"Let's go to the mall." Benji answered. "I don't feel like getting mobbed today.." Billy laughed. "Hm, well maybe if you disguised yourself a little better, people wouldn't mob you!" Joel laughed, poking some fun at Billy. "Fine, okay..fine. Let's go to the mall." Billy sighed, knowing how badly Benji wanted to go (shopping is Benji's hobby!). "Aight." Joel replied as he got up off the couch, where him and Cash were sitting. "I'm gonna let Cash out, he probably has to piss." Benji said as he walked over to the door. "Come on Cash, time to go out!" He yelled. Cash went running excitedly out the door. "Haha damn dog." Joel laughed. Billy just sighed, with thoughts running through his head. "What was that sigh for Billy?" Benji asked curiously. "Nah nothin." Billy replied. "We should hook you up with someone Billy." Benji grinned. "Oh god no! Last time you tried doing that, I ended up wasted with a broken bed. So please spare me the torture this time Benj.." Billy begged as he remembered his last experience with a girl Benji had set him up with. "Oh c'mon! I'll find a better girl, trust me. Pleeease?" Benji whined. "NO!" Billy said firmly. "C'mon..I promise I'll find a nice girl." Benji replied. "NO! No, no, no! And that's that. The subject is closed." Billy yelled, getting a little annoyed. "Okay, okay..sorry. I was just trying to help." Benji laughed. Billy sighed quietly to himself, thinking 'I wish I had a girlfriend. Then maybe I'd be happier?' "Forget everything you all said and let's fucking go to the mall!!" Joel said impatiently. "Aright, aright. Let's go." Benji laughed as they all walked out of the house and into Benji's jeep. He started the car and began the drive to the mall. About a half-hour later, the guys made it to the mall and walked inside. "Where do you wanna go first guys?" Benji asked. "We is gonna go to InDusTRial, dawgz!" Joel grinned, practicing his ghetto vocabulary. Benji just rolled his eyes at his brother as they began walking to InDusTRial. Joel and Benji fished around in the store, as Billy waited by the checkout counter. He found himself staring out into space until the cashier hit the counter, making him jump. "You okay?" She asked. "Hm? Oh, yeah fine.." Billy laughed embarrassedly as he turned around to see who he was talking to. 'Whoa..' He thought to himself. Before him stood a young girl with a lip and eyebrow piercing, short spikey brown hair, and greenish-blue eyes. She had on a pair of red bondage pants and a matching red short-sleeved shirt. Billy was in total awe. "Hiya Billy!" Benji smiled as he popped up next to him. "Hey." Benji laughed. "HEY! You have the same pants as me!" Benji said excitedly to the cashier, pointing to his red bondage pants. She laughed a little, and said "Um, yeah..a lot of people do." Benji just grinned at her and he pulled Billy away for a minute. "Dude, you think she's hot!" He said quietly, so the cashier wouldn't hear him. "No I don't!" Billy argued. Benji put his hands on his hips as if he was saying 'oh please!' "Okay fine, maybe I do." Billy confessed. "You should ask her for her number. I bet she thinks you're hot too." Benji suggested. "No way! I don't even know her!" Billy replied. "Then get to know her, we'll come back to InDusTRial later." Benji answered as he dragged Billy out of the store to wait for Joel. "Hey how much beez this pair of pants yo?" Joel said as he handed a pair of thug pants to the cashier. "They beez 50 dollas ya ghetto thug wannabe." She replied wittily. "Aw man! Hey, I'm trying.." He laughed as he handed her a 50 dollar bill. "Being 'thug' isn't how you dress or how you talk. It's who you are. You're either thug, or you aren't. And I'm guessing that you aren't." She explained. "Hah, my brother is all punked out." He said as he signed the receipt and handed it to her. "Which one is he? The one who was spacing out?" She asked. "Uhh, I dunno..he was the one with the bondage pants." Joel explained. "Ohh, he weirded me out.." She said with a laugh. "Yeah, he tends to do that a lot." Joel agreed with a smile. "So who's that other guy?" She asked curiously. "Oh, that's Billy! Why, you think he's hot?" Joel asked slyly. "No, I was just wondering. I think I scared