The rock star shook her head and groaned as she finished dressing for her show that would start in a couple hours, after her road crew had finished the last sound-checks and special effects set-ups, "Facing twenty thousand of your fans, how can anyone be so lonely? It's part of a success that never ends, still I'm thinking about you only...There are moments when I think I'm going crazy, but it's gonna be alright. Everything will be so different when I'm on the stage tonight..."

"'Super trouper beams are gonna blind me... But I won't feel blue like I always do," she finished pulling on the single opera glove she wore and reached out and brushed her lover's picture with her gloved fingertips, "Because somewhere in the crowd there's you."

"I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Glasgow," she said with a sigh, referring to her concert the night before in Pennsylvania, "You've made me hate being on tour; all I do is eat and sleep and sing, wishing every show was the last show."

She chuckled, "So imagine when I hear you're coming to the show tonight since it finally is the last show of the tour. Suddenly, I feel alright and everything will be so different when I'm on the stage tonight. Tonight the lights are gonna find me shining like the sun, smiling, having fun, feeling like I'm number one."

Even though it was just a picture and wasn't really him, talking to it was helping, so she continued, "Your tickets and backstage pass will be waiting, just like I'll be waiting backstage after the show. I'll be there when you arrive and the sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive... and when you take me in your arms and hold me tight, I know it's gonna mean so much tonight."

There was a knocking on the door before a voice called, "Ember, you've got final sound check in five; doors open in half an hour, so we need to do this quick."

Ember pulled her fingers away from her lover's picture with a snarl and shouted back, "Fine, I'm on my way!"

Looking at the picture one last time, Ember whispered, "See you tonight, Baby-pop."
