CHAPTER 43 (MEETING CELEBRITIES)


“Oooh. My. Gosh”, Jessica said as we went inside the arena.

The whole place was jammed with people of all ages. A lot of them were holding up posters like “I love you James”, “Matt Willis rocks my socks”, and “Charlie, I’m an air hostess”.

“I can’t believe I’m here”, Dougie said as his eyes scanned the arena.

I felt like my heart could burst. Busted was actually here, and I’m about to watch them!

We made our way to the front seats. We were at the spot nearest to the stage. In fact, our seats had labels such as “Reserved for Mr. Tom Fletcher”, “Reserved for Ms. Jessica Taylor”. I was pretty impressed and curious. Why would they give so much priority to us?

We all took our seats. I was happy to see that I was seated next to Danny.

I looked at Jenny. I was shocked to see a bouquet of flowers on her seat. I haven’t asked her how she got the tickets though. She only smiled when she saw the sweet gesture, like she already expected it to come.

Whoa. Was there some connection between her and Busted?

“Danny, do you know how Jenny’s connected to Busted?” I asked Danny, hoping he would know the answers.

“No. I have no idea. I’m also wondering why”, he shrugged.

“Well, let’s ask her later. I’m dying to know”.

Danny chuckled.

I looked at the rest of my companions. Dougie and Jessica were holding hands together. Suddenly, Dougie dug into his pockets and gave
her a bar of chocolate. Jessica thought that it was sweet so she gently pecked him on the cheek.

Harry and Pamela looked sweet too. They were chatting while Harry placed his arm on Pamela’s shoulder.

Nicole seemed to have a good time with a French guy who was sitting next to her. They were chatting animatedly.

I could hear Evangeline talking to Thomas on the phone. She was giggling as their conversation kept on going.

It’s like everyone’s been hit by Cupid or something. Danny and I were the only ones who didn’t have someone.

At least that’s what I thought.

Then I looked at Danny.

But then, I wouldn’t mind going out with Danny. I’d probably even be thrilled. He was so sweet and I don’t think I can ever dislike him.

I scanned the seats again. Wait. There was one empty chair. I realized that Tom wasn’t here yet.

He suddenly popped out from the crowd at our back, holding someone’s hand. I saw that it was Aloura.

Danny looked surprised too.

“Aloura? You’re here?” he asked, grinning at her.

“Of course. I took some time off to watch Busted. Good thing Tom called me”, she replied, looking very excited.

The two went to their seats. Aloura seemed to have reserved a seat for herself as well.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed. I could feel my whole body tingle. This is it! The concert’s finally starting.

A familiar voice spoke over the microphone “Hey guys!!”

The audience screamed as they recognized the voice of James Bourne. I was hopping, barely containing my excitement.

“Thanks for coming! I promise you it will be a wicked concert. Enjoy everyone!” James said.

A guitar began to play and it was followed by drums. My eyes widened as I recognized the song. It was Crashed the Wedding! We were all standing up now.

James began to sing:

“I’m so rushed off my feet,
Looking for Gordon Street.
So much I need to say
I’m sorry that it’s on her wedding day”.

The lights went back, showing the incredible trio onstage. The audience shrieked again. Matt Willis began doing his part:

“Coz she’s so right for me,
Her daddy disagrees.
He’s always hated me.
Because I never got a J-O-B”
Charlie nailed his part.
“Coz she’s mine”.
Then they all sang:
“And i’m glad i crashed the wedding,
It’s better than regretting,
I could have been a loser kid
And ran away and hid
But it's the best thing that I ever did.
Coz true love lasts forever
And now we’re back together
As if he never met her
So looking back,
I'm glad I crashed the wedding...”

The crowd was dancing to the beat of the song as the band kept on playing.

Danny and I were singing together. We got some lyrics wrong but we just laughed.

The band began playing more of their songs. The people were having such a great time. I was too. This was probably one of the best moments of my life. Nothing could ruin this.

Someone suddenly took their seat just behind us.

“Excuse me! Ow! Get out of the way!!” she yelled at one person.

Hm… Somehow, this obnoxious-sounding person seemed so familiar. But I couldn’t quite put my finger on it… The band was playing too
loudly for me to hear.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped itself around Danny. Danny flinched and turned around.

“Danny dear!!! It’s you!!” the girl squeaked.

Oh no. It was Laura.

Danny had a sour expression on his face. “Get away Laura!!”

She only giggled and hugged him tighter. “I’m so glad you’re here. Tee-hee. I just knew I had to come here!”

Danny pulled away from her. She pouted.

“Danny, what’s wrong with you? I shower you with all my love and you push me away!” she complained in a loud voice

“Laura, listen. The problem’s not you… Well, actually, it is pretty much you”, Danny replied.

Laura gasped. “What? Me? But I’m perfect!”

Danny rolled his eyes. “Anyway, I’m about to get to my point. The things is, I already like someone, okay?”

Laura’s eyes widened. She blinked a few times. All of a sudden, tears welled up in her eyes. Danny suddenly had a panicked
expression on his face.

“Um… P-Please don’t cry”, he tried to comfort her.

Laura began to bawl. She was starting to wail now too. She could barely speak in between sobs. She began wiping her tears with the
back of her hand.

“H-h-h-how c-c-c-could you? I c-c-can’t believe you”, she choked and began to storm off.

I rolled my eyes. Drama queen. She’s lucky Danny’s so nice.

Danny grabbed her arm before she could disappear. “Wait! Okay. I’m sorry. But please understand, I already like someone. I’m sorry,
okay?”

Laura sniffed. “Oh fine. But you can make it up to me. I just have one request”.

Danny gulped. This was deadly, almost like making a deal with the devil himself. He looked nervous. But knowing him, he’d probably
agree, just to show how sorry he was.

He sighed. “Fine. What is it?”

She started to calm down a bit and smile. At least she could speak properly now. “Well, we’re in Paris. So could you go out on a date with me? Specifically on Valentine’s Day”.

My jaw dropped. Obnoxious little wrench said what?

How dare she? How could she do this? And Danny has to do her a favor? I could feel my blood boil and my head giving off steam.

I was about to yell at her when Danny spoke:

“Nope. No can do”, Danny shook his head.

Laura began to pout again. “Why???”

“Because… I already have plans for Valentine’s Day. Sorry”.

She looked outraged. “Oh! Then I’ll be angry at you forever!!”

Danny rolled his eyes. “I’m perfectly fine with that”.

She began to cry again. “Oooh! I cannot believe you!! Of all the rude, unbelievable and low little…”

Busted was already playing ‘Air Hostess’. I couldn’t really enjoy the performance because of Laura’s rants. Danny looked annoyed too. I suddenly had an idea.

“THAT UNIFORM YOU’RE WEARING, SO HOT I CAN’T STOP STARING”, I sang loudly, finally drowning out Laura’s voice.

She flashed me an angry expression. “Oooh! So that’s how-“

“YOU’RE PUTTING ON AN AWESOME SHOW!!” Danny began to sing loudly too.

I grinned at him and he winked back at me.

“THE CABIN PRESSURE’S RISING. MY COKE HAS GOT NO ICE IN NOW… AIR HOSTESS!!!! I LIKE THE WAY YOU DRESS!!!!” Danny and I
practically screamed.

“Uuuugh!!” Laura said and walked away.

Danny and I chuckled. Well, at least she was gone now. we could enjoy the concert now.

We had a great time as the band played songs like ‘Falling For You’, ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’, ‘Britney’, ‘3am’, ‘Who’s David’, ‘Nerdy’,
‘What I Go To School For’, and so much more.

The band was finally about to play their final song.

“We’re going to play a favorite song of ours”, Matt grinned as he said over the microphone.