him when I hit the cash register. He was spacing out." She said. "Ohh-" Joel began, then quickly looked at her name-tag. "Jordan." He finished with a grin. "Isn't that like a guy's name?" Joel laughed. "Yeah, but I like it." She replied. "Cool..But um, I better go..it was nice talking to you?" He laughed as he stuck out his hand. "Yeah." She said as she just stood there. "Well whatever floats your boat." He said as he stuck his hand in his pocket and walked out of the store. "Dude, it took you long enough!!" Benji said as he jumped to his feet. Billy wasn't paying attention, he was just staring through the store display window at Jordan. "I know, I was talking to that chick..she's pretty cool!" Joel explained. "Yeah, Billy thinks she's hot." Benji laughed. "Ooh I think she thinks he is too, she was asking about him." Joel replied, noticing that Billy was staring at her. "YEP!" Benji yelled as he hit Billy on the back, bringing him back to reality. "Whoa!" Billy yelled. "Sorry, you were staring again." Benji laughed. Billy blushed a little as he looked bashfully down at the ground. "Dude, I think she likes you." Joel grinned. "Yeah right, she doesn't even know me." Billy replied, a little testy. "Yeah then why was she asking who you were? HMM?" Joel questioned. "Because she scared the living shit out of me when she hit the cash register..I probably freaked her out cuz I was spacing!" Billy answered. Joel just shrugged and exchanged glances with his brother. "Let's go eat, I'm starving." Benji interrupted. Billy nodded as they began walking toward the food court. The guys grabbed their food and sat down at a table. Then, as Billy chomped into his taco he saw Jordan. His mouth dropped open in awe at how beautiful she was, and part of his taco fell onto the plate. "DUDE, gross!!!" Benji said with a laugh. Then Jordan started walking their way. "Guys, holey shit she's walking this way! What do I do!?" Billy replied, freaking out. "Just calm the fuck down first of all.." Joel laughed. Then Jordan walked past them, heading for a table. To Billy, it was like slow motion watching her eyes flutter open and closed. She then sat down at a table beside them with a slice of pizza on the tray in her hands. "Shiiit.." Billy said, as he came back to reality. "She's so beautiful." He finished, as he stood up on his feet to go talk to her, but before he knew it, found himself on the floor..hitting his head on the chair Benji was sitting in. He had slipped on the some ketchup on the floor and fell hard on his ass. Benji and Joel couldn't help but crack up, both of them spitting out their food a little, grossed out, but dying of laughter at the same time. Jordan gave Billy a weird look and began eating her pizza. "Oh man!!" Billy said to himself as he pulled himself up off the floor. "She totally just gave me a look." He reported to the twins. "Dude that was fucking hilarious!" Benji laughed hilariously. "Shut up! It's not funny, she probably thinks I'm a total dork." Billy replied sadly as he sat down in his seat again. "You're not a whale's dick!" Joel answered. Benji couldn't help but start laughing even more. "Wait." Benji said, as he stopped laughing. "I don't get it." "Nevermind fool." Joel said, rolling his eyes. "Yo Billy, I'm sorry.." Joel apologized, truly feeling bad for his friend. Billy just sighed as he finished his taco, got up carefully and put his tray on top of the garbage bin. Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Benji-" He began as he turned around. "OH!" He said, embarrassedly. It was Jordan. "Hi." She said with a laugh and weirded out look. "Hi." Billy managed to say with a smile. "So what'd you wanna say to me?" She asked. "Huh?" Billy asked, confusedly. "You were getting up to come talk to me. What were you gonna say?" Jordan explained. "Holey, how did you know?!" Billy replied, amazed. "Well, it was kinda obvious and you were like checking me out before.." She said with a laugh. Billy turned 3 shades of red as he quickly looked down at the ground. "How old are you?" She asked slyly. "19, I'm gonna be 20 soon." He answered. "You?" He asked. She just gave him a pissed off look as she walked away, blowing him off. Billy just stood