Shane Grey sighed as he heard his phone ringing. He just wanted to get some sleep, he was up late last night, and he really didn't want to have to deal with anything right now. But the person calling him was not about to give up. The ringtone blared over and over again. Getting frustrated Shane picked up his phone.
"Hello?"
"Dude, where the hell are you?! We have that big meeting with Dave today, if we don't get this I'm going to be so pissed!"
Shane rolled his eyes at his band mate.
"Dude Nate, relax, breath, I'll be there in 15 minutes."
He hung up the phone and rolled out of his bed. No matter how annoying Nate was, he was right, this was the big meeting. This would tell them if they got the next tour sponsored by Verizon. It was between them, and Natalia Adams, the biggest diva on the face of the planet, well next to Shane of course.
The tabloids loved exploiting Shane and making him look like a big jerk, and to the camera's that's exactly what it would look like.
After getting dressed and getting picked up by his limo he was headed off to Lava Records. When he finally arrived he headed to the board room where Jason, and Nate his band members, and Natalia were all waiting.
Jason was the first to speak up out of the group. "Glad you could make it dude."
Natalia rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but I don't think you'll be too happy with him when I get the tour and you don't."
Before Shane could retort, Nate piped up. "What makes you think you're so special? You really aren't that great of a singer."
Shane and Jason snickered in the background. Natalia just glared at them as the door opened. Dave, and his assistants walked into the room.
"Alright, Gentlemen, Natalia, let's get down to business. You guys are my two top selling artists. Now we need to know which one would bring in more of a profit, while on tour."
Natalia raised her hand, "Dave, if I may speak, I'm sure I would bring in quite the profit, I mean guys everywhere are dying to see me, they would pay big bucks to see a show."
"Now Natalia, a little full of ourselves are we?" Shane had enough and decided to cut in, "I mean, you would probably be lip syncing the whole time, where as we sing live, and raw. You were very little clothing, and aren't that great of a role model to children. Parents are dying for their kids to be like us. Plus, the girls dig us."
Dave watched as the two continued to argue amongst themselves. "Alright, enough, both of you. Now, I'm going to determine who deserves it more, within the next two weeks, I want to see how both of you guys do."
"I just don't think its fair Dave, I mean Shane can barely keep a girl for two days, how do we expect him to go on a huge tour like this without screwing it up somehow?"
Shane glared at Natalia. The only reason she brought that up is because the two of them dated about 6 months ago, but Natalia was one of those clingy annoying girls that he couldn't stand, but then again most of them are.
"Dave, my dating life shouldn't have anything to do with this, and you know it."
"But she makes an interesting point. You are a rock star, who demands, demands, never gives anything in return; you're the jerk of the music industry. You're constantly changing your mind, like with girls, or the sound, or the album cover. Make up your mind and leave it. If you can't even keep a girlfriend, how can we expect you to not be responsible on tour?"
Shane's mouth hung open slightly. He couldn't believe they were really taking this into account. Natalia smirked as she was plotting their downfall.
"Dave, how about, we see if Shane can keep a girl for longer than 10 days, if he has a girlfriend by the time of the announcing party, Connect 3 can go on tour, and I'll wait."
Nate looked at Dave hesitantly. "Uh Dave, I don't think that's-"
"Excellent! Great idea! Its settled, Shane, if you can keep a girl, then you three can go on tour. See you guys at the club tonight. Shane, we'll pick you a girl tonight."
Dave and his assistants walked out of the room and Natalia stood up. "See you tonight boys. And Shane, I'm so looking forward to seeing you fail."
She stalked out of the room and the three sat silent around the conference table.
"Unbelievable, we have to suffer for Shane's inability to have a love life." Jason dropped his head on the table.
Shane glared at the other two "This is not my fault; you know that Natalia has it in for me. She's trying to sabotage us. But I will win, and we will be going on tour. I will get a girl to fall in love with me and I'll keep her longer than 10 days."
"I hope you're right man, because last summer, we missed out on tour because of your attitude, so you better not ruin this for us, come on Jason, Shane, we have to go record." Nate had the guys follow him to the recording studio so that they could finish up their next album.
