CHAPTER 1:

“Mornin' Sunshine!” Taylor screamed into my cell phone at 4AM. I hated being woken up at the “crack of my a** o'clock” ... even for work. “I know you hate hearing from me this early in the morning... but... we are bringing them in a day early. Turns out the flights from Berlin are being monitored from the fangirls. We have got to send them a day early your way... to make sure they get through. I am placing you head of the security team. And Oh... BTW... I am sending them to YOUR house while they are recording here... not the hotel.”

God I hate Taylor... “Which house dumb-***? You know I own both houses now.” I responded huskily. I was slightly incoherent since I had not had my Starbucks coffee yet.

“Both... we have to keep them guessing. Some days you will be at Ridley.. others you will be on Satanas. It's up to you. I know this is springing it on you quickly... but remember you are under contract with us now. This is what you wanted when you signed your name on the dotted line.”

“Yes, Satan.. I sold my soul to Interscope Records... and it's security team affiliates. I know, you own me and I jump when you tell me too. **** off!.. what time does the flight come in?”

“They will be landing at Brown Field at 6AM. They are hopping the flight from JFK to LAX, and then we are putting them in a smaller plane and sending them to Brown. There are fangirls camping out at Lindburgh right now as we speak.”

“********. So quit flappin' yer yap and let me get ready then!” I huskily call out.

“Jon's got the other GMC and he will meet you there. Drive the SUV, you've got the best limo tint we put on it.” Taylor replied and then hung up.

CRAP! Tokio Hotel this time!! What next? I had been working in the field since I was 17 and graduated from high school. Now I was the labels best. They depended upon me for things they would not ask anyone else. Now, keeping Tokio Hotel under wraps while recording their album in California was MY task. I wanted to take my double edged Black Knight sword and run Taylor through with it. But, Taylor knew I needed to keep on working. I had inherited both houses in San Diego after my mother passed away. I was only 20 when she passed and now I was going to be 22 this fall. I had done very well at keeping things up on my own.

I made a quick call to Maria, my trusted friend and housekeeper. She had been there for me during my crazy years and stayed at my bedside when I had an unfortunate acid trip and nursed me back to health. I loved her as my foster mother. I had to tell her the guys were on their way... she would come immediately and help get things ready. ****, this meant that I would have to sleep in my mother's room while the guys were there. I had not done that for a long time. I still wanted to stay in my old bedroom that I had growing up since I was 12. That is where I had woken up this morning. I got dizzy to think that they guys would be in there later that day... oh God... which one of them would be sleeping in MY bed?

I pushed the thoughts out of my mind. Needed to concentrate.. must go into work mode only. I cannot let anyone know of how I listened to Tokio Hotel every night after my mother had passed... and I stood on the edge of a cliff late at night... looking down at the lights of the houses shining on the seawater... and someone came by in a car blaring Spring Nicht. I fell to the ground crying... and I never returned there again. From that night on... I knew my life would change forever. I just had no idea How much.

I jumped up out of bed, not bothering got clean up the room.. I knew Maria would be there in a half hour for me. I went into my mother's room and picked out an outfit to wear for the day. I chose all white today for some reason. I had a white corset bodice top, white jeans, white boots and a white trench coat. Why I wanted the trench coat on... I was not sure... it was going to be about 80 degrees and sunny that day in San Diego. I guess it was like my security blanket for the day. I laid the clothes out on the king size bed in the master bedroom and turned on my CD player as I showered and got ready. I had forgotten I left the Zimmer 483 CD in there when I was repainting the room last week.

I opened the garage door and warmed up the car. I fed Gizmo and gave him some fresh water as I went to grab my gear and head off. Maria had pulled up right as I was pulling out of the garage. She had her niece with her to help out. She waved to me and I stopped for a moment. She told me not to worry and she will have everything ready and even breakfast going when we get back. I knew I loved her for something.

I peeled off and headed down the on-ramp for the 15 South. I chirped Jon on my radio to see if he was live and kickin yet. I was 5AM.. thank the Gods there was no traffic at this hour going South. I would never have made it on time. I reached the air field and saw Jon parked out on the tarmac. He flicked his cigarette out the car window. Jon was like a father to me. He was almost 50, but he knew how to rock with the best of them. The first time I ever saw Jon, I was only 17. I was just offered a contract to start my own band after having a great audition. I was excited about it and my friends and I went to the Del Mar Fairgrounds to celebrate at the Suicidal Tendencies and Megadeth concert.

I saw Jon there when a guy came towards me, blood pouring from his head after having a beer bottle smashed against his face. Jon came through the crowd and handed my friend Brooke to me... she was hurt after crowd surfing as they opened up the floor to mosh right as they were lifting her, and Brook fell to the ground.

Jon waved me over to pull the car up next to his. I did so and we stayed in the cars until the plane came. Jon took one look at me and knew there was something going on on my head that morning.

“Skeletons in your closet again, Mari?” he asked as he raised a brow at me.

“I don' t möchten über es im Augenblick sprechen, Jon" I replied, giving Jon the evil eye I had, which was accentuated this morning by my eyeliner.

“You don't want want to talk about it? It's ME dear... I know what's going on in your head. Don't worry... I won't tell anyone either. I will keep your secrets.” Jon answered back through the car window.

On the horizon, coming down from the North side of us, I saw a small aircraft coming in. My hands started shaking on the steering wheel. I suddenly felt them. Yes, the plane I saw was carrying them inside it. I could feel them. Tom, his energy wild like a ping pong ball bouncing back and forth-Gustav, like water dripping from a faucet, hesitant and then sudden. Georg was like swirls of blue, kinda psychodelic as I closed my eyes... and then Bill. Oh God.. NEIN!! Do Not let me feel that right now... I will not be able to breathe! ****.. it came forcefully to me the more I tried to push it away. Jon could see me wanting to pull my hair out. The steady electric pulses of a beating heart, flowing and pushing itself outward to the world with every beat. Completely infectious no matter how you tried to stop it. I gasped for air and Jon threw his lighter at me and a pack of Djarums.


“GOD I LOVE YOU MAN!” I yelled at I quickly lit up the clove cigarette and inhaled sharply. The taste of it was better than the coffee I had that morning. I closed my eyes and prepared for my entrance to meet the guys. I had to think of my translations in my head. God this was gonna be hard. I could read and write German better than I could speak it. I made the sign of the cross on my chest and prayed for my Grandmother's spirit to be with me and give me strength. She knew how to speak German, and maybe from Heaven she would help me.

The plane finally touched down and the engines stopped. Someone opened the door and I saw Georg come out of the airplane with a backpack slung over his shoulder. One of the ground crew went to get the suitcases and put them into Jon's vehicle. He got the stuff, I get the guys. Great... torture me why don't you. I then saw Gustav come out, followed by Bill and Tom. I took a deep breath and counted to 3, and then unlocked the driver's side door. I opened the door and crushed the rest of the cigarette in the ashtray. I hardly ever smoked in my car. I swung my legs quickly to the side and stepped out of the SUV slowly. There was a gust of wind that came from a helicopter starting up near us. My trenchcoat flew back in the wind and it reminded me of the film FACE OFF starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. I smirked and thought how much of a bad *** moment this was for me... and I walked toward the guys. I could tell they were still very sleepy, so I decided to try my best German... but I felt it would sound strange mixed with an Irish brogue accent and that I would be laughed at.


"Gutenmorgen, Herr. Willkommen nach San Diego. Mein Name ist Mari und ich bin verantwortlich für alle Ihre Notwendigkeiten während Sie stay." I thought maybe I sounded horrible, but Tom just looked at me and licked his lips ad Bill turned to him and smacked him. Bill stuck out his hand and I shook it slowly, trying to see his eyes through his sunglasses.

“Good morning. I am Bill. This is Tom, my brother, Gustav and Georg. We are excited to be here with you. They told us very little. Plans have changed now?” Bill looked at me a little worried. I smiled back. Bill's English had gotten a lot better in the last year. I hoped to be able to teach him more while they were staying there, and see what Gustav and Georg wanted to learn too, since they hardly spoke.

“Yes, and I am sorry they have not told you anything yet. The team felt it would be safer and more comfortable for you all if you stayed in a house in the suburbs, instead of in a hotel the whole time. 4 months straight in a hotel is no pic-nic... I have been there.”

“This house, who lives there?” Tom asked as he grabbed a backpack and we all started walking towards my car.

“Just me. There will be a total of 2 houses you can spend time at. I own both of them. You can come and go as you please... it will be your home as well for the next 4 months.” I replied as I unlocked the doors with the remote and opened them. Jon finally came around the side of my car and introduced himself to the guys. “Oh, and this is Jon, he's like the father figure around here. If there is any gear that you need, Jon's got it covered. You want to go out somewhere, Jon will take you there and watch out for things for you, but you will have your own space with us. We will not crowd you here, unless a group of fans comes running at you... we will be almost invisible.”

Jon laughed as he slammed the back truck door making sure nothing would fall out.
“You make us sound like the Friggin' CIA Mari.” I flipped Jon off and got into the car. Mine was a bit smaller than Jon's so I could only fit 3 guys in the back comfortably. Tom sat in the passenger seat next to me, with Gustav falling asleep behind me, Georg on the passenger side in the back, and Bill in the middle. God, why did they do that, every time I look in the rear view mirror I would see him. I couldn't smack myself now... had to wait. WORK DANG IT... don't let it out. Now would NOT be good. Jon was the only one that knew, and I was going to keep it that way.

I turned on a CD lightly and sped off toward the gates with Jon following close behind. It only took us 20 minutes to reach Ridley. I decided to take them to that house first. It was cozy and smaller that Satanas, but I wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with the guys on my turf, and I spent many years in the Ridley house. I drove through the town and everyone was awake enough now to look around. My SUV sped on up the hill easily from the freeway and I headed on back to Feather Ridge where the Ridley house was. I pulled up into the driveway and Jon pulled in behind me blocking me in. No one was around, no one knew they were there. I was not sure if there were any teen Tokio hotel fans in my neighborhood there, but it was quiet and everyone would be in the house by the time the kids left for school anyway.

I did not bother to push the garage door button this time. I thought it would be more proper to have the guys go through the front door. I could see that Maria's car had moved and was parked across the street for now. We all got out of the SUV's and Jon took care of the suitcases and gear from the guys. I led them all to the front of the house. As I passed the living room window, my dog Gizmo jumped on the couch and began to bark at Tom and Bill who were behind me now. I turn to Bill and jokingly say to him, “I guess the dog's been in my hairspray again...” as Gizmo's ears pop up making him look like Bill on one of his wilder hair days. Bill smiled and rolled his eyes at me. I knew he was sick of the hair jokes.. but I just had to.

I opened the front door with the key and I could smell fresh breakfast from the kitchen. Maria and he niece has cleaned the whole place, set it up for guests and had breakfast delivered for all of us. Man, she rocked hard core! I told the guys to set their things down in the living room until they chose which rooms they wanted. How in Hades we were gonna work out having 5 people in a 4 bedroom house, I had not a clue at the moment. The only actual bedrooms were upstairs. Then Den downstairs was my office and held the computer and other art equipment from over the years. I didn't want to think about it right then. I wanted food. I showed the guys around the house quickly and introduced them to Maria whom they would be seeing around the place twice a week. Then we all gathered around the kitchen and family room to eat and talk.


I grabbed a tall glass out of the cabinet and poured some orange juice and sat down with my bagel and cream cheese and some fruit. Georg took a minute to look around the kitchen and get himself acquainted with things, before he grabbed some food and sat down. Gustav was joking with him about having him make dinner that night if he was going to get so homey on all of them. Tom tried not to choke on his glass of water as he replied something too quickly in German that I couldn't get it right. Bill started laughing and told Georg that they would have to get some little pink apron to put on him and make him cook for them if he lost their dare they had on the plane.

My head popped up from reading the front page of the paper that Maria had left for me on the table. I wanted so badly to know what this dare was. Hmm... guess I would find out later. Nein.. it was killing me to ask them about it.

“What is this dare?” I ask softly as I look at Tom who was sitting to my right now.

“We made a couple of them, one for each of us. We can't tell the dare until it happens. How do you say in English, umh... more like predictions. Is that right?”

“Predictions for all of you eh? Yeah, that sounds good... dares and predictions... hmm... I would love to see how those play out on all of you.” I replied softly. I knew I had predictions of my own for all of them, but was not sure if they matched or not.

We all finished breakfast and I helped to get everyone settled in. I took the guys upstairs and opened the doors to the rooms. They were exactly the same lay out except flipped over. Bill saw the room on the right and walked into MY ROOM... he dropped his bag onto my dresser and flopped himself onto my bed as if he jumped off the stage to crowd surf, and stared up at the ceiling.

“I like it. Tom you can have the other bed.” Bill said as he kept staring at the ceiling. Tom walked in and pushed Bill over to the side jokingly. I gulped, “Is it ok for us to have this room?” Tom looked back and me and asked. GOD, the Kaulitz's wanted to be in my room. I needed smelling salts... as I started having flashes before my eyes of things I had seen before. Deja vu was NOT gonna happen right now.

“That's fine, I am glad you like it.” I replied softly.

Gustav went into the other room and started bouncing on the bed when he sat down. He made a comment saying to Georg that it would be better for them to not have to sleep in hotel beds or in the car for so long. Georg agreed and then crashed on the bed and fell asleep. I looked back into my room and stared silently as Bill and Tom were looking at all the photos and concert tickets I had in frames from people and bands I had met over the years. The twins laughed and smiled as they saw the framed pics of a show I worked security at for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I was standing backstage and got some pics with Anthony Kedis and Flea, as well as autographs on things from them.

I was thrown back into nostalgia as I watched them. I decided I better go and get some work done before I completely melted into a pool of myself on the carpet.

“Umh, guys... I am gonna leave you alone to get settled in. My bedroom is right there if you need anything, but I will be downstairs for now.” I muttered out. Bill turned around and smiled, and pointed to my pics like, dude you rock! And I smiled back at him, went into my room to put my trench coat in the closet and then headed downstairs to practice some of my work.

CHAPTER 2:


3 weeks had now passed since their arrival in my home and all 4 of the guys had begun to feel at ease there. I had an early morning class at the gym, and I came home to find all the guys sprawled out in the family room and kitchen enjoying their Breakfast hour. It turns out that Jon had come over while I was out as well. The guys looked so happy and refreshed that morning, and I thanked my lucky stars that I showered and changed at the gym before coming home.

Gustav and Georg were looking through the paper today and as I opened the fridge for one for one for one of my “pond sludge” drinks, Georg asked me what this festival was for that he saw advertised. It was nearing the 4th of July holiday weekend and Georg was looking at an advertisement for a concert at the infamous Del Mar Fairgrounds. I sat down on the couch and looked at it to see who was playing there. They has some interesting bands and some that I had not hear of before. I sat my bottle down on the coffee table and got up to get a glass from the cupboard.

“ If you would like to go for the day Georg I can take you there. The fair is a lot of fun and I think you would like it.” I replied over my shoulder. Georg looked at the other guys and Bill watched me as I came back over to the couch, opened the bottle and poured out the thick green drink into my glass. He gave me a weird look as he saw what it looked like.

“What are you drinking?” Asked Tom, as he looked like he was gonna hurl.

“Oh, it's a special drink that has fruits and vegetables blended up together, I know it looks gross but it tastes like apples and pears to me.” I handed the glass over to Tom who sniffed it quickly and handed it back with an amused look on his face. Bill looked at the bottle and started to pick it up and read it. I thought maybe he would be interested in it, so I let him have the first sip out of my glass. I watched intently on Bill trying to drink the stuff. He tilted the glass slowly and I thought maybe he was having second thoughts, then he took a good swig of it and handed me back the glass. I looked at him with a raised brow, knowing Bill wouldn't normally dare to drink or eat anything he had never seen before. He looked like he enjoyed the taste of it, and nodded his head that he liked it. I just nodded back an O.K. and began back to the conversation.

“This is the Del Mar Fair that you are talking about Georg. We have it here every year for 2 weeks in the summer. People from all over the county come and have fun. They have people show their plants and animals, there are games and rides, and it's all on the fairgrounds near the beach. They have fireworks at night too.”

“I wanna go!” Tom said as he leaned over the back of the couch between myself and Georg. “We should all go out... we have been working hard. I want to see Bill throw up on the rides now that he's had that green stuff.” Bill looked up at Tom, flipped him off and gave him his “oh ha ha ha” look. I turned to Bill with a look asking if he wanted to go. Bill nodded and thought they could use some fresh air and Sun since they had been working hard that week.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you all that I am hosting a party at the other house tomorrow night. I think it would be great for us all to go over there and get used to the place in the morning tomorrow. The other house is a little bit bigger but the back yard is about the same size. I think you all will like it there this next week. There will be plenty of space to crash out after the party too.” I replied before taking a huge swig of my drink. Just then, Jon came out from my den with a grave look on his face. I knew he had been talking to the boss that morning.

“What's the diagnosis, Doc?” I asked as he came out, packing a new pack of cigs against his palm.

“Jost. He insists that the original team meet up with us now for security. Especially since the guys have public appearances coming up this month. So, Saki and the others are on their way here now... I know I know... don't all give me the dagger eyes at once.” Jon answered as he lit a cig and went to the back porch with it.

“Jost can kiss my good ol' American white behind! We get called in so the team gets time off and then that son of a biscuit eater wants to push his muscle around!!.. Oh he's gonna feel me now!” I replied trying not to go off too much.

“I admit Jost can be a real pain for us” Bill added, but it will be ok, maybe Saki will work well with you. I admit your techniques are different, but I think you could give him a run for his money.” Bill watched as I took the glass and washed it out in the sink.

“I could give you a run for your money too...” I stupidly mumbled out under my breath as I put the glass in the drainboard. Bill looked at Tom since he was the closest to me, wondering if he understood what I had said. Jon happened to be standing on the side of the house, right at the open kitchen window. He gave me a tsk tsk tsk, I heard that look and I got beet red.

“Well then,” I brightened up a bit, “since you all would like to go, I suggest you all get ready to leave for the day and we can leave in about an hour if you would like.”

We all agreed and the guys got ready to go out quickly. I noticed that Bill had put on just a smidge of eyeliner on but not his full black eyes, and his hair was still down for the day. I thanked God under my breath for that... I wanted some relaxing time there for them and with the spikey hair that would be impossible from first glance. Jon and I revved up the cars and got ready to go out. We headed on down the highway, I had figured it would be better to take the brand new highway 52 that ran practically through my back yard now. I grumbled something under my breath while driving that the development of man was killing off all the wildlife in the area just for stupid highways and Condos. Jon and I reached the fairgrounds within a flash and we went around the back VIP way to get in for a parking spot instead of using the main gates. It was almost lunchtime now and I knew the guys would want the whole day to look around at everything.

Jon and I guided the guys down the boardwalk area and we all walked in a small pack as the guys looked around at all the vendors and booths. Jon had the front, and I walked behind everyone. We came up on the salt water taffy place and I whistled to Jon to stop for a minute. Bill came up behind me and rested his chin on my shoulder as I ordered 3 huge bags of the mixed flavors for all of us.

“what are you getting?” Bill asked softly as he looked up at the window. I was trying to keep my composure as his breath tickled my face.

“Salt water taffy.. candy... here try some” I replied back quickly and smiling at him as I unwrapped a piece quickly and shoved it in his mouth to taste and walked away.

God, why did he DO that?! Doesn't this guy know what he does to my insides! Nein, he must not know... I am good at stone facing what is going on, it's part of my martial arts training to never let the other side see you sweat, or see your fears. If any of them do that again, I will shoot myself though.

I passed a bag of candy to Tom and he unwrapped a piece that was still a little warm and started playing with it between his fingers. He then took the piece and tried to put it on Gustav's nose. Gustav stopped walking and told Tom he was in for a food fight if he kept it up. Tom kept playing with the candy and Bill told him he was being a pervert by the way it looked.

“Hey, you can play around too” Tom replied as he threw a piece of taffy at Bill. Bill caught it and started unwrapping it to eat and Tom passed him and squished the candy all into his hand. Bill yelled out obscenities at him in German and Tom and Gustav just laughed at him. Georg was walking next to me and grabbed a few pieces from my bag to arm himself in case they came at him this time. Bill turned back at me and wondered what he should do. I considered some very dirty thoughts about eating the candy out of his hand for him. Georg must've heard them somehow, for he winked at me and said, “I think he'd like that if you tried it.” I turned back to see Bill trying to pull some of the candy off of his hand and throw it back at Tom. Tom gave me a devilish smirk and I knew he was about to get me too, or at least get me to help out Bill.

“Don't even think about it, Tom, unless you want to shave your dreds cause the Taffy won't come out!” I replied with a wicked evil smile. Tom grabbed his cap and ran up the boardwalk saying NEIN NEIN NEIN... and hiding behind Gustav for safety. I ended up grabbing a pack of travel baby wipes out of my bag and handed them to Bill so he could get the rest of the goopy stuff off of his hand. He smiled at me and I saw something different about him just then. I turned away quickly for it was what I knew I was going to see. I did not want to deal with my flashes that day. Premonitions had no place for me at that moment. I asked the guys if they wanted to go over to the games area. Gustav said something about wanting to scare Tom in the haunted house and Georg agreed with him.

We kept walking straight down the boardwalk and we got a few stares here and there from fans. A few girls came over and Jon and I were instantly in the zone when they asked for autographs. I stood between Tom and Bill and Jon was guarding Georg and Gustav for the moment. I took out some silver paint sharpies from my bag and handed them to Tom and Bill so they could sign for the fans. I turned my back and gave Tom my shoulder so he could have something to write on. His handwriting tickled me through the paper and I started laughing. He handed the autographs over and stood for pics with Bill and the girls for a few minutes. They all told them they loved them and wanted to see a show soon. Tom told them they might have something in the works for a surprise show soon and to keep a lookout on their website for more details as to how to get tickets to the show. The fans got excited and Jon and I led the guys on down to the rides and games area.

Bill and Georg kept close to me now and Tom was looking all around at what he wanted to do first. I saw Bill look up at the huge Ferris wheel and smile at Tom. He saw that the cages moved by themselves and he challenged Tom to see who could spin them the fastest without throwing up. Tom shook on it and Bill grabbed my hand and led me over to the ticket booth. I looked at him in fear and told him there was no way that I was going on there if they were going to spin it because I was not interested in getting sick. Georg pouted at me and told me I had to go and they wouldn't do it without me. I told Georg sadly that I would sit it out but next time I would go on there. I told him that he should team up with Bill and see if they could beat Gustav and Tom.

So the guys took my advice and they all ended up on the ride just as I told them too. Tom was all ready to go to see if he could show off Bill like he wanted. The Ferris wheel started to move and Tom and Gustav's cage reached the top. Tom released the lever and he and Gustav started rocking the cage back and forth to get it moving right. Bill and Georg looked up at them and started shouting that they were better than that. Just as the cage started going forward for Tom and Gustav, the ride moved backwards and Tom ended up spinning the cage in reverse going all the way down. I could hear Tom yelling out and I started laughing so hard that I had to grab a hold of Jon's shoulder to help me breathe. Bill and Georg had their cage reach the top of the wheel and they started to rock it again. This time Georg tried almost standing up and Bill leaned against the back of the cage to help get it going. I was concerned because I knew one of them would hit their heads if they kept that up. I yelled up at them because it had happened to me when I was a kid on that ride.

"Passen Sie heraus Sie zwei, Sie sich verletzt wie das auf!" ( Watch out you two, or you will hurt yourself like that!) I yelled out of instinct. Bill stopped rolling the cage for a second and looked down at me and waved O.K. Then Jon whispered that they would be fine and to stop the mother hen crap and let them have fun. I grumbled under my breath again. Jon pulled me to the side for a moment and the guys went on with their fun. I could hear Tom and Gustav behind me yelling and screaming about being the winners as Bill called out to them to watch out. I thought it was cute how much fun they were having, but as Jon pulled me aside, I grew stone faced again.

“Have you had any more flashes since they arrived?” Jon asked concerned. “ I can tell you are having trouble dealing with things when you see them now. I know you don't want anyone to know. Maybe if you talk to Bill about it one day, he will understand a lot better than you think.”

“I am not going to tell any of them anything about this anytime soon, Jon. I can't help the flashes and dreams that I have. It's in my bloodline, even if I had a daughter, she would have to deal with them. Do you have any idea what it's like, knowing tid bits of someone's life and not being able to tell anyone about it? I swear being like this can really suck at times.” I answered softly trying not to cry.

“Maybe you should have your sister come down for the weekend. I know a good talk with her will help.” Jon tried grasping at straws to help.

“No, she may be my sister but she has different views than me. Ever since our mom died, it's gotten stronger, I am the one who carries this, I will be fine. The visions and dreams have lessened a bit since they have gotten here. I won't tell them I know what will happen this summer, but I know it's nothing bad at all... only good things will come for them. I swore I would make sure of it too.”

“Just be careful of taking on too much right now, ok?” Jon scruffed my back and we turned back to the Ferris wheel to see Tom and Gustav getting out of the cage all dizzy and laughing.

Bill and Georg came out as well and Tom decided he was the best at spinning the cages since Bill and Georg got yelled at by me. I wrapped my arm over Georg's shoulder and looked back and told Tom he could wish all he wanted. Georg agreed and we strolled off to get some lunch. Bill smiled and stuck his tongue out at Tom and Tom and Gustav pouted for a minute as Bill ran up to me and Georg telling us he wanted to have more fun after lunch, but was getting hungry too and wanted something good to eat.

I told Jon we should go off to the side area and let the guys grab some grub for a bit. Jon and I decided some Texas style barbeque was up our alley, and Gustav thought that sounded great too and went with him. I watched Georg and Tom as they looked around at all the foods that they had. Tom and Bill started laughing and joking around about all the things you could eat on a stick. I decided that I would help the guys get the rest of the food and drinks and then we all sat down at a huge picnic table to eat. Near us there us there was this little stage and they had some Native American folk singers playing pan flutes and drums. By the time everyone got back to the table with all the food, it looked like a feast for all of us. We all ate and had fun and discussed what was there for the day and what to do next.

We all decided that we would walk around certain areas and look at things for a while before going back over to the games area for a little fun. The exhibits closed down when it got dark at times and they didn't want to miss anything. I asked them if we could stop by one of the arenas as there was a horse trainer in town that I knew and I wanted to say hello to her. They all thought it was cool and Gustav asked me if I rode horses. I told him I did some training when I was younger and if he wanted to ride one I could saddle one up for him. Bill started in on Gustav wanting to pet the little ponies and I laughed and said to Bill,

“Let's see how well YOU can ride horse, Bill!” as I turned to him and winked. Bill's face went white and Tom said to him,

“See, I told you... your dare came up first!”

Bill just looked away from me, picked up his drink and said nothing back to Tom at all. I looked at Tom and wanted him now to spill the secret Twin thing going on and tell me what his dare for Bill was.

“Tell me Tom, what did you dare Bill to do?” I asked with a smirk on my face as I looked at Bill and how hard he tried to hide his ****** off attitude in front of me.

“I dared Bill to do something so unlike himself while he was here. That he had to try something new that no one would expect him to do.” Tom revealed before popping a french fry into his mouth and smirking at Bill again.

“Bill, just because tom is your twin brother doesn't mean you have to listen to his mouth, If you don't want to take the dare, you don't have to.” I added in as Bill tried to finish his lunch.

“Nein, it's ok... I want to. Will you show me how?” Bill answered me back with a straight face.

OMG... what in Hades had gotten into these guys this last week? Tom makes the dare and now I am going to teach Bill Kaulitz how to horseback ride Western style? What on Earth!! I guess that I could do that... I mean... (flash) I now see Bill in my head as he is feeding hay to one of the horses as I help my friend Jennifer put the saddle on a spotted Mare. I look at Jon quickly and he is downing a bottle of Budwiser and then looks back at me.

“Don't worry, Bill.. she's the best teacher you will ever have. Right hun, you can do anything you SEE fit to do.” Jon emphasized the word so I knew he could tell why I looked at him with puppy eyes just then.

“Ok Bill, I will let you ride with me after lunch, you don't have to be on the horse alone either if you don't want to. Some of them can be pretty tricky, especially Jen's horses.” I smiled back at Bill and reached across the table to pat his hand in reassurance. Bill turned his hand over and held mine for a moment as he looked back at me through his sunglasses. I knew this was a turning point for all of us, and nothing in my house would be the same once we got back.

CHAPTER 1:

“Mornin' Sunshine!” Taylor screamed into my cell phone at 4AM. I hated being woken up at the “crack of my a** o'clock” ... even for work. “I know you hate hearing from me this early in the morning... but... we are bringing them in a day early. Turns out the flights from Berlin are being monitored from the fangirls. We have got to send them a day early your way... to make sure they get through. I am placing you head of the security team. And Oh... BTW... I am sending them to YOUR house while they are recording here... not the hotel.”

God I hate Taylor... “Which house dumb-***? You know I own both houses now.” I responded huskily. I was slightly incoherent since I had not had my Starbucks coffee yet.

“Both... we have to keep them guessing. Some days you will be at Ridley.. others you will be on Satanas. It's up to you. I know this is springing it on you quickly... but remember you are under contract with us now. This is what you wanted when you signed your name on the dotted line.”

“Yes, Satan.. I sold my soul to Interscope Records... and it's security team affiliates. I know, you own me and I jump when you tell me too. **** off!.. what time does the flight come in?”

“They will be landing at Brown Field at 6AM. They are hopping the flight from JFK to LAX, and then we are putting them in a smaller plane and sending them to Brown. There are fangirls camping out at Lindburgh right now as we speak.”

“********. So quit flappin' yer yap and let me get ready then!” I huskily call out.

“Jon's got the other GMC and he will meet you there. Drive the SUV, you've got the best limo tint we put on it.” Taylor replied and then hung up.

CRAP! Tokio Hotel this time!! What next? I had been working in the field since I was 17 and graduated from high school. Now I was the labels best. They depended upon me for things they would not ask anyone else. Now, keeping Tokio Hotel under wraps while recording their album in California was MY task. I wanted to take my double edged Black Knight sword and run Taylor through with it. But, Taylor knew I needed to keep on working. I had inherited both houses in San Diego after my mother passed away. I was only 20 when she passed and now I was going to be 22 this fall. I had done very well at keeping things up on my own.

I made a quick call to Maria, my trusted friend and housekeeper. She had been there for me during my crazy years and stayed at my bedside when I had an unfortunate acid trip and nursed me back to health. I loved her as my foster mother. I had to tell her the guys were on their way... she would come immediately and help get things ready. ****, this meant that I would have to sleep in my mother's room while the guys were there. I had not done that for a long time. I still wanted to stay in my old bedroom that I had growing up since I was 12. That is where I had woken up this morning. I got dizzy to think that the guys would be in there later that day... oh God... which one of them would be sleeping in MY bed?

I pushed the thoughts out of my mind. Needed to concentrate.. must go into work mode only. I cannot let anyone know of how I listened to Tokio Hotel every night after my mother had passed... and I stood on the edge of a cliff late at night... looking down at the lights of the houses shining on the seawater... and someone came by in a car blaring Spring Nicht. I fell to the ground crying... and I never returned there again. From that night on... I knew my life would change forever. I just had no idea How much.

I jumped up out of bed, not bothering got clean up the room.. I knew Maria would be there in a half hour for me. I went into my mother's room and picked out an outfit to wear for the day. I chose all white today for some reason. I had a white corset bodice top, white jeans, white boots and a white trench coat. Why I wanted the trench coat on... I was not sure... it was going to be about 80 degrees and sunny that day in San Diego. I guess it was like my security blanket for the day. I laid the clothes out on the king size bed in the master bedroom and turned on my CD player as I showered and got ready. I had forgotten I left the Zimmer 483 CD in there when I was repainting the room last week.

I opened the garage door and warmed up the car. I fed Gizmo and gave him some fresh water as I went to grab my gear and head off. Maria had pulled up right as I was pulling out of the garage. She had her niece with her to help out. She waved to me and I stopped for a moment. She told me not to worry and she will have everything ready and even breakfast going when we get back. I knew I loved her for something.

I peeled off and headed down the on-ramp for the 15 South. I chirped Jon on my radio to see if he was live and kickin yet. I was 5AM.. thank the Gods there was no traffic at this hour going South. I would never have made it on time. I reached the air field and saw Jon parked out on the tarmac. He flicked his cigarette out the car window. Jon was like a father to me. He was almost 50, but he knew how to rock with the best of them. The first time I ever saw Jon, I was only 17. I was just offered a contract to start my own band after having a great audition. I was excited about it and my friends and I went to the Del Mar Fairgrounds to celebrate at the Suicidal Tendencies and Megadeth concert.

