With or Without You - Pt 3

     Willow groaned as the alarm rang to wake her up. She turned it off and sat up. "Quarter to seven..why am I doing this?"
     She stood up and stretched. She looked through her clothes and set something aside before she went into the shower.

     Daniel was jolted awake. He looked over his shoulder and sighed. He picked up a pillow and threw it at Darren, "Fuck off, I want to sleep.."
     Darren threw it back, "And I don't? Just get up and get ready. You have a half hour to be decent." And he closed the door behind him as he left.
     Daniel sat up yawning. He leaned over and flicked the radio on. "Oh, can you see it baby? Don't have to close your eyes, just standing.." Daniel sighed and turned it off. "That's the last bloody song I want to hear right now."
     He got up and stumbled into the bathroom.

     Daniel was the last to join the group in the restaurant. Darren raised an eyebrow, "15 minutes late!"
     Daniel rolled his eyes, "Oh shut up would you.."
     Darren laughed as Daniel sat down yawning.

     Willow stood at the reception desk talking to the lady.
     "I'm not sure ma'am."
     "Well can I speak to someone who would be able to help me?" Willow asked the receptionist politely.
     The woman nodded, "Yes, one moment." She buzzed someone down.
     A man came over and ushered her into a room.
     Willow looked around than sat.
     "What was it you wanted?"
     Willow smiled, "I'm actually hoping to be able to catch this show.."
     He looked at her, "Why?"
     "Well I quite like your musical guests on, and I wasn't able to get a hold of tickets on account that I'm in Canada."
     He picked up his phone and spoke briefly to someone. "Well I'm sorry but there's no sitting room in the studio today."
     Willow sighed, "Right now, I don't really care. I was just hoping to be able to meet the guys."
     The guy smiled, "You're not some psycho fan are you?"
     Willow laughed, "No, just dedicated. I'm a very big fan. You could ask me anything..well almost..to a certain extent.. But hey, at least I'm not some young teeny bopper fan, I'm quite safe. If you really don't trust me, you can have a guard at my heels. I could care less."
     He nodded, "Hmm, you don't seem to be posing a threat or anything. I could let you hang out backstage and you could just catch them after their performance.."
     Willow smiled, "Ooh, would you?"
     "Yeah, though you have to promise to stay back there and not to cause ANY problems."
     Willow nodded, "Of course."
     He ushered her backstage to a room where everyone passed through. He pointed to a tv monitor and told her she could watch the show from there. He also told her she could help herself to the refreshments and munchies.

     Darren looked over at Daniel, "Your taping this right?"
     Daniel nodded, "I tape all the shows we're on. Why?"
     "Well I don't have any time to watch Janeane. So I'm hoping I can just pop in the tape later," Darren said adjusting his microphone.
     "Well you can watch the tape after I finish with it.."
     Darren started warming up his voice.
     Daniel sank into a chair and put earphones in and blasted Sarah McLachlan into his ears. He had recently started listening to her, he had heard her all too much from Darren and at first she annoyed him, now he had grown quite fond of her. He supposed that meeting her helped. He skipped a few songs ahead and listened to 'Witness' a song he had fallen in love with.

     Willow had pulled out her book and continued reading, Regis and KathyLee had got her bored fast. She occasionally checked to see if the guys were on yet.
     She almost spilled her coffee when she heard Regis and KathyLee start talking about Savage Garden. She quickly put her coffee and book down and went closer to the screen.

     As the camera focused on the band, she smiled then soon stopped to check out the rest of the new band members.
     She took notice to the two new back up singers, Anna Maria and Nichole. She wasn't sure who was who.
     She noticed they still had Lee with them. And took notice to their new drummer, Karl, and then she noticed Ben, their newest guitarist.
     She was disappointed to see that they had Daniel shadowed off on the piano.
     They finished the song and she quietly clapped.
     "Ooh, an interview, I didn't know they would be doing one.."
     She was all of a sudden 'yelling' at Regis, "You idiot! Weren't you even listening to Daniel!? Arrgh.." She sighed, he had asked how they met and Daniel had told him '..Via an advert I had placed..' And then Regis points to Darren and goes, 'You placed the add?'
     She sighed shaking her head, "Gawd, no one listens to him."
     She continued to watch the interview smiling at certain parts. She almost died when KathyLee had asked Daniel about his favourite country, and if it was America. "Put down for America, go us, go us.."
     He said America was up there but Canada is a favourite and that he also liked the Scandinavian area.
     The interview went on for a bit longer then they said their byes.
     Willow sat back smiling when Janeane Garofalo walked into the room. Willow hadn't realized she was on the show.
     She got up and said hello to her.
     Janeane smiled politely, "Hello.."
     "Wow, I hadn't realized you were on todays show. I'm a big fan of yours. I love what you have to say about everyone else. It's nice to know us females have a non-blond-anorexic-bimbo role model."
     Janeane laughed, "Thanks. So why are you here then? You work here or something?"
     Willow almost blushed, "Umm, well..I came to, uhh, see.."
     "Oh, don't tell me.." Janeane said rolling her eyes.
     Willow laughed, "Yeah, I'm here because of Savage Garden. You don't like them?"
     "Don't like them just begins to explain it. You don't look like one of their fans. You look like you should be at a Sarah McLachlan or Fiona Apple concert or something. Please tell me you're not hung up on the egotistical vampire wannabe guy who DESPERATELY needs to consult a mirror.."
     Willow tried not to laugh but couldn't help it, "No, I'm not one of Darren's, the vampire guy's, biggest fans. I prefer Daniel.."
     "Who?!"
     "The other guy in the band, the blond one.."
     "Guitar or piano?"
     "The guy on the guitar isn't part of the band, he's just like backup, Daniel was the guy on the piano. He originally took care of all the instrumental stuff."
     "Oh, the guy who was ripping off my personal add joke?" Janeane added with a smirk.
     "I guess so. Do you know that 'VampireBoy' likes you?"
     Janeane's smile dropped, "What?!"
     "Yeah, check out YM. He says even though you don't fit Hollywoods mold, he still finds you sexy."
     "Oh, I don't know wether I should be insulted or flattered.."
     Willow laughed, "You mean he hasn't approached you yet?"
     "No, 'sadly' enough, not yet. Well I should be going. If you run into our Vamp friend, send him my 'love'. Nice talking to you." Janeane waved as left the room.
     Willow sat down and laughed.

     Darren looked around, "Have you seen her?"
     "No.." Daniel sighed and he said no for the tenth time.
     Darren grabbed his hand, "Wells come on, your going to help me.."
     Daniel sighed as he let Darren drag him away.
