Me: Okay! Um, whose turn is it today?
Dougie and Tom: -waves hands energetically-
Me: Um…. let's save Dougie for last, 'cause he's second on my list of cute guys.
Tom: I'm not even gonna ask…anyways, REVIEWS!
dsfga: Sirius's Daughter thinks that this review makes it sound like you're never going to read it again…
Me: DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEE!!! -sobs-
redneckbabe: So the coolness made up for length? Awesome…
Mrs Dougie Lee Poynter: She's planning on making you a sort of not quite main character, but you have a fairly large part. And Dougie gives you hugs.
Roch4Tom: Hey! I hope it's me too…
Me: Good God…
Tom: Shut up. Anyways, and of course, weihnachtskeks3: This competition is gonna get out of hands, I can feel it.

"SING!?" Harry exclaimed a while after Julia, Geni, and Jake had left. "She wants us to SING to her!?"
"Look, dude, you don't have THAT bad of a voice!" Dougie said indignantly from his position on the bed, which was sprawled spread eagle, reading a book (Oh…mah…gee…)
"Harry, mate, it won't be that bad!" Danny exclaimed, his eyes sparkling. "Remember, we have that gig at that pub…bar thingy tonight? We can dedicate a song to her, and when you do a drum solo, sing!"
"Danny," Harry said, grabbing the guy by the shoulders and shaking him. "Earth to Danny freaking Jones! There will be tons of people there! We can't just go around dedicating songs!"
"Actually, Harry, Danny just gave me an idea…" Tom trailed off, then leapt up.
"A dedicated show!"
"A WHATNOW show?" Harry asked loudly.
"A show that we dedicate loads of songs to people! It's simple! We can call fans up from the audience and play there favorite songs, dedicated to them! If anyone comes, of course…" he trailed off.
"Dude, NO ONE is gonna come! We just released our single yesterday!"
"Actually, Julia called while you were gone doing that one thing you wouldn't talk about and said that they played our song. Like, 3 times on 3 different MAJOR stations," Danny said slyly. The other boys' jaws dropped to the ground.
"SERIOUSLY?!" they all said at the same time. Danny nodded, then looked at his watch.
"Dudes, we gotta, go, sound check is in 15 minutes!"
The boys looked at each other, grabbed their things, and raced out, off to the alley.
AT THE ALLEY
"We're here!" Tom called breathlessly, running in, followed by the others.
"Thank God, you're just in time!" Jake called, rushing over to them. "Come on, get onstage, you start in 5 minutes!"
"Jake, we're gonna dedicate all the songs in the show so we can sing to Julia," Tom explained hurriedly. Jake stopped dead.
"Dude, you don't have to do it NOW," he said desperately. "Do it later, at the apartment, somewhere! JUST NOT HERE."
"Too late," he said, and went onstage to tune his guitar with Danny. Soon, people began not just trickling in, but pouring in: apparently, lots of people had heard the single, loved it, then heard that they were performing. They scanned the crowd, and finally spotted Julia and Geni weaving their way towards them.
"Guys! Look at all the people," Julia said excitedly. "Break a leg!"
"Just…not literally…" Geni said, wincing. "THAT would suck."
Julia laughed, and then said, "Well, guys, we'll leave you to it!"
They raced offstage and disappeared into the crowd, laughing and chatting with people asking how they knew them.
"All of a sudden, I'm really nervous," Danny said, staring into the crowd, his face pale.
"Me too." Harry said, playing with his drumsticks. Tom didn't answer, just looked around and growing paler by the second.
"Okay guys," Jake said, running up to them. "It's time to start. Who's the first song dedicated to?"
Danny, Tom, and Harry looked at each other and said in unison, "Julia."
Jake shrugged and walked up to the microphone.
"Are you all ready for some McFly?!" he yelled. The crowd roared in response. "Alright! Now, before they start, we just wanna say that they are dedicating songs throughout the show. The first one is to a girl who helped them get this deal, my cousin Julia (I don't know last names)!"
