Significance (4th in the Encore!!! tour)

Chapter Twenty Eight

Brighton Andrew's POV

Our last two concerts were in Dallas, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico. They passed like a hazy dream as anticipation built. By the time we were back in New York, we only had one concert left: Madison Square Garden.

"Are we ready for this?" I asked my best friends on the plane back to New York. "I just wanted to say that this has been one of the best experiences of my life, and..." Meth cut me off, hitting me over the head.

"Save it for the end of the tour, Brighton," he told me, his amused voice still gruff from disuse. I rolled my ice blue eyes.

"I was going to go into this whole spiel about our friendship and what it means to me and I was going to be so deep," I wiped away a fake tear from my eye. "But it will have to wait. I will deliver my speech at the end of the tour," I said confidently, turning back to my bass. In good time...

Terra, Josh, and their girls were on the plane with us, as well as Poe's Raven. Apparently, Raven had made up with her longtime boyfriend, Justin, and they were engaged to be married so he was along for the ride. Adele was happily playing with the McDonough girls and Aaron had Miracle and Calypso up in the cockpit, "helping" him fly the plane.

Terra came over to speak to Meth, Amy, and myself about our publicity post-tour with the new album in the works. She had always been very efficient with her time.

"So, after this tour is over, McDonough Studios has a massive project in the works. We have already secured some of our newer artists, like Caila, as well as AJ Tyler & the Kiss and Poe's Raven. Would you be willing to go back on the road? It's another tour and it will last all summer," she informed us, watching our faces. Amy and I both looked to Meth. It was really up to him. While Amy was the front person of our band, Meth made the decisions.

He contemplated for a moment, looking at Amy. "What do you think, are you willing to bring Adele on the road again?"

"Terra, do we have set dates? Will we be home in time to start Adele in pre-school?" Amy asked, looking over at her tiny doppelganger.

"Everyone will be home by August 31st, no exceptions. I have to get my three enrolled, as well, you know," Terra teased, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

I knew what the decision was the second Meth met my eyes. I grinned and answered for all of us. "Well then, yes, we would love to come along. Who is the main act?"

"We are still ironing out the details, but the goal is to have the ten bands each do a few songs. We are calling it the Encore!!! tour."

"So did she ask you?" Harmony popped over, leaning in to our circle. Autumn rolled her eyes, getting ready to pull her energetic blonde friend away.

"She did. We're in!" Amy squealed, joining the girls in celebration. Meth and I looked at each other before gesturing Justin and Josh over.

"Just let it pass, my friend. You do not want to get in the middle of that," I counseled, patting the newcomer on the shoulder.

"But if they start jumping up and down, we can intervene. That could possibly bring down the plane," Josh added, watching the girls. "That would be bad."

We all agreed. That would be very bad.
