Our Heroes

Chap 6

Gabby's POV

"You're not going to mess up," I said. I watched them practice for hours. I looked at my watch. "When can we get some sleep?"

"What time is it?" asked Drew.

"Three am," I said.

"We need to get some rest for the schools," said Drew. "Even though I'm not the one performing but I'm sure you guys got enough practice."

"Enough?" asked Todd. "I think we got more than enough."

"I agree with Todd," said Alexis.

"You didn't break a sweat," said Blake.

"Maybe not but I have while working for the FBI," said Alexis. "I choose this over a case anyday."

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Yes, seriously," said Alexis. "I've missed seeing you guys."

"We were in DC plenty of times," said TC. "Why didn't you come to the show?"

"I tried to take the Saturday's off but my unit cheif wouldn't let me," said Alexis. "Only because either there were too many agents taking off that day or we were still working on the previous case."

"You always worked, worked, worked," I said.

"I never had any free time to play, play, play," said Alexis.

"All work, no play," said Britt. "Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"What are you trying to say?" I asked.

"I want the Alexis I had back in senior year," said Britt.

"That Alexis had work and fun," said Alexis. "The bureau can change a person."

"Exhibit A?" I asked, looking at Alexis.

"Yeah," said Alexis nodding.

"Well, time to go to sleep?" asked Blake smiling.

"Yes," said Drew. "Time to sleep. Gabs rooms with me."

"That's the plan," I said. "I wasn't planning on sleeping on the floor or the couch."

Drew's POV (Saturday Concert)

We were standing in front of the door. "We can hear the crowd," I said looking out the small window. "You guys ready?"

"You're lucky I got Britt to perform for the next six weeks before you can perform again," said Todd. "Because after that, I have to perform for six weeks to get our schedule back on track."

"Does that mean we have to change the information on our tours?" asked Blake.

"We have to," I said. "It lists who the opening act is."

"Where's Alexis?" asked Blake.

"Out there with Jonnie," I said. "He's trying to get the mics to work and as soon as he does that Alexis will do her little speech and go off with the chant."

"We listen for the music and perform," said TC.

"Where's Gabby?" asked Devin.

"Working the merch table with Mama Fox," I said.

"She's working a lot," said Jayk. "How are the two of you getting along?"

"Just fine," I said. "Alright, guys." I looked at them. "Let's do our chant."

"My favorite memory was when Seirra asked if you were the sound boy," said Jayk.

"Alexis tripped on the mic stand," Blake smiled. "It was cute though."

"Twerking," said Devin.

"Meeting all of Drew's fans," said Todd.

"Just performing in general," said TC.

"One, two, here we go," we all chanted. "After, After Romeo."

"And Alexis isn't even done yet," I said.

"They haven't even started," said Gabby walking in. "Alexis is telling Britt to keep singing and Britt is running out of options."

"What's going on?" asked Todd.

"Blake's mic isn't working," said Gabby. Gabby took her hand to the earpiece. "It's working now. Listen for Alexis' cue."

"Got it," I said.