I saw Jon there when a guy came towards me, blood pouring from his head after having a beer bottle smashed against his face. Jon came through the crowd and handed my friend Brooke to me... she was hurt after crowd surfing as they opened up the floor to mosh right as they were lifting her, and Brook fell to the ground.

Jon waved me over to pull the car up next to his. I did so and we stayed in the cars until the plane came. Jon took one look at me and knew there was something going on on my head that morning.

“Skeletons in your closet again, Mari?” he asked as he raised a brow at me.

“I don' t möchten über es im Augenblick sprechen, Jon" I replied, giving Jon the evil eye I had, which was accentuated this morning by my eyeliner.

“You don't want want to talk about it? It's ME dear... I know what's going on in your head. Don't worry... I won't tell anyone either. I will keep your secrets.” Jon answered back through the car window.

On the horizon, coming down from the North side of us, I saw a small aircraft coming in. My hands started shaking on the steering wheel. I suddenly felt them. Yes, the plane I saw was carrying them inside it. I could feel them. Tom, his energy wild like a ping pong ball bouncing back and forth-Gustav, like water dripping from a faucet, hesitant and then sudden. Georg was like swirls of blue, kinda psychodelic as I closed my eyes... and then Bill. Oh God.. NEIN!! Do Not let me feel that right now... I will not be able to breathe! ****.. it came forcefully to me the more I tried to push it away. Jon could see me wanting to pull my hair out. The steady electric pulses of a beating heart, flowing and pushing itself outward to the world with every beat. Completely infectious no matter how you tried to stop it. I gasped for air and Jon threw his lighter at me and a pack of Djarums.


“GOD I LOVE YOU MAN!” I yelled as I quickly lit up the clove cigarette and inhaled sharply. The taste of it was better than the coffee I had that morning. I closed my eyes and prepared for my entrance to meet the guys. I had to think of my translations in my head. God this was gonna be hard. I could read and write German better than I could speak it. I made the sign of the cross on my chest and prayed for my Grandmother's spirit to be with me and give me strength. She knew how to speak German, Since she was from around there, and maybe from Heaven she would help me.

The plane finally touched down and the engines stopped. Someone opened the door and I saw Georg come out of the airplane with a backpack slung over his shoulder. One of the ground crew went to get the suitcases and put them into Jon's vehicle. He got the stuff, I get the guys. Great... torture me why don't you. I then saw Gustav come out, followed by Bill and Tom. I took a deep breath and counted to 3, and then unlocked the driver's side door. I opened the door and crushed the rest of the cigarette in the ashtray. I hardly ever smoked in my car. I swung my legs quickly to the side and stepped out of the SUV slowly. There was a gust of wind that came from a helicopter starting up near us. My trench coat flew back in the wind and it reminded me of the film FACE OFF starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. I smirked and thought how much of a bad *** moment this was for me... and I walked toward the guys. I could tell they were still very sleepy, so I decided to try my best German... but I felt it would sound strange mixed with an Irish brogue accent and that I would be laughed at.


"Gutenmorgen, Herr. Willkommen nach San Diego. Mein Name ist Mari und ich bin verantwortlich für alle Ihre Notwendigkeiten während Sie stay." I thought maybe I sounded horrible, but Tom just looked at me and licked his lips and Bill turned to him and smacked him. Bill stuck out his hand and I shook it slowly, I was trying to see his eyes through his sunglasses.

“Good morning. I am Bill. This is Tom, my brother, Gustav and Georg. We are excited to be here with you. They told us very little. Plans have changed now?” Bill looked at me a little worried. I smiled back. Bill's English had gotten a lot better in the last year. I hoped to be able to teach him more while they were staying there, and see what Gustav and Georg wanted to learn too, since they hardly spoke.

“Yes, and I am sorry they have not told you anything yet. The team felt it would be safer and more comfortable for you all if you stayed in a house in the suburbs, instead of in a hotel the whole time. 4 months straight in a hotel is no picnic... I have been there.”

“This house, who lives there?” Tom asked as he grabbed a backpack and we all started walking towards my car.

“Just me. There will be a total of 2 houses you can spend time at. I own both of them. You can come and go as you please... it will be your home as well for the next 4 months.” I replied as I unlocked the doors with the remote and opened them. Jon finally came around the side of my car and introduced himself to the guys. “Oh, and this is Jon, he's like the father figure around here. If there is any gear that you need, Jon's got it covered. You want to go out somewhere, Jon will take you there and watch out for things for you, but you will have your own space with us. We will not crowd you here, unless a group of fans comes running at you... we will be almost invisible.”

Jon laughed as he slammed the back truck door making sure nothing would fall out.
“You make us sound like the Friggin' CIA Mari.” I flipped Jon off and got into the car. Mine was a bit smaller than Jon's so I could only fit 3 guys in the back comfortably. Tom sat in the passenger seat next to me, with Gustav falling asleep behind me, Georg on the passenger side in the back, and Bill in the middle. God, why did they do that, every time I look in the rear view mirror I would see him. I couldn't smack myself now... had to wait. WORK DANG IT... don't let it out. Now would NOT be good. Jon was the only one that knew, and I was going to keep it that way.

I turned on a CD lightly and sped off toward the gates with Jon following close behind. It only took us 20 minutes to reach Ridley. I decided to take them to that house first. It was cozy and smaller that Satanas, but I wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with the guys on my turf, and I spent many years in the Ridley house. I drove through the town and everyone was awake enough now to look around. My SUV sped on up the hill easily from the freeway and I headed on back to Feather Ridge where the Ridley house was. I pulled up into the driveway and Jon pulled in behind me blocking me in. No one was around, no one knew they were there. I was not sure if there were any teen Tokio hotel fans in my neighborhood there, but it was quiet and everyone would be in the house by the time the kids left for school anyway.

I did not bother to push the garage door button this time. I thought it would be more proper to have the guys go through the front door. I could see that Maria's car had moved and was parked across the street for now. We all got out of the SUV's and Jon took care of the suitcases and gear from the guys. I led them all to the front of the house. As I passed the living room window, my dog Gizmo jumped on the couch and began to bark at Tom and Bill who were behind me now. I turn to Bill and jokingly say to him, “I guess the dog's been in my hairspray again...” as Gizmo's ears pop up making him look like Bill on one of his wilder hair days. Bill smiled and rolled his eyes at me. I knew he was sick of the hair jokes.. but I just had to.

I opened the front door with the key and I could smell fresh breakfast from the kitchen. Maria and her niece had cleaned the whole place, set it up for guests and had breakfast delivered for all of us. Man, she rocked hard core! I told the guys to set their things down in the living room until they chose which rooms they wanted. How in Hades we were gonna work out having 5 people in a 4 bedroom house, I had not a clue at the moment. The only actual bedrooms were upstairs. Then Den downstairs was my office and held the computer and other art equipment from over the years. I didn't want to think about it right then. I wanted food. I showed the guys around the house quickly and introduced them to Maria whom they would be seeing around the place twice a week. Then we all gathered around the kitchen and family room to eat and talk.


I grabbed a tall glass out of the cabinet and poured some orange juice and sat down with my bagel and cream cheese and some fruit. Georg took a minute to look around the kitchen and get himself acquainted with things, before he grabbed some food and sat down. Gustav was joking with him about having him make dinner that night it he was going to get so homey on all of them. Tom tried not to choke on his glass of water as he replied something too quickly in German that I couldn't get it right. Bill started laughing and told Georg that they would have to get some little pink apron to put on him and make him cook for them if he lost their dare they had on the plane.

My head popped up from reading the front page of the paper that Maria had left for me on the table. I wanted so badly to know what this dare was. Hmm... guess I would find out later. Nein.. it was killing me to ask them about it.

“What is this dare?” I ask softly as I look at Tom who was sitting to my right now.

“We made a couple of them, one for each of us. We can't tell the dare until it happens. How do you say in English, umh... more like predictions. Is that right?”

“Predictions for all of you eh? Yeah, that sounds good... dares and predictions... hmm... I would love to see how those play out on all of you.” I replied softly. I knew I had predictions of my own for all of them, but was not sure if they matched or not.

We all finished breakfast and I helped to get everyone settled in. I took the guys upstairs and opened the doors to the rooms. They were exactly the same lay out except flipped over. Bill saw the room on the right and walked into MY ROOM... he dropped his bag onto my dresser and flopped himself onto my bed as if he jumped off the stage to crowd surf, and stared up at the ceiling.

“I like it. Tom you can have the other bed.” Bill said as he kept staring at the ceiling. Tom walked in and pushed Bill over to the side jokingly. I gulped. “Is it ok for us to have this room?” Tom looked back and me and asked. GOD, the Kaulitz's wanted to be in my room. I needed smelling salts... as I started having flashes before my eyes of things I had seen before. Deja vu was NOT gonna happen right now.

“That's fine, I am glad you like it.” I replied softly.

Gustav went into the other room and started bouncing on the bed when he sat down. He made a comment saying to Georg that it would be better for them to not have to sleep in hotel beds or in the car for so long. Georg agreed and then crashed on the bed and fell asleep. I looked back into my room and stared silently as Bill and Tom were looking at all the photos and concert tickets I had in frames from people and bands I had met over the years. The twins laughed and smiled as they saw the framed pics of a show I worked security at for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I was standing backstage and got some pics with Anthony Kedis and Flea, as well as autographs on things from them.

I was thrown back into nostalgia as I watched them. I decided I better go and get some work done before I completely melted into a pool of myself on the carpet.

“Umh, guys... I am gonna leave you alone to get settled in. My bedroom is right there if you need anything, but I will be downstairs for now.” I muttered out. Bill turned around and smiled, and pointed to my pics like, dude you rock! And I smiled back at him, went into my room to put my trench coat in the closet and then headed downstairs to practice some of my work.



CHAPTER 2:


3 weeks had now passed since their arrival in my home and all 4 of the guys had begun to feel at ease there. I had an early morning class at the gym, and I came home to find all the guys sprawled out in the family room and kitchen enjoying their Breakfast hour. It turns out that Jon had come over while I was out as well. The guys looked so happy and refreshed that morning, and I thanked my lucky stars that I showered and changed at the gym before coming home.

Gustav and Georg were looking through the paper today and as I opened the fridge for one of my “pond sludge” drinks, Georg asked me what this festival was for that he saw advertised. It was nearing the 4th of July holiday weekend and Georg was looking at an advertisement for a concert at the infamous Del Mar Fairgrounds. I sat down on the couch and looked at it to see who was playing there. They has some interesting bands and some that I had not heard of before. I sat my bottle down on the coffee table and got up to get a glass from the cupboard.

“If you would like to go for the day Georg I can take you there. The fair is a lot of fun and I think you would like it.” I replied over my shoulder. Georg looked at the other guys and Bill watched me as I came back over to the couch, opened the bottle and poured out the thick green drink into my glass. He gave me a weird look as he saw what it looked like.

“What are you drinking?” Asked Tom, as he looked like he was gonna hurl.

“Oh, it's a special drink that has fruits and vegetables blended up together, I know it looks gross but it tastes like apples and pears to me.” I handed the glass over to Tom who sniffed it quickly and handed it back with an amused look on his face. Bill looked at the bottle and started to pick it up and read it. I thought maybe he would be interested in it, so I let him have the first sip out of my glass. I watched intently on Bill trying to drink the stuff. He tilted the glass slowly and I thought maybe he was having second thoughts, then he took a good swig of it and handed me back the glass. I looked at him with a raised brow, knowing Bill wouldn't normally dare to drink or eat anything he had never seen before. He looked like he enjoyed the taste of it, and nodded his head that he liked it. I just nodded back an O.K. and began back to the conversation.

“This is the Del Mar Fair that you are talking about Georg. We have it here every year for 2 weeks in the summer. People from all over the county come and have fun. They have people show their plants and animals, there are games and rides, and it's all on the fairgrounds near the beach. They have fireworks at night too.”

“I wanna go!” Tom said as he leaned over the back of the couch between myself and Georg. “We should all go out... we have been working hard. I want to see Bill throw up on the rides now that he's had that green stuff.” Bill looked up at Tom, flipped him off and gave him his “oh ha ha ha” look. I turned to Bill with a look asking if he wanted to go. Bill nodded and thought they could use some fresh air and Sun since they had been working hard that week.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you all that I am hosting a party at the other house tomorrow night. I think it would be great for us all to go over there and get used to the place in the morning tomorrow. The other house is a little bit bigger but the back yard is about the same size. I think you all will like it there this next week. There will be plenty of space to crash out after the party too.” I replied before taking a huge swig of my drink. Just then, Jon came out from my den with a grave look on his face. I knew he had been talking to the boss that morning.

“What's the diagnosis, Doc?” I asked as he came out, packing a new pack of cigs against his palm.

“Jost. He insists that the original team meet up with us now for security. Especially since the guys have public appearances coming up this month. So, Saki and the others are on their way here now... I know I know... don't all give me the dagger eyes at once.” Jon answered as he lit a cig and went to the back porch with it.

“Jost can kiss my good ol' American white behind! We get called in so the team gets time off and then that son of a biscuit eater wants to push his muscle around!!.. Oh he's gonna feel me now!” I replied trying not to go off too much.

“I admit Jost can be a real pain for us” Bill added, but it will be ok, maybe Saki will work well with you. I admit your techniques are different, but I think you could give him a run for his money.” Bill watched as I took the glass and washed it out in the sink.

“I could give you a run for your money too...” I stupidly mumbled out under my breath as I put the glass in the drainboard. Bill looked at Tom since he was the closest to me, wondering if he understood what I had said. Jon happened to be standing on the side of the house, right at the open kitchen window. He gave me a 'tsk tsk tsk, I heard that' look... and I got beet red.

“Well then,” I brightened up a bit, “Since you all would like to go, I suggest you all get ready to leave for the day and we can leave in about an hour if you would like.”

We all agreed and the guys got ready to go out quickly. I noticed that Bill had put just a smidge of eyeliner on but not his full black eyes, and his hair was still down for the day. I thanked God under my breath for that... I wanted some relaxing time there for them and with the spikey hair that would be impossible from first glance. Jon and I revved up the cars and got ready to go out. We headed on down the highway, I had figured it would be better to take the brand new highway 52 that ran practically through my back yard now. I grumbled something under my breath while driving that the development of man was killing off all the wildlife in the area just for stupid highways and Condos. Jon and I reached the fairgrounds within a flash and we went around the back VIP way to get in for a parking spot instead of using the main gates. It was almost lunchtime now and I knew the guys would want the whole day to look around at everything.

Jon and I guided the guys down the boardwalk area and we all walked in a small pack as the guys looked around at all the vendors and booths. Jon had the front, and I walked behind everyone. We came up on the salt water taffy place and I whistled to Jon to stop for a minute. Bill came up behind me and rested his chin on my shoulder as I ordered 3 huge bags of the mixed flavors for all of us.

“What are you getting?” Bill asked softly as he looked up at the window. I was trying to keep my composure as his breath tickled my face.

“Salt water taffy.. candy... here try some” I replied back quickly and smiling at him as I unwrapped a piece quickly and shoved it in his mouth to taste and walked away.

God, why did he DO that?! Doesn't this guy know what he does to my insides! Nein, he must not know... I am good at stone facing what is going on, it's part of my martial arts training to never let the other side see you sweat, or see your fears. If any of them do that again, I will shoot myself though.

I passed a bag of candy to Tom and he unwrapped a piece that was still a little warm and started playing with it between his fingers. He then took the piece and tried to put it on Gustav's nose. Gustav stopped walking and told Tom he was in for a food fight if he kept it up. Tom kept playing with the candy and Bill told him he was being a pervert by the way it looked.

“Hey, you can play around too” Tom replied as he threw a piece of taffy at Bill. Bill caught it and started unwrapping it to eat and Tom passed him and squished the candy all into his hand. Bill yelled out obscenities at him in German and Tom and Gustav just laughed at him. Georg was walking next to me and grabbed a few pieces from my bag to arm himself in case they came at him this time. Bill turned back at me and wondered what he should do. I considered some very dirty thoughts about eating the candy out of his hand for him. Georg must've heard them somehow, for he winked at me and said, “I think he'd like that if you tried it.” I turned back to see Bill trying to pull some of the candy off of his hand and throw it back at Tom. Tom gave me a devilish smirk and I knew he was about to get me too, or at least get me to help out Bill.

“Don't even think about it, Tom, unless you want to shave your dreds cause the Taffy won't come out!” I replied with a wicked evil smile. Tom grabbed his cap and ran up the boardwalk saying NEIN NEIN NEIN... and hiding behind Gustav for safety. I ended up grabbing a pack of travel baby wipes out of my bag and handed them to Bill so he could get the rest of the goopy stuff off of his hand. He smiled at me and I saw something different about him just then. I turned away quickly for it was what I knew I was going to see. I did not want to deal with my flashes that day. Premonitions had no place for me at that moment. I asked the guys if they wanted to go over to the games area. Gustav said something about wanting to scare Tom in the haunted house and Georg agreed with him.

We kept walking straight down the boardwalk and we got a few stares here and there from fans. A few girls came over and Jon and I were instantly in the zone when they asked for autographs. I stood between Tom and Bill and Jon was guarding Georg and Gustav for the moment. I took out some silver paint sharpies from my bag and handed them to Tom and Bill so they could sign for the fans. I turned my back and gave Tom my shoulder so he could have something to write on. His handwriting tickled me through the paper and I started laughing. He handed the autographs over and stood for pics with Bill and the girls for a few minutes. They all told them they loved them and wanted to see a show soon. Tom told them they might have something in the works for a surprise show soon and to keep a lookout on their website for more details as to how to get tickets to the show. The fans got excited and Jon and I led the guys on down to the rides and games area.

Bill and Georg kept close to me now and Tom was looking all around at what he wanted to do first. I saw Bill look up at the huge Ferris wheel and smile at Tom. He saw that the cages moved by themselves and he challenged Tom to see who could spin them the fastest without throwing up. Tom shook on it and Bill grabbed my hand and led me over to the ticket booth. I looked at him in fear and told him there was no way that I was going on there if they were going to spin it because I was not interested in getting sick. Georg pouted at me and told me I had to go and they wouldn't do it without me. I told Georg sadly that I would sit it out but next time I would go on there. I told him that he should team up with Bill and see if they could beat Gustav and Tom.

So the guys took my advice and they all ended up on the ride just as I told them too. Tom was all ready to go to see if he could show off Bill like he wanted. The Ferris wheel started to move and Tom and Gustav's cage reached the top. Tom released the lever and he and Gustav started rocking the cage back and forth to get it moving right. Bill and Georg looked up at them and started shouting that they were better than that. Just as the cage started going forward for Tom and Gustav, the ride moved backwards and Tom ended up spinning the cage in reverse going all the way down. I could hear Tom yelling out and I started laughing so hard that I had to grab a hold of Jon's shoulder to help me breathe. Bill and Georg had their cage reach the top of the wheel and they started to rock it again. This time Georg tried almost standing up and Bill leaned against the back of the cage to help get it going. I was concerned because I knew one of them would hit their heads if they kept that up. I yelled up at them because it had happened to me when I was a kid on that ride.

"Passen Sie heraus Sie zwei, Sie sich verletzt wie das auf!" ( Watch out you two, or you will hurt yourself like that!) I yelled out of instinct. Bill stopped rolling the cage for a second and looked down at me and waved O.K. Then Jon whispered that they would be fine and to stop the mother hen crap and let them have fun. I grumbled under my breath again. Jon pulled me to the side for a moment and the guys went on with their fun. I could hear Tom and Gustav behind me yelling and screaming about being the winners as Bill called out to them to watch out. I thought it was cute how much fun they were having, but as Jon pulled me aside, I grew stone faced again.

“Have you had any more flashes since they arrived?” Jon asked concerned. “ I can tell you are having trouble dealing with things when you see them now. I know you don't want anyone to know. Maybe if you talk to Bill about it one day, he will understand a lot better than you think.”

“I am not going to tell any of them anything about this anytime soon, Jon. I can't help the flashes and dreams that I have. It's in my bloodline, even if I had a daughter, she would have to deal with them. Do you have any idea what it's like, knowing tid bits of someone's life and not being able to tell anyone about it? I swear being like this can really suck at times.” I answered softly trying not to cry.

“Maybe you should have your sister come down for the weekend. I know a good talk with her will help.” Jon tried grasping at straws to help.

“No, she may be my sister but she has different views than me. Ever since our mom died, it's gotten stronger, I am the one who carries this, I will be fine. The visions and dreams have lessened a bit since they have gotten here. I won't tell them I know what will happen this summer, but I know it's nothing bad at all... only good things will come for them. I swore I would make sure of it too.”

“Just be careful of taking on too much right now, ok?” Jon scruffed my back and we turned back to the Ferris wheel to see Tom and Gustav getting out of the cage all dizzy and laughing.

Bill and Georg came out as well and Tom decided he was the best at spinning the cages since Bill and Georg got yelled at by me. I wrapped my arm over Georg's shoulder and looked back and told Tom he could wish all he wanted. Georg agreed and we strolled off to get some lunch. Bill smiled and stuck his tongue out at Tom. Tom and Gustav pouted for a minute as Bill ran up to me and Georg telling us he wanted to have more fun after lunch, but was getting hungry too and wanted something good to eat.

I told Jon we should go off to the side area and let the guys grab some grub for a bit. Jon and I decided some Texas style barbeque was up our alley, and Gustav thought that sounded great too and went with him. I watched Georg and Tom as they looked around at all the foods that they had. Tom and Bill started laughing and joking around about all the things you could eat on a stick. I decided that I would help the guys get the rest of the food and drinks and then we all sat down at a huge picnic table to eat. Near us there us there was this little stage and they had some Native American folk singers playing pan flutes and drums. By the time everyone got back to the table with all the food, it looked like a feast for all of us. We all ate and had fun and discussed what was there for the day and what to do next.

We all decided that we would walk around certain areas and look at things for a while before going back over to the games area for a little fun. The exhibits closed down when it got dark at times and they didn't want to miss anything. I asked them if we could stop by one of the arenas as there was a horse trainer in town that I knew and I wanted to say hello to her. They all thought it was cool and Gustav asked me if I rode horses. I told him I did some training when I was younger and if he wanted to ride one I could saddle one up for him. Bill started in on Gustav wanting to pet the little ponies and I laughed and said to Bill,

“Let's see how well YOU can ride a horse, Bill!” as I turned to him and winked. Bill's face went white and Tom said to him,

“See, I told you... your dare came up first!”

Bill just looked away from me, picked up his drink and said nothing back to Tom at all. I looked at Tom and wanted him now to spill the secret Twin thing going on and tell me what his dare for Bill was.

“Tell me Tom, what did you dare Bill to do?” I asked with a smirk on my face as I looked at Bill and how hard he tried to hide his ****** off attitude in front of me.

“I dared Bill to do something so unlike himself while he was here. That he had to try something new that no one would expect him to do.” Tom revealed before popping a French fry into his mouth and smirking at Bill again.

“Bill, just because Tom is your twin brother doesn't mean you have to listen to his mouth, If you don't want to take the dare, you don't have to.” I added in as Bill tried to finish his lunch.

“Nein, it's ok... I want to. Will you show me how?” Bill answered me back with a straight face.

OMG... what in Hades had gotten into these guys this last week? Tom makes the dare and now I am going to teach Bill Kaulitz how to horseback ride Western style? What on Earth!! I guess that I could do that... I mean... (flash) I now see Bill in my head as he is feeding hay to one of the horses as I help my friend Jennifer put the saddle on a spotted Mare. I look at Jon quickly and he is downing a bottle of Budwiser and then looks back at me.

“Don't worry, Bill.. she's the best teacher you will ever have. Right hun, you can do anything you SEE fit to do.” Jon emphasized the word so I knew he could tell why I looked at him with puppy eyes just then.

“Ok Bill, I will let you ride with me after lunch, you don't have to be on the horse alone either if you don't want to. Some of them can be pretty tricky, especially Jen's horses.” I smiled back at Bill and reached across the table to pat his hand in reassurance. Bill turned his hand over and held mine for a moment as he looked back at me through his sunglasses. I knew this was a turning point for all of us, and nothing in my house would be the same once we got back.





CHAPTER 3:


We entered the riding arena and I saw Jen at the far end making a pony practice a Cantor. I was amazed at how far she had come over the years. I called out her nickname and she came over to me on the horse. Jon and the other guys sat in the stands for a moment as I straddled the fence and hopped over. Jen stopped and I petted the ponies head for a moment. I looked back at Bill and he was watching me. Jen almost freaked out when she recognized them and begged me to let her hang out with them. I told her it was a deal only if she let me show off on the horses a bit and then saddle one up for them to ride. Jen was trying to breathe and told me that I could use Black Stallion and then Bill could ride that horse too to complete the dare. I looked back and I saw them all getting up and coming towards us now. I introduced Jen to all of them and she did her best to not drool all over Georg and Gustav, she wasn't so sure of what to think about Bill and Tom.


I grabbed Tom by the shoulder and pulled him to the stable areas. Tom tried to grab on to Gustav for help but Gustav was slick enough to move. I told Tom as I was about to grab a handful of his dreds,

“Tom, since you made the dare on Bill... you get the horse first!” Tom started whimpering and Bill had a look of satisfaction on his face as he waved goodbye to Tom. I took Tom with me and showed him how big Black Stallion was. He was almost as big as a Clydesdale. Tom had this look on his face that said “DA*& BI*%&^ I ain't getting' on THAT thing!” I reassured Tom that it would be fine as I had ridden 'Blacky' as I liked to call him, a couple of times for Renaissance events and he was perfectly harmless.

Blacky didn't take much time for me to saddle up and Tom stood there watching me with his arms crossed. I pulled him outta the stall and told him to hop on. Tom climbed up the edge of the stall and got onto Blacky's back and looked at me like, “Now what?” I jumped onto Blacky behind Tom and clicked my tongue as I handed Tom the reigns to hold on. I told Tom to lean forward for just a sec so I could grab them too and control the horse better for him. Once both of us were holding the reigns tight, I clicked my tongue again as I dug my boots into Blacky's flanks and tore outta the stables and into the arena like lightning. I almost knocked Georg over as he quickly moved out of the way and he grabbed Tom's cap as it flew off of him. He knew Tom would freak if he got a brand new one dirty. I had Blacky tear down to the end of the arena, race around a barrel and then I jumped him over a hug puddle of water. Tom started yelling at me and I had a big grin on my face.

All the guys were laughing and Bill had the giggles. I stopped Blacky right in front of everyone and let Tom slink down to the ground. Tom smacks Bill and says,”Oh yeah, you get up there, that chick's crazy man!” Bill realized it was his turn now and he stopped laughing. He looked up at me like I was the Angel of Death. Tom grabbed at Bill's hat and his sunglasses and Bill just stood there and didn't move. I reached my hand down to Bill and he looked up at me with second thoughts.

“Trust me, Bill. I won't bite. It'll be fine. I swear I won't do what I did to Tom, honest.” I said quietly as I reached for his arm. Bill walked closer and I pulled him up to sit behind me this time on the horse. Jen came around on a white horse now that she was getting ready to train.

“Don't be afraid, Bill. We will go easy on you.. at first.” Jen joked at him as she winked. Bill grabbed me wondering what she meant by that. I took the reigns and Bill held onto me for dear life. I took a sharp breath in as he leaned closer and I trotted Blacky out to the barrel and then made him run faster from there. Bill was not so afraid after the first 3 runs and he ended up letting go of me and raising his hands in the air as I slowed the horse down to a stop.

“No, do what you did with Tom too. It's ok.. I wanna do that now.” Bill leaned forward and said quietly to me. I turned my head and replied with a nod as I clicked a signal to Blacky, and the horse snorted and nodded it's head. I trotted him back into the stable area and told Bill he would have to hold on again because I did not want to risk him falling off. I handed Bill the reigns and showed him how to lace them between his hands properly. I grabbed onto the mane hair of Blacky and then clicked again. Blacky tore out of the stables once more and headed for the barrel. Bill started to scream “NOT SO FAST!” but I ignored him and let Blacky have his fun. Instead of the puddle this time that I jumped for Tom, I directed Blacky over to a double set of fences. Bill looked petrified as I pulled Blacky around the corner of the arena and headed for them on the straight away. I jumped Blacky on the first one and Bill grabbed me as well as the reigns and dug his face into my shoulder blade. I laughed and jumped the second fence easily as well. I then trotted Blacky out of it all and returned back to where the group of guys were watching and they all clapped for how brave Bill was about it.

I let Bill down and Tom gave him an impressed look as he slapped his hat back on Bill's head and handed him his sunglasses back. Bill caught his breath and Jon handed him a bottle of water. Bill took it and drank down a hug gulp just as quiet as a mouse Tom says with a devilish smirk on his face to Bill,

“So Bill, did she give you a good ride?”

Bill spit out his water and hoped I did not understand what Tom said to him in German. He looked at his twin with fire in his eyes. He was not getting into that discussion with Tom in front of me right about now. Tom knew that he had gotten to Bill with that comment and he just nodded a “Yeah I bet she did” look on his face as Bill turned away from him. I thanked Jen for the horse rides and told her I would call her later. I took a bottle of water from Jon as well and Tom winked at me.

“What did I do?” I innocently smirked at Tom and walked off. I met up with Gustav who was adjusting his baseball cap and grabbing his backpack and told him we should go have some fun together. I turned back around as I slid my arm around Gustav's shoulders and grabbed a hold of Georg as well. I turned around and stuck my tongue out at Tom then. Bill and Tom looked at each other and Tom saw that Bill was still ****** at him for a moment. Tom understood why now and he knew that he would have to talk to Bill seriously that night about why he was copping an attitude about it.

Georg saw a small arena of bumper cars ahead and he told Tom he wanted a rematch with him. Tom began to snicker and tell him it was no contest and he shouldn't even try it. I told Tom that it was bumper cars and NOT a race track. Tom looked over at it and then gave a 'phsstt.. forget it then' ... wave of his hand.

Up ahead I saw the huge Teddy bears hanging up. I looked at Georg and challenged him to a game for one. He agreed with a smile and we ended up getting the water machine gun game to play. I think the aim on my gun was off because Georg won all the games. He high-fived Gustav that was sitting next to him and he picked out this huge Sponge Bob Squarepants doll and hands it over to Tom saying,

“Hope you like him... Now Bill can stop teasing you about your teddy bear!” and then Tom decided to challenge Georg to a different game to change it in for something else. Gustave told them they should do the basketball game so Tom could actually look like he played sports like that. Tom puffed out his chest with pride and walked over to the hoops and tried it. He missed terribly as it bounced back off the rim. I walked over to Tom and whispered to him that the ball may be round but the hoop was an oval and the only way to win was for the ball to go straight in without hitting anything. Tom gave that little satisfactory look on his face and tried it. He got it straight in and Georg was giving me a look. I walked over to Georg and told him the same secret as a whisper so the Carnie couldn't hear me. Georg shot the basketball and got it through as well.
They both looked at each other and I laughed and walked away for them to deal with who gets the prize by themselves.

Bill was standing over by Jon and he pulled me over to where he was standing and asked me if I had ever played this one game with all these pretty drinking glasses in a pyramid. I nodded yes and asked Bill if he wanted to play the game with me. Bill finally noticed that some of the glass jars were filled with fish as he got closer. He yelled over to Gustav to come to his side of the booth so he could show him this exotic looking black and white striped angel fish in a large glass near the middle. Gustav thought is was really cool and he and Bill tried to win it. I decided I could get in on the game too so I stood to one side and let us all take turns throwing the ping pong balls into the glasses. Bill threw a couple but only 2 of the balls stayed on the table. Gustav threw his and he got 2 as well. I came up close to Bill and I threw the ping pong balls and got all 5 in the glasses. I jumped up and down and Bill was excited and clapped. I turned to him and told him to pick which fish he wanted. The Carnie turned to me and told me that I won all the fish that the balls landed in. He put the fish in large plastic bags and then handed them to Bill.

Bill turns to Georg and Tom as they walk up and has a big smile on his face.

“Look at my new fishies, Tom!” Bill almost squealed out. Tom had a look on his face and Georg made a snide remark to Bill in German about not talking about “FISH” infront of a lady. Jon understood that joke and he coughed into his hand and laughed as he lit a cigarette. He then leaned into the group of guys and muttered in German,

“Don't worry about her... she's got a dirty mind at times that would make Sailors come screaming out of a bar... and we are not talking the Gay one's either!” The whole group of guys turned and I got a group stare for a just a moment. I innocently pushed a strand of hair from my face and looked back at them. I knew then Jon had said something and I gave him my evil eye stare over my sunglasses. Tom said that Jon better watch out with a look like that. Jon whispered back to Tom and Bill that if the fans were always talking about how they drool over the illustrious Kaulitz “EYE RAPE”... then they would Not be able to handle mine when I dished it out. Bill and Tom simultaneously licked their lips and raised their brows at me for that one.

