Klay started with a fast drum beat as Gabby played faster a screeching sound coming out of her guitar. Rick just nodded his head till it was time to sing.

"Your kisses are like venom running through my veins. I could touch you but you might fall into a million pieces. Broken reflection and burnt skin I'd still love you more."

"Every flaw I love it!!!! Every kiss I drown in it!!! But it's all the same because it's just a game."

Dinah sung the next verse alone. "Your just, a fantasy. It's all, just make believe. Welcome to the end........ A dark cloud hanging over us again."

Rick joined in. "You're just so innocent my friend. You're just so fake and unreal. I can't believe I ever loved you!!!!! Every flaw love it. Every kiss treasured it. But its just all a fucking game!!!!!!"

Gabbys guitar slowed down to do a solo. "Its just all so fucking fake. This is just another game and I'm sorry for being naïve again!!!!"

The song went on for a while then ended another heavy one was played than came a slow one Dinah sang most of it.

"Like a raven.......... Flying in the night........ cradled in wings..... lost to the world. Baby bird....... Vulnerable again. She is with the night and she will soar one day. With broken wings and quicksand dreams she will be so............"

She took a deep breath the drumbeat getting a little louder. "Open up to me.......... Let me touch your soul........ The demons in me........ Take no control......... I need your hand to help me from falling off the earth!!!!! Hold me close and never let me go!!!!!"

"I'm just a soul..... I have no purpose....... I'm all alone...... won't you guide me from the night? The moon is set full of lies. My heart is so cold and black all I need is somewhere safe someone hold me."

Rick finally joins in. "I'll be there for you!!!! Till the day is dead!!!! I'll hold you and never let you fall from my grasp."

As they both sing Rick and Dinah face each other they sing together. "I'll never let you go......... I'll never let you go." Dinah sings "I think I'm falling please catch me....... I think I'm falling please save me........ I...... need to feel......your love."

At the very end Rick and Dinah face are so close the crowd is silent. Rick gives a grin Dinah nods than they kiss its one of those big show stopping number kisses from an away point you'd think they were making out but there was no tongue used. Rick pulled away grinning again. Now I know what you're thinking. "Is Klay going to be jealous? The answer is no because that was planned if things were going good to give the show a better look show some action. Which is what they did, back to the story."

The crowd was cheering and at the very moment of that hot steamy kiss our good friends Helena walked in. She saw Dinah kissing Rick and her heart almost fell apart.

Dinah took the mic out Rick's hands. "Hey everyone that was hott right?" Lots of shouting and hollering could be heard. The crowd kept roaring as Dinah just stood there red with embarrassment.

Gabby took the mic out her hands. "Well we have time for one more song."

They all took their places. As the song began Klay was banging heavily on the drums and Gabbys hand on that guitar were going a mile per minute Dinah was also working up a sweat on the bass.

"Why not me!!!!! Why.... Not...me?" Rick belted out.

"I want to see your true face. I need to kiss your lips and taste you. Don't expect me to lie down and die. I'm so sick of all you're assuming. Quit confusing me and just........" Dinah sang.

Both in unison they said. "If you want me than show me how you feel!!!!! If you love me than kiss me again. I know in your heart is mending again. Please just give me a fucking chance love!!!!!"

Rick went solo again. "But everything inside, so tantalizing makes me loose my head!!!!! I mean all this intoxicating smoke just makes me feel like I'm flying!!!!! I need to loose all my control!!!!!!! So just watch me burn baby!!!!!"

In unison they sang. "With you I'm alive. Without you I'm in my grave. My hands are on fire burning all the skin away all the plastic fakeness!!!!!! So if I say I love you know that I mean it!!!!!"

Klay got his drum solo it was long and while he and Gabby were jamming Dinah and Rick took the bucket from behind Klay.

"I need to feel you heart!!!!!! To......feel.....your...soul. I need to touch your face!!! And when I say I love you I mean it forever!!!!!!!!! Forever!!!!!!!"