there, confused at what she had just done. He shook his head a little bit, then walked back to the table. "So what'd she say? What'd you say!?" Benji asked anxiously. "I don't know.." Billy replied, puzzled at her reaction to his age. "Bullshit. What did you say?" Benji answered. "I think she blew me off." He explained. Benji and Joel both exchanged glances, nodded, then jumped to their feet, running after Jordan. "HEY!" They both yelled as they dodged her. "What the fuck!?" She said. "Get the fuck off of me!" She yelled angrily. "No, you owe an apologize to our friend Billy. You fucking blew him off you bitch." Benji said as he grabbed her arms, putting them behind her back and held them tightly so she couldn't escape him. "What the fuck? He's 20!!" She replied. "No, he's 19." Benji corrected. "And you're..?" Joel asked. "Take a guess." She smirked snottily. "18." Benji guessed. "No." She said. "17!" Joel answered. "No." She yawned. "19?" Benji asked. "No." She replied. "16?" Joel asked. "No.." She said. "Damn you're not like 12 are you?" Benji laughed. "Fuck no." Jordan exlaimed. "15? You're 15?" Joel concluded. "Ding-ding-ding tell him what he's won Bob!" She said. "Holey fuck, no way!!" Benji screamed with wide eyes. "Yeah now get the fuck off of me you asshole." She snorted. "Joel, tell Billy." Benji commanded. "Yes sir!" Joel laughed as he ran back over to Benji. "What the hell are you guys doing to her?" Billy asked. "Dude, she's 15." Joel said with a disgusted look. "Are you kidding me?" Billy replied, wide-eyed. "Not really." Joel answered. "Oh shit, fucking.." He said, searching for a word. "SHIT!" He finished. "Dude, I'm sorry.." Joel began. "Just, just forget it." Billy sighed as he began walking over to her. "Benj, let her go." He said. "As you wish." Benji replied as he let go of Jordan's arms. "God what is wrong with you people? You're fucking animals!" She yelled. Billy looked at her, and made eye-contact with her, but quickly turned away. Jordan walked away, not turning back. Chapter 2 "Younger girls suck..Billy, listen to the song 'Boy Crazy' by NFG sometime." Benji said, trying to lift Billy's spirits. "But Benji, I like her. Even if I don't know her, I want to get to know her." Billy explained. "Oh c'mon Billy. There are BETTER girls out there who are in your age group." Benji answered, putting his hands on his hips. "I don't care what you say, I still like her." Billy whined. Benji just rolled his eyes. "Just leave him Benji, if he likes her he likes her." Joel said to his brother. "Listen man, I just don't want you to get hurt. A lot of younger girls aren't looking for love, all they want is to get down your pants. Billy, you're my best friend, I'm just looking out for you." Benji apologized. "I know Benji." Billy sighed. "I'm not your best friend!?" Joel burst out. "Yo dawg, I see how it be. Ya'll are gettin' me all up in here, yo!" Joel said. "Joel, cut it out with the ghetto shit already." Benji replied."Yo son, I ain't no ghetto shit!" Joel answered. Benji just rolled his eyes as Billy cocked up an eyebrow. "What?" Joel asked. "Is there something in my teeth?" He asked. "Joel, you scare me sometimes." Benji said. "Oh but don't we all." Joel replied. "Guys I'm gonna go talk to her." Billy concluded. But the guys were too engrossed with argueing with each other as Billy walked back into InDusTRial. "Hi." He said, leaning against the front desk. "What do you want?" She asked snottily. "Look, I'm sorry about my friends. Okay?" Billy apologized. Jordan just sighed, thinking of what to say. "And I just wanted to invite you to come see my band play tonight, you'll be on the guestlist so just tell 'em who you are. But you probably won't want to go, so I'll just leave you alone now." Billy said, leaving the store. Jordan watched Billy walk out of the store. "Whoa, he put me on the guestlist?" She asked herself. "Nobody's ever done that for me before except dumbass Jeremiah." She said to herself, rolling her eyes. Meanwhile.. "So what'd she say?" Joel asked Billy. "Nothing." Billy sighed, a little sad. "Hey you never know Bil, she might go." Benji smiled. "Maybe." Billy replied quietly. "Well, I think WE should get going. Our soundcheck's