“Let’s just say it’s a futuristic one”, Charlie grinned.

The crowd cheered.

“Danny! It’s ‘Year 3000’!!” I said to Danny excitedly as I tugged on his shirt. I loved this song! I’m glad they were about to play it.

Danny laughed. “You seem excited”.

“Well, I love the song”, I grinned at him.

“So, you know what song it is?” James smiled.

The crowd shouted: “YEAR 3000!!!”

“You got that right”, Matt chuckled.

“So we’re about to play now”, Charlie said.

“Let’s go”, James urged the band.

The lights went out again. I could feel excitement gradually building up in everyone.

Suddenly, Danny held my hand.

“Getting excited?” he laughed.

“Totally”, I replied.

The band started to play their guitars. This time, there were people in alien costumes positioned onstage.

“One day when I came home at lunchtime,
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the back yard to find out if it was,
One of those rowdy boys.
Stood there with my neighbour called peter,
And a Flux Capacitor.
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I’ve seen,
Yeah yeah... He said...

I’ve been to the year three thousand
Not much has changed but they lived under water,
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is pretty fine”.

The song continued and we all danced to it. Danny and I couldn’t help but grin at each other. This was really great.

The song finally ended. Everyone had a blast. Busted said goodbye to everyone. We were sticking for a while though. We received backstage passes and we were definitely going to use them.

The crowd started going home. We waited until other people finished going backstage. Finally, it was our turn. We were the last ones to go backstage. I could feel my heart sprint as I saw James, Charlie and Matt sitting on chairs.

James looked up and grinned widely. “Jenny!!! I’m glad you could make it!”

We all looked surprised and turned our heads to Jenny. She was smiling as well. “Hey James. It’s been a while. Of course I’d come”.

We were all stunned. Jenny actually knew James Bourne??

CHAPTER 44 (CHILDHOOD MEMORIES)


Danny and I exchanged dumbstruck expressions. Is this really true? Did Jenny and James really know each other? Am I just having a dream or something? Everyone had the same reaction. Well, except for Evangeline. She looked like she already knew.

James stood up and immediately approached Jenny. He was walking fast. He looked so happy. He hugged Jenny.

“Hey. I missed you. How’s it going?” he grinned at her when he let go.

“Everything’s fine James. Aw… I’m so glad you’re having such a successful career now”, she replied.

“Aw… Thanks. I’m quite proud too”.

He smiled and looked at Tyrone, who was standing beside Jenny.

“Ah. So, you must be Tyrone right? Jenny’s current boyfriend?” he asked Tyrone in a friendly tone as he stretched out his hand.

Tyrone shook it and beamed at him. “Yup. That’s me”.

“Good. Jenny, who are all of these friends of yours?”

“Well, that’s Evangeline, in the far left. Those are Harry, Dougie, Jessica Tom and Aloura. Those twins are Nicole and Pamela. And these
two are Danny and Anthea”, Jenny introduced us.

We all smiled when she called out our names.

Danny and I smiled widely.

“I’m a huge fan”, I beamed.

James chuckled. “Thanks. So I presume that the two of you are dating?” James asked.

Danny and I exchanged looks. Probably everyone thought we were a couple.

Danny chortled. “No. We’re just really close friends”.

I nodded in agreement.

James’s eyes widened. “Really? Well, I really thought you guys were together. You just look so sweet”.

We both turned pink. This was very usual, actually. But I’ve never quite gotten used to it. I looked at Danny. He shrugged his shoulder
and grinned at me.

“Oh. By the way, I guess you know my mates over there”, James said as he pointed to Charlie and Matt.

The two began to approach us. Matt’s black hair was cut short now and Charlie’s blond hair was gelled well. Wow. They still looked
great even after the concert.

“I’m Charlie”, Charlie grinned.

“And I’m Matt”, Matt smiled.

We all said ‘Hi’ to them. This was so cool! I was so happy I got to meet my idols!

“Jenny, we’re free tomorrow and we’re going somewhere. You wanna come with us?” James asked Jenny.

I felt like the world suddenly stopped spinning. Please say yes Jenny!

Jenny smiled. “Sure James. We haven’t hung out for a while. We’d love too”.

Yes! Everyone was beaming.

James grinned. “Excellent! We’ll pick you up tomorrow at nine in the morning. Where’re you guys staying?”

“We’re staying at the Fletcher Mansion”, Jenny replied.

“Fletcher? Did I hear that right?” Matt said, very much surprised.

“Dude! At that place? Seriously?” Charlie asked.

“Yeah. Tom Fletcher’s with us”, Jenny replied, pointing to Tom.

Matt immediately went to Tom and shook his hand. “Dude, you’re filthy rich. Don’t you have a mansion in countries like Egypt, Thailand,
Denmark, Canada and even Philippines? I can’t believe I’m meeting a Fletcher. Nice to meet you dude”.

Tom could only chuckle in reply. “Er… Yeah. I’m glad to see you guys too. I’m a fan”.

“So, we have to go now I guess if we’re going to get up tomorrow”, Jenny told James.

Yeah. It was getting pretty late.

James nodded. “Sure, sure. So, we’ll see you tomorrow? Can you get home?”

“Yes and yes. Tom’ limousine’s here”, Jenny replied.

We all waved goodbye to them after asking for their autographs. I was definitely not going home without those. Jessica and I squealed
when the band signed on Jessica’s autograph book.

We walked out of the arena like happy kids who just received mountains of candies.

“Jessica, I love this day!” I squealed to her.

“I know! Simply the best!” she replied happily.

We got inside the limousine. This was such a nice day. No. That’s an understatement. It was a wicked day.

We finally arrived at Tom’s Mansion. I was dead tired. I went to my room and changed into my pajamas. I went outside to brush my
teeth. Everyone seemed to be in their rooms.

I went to the bathroom and began to brush my teeth. I was finished in a few minutes.

I suddenly heard something squeak. I placed my toothbrush in its container and turned around.

Danny was just outside the bathroom, wearing his fluffy bunny slippers. I laughed.

“Caught you Danny. You really like those, don’t you?” I chuckled.

He grinned at me. “Well, they’re comfy. You can’t argue with that.”

I shrugged. I guess he was right. I turned off the lights in the bathroom. I yawned.

“Aw… You need to go to sleep now”, he said.

I nodded. “I definitely do. Goodnight Danny”.

He smiled and nodded. All of a sudden, he kissed my cheek gently. My heart started to pound.

“Goodnight too”, he grinned and walked to his room, his slippers still squeaking.

I opened the door to my room and began lying on my bed. I pulled the blankets over me, closed my eyes, and finally drifted off to sleep.

I began to toss in my sleep. I was having such an awful dream.

I dreamt that Laura was actually m long-lost sister. She moved in with us. My parents started to like her more than me, even Kristoph
liked her more!

To make the dream even worse, I learned that I was engaged to a boy when I was a kid!

I was sitting in our living room back at home, waiting anxiously for my fiancé. I hoped he was at least decent enough.

The door swung open, revealing my parents who were beaming. Maybe my fiancé was a swell guy.

“Darling, here’s the boy”, Dad grinned at me.

“Yes. He’s absolutely charming”, my mom added.

I smiled a bit. Maybe this wasn’t such a worst case scenario after all.

All that hope vanished though when I saw the guy. The color drained from my face. Happiness was sucked out of me.

Oh my gosh! It was David Kirkby!! No!! Yuck!!

I started to cry. “M-mom! No! Please! I beg of you! Anyone but him!”

My parents only laughed. In fact, it sounded more of an evil cackle.

“Come on. Stop crying. You’ll learn to like him”, Dad said.

“Yes Anthea. Give him a chance”, Mom agreed.

I shook my head violently and started to wail “No! No! No!”

