A/N: Hark! The beat goes on! I decided this story needed an update, so I

Oh, and one more thing, my story "Can this Be Real" has not been updated in a while and I am having difficulty in deciding where I want it to go. If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail them to me because I really am at a loss as to where I want to go with that story.

Chapter 16
Jeremy and Olivia arrived at the concert early, yet it was really crowded. They were in the lower section. This was Olivia's first concert. Jeremy had been to a few concerts, but nothing like the Lunar Juggies. He really wasn't into the new techno pop sound. He felt like it should have died ten years ago. Despite this, he tried to be happy. If not for Olivia, then definitely himself. Once they found their seat, which was about eight rows from the stage, they decided to take the extra time to go to the bathroom and walk around the arena.
Jeremy noticed that there were a lot of hot girls walking around with Lang Cooper and Lunar Juggies t-shirts once they walked around. Also, there was no one in the men's bathroom compared to the massive line of girls waiting their turn to go to the bathroom. Jeremy waiting a good ten minutes before he saw Olivia walk out of the room. "Should we go back now?" Olivai asked.
Jeremy smiled. "No, we have a good fifteen minutes until it is supposed to start, and even then, it is going to start late. Why don't we look around. You want a t-shirt?"
Olivia looked at Jeremy shocked. "Seriously? Did mom give you extra money?"
"No, actually I did bring some of my own. I figured this would be a chance to get you a Christmas present."
"Okay. Let me look," Olivia said and she ran to the place they were selling the shirts and stuff. Jeremy followed, with his hands in his pockets. He felt so stupid being here at a concert with all the girls running around.
After about five minutes of looking and waiting, Olivia picked out a shirt that had a picture of the band on the front, with a close up of Lang Cooper in the corner. On the back of the shirt, were a list of places they were touring this time and the dates. Olivia took her shirt and put it on over the shirt she was wearing.
"Should I be worried about this?" Jeremy asked.
"No, you better get used to it. Lang Cooper is so hot!"
"How old is this guy?"
"He is only eighteen. Six years age difference. We can work around that, though," Olivia said with a grin.
"Really? Okay, weirdo. Let's go sit down," Jeremy said.
Olivia nodded and they walked back to their seats. Eighth row? Man! That was going to be so loud! He feared he was going to be almost deaf by the end of the night.
Three young girls that looked about nine or ten years old ended up sitting next to Jeremy on the other side, and then there was a mother. Olivia was lucky enough to get a seat next to the aisle. The girls kept on looking at Jeremy like he was crazy, and then back at each other whispering. They did this until the mother looked and realized what they were doing and told them that is was rude.
Jeremy looked at his watch. It was 8:17 and there was no start yet. Jeremy didn't know how much longer he could stand the sound of screaming girls waiting impatiently for the show to start. At about 8:23, an announcement came on to announce the first opening act. It was some guy named Patrick with a key board. Jeremy had never heard of this guy, but the fans were acting pretty crazy over this one dude. Jeremy was dreading the reaction of when The Lunar Juggies would come out.
After a few songs with Patrick, a girl group came on. They looked pretty young, and they called themselves "Speak Up!" and were, to Jeremy, Bubble Gum pop. They played a few songs and danced. Thee crowd responded and reacted positively to the group. At about nine, the stage was once again empty. There was a screen up above the stage that was playing advertisements from the sponsors. Every once in a while, the Lunar Juggies would appear and do an ad for Cool Whip or something, and when this happened, the crowd would get really loud. A lot of minutes passed and there was still no band showing up. At around 9:15, Jeremy's cell phone rang. Jeremy picked it up to find that it was his friend from Kincaid, Nick.
"Hey, bro!" Nick said as soon as Jeremy picked up.
"Yo! Que pasa!" Jeremy said, somewhat happy to talk to him.
"Nada, bro! How is the life at home?" Nick asked.
"Life at home is good," Jeremy responded, looking at Olivia who was watching the screen and marveling at the scene around her.
"Where the freak are you, dude? You sound like you are having a party."
"Oh, I am at a concert."
"What concerto, bro?"
"I was afraid you would ask that. Ever heard of the Lunar Juggies?"
"What? You are at that type of concert? Ew, that has got to stink!"
"Yeah, well, no its great fun. Olivia and I are here together and having a good time. Anyway, how are you? Did you go skiing?"
"No, we did go to the beach. In fact, that is where we are now."
Just then, a Lang Cooper commercial appeared, and everyone screamed.
"Wow, that must be some concert! How come I hear no music?"
"Oh, they haven't started yet."
"Oh, well, I wont keep you from enjoying the wait. Have a good time. I will talk to you later. Tell Olivia I said hi," Nick added.
"Nick, there comes a time in life where a joke dies, and that joke died last year easily. Nowadays, that is just freaky. Besides, she has moved on to older men, you know. Lang Cooper."
"Hey!," Olivia interrupted, "I am sitting right here, you know."
"Sorry, anyway, see you and have fun at the beach."
"Have fun yourself! Bye!"
"Bye!" Jeremy said and he hung up the phone. "Sorry, Olivia, it was Nick, and you know, Nick is a little strange."
"A little? More like a lot," Olivia said, and just then the announcer came back, and said that the Lunar Juggies were about to go on, and that they needed some cheers. That I when Jeremy could officially claim he started loosing his hearing. The screams in the room could very well permanently damage his hearing.
People started chanting, and eventually after a lot of flashing lights and loud noises, the band came jumping out onto stage with some wacky costumes. Olivia was pretty loud, but nothing compared to the loudness with the girls next to him. Olivia tapped him on the shoulder and pointed out the guy that he supposed was Lang Cooper.
Lang Cooper appeared on the screen above the stage as they sang the first song. Lang had longish curly blondish hair, and reminded Jeremy of one of his friends from school. Soon, everyone was standing and singing along to the songs. Jeremy found this somewhat amusing, especially when Olivia made Jeremy stand up as well. "Loosen up!" Olivia screamed, and Jeremy uncrossed his arms as he watched the band perform and lived the experience that would make him half deaf.
Songs passed, and all the songs sounded similar in Jeremy's opinion, but he didn't say anything. He was tired of standing, so he sat down. Olivia just simply looked at him and shook her head. "You are no fun!"
More songs passed, none of which Jeremy recognized, until about an hour into the show, when they played the Freddie song. After much nagging from Olivia, Jeremy agreed to stand for this song, not knowing what he was getting himself into. Soon, everyone was waving his or her arms in a sort of flow thing, and Olivia convinced Jeremy to go along with the flow, which he did. Once the song was over, however, he sat back down for the rest of the night. It seemed like forever until the concert was over, and Jeremy and Olivia left the concert.
On the drive home, the car was pretty silent, until Olivia said, "You know, I am very proud of you tonight, Jeremy."
"Oh yeah? Why?"
"Well, because not many people would do that for their sisters. You were a good sport. Thank you for doing this, and especially thank you for the shirt," Olivia said.
"You're welcome. The concert wasn't that bad, and I definitely still have ringing in my ears. I did have a great time, but mostly because it was with you," Jeremy said and he smiled
Olivia smiled back as they pulled into the empty driveway. Both of them were pretty tired, because it was almost midnight, so both of them ended up going to their rooms and falling asleep.
The night was over. Jeremy had survived a girly concert.
