After the radio interview, I went to the venue to do sound check. I went through some songs with my dancers, and then had two hours to myself.
“Who wants to go shopping?” I asked once I had changed into shorts and a tank top.
“Me!” Kirsten, Brittany, and Shannon responded. None of the guys wanted to go, so I grabbed a green fisherman’s and a pair of sunglasses and we drove to the nearest mall.
“Ouh! Let’s go to Pacific Sunwear first!” I urged.
“Sure! They have cool clothes there,” Shannon agreed.
We went in, and lucky for us, there was a major sale. We went through, and I ended up buying tons of t-shirts and long sleeve shirts, and a new Roxy sweatshirt, and the others came out with at least two bags each. We went to several other stores and then sat down in the food court with fruit smoothies.
“Ay! Ay! Look at those four guys who are walking over there,” Kirsten said.
“Major hotties!” Brit commented.
“They look oddly familiar,” Shannon said.
“Look! They’re walking over here!” Kirsten whispered.
“Hey girls, can we join you?” one of the guys asked.
“Sure,” Shannon agreed. The guys pulled up chairs and sat down around the table.
“What are your names?” I asked.
“I’m Rich, and this is Devin, Brad, and my brother Eric. What about you?” the blonde nearest to me said.
“I’m Shannon, and this is Laura, Kirsten, and Brittany.”
“Just wondering, but do we know you?” Brad asked me. “We all think you look really familiar.”
“Yeah, I thought the same about you,” I wondered.
“What do you do for a living?” Devin asked.
“I’m in the entertainment business,” I replied.
“That’s it! You’re THE Laura! We saw you perform at the Grammies last year!” Brad announced fairly quietly as to not let anyone around us know who I am.
“And you’re LFO! You guys look different from the last time I saw you,” I said.
“Yeah, we’ve changed our image a little more towards prep,” Devin replied.
“So, what are you guys doing in town?” Shannon asked.
“We had some vacation time and so we came up here. You?” Rich asked.
“I’m on tour, and I have a concert tonight,” I told them.
“Really? Darn! If the concert wasn’t sold out we definitely would come,” Devin said.
“Well, if you really want to come, I have a couple extra tickets that I usually give to fans. I have ten, so I still can give some away.”
“Well, we’re definitely fans, so we’d love to come!” Rich smiled at me.
“Cool! Well, I’m going to get with my security now and give out the remaining tickets, but unless you guys want to change, you can come with us to the venue,” I said.
“Sounds good. See ya soon,” Brad agreed.
I found my security and took off my hat and sunglasses. Pretty soon I heard shouts from nearby and saw tons of people coming towards us. I found a couple girls and guys who didn’t have tickets but wanted to come, and I gave the tickets to them.
“I’m back!” I said as I got back to the group. “We need to get back to the venue.”
We walked back to the van and Shannon stopped me a little way from it.
“I gotta talk to you!” We let everyone pass by, and she started talking.
“Girl, guess who has a crush on you!” she whispered.
“Who?” I asked intrigued.
“Rich! While you were gone I asked him, and he said that you are extremely talented and gorgeous, and that he was hoping to get your number!”
“Really?” I asked. He seemed like a really cool guy, and he was pretty hot. He also knows and understands the lifestyle I live.
“I guess we’ll have to see what happens,” she giggled.
We walked to the van, and I sat next to Rich, thanks to Shan who squeezed in the back. We drove to the venue amidst light chatter.

When I got out of wardrobe and make-up and joined my dancers in the prep room, I was met with a surprise. There was a huge bouquet of two dozen roses lying on the table with my name on it.
“Come on! Read the card! We wanna know who it’s from!” Chris ordered.
I read the card and laughed.

and you’ll find your surprise!
Love,
The 10 Muskateers
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“They’re such dorks!” I laughed.
“Who are the ten muskateers?” Jason asked confused.
“I have a feeling that you’ll find out tonight,” I laughed.
