Finally, got to update this fic. Anyways, it's sort of a boring chapter. Sorry.

Btw, I do not own HoA. That's all. x


Saturday, day of gig at Uncle Aide's:

Nina's POV:

We all rehearsed for the past few days. We will be performing "E.T." today at the storefront of Uncle Aide's shop. We are all nervous but we are all excited, too.

Mara, Amber and I are dressed up in the same colors and Amber has just finished her hair and make-up and is now starting Mara's.

"Uhm, Nina, what do you think would suit Mara? The pink eyeshadow or the green one? I can't choose." Amber suddenly half-whined from the vanity table.

"Ask Mara, what she likes, but I think the green one would be better." I tell Amber and she then asks Mara, quite impatiently.

"The green one please." Mara said politely. As Amber was dabbing the applicator at the green eyeshadow someone knocked at the door. I turned to open it and standing in the hallway is no other than my love, Fabian.

"Hi Nines! Hey Ambs, Mara!" He greeted cheerfully to us. He sounded giddy and excited. Mara and Amber nodded at him. I gave him a quick kiss.

"Are we leaving already?" I asked him. He wouldn't be standing there for no reason.

"What? Nina's make-up isn't done yet!" Amber complained. I chuckled at what she said.

"Uhm, no. I just wanted to wish you all luck. Especially you." Fabian said. This caused me to blush. Suddenly, there's a flash of light.

"OMG! You two are so cute together!" Turns out it was Amber and her camera again. This moment is so totally going in one of her scrapbooks. Oh Amber, I thought as Fabian facepalmed himself.

~30 minutes later~

Jerome's POV:

"Ready, everyone?" I asked everyone as I helped Meathead get his drum set on Trudy's van.

"Of course!" Mara, Patricia and Alfie said all at the same time. Well, I guess all of us are excited, then. These three have less things in common than a flea and a rock.

"Okay, children, let's have a head count now." Trudy said as Amber, Nina and Mara bounded out of the porch.

"Fabian?"

"Here." Fabian said, cheerfully.

"Mick?"

"Present!" Mick exclaimed like a schoolboy but I was too preoccupied to make a comment.

"Alfie?"

"I'm here!" Exclaimed an ecstastic Alfie. I looked around.

"Jerome?"

"Uhh, here." I mumbled quietly. Where was Trixie?

"Nina?"

"Here." Nina blurted out with a hint of nervousness. I glance at the door.

"Amber?"

"Here, Truds!" Amber announced in her usual squealing tone. I look around.

"Mara?"

"I'm here." Mara mumbled. Patricia's about to be called but she's still not here.

"Patricia?" Trudy finally said. When no one answered, she repeated it again in a louder voice.

Patricia's POV:

Trudy was already head counting us and I still wasn't finished my make-up. I quickly dabbed some lip gloss onto my lips, put on my black leather jacket and slipped on my black pumps with spikes on the heels. I trudged as fast as I can.

Just as Trudy announced my name for a second time I burst out of the door.

"I'm here, no need to panic." I said as my housemates all turn around to look at me.

They looked at me in shock registered what I was wearing and how I did my make-up and my hair. Amber gave me a thumbs-up and a flash of her camera while Mara and Nina gave me a nod of approval.

I guess putting on some make-up and a pair of heels did make a bit of a difference, other than that, my faded blue skinnies and tight white shirt also caught their eyes. I was possessed by something to look a bit different today.

"You look nice, Patricia." Trudy remarked as I walked towards Jerome.

"Thanks, Trudy." I replied as one by one we went inside the van. As usual Alfie took the shotgun seat but he had Amber in tow because we had the instruments with us and we couldn't really fit.

Mara, Mick, Fabian and Nina sat at the middle while Jerome lead me to the back of the van beside the instruments.I kicked my heels of as we sat on the van's dusty, gray floor.

"Do you know that you look gorgeous today?" Jerome suddenly said as wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"Uhh, don't joke around, Slimeball." I replied as a blush crept onto my face. I was getting so light-headed that I ignored Amber's whining about not getting to photograph me and Jerome.

"I'm not joking." His face becoming slightly serious as his bright, blue eyes looked straight into mine.

"Well, it's nice to try something new once in a while, you know." I said as I looked away for a second. When I looked at him again he was still staring intently at me, then his eyes trailed down to my lips.

I knew exactly what he wanted so I leaned in for a kiss. Jerome's lips pressed down on mine and it stayed there for the next 5 seconds before we heard the 'aww' sound all of our housemates are saying.
