Tre's Drum Lessons, chapter 16
RECAP
Its 7.30 and Erin had been getting ready. The door bell rings.
"Hello?!" we hear Mike say.
"Coming, just a minute!" yelled Erin. She ran to the door and opened it. She was wearing a black dress with a rose embroidered into the middle. Mikes jaw dropped.
"Wow, you look beautiful!" he said. He was wearing a black pin stripe suit with a blue tie.
"Thanks... you look great as well." Replied Erin.
"Thanks... lets go... get ready for the best night of your life." He said.
"Any night with you is the best." Laughed Erin, and they left, arm in arm.

***Erin's POV***
"Mike, what you got planned?" I asked.
"You'll have to see... for now, let's go and eat, I'm starving!" he exclaimed.
"Sounds good" said Erin and they hopped into Mike's car.
We arrive at the beach. Mike takes my hand and we walk to the sand, until we reach a beach house.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"My beach house... didn't I tell you that I have one?" he asked, looking at me curiously.
"No, you failed to mention that" I laughed.
He takes my hand and leads me inside, where there is a table set for two, and a rose in a vase placed in the center of the table. There were candles lit around the room.
"Aww this is so romantic" I smiled at Mike.
He gave me a peck and pulled out a seat for me. "Sit down, my love." He said.
I sat down and Mike poured some wine into a wine glass and handed it to me.
"Thank you" I said as he poured himself a glass. "So, how was Estelle?"
"Oh she's great... I miss her when we have to tour." He answered.
"Aww... that's cute. I'm really looking forward to the tour, though. How do we get there? Do you like have a tour bus?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah, it's huge!" exclaims Mike excitedly. We laugh and then a sound of a bell ringing disturbs our conversation.
"It's the oven, food's ready!" declares Mike, as he gets out of his seat and enters the kitchen. He comes back out with two plates filled with food. Its roast chicken.
"I didn't know that you could cook!" I exclaimed.
"I love cooking!" proclaimed Mike.
"So do I!" proclaimed Erin in a laughing manner.
"Well that's just another thing that we have in common then, isn't it?" grinned Mike. We continued to chat while we were eating and then Mike took the plates and put them into the kitchen.
"So what do you want to do now?" I asked, grinning.
"Want to go for a walk? Along the beach?" he suggested.
"Yeah, sure." I replied and he took my hand and led me outside. We walked along the shore hand in hand, collecting any interesting looking shells on the way. Mike got a message on his phone and he looked at me.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"Oh nothing, I just got to make a quick phone call." He said.
"Alright." I replied, confused.
He walked about a meter away from me and was talking on the phone. I couldn't make out what he was saying.
"Hey, Tre. Yeah in about 5 minutes, okay? Thanks a heap... shut up you dirty minded little boy...see ya!" he hung up the phone.
"Hey, I'm back." Said Mike.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Yeah it's all good." He replied.
We started walking back to the house. When we arrived, Mike got some beach towels and laid them out on the shore.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Just come and sit down... " said Mike, patting the towel.
I went and sat down with him, and he put his arm around me. He lay down and I followed. He started kissing me, and about 30 seconds later, I heard a loud bang. I looked up, and there were fire works.
"Oh how beautiful!" I exclaimed. Mike looked at me and smiled. Then, the next fire work that appeared was one of those message ones. It read 'I love you, Erin.'
I looked at Mike with a huge smile and hugged him tight.
"Thank you, I love you too!" I exclaimed.
We kissed for a while after that, and then I asked Mike "Is that why you made the phone call before?"
"Yeah, Tre helped me organize it. I called him to tell him when to set off the fireworks." He replied. Then he stood up and took my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Come with me." Said Mike with a grin on this face.
We went inside the beach house and Mike closed the door behind him... (You can guess what happened ^_^ ... mmmhmmm) ... ... ... ..
The next day, I woke up with my head on Mike's chest. He was awake.
"Good morning" I said, looking up at Mike.
"Good morning" he replied.
"Last night was amazing" I said.
"Yeah it was... I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I replied "How about we go back to the hotel, everyone will be wondering where we are."
"Yeah good idea lets go." Replied Mike.
We arrived at the hotel, and were greeted by Tre's cheeky grin.
"Where were YOU two last night?" he asked cheekily.
"Well you DID tell us to get a room the other day, didn't you?" replied Mike cheekily.
"Ohhh... " Tre giggled.
"How was it?" Danni asked me.
"What?" I replied nervously.
"Your date! What else?" she says.
"Ohhh... it was awesome." I replied
"What did you think I meant?" she asked.
"Oh nothing" I replied, grinning. We laughed.
***Back to Danni's POV***
"Hey girls, looking forward to the tour tomorrow?" asked Tre.
"Can't wait!" we exclaimed together.
"Hey Danni, it's your birthday in 5 days isn't it?" asks Erin.
"Yeah it is... " I reply.
"Hey! I didn't know that!" exclaimed Tre
"Sorry, I forgot about it... I've been so busy with you guys I guess I forgot... but can you believe that we have known each other for a year now?! It's gone so fast!" I exclaim.
"Oh my God, are you serious? That did go quick!" he exclaimed "It's been the best year of my life... "
"Yeah, for me to." I smiled.
As always, we watch The Simpsons while we eat dinner, then we go to bed. The hotel room has three bedrooms, two with double beds and one with two singles. Tre and I share a room, Mike and Erin share a room, and Nat and Ash sleep in a single bed each. Billie is still at his house, we will meet him here tomorrow morning.
*~~~Next Day~~~*
We're all up early getting ready for the trip to Kansas. I can't wait to start the tour. I'm nervous about playing in front of thousands of people, but it might be the break through we have been waiting for. We have all had a shower and have packed up the room. There's a knock at the door. I answer it. It's Billie Joe.
"Hey!" I said, very excitedly.
"You all ready to go?" Billie asks.
"Yeah... Let's go!" exclaims Ash, and we leave the hotel, and get into the tour bus awaiting us at the hotel doors.
And let the tour begin...
