Chapter 2

Normal POV

It was finally time for the show to start. I couldn't wait. I had waited so long to hear them live. First came out Miley. She did her set. She wasn't too bad either. I rather enjoyed myself, I thought. And then it was time for the Jonas Brothers. Everyone in the crowd started screaming. And then I heard them.

"I don't know if they're ready for us out there guys!" came Kevin's voice. "What are you talking about. There's no one out there. If there was they would be screaming," came Joe's voice. I just laughed. "Wow guys I think they might be ready," came Nick's voice. The crowd erupted at those words. I think I just went temporarily deaf, I thought to myself. Then I looked up and saw the boys coming out onstage singing "Kids of the Future." "Woah, they gots lotsa energy." I said. My mom just laughed at me. "You would probably have a lot of energy after being cooped up in a bus for days at a time too," she replied.

The concert continued. Then they came to the part of the show when they invite someone up on stage. I told Kiana to start screaming so maybe they would pick her. I mean come on she is in the first row, right in front of Joe. She looked at me weird. What was that look for, I thought. "Will the sailor in the front row who is telling people to eat monkeys please come up here?" Joe said. My mouth dropped and my eyes got wide. "HOLY CRAP THAT'S ME!!!!!" I yelled to my mom. She looked at me and then started cracking up. Why wasn't I moving? Come on feet move. Aw man why won't they work, I thought frustrated. I looked up and saw Joe standing in front of me.

Joe's POV

"All right ladies, it's that time when one lucky fan gets to come up here so we can sing to her," I said. I looked at my brothers. They nodded at me, telling me to continue as planned. I scanned the crowd making it look good. Then my eyes fell on her, Jessica. "Will the sailor in the front row who is telling people to eat monkeys please come up here?" I asked. She wasn't moving. I looked at Kevin and Nick they subtly motioned for me to go down there. So I did. When I reached her she looked up straight into my eyes. I couldn't help it. They were just so blue, I stared at her. "Ah…Joe, want to bring that young lady up?" I heard Kevin say. "What? Oh right sorry." I said while she giggled.

I nervously stuck my hand out for her to take. She did. I led her up on stage and as we were walking I decided to talk to her. "So uhm…what's your name?" I asked her. "Jessica," she replied softly. If I hadn't already known her name I might not have caught that, I thought. I sat her on the stool. She looked at me. I heard Nick and Kevin start playing Hello Beautiful. I didn't take my eyes off her the entire time. I just couldn't, and I didn't want to either.

When we had finished the song, Nick and Kevin came over and hugged her as they introduced themselves. I was the last one to hug her. "Wait backstage for us," I whispered softly in her ear. She looked at me and nodded. I watched her walk off stage. Then went on to our next song.

Normal POV

As I was looking at Joe I heard Kevin say, "Ah…Joe, want to bring that young lady up?" I continued to look at Joe uncertain of what to do. "What? Oh right sorry," Joe said as I giggled at him. He put his hand out for me to take. And I did. He took me to the stage. "So uhm…what's your name?" I heard him ask. "Jessica," I replied in barely more than a whisper. I sat on the stool and watched Joe as he sang Hello Beautiful to me. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

When the song was over Nick and Kevin came over and introduced themselves as they hugged me. Joe was the last one to hug me. As I started to pull away I heard him say, "Wait backstage for us." I looked at him confused. Why would he want me to meet him backstage. I guess there was only one way to find out, so I nodded. I walked off stage to wait.

When their next song was over Joe started walking towards me. During the last song I had calmed down a bit and was becoming myself again. So when I saw Joe walking towards me I did the first thing that came to mind. I stuck my hand under my chin and waved. (think little rascals.) He laughed and did the same. Well at least he doesn't think I'm a total loser, I thought. "Well if it isn't Porky," he said. My jaw dropped. "Well if I'm Porky then you're Buckwheat!" I replied. We both laughed. "No," he said, "I want to be Alfalfa. And since you're the girl here you should be Darla." "I'll be Darla if you sing You Are So Beautiful To Me. And you have to find someone else to be Porky and Buckwheat." I replied jokingly. He gave me an evil grin.

"Nick and Kevin can be Porky and Buckwheat," he quickly said. "I can be what?!" Kevin jumped in. Joe explained it to him and Kevin chuckled. "I'll be Porky and Nick can be Buckwheat," he stated. At that Nick walked over and the whole thing needed to be explained again. I hadn't noticed at first but when Nick came over Joe had disappeared. Where did he go? I questioned myself. I looked around and saw him talking to the guitarist.

