The trip to the arena was silent. Chris kept thinking about what Rock
had probably tried on Jeri. He was jealous. Did they sleep in the same bed?
Did they do more? Those were the only thoughts running through his mind. At
the same time, Jeri was thinking about how great last night had really
been. Her and Rock had sat in front of the TV until around three in the
morning watching 'chick' flicks. Surprisingly, Rock liked those movies. He
even baked chocolate chip cookies.
When they finally got to the arena, they went straight to Chris' locker room. "I'm going to go find Rock." She said, before leaving abruptly. Jeri walked down the hall until she found his locker room and knocked on his door. When he opened the door, Rock smiled. So did Jeri. "Hey." She said as he led her into the room.
"Hey Jeri." He said, walking her to the couch and motioning for her to sit down on the couch. "So, what's up?"
"Nothing much. I was watching the news this morning and they said that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight. I was thinking we could go to the country and watch." She offered.
"Yeah, that'd be nice. What about Chris?" he asked.
"Eh, I don't think he'd be too sad. Him and Leslie broke up." She said. Rock had a confused look on his face. "He didn't really explain why. Just said she wasn't his type."
Rock could see the slight grin forming across Jeri's face as she said that Chris and Leslie had broken up. He sat there thinking after Jeri left, making up a plan in his head. He knew she liked Chris. Now it was just a matter of knowing if Chris felt the same way about Jeri.

Chris sat in the cafeteria drinking coffee. It was around six in the evening and the taping was over. Now there was nothing to do. He heard someone walking behind him and turned to look. It was Rock, coming to sit down with him. "What?" Chris asked after Rock had sat down across from him.
"Jeri invited me to go look at the meteor shower tonight." He said.
"And what does this have to do with me?" Chris asked, getting annoyed at Rock for talking about him and Jeri.
"And, I can't go. She really wanted to go see it, since she loves the stars. I was, um, hoping you could take her." He told Chris.
Chris looked happy at the thought. "Sure, I'd be glad to take her. Where is she?"
"I think she went back to the hotel. To your room." He said. Quickly, Chris got up and left to look for her.

Jeri was lying on the bed waiting for Chris to come back. She flipped through the channels, and found one playing music videos. It was playing a Fozzy video, so she decided to watch. Chris looked awfully good in the video. He loved to play music; always had.
Jeri didn't realize him walk in the door. "Hey, we're finally getting some air time. That's. different. Anyway, Rock told me to tell you he couldn't make it to the meteor shower tonight." He told her. He also noticed the sadness that came over her face as he said that.
"Oh." She said, sadly.
"Um, I was wondering if you'd like to go watch it with me." He said. Her face perked back up, a big smile appearing on it. She nodded. They grabbed their things and left, since it would take a long time to get there, and after the meteor shower, they would have to leave for the next city.
~~~
Chris put the blanket on the ground and let Jeri lay down first. The shower was just starting. Chris layed beside her and put his arm around her neck. She started to shiver. He put his other arm around her in a tight embrace. Jeri turned around so they would be face to face.
"Chris?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"I, um, have to tell you something." She said, getting caught up in the moment.
"What, hun?" he asked, his face getting closer to hers.
"I love you." She told him.
"I feel the exact same way." He said before kissing her.
Maybe, just maybe, when you wish upon a star, your dreams really do come true, they both thought at the same time.
