Thanks for the reads guys. My love for you all is strong as a rock. To all my followers... you're so great!
  Okay keep reading...

Uh...we thought in this realm, it was gonna be only us and no other human being. Or animal. Or an alien. I almost jumped in fright when I looked around me. I and Sophie talked so much we hadn't even realised we've reached the area of stage management and crews and all those...people!
    They were all over us, running around trying to get things done. I think the stage is gonna be used now.

  "How did you two get in here?" The lady asked again. She was tall, slender and pretty, with glowing ebony skin. Her ponytail perfectly done on her head held high. She's wearing a well-made tailored cotton dress shirt with navy colored pants to match with her cool blazers. She releases so much power and authority by her looks and voice. Is she perhaps the owner of this mini heaven?

  "Um...I", I stare at the ceiling trying to form an excuse to give.

  "We're here for the show!" Sophie said. I snapped my head to her im  sure I heard a crack. She grinned like a cheschire cat and then nervously nudged and nodded at me to go with the flow.

  "Uh...um yes. The show...I'm sure it's gonna be a blast yeah" I licked my lips. Too much talking!!

The lady just stared at us while clasping her smooth and delicate fingers in front of her. "I see", she nodded and looked at us suspiciously, "but aren't you guys a bit too early? the show doesn't start in like an hour"

Hell no! What now? I asked Sophie with my eyes.

  "Well, you see...", she tried but I could see she was lost for words. Gosh! she's always been the one speaking, while I'm the one who keeps mute. It's high time I speak up for the both of us.

  "The thing is, we just like to be early. And I mean waaaay early for an amazing concert like this one. And to get the front row as well"

The lady seemed to be getting convinced with our lie here. I hope she doesn't ask anymore questions. I cross my fingers behind my back.

  "Okay then", she spoke up, "I'm Farren, director of the whole show. I run this place to make sure everything is in order and perfect"
We give her a big 'oh'
"So what are your names?" Farren asked

  "I'm Becky", I say, "this is my best friend Sophie"

  "Hi" Sophie greeted.

  "Nice to meet you both"

Just as we were talking, a girl walked up to us. She seems like I and Sophie's age. She's actually beautiful, with the amount of sparkly make-up in her face like she's about to get wedded. She's wearing a high waist black mini skirt and a shirt, with hot knee length boots. Her auburn hair is let loose so long it reaches her waist.

Farren heard her footsteps behind her and turned around to her. "Oh Suzy, are you done with your work?"

  "Oh yes", the Suzy girl said not even sparing us a glance. It was like we weren't there. Sophie gave me a look that said, 'such-a-brat'. "Our star is looking dazzling, thanks to my exquisite and rare make-up skills"

hmm...Show off!

  "I'm glad you've pulled it off nicely as always. Thank you for your great services"

  "I know I'm talented. You can't find anyone like me anywhere"

I caught Farren rolling her eyes when Suzy was checking out her long black nails.