probably gonna be after Mest's." Benji said. "Oh man, Jeremiah isn't at this show, is he?" Billy asked nervously. "Yeah.. Why wouldn't he be?" Benji replied. "He always teases me! God, I feel like I'm 10 years old around him." Billy explained. "Aww dude, don't worry. He's just playing! He says you're like a little bro to him." Benji laughed. "Yeah he was 'just playing' when he flushed Mr. Giggles down the toilet?" Billy asked, almost crying. "Dude, that teddy bear had to go. You're almost 20 years old!" Benji replied. "Well what about your old, run down blanket that you've had since you were 5? HM?" Billy answered, getting back at Benji. "HEY my grandma made that for me before she died!" Benji said, angrily. "Well I'm still mad at Jeremiah for that." Billy concluded. "Guys, can you please stop fighting? We have a show to play tonight and I don't want it to be shitty." Joel interrupted. Both Billy and Benji sighed. "Okay, okay. Let's get going then." Benji said. Billy and Joel both agreed by nodding as they headed out of the mall, and to the venue they were playing at. "We're heeere!" Benji yelled as they walked inside. "Hey guys, we were waiting for you!" Paul said, running over to them with Dusty following. "How long have you been waiting?" Joel asked, feeling bad. "A few hours.." Dusty answered. "Oh dude, I'm sorry!" Joel laughed, as he hugged Dusty. "It's okay, just get your arms off of me." Dusty replied. Joel gave a confused look. "I'm just kidding man! You're my buddy, I love ya dude!" Dusty exlaimed, as he squeezed Joel. Joel just laughed back. "Oh I see how it is, I don't get any loving!" Benji cried. "We love you Benji!" Dusty and Joel screamed like a teeny as they practically tackled him. "Poor Billy had no loving now!" Paul whined as he stood beside Billy and hugged him. It was always their routine before every show. They gathered in a circle, hugged each other and wished for a good show, sang the chorus of "Motivation Proclamation", then ran onstage. "What's wrong Billy?" Paul asked, noticing that Billy was more quiet than usual. "Nothing." He sighed. "He's having girl problems." Joel answered, jumping beside them. "AWW poor Billy!!!" Paul cried sympathetically as he hugged him again. "It's okay Paul..but-" Billy began. "I can't breathe." He finished. "Oh, sorry." Paul laughed, letting Billy go. "Hey guyyys!" Jeremiah from Mest yelled as he ran to them. "My little sister is probably gonna come to the show tonight. I put her on the guestlist." He smiled. "That's cool. How old is she?" Paul asked. "15, too young for you Paul. Sorry." Jeremiah laughed. "That's cool." Paul laughed back. "Yeah, she's alright. She's all punked out though so it's cool." Jeremiah explained. Billy just smiled. "Well it's your turn guys. Soundcheck time!" He said, patting Billy hard on the back as he walked away. Billy just rolled his eyes at Jeremiah. "See!" Billy whined to Benji. Benji laughed to himself as the guys prepared for a soundcheck. An Hour Before The Show... "Hey guys, I'm gonna go pick up my little sis. Anybody wanna come?" Jeremiah asked. "I'll go, I'm hella bored." Joel replied. "Alright, let's go." He answered, grabbing his hoodie. "Cool." Joel said as they both exited the venue. "Only an hour 'till the show.." Josh, a security guard at the venue announced. "Wahoooo!" Benji yelled, all excited. "Ohh god, nervousness!" Dusty answered. Inside, Billy was thinking the same exact thing as his stomach tied into knots of nervousness. "Dude Benji, let's have a good show!" Paul said. "Yeah Paul! Hey Billy, let's have a good show, okay?!" Benji asked all excited. It was a dumb little joke between Paul and Benji and it had to go all the way around, then when it came down to the last person, they had to say "okay!" and start wrestling with the person before them. "Okay Benji. Dusty, let's have a good show." Billy replied unenthusiastically. "OKAY!" Dusty practically screamed as he lept onto Billy. "AAAH!" Billy yelled as Dusty started wrestling with him. "Go Dusty!" Paul yelled. "C'mon Billy!!" Benji yelled. After 5 minutes, Billy was pinned by a grinning Dusty. He just rolled his eyes and asked Dusty to get off of him. "HAHAHA poor Billy." Benji said, cracking