
"I guess I'll go first," Tess remarked. She opened one of the stalls.
"Can I have some toilet paper?" A hand popped under the wall of Tess's stall.
"Sure," she replied. She gave the stranger some toilet paper.
"Oh," another voice called. "And some for me, too?"
"Okay, that's fine." Tess grabbed some more paper and handed it around.
"We've been in here for a while, waiting for someone to give us some. I was actually about to get out and get some when you all walked in." The first girl giggled.
Flush. Flush. The two stall doors opened. Helen and Cherie switched places with the girls.
Tess finished and flushed. She opened her stall door and walked out to wash her hands.
What she saw next she would never forget. It was the greatest thing she'd ever seen. She squealed and felt faint. Tess had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She looked into the brunette's brown eyes and the darker brunette's blue eyes. Her smile grew larger.
"You're…you're…you're…you're…" she stammered, unable to put a full sentence together.
"Are you going to say it, or is this going to turn into a bad rendition of The Grinch?" the brown-eyed brunette said, laughing.
"You're Lauren Lopez! And you're Jaime Lyn Beatty!" she practically screamed. She could not believe this was happening. She heard two flushes, letting her know the others were anxious to see the Starkids.
"And, you're a fan." Jaime gestured to Tess's shirt. "I love your shirt. Does someone else have a 'This is My Harry' shirt?"
"Yes!" Tess exclaimed. She was still so excited. As her friends came into view, she saw they had shocked expressions. "My friend Jess has the Harry shirt. We made them."
"Those are crazy cool!" Lauren remarked, noticing the others. "Hi, I'm Lauren."
"H-h-hi Lauren," Helen stammered.
"I know you're famous and all," Cherie started. "But I kinda need to wash my hands."
"Oh." Jaime realized they were standing in the way, so she and Lauren shifted over to make room.
Helen and Cherie walked to the sink and washed their hands. They turned to the performers.
"I'm Helen." Helen held her recently washed hand out and shook both performers' hands.
"And I'm Cherie." Cherie did the same.
"I'd love to stay and chat," Jaime remarked. "But if you haven't realized, we're in a bathroom." She gestured around.
Helen blinked. "So, do you want to go talk in the store?"
Lauren made her way to the door. "Let's go."
She opened the door, revealing an awe-struck Jess. The boys had disappeared outside, trying to get some fresh air.
"Look who we found," Tess said, still smiling, to her friend.
Jess's smile grew to stretch across her face. "Wow! That's amazing! They were just in the bathroom?" She looked confused.
"Yes," Lauren laughed. "Even famous people have to pee."
Jess was still a bit confused. "Yeah, I understand that. But why are you using the bathroom in a gas station—" She paused, thinking. "—a mile and a half from your show site?"
"Ah. That question." Jaime made eye contact with Lauren, a silent conversation happening through their eyes.
"Well—" Lauren began.
"If you really want to know—" Jaime picked up.
"Our bus broke down." The two said this simultaneously and then began to laugh.
"It sounds so crazy when you say that out loud," Lauren remarked.
Tess, shocked, stared at the girls. "So, where's your bus?"
Jaime looked at the fan. "It's about three miles that way." She pointed in the opposite direction of the arena.
"And…you haven't found a way to the arena yet? When'd it break down?" Cherie, ever the responsible one, felt a hole in their story.
"It broke down a few hours ago." Lauren held up her hand. "And before you ask, no, we couldn't have carried EVERYTHING we have piled in our truck, which is attached to our bus. So, we've been trying to find a gas station to fix our bus."
Jaime took over the story. "But, when we got here, the mechanic part of the gas station was closed. So now, we're just walking around, buying some food, trying to find a place to use the bathroom. We would've used it on the bus, but it's a little, well, it doesn't work when the bus isn't moving. Plus it would stink like a port-a-potty." She wrinkled her nose.
Tess looked around, and noticed the boys were missing. "Hey, Jess," she asked her friend. "Do you know where the guys went?"
Jess shook her head. "I guess they went outside, maybe? Let's go look."
The group left the gas station, with Lauren and Jaime tagging along.
In the next chapter, where are the boys? Will the Starkids figure out how to fix their bus? What the HECK is happening about the concert? Will the man with the megaphone get pummeled by a bunch of fangirls and fanboys? Review this chapter and stay tuned! :D :D