The fun went on until it started to get dark and the guys ran around the place like little kids. As the sun went down I told Jon that we should head out and get ready for the fireworks coming up. I told Jon that we should head on out to the beach for a little while before everyone started leaving the fair. Jon agreed and we found a way out to the cars and all of us hopped in. Jon knew some guys that had a house right near there with beach access. We went down the hill and drove the SUV's as close to the beach as we could without getting stuck in the sand. It just so happened that Jon's good friends were out on the beach that night and had started a bonfire in the firepit. I went around and said hello to all the guys. They were hard core rockers and metal heads but they were sitting outside having an unplugged jam session. Jon and I introduced the guys to them and they had a warm welcome from the burly group.



Georg was talking to Jon's best friend about a few things and the friend let Georg play his acoustic Bass for a little bit as they talked. Bill and Gustav curled up in these really nice beach chairs and talked every once and a while. Tom was getting in on the conversation with Georg when he had noticed a few popping noises behind him. I sat in the sand on a towel as I usually did and stared up at the sky for a moment. I was right across from where Bill was sitting in front of me. The fireworks had started and I saw him staring up at them and pointing to the ones he liked to Gustav. I looked up again and I had not noticed for a few minutes that Bill's gaze had dropped. Instead of looking up in the sky at the fireworks, Bill was watching how the lights reflected upon my eyes for a moment, as if he was trying to see how I saw them. I suddenly felt the same feeling that I did the first day they arrived and I caught a glimpse of the electric heartbeat out of Bill. I dropped my head and met his gaze dead on. I looked back for a moment and saw his curiosity of me. I wondered what he was thinking and I dropped my head, ran my hands through my hair and got up.

Bill turned to Tom and gave him a puppy dog look, wondering what he did wrong as I went and grabbed the pack of cigs outta my bag and lit one. I didn't give a rat's behind if I wasn't supposed to be smoking, I wanted to down the whole pack after meeting that gaze of Bill's. Tom looked at me and held a finger up to Bill telling him to wait a few minutes for him to figure out what happened. Tom watched me as I took the pack and lighter and walked down the beach toward the sand away from everyone. Jon looked over his shoulder and saw me go and sit down. Then he looked back at Tom and wondered what Tom wanted to know. Tom looked over his shoulder at Bill to let Jon know it was HIS fault. Jon laughed and signaled to them that I just needed a “time out” if there was a quiet “eye rape” moment from someone. Tom nodded and Bill started to feel upset that he did something wrong to make me mad and I would give him **** for it when we got back. Jon nodded a “No, it's not like that” to Bill and Bill calmed down for a bit as Jon decided that he needed a “chill pill” as well. He tossed Bill and the guys a couple of drinks and they all sat back and enjoyed themselves.

I sat alone with my thoughts for a few minutes. I grumbled under my breath knowing I would lose it if I kept in what was going on in my head. Because of certain events of my past, if I ever liked someone more than friends, I never let anyone know about it unless they were close to me. So far, the only one that knew anything about my flashes and how I would eventually feel towards Bill, only Jon knew. I told him in an attempt to get him to smack me out if it. He was rooting FOR this, not against it. DARN HIM! So what happens now, I fall for Bill Kaulitz and then they go back to Germany, with their original team re-instated soon and he forgets all about me. Great, just my darned luck. I picked up a rock and skipped it across the water as I heard a voice come from behind me as Tom sat down.

“Is everything o.k. Tonight? I have not seen you so quiet before. Did someone say or do something wrong to you?” Tom tried not to give me the third degree as I looked over my shoulder with little glimmery jade eyes. I could NOT believe that Tom came and sat down right as I was tearing up. This was un frickin believable! ME.. solid and unbending, getting all weepy... just was not gonna happen... but then it did. I took my fingers and wiped away the water at the base of eyes before they really fell down.

“Tom, I will be o.k. I am just not used to talking things like this out with people. You and Bill are close enough to talk anything out. I am sure if there is anything going on, Bill would let you know.” I managed to get out softly.

“But Bill is not the one who walked away, sat alone and started to cry about something, this is not about Bill right now, this is about YOU.” Tom said matter-of-factly. I knew he was right, I just had to find the way to explain what was going on.

“I will do my best, Tom, to explain things. All I can say is that my emotions about what is going on right now are very stormy. I feel like this huge black storm is building over me containing lightning and thunder, but it's hidden in a small box right now... and tonight, Bill opened the lid to look inside.” I fiddled with some rings on my right hand and hugged my knees just a little. I felt so stupid and childish just then.

“I will tell you this... whatever Bill saw... he can handle it. I know I would be able too, and I wouldn't underestimate Bill in any way... there is a LOT more to Bill than meets the eye. He keeps things under wraps a lot, as I can see now you do too. And you know from being in this field how things get for people like us. I will assure you that when the time comes to go home again, Bill will not want to go.” Tom replied in a sort of YODA-ish way.

I looked back at the group and realized within what Tom was saying. I figured everything would end up fine. After all... I was supposed to know all of this already... but not every detail. Tom helped me up and told me we should get back, he thought maybe everyone would be getting tired and want to wrap it up. I could tell that Bill was getting a little tired from where I was sitting and I nodded to Tom and he headed back to the group a little faster than me as I brushed of the sand and headed to the fire pit to help clean up. Bill sleepily looked up as Tom came near him. Tom gave him the thumbs up sign and mouthed to him “details later” and Bill was shocked that Tom was able to get anything out of me at all.

The ride back to my house was quiet as it was almost midnight now. Everyone had a great night and Tom reassured Bill that he would spill the beans about what I said to him just as soon as they were able to talk alone that night. I pulled up into the driveway and let everyone into the house. All the guys stretched and went upstairs to put their things away. I went into my office and checked messages and then I came back out. Tom was in the kitchen grabbing something to drink before heading upstairs and Bill was right in the hallway about to follow Gustav and Georg up. I stopped before almost smacking into him. Tom stopped drinking his glass of water and looked at us hesitant to see what would happen. I looked at Bill and smiled.

”Don't forget to put your fish away.... Good night, Bill.” I said softly as I leaned forward to give him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. I walked upstairs to my room and closed the door. Bill just looked up and followed me with his eyes until I shut the door. He turned back and looked at Tom and had a piercing glare that said “what did you say to her!?” Tom motioned to go upstairs and talk since he didn't want anyone else hearing in on the secretive things. Bill walked slowly upstairs and flopped on the bed again, utterly exhausted and I heard from my room Tom go up and lock the door behind him.

CHAPTER 4:

I loaded the guys up into the car about 9 am the nest morning and headed over the the other house. I had not been over there in about a month now, so I was hoping that everything would be alright. After all the tensions in the other house getting used to having the guys around, I thought it would be good to have some space here and there as well. I knew I needed to let loose and be more of myself around the guys now. I just wasn't sure how to do it. We reached the house now and I had Jon let the guys in. I was last to walk into the house, and as I did, I got another flash.

I saw us all in the kitchen and Tom was talking to my older brother, and the two of them decided to put one of the dares back upon ME after what I did yesterday. I stood motionless in the front foyer of the house and Georg turned around and looked at me. I started to wobble and he and Gustav jumped towards me and caught me as I started to faint to the floor. They sat me down on the steps going to the living room. I slumped forward and my head was buried between Georg's neck and shoulder. God the guy has a nice build, I thought to myself. I had fainted to where I blacked out, but I was still conscious. Georg held onto me as Tom turned around and saw me fall. He ran to the bathroom next to him and grabbed the plastic cup on the sink and got me some water. He came out with a really scared look in his eyes.

“ Sheisse, Georg! What did you do to her?” Tom shouted, not knowing what happened.

“I did nothing, she just fell!” Georg replied as he moved my head. Tom looked at me and I was pale as a ghost. My eyes were a little bit glassy too. I had not fainted and blacked out this bad since I was a kid. I did not want to frighten anyone. Tom tried to hand me the cup of water and I could not see it. Tom frowned and looked at Gustav and Gustav shrugged at him. Bill came back into the room from the kitchen and his jaw dropped.

“Why won't she drink it?” Gustav asked softly as he came closer. I tried to shake the blackness but it was like a bad reception on a TV screen right now, I could hear everyone, I just could not SEE them. I reached out blindly and I ended up grabbing Tom's leg. He took my hand and put the cup in it, and helped me drink it. Bill sat petrified until Georg got up and went to get Jon. He whispered to Bill to watch over me, and he grabbed Bill's arm and wrapped it around my shoulders. I tried to stand up, even though I was still shaking of the blackness, and I crashed down again into Bill. Bill held me and whispered,

“What happened, are you sick?” I turned and wrapped my arm around Bill's neck and buried my face in his shoulder as I got a wave of dizziness come over me. Oh God, Bill smelled so **** good. I thought I would be shaking and get even worse as Bill held onto me and I would feel that electric shocking heartbeat from him. But no... this was different. This was like drowning, this was like Fire and Ice. Whatever it was, I was coming out of the blackness because of it.

“Bill?” I whimpered for a moment. “Fainting spells.. I am so sorry. I have not had one this bad since I was a little kid in this house. I walked in and my memories flooded me. I get dizzy and I just blacked out, as if I went blind. I did not mean to frighten you.” I whispered.

Bill helped me up and I was able to see again. I stood on my feet and I gave Bill a huge hug once more. I didn't want to ever let go of him after that... but I stood up and looked at Jon. Jon gave me his knowing look and escorted me by holding my left arm with Bill on my right and taking me into the kitchen area of the house. I sat down at the kitchen Bar and Bill sat on a barstool next to me. Suddenly, someone came walking in the front door yelling,

“Lucy!!.... I'm Ho-OME!!” A wave of relief crashed over me and I heard the guy come into the kitchen.

“Danny!” I squealed out and jumped out from my chair practically bear hugging the guy. “Hey everybody... I want you all to meet my big brother Dan.” I excitedly get out as I look at everyone. Bill and Tom look at each other and then Gustav looks at me and my brother and laughs really hard.

“Look you guys, it's the two of you in a few years!” Gustav jokes to them. Danny and I look at Tom and Bill and then back at each other... we understood now. Danny and l were not twins, but we looked a hella lot a like. Danny was 12 years older than me. He kept the long dirty blonde hair over the years, but instead having dreds, someone had braided it for him into corn rows that he had in a pony tail at the nape of his neck. My hair had darkened a little and I was always dying it different colors anyways. This year it was a dark Mocha brown. I was the only one in the family that had eyes of straight green. Our father had hazel eyes and our mother had blue, but most of the kids came out with hazel brownish green eyes, like Danny's, except for me.

“Yeah, I can see that.” Danny looked down at me. “So what's lickin' Chicken?” He smirked out at me. I gave him back my famous Billy Idol grin.

“Well, you must be here for the party this weekend... so you have to play tonight!”

“Hmm... thought you would want me too. I have the gear in my truck.” Danny winked at me.

“Hey man... you can't just play alone.” Jon interrupted. “Are we getting the guys together tonight for a jam?” Jon asked. Danny looked back at him and grinned.

“Well.. yeah that would be great if we were a straight instrumental band. But we kinda need a LEAD SINGER.... Danny emphasized as he looked at me.” I decided I didn't care who was in the room, I was going into Ballistic Drama Queen mode right then.
“ Oh **** NO! I am NOT going to sing at the party tonight!” I wave my hands in the air and I walk around the bar into the kitchen and open the fridge. Thank the Gods Maria had filled it up for me with what I asked her to get. Jon leaned over the bar right next to Tom and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Tom.. since you guys have your dares, you wanna have a little fun and expand on it?” Jon asked him with a devilish smile as Jon and Tom now looked me up and down as if I was a piece of meat. Tom smiled real wide and then looked back at Bill. Tom then whispered something back to Jon and then he and Jon shaked hands on it.

“I am ignoring you now, Tom. You are probably gonna come up with some perverted sicko thing anyway for me to do.” I respond as I lean into the fridge to grab some food.

“I think the guys and I can come up with something.” Tom responded as he looked at my brother. I rolled my eyes and looked at Bill.

“See Bill! Us babies in the family always get picked on.” I answered and winked at Bill as I sat down next to him and started preparing some food for the party.

“I think it would be nice to hear you sing.” Bill replied. “Jon told me you could really rock the house when you were 17... and then one day you just quit. ” Bill started playing with some toothpicks that I had out in front of me.

“I did a lot of things years ago, Bill. It doesn't mean that I still have what it takes.” I tried not to go there in my mind as to what made me quit.

I got screwed by my close friends and my band didn't make it out right, I had me to play keys, guitar and sing and another guitarist but she got upset at me when I wanted to move outta my house to be closer to some guy I was dating. We had differences of opinion and I went off ****** off and did acid with some friends in Ocean Beach. I almost died that night when I drove home drunk and stoned in my anger. I had no idea what was really going on. I was alone after I saw my boyfriend wanting to get it on with the slut that we were hanging with... and I was having feelings for her guy and she knew it. That whole week for me was bad. Friends betrayed me because they were jealous, I lost my band contract and my boyfriend cheated on me, all within 72 hours. I wanted to die! I took a thumb tack and heated it up and burned my ex boyfriend's initial of the letter “J” into my right hand. Some kids would cut themselves when they were hurting, I did this to myself. Then when I was all done, my friends did not think I was serious when I said that I lost it all. I drove out to the cliff for the first time. I stood there in the middle of the night, tears streaming down my face and clouds forming on the horizon as a storm brewed. Back then, there was no fence or platform there, and I got as close to the edge as I could. I leaned over because I heard some sea lions below me. I slipped and fell, going over the edge of the cliff. I turned and reached frantically for the vines in the dirt and clung on for dear life as my legs dangled over the edge. I pulled myself back up and laid on the dirt as thunder cracked overhead and the rain came pouring down soaking me. I laid there in the rain and just cried. Everyone told me I was going to be a star someday, and I did my best to believe them, I wanted it so bad... I lived and breathed my music. And one day, it was all gone to me, and my life didn't have meaning anymore.

And now, Bill... he just took the jumper paddles and applied them to my soul without yelling out 'CLEAR' and I gasped... feeling as if I was brought back to life with what he just said to me. At that moment, I knew all why Spring Nicht and Rette Mich meant so much to me... I was meant to live on, and to actually feel loved by someone someday. At that moment, I fell in love with Bill in deep in my heart, he had saved my soul.

“What the **** do you want me to do, Jon!? If you are gonna make MY dare worse than Bill's then what the **** is it!” I screamed out. I didn't have to ask, I already knew it.

“Well, I think I am going to blend in two things at once. See Bill, it's a rare occasion to hear our little Mari sing now, or to see her in a dress.” Jon winks at Bill about me. “Both are pretty spectacular and unforgettable when it happens. So.. I think that your dare my dear would be to sing a whole set with us tonight.. IN A DRESS!”

“Where are the kitchen knives?!” I joke... oh God kill me now! “ Wouldn't you guys rather hear someone like Bill sing tonight?” I look around batting my lashes.

Everyone shook their heads no. ****-it... I look at Bill and he has a serious look in his eyes.

“I think you should. Something tells me you need too, if Jon and your brother can't convince you, do it for me, please?” Bill softly spoke as he stared straight at me. The paddles jumped started my heart again and I felt as if I was drowning. Bill... wanting to hear me sing, hear my music, and he said PLEASE... do it for him... my whole world was spinning.

“Yes Bill, I will do it... but only because of you. Because you asked me so kindly.” I said softly back as tears formed in my eyes. “You will have to excuse me, I need to call some people now... Danny please finish this for me.” I said quickly as I ran out of the kitchen quickly and up to my mom and dad's old room. I slammed the double doors shut and I cried as I slunk down to the carpet. I had to call some back up support. I had some great friends that I knew would come to the party that weekend, I dialed them as quick as I could.

“Hey Mari!”

“Andi, get dressed.. you are coming to a party at my place this weekend! Don't even say no your parent's wont let you cause I know they will.”

“But, I was gonna go out with Shannon this afternoon!”

“Screw it! BOTH of you get your behinds over here. NOW!”

“Well.. if you are gonna be like that then I don't wanna go to some stupid cocktail party with all your adult friends... I don't even have a nice dress like that.”

“It's a Rock and Roll Barbeque party.. AND I forgot to mention that I was the one who was Hiding Tokio Hotel... they will be there tonight!”

(silent screams and squeals over the phone as I pull it away to prevent myself from going deaf.)

“ohh... and I did mention that you have to bring a bathing suit? I am sure you would just LOVE to be with Tom sitting in the hot tub in the back.”

(more squealing)

“ahh Mein Gott!! are you serious! I am gonna KILL YOU if I see Tom with his shirt off!”

“Andi.. I need you here... they told me I have to sing at the party tonight... Bill.... HE... he asked me too.”

(line goes silent)

“Mari... didn't you tell me a dream you had a dream about this a year ago... where you said you saw Tokio Hotel at a party in your house?”

“Yes Andi, I did.”

“What are you gonna do? Your dreams are coming true... quite literally in your case. I am like.. I don't know what to say or do.... do you know what to do?”

“I am gonna do what Bill asked me to do, and I am not going to be afraid anymore. He just jumped started my life again Andi, he pulled me off that cliff again with what he just said.”

(I started sobbing)

“O.K. Mari.... ok ok ok ....I know what you went through... calm down... it'll be ok. You must be really scared, but if you are going to do this for Bill.... I want to be there.”

“Andi... I... I gotta wear a dress too.”

(hysterical laughing)

“Oh God, Bill has no idea what he's in for then!”

“So you're coming then?”

“Yeah, forget Shannon.. I am on my way.”

(click)


I laid on my bed for moment and stared up at the ceiling. I heard a knock on the door. I sat up and wiped my face with a tissue.

“What is it?” I replied in a *****y mood. Tom knocked again as he opened the door a little.

“You were crying again.. that's not good. Umh... I need to talk to you about something....” Tom stood in the doorway and stuffed his hands in his enormous pants pockets. I patted the space on the bed next to me telling Tom to come in. He left the door open and flopped on the bed next to me.

“This bed is huge.” he started out

“Yeah, California King” I answered.

“So...” Tom tried for the words.

“So...” I replied softly.

“I know something... a secret... and I am not sure how to tell you it.” Tom started out.

“Well.. if it's a secret, then you shouldn't be telling it, right?” I replied.

“If I don't tell this secret, then two people will miss something wonderful, and I care about them both... I don't want to see them lose out on something that could be really great.” Tom said rolling over onto his stomach and looking up at me.

“You feel that this shouldn't be a secret then... ok... well... you can tell me... you know I will keep it.”

“I know... but this secret... it's ABOUT you.... umh... and... and ... Bill. We had a long talk last night... and... he has something he wants to tell you...”

“Really... well you all work hard and if he wants time away or doesn't want my team here or anything like that... he can tell me and I will make arrangements to release everyone over.”

“No...” Tom gulped and sat up. “Bill is... from what I know... he's falling for you... and I have not seen it like this before... I mean.. .he's Bill... but last night... he was actually stumped as to what to do next... he was not expecting this to happen to him this way and he finally admitted to me last night how he felt.” My eyes grew wide and I looked at Tom like he was nuts.

“And you are telling me.... does Bill know you are telling me this right now?” I whisper realizing that the door was still open. Tom nods to the door and I realize that he meant Bill was outside the door listening. I sat up straight and prepared a response... and slightly loud enough for Bill to hear from hiding behind the door.

“Well... I have been keeping secrets too, Tom. I... fell for Bill the moment I saw him get off the plane a month ago... I have been holding it in... It's hard for me to concentrate on work when ever he's around.. which is why I am stone faced sometimes... the more stone faced I was around you and Bill... the more I felt something towards him and was trying to cover it up.” Tom nodded at me.

“And haven't you noticed that Bill has been doing the same thing lately? You and Bill have it bad for each other... I had to say something to break this whole tense moment thing... I think one of you needs to make a move... this party... let it out... get wild... show Bill who you are when you are not working so hard... let it go.” Tom reached for my hand and held it... I looked at him and I broke out in chuckles.

“God who died and made you YODA!?” I managed to get out. I leaned forward and gave Tom a huge bear hug and then kissed him on his cheek. I heard some feet going down the stairs and Tom and I just stood still for a moment hugging each other until we didn't hear anything anymore. Finally I pulled back a sec and said to Tom,

“You wanna party?” Tom gave me a big smile and he grabbed my hand and we ran down the stairs and back into the kitchen laughing.

“What the **** got into you two?” Jon asked as he was preparing his famous BBQ sauce for the grill.

“Nuttin'....” I reply as I wink at Tom. “I just decided how far I am willing to go on this dare tonight. You have no idea what you started.” I smiled wide. Jon and Danny stood close together now and cocked their heads so they almost met and gave me a funny look and I could not stop laughing and smiling.

“Umh.... Tom... did you and my sister just....” Danny kinda winked at Tom making the suggestions to him that something sexual could've occurred when he came upstairs. Tom looked at me and smiled and then looked at Bill before he turned around to face my brother again.

“Nah man... I wish.. she's hot.. but unfortunately she's taken.”

“It's o.k. Tom I have a date for you tonight too for the party...” I slip in. Tom looks at me wide eyed. “Do you think I would have you at one of my parties without calling in some pretty girls right?” I slyly add to it. Tom starts to blush at me.

“What are their names?” Tom asked with a smirk on his face.

“THEIR names?.... I have only one special person I called.. you will have to deal with that. Trust me... when she is here... it will be like 4 girls are after you.” I snicker back at Tom.



I finish up helping with some of the food and then I tell the guys to spread out and pick which one of the bedrooms they were gonna take for the rest of the month. There was enough room for each of them to have their own room if they wanted, one of them would get the den room if they so desired, I didn't mind even though it was constructed from the old garage. But I wanted them in the main part of the house so no one could slip in and bother them. Well.. they are adults now, I figured I would let it go. I walked up to my room and I noticed one of Bill's bags sitting next to the balcony door. I sighed... Bill DID hear Tom and I talking. I pushed the curtain back and I saw Bill leaning over the balcony and staring through the trees towards the golf course in the distance.

“Bill...” I started softly as I walked up to him. He turned and looked back at me slowly. “You heard what I said to Tom, didn't you?” I said as I walked up to him. He did not believe what he had heard earlier. I walk up and snuggle against Bill gently and he moves so he wraps his arm around me and I am now standing between him and the railing. Bill took a deep breath and rested his head on my shoulder as he placed his hands on the railing in front of me.

“I was not sure... I was not expecting Tom to do that... but you know how Tom is by now. I wanted to say something... I just did not know what to say... or when to say it.... so I guess you know now.” Bill sighed and he was taking a breath to ramble on more. I turned around and placed my finger on Bill's lips saying “shhh” gently, and then I leaned forward and planted a kiss on him to shut him up. It startled Bill for about 5 seconds until he gave in and started kissing me back. The next thing we knew.. we were getting soaked with a hose and a huge water balloon comes soaring over the balcony and smashes open against the door. Bill and I jump apart and I run to the edge of the balcony.

“GUSTAV I AM GONNA KILL YOU!!” I scream out as Gustav falls into the grass holding his stomach and laughing. Tom comes jumping out from the side of the yard and smacks a water balloon right against Gustav's chest, and Gustav gets up and runs after him down the walk to the side door of the den room downstairs. Bill and I run downstairs to try and find out where the water balloons came from. I reach the backyard and no one is there now but I see Georg pointing out the window to the side yard. I look toward the front of the house and I can hear guests arriving. I now see through the back door and I hear Bill telling Tom that I am going to kill him as Tom and Gustav raid the fridge for supplies. Bill tries to see what Gustav and Tom are hiding and he backs away from the fridge as Tom starts shaking up cans of whipped cream. He sprays one on Gustav and then runs into the Den room. Just as Tom goes out the side door, the side gate opens up and I hear Andi screaming.

“You didn't tell me BRAD PITT was gonna be here!” Smack... just as Andi comes running in , Gustav goes flying by her spraying Tom with whipped cream. Tom smacks right into Andi and they both go down to the ground with Andi landing on Tom's bare chest... and whipped cream all over his face and Gustav spraying the rest of his can in Tom's hair. Bill and I come running around the back of the house laughing at Tom.

“I see you like to make and Entrance, Andi. Tom, this is Andi.. she's your date for tonight.” Tom gets beet red and Tries to help Andi up. Georg comes up between Bill and myself and peers over our shoulders.

“Geez Tom, she just got here and already you getting down and dirty with her.” Georg quips at Tom. I help Tom and Andi up and get them to shake hands. Whipped cream dripping off of Tom now to the ground. “Tom, You should take her inside and wash up for the party.” Georg adds.

Bill winks at Tom now, “Mariana, don't they have a drought in California now? Maybe they should save water and get clean another way.” Bill adds in. Tom runs over to Bill and shakes his dreds all over near Bill to try and get whipped cream on him.

“Hey now... I gladly volunteer to clean Bill up... you, Tom.... need to be hosed off!” I tell Tom as I try not to laugh too hard. I take Andi upstairs to my room to shower and change for the party as I leave the guys to hose themselves down and cool off.

Chapter 5:



“Does that feel any better Andi?” I ask from my dressing area as Andi comes out of the shower. “Oh... and what was this about Brad Pitt?”

“Brad Pitt!... yeah, long hair about Tom's length... not dreds though... but braided.. why did he do that? I just saw him leave the house... he winked at me and then took off in your car!” Andi rambled back at me.

“Honey-child... that's not Brad Pitt... Brad hasn't looked THAT good in years.... that's my 2nd oldest brother, Danny.” I replied with a smirk as I leaned around the closet.

“What's wrong?” Andi questioned me.

“I don't know what to wear tonight.. I am stumped... I have picked a few things out and laid them on the bed but....” I trail off wanting to bite my nails.

“Stop that!” Andi comes around and smacks my hand outta my mouth.

“O.K. Now... you have to wear a dress.... hmm... well... THIS will not do!” Andi points to my hottest pair of leather pants and throws them back at me, just as she looks up and sees something poking out of my closet. “Ohhh... now WHAT is that little number?” Andi asks staring at it.

“Oh **** NO!” I began... I don't know what I was thinking... that thing will be skin tight on me and I would end up looking like Posh Spice or some sheisse like that... NO WAY!” I tried to run and block Andi from rifulling through my closet but I was too late.

“No, Mari.. .THIS!.. It's Gorgeous! And I think you will have ALL the guys drooling if you wear this!” Andi got excited as she pulled a Candy Apple Red and black corseted dress out of my closet. “Girl... with a pair of fishnets... I don't think Bill will be able to MOVE... you So gotta wear this when you sing for him tonight!”

“oh.. alright... that was something that I got when I was trying to do a Rockabilly show when I was 18.... yeah... I think I can manage something like this for tonight... O.K. Cool... I think this will work...” I ponder the outfit with Andi before going downstairs to check on things.

I take Andi downstairs to hang with everyone for a little while. It's almost 3 in the afternoon now and Jon had the grill ready to fire up and they were cleaning out and testing the water of the hot tub in the back and getting it ready for guests. I showed Andi around the house and got her a soda. I wondered what was up with the guys as I didn't see Tom and Bill hanging out anywhere and Jon and Gustav were hanging out in the backyard. Gustav told me the rest of the guys were in the Den watching a movie. I slyly turn to Andi and whisper to her that we should crash the movie and sit down in front of all the guys... or stand in front of the TV and not move. Andi gave me the “Oh god, I gotta be in the same room as TOM KAULITZ!' look. I yanked her by the arm and went back into the house. I listened with the door closed between the kitchen and den for a moment. It was quiet and you couldn't hear anything but the surround sound for the big screen I had put in there. I turned the knob and swung open the door and sauntered in to the room quickly pulling Andi by the hand. I stood for a moment in the room and looked at the screen. The guys were all watching some action film. I made Andi sit on the end of the first couch over by Tom and she gave me a small wimpering look. I stuck my tongue out at her quickly and then walked over to the larger couch and sat down between Bill and Georg.

My brother Danny just came back in my car as I heard him pull up and open the garage door behind me. I snuggled into Bill's shoulder and watched the movie for a while as Danny opened the garage and started unloading equipment for the live music that night. Finally when he was done about 45 minutes later, he comes into the Den holding his beer with a look on his face. He sees me snuggled up next to Bill and I go to drink my soda and Bill grabs a fresh straw off the table and drinks it first before handing it to me with two straws in it. Danny just looks at us as if we are weird.

“I hate to disturb this little moment, babe... but .. uhh... We kinda need to discuss the set list for tonight with you...or at least the songs YOU will sing with us...” Danny mentioned trying not to laugh.

“Just write it down and I will sort it out... You know.. OUR stuff... the songs we used to sing together when we were younger... oh.. and I am doing MY jams... you know....” I tried to explain to Danny without giving anything away. Danny looked at me slightly confused for a moment then he crooked his finger and told me to get up and talk to him. I grumbled and handed my soda to Bill and kissed him on the forehead quickly. Andi and Tom made fun of us with a big “AWWW” as I got up from the couch. Bill and I both flipped Tom off at the same time and I grabbed his cap as I walked by. Tom turned around to smack it away from me and I through it to Bill and told Tom he would have to fight Bill for it. Bill threatened to sit on it and I left the room with Danny as the guys all tried some tackle moves. Andi was not sure what to do.

“So... what's it gonna be babe?” Jon asks as I walk into the living room. The small stage area is set up in top of where our fireplace area is.

“I don't want to sing longer than 45 minutes tonight... please don't ask me for more than that right now guys... I am still a bit nervous. I think if we do these songs.. I will be ok...” I started out as I scribble 10 songs down onto a pad of paper. “If you don't know them or remember them... I am screwed.”

Jon and Danny take a look at the page and see the list that I wrote as follows...

1)Jump, Jive an' Wail= Stray Cats
2)Stray Cat Strut= Stray Cats
3)Rock This Town= Stray Cats
4)Reputation= Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
5)I Hate Myself for Loving You= Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
6)I Love Rock and Roll= Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
7)Falling From Grace= Mariana B. (ME)
8)Talon= Mariana B. (ME)
9)Make You Feel My Love= Bob Dylan
10)Can't Rain All the Time= Jane Siberry/Brandon Lee

Danny looks at me and smiles. Then he grabs me around the shoulders and gives a a knuggie on the head and points to the page happily.

“Are you sure you want to do all 10 of these songs? And... WHOAH.... you have 2 in here that you wrote yourself? WHAT!? When did you write these?” Danny asked with a concerned look on his face. I turned and ran up to my room really quick and brought down a folder from my dresser. I had printed out the sheet music and lyrics for the two songs the week before. Danny and Jon looked at everything and they knew that they could do it if the rehearsed for a few minutes.

I agreed and we ran through the music without me singing about 4 times to get it down right. I didn't know that the guys in the den had heard what was going on and were hiding on the stairs where we couldn't see them. Just as we started going into the second song that I wrote, called Talon, Andi, Georg, Bill and Tom all crept onto the stairs and sat to listen secretly to me. Andi had heard me singing along to the radio in my car before, but nothing of this magnitude. Jon started in with a drum solo... then Danny came in on guitar and Jon's friend Russell grooved in the Bass lines. Suddenly, everyone on the stairs jumps as they hear this strange scream come out of me into the microphone and I start singing the song with a gruff deep voice. Gustav comes running to the stairs from outside and looks at Tom like, “Oh Mein Gott.... she did WHAT!” and Tom tells Gustav to get down and hide so no one can see him. Everyone turns and stares at each other as I go into the chorus and Bill's eyes are wide with shock that such a voice came out of timid ol' me. Andi looks up at Bill sitting on the stairs above her and touches his arm and looks at him like... 'what do you think?”

Bill nodded that he liked it but he didn't quite get all that I was saying in the lyrics but he could tell it was something about nightmares, feeling caught between Heaven and ****. Andi nodded yes to Bill and he nodded back that they should go back into the Den and let me finish up. I ran through some other pieces with the band and it was about 5pm now. I needed a breather and I went back into the Den to hang with all the guys and Andi again. I sat again on the couch between Bill and Georg and now Gustav was there too. Bill picked up my soda and frowned that he drank all of it when I was gone, to make me think he was in there the whole time. I looked at Bill like he was a piggie with wide eyes.

“So when is this thing jumpin' off? That music sounds really good!” Tom said, breaking the silence.

“Oh... yeah... we had to practice something quickly so we remembered the parts right....but you could probably give them a run for their money...” I replied trailing off.

“So... who was that singing? Who ever it was... It was great and it was really different.” Gustav added in with a wink. I blushed at red as a New England Lobster. I remembered just then that Gustav was still out back with some people when I started to sing. I had hoped that the TV was loud enough to drown me out for a while and Gustav would not tell anyone. I thought for a minute.. they HAD to have heard me. Well... when they hear everything, then they will see.