up. "Dusty-the champion!" Paul exlaimed, pulling one of Dusty's arms into the air. "God what is with you guys today?" Billy asked, a little mad. "Nothing..what's with YOU today? Ever since you saw that girl you've been acting like you're PMSing or something!" Benji answered. "Well-" Billy began, thinking of a comeback. "Well what?" Benji asked. "SO WHAT! Leave me alone!" Billy yelled as he ran out of the building, heading for the bus. Chapter 3 He climbed into his bunk and started to cry. "Is he gonna be okay?" Dusty asked, feeling bad. "Yeah, he's just dumb like that." Paul answered. "Now I feel all bad!" Dusty cried sadly. "Dude, it's okay. He'll get over it." Paul assured. Just then, the main entrance to the venue swung open and a punked out girl stepped inside. "Hey how'd you get in here? You'll have to wait for autographs after the show." Benji said, thinking it was a fan of his. "Don't tell me what to do." She answered with an attitude. "Hey you better watch it now little-" Paul began but Benji interrupted him. "HEY you're that girl from the mall!!" Benji exlaimed. "Surprise, surprise." Jordan said. "Who?" Paul asked, cluelessly. "Long story.." Benji replied. "But anyway.. How'd you get in here?" Benji asked her. "I have a pass." She answered, waving her all access pass in the air. "What? How'd you get that?!" He questioned. "None of your business." She said. "Oh my god, Billy didn't give it to you, did he? If he did I'm so gonna whoop his ass." Benji replied. "Maybe, maybe not." Jordan smiled wittily. Benji just rolled his eyes. "So is Jeremiah around?" She asked. "No, he went to go pick up his little sister. Why?" Benji explained. "Oh no reason. Just wondering." She replied with a yawn. "You two aren't like dating, are you?" Benji questioned slyly. "Oh my god, no! Never, that is just WRONG." Jordan answered, almost gagging. "Geez, he's really that bad?" Dusty asked with an amused laugh. "He's annoying, god he gets on my nerves." Jordan said. "Huh? Do you know him??" Paul asked confusedly. "Uh yeah! We're like this." She laughed, twisting her middle and index finger as close as they could go. "No comprende." Benji answered. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Paul yelled. "Paul, calm the frick down." Benji laughed, grabbing his band-mate's shoulder. "Who is she? How do you know her? How do Billy and Jeremiah know her? Answers, answers please!" Paul exlaimed. "She's some girl from the mall." Benji said. "No duh, really?" Paul replied sarcastically. "And I don't know how she knows Jeremiah. I'm still trying to figure that out." He continued. While Benji continued to spill out the whole mall experience to Paul, Dusty took Jordan aside and began talking to her. "So you know Jeremiah?" He asked. She nodded. "That's cool..do you like Mest?" He asked. "Eh they're alright. I'm more into heavier stuff. They sing like pussies." She explained. Dusty could feel himself blush, because Good Charlotte and Mest's music were similar. "How 'bout Good Charlotte?" Dusty questioned. "I dunno, I've never heard their music." Jordan said. "Phew!" Dusty said under his breath. "I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Jordan replied, leaving the room. Of course she wasn't really going to the bathroom, she was going to look for Mest's tour bus to talk to the guys. She stepped onto the bus and found Matt, reading. "Hey, well if it isn't my favorite punk girl!" He smiled as he got up and hugged Jordan. "How are ya babe?" He asked, he was always especially nice to Jordan..she didn't know why. "Alright, where's Jeremiah?" She asked. "He went to go pick you up!" Matt laughed. She just rolled her eyes and laughed back. Matt couldn't help but smile. 