Joe's POV

When we finished our next song it was time for Nick to perform Nick J is of Da Chain. So I hurried over to Jessica before Kevin could get there so I could have a minute alone with her. I looked at her and saw her waving under her chin. I laughed but went along with it. I knew where that was from and now I had a way to start a conversation. "Well if it isn't Porky," I said to her quickly regretting it. Now she's gonna think I'm calling her fat, just great. "Well if I'm Porky then you're Buckwheat!" she said laughing. I laughed more out of relief than anything. "No, I want to be Alfalfa. And since you're the girl here you should be Darla," I told her. Maybe she would get the hint that I kinda liked her. No. "I'll be Darla if you sing You Are So Beautiful To Me. And you have to find someone else to be Porky and Buckwheat," she told me. I gave her an evil grin. Well this was working out after all.

"Nick and Kevin can be Porky and Buckwheat," I quickly told her. Before I could continue Kevin jumped in. "I can be what?!" he exclaimed. I explained it to him hoping to get back to my conversation with Jessica. He chuckled and said, "I'll be Porky and Nick can be Buckwheat." But then Nick walked over looking really confused. Oh great, I thought, now I have to explain it again. But thankfully Kevin did it for me. Good now I have to go see a band about a song.

"Hey guys," I said as I ran over to the band, "do any of you know You Are So Beautiful To Me from The Little Rascals?" They shook their heads no. But then our guitarist walked over. "I know that song. Why? What's up?" he asked. Again I explained the joke I had going with Jessica. "Okay so when we get back out there you'll start playing it when I point to you?" I asked him. "No problem," the guitarist said. "Yo, Joe, it's time to get back out there," Nick yelled to me. I ran over and explained my plan. They laughed but quickly agreed to it.

"So guys," I said to the audience, "Do you remember the girl we sang to a couple minutes ago?" They cheered. Well I guess that's a yes. I told them about our joke and as I glanced over at Jessica I saw her jaw drop and her eyes get wide. When I had finished explaining it to the crowd and walked over and pulled Jessica on stage. She still had that same look on her face, but was beautiful none-the-less. I got down on one knee and pointed to our guitarist. He started, and I sang to her like no one else was around. When it was over she smiled at me. Wow I love that smile. I stood up hugged than twirled her around so she was facing the side of the stage. She walked off as fast as she could without running. Then we sang a couple more songs.

Normal POV

"Yo, Joe, it's time to get back out there," Nick yelled to him. When they were back on stage Joe started to talk. "So guys," he said to the audience, "Do you remember the girl we sang to a couple minutes ago?" They cheered. He explained our joke to them. My jaw dropped and my eyes got wide. I could not believe he was telling them this. Great and now I feel like a uber dork, I thought. He walked towards me and pulled me on stage. He got down on one knee and sang that song to me. No one had ever done anything like this for me before. All I could do was smile. He stood up and hugged me. Aww please don't let go, I screamed in my head. But alas he did. He then twirled me to face the side of the stage. I walked as fast as I could because my face was starting to burn up.

After a couple more songs it came time for their last song of the night. Usually they would end on an upbeat song, but tonight they ended with Please Be Mine. When they started I decided I wanted to dance. Of course, there was no one around to dance with so I danced by myself. I bowed and stuck out my hand like I was a guy. Then I quick spun around and curtsied and pretended to take a guy's hand. Then I started to dance…alone. I kept switching back and forth. I bet I look ridiculus, I thought. Aw well I'm having fun. When the song came to an end I pretended to dip a girl, then quickly pretended a guy was dipping me. Unfortunately for me it's not easy to keep your balance without someone actually dipping you and I landed with a crash on the ground. I laid there with my eyes closed. "Well at least no one saw that," I said to myself as I opened my eyes. Spoke to soon, I thought. There standing above me were Nick, Kevin, and Joe. They were cracking up. GREAT!!!!

Joe's POV

When we came to the last song we mixed it up and sang Please Be Mine. I glanced over at Jessica and noticed her bow and then jump around and curtsy and start dancing. What a dork, I thought to myself as I held back a laugh. Throughout the song I looked over to see her dancing alone. I pointed it out to Kevin and Nick. They both laughed. When the song was over we ran off stage to find Jessica on the floor. "Well at least no one saw that she said. I her eyes flickered open and got wide when she saw us standing over her laughing. I don't know how this happened but I really wanted to find out. I looked over and saw one of the stage crew with a camera focused on us. I walked over to him. "Hey Jeff," I said, "Did you happen to catch that whole thing on tape?" "You bet Joe. Want to watch it?" He responded. I grinned and he handed it over I walked back over to where Nick was helping Jessica up and Kevin was still laughing.