“Well guys, I have to go upstairs now. I hope you enjoy the rest of the movie. I need to change and do a few things before I come back down.” I get off the couch and wave to everyone. Andi gets up and comes with me. Just as we leave and close the door. The four guys all huddle up to discuss their dares that had to be completed by morning.

“I love this dress on you, Mari!” Andi says as I walk out of the bathroom completely dressed and made up about an hour later.

“God.. I look like Dita Von Teese!” I complain as I look into the mirror. “I gotta change!”

“NO No NO!... you look very lovely, hot sexy and rockin'! I know Bill will Love this if he has only seen you in jeans or leather pants for the last month. And the other guys... well... knowing Gustav and Georg... I think poor Gusti Bear will run and hide all night. This looks THAT good!” Andi does her best to reassure me.

“Ok... **** off.. go see what's going on downstairs. I gotta psych myself up for this. Scope out the party and tell me what's going on... report back to me in 30 minutes” I say as I push Andi towards to the door.

I stand and pace back and forth in my bedroom memorizing the music in my head for 15 minutes, then I stood in front of the mirror and worked up my nerves to do it all. Andi came back into my room holding a microphone.

“Danny told me to make sure you have this. They will start you in from up here.. and said you're on in 10.”

“Cool.. I want to get this over with.. the sooner the better! So.. .report... what's going on down there?” I ask as I stretch and pace a little.

“Girl... umhh... Bill... He's in full on porcupine mode right now. I haven't seen him this since those Vanity Fair pics he took. You are gonna drool honey!” Andi reported.

“Uh huh... Drool possible.. ok.. what else?” I asked as I checked the mic and tossed it back and forth and played with it in my hands.

“Tom is normal.. and I AM GOING TO DROOL! He's wearing red and white tonight... I like that... umhh.. ok.. something NOT related to Bill and Tom... there are about 150 people all over the property right now... they are all gathering to hear the music now... oh... Georg has some mesh black shirt thing on... SO Hott.. you Gotta see it!!... and Ahh Mein Gott.. .Gusti Bear... he's got like his hair all gelled up and something like that... I have not seen it like that!! Why are they all dressed up like this?” Andi reports more and looks at me. I shrug and Andi notices my eyes twinkling up and I am not really paying attention anymore. I hear the band downstairs start up and I am wiggling my toes in my 3 inch heels to keep from bouncing off the walls... I breathe in slowly and tell Andi she needs to clear the stairs for me as I come down. Andi slowly opens the door on my cue as the band downstairs goes on.. my voice going over the music as I talk to the crowd from the top of the stairs.

“I hear a party goin' on out here! How y'all doin tonight?” I shout into the mic. The whole house screams and roars back at me. I can feel the adrenaline in the air.

“All right!.. Well... then boys... I think it's time we all come inside and....” I start singing the first line of Jump, Jive an' Wail as I slowly walk down the stairs. I get handshakes and high fives from old friends as I come down the first 10 steps to the landing. Tom is there and he looks me up and down and tugs his lip ring gently with his teeth as I come up to him and put my arm on his shoulder and sing a line to him. Tom turns and puts his hands on my waist and gets into the song as I lean against him before going down the stairs. As I walk down the stairs Tom leans over the railing and lets Bill and Georg know I am coming around their way. They and Gustav have their little VIP viewing area over in the corner of the living room. Tom stops Andi on the stairs and makes her stay with him to watch. Andi freezes and looks at me as I walk by with a HUGE smile on my face and wink at Tom.

I walk slowly through the crowd and step into the living room now in full view of Bill, Gustav and Georg as I move closer to the stage and step up. Bill's jaw dropped wide open and Georg jokingly puts his hands over Bill's eyes so he can't see me. Bill grabs his hand and looks back at the stage just as I look over the the guys and wink at them. The song ends and the next song grooves in and I meow loudly like a cat. Bill was looking up at Tom when I did that and he turned back to me with a shocked look. 'So That's the howl' Bill thought as he looked at me and laughed. I went on to sing for a while and the crowd came in to start dancing in what space they could. I broke for a moment and then Danny handed me a black and white Ibanez guitar. I counted 10 seconds and Jon came in on drums. I went into my Joan Jett songs and Tom came running down the stairs with Andi. He sat down on the couch with a thud and Andi landed in his lap again as he reached for her waist quickly. I had the whole house singing along with me now and shouting

“I don't give a **** about my reputation!” and then I went into the groove and Danny copied me on the guitar riffs in case I messed up. I hadn't played that song in about 2 years and I was a bit nervous. I finally got through it all and I was ready to sing the last song of the night for me. I decided to change up the list and I sang the Bob Dylan song last.

“Is there anyone in the crowd out there that is in love tonight?... Does anyone have someone special on their minds?” I ask as the crowd whistles and cheers. I see people getting ready with lighters out of their pockets. I sit lady like on a stool and Danny comes down next to me and plays the into to the song on his acoustic/electric. “I would like to dedicate this song tonight... to my special guests... to Tokio Hotel... for the best set of friends to inspire me... and to Bill... I wouldn't be sitting here tonight if it wasn't for you...” I pointed out into the crowd and blew Bill a kiss. Bill wondered what the song was and I started singing it as Danny went back to the melody in the begining.

Bill sat quietly as he looked no where but at me and my brother alone singing and playing guitar. In his mind he thought about how many times he and Tom had practiced together and how good it was to have family there with you. I sang the words and it sunk into Bill because he understood them enough.

When the rain is blowing on your face
and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shatters
and the stars appear
and there is no one there
to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
but, I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing
wild and free
you ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy
make your dreams come true
there is nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love.


Bill sat for a moment stunned as we ended the set and lots of people headed out back and all to eat, drink and talk. I helped put the equipment into the cases and I mingled with some friends as Tom took Andi with him out back and the guys all had fun talking with the friends that I invited. I walked into the kitchen and people started clapping and all as Danny and I went behind the bar area and started to mix some drinks for everyone... I broke out the cups and made my special milkshakes... Andi grabs one and downs it mumbling something about Tom wanting to hang out after the party in the hot tub....

I promised more... and here it is.....



Chapter 6:

Drinks all around as we calmed down and guests started leaving around 10pm. The house was all nice and cleared except for the people that were staying there by midnight. I was starting to feel a little buzzed and I went out back to make sure that the hot tub was nice and warm and I turned the bubbles on and got it going. Tom comes out back then and jumps in. I look at him and notice that he was in a great mood and was loving the party.

“Where's Andi? You guys should come in with us.” Tom asked me as Bill came outside and got in too. Bill dunked his head back and I joked....

“Awhh... time to ruin the hairspray.... “ and he came towards me and I smoothed it out for him. I went upstairs then to see what Andi was doing.

I found Andi in my room pulling a few things out of her bag...

“So you coming down with me to sit the the guys?” I ask as I go to my dresser and pull out 2 suits to choose from. I had a white and gold style print and something else in plain black. Andi threw the black one back into the drawer. She hated how I wore it so much.

“Fine then, You put on yours...” I spoke to her making me wear the tropical one.

“I can't wear a bikini in front of Tom... I am not ready for that yet!”

“Girl.. lemme tell you... if you weren't ready for it or wanting to do it... then you wouldn't have put it in your bag.” I replied as I opened the back door because I heard Tom yelling.

“What Tomi!” I yell down from the balcony.

“Hurry up... it's getting all lonely down here... “ Tom yells.

“Chill Tom... wardrobe issues....” I chuckle.

“Tell Andi to get her but down here in whatever she is wearing... I don't care... or I will come up there and bring her down myself!”

I roll my eyes at Tom and go back inside my room. I change and get Andi dressed too. Finally a few minutes later I am pushing Andi out the back door.. both of us in our nicest bathing suits. Andi is trying to cover herself up and mumbles at me as I push her to the hot tub.

“What's wrong with you, hunny?” Tom asks wondering why Andi is so shy.

“Andi's too shy to wear a sexy bikini in front of a guy she has a major crush on.” I blurt out and get into the hot tub. I turn around to check the cooler next to me and see if there were any drinks left. Andi's cheeks blush and Tom takes a good look at her.

“ Andi, you and Mari gotta show off like this more often... You know... that whole shake what your momma gave you thing!” Tom replies as he lights up a cigarette and passes it to Bill. Bill splashes him with water and I reach over and smack Tom upside the back of his head.

“Tom calm down or we will have to tie you up in your room!” Bill jokes.

“That could seriously be interesting..” Tom answers.

I look at Andi and tell her to snuggle up closer to Tom and she shakes her head no at me. I turn around and hand her a vitamin water from the cooler.

“Here, drink your Tomi water and get a grip!” I tell her as I toss it to Andi.

“Tomi water??!!” Tom raises an eyebrow at Andi and takes the bottle from Andi before she can open it. He opens the cap and downs half the bottle. A million dirty thoughts float through Andi's mind and she bites her lower lip waiting to see what Tom will say.

“Hmmm... not bad at all...” Tom finally says... then he gives Andi a wicked smile and pulls her closer to whisper the rest of what he wants to say in her ear. Andi's jaw drops open and Tom turns her head and catches her in a kiss.

“Whooo... slow down there, slick!” I threw out as I winked at him.

“Just stating my point...” Tom replied proudly.

“I am sure you can state you point just fine later...” I replied.

Bill gave Tom a knowing look that was more between them as a TWIN thing than anything... I was starting to get used to those “STARE DOWNS”. Then Bill turned his head and looked back into the house.

“It's too quiet... where did Gustav and Georg go? Tom I thought you said they were going to relax with us...”

“ Mhh... ohh... Gustav wanted to do something and Georg said something about needing to go for a drive...” Tom answered as he pulled Andi closer to him slowly. Andi did not resist this time.

“They went for a drive?!” I piped up.”oh God please let them behave... they don't know where they are going do they?” Tom and Bill just shrugged. I prayed the borrowed someone's car with GPS or went out with someone that knew the whole area they were going to.

We all stayed in the hot tub for about an hour and talked and laughed. Finally I said it was time for me to get out. Andi was tired and she got up to use the bathroom downstairs. I did not see her again until morning. I went inside to do a few things before I fell asleep. Tom ended up going missing and I walked around the house locking up and finally went upstairs to my room. Bill had already washed the makeup off and was lying half asleep on the far side of the bed. I sat down and rubbed his back for a minute. I heard a small grunt and I touched his shoulder a little more. He looked up at me and wondered why I was not sleeping yet.

“Are you ok, sweetheart?” Bill asks me sleepily. I push a stand of hair from his cheek and smile. I had not been so happy in a long time. It was a great day for me and I almost did not want it to end.

“Yes Bill.. I am ok.. I am just still reeling from the exciting day, but I am tired... it will just take a few minutes for my body to calm down to sleep mode.” I answered as I fiddled with a ring and then took it off and put it on the dresser. Bill sat up and pulled me toward him... he grabbed me in a huge bear hug and just held me as we talked.

“You did a lot today....”Bill started as he played with my fingers. “I know that you love music as much as I do... you don't have to give it up. I can see it is still within you. You DO still have what it takes. Believe me.... I would never lie to you.”

“I know what you mean... when I left school things fell apart and I spent so much time trying to stop the sand from slipping through my fingers. I just needed a push in the right direction. I am glad it was your influence....” I played my fingers within Bill's hands as well and tears began to fall.

“I am hoping those are tears of joy this time.” Bill whispered as he wiped one away and kissed my cheek.

“Yes.. they are.” I answered.

Bill fluffed the pillow behind me and he told me to lay down and sleep. I was still teary eyed and he kept his arms wrapped around me the whole night.

Morning came faster than we thought it would. I woke first and I turned and saw Bill with a little smile on his lips and he was still asleep. I gave him a kiss and he stirred awake.

“Hmm?” Bill looked at me... “what time is it?”

“It's about 7am now... I woke up.. just wanted to give you a kiss.” I said sleepily and tried to sleep again. Bill stared for a moment until his eyes grew heavy and his head dropped on the pillow again too.



** “umhhffff... don't shake the bed Bill!! you know I hate it when you wake me up like that!” Tom shouted as he pulled a pillow over his head. Andi flipped out at the sound of Tom's voice and rolled off the water bed and onto the floor.

“Tom what are you doing in my room?!!”Andi shouted.

“WHAT!!??” Tom bolted up outta bed and tripped on the sheets, bumping into the closet. He stared down at the bed and Andi got up from the floor.

“I came in here after I was in the hot to to lay down and sleep. Mari told me this was the guest room!” Andi whimpered as she noticed the wet bathing suit on the bathroom counter drying... and wondered how she got into one of Tom's shirts.

“You are wearing my shirt....” Tom replies as he sleepily points at Andi. Andi looks mortified and says back,

“Tom... what happened? When did you come in here? I have no idea how I got into this shirt! I am SO sorry!!” trying not to cry she sits on the bed.

“No no.. it's ok... I didn't want to be upstairs and I took this room. I am sorry I didn't tell you it was mine. You must have been tired and grabbed my shirt when you changed. We were both tired.. it's ok... I don't even think I noticed who was in here when I fell asleep. I am sorry too.”

Tom took Andi's hand and looked at her.

“I assure you that nothing happened... you know... what they say about me... cause I don't do that like they say I do... I mean.. I USED to and all.. but I have seriously chilled out... and I don't want you to think bad of me.”

Andi looked at Tom and saw that he was really concerned of what she thought about him. She knew Tom wasn't like that. She hated when all the fan girls thought of Tom as being a pimp. To Andi, Tom was a normal young guy... and if he was looking for love... he didn't want to show it to the world and be overwhelmed by the fans. He only wanted to be who HE was... and if he was hurting from things in the past, or what people said about him... it showed in little ways.

“I know Tom. Even though we both partied hard last night... I know you wouldn't do that. It's ok... I don't think badly of you.” Andi kissed Tom on the cheek.

Suddenly there is a loud knock on the bedroom door.

“Tom...are you up!!?? you need to get up.. something happened!!” Bill shouts through the door.

Tom grabs the door and swings it open.

“JA! What is it??!!” Tom asks concerned.

“Gustav and Georg... they never came back last night. Georg just called Mari's cell and she is screaming at him... I think they are with the police. She is speaking so fast and screaming at him I can't understand what is going on.. but it's REALLY bad...” Bill explains.

Andi runs upstairs to my room and can hear me screaming the whole time.

“Mari calm down... what happened!” Andi comes in.

“Georg just called me from the police station. He apologized for waking me up and told me we have to come quickly and bail him and Gusti out or they will keep them there for the full 3 days! I am gonna KILL HIM!”

“What did they do?” Tom asks as he comes rushing in.

“What do you think they did Tom?” I say over my shoulder as I hang up the phone. Everyone get dressed... you have to come downtown with me to the sheriff's station.

CHAPTER 7


“Georg... I told you NO! I don't want to go there.” Gustav started out as Georg turned off the highway.

“Well too bad! I am driving... and strippers win against BOWLING hands down every time!... Now... where is that address those guys gave us?” Georg fishes around the car.

“What's wrong with bowling?!!” Gusti huffs at Georg as he pulls out his headphones.

“Bowling balls can't give you the lap dance of your life, Gustav.” Georg answers, not looking at him and trying to read the street signs.

“That's the point man... there were plenty of girls at the party to hang with.. I thought we we leaving to relax for a little bit.” Gusti blabs on.

Georg finds the place and pulls into the parking lot.

“If you don't stop talking nonsense to me Gusti, I'll....”

“Georg hit the break!... look out!!” Gustav yells out suddenly.

**CRASH**

Georg smacks the car into the front wall of the club with the car.

“Back up... quick... if we go now no one will know it was US that did it.” Gustav reacted. Georg throws the car in reverse and a steel beam comes crashing down onto the hood of the car as he backs up and tears a huge hole into the hood of the silver car.

“I don't think we can go anywhere now. WE are gonna have to deal with this....” Georg looks at the beam sticking out of the car with wide eyes and Gustav's jaw dropped open.

“WE?!!... YOU wanted the strippers... not me!” Gustav argued.

“You're in the car too. You're an accessory to this!” Georg argued back.

“An accessory? Since when am I Jewelry?!!” Gustav asked getting confused now.

Just as they really start to argue about it all and off-duty cop that was inside the club comes out and knocks on Georg's window, flashing his badge. He tells Gustav and Georg to get out of the car and put their ands on the trunk while he calls for back up. The police arrest Georg and Gustav and take them downtown to the holding station.



***

“Where are they? Did they get hurt?!!... I am SO gonna kill them right now!” I grumble as I walk down the hall to the holding room. An officer opens the door and I walk in with Tom, Bill and Andi.

“What happened guys?” Bill asks as he sees how mortified Gustav and Georg get when I walk into the room. Georg takes a deep breath and begins to explain.

“Well... Gustav and I found Mari's keys and Gustav told me that Mari said it was OK to go ahead and leave after the party wound down and hang out... and take her car.” he started. Bill glared at Gustav and Georg for a minute and then at me. I knew I was drinking but I always remember what happens and I shrugged to Bill that I never remembered saying that to them.

“So we went driving around and we met some cool guys at a burger place that gave us some addresses of place to go to. Gustav wanted to go to one place and I wanted to see another first. I figured we could go to my place first since I was the one who was driving.” Georg went on.. trying not to be nervous to explain exactly what happened.

“AND!” I asked Georg, with searing menace in my eyes that startled him. He was speechless and then Gustav spoke.

“And I was telling Georg that we shouldn't go there... and we were beginning to argue... Georg pulled backwards into a parking spot but he didn't set the break when he yelled at me.. and the car ended up crashing through the front wall of the place.”

“Through what place?!” Andi asked startled.

“Through a.. umh... night.... Gentleman's Club.. is that what you call them here?” Gustav looked at Andi. Andi and Tom both fall against each other laughing really hard.

“Georg crashed the car into a Strip Club!!??” they both laughed and shouted out. Bill ended up laughing about it too until I picked up a wooden stool that was in the room and threw it against the wall behind Gustav and Georg and it splintered into about 30 pieces.

“Georg!! How could you do this to me!!?? You and Gusti STEAL my PERSONAL CAR.. not the SUV ... but MY BEEMER!!... drive off during a party while you're a guest in my home.. .and total the living HECK outta my car just for a thrill of seeing STRIPPERS!!!?? and for PETE”S SAKE!!.. if you wanted the “Lap dance of your life” why go THERE??!! That place is a DIVE and the girls are trashy... I have been in there before and seen them dance... there are MUCH better places than THAT ONE!!” I growl out trying to keep my composure the best I could.

“EEAAHHH.... look who's Freaky after all..!!” Tom replies and licks his lips while looking at me. Andi grabs his dreads and gives a hard yank and Tom stumbles back a step.

“We swear nothing like this will ever happen again. I am truly sorry... I even make it up to you... look... I will... I'll get you a new car OK... I will take that and be responsible to get you a new one.” Georg answers shakily.

“Georg... for what you and Gustav just did... you were like brothers to me and you do THIS!!.. It would have to be one heck of an EFFING BENTLY OR LAMBO. A new BMW is not gonna make me feel better about all of this right now.” I sit down in an empty chair and run my hands through my hair trying not to cry that they could be so stupid and irresponsible like that.”

Bill came up behind me and rubbed my shoulders for a moment.

“She's right guys, she has gone through a lot for us.. and now you two do this..... it could make the whole group look bad.. and you have made Mari lose her trust in you I am sure.” Bill said thoughtfully.
“Alright guys.. I have made up my mind. Jon and I will fill out whatever paperwork we need to get Gustav and Georg out of here and keep things as quiet as possible for you. But when I get you back to the house... don't talk to me. You will stay there at the house... I am leaving.. don't contact me... I will call you.. and don't come to the other house either. There will be strict orders not to go there without being stopped. Tobi and Saki are going to be there for you in the morning. As of midnight tonight... I quit this... you won't see me anymore as part of your team.... and if Jost has your “bowling balls” in a sling for all of this... don't come crying to me about it.” I finish and then I leave the room slamming the door behind me.

“OMG!... you guys... this IS really bad.... I have never known Mari to be this upset or hurt before. I know she is relieved that you didn't get hurt... but how are you gonna fix this?” Andi asked, looking around the room as tears started to form in her eyes. Bill looked at Andi as if someone ripped the heart and soul from his chest. He was not sure if what I said meant that what I was feeling for him had just ended too. Andi walked over to Bill and held his hand and then hugged him really tight.

“I'll talk to her, Bill... I won't let her just walk away... maybe she just needs a few days to cool down. If I have any say in this... you will NOT lose her at all.” Andi reassured Bill and Bill gave her a weak smile, still laden with worry.

[whiteseawitch]

CHAPTER 8



“I am not able to accept your call right now.. I am either away or in a meeting.... please leave your message after the beep...”

Bill closed his cell phone... for the 20th time that weekend. He slumped into a chair onto a stool next to Tom. Tom looked up from tuning his guitar and gave his brother a good glance. Bill looked like someone had sucked the life outta him. That was about the 8th time he saw Bill trying to call me that day. Suddenly... Tom's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was Andi.

“Hey babe... yeah.. of course he is here...have you heard from Mari? She seems to not be answering her phone from us anymore. Bill hasn't talked to her or seen her in over two weeks.”

Bill looked up at Tom with a look of hope on his face.

“Umh... Tomie... don't tell Bill.. but she was in Vegas for the weekend. Jon told her to go and relax after what happened... I haven't heard from her all weekend either. I only was told that she is off the plane coming home right now.” Andi answered. Tom got up and went into the control room. Bill looked through the glass with and angered stare. He couldn't believe what was going on right now. How could I have gone to Vegas all by myself... and NOT tell him.

“Andi.. this is nuts... Bill.. he's acting like he's on a man-rag.... he's been this way all week! He won't even talk to Georg or Gustav this weekend unless it's work related. He just goes in Mari's room and closes the door at the house... he doesn't come out... and when we watch TV... it's like.. well.. he's zoned out. He thinks all this is somehow HIS fault...”

“Tom.. this is NOT Bill's fault in any way... he had nothing to do with Gustav and Georg getting into trouble!! You NEED to tell him that!”

“I did... he doesn't understand why she won't talk to him now. He even tried to go and see her... he got into a major fight with Saki and Tobi about it. I have NEVER seen Bill THAT ****** off that he was not allowed to go anywhere before. It was like.. he started throwing stuff... it was a little scary... “

“You are right... OK.. umh... how about this then... if you are done since ZOMBIE BOY can't concentrate today.. then come and get me... don't let Bill know .... and you and I will camp out in front of Mari's house.... I will hide you and make it look like I was driving....”

“OK.. yeah.. I think Bill is most likely gonna go home and sulk.. he doesn't know she is back yet. I will pick you up in about 30 minutes...” Tom closes his cell and looks at Bill. Bill is staring him down like he's gonna murder him. Tom comes back out as he puts his cell away.

“Bill... I need to tell you.. once again... this is not your fault. Please stop taking it out on yourself. I know she still cares about you... you need to get some rest. You are not getting anything done this way... we can pick back up on the recordings next week... and please... will you talk to Georg.. he feels bad enough he wrecked your girlfriend's car... now you give him the silent treatment... it's gonna hurt everyone more than it should if you guys don't stop this.”

Bill put on his sunglasses and nodded his head. Tom put the guitar down and they headed out for the car. Georg and Gustav followed them from another room. They still didn't speak... until finally Bill put his hand on the doorknob of the SUV and turned around.

“Georg... I am sorry.” and with that... Bill ducked his head and got into the car quickly. Georg turned and looked at Gustav and Tom. Tom nodded and told Georg to get in the car. Georg had an amused look on his face and sat down. Tom was the last to get in the car.. instead... he closed the door and did not get in. Bill looked at him funny.

“Take him home, Tobi... he's tired.” Tom leaned in the window for a moment.

“Where are YOU going?” Bill asks, puzzled.

“Shopping....” Tom winks back at Bill.... smacks the hood of the car and Tobi drives off before Bill can protest, leaving Tom there with the spare keys to the other SUV.


The three remaining guys get back to the house in no time. Bill was the last to enter the kitchen and for some reason he started searching the fridge for chocolate syrup and milk. Bill stares at the Nestle Quick Bunny on the bottle for a moment... then he sees something on the kitchen table. Bill drops the bottle to the counter and walks over to the table by the back door. There is an arrangement of flowers there.. Fresh ones that were not there that morning... a velvet covered box... a container of gummy candy... and an envelope... he about died to see it said BILL on it... in MY handwriting. Bill thought he was dreaming.... he pinched his hand as he reached out for the envelope with the other one. He winced a moment at the pain. No.. he wasn't dreaming. He opened the envelope. There inside... was a piece of parchment.. nothing on the outside.. just cream colored paper.. lightly scented as he brought it closer to read it.

My Dearest Bill~

Darling I am so sorry for my silence towards you. I know it was not fair.
Can you ever come to forgive me?
It was not you I was angry with but with Georg and Gustav.
I did not want to talk to or deal with them until I had calmed down;
and because you all are so close...
I had to cut all of you off to do it.

Please believe me... I never meant to hurt you.

With all my soul.. I am sorry.

Mariana



Bill held the paper in his hand for a moment as a tear splashed down and soaked into the paper. He took a deep breathe and regained himself knowing I did not hate him. He looked down at the box of assorted gummy candy and giggled a little inside. He hoped he and I could share them over a good movie. He saw the burgandy velvet box and wondered what the gift was. The box was a little bit heavy. He opened it slowly... pulling the satin ribbon off slowly. The box was lined in the satin material and in the center of the box Bill saw something unusual. Fans had given him strange gifts before.. but this.. he knew was a thoughtful gift... but what not sure why. There was a scroll of paper rolled into the top of the box and he pulled it down as he set the box on the table again. Bill looked at the gift. It was a stone... a dark red poppy jasper to be exact. It was a medium sized one, in the shape of an egg and it sat on a golden frame.

He looked at the scroll of paper... all it said was...

I am for those darker hours...
hold me and I will be there.

Bill held the stone in his hand and looked at it... a deep blood red with facets of black and gold running through it.. smoothly shaped and honed into the size of a small egg. He wondered what caused me to chose such a shape for the gift. He figured he would ask me when he saw me again. He touched the flowers and thought how nice a sentiment they were. Gustav and Georg came into the room then, and Bill grabbed his gummies protectively.

“Who did all this?” Gustav asked as he looked at the nice lay out on the table. Bill handed Gustav the envelope with my handwriting on it. Georg looked at it all... and he took a deep sorry and put his hands on the table, lightly cracking his knuckles.

“Bill... if she is talking to you again... do you think maybe you could.. you know... tell her how sorry I am ... maybe.. you know... she was cool.” Georg said as he slowly looked at Bill. Bill thought for a moment and nodded.
“I will see what I can do. I have not talked to her yet. This was just waiting for me when I walked in.”



“Who should knock on her door?” Tom asked as he and Andi pull up across the street from my house.

“I will.. you hide where she can't see you by the wall.. I will stand at the door.” Andi said as she observed the house. All the shades were drawn on the windows so you could not tell if anyone was home.

Tom and Andi quickly ran across the street and into the front yard. Tom leaping over the grass and flowers to get to the walk way. Andi goes to the front door which is in a niche off the yard and rings the bell 3 times fast. It took me a minute but I finally opened it.

“Andi... umh... how did you know I was here?” I asked with a puzzled look... I heard breathing from behind her. “Come out Tom... no use in hiding...”

Tom looked at me from around the corner to see if I was going to bite his head off.

“Don't just stand then sweetie.. come in... you look thirsty.” I said as I saw him. Tom and Andi looked at each other funny as I walked away and left the door open signaling to follow me inside. They wondered what had gotten into me and why I did not scream that Tom was not supposed to be at my house. Tom figured whatever Karma had hit.. he better take what he was getting. He took Andi's hand and went into the house and shut the door.

“Mari.. we came by because we are concerned about you and Bill. Well.. you we haven't seen in a little while. But... well.. Tom.. you tell her....” Andi started to explain as she sat down at the kitchen table. I turned and looked at Tom. He sat on the back of the couch and steepled his fingers... looking at the floor.

“Mari... Bill.. he is really bad off. He doesn't finish his food.. well he's barely eaten in the last 2 days. He can't concentrate... he's called your cell God knows how many times... he even fought with Saki and Tobi... and tried to sneak out to see you. I mean.. he was ready to walk across town by himself to get here.. when Saki refused and said they were putting him on watch.. Bill threw a chair him... well.. Saki didn't get hit really.. cause Bill was on the other side of the kitchen counter.. but umh... there is a good chunk of the counter missing now.. and we owe you kitchen chair.”

I looked at both Tom and Andi slowly. They looked as though an Alien would pop outta me at any moment and dance on the counter.

“I am sure Bill feels much better now Tom. There was a little something left for him at the other house an hour ago. Just something to let him know I was sorry.”

“Did you talk to him?” Andi asked startled.

“No... I am not sure when I should... I just.. I felt I messed up.. that maybe Bill would not want to see me again because I ignored him. He's called my cell 25 times in the last 3 weeks... and the home line.... about 15. I died each time I reached for the phone and then just let it go... I feel like such a betch to him right now. I don't know how he could forgive me... I have messed up before... we just fell for each other the night before... and then.. once we confess our feelings... I end it without any word hours later... that is just... GAWWW!!!” I raise my hands and open the fridge for a drink.

“Mari... I know you have been hurt before... and you have had to turn into a cold hearted betch just to protect yourself against stupid people.... but this... this is not going away... Bill.... he waited it out... he still waiting for you to come back to him. The question is... WILL YOU be able to put something like this aside... I mean c'mon Mari... Georg... he's killing himself over this too... and all that you taught me about life... why the Heck are you getting so upset... it's a FRICKIN CAR for Pete's SAKE!!” Andi begins to go off a little at me. I turn towards her as I finished downing a Coke and I looked at her wide eyed.

“I might not know as much about you as Andi does.. but I am with her on this...we are not gonna just let you walk away... you have to see Bill again...don't worry.. we are not gonna hold you hostage and drag you over there this very moment... although the thought crossed my mind while driving over here.” Tom took a breath... “Just... if there is something... would you see Bill again... if he asked you too.. like.. if he wanted to do something with you this week.. would you go?”

“I... he would want to do that, Tom.. why?”

“He's been scribbling in a notebook.... I saw it once.. he wrote at least 50 things he would want to do or say just to have you back with him.. and we are not talking the typical chocolate and roses crap... this is original Bill stuff... stuff I don't think he realized he would do until the situation came up and he had time to think about it.” Tom stared me down. I couldn't help but feel some sort of guilt for how I over reacted to what happened at the beginning of the month. I loved Bill... I wanted to tell him I did... I just was not sure how I would make it up to him.. enough.

“OK Tom... if he wants to see me... tell him he can call me later.. OK...” I walk over and hug Tom tight. He felt so much better now that he got through to me. Andi was bouncing up and down and I could see ideas forming in her head.

“Girl!! don't EVEN gimme that Scotty Vanity.... I wanna do you makeup! Look... like you will run over here the moment Bill and I talk and get me ready for a date....” I give Andi my glare.

“Fine.. I will just do your hair and nails then...” Andi says confidently as she grabs Tom by the hand. “C'mon Tomie.. we can hit up Mac Donald's before heading back.” and Tom looks back at me with the hand signal.. mouthing... I will call you later.

CHAPTER 9:

Andi stuffs a handful of french fries in her mouth the moment tom puts the bag down between them from the drive through. Then it hits her...

“OMG!! Tom I have SUCH an idea!” Andi finished her fries and then said... “ What if you and I set up Mari and Bill on something nice from his list? Like... you try to steal his notebook and we can like make a romantic date out of the whole thing!!??”

Tom pauses for a moment. He then pulls out of the driveway and starts heading back to the house.

“I don't think out right taking it will work. Maybe there is someway I can copy it.” I know Mari has a copier in the den in the closet desk for the PC... I can grab it and copy the pages really quick.. then take it back where I found it.” Tom ponders the idea... “How are we going to get Bill to cooperate with us.. without him suspecting something....”

“Don't worry about Bill... I can do it so he won't know.. it's Mari I have to keep it all quiet from... she can smell a set up from like DAYS off and won't cooperate if she knows about it...” Andi throws in. “But somehow... I kinda do want Bill to know about it... I mean.. once details are set and all... cause if there is something that he wants to say or do that is special.. .like what you mentioned in the book and all... then I want him to be involved in it.” Andi says dreamily.

“Geez babe.. this is a DATE... not them planning a wedding!!” Tom answers figuring out where Andi wants to go with this...

“Fine.. This Caddy is on Steriods Tom!! I mean... who drives a Caddy Escalade like THIS!!” Andi responds in a huff to Tom bashing her romantic fix ups.

