Disclaimer: In a perfect world I would at least own the show on DVD...sadly I do not.

Ryan knocked on the all too familiar backstage door.

"Come in"

"Hi I'm R..."

"Ryan, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm David. You are kind of a legend around here. It's not every local band that can say a former member won a Grammy."

"Well thanks. I brought two friends with me. This is my girlfriend Stacy."

"Hi. You were in the band too, right?"

"Yes for six years actually."

"Riley had some old VHS tapes he converted to digital for us to look at. You could really belt out a song. We don't even touch Whitney Houston songs because none of us do them half as good as you."

"Aww. Thank you. I've seen you guys perform. I'm sure you guys could do them."

"And this is Lucas Paver."

The kids in the room all stood and stared. It wasn't every day that a world famous recording artist came back stage to meet them.

"Hi guys. I'm really looking forward to your show tonight."

Silence.

"Yeah Lucas has been dying to see what Stacy and I always talk about."

More silence.

"So would you guys like to take a picture with Lucas and Ryan?"

Now the silence was followed by each kid nodding their head.

"Ok so let's all get together. A little closer. Ok ready. One. Two. Three... Let me take another just in case. One. Two. Three...perfect. It's a great picture. I'll email it to Riley."

The kids just stared at Lucas in stunned silence.

"So we will let you guys get ready for your show. Knock 'em dead!"

Ryan turned towards his friends and tilted his head towards the door. As the three of them left the room they couldn't help but giggle.

"Those poor kids. They were shell shocked when you walked in Lucas."

"I know. I feel bad. Maybe Riley should gave warned them I was coming."

"I think they still would have reacted that way. Remember how we were as kids? People on tv were mystical. I don't know how I would have reacted if someone famous walked backstage."

"Ryan, you still would have been cool...I would have been...well I would have reacted the same as them."

They all laughed as they walked back to the front of the house. All is a sudden Lucas stopped short.

"Who is that talking to your sister?"
