V & V - Rageous Rageon Rise

We're Giving You More

Veneer POV:

We get off stage, and I'm just over the moon happy. I kiss Kid Ritz excitedly and laugh as he hugs me tightly.

Ven: "You were amazing! Just simply amazing, Ritz!"

Kid Ritz: "Thank you! So were you! You were just on fire tonight with your new songs!"

He holds my hands excitedly as the Head Manager pushes his way over to us.

Head Manager: "Wonderful, boys! Just wonderful! I can't tell you how much the fans loved the show tonight! It was your best one yet!"

We're endlessly congratulated, and I thank my backup dancers for doing so well with tonight's show's changes. We finally get to the dressing room, and as soon as I'm out of my costume, Kid Ritz and I cheer excitedly.

Kid Ritz: "We've finished four shows! This tour is already half over, and it's just gotten better and better!"

Ven: "I know! Who knew we'd have such a great show tonight? No, I know! Floyd knew! Because he helped us!"

I turn to Floyd and give him a finger high-five. Kid Ritz does the same as I pack up my things to go.

Kid Ritz: "This is great, V! I think we should celebrate!"

Ven: "Oo! What do you wanna do?"

Kid Ritz: "I vote we go to the skatepark! I have so much energy; I just want to move!"

Ven: "Works for me! I'm not even tired!"

We pack everything for Jewels, and once Floyd is hidden in my purse, Kid Ritz and I dash for it to the car. We laugh and cheer the whole way, much to the delight of our fans. We get into the car, get home, and after Jewels and Floyd are put away safely, we're back on the road.

Kid Ritz drives us quickly, but I don't care. I cheer as we go upside down, the rush in my head adding to my joy. We have a great time as we get to the skatepark. Kid Ritz gets out with a smile and comes around my side.

He opens my door for me, and I watch as he runs off after he gets his board and does a very sick trick. I cheer and film him as he does trick after trick, my heart happy to see him enjoying himself so much.

I eventually start to get antsy, and as the troll high wears off, my headache comes on. Ah, shit. I forgot about this part. It doesn't look like Kid Ritz will be done anytime soon, so I might as well sit down. I sit in the car with the door open and watch Ritz skate around.

I eventually go on my phone and watch the videos of us performing from earlier tonight. I must say, we look so good! I love the new choreo as well! Wow... I should be a little thankful to have such a talented choreographer.

Eventually, Kid Ritz skates back over to me. 

Kid Ritz: "How are you doing?"

Ven: "I'm in the crash zone right now."

Kid Ritz: "I think I may be as well. My head's starting to hurt."

Ven: "Yeah, that's what happens once you get off the high."

He frowns as he picks up his board.

Kid Ritz: "Well, are you ready to go home?"

I nod, and he packs up his board before driving us home. By the time we reach the apartment, we both have bad headaches. We get upstairs, shower, and I go to bed without waiting for Ritz.

I need to lie down; my head's hurting so much. Unfortunately, I lie around in bed and am still awake once Kid Ritz gets in. He climbs in next to me, and I can tell from how much he's shaking that he's not going to have an easy time falling asleep.