“Andi... I am not trying to make you upset... and what's wrong the caddy??!! I got it as a loaner since we needed another car. It's like...”

“PIMPED OUT!” Andi cuts Tom off. “I mean.... really Tom... a car like this does not help to end your TOM THE DON.. type of image...” Andi huffs more.

“Andi do you want me to help you plan something when we get back?” Tom asks softly and reaches for a lock of Andi's hair at the stoplight and kisses her on the cheek.

“Yes..... please.” was all Andi could manage to say back.

“Sheisse... I told Bill I was going shopping.. what is he gonna say when he sees you with me now?” Tom pulls into the driveway of the house.

“”Nothing.. .you shopped and you met me there.”Andi answered back as she got out of the SUV which she had to drop down out of since it was raised a little.

Andi and Tom go into the house and find Bill sitting at the kitchen bar drinking his 2nd glass of chocolate milk and reading a book. Bill looks up and sees Andi behind Tom.

“I thought you were going shopping?” Bill asked with a weird look on his face.

“He did.. he bought me MacDonald's!!” Andi smiled and gave Bill a huge bear hug. She then looks over Bill's shoulder and sees the huge bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table. “OMG!! Bill who is that from??!!” Andi walks over to the table and looks at the box. “Was this from Mari... Bill did she send this to you?”

“Yeah... she did.” Bill answered with a smile forming on his lips. She even got me my favorite gummy candies too...” he added dreamily.

Andi runs back to Bill and gives him another hug. “Awww lil' Billa got his little girly friend back!! SO CUTE!!” Andi kisses Bill on the forehead and scruffs his hair up. It sticks up a little.. WITHOUT the hairspray. Bill tries to push her hands away and smooth out his tresses with his hands...to no avail...

“Man!.. now I gotta brush it out!” Bill pitches a fit and goes upstairs to fix his hair. Andi looks at the book Bill was reading... it was a love story.... The Twilight series... He found out Mari loved vampires and fairies as well.. it was giving him ideas... and he wrote them in his notebook.

“THE NOTEBOOK!” Andi gasped. “Tomie.. grab the notebook and copy it while Bill is upstairs!!” Andi grabs Tom quickly by the arm and the notebook by the other and shoves Tom towards the door of the Den room. Tom quickly scans the 10 pages that Bill wrote about his ideas and placed the notebook back just as Bill walked back down the stairs.

“So... Bill...” Andi began... and took Bill by the arm and led him outside to the patio chairs to talk. Tom placed the notebook down just in the right place and then headed back to the computer to wait for the pages to finish printing. He grabbed them and ran back into his room quickly and hid them in his bag.

“Andi... have you talked to her yet?” Bill asked as he sat down.

“Yeah... she called me on the way home. And yes... she asked about you. I told her we were all worried about you... she... well.. she was... she didn't sound to good either sweetie... I think maybe you should call her.” Andi said solemnly in her lie... she did not want Bill to know she had seen me in person to get that information.

“Well... did she say she would talk to me? Does she know how many times I have called her? I HAVE called her.. Andi she won't pick up the phone! I mean... if I have called like 100 times and she doesn't pick up.. how can you can say she wants me to call her!!??” Bill starts to get emotional.

“Chill Bill!.. hehe omg.. I can't believe I said that!” Andi began to giggle.. then stopped as Bill gave her an evil glare. “ OK OK... look.. calm down Bill... I talked to her... I had a good heart to heart and she will talk to you.. I swear.. she still cares... take her back... go for it... you still have her.”

Bill sits quietly for a moment. Andi just looks at Bill as he stares at his shoes and thinks. Georg opens the back door.

“Bill.... umh.. it's on it's way... I just wanted to let you know... fully paid for.. so umh.. it's cool between us now.. right?” Georg mentions as he leans on the doorframe.

“WTF? What is on it's way? What are you talking about Georg!?” Andi screams... she hates it when people talk like she isn't there.. and being left outta the loop.

“Georg and Gustav ordered Mariana a new car.” Bill replied as he stood up.
“They are sending it from Europe ... so it will be here in about a week.” Georg added.

“Why wasn't I told this!!?? What KIND of car!!?? Do you know how picky Mari is with things.. I mean.. OMG... we went shopping and after 4 hours all she bought was a bunch of Jelly bracelets from HOT TOPIC!! OMG.. OMG... OMG... you HAVE to tell me what car you got her!!” Andi completely betches and waves her arms in the air for emphasis.

“NEIN!” Both Bill and Georg say at once. Then Bill adds, “We didn't tell you because we knew you would blab it to Mariana. I wanted it to be a surprise.”

“Wait! A surprise... Bill.. you didn't even know if she wanted to talk to you again... so how did you know that she would accept a car?” Andi crossed her arms and tapped her foot. “And I am NOT Paris Effing Hilton.. I mean.. I wouldn't go around blabbing about someone's secret pregnancy like she did... so why would I tell Mari about a CAR!!??... and Bill.. OMFG... you like... you kept it from me.. which is like .... like.. like you lying to ME... I am Mari's best friend... would you like it if I lied to YOU about TOM or something?”

Bill's eyebrow raised. Andi and Tom did lie. Well.. Tom lied about going shopping... yet Bill did not yet know that Andi lied about the copying of the notebook.... AND what Andi intended on doing with the information once Tom told her what it said.

Andi bit her lip with the look Bill gave her. She hoped Tom would give her that kind of look sometime.... but with a different meaning behind it.

Suddenly Bill and Georg were startled by Saki knocking loudly on the glass and making a signal to Bill that he had a phone call. Bill looked wide eyed at Georg and Andi and everyone ran into the house. Saki held out the hand receiver for the house line. Bill calmed down and took a deep breath and took the phone from Saki.

“Hallo?” Bill asked shakily.

“Hello Bill... it's Mari.” I started slowly. I did not want to shock him too much.

Tom, Andi and Georg were all bunched up together watching Bill as he tried to shoo them off... none of them moved.

“Hi... how are you?” Bill asked.. not really sure or what to say first... all the things he has wanted to say the last 3 weeks flooded his mind. He sat down on the chair slowly.

“I would have liked to say that it was all peaches and cream... but... I ... I ... did you get my gift today?” I couldn't come out and tell Bill I missed him... not yet.

“Ja.. it's really wonderful.... the gummies... I thought maybe we could share them... we could maybe... I loved sitting and watching that movie with you before the party... maybe we could... well... if you would want to see me again...”

Bill stumbles sightly on his words as he turned his back on the group. Gustav now joined and Georg grabbed him forcefully and sat him down on the couch with them.

“Yes... I would like to see you again, Bill... I have missed you. In fact, if you don't mind... I will be back at the house tomorrow afternoon... umh.. permanently.” I began to explain. I did not want to let Bill know in on the plans that I was going through the last 3 weeks.

I had sold the house on Ridley. I didn't need 2 houses.. and there were not so many great memories in that house. I wanted to be able to buy property somewhere else... I was feeling that someday I may want to leave California again and have a home somewhere else. I just did not want to tell anyone... even if I had flashes about the idea during my time away.

“You ... you .. what do you mean about permanently?” Bill asked confused.

“There will be some men at the house early in the morning. They will be bringing my things from this house. I will explain more tomorrow when I get there Bill... so... that movie thing... are we on for tomorrow night then?”

“ummhhh.. JA!” Bill said excitedly... so.. I guess I will see you tomorrow then. Great! Umh... I will pick out some good movies... or umh... we can pick them out together if you want...”

“It's OK Bill...” I giggled under my breath at how excited he was... “ I would love to pick something out with you.. but maybe there is a favorite you want to watch... or you can look in my collection and pick something if you wish... so... I will see you tomorrow... I will be there before lunch time.... so.. bye for now sweetie...” I hung up the phone.

Bill clicks the button to hang up the phone. Gustav grabs Tom's shirt and pretends to blow his nose in it.. crying.

“Awhhh .. that was so precious Bill! I need a hanky now!!” Gustav walks off. Tom is totally grossed out and runs off to change his shirt.

Georg goes into the den to watch some TV.

“Andi... could you help me pick out something nice from Mari's DVD collection?” Bill asks thinking what he should do.

“Awhh... thought you would never ask!” Andi walks with arm on Bill's shoulder... which is a feat in itself since she is much shorter than him and shows him where I kept the collection of DVDs in the den room.

CHAPTER 10: BILL'S NOTEBOOK (best chapter YET!!)CO WROTE BY MYSELF AND ANDI

“So Tomie... where's the notebook pages??!!.. I so have to get started right away... OMG .. this is gonna be SO good!” Andi waved her hands as she looked around Tom's room. Tom flopped on the bed and reached into his bag to get the papers he hid.

“Here...” Tom hands page after page to Andi. He then grabbed a pillow and fluffed it up and laid on his stomach to rest.

“Wow... Bill's handwriting is so awesome...!!” Andi started... “hmm... I am gonna need some help translating some of this though... like.. oh my God.. Bill spells picnic SO cute!!.. doesn't he realize there is no K in picnic? He spelled it p-i-c-n-i-c-k... so a-dork-able!!” Andi went off giggling at how her little ideas were starting to form.

“Hmm... That's just Bill for you... where does he write about a picnic?” Tom asked holding his hand out so Andi would show him the paper. Andi crawled up next to Tom on the bed and sat down cross legged.

“Here.. something... something.... PICNIC-K...” Andi giggled again. Tom looked at the list and he had a look on his face.

“Wow.. he's added to it since I last peeked at it. OK.. umh... what you are looking at here... lets see... I will explain the list.” Tom begins to help Andi the best he could.


1: A night time .. dinner.. (picnick)... under the stars. Hopefully wish on a falling star together. :) Hmm... what if it's cloudy.??.. maybe we can find the planetarium and go there.

2: Go to beach area... (?) where..? take a walk.. Holding her lovely hands... and talk..... (I wanna know HER more... Not from work things...) ... how to ask her.. what to say...?? :S

3: Finding her favorite flowers.. send her some.. dozens of them... just because....(Gotta find out... does Andi know?) decorate the house... everywhere she goes she will see the plants and flowers and think of me.

“AWHHH!!!!!!Well... her favorite flowers are... well.. for roses.. she LOVES the light purple lavender ones.. but they are SO rare to find... think they are from England though... umh... let's see...I know she likes roses a lot... and she loves the little baby's breath that goes with them in bouquets... hmm.. she grew lavender for a while....OMG.. I think she said something about snapdragons... and this flowering plant thing .. I don't know the name if it... but it's like.. it's like a heart upside down... and it looks like it's bleeding... it's SO hott.... ” Andi started to trail off... “Tomie write this down!!” Andi betched and throws a pen at Tom.

4: CANDY... wait... she's not really like Tom and me with the candy. Does she like gummies like me? ..if so.. which ones?? .. hmm.. she's more like a chocolate girl... :P what kind though... something NICE.. hmm... ohh I know... have some cut up fruits.. STRAWBERRIES... and a fondue pot.... chocolate.. and some nice candies too... we could get an ice cream maker and home make the treats... make little sundaes... and feed each other little treats together. :P

“OMG.. Bill is so romantic... hope he isn't going into PERV mode with him writing that smiley face after the chocolate sauce thing....” Andi adds in... “Well... he's your twin Brother.... GAWW... I bet he WAS thinking something dirty just then!!” Tom looks over at the paper and smiles to see the smiley face with tongue sticking out.

“Heh... go Bill!.. I knew he had it in him... awhh.. my little bro...!!” Tom replies and gets immediately smacked over the head with a pillow from Andi.

“GAWW!!! what..... is it like a Twin thing with you guys?? The Kaulitz eye rape is one thing Tom.. the perv-ness... well sorry to say... some people don't like all that all the time.” Andi turned and faced the bathroom door and continues to read Bill's list. Tom fiddles for a minute soaking in what she said to him.

5: We BOTH love pizza... oohhh ... I will take her out to a nice Italian shop and then when the pizza is ready it will be cut into the shape of a heart! She will be SO surprised to see that!

6: Get DVD's of favorite TV show and make a weekend marathon of it... cuddling and watching the show until we have seen it all.. the whole season. (hmmm... I know she's not a chick flick person... will have to check her DVDs to find which ones she has.. she's more like me I think.. ACTION and Martial arts.) could be interesting....

7: Go out on a boat for a dinner cruise around the bay. (?) does she get seasick.. :S hope not... have dinner catered on the yacht... and dance maybe... Gaw... I can't dance... not like THAT kinda dancing...people make those funny YOUTUBE videos about how I dance.... hmm (take lessons without her knowing!!)

Andi breaks out into riotous laughter.

“OMG!! BILL BALLROOM DANCING!!!!.. OMG... THAT IS TOO FUNNY.. I.. I... I.. CAN'T STOP LAUGHING...” Andi even gets Tom in on the laughing... and suddenly there is a knock on the door. Andi quickly hides the papers under the sheets and throws a pillow on top of it and sits on the pillow. It was Bill.

“Hey... what's so frickin funny? What I miss?” Bill asks as Tom tells him to come in.

“Tom was singing Scotty Vanity's song 'Let's Dance' and I just imagined him wearing lime green fish nets and hot pink stilettos!!” Andi tries to calm down.”What's up sweetie... you look a little flustered and upset... what you got there?”

Bill sets down 6 DVDs on the bed.

“I thought maybe I could do something for Mariana tomorrow afternoon.... or evening... and just welcome her back here.. something nice... just to relax and
watch movies all night with me... but I am not sure which ones... I kinda wanted a whole THEME thing... you know.. kinda like a date around it!” Bill looks and shrugs and traces his fingers over the DVD case on top. “I didn't know she was into action and fantasy films so much. You should see.. she has ALL of the LOTR films, Tons of vampire films... OMG.. she even has Labrynth, the Dark Crystal.. BOTH of the Neverending Story films...The Secret of Nimh.. omg.. she is like totally awesome with the DVD's”

“Bill!! I just had an idea... I will help you in the morning to set up this super nice date thing and all... if Mari is coming back tomorrow and she is dealing with all that stuff.. then we don't want her to be all stressed out. So I will help you with getting a nice dinner set up and all.. and then we can decorate the Den room all super HOTT and you guys can relax and watch a movie... and she won't have to lift a finger.. we can do it all!!”

“Hey... yeah!!... I will cook her something nice..... but what.. I will make something like her favorite dish!!” Bill answers excitedly.

“WTF??!! you CANNOT cook Bill!!” Tom sits up and tries to stop Bill from his wild romantic idea from becoming reality.

“I can too!” Bill betches back.

“Dude, you burn WATER!!” Tom threw back. The infamous Kaulitz STARE DOWN was on!

“WATCH ME TOM!” Bill replies... “Andi I need to know where the cookbooks are in the morning too.”

“Dude... I am getting the fire department ready for this one... Tom's right Bill... I don't have a good feeling about this... you.. cooking.. and kitchens... it spells disaster with a capital D” Andi replies... “Ohh.. firemen.. HOTT firemen... ohh I am calling RIGHT NOW!!”

Andi gets a stare from Tom just then. She didn't realize that the stare from Tom was actually him showing that he was getting jealous.

“OK... but Bill.. you will NOT be in that kitchen alone. ALL of us will have to be down there... you are not getting out of our sights...” Tom added... “I bet Gustav and Georg could cook better than you ever could.”

“Fine... then ALL of you will cook the dinner for Mari and me then!! you guys seriously have some BUTT kissing to do when she gets back.. SO.. I think it would be so great to see you guys do something nice to welcome her back home.” Andi gives Tom and Bill their famous stare right back at them.

“Ok fine Andi... I know... umh... I will get the guys ready to go... I know they have been up for awhile watching TV anyway... I will tell them we are going out.” Bill replied and got up and left, closing the door behind him.

Andi grabbed the list and continued.

“oh my God.. what is he gonna do like the whole list in one night? I mean.. there are like at least 50 things on here!!” Andi whispered looking at the list again.

“Ok.. here we are now... we were at #8” Tom adds in as he leans over to look at the pages.

8: Dress up the backyard and have a European get away night for her. With nice music, dinner, wine and candles. Talk about all the places she wants to go... (hopefully with ME.)

9: Two words.. MEIN JUMBIE!!! Get the plane and hit the park... we could fly planes together... or a kite even... just something nice... (But I want MEIN JUMBIE.)


“OMFG... he wants to fly JUMBIE on a DATE!!! WTF?!! Oh well... Mari thought it was so cute to watch Bill with it.. .I think she would LOVE to do that with him... wow.. Jumbie... Bill mentioned Jumbie.... I think I am gonna die of laughter tonight!!!” Andi went on about Bill's ideas.

10: What kind of art does she like? I heard she studied it in college... and modeled for painters... I would love to take her to her favorite museum and have her tell me all about what she likes.

“AWH.. I will have to give Bill the brochures for the art galleries in Balboa Park.. she LOVES it there!!... OH... and there is so much room they can do SO much there in one day.... oh this will be like a whole day thing for them.” Andi wrote notes on the page. Tom just looked at Andi and how excited she was getting. A few ideas were brewing in his mind too. He wondered if Andi had actually ever been on a decent date before. He thought it would be kinda nice to make a list of his own... about HER.

11: Find an awesome video arcade and challenge her to a few games... much better than staying home and playing on the Wii or on the Playstation. The other guys hog it all the time anyway. What would she play?? or maybe we could go.. NEIN... after Gusti and his BOWLING IDEA... that won't work... we could go out and shoot some pool.. they call it Billiards too here.. hmm weird...

12: Maybe hit up a local street fair.. sort of like the one we first went too.. but with international foods, crafts and shopping... we can have fun and I will buy her things from all over the world from there... and then I want to take her there for real.

13: head to the highest point in town (where??) and watch the lights of the city come on all around below us.... and then maybe we could stay up all night... and watch the sun rise again.

14: When Georg's car gift arrives... we can take a drive together up the coastline. I would be mesmerized to watch how much fun she has.. windows ( or top?) rolled back.. wind in her hair as we drive real fast without a care in the world.

15: She didn't get on the Ferris wheel at the carnival.. hmm... maybe something like a carousel.. that would be kinda cute... a little chivalrous (SP?) I would be on the horse next to her... and see how many kisses I could give her until the ride is over.

“AWHH!” Tom and Andi say at the same time. Tom adds in “I hope they are not dizzy when they got off the ride.”

16: Find out which one of her favorite bands in is town and take her to the concert.. with all the trimmings to see the band and hang out with them. (I know.. people think I will say ONLY TOKIO HOTEL... but I know she likes other bands too... DUR!).. which ones will she want to see?

17: Maybe go out to a lake.. with little duckies... and feed the ducks and the birds... and then take a pair of binoculars and look at the birds... maybe butterflies too.

18: I found out about the flower fields here. I want to take her there and watch her walk through the fields with me.... Then sit down somewhere on a soft blanket in the field. (hope it smells as good as her perfume) and then get as many flowers as I can from there and bring them home for her to remember the day.

19: Take her to the studio with me for a little while... or here at home... sit close on the piano bench together... and see what we come up with... to write a song together.

20: Book a weekend away for her... she could even go alone.. but I want to take her on a vacation with me... and just pamper the **** out of her.. have fun and give her a back massage in the hot tub. :P hope she wears that bikini again....

“Another smilie face... wow.. OK BILL!!” Andi giggled.

“Hey.. you two did look really hot in those bikini's...” Tom added. Andi blushed remembering how embarrassed she was that night.

21: Get a bag of pennies and throw them into a fountain together and make wishes... about our future together... then .. well... I hope maybe.. it would be nice to make a time capsule... kinda like memories of when we first met through this time... and... open it a few years from now. (will we still be together??) :S

22: First snow... well.. not HERE.. it doesn't snow here.. does it... watch the snow fall... take her ice skating... and snuggle up afterwards with hot cocoa or coffee... hope she won't throw snowballs at me... heehee...

23: I have seen her look at the hot air balloons when they go up before sunset... maybe we could go up in one... oh God.. I will probably be closing my eyes the whole time screaming.. but.. maybe she will too...

24: Take a tour of the city and all the houses she ever wished to live in... daydream about living in there... and what the people are like that actually do own the houses.

25: Take her home with me..... hopefully... to stay.


Andi and Tom are quiet for a few moments. Bill had only written 25 things down... but to Bill.. they were Big things. Andi looked at Tom for a moment.

“Tom!! OMG... he wants to take her home with him to GERMANY!!!... somehow I feel I need to help Bill do all this.. I mean.. we stole the notebook.... it was violating his privacy and all.. and umh... well.. it's just SO nice and all.. and I know that Mari would just fall head over heels for some of this stuff... I mean.. this stuff is like SO unlike Bill on some of it... he really had been missing her to write this list.. I mean this is like.. WOAH..” Andi folds the papers and hides them again. Bill knocks on the door followed by a couple more thuds behind him. “Y'all ready to go shopping?” Andi asks through the closed door.

“Ja... umh.. I guess we better.. we ate all the food anyway.” Georg answers as Andi gets up and opens the door.




"OHMYGOD I'M SURROUNDED BY TESTOSTERONE!" Andi yells from her spot between Georg and Gustav in the back seat, since Bill took the front before Andi was even out of the door. She wished then that I was home so she could ride with ME and not have to sit in between the mute and his horrendously obnoxious driving partner.

Andi will never forget going to that police station, never forget the story.

"And can we please not PIMP OUT the Caddy until AFTER I GET IN?! I mean honestly, I'm 5 NOTHING guys. Georg had to LIFT me into the car!" she continues, waving her hands for emphasis. Andi is not pleased she had her rightful spot taken by Mr.I-Can't-Make-Ice-Without-Burning-Down-The-House.

"Hey, you're a legal midget!" Gustav says, poking Andi in her side.

"I am legally small and adorable so shut your mouth." Andi mumbles, sending a death glare to her left.

"Children stop bickering, we're here now." Bill says, smirking. Tom rolls his eyes and parks the car, purposely leaving it 'pimped'.

"Do you need to be lifted out?" Georg asks as Andi looks down at the ground. It seems miles away from her.

"I do not need to be lifted! I am perfectly capable of getting out!" Andi argues, biting her lip for saying that. She makes her way towards the edge... and ever so gracefully falls flat on her bum when she attempts to jump out, causing everyone to laugh so hard that they might just die from lack of oxygen. Andi secretly wishes that they do die. A slow painful death.

"Are you okay...An...Di?" Tom asks, breaking up his sentence with laughter.

"I'm fricking fine," Andi yells, picking herself up off the ground and dusting the dirt off the back of her skinny jeans, "Let's just get this thing over with."

"Oh someone's a little angry." Bill says, poking Andi in her shoulder, causing Andi to smack Bill.

"It hurts to freaking walk!" Andi grumbles and Tom takes a shopping cart, picking Andi up and putting her in it.

"There now you don't have to walk." Tom says, turning into the cereal isle. They desperately needed Frosted Flakes and Cocoa Puffs.

"I WANNA PUSH ANDI!" Georg yells suddenly. Tom raises an eyebrow but steps back from the cart, causing Andi to flail around in the small enclosed basket.

"TOM! GOD NO! DO YOU HONESTLY TRUST HIM?! MY LIFE IS IN HIS HANDS NOW!" she screams, causing a complete scene.

Luckily, no one cares about teenagers who are pushing a teenage midget girl in a shopping cart. Tom rolls his eyes and kneels down in front of Andi in the basket.

"If he kills you, I'll make sure to sue in your honor, kay?" Tom says before kissing her forehead lightly and walking over to the cereal, grabbing 5 boxes of each kind they like.

"Georg, I'm warning you, if Mari comes home and finds me with a broken anything you're going to be in deeper ***** then you already are. You're going to have to buy her TWO cars!" Andi says, an attempt at a threat.

"Yeah, yeah whatever!" Georg says and starts to randomly back up to the beginning of the isle.

"What the he-OHSWEETMOTHERMARYLORDALMIGHTJESUS!" Andi screams as Georg runs full force down the isle, letting go of the basket. The Andi Express travels swiftly down the isle, and the isle following that before gracefully turning, due to Andi's flailing. A crash is heard soon after and Andi's distant voice rings through the almost empty store.

"GEORG YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER!" Tom screams as the four guys run down the isles towards the mess. They turn the corner and soon find the basket had collided with a wall, tipped the basket over and spilled the poor girl onto the floor.

"You monster." Andi says, throwing one of her Converse at Georg, as it had fallen off during the accident. Georg laughs as Andi attempts to stand up, but the ride had made her dizzy enough to where she can't even see straight.

That's probably why her shoe landed in a freezer of meat rather then Georgs face.

"Oh my god." Tom says, eyes wide from shock.

"Jesus." Bill whispers, putting his hand over his mouth and trying to contain laughter.

"Maybe you shouldn't have let Georg push her in the cart." Gustav says to Tom.

"Andi, are you ok?" Georg asks, choking on his own laughter.

"Go die somewhere." Andi says, standing up and walking away to retrive her shoe, accidently running into a shelf. She can't even walk straight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Would you just SHUT UP! God, I KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO COOK FREAKING PASTA!" Andi and Bill scream together. Andi is more or less still angry about her little joy ride and Bill is truely annoyed by Georg's constant talking and instruction.

"I was just trying to help!" Georg says, throwing his hands up in the air.

"You've helped enough, Martha Stewart!" Tom says, throwing an apron at Georg. An apron with pink ruffles around the halter strap and edgeing the pockets.

"WTF is this?!" Georg asks, oblivious to the importance of such a garment.

"An apron, retard." Andi scoffs.

"Look I apologized, what more do you want from me?!" Georg rolls his eyes and throws the spron back to Tom.

"Wear the apron." Andi says, smirking. Bill, Tom and Gustav look from the devil to Andi and back to Satan.

"Oh my-"

"You owe her." Bll says, cutting off Georg. And he totally does owe Andi, for pain and suffering.

"I do-"

"It's either this or I can sue." Andi says, raising an eyebrow.

"She has witnesses to." Gustav adds. Georg stiffens and reluctantly puts on the apron, tieing the ruffly ribbons around his waist.

"How long do I have to wear this?" he asks, reluctantly waving to some laughing guys who walk by the isle.

"Untill I can succesfully ignore the burning need to strangle you with one of my chains." Andi says, swinging her hips a little to emphasize the fact she indeed, has chains on her pants that she can remove and use a murder weapon.

But that would not be ok with the TH fangirls. OR Mari.

Not at all.
"Fine." Georg says through his teeth and grips the bar on the shopping cart. People stare. Lots of people stare.

"So Georg-Ina, please follow me as I move to the sauce isle. Make sure to swing those hips, that apron just ACCENTUATES your curves!" Andi says, grabbing Tom's hand and pulling him with her.

"Yeah that's right, bring your little boy toy with you to protect you. DO NOT THROW RICE AT ME!" Georg whines.

Tom pulls out the shopping list from his pocket.

“We might as well get what we need for this.. as well as the other foods we ate all up.”

"Fudgesicles because Bill ate them all." Andi says to Tom.

"TOM ATE THEM AND YOU KNOW IT!" Bill cries, stomping his foot. ..Like a 5 year old.

“Half the box was already gone before I even had ONE, Bill...” Tom glared at Bill. Bill just stared down the aisle.

“Ohh pasta... here we are Andi.. what kind do we need?” Bill goes on.. ignoring the fudgesicle matter.

“He ate like a depressed school girl the first week” Gustav whispered into Andi's ear “never seen him eat that much chocolate before.. gave him a stomach ache.”

Andi walks over to Bill as she rolls her eyes.

“OK.. we are making parmesan chicken for tomorrow night, Bill.. so we will need... NO DON'T GET THAT CRAP IN A CAN!! I WANT THE REAL STUFF!” Andi yells at Bill as he grabs a container of Kraft graded parmesan cheese.

Bill frowns at Andi.

“But it's parmesan cheese....” Bill whines.
“NEIN!!” Georg goes off.. “Bill.. you have to do it from scratch! It's the PROPER way to do it.. I will go to the cheese aisle and get it.”

Georg runs down the aisle.. his little pink apron swaying as he runs.
“OMG where's MY CAMERA... oooohhh.. TOMIE.. give me your cell phone!!” Andi yells while she's trying not to laugh so hard.

Andi runs after Georg and finds him standing before the case of cheese and snaps a few pics of him quickly as he complains about the selection.

She runs back to Tom and hands him the phone.

“OK. We all gotta split up if we are to get this done faster.” Gustav adds in suddenly.

“EEWW!! Like I am gonna trust you guys to get the right stuff.. I mean c'mon.. Bill wanted that grated cheese junk.. just because you think it says something on the label.. doesn't mean it's any good.” Andi betches back.

“I am not leaving Andi.. I don't wanna mess this up.” Bill adds.

Georg returns with 5 wedges of parmesan cheese and a few other kinds. He is using the apron to hold them all in his arms.

“OMG.. I handed you the phone back WAY TOO soon...!!” Andi cracks up again and so does the rest of the group.

Georg gets a pouty look on his face.
“I am gonna make you all pay for this!”

“Georg.... CAR!!” was all Bill said to him and suddenly Georg stopped and glared. He then straightened out his apron and smoothed it out. “So... my lady.. is there anything else I may fetch from your list?” Georg politely asked Andi.

“We need some fresh fruits... Martha... can you handle that for me?” Andi asks with a smirk. Georg nods and walks off grumbling under his breath to get the fruits and veggies.

“Ok..... Tom.. you are on the food replacement detail.. the list of things you guys ate up and all.. go get more... we will probably need another shopping cart for all that.” Andi turned around to see Tom coming back up the aisle riding on the back of the cart like a skateboard.
Andi hands Tom the page of things to get and lets Tom loose in the store to complete it.

“C'mon Bill... we gotta get the special stuff...” Andi grabs Bill's arm.. he seemed to be shaking a little. “Bill.. what's wrong?”

“Just realizing how far I am willing to go...” Bill whispered as he looked around the store.. feeling it may not be the last time he will have to ask Andi to help him figure things out there.

“AWH.... Bill you will be fine.. you're like my big brother and I am here to make sure you come back to normalcy...” Andi chuckles and gives Bill a huge bear hug.... her head barely hitting Bill's throat. “GAW.. you are like Giraffe tall Bill!!” and that made Bill smile.

Bill leans down and kisses Andi on the forehead. “And your my bestest little buddy!” which made Andi think of Winnie the Pooh and piglet just then.

Little did Bill and Andi know, Tom saw the whole thing.... and he was not impressed. Tom thought Andi was hitting on Bill... and his jealousy began to boil a little more as the minutes passed.

Tom took his cart and ignored the pair for the rest of the shopping trip... buying whatever he felt they needed in the house. He replaced the coffee and things. He even got some cereal straws... Andi's favorite.. and some of her favorite orange juice. He got boxes and boxes of poptarts, and other junk food.

The group finish the shopping and all meet back up at the checkout counter... with 4 carts full of food. Andi runs up to Tom to thank him for the poptarts and cereal straws. She goes to kiss him on the cheek and Tom just turns his head and looks the other way. Then he turns around and grabs a magazine and tries to read it.

Andi tries to ask Tom what is wrong and why he is upset. Tom huffs and snaps at Andi. “Can't you see I am trying to READ!”

Andi's jaw drops in shock and then she turns around and runs out to the car so Tom did not see her cry.

Bill wondered what was up with Tom. “Tom what the heck was that all about.. I thought you really liked Andi?”

“And you just HAD TO go and KISS her.. didn't you BILL!” Tom shouted back at his twin... dropped the magazine and threw some money at Bill to pay for the food...then stormed out of the grocery store.

Bill turns and looks at Georg and Gustav as if he had no idea what Tom was talking about. Georg is very shocked.

“You are doing all this for Mari... and then you go and kiss Andi... man.. what the **** has gotten into you??!!”

“What are you all talking about???” Bill suddenly puts his manicured hands up to his face in shock. “OMG... All she did was give me a hug... I kissed her on the forehead to thank her for making me feel better... and he gets all like THAT!!?? Oh wow.. where did he go??!! I better explain it to him!!” Bill gets all upset at the misunderstanding and tries to leave. Georg and Gustav gently hold Bill back.

“No... leave him alone to calm down... talk to him when you get back to the house. I know how you guys get when you argue.. I don't think the whole parking lot needs to know what is going on right now.” Georg explains to Bill.



"Andi?" Tom calls as he walks to get the car but stopping when he sees Andi sitting on the curb and ripping up grass. She looks up to see who was calling her name, but keeps ripping up the grass when she sees the last person she wants to see right now. At least, that's what she's telling herself over and over. The ideas not really getting through though. Andi rolls her eyes and keeps ripping up the grass, looking down at the ground to avoid looking at Tom. But Tom's not having any of that.

Tom closes the door to the Cadillac, walking over to Andi. He stops in front of her and crosses his arms, staring her down like she was some puppy who just ripped up his favorite hat.