I was only dreaming, but it felt so real. I was actually waling while asleep now. I wasn’t awake from my dream yet. It was a wonder why my roomies weren’t woken up from my constant and boisterous wails. It was early in the morning, and little rays of light were passing through the windows.

The door to my room suddenly creaked open. Someone heard me crying. The person went inside my room.

It was Danny.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face but then he heard me crying. He decided to go check on me.

He looked at me with a worried expression on his face. He saw tears streaming down my cheeks. I was also whispering “No… No… No…”

“Aw Anthea. It breaks my heart to see you like this”, he whispered.

He sat on my bed, a few inches away from me. He wiped the tears from my face gently with his finger. I moved a bit, but I was still
asleep.

Danny smiled a bit. He suddenly bent his head and kissed my forehead.

“It’s okay. I’m here. You shouldn’t cry anymore”, he whispered to my ear. He also began to stroke my hair tenderly.

In my dream, I was still wailing. I can’t believe this! Why David Kirkby?? I’d rather marry a warty toad!

All of a sudden, everything evaporated. I was all alone now.

I also noticed that the scene had changed. It was night, and I was walking down the streets of Paris. I was in this gorgeous black
dress.

Sweet music was playing and the lights made the city of romance look even more romantic.

Suddenly, someone held my hand.

I whirled around and saw Danny in a suit. He looked undeniably handsome. He was holding a fragrant bouquet of roses in his hands.

He was smiling at me. “Why were you crying a while ago?”

I smiled shyly at him. “I dreamt that I got engaged to David Kirkby”.

He suddenly laughed, a wonderful trill to his voice. “Oh. No wonder. I’d probably jump off a cliff”.

I chuckled. He suddenly locked me in a sweet embrace. I looked at him, my whole body melting inside. His blue eyes looked even more
charming now, as if light was dancing in them.

“Well. You shouldn’t cry. I’m here. It’s okay. You shouldn’t cry anymore”, he whispered to me.

Unfortunately, my dream ended there. I was happy though, my nightmare turned into such a sweet ending with Danny.

I finally opened my eyes. I blinked twice, trying to shake off the drowsiness from my system. The sun was shining now, but it still
looked early.

I rolled my other side and saw a pair of legs.

I screamed and fell down from my bed as I panicked. My back immediately hit the floor.

I groaned. “Ow… Ow… Ow…”

“Anthea! I’m so sorry!” Danny apologized as he approached me.

I rubbed my back. “Oh. It’s okay Danny. I was just surprised”.

He bent down and began rubbing my back as well. “You sure?”

I stretched. My back didn’t hurt so much now. “Yup Danny. I’m fine”.

I smiled. Even after falling off my bed and landing on my back, this was still a great morning for me. I saw Danny after all. By the way, why was here?

“Danny, I’m not being rude, okay? But… um… Why are you in our room?” I asked him.

“Oh. I heard you crying. You were having a really bad dream”, he replied.

I gasped. I was actually wailing?

Well, when Laura was your long-lost sister and David was your fiancé, who wouldn’t end up in tears?

“Really? Yeah. I did have a bad dream. Was I that noisy?” I asked him.

He nodded and smiled. “Yup. You were really crying you know. I was worried”.

“Aw… Well, it was really bad”, I replied, shuddering as I recalled the dream.

“Fair enough. You were smiling in the end though. So it turned out okay?”

I replayed the last scene in my mind. “Yeah. Someone made it all better”.

I smiled. It was Danny.

He grinned. “That’s great. Let me help you get up”. He held out his hand for me to grab.

I took it and stood up. “Thanks Danny”.

I smoothed the creases on my pajamas. I grabbed a brush on a small table and began brushing my hair.

“By the way, what time is it?” I asked him.

He checked his watch. “It’s eight o’clock. They’re having breakfast already”.

No one was in our room now. I guess they all were downstairs eating breakfast.

I smiled at Danny. “Let’s go eat”.

We rushed downstairs. The smell of omelette and pancakes reached my nose. Harry could really whip up a delicious breakfast.

We reached the dining table. Everyone was still in their pajamas. Dougie looked exceptionally sleepy. He could barely keep his eyes
open when he was sitting on the chair, a hand propped under his chin. I’m guessing that Jessica forced him to wake up.

He began to look livelier though when Jessica placed a stack of pancakes in front of him. She began slicing it and started shoving it into his mouth. However, the pancake accidentally went straight to his nose, smothering it with butter.

Dougie only laughed as Jessica apologized and began wiping the butter with tissue. They looked so cute.

Harry was sitting beside Pamela. The two were having a friendly conversation and Pamela kept on laughing.

Evangeline and Nicole were playing with a small chess board. It didn’t seem fair. Evangeline was psychic for Pete’s sake. I chuckled.

Jenny and Tyrone were also busy talking with each other. Tom was on his phone again, talking with his father.

We entered the room. Everyone greeted us a good morning as we went inside.

We took a couple of pancakes, some omelette and a glass of grape juice. We sat down.

“So, what did you dream about?” Danny asked me as we began eating.

“First of all, Laura was actually my long-lost sister”, I replied.

Danny made a face. “Oh. No wonder. I’d probably jump into the Grand Canyon if that happened”.

“The worse part was David getting engaged to me”.

Danny shuddered. “No wonder. I understand now why you were crying so much”.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. He looked at it. His eyes widened and he ended the call.

“What was that about Danny?” I asked him, noticing his reaction.

“Speaking of the devil, Laura just called. I don’t want to talk to her”, he replied.

I snorted. “She’s still calling you?”

“Yeah. Like saying ‘I love you’. Ugh. It makes me sick.

Geez. This Laura was seriously starting to tick me off. She’d better stay away from Danny before I rip the hair from that incredibly
inflated head of hers.

After eating, we changed. We were at the living room now. We were waiting for Matt, Charlie and James to come.

“Jessica! I’m so excited!” I gushed to Jessica.

Her eyes sparkled. “I know! I can’t believe it!”

The clock ticked as the seconds passed by. It was quarter to nine now.

“Jenny, how do you know James?” Pamela suddenly asked Jenny.

We all turned to listen.

Jenny turned pink. “Well, we were childhood sweethearts actually”.

Everyone went “Ooh!”

“Really?” Harry asked her.

She nodded. “Yup. We were very close. It was only for a few years though.”

“So, why aren’t you guys together? No offense Tyrone”, Dougie smiled to Tyrone.

“None taken”, Tyrone smiled.

“Well, he had to move. So we just parted. And we had a little fight. That’s why. But we’re good friends now”, Jenny replied.

“Oh. I see”, Nicole nodded.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Jessica and I screamed a bit. Tom rose up to answer the door.

He opened it, and James, Charlie and Matt entered. All were grinning as they saw us.

“Let’s go”, James said, smiling.

We all went inside the limousine that was parked outside the mansion. Jessica and I kept on grinning at each other. I can’t wait to start
the trip with them. I chatted a bit with Matt while the limousine drove on the streets of Paris.

He was really cool. I really liked him. He told me a story that he once had a crush on his dance teacher. That’s why they wrote the song ‘What I Go To School For’. I laughed when I heard that.

Charlie was really great too. He kept on cracking jokes.

James was charming. He got along so well with people. He got along great with Tom, Dougie, Harry and Danny. It’s like they already
knew each other. I also noticed how close he and Jenny were, and how much he missed her.

It was obvious by the way he talked to her that he sorely missed her. He was always gentle with her and kept on being lively.

‘I hope they stay that way’, I thought to myself. It was a sweet sight after all.

Denmark, Canada and even Philippines? I can’t believe I’m meeting a Fletcher. Nice to meet you dude”.

Yeah! Philippines!!!

