Ember was awakened by nothing in particular. Johnny was still fast asleep by her side. She looked to her other side, finding that both Lex and Maverick were back.
'Shit,' she thought, 'Now they probably figured out I slept with him. Damn.'
Not that she really cared. They'd be leaving this motel in a week to open for Poison. Then maybe her and Johnny could finally hook up. She loved him, and she just knew that he loved her. It was obvious.
She got up, slowly so as not to awaken the other sleepers and have them catch a glimpse of her naked. 'God that would suck.'
Getting her clothes on. She climbed back into bed to fall into her previous state of lethargy. This lasted merely a moment.
"Em? Em? C'mon love, wake up! He can't have rocked you that hard."
"Shut up Lex."
Ember woke up to find all the guys looking at her. "What do you want?" she asked groggily.
Maverick stepped forward. "You need concert clothes. A whole new look. Well, not a whole new look, but something a little different."
She looked at everyone of them. "Your all going to take me? Shopping?"
Lex shook his head. "Ms. Bennette said you needed a more chic look. So, we, figuring only one of us need take you, solved it the political way: Rock, Paper, Scissors."
Ember looked at them all again. "Who lost?"
Johnny and Lex both hurriedly pointed to Maverick, who had just crossed his hands, pointing to the other men on each side. "Damn."
She laughed at him, and soon they were out the door.
They went from store to store, and, quite reluctantly, Maverick took her everyplace she had wanted to go.
After picking up all the necessary clothes, Ember saw a hair salon. "STOP HERE!"
As the pair entered the hotel room, Lex had his head in a magazine, while Johnny had stuck his in the TV.
In a teasing manner to what had just occured, Maverick cleared his throught. "May I have your attention please. Presenting, the new and improved, Ember McLean!"
The two males look up as Ember enters the room. Her hair has been died completely blue. She even had it slightly curled in some areas, making it look like blue flames. She had also put it up in a high pony tail, making her look like some sinister angel: at least an angel in Lex's eyes.
"Love, you look positively beautiful."
She smiled slightly, but Ember was really looking for approval from Johnny. She didn't quite get the reaction she wanted. "Nice, butI think you'd look better in green."
