Tim handed his wife her drink as she walked up. She grabbed her luggage and followed the rest of the group before stopping and turning around. Giving one last wave to the small group who'd gotten out of bed in the middle of the night just to meet Home Free at the airport when they came in before turning back around. They all waved back and began shouting again as the band left the airport.

Luke hailed them a cab to take them to their airport where they could get some actual rest. Rob and Austin had been waving at the small group of fans while Kalene had been talking to them. As Luke and Kalene both suspected, everyone crashed as soon as they made it to their rooms although they tried to make plans to meet up for dinner later that evening. "Jet lag sucks" Kalene huffed as she plopped back onto their bed making Tim laugh.

"Imagine how poor Genesis felt going from the US to Europe staying a short while back in the US then heading to Australia, back to the US, then off to Asia, then back to the US!" Tim chuckled as he stripped down for bed.

"Very true." Kalene chuckled as she slowly sat up, "Poor thing."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wow. This place looks really cool." Rob exclaimed as they entered the artist's entrance.

"It's much bigger than I thought it was going to be." Austin added in with a nod.

Kalene smiled as Luke stood around with the band while she headed off to find the venue manager. She introduced herself as professionally as she could. He looked surprised that the band's tour manager was a woman but told her to follow him. There were only two rooms for the band to get ready in. Although she didn't know what she wasn't expecting, only two rooms wasn't it. They approached the band and Luke whom she introduced to the venue manager.

He began speaking solely to Luke which was irritating her. As he and Luke were discussing how the show was going to go, she turned to the band and had them began deciding who was going to share which dressing room. Tim and Adam decided to share a dressing room making the other three nod their heads.

Kalene left to check on the crew to make sure they were able to get their gear into the venue and get it set up right. Nate was rolling two of their big plastic bins with t-shirts to where he was about to set up their merch table. He gave her a smile as he walked on by making her smile back. She left to go check on Chris and Cole. The house crew seemed confused that they didn't have instruments making her laugh.

The day rolled on and she helped Abe hype up the fans over social media. Fans had already began showing up at the venue before noon! Kalene walked outside to peek around the corner to see how many people were already there. There were at least fifteen people already there and it seemed like most were the ones at the airport! She chuckled before walking back into the building. Opting to be the cool tour mom, she grabbed an armload of bottles of water and headed out the front door.

"Kalene! It's nice to see to see you again!" Scarlett exclaimed.

"You too, Scarlett! I thought I'd bring y'all some water since you're here already. Keep you from getting too thirsty before the venue opens up." Kalene started passing out the waters.

"You're so sweet!" Lynne retorted with a smile.

"I'd want someone being kind to me if I were sitting out waiting for a venue to open up for a show!" Kalene stated as she made her way down the line.

"What can we expect tonight?" A woman asked.

"Fun, hilarity, and great music!" Kalene chuckled, "They are really funny. You guys are gonna love seeing them live, I promise."

She finished passing out the waters to the fans who'd already showed up. Not needed back inside, she stood outside talking with the fans for quite a while. She found she really loved talking with the spunky purple-headed woman. They were so much alike and Kalene found it funny. Eventually she was needed so she bid the group goodbye and waved before walking back into the building.

There were some issues with the lighting so she had to get with the in-house crew to help Frank and Cole. There were a few other issues that had come up making Kalene run around like a chicken with her head cut off. The band were off doing interviews. Once she'd dealt with all the issues, she checked back with all the crew to make sure things were going smoothly again.

With nothing causing issues, she headed to over to see Nate and see if she could help with his set-up. He was still setting up their showcase so she opted to set up Tim's graphic novel for him. Once she was done, she bid the blond a goodbye who waved at her with a smile. Scarlett and Lynne were chatting feverishly about what the show was going to be like.

"I hope Tim's book is available for sale." One woman stated.

"I've been told by some online friends that they've been selling them at them at the shows." Lynne told her.

"Awesome! I've been saving my money for it. I hope he'll sign it for me." She giggled.

"Kalene said earlier he would in the signing line." Scarlett told her, "I'm getting it too."

"Anyone have UVIP?" An older woman asked.

"Me and Lynne do. We've been saving for this for a long time." Scarlett giggled.

"What goes on during the UVIP? I was wondering if it was worth the money to get the upgraded packages." The older woman stated.

"You get to hang out with the band and spend time speaking with them individually and even take some selfies with them. You'll get a photo with the whole band as well. You get a lanyard, a poster, and a tote as well as a song not performed in the show and a Question & Answer session." Scarlett replied.

"Oh wow! That sounds amazing." The older woman stated.

"We've heard it is."Lynne retorted.
