Of course the girls said yes. They loved the idea, and Angela practically passed out when she heard that we were going to be opening up for Busted. They were her favorite band.

It was two days before the tour was about to start, and we had another meeting at Universal Records. Tyler said that we'd be meeting the other bands that we were touring with, and get an itinerary and stuff.

We were standing in the lift, waiting for floor 8, and we were laughing about how much make up Angela had put on to try and impress the boys.

'I bet you would have impressed them more, if you dressed normally, not like one of those desperate teenagers that they probably see at all of their shows.'

She frowned, unimpressed.

'Maybe you're right.'

'I am,' I replied as the lift came to a halt. I smoothed the front of my form fitting white tank top as we walked up to Mr. Durden's office. I took a breath and knocked on the door. The door opened, and we stepped into the crowded office.

'Everyone, I'd like you to meet Above Parker. That's Heather, Angela, Lori and Diane. Ladies, these are the guys from Busted, Matt, James and Charlie,' said Tyler, standing up from the desk.

'I didn't know that they were a chick band,' said the black haired one, who I assumed to be Matt.

'I didn't know that yours was one either,' I retorted quickly. The girls laughed, and Matt threw me a nasty look.

'Hey, let's try to get along for each other's sake. We're going to be practically living together for the next 3 months,' said James, handing me a schedule.

'Sorry,' I said, 'I just hate when people assume that we're not good because we're girls.'

'Yeah, well, I didn't assume anything,' I heard Matt mumbunder his le breath.

I sighed. I really hoped that Matt wasn't going to be difficult the whole tour. I knew that it would be hard having to work with someone that you didn't get along with.

After the meeting, as we were all leaving the office, I pulled Matt to the side.

'Listen, I really don't want there to be any conflict during this tour. No hard feelings?'

'Yeah, sure. Whatever. I'll see you in a few days, I got to go now anyway.'

'See you later,' I said, watching Matt walk down the hall and hug an older woman.

Two days later, we were amazed at the tour bus that the company got us. It wasn't huge, but it was big enough to comfortably room us all for the next three months. In just 3 days, we would be playing in front of over a thousand people. Of course, they didn't know who we were, but we were all determined to kick butt, and leave a long lasting impression with the crowd. Our first destination was Peterborough, and we anxiously awaited the arrival.

When we arrived at the venue a few days later, we were amazed to see where we were playing.

'Tyler never told us that this was an arena tour,' exclaimed Lori, putting down her guitar and coming outside of the bus.

'Maybe he thought we knew,' replied Angela, putting her hair up with one of her drumsticks.

'We should go get tattooed, to mark this occasion,' said Diane. She was always coming up with crazy ideas.

'You know what? That's actually not to bad of an idea. I'm in,' I replied with a smile. The other girls agreed, and we went to get a cab to take us to the nearest tattoo parlour. The Busted bus pulled up before we left the parking lot, and one of the windows opened.

'Where are you lot going?' asked James.

'To get tattoos. Want to come?' I replied.

'Sure. Just wait a few.'

We waited a few minutes until James, Charlie, and Matt joined us.

'So, you're all going to get one too?' Lori asked, kicking some of the dirt on the ground with her foot.

'I'm not, I just decided to tag along because the tour bus would get quite lonely if I'm all by myself,' replied Charlie.

At the tattoo parlour, the girls and I decided to get butterflies, different ones, on different parts of our bodies. Matt decided he would put a star on his hand.

I was the first one to get inked, and I found getting the pink and purple butterfly imprinted into my lower back quite painful. One by one the girls went in and got their tattoos, and when Matt went in to get his star, he looked quite nervous.

'It won't hurt that bad, the one you're getting isn't even very big,' I said leaning against the door frame while he was sitting in the chair, having his hand cleaned. He swallowed hard. 'Do you need me to hold your hand?' I grabbed his free hand and held it loosely. I was just about to let go when he squeezed it tight. I looked at him, and saw him staring back at me. He looked down as the needle began threading through his skin.

'See, that wasn't that bad,' I said, after it was finished. He laughed.

'You were screaming so loudly when you got yours done.' I blushed.

'So who was that lady I saw you hugging the other day?'

'That was Holly. She works for Universal.'

'Is she your girlfriend?'

'Yes.'

'She looked pretty old.'

'Well, I like my women mature,' he said with a smile.

'As opposed to mature women your age?'

'She's not that old. She's only older than me by 9 years.'

'No that's not that big of an age difference,' I said rolling my eyes. He playfully pushed me, and we had a laugh while we were waiting for a cab to come and bring us back to the buses.