'Stop hitting on your bandmate's-' Matt began to think, but then Jordan interrupted his thought. "So what are you reading?" She asked curiously. "Who me? Ah nothin." He grinned. "What is it porno? God you are a horrible liar." Jordan answered as she cocked up an eyebrow. "No it's not porno!!" Matt laughed. "It's a book about meditation. So sue me." He explained. "Why would I? There's nothing wrong with meditation." Jordan said. "Do you even know what it is?" Matt asked. "Just maybe Matt! I happen to meditate myself." Jordan answered with a laugh. Matt let himself laugh with her. Meanwhile.. "Welcome back!" Dusty smiled. "Yeah, my sister wasn't even home! God, the things I do for her." Jeremiah laughed as he rolled his eyes. "Yeah man, this girl we saw at the mall. Joel-you know what I'm talking about! That one Billy fell for, she somehow got a pass and got inside dude! And she said she knows YOU really well.." Benji explained, pointing to Jeremiah. "That's CRAZY! Where is she?" Joel asked. "She went to the bathroom." Dusty answered. "Who knows me really well?" Jeremiah asked confusedly. "Why would she come? I thought she hated us!" Joel laughed. "I know, I was like, 'whoa what the fuck are you doing here?'" Benji replied with a laugh. "WHO?" Jeremiah asked, totally lost. They all laughed, because Benji had just gotten through with telling Paul the whole long story. "Joel, would you like to take care of this one?" Benji asked, laughing. "Sure bro." Joel answered as he began telling Jeremiah about the 'mysterious mall girl'. "Wait a minute, you said she's 15, her name is JORDAN and she works at InDusTRial?" Jeremiah questioned. "Yeah..why?" Joel answered with a laugh. "DUDE! That's my sister!!!" Jeremiah burst out laughing. Chapter 4 "NO WAY!! Are you serious? Oh my god." Benji answered, with wide eyes. "Oh shit.." Joel said, afraid Jeremiah was going to beat him and Benji up for messing with his little sister. "Dude, you're not gonna like, beat us up or anything are you?" Joel asked. "No way! She's annoying. God, I don't even know why I put with her anymore." Jeremiah laughed as he rolled his eyes. "So where's my little buddy Billy?" Joel asked, changing the subject. "Oh, the little dork went on the bus to cry." Benji replied with a laugh. "Aww what'd you guys do to him?" Joel questioned, putting his hands on his hips. "Nothing.." Paul grinned. Joel just rolled his eyes as he went outside to the bus. "Hey Billy, man. Where are you?" Joel called as he stepped onto the bus. "In my bunk." Billy responded. "So whats up dude?" Joel asked, sitting on Billy's bunk beside him. Billy just shrugged. "The show's gonna start soon, we better get backstage." Joel said. "Yeah." Billy replied quietly as he followed Joel off the bus. "There you guys are!" Benji called. "Come on they're gonna start letting people in. We gotta get backstage unless you guys feel like getting mobbed." He said as he walked backstage. Billy and Joel both shrugged their shoulders and followed. Meanwhile.. "What do you mean I have to stay on the side of the stage?" Jordan whined to Jeremiah. "I don't want you to get hurt!" He explained. "Ugh!" Jordan mumbled angrily. "Oh c'mon Jordan. Don't be like that." He said. "Fuck you Jeremiah." She smiled as she ran out into the crowd and got up against the stage-front row center. "God if she gets hurt, someone's walking outta here with a broken nose." Jeremiah said to himself. "Hey!" Matt smiled as he and the rest of the guys from Mest walked into the room. "Hey guys!" Jeremiah laughed. "Ready for a kick-ass show?" Matt asked as he picked up his guitar. "Hell yeah!" Jeremiah smiled. Just as all the concert-goers were situated, the lights turned off. Jeremiah could hear the shrieks and shrills of the screaming fans. 'This is it!' He thought to himself as he gave a high-5 to the guys of Good Charlotte and ran onstage. "Hellooo everybody!" Tony said into the microphone. "Hiya!" Nick grinned. "How are ya'll doing tonight?" Tony asked, of course the crowd screamed back. "That's great. Well I'm Tony, and we're a band called Mest. This is a song originally by Modern English, it's called I Melt With You! Check it out." He said as they began the opening notes of I Melt With You. During "Cadillac" Tony held Jordan's hand and winked at her. She just rolled her eyes at Tony and he laughed. Their set had gone relatively will, and Sugarcult was now preparing for their set. "Good show guys!" Benji complimented. "Thanks Benj." Jeremiah smiled. "Why thank you Benjamin!" Tony said with a British accent. Benji just laughed. "So where's the twerp?" Joel asked. "She's up against the stage in the middle. Does Billy know she's here?" Jeremiah replied. "No." Joel answered. "And