A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been busy, and I've been having trouble with the story. I know whats going to happen, I just don't know how to write it down. You know? We've all had those days. Anyways, thanks for the reviews! You're all awesome. I love your reviews! So here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. ^_^

As promised, Ayden lead the group to the back room where the band chilled out after the show. When they got to the door, they were stopped by two big Guardians. Ayden smiled up at the both of them, recognizing them.

"Hi Brutus, hi Falcon." she said. The two guardians looked her over. A confused, and curious expression on their faces. The one on the right looked at her with an unbelieving smile.

"Ayden Fairmont? It couldn't be you." he said.

"What couldn't recognize me? Of course Falcon, its me." Ayden said. The guy smiled teasingly.

"Oh yeah? Then do the handshake." he said. Ayden rolled her eyes, and held out her hand. The guy on the left took her hand, Brutus. Then they did this secret handshake that was so fast that Adrian and the others blinked repeatedly to try and get what happened.

"It is her!" Brutus shouted, and hugged Ayden, lifting her up and spinning her around. Ayden laughed at his enthusiasm.

"What is this little thing doing here?" Falcon asked. Brutus put her down so she could answer.

"My parents work here." she said, while giving Falcon a hug.

"Say, how long has it been sense you've come to see us?" Brutus asked.

"Too long is my guess." Falcon said. Everyone laughed. Then the guardians got a look at the group behind Ayden. Then they bowed.

"Your highnesses." Brutus said.

"Please, don't bow." Lissa said. They got up.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Falcon said.

"The pleasure is ours." Adrian said.

The two guardians smiled and nodded. They then got a look at Rose. They gave her proud looks. One that they rarely shared. They know what this girl has gone through, what guardian hadn't?

"Guardian Hathaway." Falcon said giving her a slight bow with his head.

"We are please to be in your presence as well." Brutus added. Rose blushed.

"I haven't really done anything special." she said modestly.

"You have been the most successful dhampir in the longest time. You are young, yet you have protected so many and killed so many. That is something special." Falcon said. Rose cleared her throat, obviously trying change the subject.

"You two are as much successful as I am." she said.

"Sorry, Falcon can get a bit mushy at times." Brutus explained. They all laughed. Then the door opened, and out stepped a tall moroi. He had black hair and dark brown eyes.

"What's all this noise?" he asked, looking at everyone. Then he saw Ayden. The once hard set face turned soft and adoring. He smiled widely and ran up to her, embracing her in his arms. Ayden wasn't the bit surprised at his actions. She was more awkwardly annoyed.

"Hi Derek." Ayden said. The guy didn't let go of her. Adrian noticed that the guy's hands were a little lower than the should be. The guy's aura was glowing with happiness. Derek was still holding onto her. Adrian cleared his throat to get the guy's attention. It got Derek to let her go, but he didn't look at Adrian, he looked at Ayden.

"I thought I wasn't going to see you again." he said. Ayden gave him a small smile, and took a tiny step back towards Adrian. Derek looked at Adrian then back to Ayden. His aura turned a bit red. Adrian restrained himself from smirking.

"Well I'm here. Nelly told us to meet you guys after the show." Ayden said. Derek nodded.

"Come on in." he said.

They followed him inside. Giving the guardian's a smile. When they came in the whole band was there. The band consisted of two girls and three guys. Nelly was their lead singer, and lead guitar. She was the first to spot them.

"Ayden!" she shouted, running over to her. She gave her another hug. Then she smiled at the rest of them. "You guys finally decided to show up." she teased. Lissa smiled at her enthusiastically. Nelly smiled at her. "Princess Dragomir? Would you like to meet the rest of the band?" Nelly asked.

Lissa smiled even bigger. She nodded. "Call me Lissa, and yes I'd be honored." she said. Nelly laughed and grabbed her hand. She lead Lissa to the middle of the room. Then she whistled. It went quiet.

"Band members!" she called. "We have some special guests. Introduce yourself." she said, and gave the "special guests" a knowing smile. A moroi girl with short blond hair with blue eyes, played a melodic tune on the keyboard.

"I'm Celia. Keyboard, and back up singer." she announced. Lissa smiled at her, but before she said anything a nice violin sound came. They looked over in the corner, where a nice bronze haired moroi guy with green eyes stood.

"I'm Luke. Violinest, and band manager." he said. Then a low base sound came from across the room. Where Derek stood.

"I'm Derek. Base player, and co-songwriter." he said. Then after him came the best drum solo ever heard. Well according to Lissa. They looked over to see another moroi guy with brown hair and hazel eyes sitting by the drums.

"And I'm Robby. Drummer, and commedian of the band." he said. He got in a few laughs.

"Okay, how about we get the names of our guests." Nelly said, motioning over to Lissa. Lissa looked at the band adoringly.

"Hi I'm Lissa." she said, and waved at the band. She pointed over to her friends. "These are my friends." She said, motioning for them to introduce themselves.

"I'm Christian." Christian said.

"I'm Rose." she said, with a wave.

"I'm Adrian." Adrian said. But before Ayden said anything, she was pulled into the arms of Celia.

"Oh my god! I couldn't believe it was you." she said. Ayden laughed, and rubbed her back.

"Hey, Celia." she said. Celia pulled back to let the others hug her, and meet everyone else. As she shook Adrian's hand, Luke came up to Ayden and gave her a light hug.

"Hey there Sparks." he said. Ayden lightly tapped him in the arm.

"Hey there butter fingers." she said. He laughed at his old nickname. He moved on to meet the others.

"Ayden." Robby said her name like it was so fragile it would break. Ayden's heart flew up to her throat. She ran into Robby's arms. They held each other tightly.

Adrian watched them, and felt a slight jealous. But he trusted Ayden. She wouldn't do anything, but he wasn't sure about Robby. The way he held her so close sent anger through him. But Adrian kept his cool.

