Soon, the hours go by and Sheri and I are on our way to the venue for that night's concert, the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. "Sheri, wanna know something cool about me?" I ask, looking at my friend. "Sure sis." she smiles as we head into the PNC. "You know who Tom Petersson is, right?" I ask, looking around. "Yeah, he's the bassist." Sheri replies, smiling. "He's my uncle." I laugh. "Wait, really?" Sheri asks, shocked, as I nod happily. By the way, he has a mop of dirty blond hair and blue green eyes, which he hides behind nerdy glasses. Right at that moment, Tom sneaks up on me. "Boo!!" he yells loud, making me jump. "Really?" I smirk as I turn around to hug him. "I missed you, Uncle T." He wraps his arms around me and hugs me tight. "I missed you too, sweetheart. Who's your friend?" he wonders, glancing at Sheri, who's flirting with Robin. "That's my best friend Sheri. She has a huge crush on Robin." I tell him, smiling. A couple minutes later, I sneak up on Robin and jump on his back, making him laugh. "Hey little buddy." he smiles as I bury my face in his hair and sniff it happily. "Does it smell good?" he jokes as I sit next to him and play with his hair. "Hey guys, wanna watch our soundcheck?" Robin asks, grinning. Sheri and I glance at each other. "No shit, Robin. Of course we wanna watch, you dingus." As soon as I call Robin a dingus, everyone starts laughing. While everyone's laughing, I grab that night's setlist and look at it.

After I check out the set, I go to where my guitars are. Grabbing my acoustic guitar, I head into the quiet room. I sit down and play The Flame, one of my absolute favorite acoustic songs. As I start to sing, Daxx, the drummer, pokes his head in. "Hi Ori." he smiles, causing me to look up. "Oh hey Daxx. What's up?" I smile as the curly blonde haired drummer sits across from me. "Not much. Just trying not to go crazy." he laughs. "Come on, let's go. I wanna watch you guys." Daxx and I head back out and he joins the band as they do their soundcheck.