As he was singing they dumped the contents that were in the bucket over Rick and Dinah. Covering them both in fake homemade blood. (I'm sorry I just had to do it. It just would make the crowd even louder. That's a good thing too.) The sticky redness covered both Dinah and Rick they laughed than started to jump up and down spraying the crowd with the redness. They all enjoyed it screaming for more Gabby played than came behind Dinah licking the redness off her neck. Dinah laughed than jumped into the crowd. She was afraid at first that they'd drop her but that didn't happen.

"You rock Dinah that was a killer performance." One Meta said. Dinah gave her thanks than the crowd brought her back on stage where they all took a bow.

After the show and everyone had left and it was closing time Dinah said bye to her friends and helped Helena stack the chairs on the tables. The whole time Dinah just looked at Helena expecting a reaction when she got none she was very edgy. Helena could sense the blonde's eyes on her she truthfully didn't know what to say. Dinah should be hers and only hers but she kissed Rick. "I guess you and Rick are really going out now right?" she asked casually pretending not to care.

"You think me and ...........Rick are together?" Dinah started to giggle which turned into a full on laugh till she saw the serious look on Helena's face. She stopped laughing and got herself together. "No, me and Rick aren't together the kiss you saw was pure acting." She giggled some more. "Rick is gay Helena he and the drummer, I mean Klay are together."

As the words finally sunk in Helena started to turn red she felt absolutely stupid for assuming something.

"Sorry it just seemed......the way he acted and such."

She nodded. "I can understand he's more a big brother. I mean hello he 23 he's like your age and that's well it's not ancient but it makes somewhat of a difference."

Helena nodded. "I see...... so what are you doing now? I mean where you going to celebrate your big success?"

Dinah laughed. "We played one time don't go polishing a record deal for me yet. I mean this is great and new and fun."

Helena nodded. "I'm glad you're doing something you enjoy. Plus I get to see you in a whole new light. I mean leather who would've thought and you look so cute in it too. Dare I say you look almost like an adult and rather tasty?"

Dinah blushed. "Thanks Hel." She finished stacking the chairs then started to pack her bass up. She ignored Helena's comment brushing it off assuming it was just a playful remark and nothing serious.

"So how'd did you keep this from me?" she asked. "I mean we are partners and all but I thought we were friends too."

Dinah nodded. "Just didn't see any reason to mention it. It's just something I do when I'm bored or depressed or in a creative. It helps me get my emotions out in healthy way without going all bitchy and suicidal. I mean we all got demons we have to live with I write about mine almost like therapy. But I get to be my own therapist and no drugs for me." She laughed.

Helena nodded. "Well..... Where you going now?"

Dinah shrugged. "Probably home maybe over to Rick's he's having a party or something him and Klay are engaged."

"Really, when's the wedding?"

Dinah shrugged. "Dunno but I can't wait for the bachelor party." She grinned.

Helena nodded. "Yep all those guys what will you do with yourself."

Dinah shook her head. "No not guys he hired a nice gothic female stripper for myself. I met her she's nice and she's all........ I'd like to do that." She laughed.

Helena looked a bit stumped. "Dinah...... I thought you liked guys?"

Dinah shook her head. "Nope, I a one women type of girl. I guess that's another thing you didn't know right?"

Helena shook her head. "Well even Barbara knew she actually was a bit relieved when I told her I had chosen a new path for my life. I hope your comfortable with that I mean you should be since your bisexual."

Helena's eyes went wide as Dinah giggled. "Barbara told me silly."

"That's not fair you're finding out all this stuff from Barbara and not me. Why didn't you ask me?"

"Ohhh come on do you actually think you would've told me the truth?"

"Yes."

"I don't believe you. You would've brushed it off or used sarcasm or flirted like you usually do. You see I know your tricks by now you can't fool me I'm all knowing, you know."

Helena nodded. "I bet there is plenty you don't know."

"Try me." Dinah challenged. "You really want to know it all?" Helena shot back. "Think you can handle it all?"

Dinah nodded. "Yea, I know I can."

Helena shrugged. "You asked for it touch my hand and see what I see."

Dinah stepped forward she grabbed Dinah's hand instantly being thrown into her mind. She saw a door zoom in front her marked on the door was "Skeletons in Helena's closet" she turned the knob on the door and stepped through.
