The gaurd looks us up and down at the front of the door, with his arms folded. "So your telling me that your part of the entertainment for tonight, with no crew, no manager, no nothing? Yeah your not getting through." He blocks our way some more with his wide frame. We been out here trying to get in here for about 30 minutes now and when I say that its embarrassing, thats just an understatement. Everyone kept complaining to us and pushing us trying to get in with their boo.

"Okay first of all, we dont have to have a crew or nothing okay? And second, I am their manager, has been for a while now. So if you dont let us through now, we gonna be late for the opening act." Peaches defends our case, standing up to the gaurd not showing any sign of defeat. She is doing so much better than what I might have done. Actually if this was just me, this wouldnt be a problem, I would've found a way to sneak in quite honestly.

The gaurd chuckles heavily standing his ground before asking, "Okay if thats the case then, who are you opening up for?" Peaches shuffled on her feet a few times before giving up and letting loose. "You know what--" She tries jumping up to the bouncer grabbing onto his shirt. We try holding her back by her arms but it was useless and we all ended up knocking over some nearby drinks out of a waitress' hand.

Then a hoarse voice came through the door stopping it all. "Hey! Don't worry about it, they're with me." I look up and see this slim white boy with juicy curly hair and a face full of spiraling freckles. He wore a stripped loosely fit sweater and tight denim jeans and busted up converse, not following the 70s theme at all.

"Uh...yeah yeah, were with him, stupid." Peaches retorted certainly pointing to the boy that stood at the doorway, him nodding his head surely.

"Are you sure? Them?" The bouncer asked shocked, making Peaches shift on her feet some more, obviously agitated. "He said that didnt he?!"

"Yeah, I called them in earlier today. They came to help me and the boys with the music, right guys?" The boy looked over our way, sending us a knowing wink when the bouncer looked over to us.

We just looked at each other nodding our heads and mumbling "uh huhs" and "yes'" frequently like submissive housewives. The gaurd sighed longingly, unfolding his arms and hesitantly unclasping the red rope, letting us in.

"Dumbass" Peaches mumbles

Once we make it past the door which was a hassle in itself, we try keeping up with the boy in front who helped us in. We walk up in his pace, still keeping up with him despite the amount of crowded bodies in here although we lost Zara along the way.
