Yay, another chapter! I wanted to wait until I have a few views before I posted Chapter 2. Thanks to georgeweasleyluver4eva for following AND favoriting (is that a word?) this story, it means a bunch. Also, PLEASE review. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Hugs and Butterfly Kisses,

P.S. On a totally unrelated note, has anyone see Twisted yet? I won't be. :( Who else wants Walker for Jafar?

Disclaimer: I do not own Starkid. I have never even met any of the Starkids. These are not how they act in real life, but fictionalized versions of the Starkids.

I sit upright. I must have fallen asleep. What time was it? I glanced at my watch, it read 7:00. I had missed the dinner. My stomach was growling, so I decide to just go out. I walk out of the hotel and look around. I spot a Taco Bell down the street, so I head towards it. Tacos sounded good. Strolling in I gasped softly. There were about 15 Starkids sitting in the corner eating tacos. Why did I keep seeing them? I pulled my hood onto my head, after spotting Walker, laughing with Dylan Saunders. I didn't want them to see me. I just wanted to watch them. After I got my food, I sat down on the other side of the restaurant. Glancing up at them, I take a bite of my taco. Dylan, Lauren, Nick, Matt, Denise, and at least ten others that; a few I didn't recognize.

I watched them for about ten minutes, then get up to get refill my Coke. I don't see Walker come up behind me.

"Hi Paige," he says sneakily making me jump.

"Shh," I say looking at him, "I don't want them to notice me. I'm just watching you guys."

"Don't you want to meet us all in person?" Joe asks.

"Of course I do. But you have my number, so I figured you'd call me and say, come meet the Starkids." I say sacasticlly.

"Why would you think that," he says filling up his drink with ice and sprite.

"You strike me at that kind of guy," I tell him seriously.

"Thanks. Now watch this."

He winks at me and sneaks back over to the table, right up behind Lauren. I roll my eyes, then realize what he's about to do. He yanks off the lid and dumps the soda on top of Lauren, who jumps up in fury. She turns around and tries to sock Walker in the face, but misses. I burst out laughing, but none of the Starkids notice me. I watch as Lauren attempts to tackle Walker, but she's too tiny. Things calm down a bit, so I walk back toward my table. Laurens soaked, but seems to shrug it off, picking up a taco. I dig into my second taco, when I realize the Starkids are being unusually quiet. I hear them whispering. Biting into my taco, I hear quite footsteps behind me. I spin around, only to receive a face full of sprite. Joe doubles over laughing. The other Starkids are laughing too. Except for Lauren, who's scowling. I'm soaked to the skin with Sprite. My face turns bright red. I glare at Walker, and then stride out the door. He runs after me.

"Paige, wait!" He shouts catching up to me. He grabs my hand and pulls me to a stop. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Walker, you just embarrassed me in front of a group of people that I've been dying to meet ever since I first saw them. And you decide to make me into a joke. I was already embarrassed enough when I met you!"

Joe opens his mouth, but I cut him off. "Don't say, I was trying to be funny. It wasn't. Lauren wasn't laughing." I pause, wiping away a few tears. "You can call me tomorrow if you want."

I walk into the hotel, but Walker doesn't follow. I didn't want to be mad at him, but it had hurt. I climb into bed, fully clothed and fall asleep. My phone wakes me up at 7 o'clock, beeping loudly. I hop out of bed, and go into the bathroom. I'm a mess. I peel of my clothes, and jump into the shower. While the warm water runs down my neck, I think about Walker. I wanted to call him, and tell him I was sorry for overreacting (I knew I had.) But I didn't have his number. He had mine. So I'd have to wait for him to call. If he does. I get out of the shower and pull on khaki shorts and a t-shirt. Pulling a brush through my hair I slipped into a pair of flipflops. I was going out.

I boarded a bus and pulled out my cellphone. I had a voicemail from Joe. He must have called me while I was in the shower. I brought the phone up to my ear and pressed play.

"Hi Paige, its Walker. Can you come over to Starkid Manor? It's empty. I want to talk."

I put my phone away and got off at the next stop. Dismissing my plans I walked toward Starkid Manor. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. I heard Joe coming down the stairs. The door opened and I stared into his deep blue eyes.

"Come on in." He says politely.

We both sit on the couch, and an awkward silence falls over the two of us. After a minute we both turn and face each other and stutter a sorry.

"What are you sorry for?" Joe asks confused, "You never did anything."

"Joe," I start," I didn't want them to see me because I wasn't ready to meet them all at once yet. Then when it happened I took it wrong. I know you were trying to be funny, and I overreacted." I push brown hair out of my face and give him an apologetic smile.

"It's my fault too," Joe tells me, returning my smile, "I shouldn't have done it. It was mean."

"It wasn't mean, just embarrassing."

Joe pulled me into a warm hug. I returned it, and then we fell into silence.

"What were you're plans for today?" Joe asks me after a few minutes.

"I was going to go out, but I'm going tomorrow instead."

"Cool. Are you hungry?" I nod. "Wanna get some lunch? I don't have to be at practice for another hour."

We decided to go to this little burger place about a block from Starkid Manor. It was delicious. Joe and I took turns throwing fries into each other's mouths.

"I can't believe I'm having lunch with Joe Walker," I tell him, grinning.

Joe laughs. "It's an honor."
