The same routine followed. Halfway through 'Totally wasted' Dannii saw a few familiar faces in the audience. It was Pearl Jam, they wanted to see what Bruise Violet was all about. When Dannii saw the band amongst the audience she felt more energy in the song. She gave it 100%. Once the song was finished and the audience was applauding her and the other violets Eddie smiled straight at her, she smiled back. She then took a short break to give Pearl Jam a shoutout. "Thank you everyone. I'm not sure if you're aware but in the audience are some very special people.

We saw them perform live this afternoon and they were incredible, so can you guys put your hands together for the amazing Pearl Jam?!" The audience applauded and Pearl Jam turned and gave them a wave. Eddie turned back and and mouthed the words "Thank you." Towards Dannii.

The band continued to play until the end of the set. Pearl Jam stayed for the entirety of the show, the violets had now finished their show in Seattle. They went backstage to their dressing room to get their make-up off and unwind. Shortly afterwards they all went to the chill room, minutes later there was a knock at the door. "Hello" a voice called from behind, the door opened, it was Jim. "You've done it again, well done for tonight."

The girls appreciated his kind words as always, "Listen, there's someone who'd like to meet you outside...come in guys." In walked Pearl Jam, Dannii's face lit up. The violets all stood up, "I'll let you guys get on, great show girls." Jim said as he left the room.

"You guys were amazing, uh, I never expected anything like that." Eddie said sounding very shy with a slight stutter. "Thank you so much, we can say the exact same to you." Lizzy said to the band. Pearl Jam & Bruise violet had a coffee together and were talking amongst each other, talking about the music industry and telling each other how long they've been together as a band.

After a long discussion it was time for the violets to head back to their hotel. Dannii still hadn't had a chance to tell Eddie what she wanted so now was her chance, seeing that this was their last show...for a while at least. The two bands headed out the backdoor still talking amongst each other. Dannii couldn't hold it back anymore, she had to tell Eddie. "Girls, wait for me in the car I'll be with you in a second."

"Eddie could I talk to you for a second please?" "Uh, sure...guys you can carry on without me. I'll see you tomorrow." Everyone wished each other goodnight. The violets went to their pickup car and waited for Dannii. Whilst Stone, Jeff, Dave and Mike made their way home. "Hey, what's up?" he said with his hands in his denim pockets. "I wanna see if I can say this without stuttering and making a total ass of myself" she said making little eye contact with Eddie. "Don't worry about it" Eddie replied. "I uh...I think you're amazing" Dannii said. Eddie smiled, he had high cheekbones and thin lips. "Thanks, you too." He said. "What I really wanted to say was...uh...I was hoping we could go for a drink tomorrow before I head back home and maybe we could...you know get to know each other a little better." Eddie was flattered but unfortuanly couldn't take the offer. "I know what you mean, but I'm sorry. I'm...uh seeing someone." Dannii's heart dropped, the feeling of falling in love with someone but never being able to have them hit her. "Oh...I understand." She said. "What's her name?" "Beth." Eddie replied. "Oh, so that's the girl who you're seeing tomorrow?" "Yeah." Eddie said looking down. "I mean can we still be friends?" Dannii asked. "Yeah, sure we can. Here..." Eddie said as he pulled a slip of paper from the inside of his denim. He pulled out a pen and wrote down his phone number. He then gave it to Dannii. Then randomly he said "Do you mind if we take a photo?" "Sure." Dannii said grinning. He took his backpack off his shoulder, unzipped it and pulled out his Polaroid camera which he took to every concert that Pearl Jam performed. He would always make sure to take photos of the audience. Eddie aimed the camera at himself and Dannii as they stood next to each other. "Smile." He said. The flash went off, the photo was developed and then came out. Eddie put it in his top pocket. "Let me just take one more." He said, "Ready?" Eddie said, "Yeah." Dannii replied. "Okay, one more...smile." Again, the flash went off, the photo was developed but this time Eddie didn't put the photo in his pocket, he gave it to Dannii. "Aww, thanks Eddie." She said as she looked upon the photo.
