In Oslo, Mel C. had gone to bed, Geri spend some time to herself, Victoria was making calls to her boyfriend, and Serena
and Mel B. went out to dinner.
After ordering, Mel B. and Serena had a chat about Darien and the girls.
"Serena, why don't you move back there?" Mel asked.
"Because, my mom is in England. I don't wanna leave her." Serena said.
"Why don't you both move there then? Its not like we'll never see you again." Mel said.
"Maybe. That actually sounds like a good idea." Serena replied.
"Now...about Darien. haha." Mel B laughed.
"Oh geez. what?" Serena rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you get back with him. He's lovely. And he DOES still love you." said Mel.
"I know. I know. But, I'm not ready yet. Plus, I wanna concentrate on the Spice Girls right now. Not my destiny." Serena said.
"Well, you'd better get with him, or I will!" Mel said, jokingly.
"Right!" Serena said, playfully hitting her. Then the food came.
The girls flew back to Japan 2 weeks later to film the video for "2 Become 1". They were only there for 2 days, so the girls
decided to invite the girls, and Dairen to the shooting of the video. Everything went fantastic.
"Are they waiting for us?" asked Mel C. as she pulled the curtain back a few inches. Below the girls in Oxford Street were five thousand people, chanting for the Spice Girls.
They were holed up in the Berkshire Hotel, waiting for our cars to arrive. "Listen to that, will you," said Serena, getting misty-eyed. Mel C was also blinking back tears.
Sections of the crowd were singing "Wannabe"- spontaneously taking the different parts, so that one side sang "I'll tell you what I want what I really really want" When the other side replied, "So tell me what you want, what you really really want."
"Okay, the cars are ready," said Jerry Judge, the head of security. "Okay, go, go, go! Move, move!" He urged Geri forward. The cars edged off and moved slowly around the block, approaching Oxford Street again. Suddenly, there seemed to be a thousand stars bursting from the footpaths. They could here screams and see their faces lit up by the strobelike flashes of the cameras.
They pulled up outside the HMV store, where a cheery picker stood ready to carry them aloft to turn on the Christmas lights. As the doors open all the girls heard or saw were screaming fans and signs saying MARRY ME, SERENA! And I LOVE YOU GERI!
Dr.Fox from Radio One did the introductions and each time he mentioned a name the crowd went wild.
"So tell me, Geri, what are you doing for Christmas?" asked Foxy
"Keeping my Clothes on!" she said, and the crowd roared again. Then it was time for the countdown. They lead the crowd.
"TEN!"
"NINE!"
"EIGHT!"
"SEVEN!"
"SIX!"
"FIVE!"
"FOUR!"
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
"ONE!"
They all hit the button and the Oxford street lit up in a blaze of neon. All of there faces were beaming. For the first time, they felt truly famous.
The single for "2 Become 1" came out a few weeks before Christmas, it had sold 200,000 copies. It was going to be #1 in the U.K. which meant, the Spice
Girls achieved three consecutive number-one hits.
Arriving in london weeks later, the girls took 20 compition winners on an open-top bus tour. Everytime the girls started chatting, and TV crew appered. As they crossed london bridge and headed through Clerkenwell, Mel B looked at Geri.
"Are you sick of this" Geri asked.
"Uh Huh." Said Mel B
"Lets do something about it." Serena said.
"I'm right with you." Said Victoria.
The bus stopped at a set of traffic lights and they sprang to there feet. Racing down the stairs, and they leapt off the back of the bus.
As they sprinted down the street, laughing all the way, they could hear Camilla screaming, "Come Back! Come back!"
She got straight on the phone with Simon. "I've lost them."
"what do you mean you've lost them? How can you lose the Spice Girls?"
"They did a runner from the bus"
"Find them for christ sake. They can't just walk around the streets."
"Serena! Victoria! Mel! Get back here!" the bodygaurds yelled. Camillia had them chasing them as they dodged pedestrians and swung off lampposts. The bus eventually caught up and Camilla yelled from the top of the deck, "Get back on! Please!" and they did.