I think it's better if it stays that way." Joel said a little more quietly. "Huh?" Matt asked, totally confused. "It's nothin man, don't worry about it." Benji smiled. Matt just shook his head and laughed as he went to go get some water. Just then, the lights went off again. This time, the guys of Sugarcult ran onstage. Benji watched their set from the side of the stage. Matt and Nick went back on the bus-air conditioning! "Dude, it's SO obvious." Nick said to Matt. "What?" Matt asked. "Don't lie Matt. You KNOW you like her!" Nick replied slyly. "Like who?" Matt laughed innocently. "Oh please! JORDAN! You know you like her." He said. "No I don't..who said I liked Jordan..?" Matt asked. "Dude, you're blushing like crazy." Nick laughed. "Shut up!!" Matt laughed back embarrassedly as he began to blush more. "I think she's a little young for you man." He said. "15? Yeah but she's mature, damn if I didn't know better I woulda picked her up years ago." Matt replied. "And she's Jeremiah's sister. That's too weird to think about..I mean, they look EXACTLY alike! So, if you kissed her it'd be like kissing Jeremiah!" Nick explained, grossed out. Matt broke out in hysterical laughter. "Oh my god they look NOTHING alike. I think you're going blind or something Nick. Have you gone to an eye doctor lately?" Matt asked with an amused laugh. "No.." Nick laughed back. They both fell back and laughed. Meanwhile.. "This is our last song. It's one that we've never played before..we hope you guys like it!" Tim from Sugarcult grinned. Then they began "Stuck In America". Everybody went crazy. "Hell yeah!" Jess, Jordan's friend yelled as the song ended. "Thanks guys!" Sugarcult said as they walked offstage. "That was bad-ass." Jess said to Jordan. Jordan smiled. "You guys ready to go on?" Steve, GC's manager asked them. The guys all nodded. "Let's do this!" Paul grinned excitedly. They all gave each other high-fives and walked onstage as the lights dimmed. "Hey everyone!" Benji yelled into the mic. "What up dawgs?" Joel said into his mic. Jess started to freak out. "Ahh he's all ghetto!" She laughed to Jordan. Jordan just laughed back. "This is a song called Let Me Go." Benji said. The crowd instantly went wild. All of a sudden a crowdsurfing punk gal was thrown onstage. She crashed into Joel, making him fall down. Then the music stopped. "Oh my god, I am so sorry.." She apologized. "Shit, are you alright?" He asked, helping her up. They just smiled at each other for a minute. "Hey are you okay?" Paul asked into Benji's microphone. She did a thumbs up to him, and he smiled back. "You're sure you're okay?" Joel asked with a laugh. "I'm fine, I'm just a ditz." The girl laughed back. "Alright, then.." He began as he picked her up. "Get outta here!" He joked, pretending to throw her back into the crowd. "I'm just kidding, here ya go." Joel smiled as he put the girl back down into the crowd. So they picked up from the break, then finished the song. Soon enough, the show was over. Chapter 5 "Wow, good show." Benji said, exhausted. "Yeah, even when that girl went crashing into Joel." Paul laughed. "Oh, I didn't mind.." Joel grinned. "I'm just kidding. She was cute though." He said. "Yeah." Dusty replied. "So tomorrow's Warped Tour, guys!" Benji announced excitedly. "I know, man, I'm so excited!" Dusty smiled. "Yeah man, 2nd year in a row." Joel said. Meanwhile.. Billy gathered his stuff from backstage and walked onto the bus. He hopped into his bunk and just sighed to himself as he stared at the ceiling. Back Inside.. "Could you sign this for me?" A fan asked Benji. "Sure." He smiled as he signed a cd sleeve. "Thanks!" She said as she walked away. (Meanwhile) "Hey can we go talk to Joel? I wanted to thank him for helping me when I went flying into him onstage.." Jess asked Jordan with a laugh. "You go, I'm gonna go find my brother." Jordan replied. "What do I say to him though?!" Jess asked nervously. "Just be like 'hey, thanks for breaking my fall' or something." Jordan laughed. Jess nodded as she nervously walked over to the guys. "Um, hey Joel. You did a kick-ass job." Jess complimented. "Aw, thanks." Joel smiled. "Hey, aren't you that girl who crashed into me?" Joel