A few weeks later, the girls flew to America to meet with TV and film executibes to promote the idea of a nineties style Hard Day's Night.
The stretch limo had parked behind a blue-and-white Cheverolet taxi. Looming overhead was a floodlit billboard with a seventy-foot-high picture of Kevin Costner.
Serena pointed to the limo. "Is that for us?"
Simon nodded and smiled.
"Welcome to California." The driver said, rasining his cap.
"Leather seats," saidl Victoria.
"Tinted windows," added Mel C.
"Will you look at this. It's a television!" Geri said excitedly.
"This is the life, isn't it girls?" Serena asked, resting back on the seat.
"You got that right Sere." Said Mel C.
The limo pulled up outside the Four Seasons Hotel.
"I could get used to this," Mel B. announed, as she popped her head through the adjoing door to her and Geri's room. "Have you seen the bathroom? Someone could drown in that tub."
"I Could swim laps." Geri replied.
After 6 days of meeting with film and TV people, the girls flew to Hawaii for a holiday on the island of Maui. Geri, not remembering it was her birthday, got a big surprise from the girls.
"Geri, come here! I want you to see this dress I got." Serena said, luring Geri into her room.
"Okay. Hold on." Geri said, slipping off her shoes. They walked down to Serena's room.
"SURPRISE GERI! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the girls screamed.
"Oh my god! I compelety forgot!" Geri said, starting to cry.
"Don't cry!" Victoria said, giving her a hug.
"Hear, we all got this for you." Mel C. said handing her a present. Geri opend it, and it was a personal CD player.
"Thank you so much girls." Geri said, they all got into a big group hug.
"So, Geri, today is your day. What do you wanna do?" Serena asked.
"hmm..lets go see WaterWorld." Geri said.
"Alright"
"Sounds good." They all slipped on there shoes, and went.
5 days later, the girls were back in London at the studio. They were finishing up a corus to a song called "2 Become 1".
"I need some love like I've never needed love before," sang Serena and Geri.
"Wanna make love to ya baby," Mel C. and Victoria sang.
"I've had alittle love, now I'm back for more." Geri and Serena sang.
"Wanna Make love to ya baby,"
"Set your spirit free. It's the only way to be." Mel B. finished up.
By the time they were done, it was 4 a.m.
It seemed obvious to all of them that "Wannbe" would there first single. While the girls were recording a song called "Love Thing", Geri slipped out of the studop and found a jeweler's shop in Sheffield town center where she bough five identical gold rings.
"Do you do engraving?" Geri asked.
He shook his head. "There's a shoe repair up the road that also cuts keys." She went up to the shop.
"Yeah, love, what can I do?"
"I want the word 'spice' on the outside and '1 of 5' on the inside of the band."
Back at the studio she chose a moment when they were all together. "I want to have a little anniversary ceremony," she said, "It's a year since we recored our first song on our own."
She handed them each a ring box. "We've overcome a lot to get here. And soon all that hard work will have paid off. I hope that we're always this close. We're each one of five. Together we can do anyhing."