"Why? WHY WERE YOU FLIRTING WITH MY BROTHER?! I mean GOD, We're doing everything to get him and Mari back together, WHY WOULD YOU GO AND RUIN THAT?! This was YOUR idea anyway!" Tom yells. Andi looks up at him, blood boiling. She stands up (a sad attempt to look tougher considering she's a whole foot shorter then Tom).

"Why would you even think like that?! Exactly, we're doing a lot for them! And yeah most of it was my idea! So why do you think I would ruin it?! I'm not fricking Paris Hilton, I don't ruin relationships like that. But thanks for thinking that I do, thanks for thinking I slut around with guys and kill love. Sorry if Bill was fricking thanking me for helping him out, sorry if he's become one of my best friends, almost my brother too." Andi says, glaring at Tom and eyes filling with tears.

"Oh." Tom is finally able to say after 5 minutes. Andi shakes her head and looks down, mumbling something about boys being retarded.

"I didn't know." Tom says quietly.

"You didn't know because you didn't care enough to take some time to figure out what was going on, you only cared enough to think I would do something so sleezy I'm getting STD's just thinking about it." Andi snaps.

That was totally necessary.

"Look I'm sorry, OK?!" Tom snaps back, looking about as sincere as OJ Simpson.

"Why do you even care?" Andi mumbles, wrapping her hoodie tighter around her. The wind was making the temp drop a little more then normally.

"I..We...I..."

Silence.

"Figures." Andi mumbles before turning to walk away and down the road. Tom grabs her arm and spins her around so fast she sees purple stars. Stars aren't supposed to be purple.

"What?!" Andi hisses. Tom looks down and snakes his arm around her waist, pulling her in closer to him.

"This." he whispers before closing the distance between them and kissing her. Andi pulls away quickly.

"WHAT THE ****?!" she yells before slapping Tom, straight across the mouth. HARD. Then she grabs his shirt and pulls him down to her, kissing him back. They both pull back and Tom looks down at Andi a bit before pulling her to his chest and resting his chin on her head.

"I'm so sorry for upsetting you. I was jealous, really jealous, because I want... I like you a lot... And I wanted you to be mine, so I'm hoping now that I am asking you to be my girlfriend, you won't slap me again... and say yes." Tom says and Andi pulls away, a look of confusion on her face.

"Uhm... Are you sure you want a girl like me? I mean honestly, I'm... I can't be like all those other girls... I'm not easy or anything like the groupies and I don't want that." Andi says quietly, now doubting the meaning behind his kiss.

"Andi... Everything like that ended when I met you. I don't want a one night stand, I don't even care about those girls. I care about you and only you. I want YOU and ONLY YOU." Tom says, brushing hair from her face. Andi's mouth falls open and she looks down so Tom can't see how much she's blushing.

"I guess silence is nein." Tom says quietly, dropping his hands from Andi and gently pushing back from her. He turns to leave but Andi grabs his hand, pulling him back. She looks up at him and her heart shatters as she sees his eyes wet, almost about to cry.

"Silence doesn't mean a no," she says and entwines their fingers together, "It means absolutely." They both smile together and look down, blushing.

"We should get back to the guys."Andi says as she sees them walking out of the store. Tom puts his arm around Andi, pulling her close to his side.

Bill, Gustav and Georg push the shopping carts out to the SUV and Georg starts to complain as Bill just tosses some of the grocery bags into the back. Bill was still upset.

“Bill.. you cant just do that! You have to gingerly put the stuff in the right places or you will end up cracking the eggs and squishing the bread! And we spent SO much time picking out all the right stuff. You want to ruin it?” Georg whines as he puts the bags back into the cart.

“Georg it's late.. lets just get it in there and go.” Bill says quickly. “If you care so much about the bread and eggs then you can carry them in your lap when you get in... oh.. and you still have your apron on.”

Georg stops and looks down. He quickly takes the apron off and throws it into the car.

“Guys put all the dairy over here and all the soft stuff there and then there won't be any fighting over it OK?” Gustav interjects.


Bill's back is turned and Tom comes up behind him and slightly pushes him.

“Don't go around kissing my girlfriend again, Bill.”

“Girlfriend? Tom.. what did you do? You asked Andi out because she hugged me and I kissed her forehead? That whole issue with that one girl was years ago Tom.. I thought you would have gotten over it by now!” Bill started to argue. “Andi did you explain the truth to him?”

“Yeah... I did.. but... Tom why are you blaming Bill.... what is going on?” Andi replied.

“Just wanna make sure he knows in his head where it should be at. We are here in a grocery store parking lot in the middle of the frickin night to get HIS girlfriend back... and I want to make sure that he knows there is a hands off policy going on now.” Tom says, staring Bill down.

“OMG Tom... I am not a piece of MEAT! And Neither is Mari!” Andi walks around the spatting twins and helps Georg and Gustav put the groceries in the car. GINGERLY.. just the way Georg wanted.

“So... haven't you had your fun with Mari? You know.. that whole little thing during the party when she was dancing with you.... don't tell me that when she did that little hip sway dance thing you didn't want to kiss her too with it!” Bill started to get angry now.. his jealousy flared up now.

“BILL! I AM NOT TRYING TO STEAL YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!” Tom yells at his twin. “I care about Andi... SHE is my girlfriend now. Even if I wanted Mari. ..She would never go for my type... I swear all that eyeliner is making you BLIND Bill... you can't see past it to realize just how much Mariana is in love you, can you?”

Bill stepped backward and turned to get into the car. He sat quietly and alone for a moment before reaching into his jacket pocket and getting his sunglasses. It was 2AM.... yet he needed them.

Everyone finished putting the things in the back and no one could see out the back window. Andi was once again seated between Gustav and Georg in the back and Tom climbed in and revved the engine. Before heading out to the street.

Tom got to the streetlight where Mari's other house was. He turned and noticed Bill staring up at the neighborhood.

“Sorry Bro... really...” Tom whispered.
Andi was watching carefully to them to make sure they didn't fight again. Bill turned to look at Tom and she saw from the streetlights a glimmering tear roll down Bill's cheek from under the sunglasses.

“No Tom... you were right... and I'm sorry too.”

I am reposting the chapter because it got messed up and cut off with the big typing.

CHAPTER 10: BILL'S NOTEBOOK: Cowrote my myself and Andi.


CHAPTER 10: BILL'S NOTEBOOK


“So Tomie... where's the notebook pages??!!.. I so have to get started right away... OMG .. this is gonna be SO good!” Andi waved her hands as she looked around Tom's room. Tom flopped on the bed and reached into his bag to get the papers he hid.

“Here...” Tom hands page after page to Andi. He then grabbed a pillow and fluffed it up and laid on his stomach to rest.

“Wow... Bill's handwriting is so awesome...!!” Andi started... “hmm... I am gonna need some help translating some of this though... like.. oh my God.. Bill spells picnic SO cute!!.. doesn't he realize there is no K in picnic? He spelled it p-i-c-n-i-c-k... so a-dork-able!!” Andi went off giggling at how her little ideas were starting to form.

“Hmm... That's just Bill for you... where does he write about a picnic?” Tom asked holding his hand out so Andi would show him the paper. Andi crawled up next to Tom on the bed and sat down cross legged.

“Here.. something... something.... PICNIC-K...” Andi giggled again. Tom looked at the list and he had a look on his face.

“Wow.. he's added to it since I last peeked at it. OK.. umh... what you are looking at here... lets see... I will explain the list.” Tom begins to help Andi the best he could.


1: A night time .. dinner.. (picnick)... under the stars. Hopefully wish on a falling star together. :) Hmm... what if it's cloudy.??.. maybe we can find the planetarium and go there.

2: Go to beach area... (?) where..? take a walk.. Holding her lovely hands... and talk..... (I wanna know HER more... Not from work things...) ... how to ask her.. what to say...?? :S

3: Finding her favorite flowers.. send her some.. dozens of them... just because....(Gotta find out... does Andi know?) decorate the house... everywhere she goes she will see the plants and flowers and think of me.

“AWHHH!!!!!!Well... her favorite flowers are... well.. for roses.. she LOVES the light purple lavender ones.. but they are SO rare to find... think they are from England though... umh... let's see...I know she likes roses a lot... and she loves the little baby's breath that goes with them in bouquets... hmm.. she grew lavender for a while....OMG.. I think she said something about snapdragons... and this flowering plant thing .. I don't know the name if it... but it's like.. it's like a heart upside down... and it looks like it's bleeding... it's SO hott.... ” Andi started to trail off... “Tomie write this down!!” Andi betched and throws a pen at Tom.

4: CANDY... wait... she's not really like Tom and me with the candy. Does she like gummies like me? ..if so.. which ones?? .. hmm.. she's more like a chocolate girl... :P what kind though... something NICE.. hmm... ohh I know... have some cut up fruits.. STRAWBERRIES... and a fondue pot.... chocolate.. and some nice candies too... we could get an ice cream maker and home make the treats... make little sundaes... and feed each other little treats together. :P

“OMG.. Bill is so romantic... hope he isn't going into PERV mode with him writing that smiley face after the chocolate sauce thing....” Andi adds in... “Well... he's your twin Brother.... GAWW... I bet he WAS thinking something dirty just then!!” Tom looks over at the paper and smiles to see the smiley face with tongue sticking out.

“Heh... go Bill!.. I knew he had it in him... awhh.. my little bro...!!” Tom replies and gets immediately smacked over the head with a pillow from Andi.

“GAWW!!! what..... is it like a Twin thing with you guys?? The Kaulitz eye rape is one thing Tom.. the perv-ness... well sorry to say... some people don't like all that all the time.” Andi turned and faced the bathroom door and continues to read Bill's list. Tom fiddles for a minute soaking in what she said to him.

5: We BOTH love pizza... oohhh ... I will take her out to a nice Italian shop and then when the pizza is ready it will be cut into the shape of a heart! She will be SO surprised to see that!

6: Get DVD's of favorite TV show and make a weekend marathon of it... cuddling and watching the show until we have seen it all.. the whole season. (hmmm... I know she's not a chick flick person... will have to check her DVDs to find which ones she has.. she's more like me I think.. ACTION and Martial arts.) could be interesting....

7: Go out on a boat for a dinner cruise around the bay. (?) does she get seasick.. :S hope not... have dinner catered on the yacht... and dance maybe... Gaw... I can't dance... not like THAT kinda dancing...people make those funny YOUTUBE videos about how I dance.... hmm (take lessons without her knowing!!)

Andi breaks out into riotous laughter.

“OMG!! BILL BALLROOM DANCING!!!!.. OMG... THAT IS TOO FUNNY.. I.. I... I.. CAN'T STOP LAUGHING...” Andi even gets Tom in on the laughing... and suddenly there is a knock on the door. Andi quickly hides the papers under the sheets and throws a pillow on top of it and sits on the pillow. It was Bill.

“Hey... what's so frickin funny? What I miss?” Bill asks as Tom tells him to come in.

“Tom was singing Scotty Vanity's song 'Let's Dance' and I just imagined him wearing lime green fish nets and hot pink stilettos!!” Andi tries to calm down.”What's up sweetie... you look a little flustered and upset... what you got there?”

Bill sets down 6 DVDs on the bed.

“I thought maybe I could do something for Mariana tomorrow afternoon.... or evening... and just welcome her back here.. something nice... just to relax and
watch movies all night with me... but I am not sure which ones... I kinda wanted a whole THEME thing... you know.. kinda like a date around it!” Bill looks and shrugs and traces his fingers over the DVD case on top. “I didn't know she was into action and fantasy films so much. You should see.. she has ALL of the LOTR films, Tons of vampire films... OMG.. she even has Labrynth, the Dark Crystal.. BOTH of the Neverending Story films...The Secret of Nimh.. omg.. she is like totally awesome with the DVD's”

“Bill!! I just had an idea... I will help you in the morning to set up this super nice date thing and all... if Mari is coming back tomorrow and she is dealing with all that stuff.. then we don't want her to be all stressed out. So I will help you with getting a nice dinner set up and all.. and then we can decorate the Den room all super HOTT and you guys can relax and watch a movie... and she won't have to lift a finger.. we can do it all!!”

“Hey... yeah!!... I will cook her something nice..... but what.. I will make something like her favorite dish!!” Bill answers excitedly.

“WTF??!! you CANNOT cook Bill!!” Tom sits up and tries to stop Bill from his wild romantic idea from becoming reality.

“I can too!” Bill betches back.

“Dude, you burn WATER!!” Tom threw back. The infamous Kaulitz STARE DOWN was on!

“WATCH ME TOM!” Bill replies... “Andi I need to know where the cookbooks are in the morning too.”

“Dude... I am getting the fire department ready for this one... Tom's right Bill... I don't have a good feeling about this... you.. cooking.. and kitchens... it spells disaster with a capital D” Andi replies... “Ohh.. firemen.. HOTT firemen... ohh I am calling RIGHT NOW!!”

Andi gets a stare from Tom just then. She didn't realize that the stare from Tom was actually him showing that he was getting jealous.

“OK... but Bill.. you will NOT be in that kitchen alone. ALL of us will have to be down there... you are not getting out of our sights...” Tom added... “I bet Gustav and Georg could cook better than you ever could.”

“Fine... then ALL of you will cook the dinner for Mari and me then!! you guys seriously have some BUTT kissing to do when she gets back.. SO.. I think it would be so great to see you guys do something nice to welcome her back home.” Andi gives Tom and Bill their famous stare right back at them.

“Ok fine Andi... I know... umh... I will get the guys ready to go... I know they have been up for awhile watching TV anyway... I will tell them we are going out.” Bill replied and got up and left, closing the door behind him.

Andi grabbed the list and continued.

“oh my God.. what is he gonna do like the whole list in one night? I mean.. there are like at least 50 things on here!!” Andi whispered looking at the list again.

“Ok.. here we are now... we were at #8” Tom adds in as he leans over to look at the pages.

8: Dress up the backyard and have a European get away night for her. With nice music, dinner, wine and candles. Talk about all the places she wants to go... (hopefully with ME.)

9: Two words.. MEIN JUMBIE!!! Get the plane and hit the park... we could fly planes together... or a kite even... just something nice... (But I want MEIN JUMBIE.)


“OMFG... he wants to fly JUMBIE on a DATE!!! WTF?!! Oh well... Mari thought it was so cute to watch Bill with it.. .I think she would LOVE to do that with him... wow.. Jumbie... Bill mentioned Jumbie.... I think I am gonna die of laughter tonight!!!” Andi went on about Bill's ideas.

10: What kind of art does she like? I heard she studied it in college... and modeled for painters... I would love to take her to her favorite museum and have her tell me all about what she likes.

“AWH.. I will have to give Bill the brochures for the art galleries in Balboa Park.. she LOVES it there!!... OH... and there is so much room they can do SO much there in one day.... oh this will be like a whole day thing for them.” Andi wrote notes on the page. Tom just looked at Andi and how excited she was getting. A few ideas were brewing in his mind too. He wondered if Andi had actually ever been on a decent date before. He thought it would be kinda nice to make a list of his own... about HER.

11: Find an awesome video arcade and challenge her to a few games... much better than staying home and playing on the Wii or on the Playstation. The other guys hog it all the time anyway. What would she play?? or maybe we could go.. NEIN... after Gusti and his BOWLING IDEA... that won't work... we could go out and shoot some pool.. they call it Billiards too here.. hmm weird...

12: Maybe hit up a local street fair.. sort of like the one we first went too.. but with international foods, crafts and shopping... we can have fun and I will buy her things from all over the world from there... and then I want to take her there for real.

13: head to the highest point in town (where??) and watch the lights of the city come on all around below us.... and then maybe we could stay up all night... and watch the sun rise again.

14: When Georg's car gift arrives... we can take a drive together up the coastline. I would be mesmerized to watch how much fun she has.. windows ( or top?) rolled back.. wind in her hair as we drive real fast without a care in the world.

15: She didn't get on the Ferris wheel at the carnival.. hmm... maybe something like a carousel.. that would be kinda cute... a little chivalrous (SP?) I would be on the horse next to her... and see how many kisses I could give her until the ride is over.

“AWHH!” Tom and Andi say at the same time. Tom adds in “I hope they are not dizzy when they got off the ride.”

16: Find out which one of her favorite bands in is town and take her to the concert.. with all the trimmings to see the band and hang out with them. (I know.. people thin I will say ONLY TOKIO HOTEL... but I know she likes other bands too... DUR!).. which ones will she want to see?

17: Maybe go out to a lake.. with little duckies... and feed the ducks and the birds... and then take a pair of binoculars and look at the birds... maybe butterflies too.

18: I found out about the flower fields here. I want to take her there and watch her walk through the fields with me.... Then sit down somewhere on a soft blanket in the field. (hope it smells as good as her perfume) and then get as many flowers as I can from there and bring them home for her to remember the day.

19: Take her to the studio with me for a little while... or here at home... sit close on the piano bench together... and see what we come up with... to write a song together.

20: Book a weekend away for her... she could even go alone.. but I want to take her on a vacation with me... and just pamper the **** out of her.. have fun and give her a back massage in the hot tub. :P hope she wears that bikini again....

“Another smilie face... wow.. OK BILL!!” Andi giggled.

“Hey.. you two did look really hot in those bikini's...” Tom added. Andi blushed remembering how embarrassed she was that night.

21: Get a bag of pennies and throw them into a fountain together and makes wishes... about our future together... then .. well... I hope maybe.. it would be nice to make a time capsule... kinda like memories of when we first met through this time... and... open it a few years from now. (will we still be together??) :S

22: First snow... well.. not HERE.. it doesn't snow here.. does it... watch the snow fall... take her ice skating... and snuggle up afterwards with hot cocoa or coffee... hope she won't throw snowballs at me... heehee...

23: I have seen her look at the hot air balloons when they go up before sunset... maybe we could go up in one... oh God.. I will probably be closing my eyes the whole time screaming.. but.. maybe she will too...

24: Take a tour of the city and all the houses she ever wished to live in... daydream about living in there... and what the people are like that actually do own the houses.

25: Take her home with me..... hopefully... to stay.


Andi and Tom are quiet for a few moments. Bill had only written 25 things down... but to Bill.. they were Big things. Andi looked at Tom for a moment.

“Tom!! OMG... he wants to take her home with him to GERMANY!!!... somehow I feel I need to help Bill do all this.. I mean.. we stole the notebook.... it was violating his privacy and all.. and umh... well.. it's just SO nice and all.. and I know that Mari would just fall head over heels for some of this stuff... I mean.. this stuff is like SO unlike Bill on some of it... he really had been missing her to write this list.. I mean this is like.. WOAH..” Andi folds the papers and hides them again. Bill knocks on the door followed by a couple more thuds behind him. “Y'all ready to go shopping?” Andi asks through the closed door.

“Ja... umh.. I guess we better.. we ate all the food anyway.” Georg answers as Andi gets up and opens the door.




"OHMYGOD I'M SURROUNDED BY TESTOSTERONE!" Andi yells from her spot between Georg and Gustav in the back seat, since Bill took the front before Andi was even out of the door. She wished then that I was home so she could ride with ME and not have to sit in between the mute and his horrendously obnoxious driving partner.

Andi will never forget going to that police station, never forget the story.

"And can we please not PIMP OUT the Caddy until AFTER I GET IN?! I mean honestly, I'm 5 NOTHING guys. Georg had to LIFT me into the car!" she continues, waving her hands for emphasis. Andi is not pleased she had her rightful spot taken by Mr.I-Can't-Make-Ice-Without-Burning-Down-The-House.

"Hey, you're a legal midget!" Gustav says, poking Andi in her side.

"I am legally small and adorable so shut your mouth." Andi mumbles, sending a death glare to her left.

"Children stop bickering, we're here now." Bill says, smirking. Tom rolls his eyes and parks the car, purposely leaving it 'pimped'.

"Do you need to be lifted out?" Georg asks as Andi looks down at the ground. It seems miles away from her.

"I do not need to be lifted! I am perfectly capable of getting out!" Andi argues, biting her lip for saying that. She makes her way towards the edge... and ever so gracefully falls flat on her bum when she attempts to jump out, causing everyone to laugh so hard that they might just die from lack of oxygen. Andi secretly wishes that they do die. A slow painful death.

"Are you okay...An...Di?" Tom asks, breaking up his sentence with laughter.

"I'm fricking fine," Andi yells, picking herself up off the ground and dusting the dirt off the back of her skinny jeans, "Let's just get this thing over with."

"Oh someone's a little angry." Bill says, poking Andi in her shoulder, causing Andi to smack Bill.

"It hurts to freaking walk!" Andi grumbles and Tom takes a shopping cart, picking Andi up and putting her in it.

"There now you don't have to walk." Tom says, turning into the cereal isle. They desperately needed Frosted Flakes and Cocoa Puffs.

"I WANNA PUSH ANDI!" Georg yells suddenly. Tom raises an eyebrow but steps back from the cart, causing Andi to flail around in the small enclosed basket.

"TOM! GOD NO! DO YOU HONESTLY TRUST HIM?! MY LIFE IS IN HIS HANDS NOW!" she screams, causing a complete scene.

Luckily, no one cares about teenagers who are pushing a teenage midget girl in a shopping cart. Tom rolls his eyes and kneels down in front of Andi in the basket.

"If he kills you, I'll make sure to sue in your honor, kay?" Tom says before kissing her forehead lightly and walking over to the cereal, grabbing 5 boxes of each kind they like.

"Georg, I'm warning you, if Mari comes home and finds me with a broken anything you're going to be in deeper ***** then you already are. You're going to have to buy her TWO cars!" Andi says, an attempt at a threat.

"Yeah, yeah whatever!" Georg says and starts to randomly back up to the beginning of the isle.

"What the he-OHSWEETMOTHERMARYLORDALMIGHTJESUS!" Andi screams as Georg runs full force down the isle, letting go of the basket. The Andi Express travels swiftly down the isle, and the isle following that before gracefully turning, due to Andi's flailing. A crash is heard soon after and Andi's distant voice rings through the almost empty store.

"GEORG YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER!" Tom screams as the four guys run down the isles towards the mess. They turn the corner and soon find the basket had collided with a wall, tipped the basket over and spilled the poor girl onto the floor.

"You monster." Andi says, throwing one of her Converse at Georg, as it had fallen off during the accident. Georg laughs as Andi attempts to stand up, but the ride had made her dizzy enough to where she can't even see straight.

That's probably why her shoe landed in a freezer of meat rather then Georgs face.

"Oh my god." Tom says, eyes wide from shock.

"Jesus." Bill whispers, putting his hand over his mouth and trying to contain laughter.

"Maybe you shouldn't have let Georg push her in the cart." Gustav says to Tom.

"Andi, are you ok?" Georg asks, choking on his own laughter.

"Go die somewhere." Andi says, standing up and walking away to retrive her shoe, accidently running into a shelf. She can't even walk straight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Would you just SHUT UP! God, I KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO COOK FREAKING PASTA!" Andi and Bill scream together. Andi is more or less still angry about her little joy ride and Bill is truely annoyed by Georg's constant talking and instruction.

"I was just trying to help!" Georg says, throwing his hands up in the air.

"You've helped enough, Martha Stewart!" Tom says, throwing an apron at Georg. An apron with pink ruffles around the halter strap and edgeing the pockets.

"WTF is this?!" Georg asks, oblivious to the importance of such a garment.

"An apron, retard." Andi scoffs.

"Look I apologized, what more do you want from me?!" Georg rolls his eyes and throws the spron back to Tom.

"Wear the apron." Andi says, smirking. Bill, Tom and Gustav look from the devil to Andi and back to Satan.

"Oh my-"

"You owe her." Bll says, cutting off Georg. And he totally does owe Andi, for pain and suffering.

"I do-"

"It's either this or I can sue." Andi says, raising an eyebrow.

"She has witnesses to." Gustav adds. Georg stiffens and reluctantly puts on the apron, tieing the ruffly ribbons around his waist.

"How long do I have to wear this?" he asks, reluctantly waving to some laughing guys who walk by the isle.

"Untill I can succesfully ignore the burning need to strangle you with one of my chains." Andi says, swinging her hips a little to emphasize the fact she indeed, has chains on her pants that she can remove and use a murder weapon.

But that would not be ok with the TH fangirls. OR Mari.

Not at all.
"Fine." Georg says through his teeth and grips the bar on the shopping cart. People stare. Lots of people stare.

"So Georg-Ina, please follow me as I move to the sauce isle. Make sure to swing those hips, that apron just ACCENTUATES your curves!" Andi says, grabbing Tom's hand and pulling him with her.

"Yeah that's right, bring your little boy toy with you to protect you. DO NOT THROW RICE AT ME!" Georg whines.

Tom pulls out the shopping list from his pocket.

“We might as well get what we need for this.. as well as the other foods we ate all up.”

"Fudgesicles because Bill ate them all." Andi says to Tom.

"TOM ATE THEM AND YOU KNOW IT!" Bill cries, stomping his foot. ..Like a 5 year old.

“Half the box was already gone before I even had ONE, Bill...” Tom glared at Bill. Bill just stared down the aisle.

“Ohh pasta... here we are Andi.. what kind do we need?” Bill goes on.. ignoring the fudgesicle matter.

“He ate like a depressed school girl the first week” Gustav whispered into Andi's ear “never seen him eat that much chocolate before.. gave him a stomach ache.”

Andi walks over to Bill as she rolls her eyes.

“OK.. we are making parmesan chicken for tomorrow night, Bill.. so we will need... NO DON'T GET THAT CRAP IN A CAN!! I WANT THE REAL STUFF!” Andi yells at Bill as he grabs a container of Kraft graded parmesan cheese.

Bill frowns at Andi.

“But it's parmesan cheese....” Bill whines.
“NEIN!!” Georg goes off.. “Bill.. you have to do it from scratch! It's the PROPER way to do it.. I will go to the cheese aisle and get it.”

Georg runs down the aisle.. his little pink apron swaying as he runs.
“OMG where's MY CAMERA... oooohhh.. TOMIE.. give me your cell phone!!” Andi yells while she's trying not to laugh so hard.

Andi runs after Georg and finds him standing before the case of cheese and snaps a few pics of him quickly as he complains about the selection.

She runs back to Tom and hands him the phone.

“OK. We all gotta split up if we are to get this done faster.” Gustav adds in suddenly.

“EEWW!! Like I am gonna trust you guys to get the right stuff.. I mean c'mon.. Bill wanted that grated cheese junk.. just because you think it says something on the label.. doesn't mean it's any good.” Andi betches back.

“I am not leaving Andi.. I don't wanna mess this up.” Bill adds.

Georg returns with 5 wedges of parmesan cheese and a few other kinds. He is using the apron to hold them all in his arms.

“OMG.. I handed you the phone back WAY TOO soon...!!” Andi cracks up again and so does the rest of the group.

Georg gets a pouty look on his face.
“I am gonna make you all pay for this!”

“Georg.... CAR!!” was all Bill said to him and suddenly Georg stopped and glared. He then straightened out his apron and smoothed it out. “So... my lady.. is there anything else I may fetch from your list?” Georg politely asked Andi.

“We need some fresh fruits... Martha... can you handle that for me?” Andi asks with a smirk. Georg nods and walks off grumbling under his breath to get the fruits and veggies.

“Ok..... Tom.. you are on the food replacement detail.. the list of things you guys ate up and all.. go get more... we will probably need another shopping cart for all that.” Andi turned around to see Tom coming back up the aisle riding on the back of the cart like a skateboard.
Andi hands Tom the page of things to get and lets Tom loose in the store to complete it.

“C'mon Bill... we gotta get the special stuff...” Andi grabs Bill's arm.. he seemed to be shaking a little. “Bill.. what's wrong?”

“Just realizing how far I am willing to go...” Bill whispered as he looked around the store.. feeling it may not be the last time he will have to ask Andi to help him figure things out there.

“AWH.... Bill you will be fine.. you're like my big brother and I am here to make sure you come back to normalcy...” Andi chuckles and gives Bill a huge bear hug.... her head barely hitting Bill's throat. “GAW.. you are like Giraffe tall Bill!!” and that made Bill smile.

Bill leans down and kisses Andi on the forehead. “And your my bestest little buddy!” which made Andi think of Winnie the Pooh and piglet just then.

Little did Bill and Andi know, Tom saw the whole thing.... and he was not impressed. Tom thought Andi was hitting on Bill... and his jealousy began to boil a little more as the minutes passed.

Tom took his cart and ignored the pair for the rest of the shopping trip... buying whatever he felt they needed in the house. He replaced the coffee and things. He even got some cereal straws... Andi's favorite.. and some of her favorite orange juice. He got boxes and boxes of poptarts, and other junk food.

The group finish the shopping and all meet back up at the checkout counter... with 4 carts full of food. Andi runs up to Tom to thank him for the poptarts and cereal straws. She goes to kiss him on the cheek and Tom just turns his head and looks the other way. Then he turns around and grabs a magazine and tries to read it.

Andi tries to ask Tom what is wrong and why he is upset. Tom huffs and snaps at Andi. “Can't you see I am trying to READ!”

Andi's jaw drops in shock and then she turns around and runs out to the car so Tom did not see her cry.

Bill wondered what was up with Tom. “Tom what the heck was that all about.. I thought you really liked Andi?”

“And you just HAD TO go and KISS her.. didn't you BILL!” Tom shouted back at his twin... dropped the magazine and threw some money at Bill to pay for the food...then stormed out of the grocery store.

Bill turns and looks at Georg and Gustav as if he had no idea what Tom was talking about. Georg is very shocked.

“You are doing all this for Mari... and then you go and kiss Andi... man.. what the **** has gotten into you??!!”

“What are you all talking about???” Bill suddenly puts his manicured hands up to his face in shock. “OMG... All she did was give me a hug... I kissed her on the forehead to thank her for making me feel better... and he gets all like THAT!!?? Oh wow.. where did he go??!! I better explain it to him!!” Bill gets all upset at the misunderstanding and tries to leave. Georg and Gustav gently hold Bill back.

“No... leave him alone to calm down... talk to him when you get back to the house. I know how you guys get when you argue.. I don't think the whole parking lot needs to know what is going on right now.” Georg explains to Bill.



"Andi?" Tom calls as he walks to get the car but stopping when he sees Andi sitting on the curb and ripping up grass. She looks up to see who was calling her name, but keeps ripping up the grass when she sees the last person she wants to see right now. At least, that's what she's telling herself over and over. The ideas not really getting through though. Andi rolls her eyes and keeps ripping up the grass, looking down at the ground to avoid looking at Tom. But Tom's not having any of that.

Tom closes the door to the Cadillac, walking over to Andi. He stops in front of her and crosses his arms, staring her down like she was some puppy who just ripped up his favorite hat.

"Why? WHY WERE YOU FLIRTING WITH MY BROTHER?! I mean GOD, We're doing everything to get him and Mari back together, WHY WOULD YOU GO AND RUIN THAT?! This was YOUR idea anyway!" Tom yells. Andi looks up at him, blood boiling. She stands up (a sad attempt to look tougher considering she's a whole foot shorter then Tom).

"Why would you even think like that?! Exactly, we're doing a lot for them! And yeah most of it was my idea! So why do you think I would ruin it?! I'm not fricking Paris Hilton, I don't ruin relationships like that. But thanks for thinking that I do, thanks for thinking I slut around with guys and kill love. Sorry if Bill was fricking thanking me for helping him out, sorry if he's become one of my best friends, almost my brother too." Andi says, glaring at Tom and eyes filling with tears.

"Oh." Tom is finally able to say after 5 minutes. Andi shakes her head and looks down, mumbling something about boys being retarded.

"I didn't know." Tom says quietly.

"You didn't know because you didn't care enough to take some time to figure out what was going on, you only cared enough to think I would do something so sleezy I'm getting STD's just thinking about it." Andi snaps.

That was totally necessary.

"Look I'm sorry, OK?!" Tom snaps back, looking about as sincere as OJ Simpson.

"Why do you even care?" Andi mumbles, wrapping her hoodie tighter around her. The wind was making the temp drop a little more then normally.

"I..We...I..."

Silence.

"Figures." Andi mumbles before turning to walk away and down the road. Tom grabs her arm and spins her around so fast she sees purple stars. Stars aren't supposed to be purple.

"What?!" Andi hisses. Tom looks down and snakes his arm around her waist, pulling her in closer to him.

"This." he whispers before closing the distance between them and kissing her. Andi pulls away quickly.

"WHAT THE ****?!" she yells before slapping Tom, straight across the mouth. HARD. Then she grabs his shirt and pulls him down to her, kissing him back. They both pull back and Tom looks down at Andi a bit before pulling her to his chest and resting his chin on her head.

