Kassie was called in the back to were the owners office is, she hands her the money. Kassie counts it in her head. "Thank you for having me here at your restaurant," she saids. The owner laughs "anytime kassie!" They shake hands and she walks out of the office with the money. She gets out, people eating, kissing, talking all around the restaurant. She spots lavern talking to some band and laughing with them. Kassie walks over with confusion. She taps laverns shoulder. Lavern turns around with tears in her eyes from laughing to hard. She wipes her tears. "Kassie meet these awesome people!" She says, Lavern wraps her arms around Kassies shoulders and pushes her to them. "Dante, Tom, and Bruce!" Lavern yells. Kassie waves nervously at the three and looks at Lavern still confused what is happening. "And these fine gentlemen Are our new band members!" Lavern tells Kassie. Kassie looks at Lavern shocked. The three men smiled. "Lavern can I talk to you real fast?" Kassie says while grabbing laverns hand. She pulls Lavern to the side. "You never told me?" "What we need more money to play at other places!" Lavern says. "Come on Lavern you know I don't like band mates!"
"Oh Kassie please!"
Kassie starts to sweat and get nervous, bites her nails, touch her hair. Lavern slaps Kassies hands from butting her nails "come on Kassie or will be fun!" She explains. Kassie hesitates. "Yea..your right" Kassie replies. Laverns smiles at kassie and walks off to the table we're the new members we're hanging off at. Lavern yells "everyone let's celebrate our new band members!"
A few moments later, Kassie getting to know them better made it comfortable by them. A photographer comes up to the gang. "Say new band members!" He yells. They all yell "band members!" The light flashes. Hurting Kassies eyes. Lavern idea wasn't the smartest to get these guys but Kassie couldn't go anywhere withought her cousin. It was next morning. Back at New York the newspaper were shipped in and took off at around the world. Mr. fortieth takes a look at the newspaper and sees the photo of Kassie,Lavern and the new band members sitting down at a restaurant. Mr fortieth was confused. He calls his assistant. "Mrs. Baylor" he announced. She walks over. "Who are these three gentlemen with Kassie and her cousin?"
"That's the band members, they just became one yesterday" she says.
Over two months, newspapers have been sent around the world saying that Kassie and the band was traveling to Ohio, Indiana, and to Illinois. Kassies birthday passed, her being 15 now was hard, but only staying 15 until next year, People that went to go see Kassie and Tom sing says that "Kassie and Tom have the highest notes! She's so pretty with Tom! When will the release songs?" People say. Kassie crumbles the news paper and throws it in the trash. The boys loud music stumbles to Kassies room. She sighs. She puts her head on the desk, Lavern runs in on the phone. "Yes we will be there!" Lavern yells. Kassie turns around and sees Lavern. Lavern hangs up and grabs the packed bags right by the bed. "We ready to hit the road baby cousin?" Lavern says. "Yea were Are we heading?.." she says in a low voice, she walks past Lavern. "Heading to Iowa for a gig there!" Kassie packs up her makeup and her clothes. "We have to be there right in the morning"
The guys open the door, Kassie jumps and sees Tom wave at her and walks to Lavern. "We got our equipment and luggage in the car manager!" He says. Kassie mouth opens slowly. The guys run outside. Kassie walks out disturb with Lavern. She hops in the car with no hesitation throwing the bags in the back. The boys talk loud in the back. "Hey yo Kassie" says Bruce. "How much do we get the money for all of this racket." Kassie looks at him. "About 500 for all of we do good." She explains. The boys jump around in the car with excitement, hitting there backs. Lavern runs in and drops her bag inside the car and hops in. "Y'all ready to hit the road!" She screams. They All yell yes and drive off to Iowa. Mr fortieth team goes around the coast to find Kassie and Lavern to work with me fortieth, but traveling wasn't the best for the team. "Why is he making us do this!" One of the guy shouts. "We are Never gonna find her anyways." The team thinks again. Rubbing there heads with embarrassment. "We are getting paid for this come on guys we are close to the area." They continue to drive faster. It was about to be sundown. Kassie looking out the window seeing the sun. Soon she finds a nice green, flower lake. "Lavern stop!" Kassie yells. Lavern stops the car and Kassie runs out in a hurry. She takes off her socks and shoes and runs in the grass. Waving her arms up in the air. The rest of the band comes out of the car and sees Kassie running to the water dipping her feet in. She kicks the water and laughs. Lavern watches her cousin do what she loves most.
They got a hotel room, the boys get there own room together and Kassie and Lavern have there own room together. They grabbed all there stuff and lead it to there hotel rooms. "Hey Kassie" Tom says. Kassie turns around. "I hope you have goodnight sleep and make sure none disappears!" He says. Kassie was confused what the last part he says. "Uh goodnight to you Tom." Kassie backs up walking into her hotel room. She closes the door with confusion about toms meaning. Kassie walks over to her bag and pokes inside to fake out the map she had. She walks over to the left side of the bed and takes a look at the map. They were close to California. Lavern walks out with the money and puts it right in the bag. "Why are you so exited?" Lavern says. "We are close to United States!" She yells. "So that's we're you wanted to go for this whole ride?"
"Yep I want to go to Los Angeles!"
"Why so?"
"Cause Los Angeles is we're you get popular!" Kassie explains. Kassie looks at the paper then she over thinks. "Hey how long are we gonna stay a band for?" Kassie says.
"For a long time!" Lavern explains. Kassie hesitates. Lavern climbs into the bed. "Get some sleep Kassie" Lavern whispers. Kassie puts down the map and goes straight to sleep for the gig tomorrow. Tons vocals hit the microphone. "Oh Kassie your definition of love!" He sings to her. "Oh Tom, or the definition of love" tom grabs Kassies hand and spins her around. Kassie starts to sweat. "Ohh you make me flutter in the sky just like you always do all the time, never stop till I say so.." Kassie gets dizzy. "Never stop till it's gone" they both sing. The song ends. The whole restaurant claps. Kassie heavy breaths. Tom gives her a stinky eye. The Curtains close on both of them. Lavern runs and hugs Kassie. "You did great!" Lavern says. She laughs and hugs more. The boys come. "Where's our payment." Tom says. Lavern takes the 3,000 out of her pocket. Tom snatched the money out of her hands and runs off with it, the boys follow. Lavern freezes. "Learn how to get good people not stealers Haha" Bruce laughs while running. Lavern cries slowly. Kassie turns and sees Lavern and hugs her. "It's okay we can earn it back to get to United States" Kassie explains. Lavern still stays in shock and doesn't move. Her feelings mixed with emotions leaving her frozen.
