*April 1980*
The Gibb Brothers, Linda, and (Y/N) go to Barry's Benefit Dinner and Show for the Diabetes Foundation
Andy's POV:
Tonight is the benefit concert for my brother Barry. Several other guests were going to be there including Olivia.
Me and (Y/N) had taken the later time slots for our performance. All the guest stars at the end of the night would get together to sing "Put A Little Love in Your Heart."
(Y/N) was a little nervous as always and I tried comforting her.
"Darling you are going to do amazing," I told her.
"Well this is the first time I have to harmonize with playback though love," she said powdering her face.
(Y/N) decided to wear a red maxi dress with white heels.
I wore a red button down silk shirt with black jeans so we sort of matched.
"You'll do fine darling. The Poni Tales song is a perfect place to harmonize and practice," I told her rubbing her shoulders to relieve her tension and anxiety.
"I'll be fine its just show jitters," she said with a giggle.
"You look perfect darling lets go ok?" I told her with a smile.
Barry & Linda, along with Maurice and Robin were waiting in a car outside already.
"Hello lovebirds," Barry said with a smirk.
"Ello," is all I said to him.
(Y/N) just kept quiet as a she had a blush came over her face.
The ride was mainly quiet. We kind of stayed to the people we sat with.
We arrived fast to the banquet room where the benefit dinner and show would be held.
The tables were elegantly set up and the stage was cute and small.
"I want to run through a few songs with you guys," Barry told me and (Y/N).
"That's fine Barry," I told him smiling.
"Ok Andy, go ahead and run through I Just Want To Be Your Everything. (Y/N), I want you to run through "Man Smart, Woman Smarter," Barry instructed us each.
We both ran through the songs with no problems and Barry wanted to run through (Y/N)'s song of Born Too Late because of the pre-recorded harmonies.
" Born too late for you to notice me. To you, I'm just a kid that you won't date," (Y/N) sang beautifully.
"Is that what (Y/N) used to sing about you?" Robin teased on the side of the stage.
"Yeah Andy, is this the song she used to sit and stare out the window and sing?" Maurice joined in.
"Haha very funny guys," I just rolled my eyes.
Rehearsal of the show was done and now we'd freshen up and take our seats at the tables while we waited to perform.
Olivia was later then she wanted to be. Her plane had a late layover.
"Wow we got a perfect spot love," (Y/N) told me as we sat down at the table.
"Yes darling you won't trip in your dress walking up for your performance," I smirked at her.
"If I wasn't clumsy, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you," she crinkled her nose at me.
"That's true darling you got me there," I told her as I squeezed her hand.
The director of the banquet and Barry started letting in everyone else.
"I'm so excited darling for you to get to perform with me and my brothers," (Y/N) told me.
"This is the first time we will all be on stage together. That's pretty awesome darling," I told her with a smile.
The lights dimmed, queuing the crowd to clap as Barry came on stage to talk about the show.
"Ladies and gentleman, thank you for coming out to the benefit dinner and show. The Diabetes Foundation means a lot to me and your guys support means the world. In tonights line up, we have no other then Olivia Newton-John, my brothers Maurice, Andy and Robin Gibb, Andy's fiance (Y/N) (L/N), and many names to be said before the night is over. Please enjoy your dinner and enjoy the first show of well us, the Bee Gees," Barry said with a light laugh.
We all clapped and couldn't wait till we all got our turn on the stage.