CHAPTER 45 (BUSTED’S PARADISE)

“Oh no. Oh no. I’m dying”, Pamela said as she furiously punched the buttons on the game machine.

Nicole, on the other hand, was smiling confidently as she swiftly hit the buttons on the machine. “Sorry sister, you’re going down”.

“Nicole’s… Obviously a game freak”, James remarked, seemingly impressed.

“I know. Look at her go”, Charlie added as he watched Nicole slowly crush Pamela’s character with combos.

Matt looked really entertained. “Go Nicole. I’m a fan of yours now”.

Nicole chuckled. Pamela only smiled. Though Pamela was losing, she didn’t seem bitter. It’s like she already
expected it.

Finally, Nicole’s character knocked Pamela’s out cold. The words ‘KO’ appeared on the screen, declaring
Nicole as the winner. Nicole looked happy. Pamela congratulated her sister. In fact, she was jumping around and
hugging her.

“Oh my gosh! You beat me! You are so amazing Nicole!” she squealed.

Aw…. They were so sweet.

Nicole chuckled. “Aw… Thanks sis”.

Harry groaned and Evangeline had a satisfied smile on her face.

“Cough it up”, Evangeline said and held out her hand.

Harry dug into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill. He placed it in Evangeline’s hand.

“Thank you”, Evangeline replied, grinning widely.

I laughed. “Harry, you should know better than to bet against Evangeline”.

Harry shrugged. “Hey, I had faith in Pamela”.

Pamela gasped and looked touched. “Aw Harry! Really?”

“Of course. I always believed that you could do anything”, he grinned at her.

Pamela hugged him tightly and gave a small peck to his cheek. “Aw… Thank you Harry!”

“They’re sweet, aren’t they?” Danny remarked.

“I know”, I agreed.

We were at this huge arcade center called ‘Gamer’s Galaxy’. There were so many gaming machines.
There were even shooting booths and basketball booths. It seems that James, Matt and Charlie loved it here. Plus, since they were here so often, the people were used to them. As if they’d find screaming girl fans here. Majority of the people here were boys anyway, so they couldn’t possibly get mobbed. I don’t mind. This place looked so cool.

Danny and I already agreed with each other that we’d try a racing game.

Nicole sat down again on the chair, and placed a token in the slot. She began selecting her character.

“So, who wants to play with me?” she asked, looking at us expectantly.

“No way”, we all replied.

“Aw… Come on”, she insisted.

“I don’t want to get my butt whooped, especially by you”, Dougie grinned at her.

Nicole kept on asking us but no one dared. She was too good. Even the guys wouldn’t take her on.

Suddenly, a stranger behind us heard what we were talking about. He said “I’ll take you on”.

We all turned our heads to the fool who tried to challenge her. Is he out of his mind?

The guy had brown hair which was neatly parted. He kind of looked like one of the Beatles. He was wearing a black jacket over his green shirt. His blue eyes were charming. I had to admit, he did look pretty cute.

Then I looked at Danny and smiled to myself.

But Danny’s way cuter.

“Thanks. I’m glad someone tried. What’s your name?” she asked him.

“Oh. I’m Aaron”, he replied, grinning at her. He kept on glancing at Nicole from time to time. If I didn’t
know better I’d say he took on Nicole to impress her. He looked like he was interested in her.

Aaron slid a token into the machine and began choosing his character as well.

The fight began to start. We all watched intently. Harry and Matt were rooting for Nicole.

Nicole was doing perfectly fine. She was beating up the guy’s character, dealing him massive blows one
after the other. The guy’s health points were practically half now. Nicole smiled confidently,

Suddenly, the guy began to hustle and delivered amazing hits. He threw combo after combo at her. Now
her life was about one-fourth.

Whoa! This guy was good!

Finally, Aaron pulverized her. Nicole lost. We all looked stumped. Was this possible?

Nicole frowned. She apparently didn’t look so happy. She rose up from her seat abruptly.

“Excuse me… Um… I need to get a drink”, she said briskly and walked away.

Ooh. Poor guy.

Aaron stood up but Nicole was already gone. “W-wait a sec! Oh man. I was supposed to impress her, not
depress her”.

Aha. My hunch was right. He was trying to get her attention.

“Don’t worry. My sister’s like that. She handled her disappointment well though. Before, she’d really throw a fit. You don’t need to worry”, Pamela assured him.

“Oh. Thanks. I hope she’ll feel better later though”, he said.

“Don’t worry. She will”.

“Wait! You’re Busted!!”

Matt, Charlie and James grinned.

“Yup”, Matt replied.

“Can I get your autograph? I’m huge fan!” Aaron exclaimed and took out a notepad and ball pen from his
pocket.

The three nodded and willingly accepted his request.

Danny suddenly tapped my shoulder. “You wanna race against me now?”

I nodded. “Sure Danny”.

We looked for a game machine that was unoccupied. We spied one and sat there. We placed a token into
the machine and started racing.

“I’m gonna beat you Danny”, I grinned.

“Not if I beat you first”, he replied.

I was turning the wheel really hard, keeping a firm grip on it. Danny and I were really battling it out now. I
wasn’t about to lose to him. Obviously, he wasn’t about to lose to me as well.

The race was getting very tense now. Danny and I were so close to the finish line. I smiled, confident
that I could beat him.

I twisted the wheel very forcefully and…

CRACK!

The wheel came off. I looked at what I did, absolutely dumbstruck.

Danny saw what I did. He burst into laughter.

I was still gaping at the wheel that I managed to rip off the machine. I tried putting it back, but all my
efforts were in vain. Danny even won the race and my car spun out of control.

I sighed and laughed as well. Danny couldn’t stop laughing. In fact, tears were streaming down his cheeks
now. He began wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.

Eventually, a security guard noticed what happened and approached us. I thought he was going to scold
me, but he only laughed. This was pretty unusual. He told us not to worry about it and that he’d fix it in a jiffy.

I thanked him. Whew. I got off easy.

Danny and I decided to roam around a bit. I’m avoiding gaming machines for the moment. I might break
them.

He was still laughing. “You’re so cute you know”.

I blushed a bit and laughed. “Aw… Thanks I guess”.

I spotted Nicole and Aaron together. Nicole seemed to be in a better mood. She was smiling again as
Aaron handed her an ice cream cone. Aw… they looked sweet.

Danny suddenly tugged on my shirt. “Hey let’s try that”.

He pointed to a toy-grabbing machine; the type where you use a joystick to grab a toy from inside the
case.

I have never grabbed a toy in those machines. It was just so hard. Well, for me it was hard.

I followed Danny as he went near one machine. I scanned the toys inside. In saw one stuffed toy that
was cute. It was a pony.

“That stuffed toy’s pretty cute”, I smiled, pointing at it.

“Oh really?” Danny asked as he slid a token into the machine.

I nodded. “Yup. It’s super cute”.

The machine began to whir into life. Danny began moving the joystick carefully, concentrating very hard. The hand inside was moving to the right. Danny slowly lowered it down. The hand finally had a firm hold on the pony stuffed toy. He pressed the button and the hand grabbed the toy.

“Whoa Danny. I can never do that”, I told him. I was really impressed. That was something that I had
never achieved before.

He smiled. He carefully controlled the hand again and dropped the stuffed toy into the hole.

The prize came out of the machine and he grabbed it.

“Wow. That was amazing Danny! Really”, I remarked as he clutched the prize.

“Nah. Not really. I’ve been doing this for years. You should see Tom. He’s amazing”, he replied.

“So, who’s the gift for?”

“Well, it’s actually for you. I got it especially for you”.

He grinned as he gave me the toy. My heart nearly stopped beating. This was so sweet. Plus the
words ‘especially for you’ managed to excite my whole body.