"I'm so sorry for upsetting you. I was jealous, really jealous, because I want... I like you a lot... And I wanted you to be mine, so I'm hoping now that I am asking you to be my girlfriend, you won't slap me again... and say yes." Tom says and Andi pulls away, a look of confusion on her face.

"Uhm... Are you sure you want a girl like me? I mean honestly, I'm... I can't be like all those other girls... I'm not easy or anything like the groupies and I don't want that." Andi says quietly, now doubting the meaning behind his kiss.

"Andi... Everything like that ended when I met you. I don't want a one night stand, I don't even care about those girls. I care about you and only you. I want YOU and ONLY YOU." Tom says, brushing hair from her face. Andi's mouth falls open and she looks down so Tom can't see how much she's blushing.

"I guess silence is nein." Tom says quietly, dropping his hands from Andi and gently pushing back from her. He turns to leave but Andi grabs his hand, pulling him back. She looks up at him and her heart shatters as she sees his eyes wet, almost about to cry.

"Silence doesn't mean a no," she says and entwines their fingers together, "It means absolutely." They both smile together and look down, blushing.

"We should get back to the guys."Andi says as she sees them walking out of the store. Tom puts his arm around Andi, pulling her close to his side.

Bill, Gustav and Georg push the shopping carts out to the SUV and Georg starts to complain as Bill just tosses some of the grocery bags into the back. Bill was still upset.

“Bill.. you cant just do that! You have to gingerly put the stuff in the right places or you will end up cracking the eggs and squishing the bread! And we spent SO much time picking out all the right stuff. You want to ruin it?” Georg whines as he puts the bags back into the cart.

“Georg it's late.. lets just get it in there and go.” Bill says quickly. “If you care so much about the bread and eggs then you can carry them in your lap when you get in... oh.. and you still have your apron on.”

Georg stops and looks down. He quickly takes the apron off and throws it into the car.

“Guys put all the dairy over here and all the soft stuff there and then there won't be any fighting over it OK?” Gustav interjects.


Bill's back is turned and Tom comes up behind him and slightly pushes him.

“Don't go around kissing my girlfriend again, Bill.”

“Girlfriend? Tom.. what did you do? You asked Andi out because she hugged me and I kissed her forehead? That whole issue with that one girl was years ago Tom.. I thought you would have gotten over it by now!” Bill started to argue. “Andi did you explain the truth to him?”

“Yeah... I did.. but... Tom why are you blaming Bill.... what is going on?” Andi replied.

“Just wanna make sure he knows in his head where it should be at. We are here in a grocery store parking lot in the middle of the frickin night to get HIS girlfriend back... and I want to make sure that he knows there is a hands off policy going on now.” Tom says, staring Bill down.

“OMG Tom... I am not a piece of MEAT! And Neither is Mari!” Andi walks around the spatting twins and helps Georg and Gustav put the groceries in the car. GINGERLY.. just the way Georg wanted.

“So... haven't you had your fun with Mari? You know.. that whole little thing during the party when she was dancing with you.... don't tell me that when she did that little hip sway dance thing you didn't want to kiss her too with it!” Bill started to get angry now.. his jealousy flared up now.

“BILL! I AM NOT TRYING TO STEAL YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!” Tom yells at his twin. “I care about Andi... SHE is my girlfriend now. Even if I wanted Mari. ..She would never go for my type... I swear all that eyeliner is making you BLIND Bill... you can't see past it to realize just how much Mariana is in love you, can you?”

Bill stepped backward and turned to get into the car. He sat quietly and alone for a moment before reaching into his jacket pocket and getting his sunglasses. It was 2AM.... yet he needed them.

Everyone finished putting the things in the back and no one could see out the back window. Andi was once again seated between Gustav and Georg in the back and Tom climbed in and revved the engine. Before heading out to the street.

Tom got to the streetlight where Mari's other house was. He turned and noticed Bill staring up at the neighborhood.

“Sorry Bro... really...” Tom whispered.
Andi was watching carefully to them to make sure they didn't fight again. Bill turned to look at Tom and she saw from the streetlights a glimmering tear roll down Bill's cheek from under the sunglasses.

“No Tom... you were right... and I'm sorry too.”

CHAPTER 11: THE MAKE-UP DATE

"OK you guys, today is THE DAY, we're getting Bill and Mari TOGETHER. It has totally be the SH!!T. We're talking romantic, awesome, and any other amazing describing word you can think of." Tom starts, shoving the box of Frosted Flakes across the counter to Andi, who groans.

"We should start on this when I haven't just woken up 3 minutes ago." Andi mumbles and pours some milk in her bowl.

“Awwwh someone needs a hug!" Georg says, opening his arms and coming towards Andi.

"No, someone needs to NOT be woken up at 10 in the fricking morning after staying up until 4 trying to put away groceries and figure out what's going to happen today!" Andi snaps.

Suddenly the doorbell rings. Bill almost drops his glass of Orange Juice and yells '********EE' loudly

"Bill calm the PHUCK down!" Andi scolds before getting up and...well, dragging herself to the door. "Guys!....THE MOVERS ARE HERE!" she yells from the front door.

“WELL... WE SHOULD HELP THEM!!” Bill yells.

“I AM HELPING! How would you know where Mari wants her stuff if I wasn't going to stand here, telling you where to put it! She's very particular about this!!!” Andi replies to Bill.

"Come on cupcake don't be such a powder puff... you can at least help with the boxes of clothes." Tom says, ruffling Andi's idiot morning hair.

“But what if I left the room to get the boxes of clothes and the movers or GEORG puts something where it shouldn't be and then everyone would have to situate it again! Taking up more time when we could be making dinner! I mean come on it's just easier this way!" Andi betches as she walked outside to the truck.

“OK... so what did she bring?! GEORG DO NOT BREAK ANYTHING! GUSTAV DON'T TOUCH THAT! It's going to be on MY backside if you guys damage Mari's things!" Andi whines while sitting on a couch that was temporarily residing on the front lawn. Georg and Gustav pick up the couch, carrying it and Andi back inside.

"YOU BETTER NOT BREAK ME WHILE I'M ON THIS!! THE LAST TIME I TRUSTED MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS I ENDED UP WITH TEMPORARY LOSS OF SIGHT!" Andi screams while clutching the edges of the couch, remembering her ride in the shopping cart.

"Chill out princess, we're not going to hurt you or anything of more importance." Gustav says, rolling his eyes... this earns him a good old pillow-smack from Andi. As Andi and the couch are carried into the den, another truck pulls up in front of the house, adding to the chaotic mess. It was from a local florist and plant nursery.

"FLOWERS?!" Andi yells from the Living room and Bill's eyes grow wide.

"Oh **** no... not now. I wanted them tomorrow." Bill mumbles while running to the door.

“WHAT THE PHUCK?! BILL WHAT DID YOU DO?! NOW WE HAVE TO SET UP FLOWERS?! Oh you better pay me for this!!” Andi screams as the flowers and plants come trailing out of the truck by 4 men carrying them.

"Don't worry! I GOT IT! Don't be mad at me please!" Bill says as he rushes to the flower delivery men.

2 Hours pass and the gang gets all my stuff together and soon, around 12:30 I pulled up in my “RENTAL” (cough cough ) car. Bill looks out the window to see if more stuff has come as I cut the engine and he immediately dashes to the dining room, where Andi and Tom are discussing tonight's activities. He collides with Andi and latches on to her short frame.

“******** ANDI......MARI'S HOME.... HALP MEH PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!" he screams, causing Andi to go deaf.

“Sorry... can't hear you now that my ear drum has been blown out." Andi scoffs and wiggles out from Bill's grasp.

I slowly get out of the car and wave to the movers who are pulling off down the street. I figured they had finished in half the time I expected and I wondered how that could be. My cell phone rang and I pulled it out of my handbag and answered it. It was my brother Chris. Word had gotten to him about the sale of the Ridley house. The house was left to ME in my mother's will. Chris was the oldest Son and he told me that it was his responsibility to get all of the financial holdings taken care of. I argued with him for about 10 minutes about family issues before I walked inside the house and put my bag down in the front hall on the steps leading to the living room.

“I do NOT need this, Chris... I grew up in that house and it was given to ME! I could do whatever I want with it after a certain amount of time... so I DID. I sold the house because of all the bad memories I had there. I prefer the house here on Satanas Street anyway. Besides... I needed the money because I am interested in looking at some property over seas in Europe soon!!” I screamed into the cell phone as I was looking into my bag. I rounded the corner of the stairs and smacked right into Bill as he was coming out of the dining room. The collision caused my bag to fall out of my arms, spilling onto the floor, and I stumbled backwards. Bill grabbed me to prevent me from falling as well. He pulled me close and just held me for about 2 minutes, absolutely silent.

“Uhm, I gotta go, unpack some stuff...” I say nervously... not thinking I would be in Bill's arms that quickly upon getting home.... also hoping he didn't understand what I meant when I said I was looking into buying property OVER SEAS.

“Oh, yeah, uhm, heh, I...We...” As Bill stumbles with his words as he is holding me. Georg and Gustav come in, dusting and rushing around with frilly aprons on and cans of pledge in their hands. Dear lord save us. What are they DOING??

"Is there something I should know about what is going on in here?!" I ask, looking around as the G's use the hand held Swiffers on my dining table and the sidebar. I also noticed that there were no moving boxes piled high around the house. I wanted to ask them where they all were now.

"Probably." Gustav says and he sprays the dining table and wipes it down with a cloth.

“Guys.. umh... OMG... where did all these flowers come from!!” I wail as I finally notice each and ever bouquet around the dining room, and I walk around the house to see them every where. Huge bouquets of lavender and light purple roses mixed together. I had NEVER seen that combo before... it smelled SO GOOD.

I saw out of the corner of my eye the backyard now.

“NO WAY!!” I scream as I try to fling open the latch and throw open the back door as quickly as I can. There are vines to me left of honeysuckle. Fresh ones.. the old plants had died one cold winter. They were pulled out and brand new ones were put in. There were garden boxes surrounding the table with a mix of roses and one with BLEEDING HEARTS.. the flowers my mother told me about when I was younger. The flowers that bled when they were watered and in bloom... I walked up towards them. They were fresh in bloom... and bleeding right before my eyes as the gooey pollen serum dripped from the tip of the heart to the soil below.

Bill followed me outside and stood behind me, shy and quiet as I looked around. He suddenly touched my shoulder and I slowly turned toward him.

“Do you like it?” Bill asked me shyly.

“Bill this is wonderful! How was this done? Who did this?...I .. I ... am speechless!!” I look around again.

“I did it... I wanted you to be comfortable coming back here...” Bill kicked a pebble on the ground as he looked down, then back up.

“Why Bill, you didn't need to go out of your way for me like this....” I said softly.

“Yes... I did. Tom made me realize something recently.” Bill said slowly.

“And what would that be?” I asked curious as to how Bill was during the time I did not speak to him, or the other guys.

“Ohh.. nothing really... just... I use too much eyeliner...” Bill answered and kicked the pebble again. I took his hand and looked right in his eyes.

“I don't know what your makeup has to do with all this, Bill... but.. thank you... for all that you have done here today. You didn't have to do this, but you made this a wonderful and special home for me once again.” I replied and I moved forward and hugged Bill and kissed him, finally. To Bill... this kiss was like Kill Hannah's song, LIPS LIKE MORPHINE. He had been waiting 3 weeks for one from me... replaying in his mind what the last one was like. It was better than he remembered. He sighed deeply from missing me and hoping that more hugs and kisses would come soon, knowing that this fighting was now over. As long as the others didn't screw anything up again.

“Bill.. snap out of it lover boy and hurry up!! Timex is tickin' man.. you wanna ruin the plans?” Georg yells through the back door.

“Well, hello to you too, Georg!” I answer with a giggle. Georg suddenly gets nervous. He realized I had not fully forgiven him for the car accident yet. I give Georg a cute little stare and crook my finger calling him to come outside to me. Georg walks out onto the patio and stands before me, thinking I am going to scream again and punish him.

“Did you and Gustav help those movers today?” I ask Georg with one brow raised.

“Ja... least we could do for you today. Felt it was our duty to do something... cause... well.. about the car and all... you know.” Georg replied nervously, hoping I would not smack him.

“Georg... the car accident was almost a month ago. I have forgiven you and Gustav for it now. Everything is fine. Just please ask me first if you need anything again, you got that?!” I explain as I wrap my arms over Georg's shoulders to give him a bear hug. I hug him and he felt so relieved that I wouldn't kill him.

Bill smiled widely. He knew it would be a great night now.

“Well Gentleman.. I heard something about plans... so I will leave you to it. I have a few things I need to put away, so I will go do that, and then probably fall back asleep for a little while. I have been up all night dealing with packing and moving.” I turn to go back inside.

“Don't worry about dinner when you wake up, Mari!” Andi called from the kitchen.

“I won't.. I was just gonna call the pizza place for us... you know.. Friday night pizza and all... my usual.” I quickly threw out.

“Nein!” everyone yelled out at me... including Andi.

“umh... OK NOW... so no pizza....” I stumble on what to say next. Tom comes over to me and puts his arms on my shoulders and turn me around, heading me out the kitchen door.

“Don't call a pizza place... don't worry about dinner... you won't need to cook either. Just go upstairs and do what you need to do and rest your pretty little head. It's all covered.” Tom quickly blurts out as he lightly shoved me toward the stairs.

I did as ordered by Tom and went upstairs quietly. I opened my bedroom door and was hit with the relaxing scent of lavender once again. There were window boxes lining the balcony of the roses and bleeding hearts as well. A huge bleeding heart bush, positioned right in the corner of the balcony where Bill and I kissed for the first time. I sighed and went back into the room to put my things away from my bags.

After I went upstairs to put my clothes properly away, Andi and Tom set out the BATTLE plan downstairs in the kitchen.

"OK! so everyone, we need to get COOKING. Bahahaha!! chef humor. Anywho... Georg and Gustav you're on salad duty, cut up the lettuce, carrots and other veggies and get them in a bowl and in the fridge, Tom get the chicken breaded and in the oven for ten minutes, Bill try not to cut your hand off and shred the Parmesan." Andi orders.

"Andi, shredding the Parmesan will ruin my nails!" Bill whines, waving his right hand. Andi throws him a death glare.

“Look Princess, I wasn't up until the butt crack of dawn planning this thing with your brother and you for YOU to complain about your nails. You will shred the cheese for your one true love and you will fricking like it!! Anyone else want to complain?" Andi snaps, irritable.

"No." All the boys say and Andi nods.

"Good, and Bill. You'll need to put your hair back." Andi says. Bill covers his head with his arms and backs away yelling.

“NEIN!” he screams. NO ONE TOUCHES MY HAIR. He thought to himself.

"Oh come on Billarina! I have MY hair up... and so does Georgina!" Andi coos and holds up a Disney Princess hair tie. "Look! The hair tie even has Ariel on it! And glitter! You love glitter!" Andi coaxes and Bill shakes his head Trying to run away. Gustav stops him and Georg helps him wrestle Bill into a chair. Andi picked up the brush and stepped behind Bill, getting to work. She brushes Bill's hair up into a high pony and secures it, making sure Ariel is carefully showcased among the sparkles and sticky-uppy layers of Bill's hair.

“OHMYGOD.... MY SWEET GREEN EYES!" I suddenly screamed as I view the sight of Bill's hair in the ponytail. The whole group turns towards the entrance to the kitchen to see me, standing there with my hands covering my face as I grab a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"HAI GURL!" Andi says, and puts her arm around the shocked Bill. "Don't we just look oh so fabu-to-the-lous?!"

"OHMYGOD... I'M NEVER TRUSTING YOU TO BE ALONE WITH BILL AGAIN!" I jokingly yell before running back upstairs and slamming my door. The horror!!

"Ohmygod... she must think I am a total insane dork now!" Bill whispers before hiding behind his hands. Andi and Georg roll their eyes.

"God... it isn't like we dressed you up like Barbie, get over it Diva Star, we have work to do!" Andi says, bouncing over to the fridge and pulling out all sorts of foods.

"BILL PUT THE SPATULA DOWN!" Tom yells and Andi hits her head on a shelf in the fridge trying to spin around.

“Ow! Oh my god, are you planning my murder or something?! JESUS BILL! She'll forget all about it once she sees you tonight, and the backyard and the dinner!" Andi betches and dumps her variety of veggies on the counter.

"SHE SAW ME IN A HIGH PONY TAIL WRAPPED WITH A SPARKLY PRINCESS HAIR TIE!" Bill screams and throws a towel at Andi.

"That's NOTHING, Bill. Tom saw me wake up in one of his T-shirts while I had the biggest hangover ever SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Andi yells back.

"Yeah, but THAT was sexy. Can I see it again?" Tom purrs into Andi's ear, and Georg and Gustav laugh and say 'OOOOOOHHHHH'.

"OK you two, stop sexing each other up and let's get down to business."Gustav adds in.

Andi almost drops the glass bowl she was wiping out at the sound of Gustav's voice and blushes a deep red. "Bill you're not doing that right!" she says, gently pushing Tom away and rushing over to Bill, still flushed.

Bill pouts and crosses his arms. Andi blushes really heavily and turns back to the counter.

“Well I'm trying not to ruin my nails!" Bill snaps and sticks his hip out, arms crossed.

"Bill, you would look good in a chicken suit... so shred the cheese." she says and throws the cheese grater on the counter. Bill looks at it all huffy and begins to play with it.

"Look Paris, do you care about your nails or your girl?! Forget it. Go find any silver in the house, platters, candle holders, all of it and bring it back here. Find the silver polish and polish it. that should keep you busy." Andi says and leans against the counter.

"Awh, Andi they were just joking!" Tom says as he moves toward her and puts his arms around her waist from behind.

“Yeah, well it was embarrassing." Andi says back, her voice barely above a whisper.

"OK.... so Tom's on chicken, Georg's on salad, Gustav, do the cheese and I'll start the cake." Andi adds in louder and everyone stops.

"Cake?!" they all ask together and Andi smirks and nods. "German chocolate cake.... Mari's favorite.”

"I'M DATING MARI NOW!!!" Georg yells and waves his hands in the air.

"NO I AM!!" Gustav says and jumps up and down....like a little naive 5 year old child.

"TOM DON'T YOU EVEN START!" Andi yells as soon as Tom opens his mouth. He closes it and shakes his head.

"I am happy with the girl I have." He says sincerely and Andi smiles.

"And honestly guys, they're not going to eat the whole cake, we'll have some. BELIEVE ME WE'LL HAVE SOME!" Andi cheers and pulls out some cake mix from the cupboard.

“I got the silver." Bill says and piles 4 candle sticks, 3 platters, 5 small dishes and other things on the counter.

"Good. Now polish them, make them shine like little stars and then tell me when you're done....and I'll find some red table clothes for you guys." Andi says and rinses out some crystal wine glasses.

"OHMYGOD THIS STUFF SMELLS HORRID!" Bill screams as he opens the polish. Andi throws a rag at him and puts her finger to her lips.

"Shut up! Mari is upstairs!" she says in a low voice. Tom walks over and smells the polish, making a face.

"God Bill, you could get higher off of this then all your hairspray!" He says and Bill smacks him, pointing a candle stick in his direction.

"Don't make me use this!" He threatens. Bill looks so un-threatening with all his makeup off and in his gray sweats and a Hollister T-shirt. Ariel perched on top of his head, sitting and smiling in her little chair of sparkles doesn't help him much either.

"AWWHH......YOU LOOK SO ADORABLE WITH ARIEL JUST SITTING AND SMILING IN YOUR HAIR!!!" Andi randomly says and runs over to Bill, slinging her arms around his neck and hugging him.

"AWHH!!! TOM LOOK AT OUR TWO LITTLE PRINCESS'S!!!! AREN'T THEY JUST ADORABLE!!!!" Georg says, his voice high pitched.

"Look what you've done!" Bill hisses at Andi and tries to bat her hands away from his hair.

"AWHH!!! MY BABY ANDI AND BABY BROTHER!!! HOW PRECIOUS!!!" Tom says and skips over to the two ponytail-sisters.

"SEE?! DID I NOT TELL YOU?!" Bill semi-yells. Tom laughs and goes back to the chicken, which still hasn't been put in the oven.

"Revenge is coming your way, Andi. I suggest you sleep with someone watching the door at night." Gustav says and laughs as Bill throws daggers with his eyes like a mind ninja towards Andi.

"Try me, Bubbles of joy. Now polish that silver!" Andi snaps to Bill and he scowls before jumping up on the counter and dipping the rag in the polish.


"This stuff smells horrible, I don't understand why you're making me do this I mean it's totally un-" Bill whines again.

"BILL SHUT THE FRICK UP! GOD THIS IS YOUR DATE WE'RE TRYING TO SET UP! YOUR DATE WE'RE SPENDING HOURS PLANNING AND SETTING UP! IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO WHINE GET OUT OF THE EFFING KITCHEN AND GO SET UP THE DEN!" Andi yells and everyone stares at her. "Sorry, I'm just tired..." she adds.

Andi grabbed 3 of the candle sticks and two dishes along with the platter, the polish and the rag. Bill followed her into the den and she sat on the couch with the polish, quickly wiping down the candle sticks before putting them in a line on the coffee table with the platter in front of them ,holding the two dishes and two wine glasses.

"Move this chair." she says and Bill becomes mobile after standing in the same spot for ten minutes while Andi polished and set up the table.

"Sorry about being so... not so helpful. I guess I am just nervous " Bill mumbles and sits next to Andi on the couch as she looks around the room.

"We need the red cloths in here. Be right back." Andi says, ignoring Bill's comment. She rushes to the linen closet and pulls out a red silk table runner and some matching napkins. She throws the napkins at Bill and points to the lamps. "You, put the napkins over the lamps." she orders and she carefully moves the tray before sliding the runner over the table and adding a napkin to the tray's set up.

Andi grabs some candles and centers them in the candle sticks, making sure that they're OK to burn.

"Done in here, just need to get the candy to fill the dishes with and the wine bucket filled with ice. We'll keep that in the freezer while you eat...AND, I bought you guys something for while you watch movies." Andi finished and runs to her room. She returns with dark red velvet throw pillows and a single dark red chenille throw blanket.

"I expect clothes to stay on while you're under there." she says before smirking and dodging a pillow thrown by Bill.

Bill smiles and blushes, "Thanks." he says and carefully spread the blanket in a stylish fashion over the arm of the sofa.

"You're welcome, now come on, I can smell the cake." Andi says and drags Bill through the den. He stops her though just as they're about to get to the door.

"Andi, I REALLY appreciate everything you're doing. Like.....REALLY. A LOT. I don't know how this would go down with out you." Bill says before tackling Andi in a hug. She stumbles backwards. It's about as awkward as a giraffe hugging a penguin. Andi and Bill walk back to the kitchen where the cake is cooling and the guys are in motion, preparing the rest of the night.

"Tom you put the marinara on BEFORE the Parmesan." Andi says and rolls her eyes as Tom stops mid sprinkle.

"Oh...well uh maybe you shouldn't have put me on chicken duty." Tom complains and wipes off his hands before jumping on to the counter and sitting.


"Don't even TRY that with me. Bill finish the chicken and put it in the oven for 25 minutes, Tom, follow me and we'll get the table set up outside." Andi says and pulls Tom off the counter, grabbing a black table cloth and a red runner to spread on the table out on the patio.

Tom and Andi drag a small table over to the center of the patio and slide the table cloth and runner on top of it. They're about to go inside to get some candles and salt and pepper when Andi stops Tom. "We need lights out here." she says and runs to the garage.

"Oh dear god, how many more ideas do you have?" Tom asks as he follows Andi and finds her buried in a box of Christmas lights.

"A million, but we shall save them for another night. Now help me with this!"
Andi and Tom drag a box of lights to the patio and pull out strands of white and red lights.

"How are we going to hang these up?" Tom asks and Andi looks around.

"It's JUST like Bill to move the freaking chairs. I am NOT going inside and dragging a huge chair through the house, waking up Mari so she comes down and sees all of this! No WAY!" Andi betches and Tom shakes his head.

"So we got these out for nothing?!" Tom asks and looks semi-******.

"Bahaha what part of a million ideas do you not understand?" Tom's eyes grow wide and Andi smirks. "I need to get on your shoulders." she says and Tom starts laughing.

“I thought you were going to climb up the side of the house on the vines from the flowers and were going to pull a Tarzan type move!" Tom jokes and Andi looks at him.

"THAT COULD SO WORK!" she yells and waves her hands in the air.

“NO! You will NOT kill yourself tonight. Come here." Tom says and easily picks Andi up. "You're like the fricking size of a cat!" he says and Andi smacks him.

“Hand me some white lights!" Andi hisses and Tom obeys.

"Andi, I'm serious, don't die tonight please." Tom says and stumbles as Andi leans forward and wraps the line of lights around the balcony.

"Well now my life is in your hands. Don't drop me please!" Andi says... as Gustav pops his head out the door quickly.


"Now putting up lights and trying to restart my heart!" Andi snaps and clutches her chest, keeping her balance by grabbing the pole of the balcony. "Gustav you almost killed me!"

"I didn't almost kill you! I'm not the one who is on Tom's shoulders way too close to power lines!" Gustav says and crosses his arms.

"OMG GUYS BILL IS BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS WITH NERVOUSNESS!!!" Georg says, suddenly running into the backyard and Tom spins around too quickly. WAY TOO QUICKLY.

"TOM!" Andi screams as she falls from his shoulders. Luckily Georg was right behind Tom and he catches her.

“Oh my god. THAT WAS SO AWESOME!" Gustav says and starts to laugh hysterically. Andi is just staring blankly at nothing what so ever, trying not to faint.

"Holy crap." she's finally able to whisper and Georg helps her down, holding her arm to keep her balance.

"Is she OK?" Georg asks Tom, who shrugs.

"What's happening out here?!" Bill asks and Andi throws death glares to him. He's eating candy like half an hour before dinner is done! HOW DARE HE RUIN HER DATE LIKE THIS! Or his date, but she planned it.

"Bill, you spit that out right now! You're going to ruin your dinner!! Go inside and watch the chicken! It's going to burn! GOD!" Andi betches and smacks Bill's arm, spilling a handful of M&M's.

“Yeah she's fine!" Tom says and smiles. "Why would she not be fine?" Bill asks and looks from Andi, to the G's, to Tom and back again.

“She just fell from Tom's shoulders while she was trying to put up lights and almost hit the deck but Georg caught her and she was in shock." Gustav explains simply, as if Andi's life wasn't just put in danger.


"OHMYGOD are you OK?! Andi don't die I need you for this! We have to get dinner ready! my nails are goners aren't they?! OHMYGOD...OHMYGOD...OHMYGOD...”

“Bill calm down!" everyone yells, cutting the nervous wreck off.

"Just...go upstairs and shower and get ready, we'll handle the rest!" Andi says, taking charge once more.

"Are you sure?" Bill asks, biting his lip and raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, just go. Relax too. Take some frikin Prozac and get ready." Andi says and Bill launches at her in a hug.

"Thank you!!" he says before running into the house. The G's and Tom glare at Andi.

"WHAT?! You really think it's smart to have him do this when he's nervous?! HE could cut his arm off or something then the date would take place while we are driving to the hospital!" Andi defends herself.

Bill runs upstairs and stops himself in his tracks right before the double doors. He slowly opens them and peeks in to see me sleeping soundly on the bed. He opens the door wide enough and slips in the room quietly, trying not to wake me up. He was nice and quiet and I just laid there sleeping soundly. After about a half hour I was stirred awake by the sound of my blow dryer turning on. The sound stirred me wondering what Bill was doing... but it really was the delicious scent that stirred me awake... wondering if that was his shampoo or a light cologne that smelled so good to me.

I saw Bill look back at the bed from his reflection in the mirror and I quickly pretended to be asleep again. Bill finished his “primping” and came over to the bed and sat down. He saw me smiling lightly and he leaned forward and kissed my forehead to wake me up. I turned and looked at him.

“mhermm...” I mumbled as I woke up. Bill smiled to see my green eyes again.

“Hey sleeping beauty... time to wake up... everything is almost ready. Why don't you get dressed... I know you will have something pretty for dinner.....and umh... meet me downstairs for dinner.... in about an hour.... I have something... I want to show you.... OK?” Bill stumbled on his words slightly.. but he was getting by little by little.

“umhh hmm.... OK hun” I mumbled again and got up out of the bed as Bill headed back downstairs. He came back into the kitchen and waved a thumbs up to everyone.

“Whoo-WHOOO... Look at MR. SEXXII!!!...see.. don't you feel better now, Billarina..... this is MUCH different than how Mari saw you in the ponytail.” Andi toyed with Bill as he came into the room to make sure the last minute prep was ready.

“And she shall NEVER see me like that again.” Bill glared at Andi. Andi giggled back. At him.

“Bill.. I have a feeling you will be seen in a lot of different ways other than that if this keeps up.” Andi joked back. Bill huffed and looked around the house to make sure there wasn't anything else that needed to be done. He put the candy in the dishes in the Den room, and pulled out the DVD's to watch. Andi turned on the air conditioner so it was nice and comfy... a little cuddling trick to make I wanted to use the new blanket with Bill. The time passed quickly and suddenly my voice could be heard from the other side of the house.

"CAN SOMEONE TURN ON THE FREAKING LIGHTS?! I'M GOING TO BREAK MY ANKLE!!" I scream as I attempt to walk down the stairs in heels. IN THE DARK. Andi hears me screaming and starts to run from her spot where she's frosting the cake, but Tom holds her back.

"No, you've done enough, love. Go sit in the dining room to eat, we'll finish up and GUSTAV will go help Mari." Tom says and pushes Andi away lightly. She raises an eyebrow at him but obeys anyway and happily sits down in a chair at the dining table and promptly falls asleep.

Gustav rushes to my side and lightly takes hold of my waist, leading me down the stairs and to Bill, who's standing by the curtained entrance to the patio.

"You ready?" Bill asks and I nod, looking around. I can see Andi asleep at the dining room table and I'm about to ask what's wrong with her but Bill puts his hands over my eyes and leads me out to the patio. "Welcome home." He whispers in my ear and drops his hand to the scene the guys and Andi set up.

The sun had gone down enough now to leave a light glow on the horizon. I stood in the backyard and looked around. There were brand new garden lights all around the backyard to accentuate the plants and the glow was heavenly. The Christmas lights that Tom and Andi put up made the patio area look like it was rimmed in a halo of little stars. There were even little lights all around the flowers and roses that Bill had ordered for the place.

No one in my life had ever gone so far out of their way to welcome me home or make me feel comfortable like that in any way. I felt like a special princess, despite how nervous I was. Though, you could see that Bill was even MORE nervous than I was. He wanted this night to be perfect. He knew that I forgave everyone, but for some reason in the back of his mind, he felt like he was walking on broken glass tonight. I could see it in his eyes. I needed to do something to calm him down. I saw my ipod and the docking station near the window and suddenly Gustav pushed a button and a certain “Soft Rock/Love Songs” playlist I had began to play. It actually made Bill and I relax a little bit and we both nervously smiled at each other. Then Bill pulled out my chair and asked me to sit down.

We sat and Bill held my hand for a moment and we thought of what to talk about since we had not spent time together. Bill sat silently for a moment just playing with his fingers over my hand and I looked at him and worked on some of my German translations in my head. There was SO much I wanted to say to Bill... it seemed a lifetime's worth of things to say all flooded my head at once. I wondered what Bill wanted to say too.. I could tell he was thinking as well. We opened out mouths to speak at the same time and suddenly Georg popped onto the patio.

"Today our main course is a lovely chicken Parmesan, we will be starting you off with a salad and later on our dessert consists of German Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate drizzle. We also have a fine selection of drinks, what can I get you ma'am?" Georg starts... Bill gives him a funny look... trying not to laugh at him.

I raise a brow at Georg, trying not to laugh myself....and ask him for some of the sweetened ice tea I saw in the fridge earlier that day. Georg goes sauntering back into the kitchen and Bill and I raise a brow at each other and laugh. The G's were trying their best to make things up to us, and it was so cute how they were doing it too.

Gusti was now in charge of the kitchen. Somehow, he suddenly turned into Chef Gordon Ramsay, thinking about how many episodes of ****'S Kitchen he saw me watching. Georg came in and started to prepare the glasses of iced tea and he promptly got betched out by Gusti, telling him that his sprigs of mint were too large, and he needed to learn proper “ plating techniques and presentation”. Georg looked at Gusti like he had gone mad. Gusti threw some dirty pots into the kitchen sink full of water and raised his hands in the air telling Georg to get the EFF out of HIS kitchen until he was ready to have Georg serve the dinner.

Tom tried not to laugh too hard and figured he would let the G's have their fun. He worried about Andi now and wanted to go check on her.

