You:you are a 25 year old road manager for bands. You are 5'10", 160 lbs with shoulder length hair of the darkest shade of auburn and brown/green eyes depending on your mood.
Amber:your best friend for years. 24 year old Archeological photojournalist. 5'9", 155 lbs, hair just slightly shorter than yours, black with blue chunks and brown eyes.
You both live in LA where our story begins.
rock on.
You are standing at the bar of a popular local club with Amber. You just finished hearing MCR play and are now dancing to the deep sounds of The Used. You start to turn around to get your drink refilled when you are slammed into by a mass of human, spilling your ice down the front of you (but not down your shirt). You gasp in shock and turn, angry, to confront your "attacker". You spin around to see the sweaty, beat red beauty that is Gerard Way. He is smiling and breathing heavily.
"Sorry about that." he says.
"No problem. Great set, by the way." you answer slightly awestruck.
"Thanks" he winks at you, grabs the 5 bottles of water from the bartender and walks off back stage.
Amber grabs your arm, "Oh my GOD! That was Gerard!!"
"Yeah....I noticed." You answer still looking off in the direction Gerard walked.
Well, ok.
Ten minutes later a slightly chubby roadie comes up to you, hands you something and walks off. Slightly confussed you look into your hand and see a small crumpled peice of paper. Looking to Amber you open it and read the hand-written note;
Sorry about the ice. Please, come back stage so I can make it up to you. Bring your friend.
-G-
You show the note to Amber who just about faints, "We are going to meet My Chemical Romance AND The Used!!!!!!!" she squeals.
You grab your drink and head back stage. While you are almost jumping out of your skin, you are hiding your excitement a bit better than Amber, who seems about ready to go into hysterics. Even though you have been a band manager since you were in high school you still tend to get those rare bands that just blow you away and you still get the school girl excitement when you get the chance to be around them. My Chemical Romance just happens to be one of those rare bands.
When you get to the lounge area door you stop and take a breath to stop your heart from visibly beating through your chest. Finally composed, you open the door and slowly slink into the room. Looking around, everyone is having a good time and doesn't really notice you and Amber walk in. You scan the room for Gerard with no luck. Going to the next nearest person you find a short man with oddly shaped black ad red hair and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around and it is none other than Frank Iero.
"Hey, I got this note from Gerard. Have you seen him?" you ask.
Looking around, "He probably went to the john, hang out, give him a minute. I'm Frank."
"We know who you are. We love you guys! I'm Shannon and this is my best friend Amber."
He offers his hand to you both. After shaking hands all around he says, "Nice to meet you."
"Hi." Amber manages to chirp, starting at each band member in turn.
"Come on, let's meet everyone while you wait." Frank says walking off across the room. "Hey guys, these are Gerards new friends, Shannon and Amber." turning to the two of you, "This is Jeph, Brandon, Quinn and Bert. They are The Used."
"So what got you two suckered into this mad house?" Bert asked.
"Gerard knocked a glass of ice on me." you reply.
"Fuckin' klutz. So what do you guys do?"
"I'm a photojournalist." Amber said proudly.
"Oh no!!!" Bert laughs.
"No,no. Don't worry, I'm just I fan. I don't cover this sort of thing." Amber explains with a coy smile.
"You want to meet everyone else?" Frank chimes in.
"Yeah, of course!" you answer excitedly.
"Hey, Amber, after you get done making the rounds why don't you come on back over here. I'd like to find out what exactly it is that you cover. And I have always been interested in photography. That is if you don't mind talking shop on your day off?" Bert asked before you all walked off.
"Sure, of course!" Amber smiled and followed you and Frank.
Wow, I just met The Used!