“Danny, thank you! This is so sweet!” I exclaimed enthusiastically as I hugged the stuffed toy.

“Well, I like seeing you happy”, he replied.

My heart really pounded now. He was such a dear!

“Really, thank you so much”, I grinned at him.

He chuckled. “Sure thing”.

We decided to go back to the rest of the gang. I saw Evangeline and Harry playing a shooting game.
They were really good. A crowd of people were watching the two fire shot after shot. Pamela and Nicole were cheering for them, with Aaron by their side.

I saw Jenny and Tyrone play ‘Soul Calibur’. Tyrone was good, and so was Jenny.

I also saw Jessica and Dougie playing basketball. They were shooting the balls into the hoops. Dougie
was definitely winning. I chuckled. Jessica doesn’t know how to play basketball.

“Wait. Jessica can’t play basketball right?” Danny said.

I nodded. “She sure can’t. But she does try”.

“Jessica!” I called to her.

She looked up and grinned. “I don’t know how to play okay? But it doesn’t mean that I can’t”.

I chuckled. “You go Jessica”.

I scanned the place for the rest of our mates. James and Matt were busy shooting zombies. Tom and
Charlie were already playing on a dancing machine. Man, they could really step their feet on the arrow pads.

“Big brother! Where are you?” a tiny voice suddenly called out.

I turned to its direction and saw a small blond girl wearing a tutu and leotards. She looked so cute. Her
curly locks bounced and her eyes were sky blue. She looked lost, and searching for her big brother. Poor kid. Maybe I should help her.

She looked at Danny. “Danny! You’re here?”

She ran towards Danny.

Danny smiled. “Hey Coleen. What’re you doing here?” He scooped the tiny creature into his arms.

“I’m looking for my big brother. My mom said that I needed to spend more time with him. Besides, I miss
him”, she smiled.

“Your big brother’s over there. He’s with his girlfriend”, he pointed towards the direction of Jessica and
Dougie.

Oh yeah. Now that I thought about it, Dougie did mention something about a little sister. So this was his little
sister.

Coleen nodded. “Thanks. You can put me down now”.

He obeyed and gently lowered her down. She immediately hopped off his arms and ran towards Dougie.
She hugged him from the back.

Dougie looked shocked and turned to see who hugged him. He smiled when he saw that it was Coleen.

“Coleen, what are you doing here squirt?” he asked playfully as he hugged her.

“Mom’s busy with work. She needed to take care of stuff”, she replied.

“What? She’s still working? I thought you two were on vacation”.

Coleen shrugged her tiny shoulders. “I though so too but I guess there was an emergency”.

Dougie nodded. I guess this was usual.

Coleen turned to her right and smiled at Jessica. “Hey Jessica! Thanks for playing dress-up with me two
weeks ago. I’m sorry I got make-up on your shirt though”.

Jessica only smiled and patted the child’s head gently. “Nah. It’s okay. Being a professional make-up
artist is hard. But I know you’ll get there”.

Coleen giggled. Aw… she was absolutely adorable.

“Anyway, why’s Coleen here?” I asked Danny.

“Oh. She’s been sent here by her school for a ballet recital. She’s very good you know”.

“Cool. That’s amazing! Does Dougie do ballet as well?”

He snorted. “The guy would rather get trapped in a cave than wear tights”.

I laughed. Aw… Too bad.

Suddenly, somebody tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was James. Charlie and Matt
were just behind him.

“Hey, you guys done now?” I asked James.

“Yup. We’re okay now. All we have to do is—“, James started to reply when he was cut off by a piercing scream.

I searched for the source of the glass-shattering scream. I found out that it came from Coleen.

Coleen was hopping now, looking so excited that her little body could barely contain her excitement.

“It’s Busted!!! They’re here!!! Oh my goodyness!!!” she squealed and ran towards James, Matt and Charlie.

The three could only chuckle as she came rushing towards them. She immediately hugged Charlie as she
got to them.

“I like you the best Charlie!!” she practically screeched as she hugged Charlie tighter.

Charlie looked like his air supply was running out. “Oof! Ah. Er… Thanks”.

James and Matt snorted. Charlie rolled his eyes and grinned.

“Can I get your autograph?? Can I?? Can I??” she asked, pulling a ballpen and notepad from her bag.

She finally let go of Charlie. Charlie looked relieved as he was finally released from Coleen’s grip.

He bent down to Coleen’s height and got the notepad and pen. He started signing it.

“Okay, so this is for whom?’ he asked Coleen.

“It’s for Princess Coleen”, she grinned.

“Okay”, he wrote that down.

“Of the Wonderland”, Coleen added.

“Uh… Okay. Of the Wonderland”, Charlie followed.

“Where ponies roam around”.

“Er… Where ponies roam around”.

“And happy bunnies give out candy”.

“Okaay. I got that”.

Danny and I snorted. Well, Charlie had to comply. Dougie’s little sister was so demanding.

Charlie finally finished scribbling down all of those and handed back Coleen’s notepad. She squealed
when she received it and proceeded to have it signed by Matt and James as well.

She looked so happy when the two finished signing it. She ran back to Dougie.

“Oh. Big brother. I nearly forgot. Can you drive me to my ballet recital today?” she requested Dougie.

Dougie shrugged. “Sure. What time is it anyway?”

“It’s at twelve o’clock today”.

“Sure. I think it’s still…”

He was cut off when he looked at his watch. His eyes widened.

“Coleen!! That’s thirty minutes away!!” he panicked.

“Jeez. We can get there. Come on, I need to go”, she replied.

Dougie looked outraged. “Coleen! You can’t expect me to get you there on time! Where’s the place anyway?”

“Oh… At this fancy hall… Um… What’s it called again?”

“What?!? You don’t know the place?? Coleen!!”

“Ow!! Stop yelling. It hurts my ears you know. I’m sorry. I totally forgot”.

“Jeez Coleen. I can’t believe you. You expect people to just give you what you want. I’m not a wizard for
crying out loud!”

“But big brother! Okay! I’m sorry. But I really need to go. Can’t you figure it out?”

“I’m sorry. I don’t even know the place”.

Suddenly, Dougie’s phone rang. He immediately answered it. “Hello? Oh mom. Why are you crying?”

Coleen suddenly winced and hid behind Charlie. What is up with her?

“What? She snuck out of the hotel?” Dougie asked, surprised.

I exchanged looks with Danny. So that’s why Coleen looked guilty.

“Mom, it’s okay now. She’s here. I’m with her. She’s not hurt or anything. She’s fine. Mom, where’s her ballet recital supposed to be?” Dougie said.

He listened for his mom’s reply. He nodded and ended the call.

“Coleen, you have a lot of explaining to do. But I have to get you to your ballet recital first. It’s in the
Sanford School of Ballet”, Dougie announced.

“Oh. That place’s not too far from here. About… a 25-minute drive”, James replied.

“Oh man. But there’s only twenty minutes left!” Dougie said, a worried expression on his face.

“Hm… I think our driver can do that. He used to be a race car driver you know”, Matt said.

“Well, let’s go anyway. We can’t waste any time. Nicole and the rest are here. Charlie, tell them to come
now”, James told Charlie.

Charlie proceeded to tell Nicole and the rest.

Coleen was starting to cry. She kept on wiping her tears with the back of her hand..

“I-I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do it… I’m such a brat”, she choked.

Dougie bent down and patted her head. “It’s okay Coleen. Don’t do it next time, okay?”

She nodded and began rubbing her eyes. “O-okay”.

Dougie began cradling her in his arms gently. Charlie and the rest were coming now. “Let’s go Coleen”.

We all hopped into the limousine.

“Terry, drive fast”, James requested the driver in front.

The man smiled. “Sure thing. It’s been years since I’ve driven fast”.