Tom walked into the dining room to check on Andi since she's been so quiet, which is completely unlike her. He smiled and leaned against the door frame as he saw her passed out on the table. He stroked back her hair and gently picked her up from her chair. Andi moved a little and woke up, looking up at Tom as he carried her down the hall.

"What the ****?" she askedand Tom gently kissesd her forehead before opening the door to his bedroom and gently placing her on the bed.

"Rest for a bit. I'm going to go get some food for us. You've done a great job. You deserve to rest." Tom said and Andi nods before turning on the TV and covering herself with a blanket.

Tom smiled and headed back to the kitchen, grabbing some of the chicken and cake. He grabbed two cokes and some water and put it all on one of the silver platters before heading back to his room to see Andi just about unconscious again. He sets the tray down and lays next to Andi, gently shaking her shoulder.

"Wkhnm..." Andi mumbles and buries her face in Tom's chest.

"I didn't quite catch that, hun." Tom says and Andi rolls over, pushing her hair out of her face.

"I said, 'what? let me sleep'." she repeats and sits up. Tom shakes his head and holds up a plate of food.

“You need to eat, you ate half a bowl of frosted flakes this morning. You've done too much," Tom says and hands Andi the plate. Andi shakes her head and leans back against the pillows.

They smell like Tom...heavenly TOM scented pillows.

Andi still wanted to slip off into dreamland, but she obliged Tom anyway and ate a little chicken, a bite or two of the cake, grabbed a coke and washed the food down with it quickly, wiped her mouth with the napkin and then felt a little light headed from lack of rest. Tom played with her hair and was surprised to see how quickly Andi ate.

With all that she did that day for Bill and myself, he knew she was exhausted. It made Tom happy to know how much Andi cared about his twin brother and making things right for him. He smiled now; all he wanted to do was to hold Andi to thank her for all her help.

Tom turned to fluff the pillow and have Andi sleep, and when he turned back to Andi he suddenly felt a THUD against his chest as little Andi curled up against him and used him as a pillow, causing Tom to get slammed back onto the bed. Tom managed to get a hand free and turned out the light to let Andi sleep in the glow of the TV.

Bill and I finished our delicious dinner. I knew he had to have help setting this all up... I just didn't know how much. I knew Bill wanted to spend more time with me, so when he took my hand after the dinner was over, I wondered what more there was in store.

“There is more... come with me... “ Bill began and he led me back into the house.

I saw Gusti in Chef mode as we passed the kitchen and I began to chuckle.
“You know, Gusti... you would make Chef Ramsay proud.” I thew out as Bill opened the door to the Den. Gusti smiled wide and so did Georg as they stood together and waved Bill and I off into the Den.

Bill covered my eyes again and led me inside the room. As he did so, Georg and Gusti collapsed against each other tired. They had already loaded the dishwasher and were just waiting for the dessert dishes. Georg went out to get them and turned everything off outside. Gusti ran the dishwasher and wiped everything down. Then the two stood and looked around and then stumbled upstairs to their rooms. It would be along time before they woke up again.

I walked into the room and Bill uncovered my eyes once again. I looked around to see how lovely the room had been redecorated. It had this awesome Gothic theme to it and I turned to Bill.

“The room is wonderful looking, Bill.. is there a theme behind all this?” I smirked at Bill and he smiled back with his tongue out like he was licking his teeth. (which I love to see him do.) and then Bill sat down on the couch.

I sat down next to him and he opened the bottle of sparkling apple cider and poured us some in the wine glasses. It was also a red color. I grabbed a handful of gummies and shared them with Bill. I gave him a little kiss as he handed me the wine glass with the cider in it and I stuffed 3 gummie bears in his mouth then too. Chewing on them he leaned forward and hit the button for the DVD to play.

A familiar scene came on the 60 inch Plasma TV. A moving in shot of the San Francisco Bay area, going over the Ghiradelli Chocolate factory building, then the Blood red letters, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, came on the screen. I lightly gasped, because I absolutely adored this movie.

“OMG.... I love this film, this is a great choice Bill... I haven't seen it in so long too!”.. so if I ever say 'bite me.' now you know what I mean.” I chuckled, snuggled up and drank some of the cider and Bill popped some M&M'S into my mouth as Brad Pitt started talking.

The movie went on and Bill started to get a little sentimental when Louis created Claudia. He actually started to play with MY hair a little when Claudia and Louis would share the coffin together and she curled her little fingers around his hair. With Bill doing that, I snuggled in a little closer and hugged myself, feeling a tingle up my spine. Bill grabbed the blanket then and wrapped it around us. I leaned into his shoulder and looked up into his eyes. They were gleaming now, a bright golden that was accentuated by the glow of the candles. I would have fainted at such a sight, if I was not already melting into him from such a wonderful night. Before the film was over, Bill could hear that my breathing had changed, and I had lightly fallen asleep once again, using his head and chest as a pillow. Bill sighed happily and fell asleep as well, his fingers still wrapping the tendrils of my hair.

FINALLY!!.. aFTER ALL THE TRL DRAMA>>> HERE IT IS>>>


CHAPTER 12: Surprise, Surprise!!

ONE WEEK LATER: A week later a things have died down a little (well between Bill and I, they've heated up )

I had a project I needed to work on and I got up early.... leaving Bill to sleep since we got word there was a concert coming up for them soon. I sat quietly in my back yard now.. setting up my project. I was to paint some artwork for a new album some friends of mine were coming out with. I had my laptop on the table with me to listen to their music for inspiration.

Bill finally woke up and was in a wonderful mood. He peeked outside to see what I was doing before going into the kitchen for a glass of juice. He came to the back door and stood there a few minutes and just watched me.... not saying a word. He watched as I color washed the back layer of the canvas and then my little brush strokes on the outlines of certain areas.

I then heard voices coming from inside the house as Gustav and Georg woke up as well... in a debate over whether they should have pancakes or waffles for breakfast. I yelled back at them to have both, and it was then that I noticed Bill standing there silent.

“Bill! You scared the BEE-Jeezus outta me!! how long have you been standing there?” I asked trying to get my heart to stop pumping too many gallons of blood at once.

“Sorry... do you want something to eat?” Bill asks quietly and kisses my forehead.

“I would but... I don't think Chef Gusti will let me in the kitchen.” I joke as I see Gustav and Georg trying to read boxes of Bisquick. Something in me thought it would turn out bad if I didn't help.

Bill took my hand and I got up and went into the kitchen. I asked him to wake up Tom and see if he wanted anything so I knew how much mix to make. Bill came back and whispered in my ear to make enough for two more people. I gave Bill a look that said... HMM.. SO .. Andi is moving in here for a bit eh?? And Bill gave me a knowing smirk.

I measured out the ingredients for 6 people... enough for pancakes AND waffles. I did not want anyone to complain.. and it looked like the guys were gonna maul something if they didn't eat enough today. They had been working hard all week in the studio working on their 3rd album. The fans were chomping at the bit for new stuff. They had completed 7 out of the 12 songs they were going to include on this one... and were working last minute kinks out of some of the last 5.

Andi comes walking into the kitchen in a light blue set of sweat PJ's. Her hair slightly tosseled.. she walks in and smacks Bill upside the back of the head lightly.

“You scared the BEE-Jeezus outta us Bill!” Andi grumbled. “we were dead asleep when you rattled the door like that!” she sat down and put her hands over her head. Bill just giggled. Something had him in a GREAT mood today and no one would get him down even if they acted like Oscar the Grouch in the morning.

“Late night, Andisaurus Rex?” I ask Andi just to infuriate her. I get a death glare back from her as I giggle. I always mess with her.. she should be used to it by now.

“Why in Haiti are you up this early, Mari? It's SUMMER TIME... no one gets up before 11 AM!!” Andi whines.

“People with JOBS get up early to earn money, TARD!” I throw a spoon at her. “I have a project I was asked to do this weekend, the money from it goes into my special house fund.”

“WAIT....What house fund?!! I thought you sold the other house so you could have this one... didn't you get plenty of money from selling the other house to keep this one nice.. I mean.. wow.. this house is pretty now.” Andi lifts her head in surprise.

Bill looked wide eyed at me and everyone stopped to see my response. I stood quietly and I turned my back on everyone and went to the butcher block table to cut up some fruit. I quietly said over my shoulder,

“I have been looking at a few places over seas in Europe.” I said softly. I knew it would have to be told sometime. I just didn't know when. Bill had a glittering look in his eyes for a moment and he got up to get some more ice for his glass. I thought for a moment he was hiding his face and emotions with the coldness of the freezer, because he took a little TOO long to pull out six pieces of ice.

“Where exactly have you been looking?” Georg decides to inquire. I turn around and raise a brow at him as Bill closes the door to the freezer and stares at me. I felt just then like I was in the middle of a Spanish inquisition.

“Honestly... I have been looking since before you all arrived here.... for the past 6 months. I saw a few little places in nice areas but have not settled down on anything as of yet.” I tried to get out but mumbled mostly.

“Which nice areas?” Gustav added in, knowing that there may be an important road behind all of this.

“CERTAIN.... nice areas...not like here.... lush and green... and..... and.... IS THAT MY PHONE?!!” I call out as I run into the den room. I come out with the handset to my house phone. The band I was working on the project for wanted some last minutes changes. I thanked God for the disruption because I was not so sure I wanted to talk about the issue this far in advance.

Tom finally came out of hiding and looked around the room. He saw Bill with a puppy dog look on his face and knew he walked into something of importance. Tom sat down between Bill and Andi and looked at both of them back and forth for a few minutes as I stood with my back to everyone.... chatting away, flipping pancakes and checking on the waffles. Tom knew there was something he should talk to me about to get info on, and.. there was something he wanted to ask me regarding Andi as well.

I sat in silence eating my breakfast and writing down the notes that my friends had changed. The changes meant I would have to start over.... but I didn't mind. Although... I had to go out and get more supplies. I rinsed my dishes off and put them in the dishwasher.

“ Umh.. guys.. I have to go out now and pick up a few more supplies for this project. They changed it at the last minute and I don't have enough paint.” I informed everyone. Tom took that as an opportunity to talk to me. Almost choking down his waffle and then washing it down with his glass of juice, Tom decides to butt in.

“I am going with you, in fact.... I WILL DRIVE YOU.” Tom insisted with his stare. I knew it meant something. I was in for one of Tom's YODA talks again probably.. but I nudged gently towards Andi and Tom winked while finishing his juice. “OK Tom...RAWR!!! I will get my stuff and we can go.” I went upstairs to get my bag and change my clothes from the ones I wore had a smear or two of paint. I put on a nice pair of jade green sweats from Victoria's Secret and pulled my hair into a little tosseled bun and walked back downstairs. Bill looked at me and asked,

“You gonna be gone for long, hun?”

“AWWHHHH!! My brother called his girlfriend HUN!! OHH COME HERE YOU LITTLE THING YOU!!” Tom squeals just then and gives Bill a bear hug and a knuggie.

“ERR HMMMM!!! I thought you were my DRIVER, TOM!” I cut in so Bill's head didn't get TOO much damage to it. Then added, “I shouldn't be long sweetheart, not more than a hour, I hope” and kiss Bill gently and walk toward the front door. Tom grabs the keys to the rented Caddy and follows after me.

We get down the street and go to the overpass above the highway before either of us speak.

“I need to ask you something, Mari.” Tom starts as he stares out the window, concentrating on his driving.

“What is it?” I wondered what things were going on in his head... especially after walking in on what I said and seeing his brother with his puppy face again. That helpless puppy face that I melt for. I was always a sucker for the stray puppy.. “take me home and love me” look.

“Mari.. I need help.” Tom starts, “ I need to know something.. and I hope you can help me with it.” Tom had utter seriousness in his eyes and on his face.. he was beginning to worry me something fierce!

“Bloody ****...TOM KAULITZ!! don't act like you are gonna frikin DIE!!” I scream out at him, “ What is it!! I mean.. REALLY...you should see your face right now.. I have NEVER seen you like this the entire time you have been here.”

“It's Andi... she... umh...” Tom mumbles...

“OHJEEZUSMARYMOTHEROFGOD.... she's not pregnant is she!!??” I cover my mouth. Tom gives me the most EVIL glare I have ever gotten from him.

“Ja.. right! We've been dating a whole frikin week, Mari... how would she be pregnant if we haven't done anything!!” Tom says angrily at me.

“WELL! I was just.. YOU KNOW.. wait.. whu? You haven't umh...WOW.. that's unusual...although I am greatly proud of you for that!” I answered feeling sheepish now.

“I don't ask what you are doing with Bill? Cause well... Should I ask if YOU are pregnant too?” Tom glares back at me.

“OK OK OK I GET THE EFFIN POINT TOM!! What is going on then CONFARNATE!!!” I have a drama queen moment.

“Andi..... she has...” tom starts....

“uhh huhh.. SPIT it out... good boy...” I reply.

“OK OK OK ... ANDI HAS STOLEN MY HEART AND I WANNA DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR HER JUST LIKE BILL DID FOR YOU!!!!” Tom screams at me. I was SO shocked it took me a minute to translate what he said to me.. because in his desperation.. he shouted in German at me.

I sat for a moment and stared out the windshield.

“Oh... she has... OH THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!” I start to squeal at him, mimicking what he did to Bill earlier.

“So.. I need help knowing what to do for her.. I mean... I know she is younger than us and all.. so.. like.. has she ever had a boyfriend... does she go on dates.. has she ever kissed anyone before me... like all that junk... it would help me a lot.” Tom rambles on nervously.

“Tom.... hunny.... why haven't you asked HER these things...? I mean.. I am sure she would be able to tell you this herself.” I answer as I put my hand on Tom's shoulder.
“Bill wants to keep HIS secrets.... and I do too... I don't want ANDI to know yet.. I want to surprise her.” Tom replied.

Oh OK I get it... wait.. WHUT!! Bill is keeping secrets from me?? about WHAT!!? like a surprise secret or something like that?” I ask raising my brows again and staring Tom down. He didn't like getting caught like that.. he slipped out accidentally that info. He licked his bottom lip before biting it.. but said nothing.

“Yeah well.. can you help me?” Tom asked, looking about as shy as he would be if he was 5 and first kissed a girl on the cheek.

“Sure little Bro.. no problemo” I replied as we turned into the parking lot for the art supply store. “I will tell you all you want to know inside the store.”


BACK AT THE HOUSE.......

"I'M AN EMO KID, NON-CONFORMING AS CAN BE, YOU'D BE NON-CONFORMING TOO, IF YOU LOOKED JUST LIKE ME, I GOT PAINT ON MY NAILS, AND MAKEUP ON MY FACE, I'M ALMOST EMO ENOUGH, TO START SHAVING MY LEGS, 'CAUSE I FEEL REAL DEEP WHEN I'M DRESSING IN DRAG, I CALL IT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, MOST JUST CALL ME A FAG!" Andi sings as she comes into the living room....dancing with her teddy bear, over powering Bill as she catches him outside with my laptop singing along to that 'Blue' song from my youtube playlist.

“You know, that song that was on Radio Disney every half an hour? The one that has the music video with the guys with blue skin?” Andi asks and Bill points to the screen to show her he's watching the video.

“Yeah that one.” Andi replies.” What on Earth are you doing anyway?”

Bill makes as face at Andi as she jumps onto the outdoor couch next to Bill throwing her Bear in the space between them. Bill looks down at the plushie and smirks, picking him up.

"AWH! What's his name?!" he asks and Andi glares, trying to grab her childhood toy back.

"His name is Give Him Back." Andi grumbles. Bill pauses the playlist on my youtube channel and starts to look over the bear.

"His name is Tomi isn't it?!" He jokingly yells suddenly and Andi glares at him, grabbing a candlestick from last week and holding it up like a sword.

"Why don't you have a cup of Shut The EFF Up? ......And put the bear down..." she said and Bill rolled his eyes.

"You wouldn't try and stab me in my neck!" he says and starts to scroll through my playlist again.

"You wanna be a Barbie Girl?!" Bill says, just as the first notes of an unfortunate and annoying song come out of the speakers.

YES, Barbie Girl by Aqua was now playing.

Bill and Andi stared wide eyed at each other as they both giggled and broke out into song.

"I'M A BARBIE GIRL, IN A BARBIE WORLD, LIFE IS PLASTIC, IT'S FANTASTIC!" they both sing together, jumping up from the couch. Andi drops the candle stick and Bill carelessly throws her bear on the floor as they both start hip swinging and pelvic thrusting and all other dance moves they can think of.

"YOU CAN DO MY HAIR, UNDRESS ME EVERYWHERE!" Bill yells and plucks at his t shirt moving his hand over it.

"Ew no..." Andi says and leans away and Bill rolls his eyes at her, and continues getting dirty on the dance floor.



"COME ON BARBIE LET'S GO PARTY!! “ Andi tries to sing low....

“AH AH AH YEAH!!" Bill bops his head like a Valley girl and sings back. Bill bops towards the couch before jumping on it and using a random hair brush as a microphone. Andi jumps up next to him and they sing and dance and shake what their mommas gave them. The song ends and Andi starts to breathe again as Bill sits down with the lap top again.

"WOAH!!" Bill shouts and Andi sits on the back of the couch, looking over his shoulder.

The tab Bill clicked on now was right behind the youtube page, and he hit it on accident. It showed results of my house hunt, and a place I was planning on buying in Germany, that I had placed a bid on... just so happened to be down the street from his apartment complex in Berlin.

"She's going to GERMANY?! OH FINE JUST LEAVE ME HERE!!" Andi says and Bill elbows her leg.

"Andi... what does this mean? Does this mean she loves me?!" He asks, looking at the screen again. “She bid on this place the day we got here!” Andi looked at him.

"Bill... she's loved you ever since the first moment your eyes met." Andi says in a quiet voice and Bill stares at the computer trying to gather himself.

"BILLA AND MARI SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!" Andi sings.

“Oh yeah! I think I should get you back for that Ariel hair TIE!!” Bill reminds Andi and turns on BARBIE GIRL one more time and bops along singing to it just as Tom and I come through the back door seeing it all.

"Ohmygod!" Andi screams as she falls off the back of the couch, smacking her head on the pillow top of the hot tub... and Bill immediately shuts the laptop closed.

"JESUS CHRIST GIVE US WARNING THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO COME INTO THE HOUSE LIKE MICE!!" Andi yells, standing up and Tom bites his lip to stop from laughing.

“Sweet Jesus do NOT tell me that was YOU Bill singing Barbie Girl!!” I wave my hands like a drama queen again, “I swear.. WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU TWO ARE ALONE TOGETHER!! Andi... why is Gerard on the floor?!" I ask and I pick up Andi's teddy bear from it's spot on the floor by the back door.

"You're so retarded! YOU NAMED THE BEAR AFTER A FRONT MAN INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN MAN CANDY?!" Bill yells and Andi blushes. “YOU MADE ME THINK HE WAS TOM!”

"Look, I've had that bear since I was 7, it had no name until that wonderful day when I found MCR 5 years later, so shut your mouth!" Andi says, trying to defend herself , but blushing an even deeper red as Tom starts to fully laugh.

"SHUT UP!! GERARD IS A PERFECTLY WONDERFUL NAME FOR A BLACK AND WHITE TEDDY BEAR!! IT JUST WORKS!!" Andi yells at everyone and Bill starts to laugh as I do now.

"You're all fag bags!!! " Andi cries and grabs the bear from me before stomping inside and into Tom's room.

“PMS?” Tom looks at me and asks.

“DUDE.. I am SO not telling you that info! That is YOURS to deal with man.” I reply laughing.

I notice Bill has my closed laptop on his lap now.

“Umh.. hun.. I don't mind you looking at my playlists and stuff and singing along to stuff.. but I swear.. if you EVER sing Barbie Girl again like that... I.. I .. I just don't know...” I go back inside to get my supplies and Bill follows me.

“You still love me though.. don't you hunny!!” Bill joked. I turned around then with a serious, yet startled look on my face as it suddenly occurred to me that I have never directly told Bill that I loved him. I took a deep breath and I pulled Bill close to me.. startling him a moment but giving him time to get his footing. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I looked right into his eyes.

“Bill... I have something to say to you. I have found a treasure and it bears your name. I know I may not tell show you enough... but I am telling you NOW... I love you.” I said softly. Bill couldn't breathe... I could tell from when I moved my right hand down to his collarbone.. how his chest was lightly heaving. He said nothing but instead caressed my face.
“So the feelings are mutual then... I love you too... from that moment.. that day at the carnival... I think I loved you before that.. but it really hit me that day.” Bill whispered back and I was engulfed in a kiss. Now....neither one of us could breathe.

Andi witnesses the moment as she came back into the room to get something to drink and Tom stood there stunned. Neither could believe the moment they just witnessed. It made them both teary-eyed and sentimental.

“AWHHH.... Come here you two... I can't STAND this!! GROUP HUG!!! “ Andi starts and she pulls Tom to her and then reaches out for Bill and myself. Bill and I are still catching our breaths as Tom got really quiet for a moment and then said.

“I am NOT babysitting!” and then huffed off to his room.

“TALK ABOUT PMS TOM!!” I yell after him.

“Who's got PMS!?” Andi asks not knowing the joke.

“Don't worry about it hun... give Tom a moment to himself... he's a little MOODY today.” I wink at Andi.

“WHY!!??... he was FINE this morning... what happened while you were out?” Andi whined. I didn't wanna tell her the truth... so I made up a lie.

“Umh... somebody was jealous and burned his chicken nuggets....” was all I could think of to blurt out as I grabbed my bags and headed out back. Bill helped me and Andi followed like a lovesick puppy asking questions.

“I so don't think that is IT, Mari... why is Tom upset... about BABIES even!??” Andi begins to freak out.

“HAVE A CHILLAXATIVE!!!... he's umh... you know... on his man rag today.” I said quietly so he couldn't hear me in case he wanted to listen from the living room.

“Guys do NOT get MAN RAGS!!” Bill huffs.

“My point exactly...” I answer, winking back at my lovey.

“What IS wrong with Tom today anyway!?” Bill wondered aloud. “ I see HIM kinda on a man-rag....”

“Umh.. OK TARD.. you just said men DON'T GET man-rags!!” Andi points out.

“Well... with Tom just now ..... I changed my mind... “ Bill smiled.

“If Anyone has a man rag... it would be YOU Diva Star!! I mean DAYUM.. when you and Mari were apart you should have SEEN YOU!!” Andi starts going off waving her hands and trying to defend Tom. Bill gave Andi and evil glare.”And YOU can't change your mind about it Bill.. only girls can change their minds that fast... it's in the rule book!!” Andi adds triumphantly.

“Screw the rule book...” Bill huffs under his breath and checks his nail polish for chips before looking over at me. “Guys make their own rules.. and they don't go along with yours.”

“OK NOWWWW!!! you ALL are on a FREAKIN RAG TODAY!!” I yell out and get up, leaving the back yard. I walk down the hall and grab my cell phone out from the case on my hip as I gently knock on Tom's door.

“Tom?..” I ask quietly. Tom opens the door and has a puppy dog look in his eyes... slightly mimicking the way Bill does it. I push him gently inside and I walk into his room holding up my cell phone in my hand. “I am gonna make some calls....YOU have a date tonight!”

Tom goes to argue but I put up a finger demanding him not too. I pull out a phone book from inside Tom's closet that I had left there for them, and I dialed away. Tom nervously wanting to know what I am saying to the people and what I was planning right before his eyes.

“Oh... and you are NOT gonna wear that outfit are you?” I ask looking up at him while some restaurant puts me on hold.

“What's wrong with this? Andi likes my clothes...” Tom defends himself and looks down at his baggy shirt and pants that you could fit 2 of him in.

“NEIN! A MILLION TIMES NEIN!” I answer back at him. Tom slumps against the wall crossing his arms.

“MY first REAL date with Andi... and You have to make it SUCK!” Tom pouts.

“Hey... wait until you see what ANDI has to wear... it will make it ALL worth it!” I reply and Tom raises an eyebrow at me.

After about 30 minutes... half the date was already planned. I called in a few special favors from some people.

“OK Tom... you won't be alone with Andi in the beginning because I know you may be nervous and all... so Bill and I are going to be there with you for the dinner part. Then, a separate car will take you guys to that certain place I told you about... and from THERE.. you are on your own to make it work.” I explain. Tom takes a deep breath and nods at me.

“So I take it you just ordered something for me to wear then?” Tom asks as he sits down next to me on the bed and thumbs through the yellow pages.

“Don't worry.. you will NOT look like a dork. I know what looks good on you... and you will be pleasantly surprised at what I picked out for you... and I bought Bill something nice too.” I reply as I call for the final arrangements.

Tom takes a deep breath and blows it out... I get up then and walk out into the living room where I bump into Gustav finally.

“Hey Gusti... umh... we are all going out tonight.. do you and Georg have plans?” I ask sweetly.

“Umh... yeah.. actually if you don't mind we do. We were invited out to a baseball game and then some of Jon's friends are gonna hang with us as we go out on ATV's in the desert for the weekend.. .we won't be back until Monday since we all have the weekend off.” He replies as he starts to check a list for what he needs to bring with him.

“That is WONDERFUL.. I wish I could go with you... but I think I am helping out with a few issues around here.” I wink at Gustav.

I walked back outside to deal with my artistic project only to find out Bill and Andi were STILL betching over whether or not guys or girls are the worst being on their rags. I decided that I would make a final decision once I told them my news.

“QUIT BETCHING!.... Andi.. you have a date tonight. Bill hunny... we are going out with them.. and I got you something nice.... I think you will like it.” I tell them as I sit down and clean up what I was working on earlier that morning.

“What! Who planned this!? I can't go on a DATE tonight I have like NOTHING pretty to wear!” Andi starts to scream at me...” Is this like a formal thing for you? Where are we going.. Ohh EMM GEE.. I am gonna KILL YOU MARI!!!”

“Don't kill ME.. kill the Kaulitz on his man rag... oh... YES.. it's a kinda formal dinner thing.....” I reply as I wash of my brushes and put them away. Bill starts to giggle hysterically.

“I don't think I have EVER seen Tom wear something FORMAL like that... I mean it is SO not him... you would have to be a MIRACLE WORKER. .... what is he being made to wear!!?? I gotta see it!!” Bill tries to puff out between laughs and giggles.

“Don't worry... all the clothes will be arriving here about 2pm. Now... can everyone just chill please... oh.. Go talk to your brother Bill.. I think there is something he needs to ask you about.. and tell you.” I reply and shoosh giggle boy outta my face for a moment.


Bill walks down the hall to Tom's room... and Tom is pacing in the little space he has in front of the bed.

“Mari told me you need to talk to me. Is everything OK?”Bill asked puzzled as to what was making Tom pace the floor. Bill saw the open yellow pages on the bed as he sat down.

“Yeah.... I'm gonna be fine. I just see how hard you wanted things to work out for you and Mari... and umh... I wanted to take Andi out tonight. Mari did a little bit already.. but I thought... well.. I thought maybe you could be my wing man for this.” Tom mumbled a little.

“We're twins bro... I will ALWAYS be your wing man.” Bill replies and give Tom a slap on the shoulder as he sits on the bed. Tom and Bill give each other smiles and then Tom grabs the notebook pages that he copied out from under his table. He handed them to Bill. Bill looked confused for a moment and then got wide eyed.

“I have to confess. I copied these when you were not looking. I only wanted to help... so.. can we cross more date wishes of your list tonight? I thought some of them were so nice maybe I thought I could do something nice like that for Andi tonight... and then you could have another nice night for Mari. All I know is Mari has dinner set up for us... after that... I am to take Andi somewhere... I am not sure if you and her are coming home... but I think you should take her to somewhere on your list.” Tom explains in detail.

“Hmm.. ok.. sounds like a deal.. tell me where you are going with Andi and I will pick something to do for Mari then that doesn't overlap that.” Bill replies and the twins sit for the afternoon plotting out the rest of the weekend.

About 3 hours later.....

“MARI THE STUFF HAS ARRIVED!!” Tom shouts from his room as someone comes up to the front door with a small wheeled cart of wardrobe bags. I meet the girl at the front door so she could not see who they were for and I gave her a nice tip and shooed her off. I unzipped the first bag and handed it to Tom. Bill came walking over to see what is all was and I handed a red bag to him and told him to get dressed. Bill raised a brow as he unzipped the bag a little to peek inside... he was quite impressed with my selections.

“Oh... TOM... wear a cap and I will PERSONALLY MURDER YOU!!” I give Tom my evil glare.

“Ohh man... you ARE gonna make this suck!” Tom whines. Bill looks into the bag quickly.

“WHOAH! There is NO WAY he's gonna wear THAT!” Bill's eyes got wide... “But if you do.. JA.. NO CAP! Would so ruin the look man.”

“If there is anyone doing any murdering around here.. it will be ME murdering YOU TWO!” Tom betches as he hangs his clothes up on the back of the door.

“Quit whining or you date will be spent with you having DUCT TAPE on your mouth... you asked me for help.. now DEAL WITH IT!” I spit out and walk to the stairs. I catch Andi when I get there and drag her with me. “You guys have 2 hours, be ready to leave at 5pm sharp!” I yell down as I toss Andi through my bedroom doors lightly and slam them shut.

Bill and Tom stand together downstairs looking at each other a moment. They had the thoughts going through their minds... if females went through so much for dates... they had NO idea what the twins were going through right now.

“Mari I am SO totally gonna DIE!! What the HAITIES did you order me!!” Andi whines as she looks at the boxes and bags around the room. She opens the garment bad and squeals causing me to cover my ears. “I have NEVER owned anything THIS pretty in my LIFE! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS!!!!!”

“I ordered it for you so you would have something for your first date. I know this is special for you. Just don't get all crazy on me about it... Tom is like really... umh... well... he seems like he's really nervous to make this all right for you.” I explained to Andi as I put my hair up and started on my makeup.

“Bill was freaking about that date.... you know he didn't cook the food on his own right?” Andi replied as she sat on the counter watching me.

“Andi.. I love Bill with all my heart... but the guy would burn water if I let him cook alone. I will have to teach him a few things... and I bet he was mortified when I saw him in that hair tie!!” I smiled remembering how adorkable Bill looked that afternoon. Andi and I broke into giggles again. “I bet you did that to him.. didn't you?”

“It was my pleasure to thoroughly embarrass him.” Andi replied with a huge grin.

“Well.. I am embarrassing Tom tonight too. I don't think I have EVER seen him in a dress suit before... and he is NOT allowed to wear a cap either.” I reply putting some lip gloss on.

“OHH EM GEE!! You got TOM .. MR BAGGY PANTS NEVER TAKE MY CAP OFF KAULITZ ....A SUIT!!!” Andi waves her hands for emphasis.

“YUP” was all I said back as I blotted my lipstick.

Andi stared at me. O.O

“Ohh MARY MOTHER OF GOD THIS NIGHT IS GOING DOWN IN HISTORY!!” Andi covers her mouth with her hand. “He is SO gonna kill YOU, Mari!”

“Probably.” I said matter of factly as I started getting dressed.”Are you changing or not?” I turn around and ask Andi.

“You have to do my hair and makeup tho... I am way to shaky to do it myself.” Andi give me puppy eyes.

“What is it with all of you and that PUSS N BOOTS LOOK!!” I say over my shoulder and turn back around to fix Andi up.

5PM arrives...

I begin to go downstairs and Bill is in the living room waiting for us. He is nicely dressed in the outfit I got him.. which was PERFECT. IN fact... he also kept his hair mostly down for it with not too much hairspray. I came into the room and he stood up, dropping a blue binder onto the piano bench next to him. His eyes widen, and I looked at back him with a raised brow about his outfit as well. DAYUM I am good... I picked out something perfect for him.

“Danke hunny.... I really like this.” Bill spoke first. I smiled sweetly and kissed him.

“Andi will be right down. Where is Tom?” I look around.

“He's hiding... he's a little uncomfy... and I did his hair.” Bill smiled and we both giggled.

“TOMIE!! you can come OUT NOW!!” I yell to his door playfully.

“NEIN!!” was all Bill and I heard from behind the doors.

Bill put his fingers up to his lips and then pointed for me to head for the joining bathroom door and he would get the bedroom door. We got ready and then barged in on Tom. Bill dragged him out the door and then he looked up at the stairs to see Andi coming down.

Tom looked A-MAZ-ING. Bill and I BOTH we very impressed that he was being a good sport about it all. The suit was comfy and not TOO baggy on him... and his hair was an OMG moment. He did like we asked and had NO cap on whatsoever. Instead, Bill had pulled his dreads back into a black leather band that perfectly held them and let the dreads fall over Tom's shoulders. Tom straightened himself and then looked back up the stairs to see Andi coming down. He immediately got a deer in headlights look. Bill looked over at me and gave me a thumbs up because he could tell we would have to scoop Tom's jaw up off the floor. Bill then took my hand and we all headed out the door.
