"Amazing show guys!" Shiro said clapping as we walked off the stage

"Amazing show guys!" Shiro said clapping as we walked off the stage. The whole staff was clapping and as we walked by we all exchanged small hugs and hand slaps. I was sweaty and my bun had become a ponytail without my knowledge. My shirt was soaking wet and I did not know if it was from the sweat or the water I sprayed on the fans. We walked down the hall towards our room still exchanging high fives to our team.

Bill screamed in excitement as we entered the room. "ANOTHER SUCCESFUL SHOW!"

We all high fived one another and started to undress from our performance attire. I slouched in the sofa that was in the middle of the room and lit a cigarette. Georg came over and did the same. "Ah, good, good, good!" Georg said to himself aloud. We talked about the performance and laughed as Bill mentioned he almost took a tumble in his high shoes. "I need a warm bath," Gustav said smelling his armpits and cringing from the smell.

A few moments later Uli came in with Pumba, Bill's pet bulldog, and a huge tray of fresh fruit, champagne and plates. "Mmmm, I'm so hungry" Bill said taking a set of grapes off the tray to eat as Joy and Mike helped him remove his extravagant outfit. I took a small plate of grapes and began popping them in my mouth between cigarette puffs

"No Pumba!" Bill said as Pumba nudged the pant leg of Chris our Tokio Hotel TV camera operator. "Bad boy! No!" We all laughed at the puppy who received "No" as an indication to continue on nudging Chris. I finished my cigarette, scooped Pumba up in my arms, and sank back down in the sofa.

Uli sat down in a chair near the door and began to read off her clipboard. "Okay guys, your schedule is as follows: In 20 minutes we will be leaving for the hotel to get changed and ready for tonight's party. The party starts at 11:30 p.m. that is in about an hour or so. Mettin, Bruno and I will handle what is left to be done here. Shiro and Max will be assisting you through the transition and explain more details about the party if needed. Any questions?"

We all shook our heads saying no while we continued to wind down from the show. "Good, I'll see you guys soon. Have fun and don't get too wasted."

We laughed and Bill gave Uli a hug then she disappeared from the door. We began talking about the show again, praised Gustav on his drum solo, and mocked Georg on his failed attempt at singing during "Girl Got a Gun". Our fans were the greatest. We had been a band for over 10 years, we all felt like family, and our fans were our friends. I walked over to the mirror and began fixing my hair back into a bun when her face appeared to me. I turned around suddenly, looked at the guys, all spread out over the small room.

"You guys! Those girls! Remember those girls?" I asked them dropping my hands from my hair, ignoring the reason I came to the mirror. "Yeah!" Georg said smiling. "How could we forget? They were so fucking sexy"

"Sexy, sexy" Bill said grabbing more grapes as he sat down taking off his colossal shoes. "Those shoes killed me! AH!"

"Are they coming to party?" Georg asked.