asked. "Yeah.." Jess laughed embarrassedly as she blushed a little bit. "Aw, you're blushing! C'mere, give me a hug!" He said as he jumped off the counter he was sitting on and pulled Jess in a snuggly hug. She couldn't help but smile. "Awww!" Paul laughed. "So what exactly happened, you were crowdsurfing and they tossed you onstage?" Dusty asked. "Pretty much." Jess laughed. "Wow, I didn't know GC crowds were so violent. Before you know it, we'll be starting crazy GC mosh pits!" Joel chuckled. "Hah, that'd be the day." Paul said. "Indeedy!" Jess agreed as she and the guys both laughed. "I'm gonna go hangout on the bus." Benji said. "Alright." Joel replied. "Bye Benji!" Jess soluted as she waved 'bye' to him. "Later." Benji said half serious and half laugh. Chapter 6 Meanwhile, on the bus... Benji picked up his acoustic guitar and started to sing: "You know the happiest day of my life, I swear the happiest day of my life..Is the day that I die." "Hey Benj, you okay?" Billy asked from his bunk. "Whoa, I didn't know you were in here.." Benji said embarrassedly. "Yeah." Billy laughed. "Is everything okay?" Billy asked, realizing the sad words Benji was singing. "God, I don't know.." Benji sighed as he put his guitar down. "It's like, remember how you were sad about Jordan not liking you?" Benji asked. "Yeah.." Billy replied. "It's like, I feel sad because I don't even have anybody to like! I feel so lonely." He explained. "Dude, there's like a billion girls who would go out with you in five seconds. How could you possibly be lonely?" Billy asked with a laugh, not believing Benji. "Yeah, but the only reason they'd go out with me is because I'm in a band, or just because they think I'm cute." Benji answered with a frustrated sigh. "What about that porn star Kella you invited to a few Warped dates, huh??" Billy asked suspiciously as he raised an eyebrow. "Gimme a break Billy! We're only friends. And though she's hot, I don't think I'd ever date her." Benji replied. "I just want to find someone 18 or older, who likes me for me, and not my looks. I don't even care if she likes Good Charlotte or not." He said with another frustrated sigh. "Benj c'mon, I'm sure you'll find somebody." Billy replied sympathetically. "With my luck, she'll probably end up dumping me like the rest of my girlfriends." Benji answered. "No offence or anything, but the rest of your girlfriends were stupid, jealous, immature, little bitches who hated our fans." Billy said. Benji couldn't help but laugh a little bit. "Yeah, I guess so. I sure do miss Michelle though.." He sighed. "Oh come on!! Cheer up! I bet you you'll find somebody at Warped worth dating. I bet you $100." Billy smiled as he hopped out of his bunk. "Yeah right." Benji answered. "I'm serious! Come on Benj..I'll help you find someone!" Billy implied. "Fine." Benji sighed. "Sweet!!" Billy exlaimed excitedly. "You won't regret this." He smiled. Benji just thought to himself 'I sure hope so'. The days passed by as GC played the first few dates of the Vans Warped Tour. Then, on the date of Warped for Peoria, Arizona.. "Hey guys, be extra careful when you go outside today. This is Arizona. It's 110 out, so drink lots of water." Steve, GC's manager informed. "Aight." Joel replied. "Hey Benj, since it's a hot state, maybe you'll find some hot girls." Billy said with a wink. "Shut up Billy." Benji said as he rolled his eyes. Billy just laughed as he hopped over to his laptop computer. "WOOHOO!" He yelled as he jumped up and down for a minute. "What? What's wrong??" Paul asked, all worried. "She emailed me!" Billy smiled. "Who?" Dusty asked curiously. "Jordan!" Billy cried happily. "Ohh god." Paul laughed. "Who's Jordan?" Dusty asked Paul. "Nevermind." Paul said as he laughed even more at Dusty's lost-ness. And that's as far as I've gotten so far..did you notice in chapter 5 I added that little porn star comment from Billy? LOL I thought it was funny when that girl sent out that email about that porn star going on tour w/ GC (whether it's true or not) so I decided to put it in my fan fic hahaha! That's the only part where she's mentioned though, she doesn't make anymore appearances lol. Thank you Soni for you're fan fic! TaKe Me HoMe!!