The two finally pulled back from each other. Adrian then saw tears ring Robby's eyes. Why was he crying? The Adrian could hear sniffing, and it wasn't coming from Robby. Robby smiled at Ayden and rubbed her arms. Then Ayden looked up and turned around to look at Adrian. Adrian's heart dropped through the floor as he saw tears stream down her face. Ayden smiled at him and turned back to Robby. She grabbed Robby's hand and lead him over to Adrian.

"Adrian. This is Robby, Damien's best friend." she said, another round of tears threatening to come.

Suddenly Adrian felt bad. He didn't know. He just assumed that the guy was into her. He felt really bad for just judging him right off, without getting to know him. Adrian could have beat himself up over it. Instead he shook Robby's hand and gave him a sympathetic smile.

"I'm sorry. Losing a friend his hard." Adrian said. Robby smiled at him.

"Thank you. It really means a lot." he said. "and thanks for taking care of Ayden. I know she can be a handful." Robby said, patting Ayden on the shoulder. They laughed at the joke.

"Ya. She is. But she's a lot of fun to be around." Adrian said. Ayden smiled at him.

"What? No way!" they heard Christian shout, then Nelly and Celia laugh. "Ayden?" he called. Ayden looked over to where Christian, Lissa, and Rose, where talking to the rest of the band. "You used to be in the band?" Christian asked unbelieving. Ayden nodded.

"Ya. When we were in school toghether, and about a month after that." she said.

"Three months, my dear." Celia corrected.

"What did you play?" Rose asked.

"She was a goddess on the guitar." Nelly said. Everyone looked at Ayden shocked.

"I'm not that good." Ayden defended.

"Well you're the one who taught Nelly, and you know how good she is." Luke put in.

"You taught Nelly how to play the guitar?" Lissa asked.

"You bet she did. She was our lead guitar back when she was part of the band. Back then I was just the lead singer." Nelly said.

"Play us something." Adrian said, smiling down at Ayden. She smiled nervously.

"I don't think," she began, but everyone started to complain. "Okay." she said. Nelly handed over her guitar to Ayden. Ayden strapped it on, and shifted it to fit her.

"That guitar looks very sexy on you Ayden." Adrian said. The others laughed as Ayden blushed at his complement. She took a deep breath and strummed the guitar. She looked at Nelly.

"Why don't we play like old times." she suggested. Nelly smiled and nodded. Everyone got into position. Nelly in the front of the group with one of the practice mics, the rest of the band by their instruments.

"What song?" Robby asked.

"Think Like A Man." Nelly said. Ayden smiled at the selection. Nelly nodded at Derek and Ayden, sense they were the ones to start.

Ayden looked at Derek to know when to start. His wrist flicked, and they started to play.

{Think Like A Man: by Orianthi}

Must be you if the phone don't ring
Here I am obsessing
He loves me, yeah, he loves me not
I tell myself I should just learn to shut up
No I need to be like you

Ignore my emotions emotions are dumb
Surfing the channels till my senses are numb
Shorten my attention span,
I should think like a man
Stick my foot in my mouth and just run away
Turn off my cell, I ain't got nothing to say
Disappear and not give a damn
I should think like a man
I should think like a man

Oblivious it must be nice
Nothing spoils your appetite
You're checking out every blond in sight
You're telling me that it's just all in my mind
Yeah I want to be like you

I could save myself so much trouble
I could save myself this heartache
But it's the best advice I know I'll never ever take

Yea I got to, I need to, I want to be like you

They cheered their butts off. Giving them complements. They were so stunned that Ayden could play like that. It was so amazing. It was just so, not expected. The way Adrian smiled at Ayden gave her a warm tingling feeling. She liked it.

She put down the guitar, and then was attacked with a lovely embace, by Adrian. He kissed her forehead. He was so amazed by her, she just kept coming up with ways to surprise him.

"Now I said you holding that guitar was sexy." Adrian said. "But you playing that thing, making it look easy, now that's hot and sexy." he said. Ayden laughed.

It was like nobody was there. Just the two of them. Just like if it were just the two of them, they kissed. Ayden threw her arms around Adrian's neck, while his hands were at her waist and pulled her closer.

"Woohoo! Go Ayden!" Nelly shouted. Everyone laughed. Well not everyone. Derek had left the room.

Adrian was dropping off Ayden at her place. He wondered if her parents were still there. Their hands entwined, and Ayden hung to Adrian's arm. They joked and laughed as they walked to her place. When they got to her door, they stopped and just stared in each others eyes.

"I had a really great time tonight Adrian." Ayden said. He smiled adoringly at her.

"I did too. We should do this again." he said. She smiled and nodded.

"I'm up for it." she said. He chuckled, and pulled her closer.

"Now, do I get a good night kiss?" he asked, with a sexy smirk. She giggled, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What if I say no?" she asked. He gave her a sad frown.

"You don't want to kiss me?" he asked, playing along.

"Ummmm." she stalled.

"Come on this handsome face? You can't pass this up." he said. She laughed.

"Ya. Your right. Your just too cute." she said. She pulled him closer to her. He smiled at her and leaned down to kiss her.

Just as their lips were inches apart, Ayden turned her head and kissed his cheek. She pulled back and smiled at Adrian. He looked at her confused. She smirked at him.

"Good night Adrian." she said. Adrian smiled unbelieving at her.

"You tease!" he said. She laughed, and opened the door.

"Sweet dreams. Darling." she said. He smirked right back at her.

"I will. You'll be in them." he said. She giggled, and closed the door. Adrian stared at the door a moment longer and headed back to his place. He started to whistle, and realized he hadn't had a drink in a while. Whoa. Ayden was changing him. He smiled.