The crowd cheered in response as the boys began to play a song the crowd had never heard called "Met This Girl (it rocks!)". They loved it. Whenever they got a chance, the boys would sneak looks at Julia and Geni. Julia's eyes were shining, and they were both dancing and cheering. When they finished the song, Tom grabbed his microphone and said, "I want Julia herself to come up here and help us out!"
Danny, Harry, and Dougie stared at him as if he was insane.
"What the HELL are you DOING?!" Harry hissed violently as Julia, confused, made her way onstage. Tom just gave them a look that clearly said, "I know what I'm doing, shut up!"
"Julia, would you be so kind as to help us with a song?" Tom said, helping her onstage. She just smiled and nodded.
"Alright! This song is called, 'Too Close For Comfort,'" he said, and started playing. The rest of the band just shrugged and went with it. Soon, they got to her favorite part and, her eyes shining, she began to sing with more feeling than she had for the entire song (remember, Danny, Julia, Tom, all)
All this time you've
been telling me lies What was I just about to
discover
Hidden in bags that are under your eyes
And
I when I asked you I knew I was right
But if you took it
back on me now
When I need you most
But you just let me down,
down, downWould you think about what you're about
to do to me
And back down...
Was I invading
in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You're pushing
me out
When I'm wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When
I'm wanting in
(Yeh yeh yeh)
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know
As they finished, the crowd exploded into cheers and applause. Julia smiled, and gave all of the guys a hug before she left the stage. Danny grinned, and then said, "Alright, it's Dougie's turn! Dougster," he turned to Dougie, who was blushing a dark red and smiling. "Who's the lucky person?"
"Um…I guess…Geni," he said. The boys looked out in the audience to see the girls jumping up and down, squealing.
"TOLD YOU!" they heard Julia yell over the noise of the cheering crowd.
"What song, Dougie boy?" Tom asked. Dougie thought for a second, and then said, "Let's go with 'I Wanna Hold You'."
"Good choice," Danny yelled, then walked over to Dougie and said, "You're asking her out after this, right?"
Dougie blushed again and nodded. Danny grinned, and walked over to microphone.
"Okay, Geni, this is for you from Dougie!" he shouted, and then they began to play.
Tell me that you
want me baby I wanna hold you I wanna hold you
Tell me that it's true
Say the magic words
And
I'll destroy the world for you
An army for the broken-hearted
Are
marching throught the streets
And every city's burning
Through
the ground under your feet
My skies are
turning black
And I'd
do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
I'd melt
the polar ice caps baby
Watch them flood the earth
And I'd do
anything to show you
What your love is worth
So won't you show
me your devotion
To heal my aching heart
It's like an neutron
bomb explosion
Tearing me apart
My
skies are turning black
And
I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
Attention
please!
We interrupt this program
With some disturbing
news
World wide evacuation
We're going to lose
And they've
pulverized the nation
I guess it shows us just what love can
do
At that, Danny began to play his solo, making almost
half of the girls there shriek in delight. When he finished, he raced
back to hi microphone as Tom began to sing.
I wanna hold
you
My skies are turning black
(Feels like a
heart-attack)
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold
you bad, bad, bad
I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
1 HOUR LATER
"Thank you all for coming tonight! We'll be mingling with you all, so look out for us!" Tom said and walked offstage, grinning. Jake, Julia, and Geni raced up to them.
"Guys, you were AWESOME!" Jake exclaimed, slapping them on their backs.
"Thanks for the dedications!" Julia said, hugging them. Geni shyly went up to Dougie, smiling.
"Thanks, Dougie," she said quietly. "I-I really do like you."
And with that, she gave him a feather-light kiss on the cheek. Dougie's eyes widened.
"Will you go out with me?" he blurted, then blushed dark red. Geni smiled and nodded. Julia jumped up and down and hugged her two friends.
"This is so awesome! You two are so CUTE together!" she squealed. "Listen, I've gotta run, I'm watching Katy again. You guys are welcome to drop in at any time!"
She rushed off after giving all of th guys huge hugs, and Danny, Tom, and Harry stared after her. Jake walked up to them and said quietly, "Phase One of Operation: Hook Julia is complete."