Awwww. Pamela's really sweet
LOL Nicole's really a tough gal.
Hahahahahahahaha Anthea's wheel came off!!

“Well, I like seeing you happy”, he replied.

Thanks again for the comment!

CHAPTER 46 (CONFESSION 2)


We finally got out of the limousine. I could feel my whole world spinning and I felt like I couldn’t keep my balance anymore.

The driver was like a speed devil! His turns were abrupt and quick. His driving speed was… Well… Out of this world. My body felt like it was being pulled in different directions, just like taffy. I seriously thought that the car would eventually swivel out of control.

James, Matt and Charlie looked like they were used to such demonic driving though. They were all wearing disguises.

We walked towards the school. I was still feeling dizzy. James thanked Terry and walked with us.

I had a hard time walking and my feet kind of twisted at times. I felt like I could go cross-eyed.

I walked for a bit, but then I lost balance and eventually slipped.

Luckily, a pair of hands caught me. “Oof! Oh. Thanks!” I said dizzily.

Thank God someone caught me. I looked up to see who managed to stop me from falling.

Oh my. It was Danny.

My cheeks flushed. He was always saving me from my accidents. Sometimes, he was even getting hurt in the process.

He was grinning at me. Gosh I felt my cheeks flush even more and my heart going thump against my chest.

“Hey take it easy. We wouldn’t want you getting hurt, okay?” he smiled at me.

I nodded, my heart still pounding. “Th-thanks Danny”.

He finally let go of me. I tried being more careful now. I could walk better now. But somehow, I felt even dizzier.

I was practically staring at the surroundings. There were huge rows of trees along the road and the main building was monumental. Beautiful flowers were abundant in the gardens and there were even fountains. This place was jaw-droppingly fabulous. This was a student’s paradise.

“Coleen, do you know where the hall is?” Dougie asked Coleen as she trotted behind him.

Coleen looked around. “Um… Over there”. She pointed to a hall to the far right.

Dougie nodded. “We still have time. About ten minutes”.

We rushed towards the hall. Terry got here in about ten minutes. Well, judging by the speed it was inevitable that we would arrive early.







We were seated inside the hall. It was nearly full as more people entered the place. It was very big, and the stage was big as well. The red curtains onstage were still closed.

Dougie was at the backstage, checking if Coleen’s recital was about to go well.

A woman began giving out playbills. I flipped one open and grinned when I saw the title of the play.

“Danny, look. They’re about to play ‘Snow White’” I grinned to Danny.

Snow White has been one of my favorite stories. For me, it meant more than just a princess waiting for her Prince to come. It meant waiting for true love. That’s why I loved the story. Plus, I thought that the Seven Dwarves were cute. For some odd, inexplicable reason, I always favored Grumpy above the rest.

He took a look at the playbill as well. “Whoa. That’s nice”.

“You know. I’ve always wanted to be Snow White”.

“Oh? How come?”

“I don’t know. I just find the story really sweet you know. Plus, isn’t it so romantic? I mean, really waiting for the time that the one
you love will really come. It’s just really nice you know”.

Danny chuckled. “I feel the exact same way”.

“Really Danny?”

“Yeah. For me, it’s all right to wait. I mean, it’s ‘better late than never’ right? Well, I guess the better saying’s better never late. But still. I just think there’s a moment for everything”.

I smiled. Yeah. There always was. And I couldn’t help but look forward to the day that I’d finally tell Danny how I felt about him.

“Yeah Danny. There’s no need to rush”.

The lights began to dim down. The play was probably about to start. I was excited to watch.

Hm… All that waiting bit in Snow White made an idea pop into my mind. I looked at Danny.

“Danny, about that girl that you like, have you told her how you feel?” I asked him. After all, he’s probably been waiting for so many
months.

It’s alright if it wasn’t me though.

Danny chuckled. “Actually, I haven’t told her yet”.

“Oh? You’re pulling my leg”.

“No. Seriously. I haven’t told her”.

“Have you tried?”

“Yeah I have. But there were… Er… Certain interruptions.”

“Aw Danny…”

“But I really will tell her you know. I’ve been bottling up these feelings for a while”.

I chuckled. “It’s not just a while Danny. It’s been ages”.

“Yeah. I guess so. I’ll try again though”.

“When are you gonna tell her then?”

There was a momentary pause, and a smile stretched across his face.

“Soon. Very soon”, he replied.

I had a new found respect for Danny after having this conversation. He wasn’t like most guys who got all flirty with girls. He takes
his time and waits for the right moment. He charms a girl through his wonderful personality and sincerity.

The girl was so lucky. I’m hoping that it’s me… But then, I shouldn’t have hopes that are too high. Even if I’m not the girl. Besides,
he might like a girl who was really posh, model pretty and highly intelligent.

Then again, I’m not going down without a fight. If the girl doesn’t turn out to be such a good girl, I am definitely intervening. I don’t want Danny to get hurt.

A woman with a hook-shaped nose and short brown hair walked up to the podium on the left wing of the stage. A spotlight was focused on her.

“Hello everyone. It is an honor to have you all here to witness the 15th Children Ballet here in Paris. Children all over the world are going to dazzle you with their graceful moves and smooth precision of movements. So sit back and relax. The play will start in a few minutes”, she announced and smiled.

Suddenly, someone popped out from the right wing. She began whispering something to the woman. The woman’s smile immediately evaporated and she hurried backstage.

That was weird. It seems that chaos has stirred up.

“Jessica, what’s up with that?” I asked Jessica who was just beside me.

She shrugged her shoulders. “I have no clue as well”.

We heard some noise from backstage. The audience was starting to look confused.

I looked to my right. I saw Evangeline looking dazed. It must be another vision.

“Evangeline, you okay?” I asked her.

She snapped back into reality. “I’m fine… I think you, Danny, Charlie, Matt and James need to go backstage”, she replied.

I looked at her, a puzzled expression on her face. “How come?”

“Trust me. I think they need you guys desperately”.

She was right though when Coleen suddenly ran to the front of the stage and walked to the podium. She lowered the microphone.

“Um… James, Charlie, Matt, Danny and Anthea? Can you go here backstage?” she requested.

Danny looked surprised but nevertheless stood up. “Come on Anthea. I really think they need us”.

I nodded and followed him as well. James, Charlie and Matt seemed to have stood up as well. We went to the backstage and a
woman gave us directions.

Hm… I wonder what this request was.

“This costume’s freakin’ itchy!” Matt complained as he scratched his back.

James chuckled at him. “What? You think you’re the only one? I feel like ants are crawling all over me”.

“Come on guys. This won’t take much time. We’ll only be onstage for a bit”, Charlie reasoned out.

James pouted. “Still. I wish I could burn this costume! Darn it”.

Danny and I were red now. We were trying to contain our laughter. However, the three looked so funny. I don’t think I can keep this
up anymore.

I was the one who gave in first. I finally burst into laughter. Danny followed, losing all control. We were howling with laughter.

The three rolled their eyes at us. We grinned widely at them.

So this was the request. Those who were supposed to play as Snow White’s animals couldn’t come today. There was a little accident
along the road. So, these three filled in their parts. And guess what? They were rabbits.

So, you basically can’t blame us for laughing so hard. I mean, who wouldn’t?

Danny and I were waiting for our costumes. We guessed that we were going to be animals as well.

I looked at the three again, a smile on my face. Their rabbit costumes were so cute! Especially the ears! I giggled. But their costumes sure looked itchy. Matt was really scratching his back.

A girl with blond hair came into the backstage. She was holding a prince and princess costume.

It must be for Snow White and her Prince, obviously. Where were our animal costumes though?

