Chapter 6

"We are back and we are happening!" Drew yelled as he stood in circle of dancers, singers, and everyone else that helped with the show.

"Now guy I know this is our first concert after our little holiday break," Kenny started, "So I really need you guys to channel the Queen and England and make everyone out there feel important."

The group of people cheered loudly.

"What team?" Corbin yelled fiercely.

"Wildcats!" everyone yelled back.

"What team?"

"Wildcats!"

"Wildcats!"

"Get your head in the game!"

The group broke apart and ran to their starting positions.

"Sergeant." Vanessa smiled at Corbin.

"Baby V." he shot a smile back to her.

The group preformed their heart that show. They were practically falling all over each other when the light went out.

"Good show!" Mo said as they reached back stage.

"Great show!" Lucas yelled.

Kenny joined the group of six. "Okay you guys that was an amazing show! And I know tomorrow you have a day off, but we still need you on the bus in one hour."

Everyone shook their heads and ran off to their dressing rooms.

"So when does Zac come to visit?" Ashley asked, linking arms with Vanessa.

"A few days." She told her.

"You excited?"

"Uh, yeah." Vanessa said after a long pause.

"Okay, that didn't sound like a very positive 'yeah.'"

"It's just that we've been apart for a really long time."

"But shouldn't that make it more exciting to see him?"

"Yeah." Vanessa nodded, "I just my emotions are still crazy weird from the holidays."

-------------------

"So what are we going to do for our day off?" Vanessa asked as her and Corbin wandered around the lobby.

"Well seeing as you just slept for 12 hours straight I doubt that you want to sleep." Corbin said.

"That is correct."

"We could eat?" he suggested. "There are a few restaurants down the street."

Vanessa groaned, "I'm tired of eating out. Why don't we eat in?"

"Um, V. We're on the road. There isn't really eating in."

"Hello? Ever heard of room service?"

Corbin laughed, "Okay you win. We'll go order room service."

"Score one for Baby V!" Vanessa pumped her first on the air. "And a movie?"

"Isn't that a given?"

"True. Very True."

An hour later Corbin and Vanessa were sitting in her hotel room, waiting.

"I hate room service." Vanessa groaned.

"They said it would take 45 minutes. They are not going to be late."

"And I hate not being 21."

Corbin groaned, "Here we go."

"Why does everyone else get to go out and we have to stay in?" Vanessa complained.

"Because we aren't allowed in bars." Corbin said calmly.

"But seriously? It sucks that all of our friends get to go out and we have to stay in."

"We could go out." He suggested.

"No. I want to stay in. I'm just saying that it sucks that we always seem to draw the short end of the stick when it comes to parting."

Corbin turned her to face him, "Vanessa. Just let it go!"

Vanessa looked into his eyes. He was her best friend. He was always there for her, even when she was just being stupid. He was her Sergeant.

Then she leaned in and kissed him.

-------------------

Vanessa stormed into Ashley's dressing room the next morning.

"Ashley, I need to talk to you." She declared.

Ashley looked at her friend, "Look, V. This really isn't a good time." She said as she held her head.

"I kissed Corbin." She said hastily.

Ashley stared at her friend, "I slept with Drew."
