In no time they were at the bar where the music festival was taking place. It was brightly lit and there was loud applause coming from inside. The four of them made their way inside, the whole time Meryl looking around for her friend.

"Meryl Meryl! Over here!" came a shout from someone near the stage.

"Kate!" shouted Meryl as she hurried around tables and drunk people to her old friend.

Kate was sitting at an empty table up near the stage. She was slightly taller than Meryl with brownish blonde hair to her shoulder blades and blue-grey eyes. She was sipping on a glass of water. She immeadiately stood up when the pary of four walked up.

"Hi Kate! What has it been? Two years?" said Meryl. The two women embraced each other.

"Yeah about that long,but if you ask me, thats too long," said Kate as she sat down at the circular table.

Everyone took seats around the table. Meryl sat on Kate's left, Vash on Meryl's left, Knives to Vash's left and Millie to Kate's right.

"Now introduce me to your friends Meryl," said Kate as she looked at Millie and the two men.

"Sure, this is Millie, thats Vash and Vash's psycotic brother Knives," she said, indicating to each as she introduced them.

Knives scoweld at Meryl.

"And everyone, this is Kate Sunside, my friend from back home," finished Meryl.

"Vash the Stampede?" said Kate.

Vash blushed.

"Um, yeah, thats me," said Vash embarrassed.

"Meryl! I had no idea that you were walking around Gunsmoke with an outlaw-"

She stopped talking as a waitress walked up to the table since Vash was still wanted. She didnt realise that everyone in the town knew Vash was Vash

"May i take your order?" the waitress asked.

"Does 5 beers sound good?" Kate asked the group.

"No, only 4 and one iced tea," said Meryl looking at Vash, "someone has to be the dedicated driver."

The waitress left and they kept on talking.

"So Kate, what do you do for a living?" asked Vash.

"Im a violinist," she said blushing, "my parents didnt really approve, they said that i wouldnt make much money as a musician. They were right. Thats why i'm going to play at the festival tomrrow, to make a few bucks. I actually only have enough money for today and tomorrow untill i get paid for performing."

She grinned sheepishly.

"We will definately be here to cheer you on tomrrow Miss Kate," said Millie with a bright smile on her face.

Knives scoweled.

"I'd be honored to have you guys came and listen to me tomrrow," said the violinist.

The waitress walked up to the table of five with their beers and one iced tea. They each took a mug (or glass) and started drinking.

"I have an idea," said Meryl, "Why don't you stay with us tonight?"

"What a good idea sempai!" exclaimed Millie.

"I'd love to stay with you guys tonight. I'll save a few bucks." she said smiling.

This made Knives scowel even more.

**********

Within an hour, Vash and Millie were drunk. Vash had his ugly green and orange tie around his head and was dancing around. And Millie was talking nonsence.

"Do they always do that when they are drunk?" asked Kate, looking at the two of them.

"Im sorry to say yes," she said shaking her head.

"My stupid brother cant even control himself," said Knives.

"Wow, he speaks," Kate said scarcastically.

"Shutup stupid human," said Knives dangerously.

Meryl gave Kate a look that said, "Don't mess with him, he's alot of trouble."

Kate glared at him then turned and talked to Meryl.

"I'm really glad that you are letting me stay with you guys tonight. Im getting really low on cash. Its really hard to find gigs," she said sighing.

"You can stay with us for as long as you want," said Meryl.

"Realy?" said Kate happily.

"Yeah, you're my friend, we'd love to have you anyways," said Meryl.

Millie and Vash came over and fell on the table.

"I think its time to go home," said Meryl.

They paid for their drinks and headed to the car.