To my surprise, she approached Danny and me. She was grinning at us, appearing very relieved. “Hey, thanks for filling in for Snow White and her Prince. We owe you one. Come on. Put these on”.

She gave the costumes to us.

What? We were the main cast?

I stared at my costume and sighed. Oh well. There wasn’t anything we could do, and they did need our help.

“Break a leg guys. You’ll need luck. Kate Waldorf’s here”, the girl said.

“What?? Kate Waldorf?? What’s she doing here?” I asked.

This was big. No. Gigantic. Kate Waldorf was a famous French teenage actress. She’s got tons of movies for crying out loud. But what’s she doing here?

“Well, she used to go to school here. Plus, she’s a ballerina. So she loves ballet and she loves the performances here”, the girl explained.

“Oh. I see”, Danny nodded.

“Anyway, please get changed okay? I’m sure you could do well. The script’s there. It’s sure and you can ad lib”, the girl said and walked away.

For some reason, Matt and James were grinning widely at Charlie.

“Hear that Charlie?” James smiled.

“Yeah. Kate Waldorf’s here. Isn’t that nice?” Matt snickered.

Charlie slapped the back of their heads. He was blushing furiously.

James and Matt only howled with laughter.

Danny laughed. “Charlie, do you have a crush on Kate Walfdorf or something?”

Charlie shook his head violently. Though he was denying it, it was obvious that his flushed face told quite the opposite. “N-no. Yeah she’s cool. But she’s… Er… Not my type”.

Matt snorted. “Oh yeah? Then how do you explain all those posters of her in your room? I swear, her face is like your room’s wallpaper”.

James gave a high-five to Matt and chuckled. “I know! Even your laptop’s full of her pictures”.

Charlie flashed them a dumbstruck expression. “What?? How the heck did you see those? My laptop has a password!”

Matt grinned. “Sorry dude. We hacked it. It only took us an hour anyway”.

Charlie groaned and buried his face into his hands.

I chuckled. “Aw Charlie. It’s okay. I understand fans who are obsessed as you. I won’t leak it to the press”.

“Yeah. Our lips are sealed”, Danny added.

James and Matt groaned.

“Aw… Why’d you have to be so nice?” Matt pouted.

“Yeah. You could’ve blackmailed him instead”, James agreed.

Charlie laughed. “They’re good people. That’s why. Anyway, why don’t you change now? The play’s about to start”.

I felt like a stone suddenly dropped on my head. ‘Oh yeah. Let’s go”.

I hastily grabbed my costume and rushed to the dressing room. Whew. Thank goodness this costume was easy to put on. I fixed my hair and placed a red headband on my head. Well, I think I look alright now. I wondered how Danny might look.

I imagined him in a suit. As always, he’d look gorgeous. I giggled.

I folded my clothes, placed them in my bag and walked out the dressing room.

This is it. I hope I don’t screw this up. After all, a celebrity was watching.






“Okay. Is everyone ready? Hey, you. Stop talking and listen to me. I’m sure you all know your lines?” a woman with platinum blond hair and horn-rimmed glasses asked. Apparently, she looked like the director of this presentation.

“Yes”, everyone said in chorus.

She nodded. “Good. Good. Now… Um… Snow White? You can make your own lines right? It doesn’t have to be what’s in the script. I mean, you’ve just arrived here and I can’t possibly expect you to get everything. You know the story right dear?” she asked.

I nodded. “Yes. I have no problem with that”.

She nodded, her glasses slowly slipping from her nose. She pushed it back with her pointer finger. She began inspecting the other cast.

To be honest, I didn’t feel so good. I must be getting pre-play jitters. Okay. Calm down. Everything’s going to go smoothly. You don’t have to worry.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I was still shaking a bit.

Suddenly a pair of arms placed themselves on my shoulders. I turned around and saw Danny.

Gosh he looked handsome in the Prince suit. His hair was neatly fixed. I could see his blue eyes shimmer. My heart skipped a beat again.

“Hey, you’re shaking”, he asked, a small smile on his face.

“Er… Yeah. I’m nervous”, I replied, laughing nervously. My hands were still shaking.

Oh who am I kidding? I’m a nervous wreck right now! I mean, I can’t even stop myself from shaking!

Danny laughed. “Anthea, don’t be nervous. Love what you do. That’s the best way to get rid of the nerves”.

I thought about it. Acting was something that I definitely loved.

I sighed. I’ve been an idiot. If it’s something I love, why am I so nervous? I should enjoy what I do.

I nodded, finally calming down a bit. My hands stopped shaking and I didn’t feel so clammy anymore.

“You’re right. Thanks a lot”, I smiled at him.

“No problem. Anyway, I’m here for you okay? I won’t let anything bad happen to you”, he assured me.

I turned pink. “Oh Danny. Thanks so much. I don’t feel so nervous now because of you. Thanks for being here with me”.

He looked touched and smiled back at me. I looked into his eyes. There was that different look again. That’s the look that made me feel so secure inside.

All of a sudden, he placed his right hand on my cheek. My whole body felt like it erupted, and lava and ashes were spewing all over the place.

Danny looked at me with such an intense gaze. “Anthea, I’ve been meaning to tell you something for a long time. I just couldn’t find the right time, you know. And there were a lot of interruptions. But… I think I can tell you now”.

His body suddenly inched closer to mine. His hand was still on my cheek. My heart raced even faster.

I wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out. Maybe it was better if I remained silent.

“Well Anthea. You’re really the girl that I’ve been going cra—“, he said but a scream suddenly rang throughout the backstage, interrupting him.

Danny stopped, surprised by the interruption. Suddenly, a tiny blond-haired creature jumped on his back, placing its arms around his neck.

“Danny! You look so handsome!” the thing squealed.

It was actually Coleen. She was in her pink ballet costume already. Her hair was tied into two pigtails and flowers adorned her hair.

“Er… Hey Coleen”, Danny greeted her. He looked… I don’t know. Sort of disappointed?

He must be. He looked so serious a while ago. After all, he’s made a lot of attempts.

“Sorry I screamed. Charlie just told me that I looked cute”, she said happily and giggled.

Danny and I chuckled. Oh. No wonder she screamed.

“Hey Danny, do you think Charlie’ll ask me out?” she giggled

Danny smiled. “Sure Coleen. He’ll probably love that”.

She smiled even more. “Thanks. Whoa. I’d better go now. The play’s about to start”.

She hopped off his back, landing nimbly on her feet. “Break a leg you guys”.

The she ran off. She was right. We’d better get ready now.

But I still haven’t heard what Danny was about to say to me, and I sure wanted to know.

“Danny, what were you about to tell me?” I asked him.

He looked like he was about to tell me, but then something seemed to stop him.

“I’ll… Tell you later”, he smiled gently.

“Oh. Okay. You promise?” I asked him.

He smiled and held up his pinky. “I promise”.

I laughed and did the pinky swear with him. He was so cute. It simply melts my heart.

Suddenly, the woman with horn-rimmed glasses made a beeline for me.

“Snow White. We’re starting now. get on stage now”, she instructed me.

I took in a deep breath. Okay. This is it. I hope I do my part well. I hope I don’t make a fool of myself in front of an actress.

Danny held my hand. I looked at him. He had such a comforting aura around him. “You’ll do well. Besides, you look so pretty now. It’s like you were born for the role. Don’t worry. Love what you do”.

I smiled, despite feeling nervous. He was right. “Thanks Danny. I’m fine now. Really. Thank you so much”.

“Aw… Thanks so much. Well, you’d better go out there now”.

I nodded. “Okay Danny. Break a leg”.

I walked away, feeling much better than before. I didn’t feel so nervous now, after having the little chat with him.

But then, I was still thinking about what he was about to say to me. He looked really serious.

Plus, the way he moved meant something. The way he placed his hand on my cheek and how he inched his body closer to mine…

I was finally onstage. Countless pairs of eyes were all focused on me. I wonder if Kate Waldorf was here now.

Okay. Focus. Danny would tell me later, right? So, I need to concentrate on my act now.

I saw Evangeline, Pamela, Harry, Tom, Nicole, Jenny and Tyrone wave at me from their seats below. I grinned.

Okay. I’ve got nothing to worry about now.






I watched little children in ballerina costumes dance gracefully as I sat on a stone prop. Their movements were totally amazing despite of their young age.

I finally spotted Coleen. It was easy, considering how bright her hair color was. She was in the middle, grinning widely. She moved so wonderfully.

I was kind of envious. I never did learn how to dance. I have poor bodily coordination. I’m going to try learning it though.

Finally, the dance finished. Every girl exited, except for Coleen. Wow. She must have a few lines.

“And so, Snow White wasn’t lost anymore. She managed to go to the cottage of the Seven Dwarves and made friends with all the animals”, she recited and trotted away.

I rose from the stone prop, my back erect. Suddenly, James, Matt and Charlie appeared with their goofy rabbit costumes.

I felt like suffocating. I seriously wanted to laugh at the three, but I had to hold it in.

“Hey Snow White! Er… What’s up?” James asked.

I stared at him, a horrified expression on my face. He wasn’t supposed to be friendly! He was a meek animal creature for heaven’s sake!

“Hey Charlie, Kate Waldorf’s here”, Matt said, a little too loudly so that it echoed throughout the hall.

The audience burst into laughter. I spotted Kate Waldorf from the crowd. Thankfully, she was laughing as well. She even looked entertained.

Charlie was red now. “Aw… Stop it! Anyway, Snow White, we’ll help you get to the cottage”.

I nodded. “Lead the way, woodland creatures”.

We walked to the right of the stage towards a small cottage.

“Charlie, when are you going to remove all of those Kate Waldorf posters from your room?” James asked.

Charlie slapped his head. The crowd laughed even more.

I giggled a bit. These guys are so hilarious. I’ll run out of air supply soon if I keep on hanging out with them.

We went to the cottage and proceeded with the play. Luckily, there were no more unnecessary comments from the three. I could finally focus on what I was supposed to do.

My eyes were closed as I was lying on a coffin in the center of the stage.

Whoa. So this is how it feels like being inside one. It kind of feels creepy.

Ballet music reached my ears again. The ballerinas danced around me, throwing flowers and singing.

We were at the end of the play now. I’ve already bitten the poisonous apple, and I’m supposed to be in eternal slumber.

Until my Prince comes though.

I smiled a bit to myself. I was about to see Danny. I was excited for the moment that he would come out.

The song ended, and the wonderful ballerinas exited the stage.

The lights went out once more. A spotlight shone and focused on someone as the person emerged from the right wing of the stage.

The person spoke. My heart began to pound again.

It was Danny.

“My, my. So this is the place where a fair maiden has been sleeping”, he recited.

I heard a few girls from the audience squeal.

Danny walked closer to me; I could finally see him from the place where he was.

“Here’s the fair maiden. She is quite beautiful. Hair as dark as night, lips as red as blood and skin as white as the falling snow. She’s asleep though. Still, I feel that she is the one”, he said dramatically and even stroked my hair. I nearly squealed. My cheeks were on fire again.

Even though he was acting, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that what he was saying was true. It’s a small distinction, but it didn’t feel like it was just mere acting. Something about his words rang true. Plus, the way he expressed himself sent shivers through my body.

He bent over me, a few inches away from my face. I felt so tense now. I can’t believe how nervous he made me.

“Maybe a kiss will wake her from this slumber”, he said and kissed my cheek gently.

Now I was really burning up. His kiss on my cheek was so tender and gentle, it freaks me out.

However, what he whispered to my ear was even more shocking.

“Anthea, I’m glad I can finally tell you what I’ve always wanted you to know”, he said gently, low enough for only me to hear.

I saw him smile the sweetest smile he’s ever had on his face.

“Anthea, I’m in love with you”, he whispered.

I felt like the whole world suddenly crashed down. I couldn’t feel the coffin anymore either. I was just too stunned.

Was this true? Was I dreaming? Was this just a prank?

My eyes widened and I was so speechless. My heart felt like a car driving at the speed light.

Danny must’ve noticed my expression because he suddenly laughed a bit.

“I know the timing’s kind of off, but I was afraid I’d never get another chance. And no, this is not a dream or a prank. I really am in love with you. I’ve loved you for so long. You’ve always been the girl that I’ve been talking about”, he whispered again.

I couldn’t move a muscle. I was still letting the words sink in. I just couldn’t believe it.

“Anthea, er… Your lines please?” Danny whispered.

I finally snapped back into reality. Oh yeah! I nearly forgot about the play!

Why did I get so daze? Kate Waldorf’s watching for Pete’s sake!

I slowly rose up, trying my best to hide my shock, and the fact that I was shaking now.

“My dear Prince, you have awakened me from my slumber. You really are my true love”, I recited, my voice slightly shaking.

He smiled and held my hand. “Shall we go, fair Princess?”

I took his hand slowly and hopped off the coffin. My hands were still shaking a bit. In fact, they were a bit clammy.

Music began to fill the hall again. This signaled the ending part of the play.

The ballerinas came out again with baskets filled with petals. They threw the petals while dancing.

“What a glorious day!” Matt suddenly said.

Danny and I turned to look at him. He was with James and Charlie. They suddenly emerged from the left wing, with their rabbit costumes once again.

I nearly laughed, but I fortunately managed to contain my laughter. I can’t just let it out now when the play was going so smoothly.

That was the first thing that calmed my nerves. I felt better now. I looked at Danny, he winked back.

I felt so happy now. I never expected that this would ever happen. Even if I was hoping for a moment like this. I can’t believe it. My joy was overflowing.

If Danny told me his feelings, I should definitely let him know that I felt the same way.

“The Princess is awake! Thanks to you. Thank you”, James grinned at Danny.

Aw… He looked so cute in the rabbit costume. I should take a picture of them.

“So, you going somewhere?” Charlie asked Danny.

“As a matter of fact, yes. Dear Princess, will you marry me and live with me in my kingdom? I will always love you and make you happy”, he recited perfectly.

I smiled. “Yes dear Prince. I couldn’t be more happy”.

The narrator began to speak again: “And so, this tale ends as Snow White marries the Prince. And they lived happily ever after”.

The audience stood up and clapped their hands.

We bowed and curtsied. I looked downwards and saw Nicole and the rest beaming at us. They looked so proud, and that made me feel good.

I heard Matt singing ‘Crashed the Wedding’, he was a bit close to the microphone. I grinned at him.

I turned to look at Danny, he was grinning widely. I still can’t believe what he said.

Okay. I’m going to tell him now.

“Danny… About what you said…” I began to say.

“Yes?” he asked.

“I… I feel th—“, I started to say when a girl from the audience screamed.

“Oh my gosh!! It’s Matt Willis!!” she squealed.


Oh no. This can’t be good.

The crowd fell silent, and then more girls screamed.

“OH MY GOSH!!! BUSTED!!!” they all screamed.

All of a sudden, the crazy fans invaded the stage. They all ran towards Matt, Charlie and James. The three panicked and tried evading the insane stampede.

Gosh they were so many! I was even being pushed by one fan.

“Get out of my way!!!” she yelled at me and pushed me.

“Ow!” I complained.

Disrespectful much? Jeez. But she kept on pushing me. All of a sudden, she pushed me so forcefully. I lost my balance and tripped. I saw Danny yelling “Anthea!’ and running to catch me.

But then, my head hit the coffin hard. After that, everything went black.
