Didn't we meet before?, chapter 1
*August, 9 1994 Berkely, California
"This way." a security guard said. Mindy looked at him and nodded. Her piercing green eyes focused on an entrance. Backstage baby. She was one of two to acually go backstage to a Green Day concert. About damn time! She had her black hair pulled up.She had a Ramones shirt on that said, Hey Ho Let's Go! on the back. She had a black skirt with jeans on too. She was about 5'1 and she had just turned 18 years old. Her and the other girl walked through the entrance way. There they where, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool, and Mike Dirnt. They looked around and saw her and the other girl.
The security gaurd left and said, "Here they are." Billie Joe nodded and said, "Hello, what are your names?" He asked. Mindy spoke up first and said, "I'm Mindy." That's all she could say at the moment. She was too star struck. Tré got up and walked over to Mindy. He looked at her shirt and said, "You have an interesting shirt on by the way."
Mindy laughed and said, "Thanks, The Ramones are my second fave band."
Tré looked at her and asked, "Who's your first?" She laughed and said,
"Green Day of course," She had a smile on her face.
Billie Joe looked over and said, "Tré made himself a new friend...if you know what I mean." He was being perverted. Mindy looked over and laughed. Tré laughed as well. Mike got up and walked over to them.
"So, Mindy, what's your last name?" He asked her. "It's Ramone believe it or not." Tré's eyes widened and he asked, "Are you related to anyone from the Ramones?"
She shrugged and said, "I don't know. Really haven't checked out my extensive family tree..."
Tré laughed and then asked, "How old are you?" She looked at him and said, "18." He nodded. He got out a peice of paper and wrote down a number on it.
"Here, it's my cell phone number. Keep in touch. Bruno is on his way," He said pointing to the security guard, who was comming to escort Mindy and the other girl away.
Mindy nodded and said, "Will do!" Then they all got together and had a group picture taken before she was escorted away.

"I hate this fricking job!" yelled a woman behind the desk at Reprise. She had a pair of glasses on with her black hair tied back. She was messing with a computer, that had froze for the 8th time this monring.
"Oh, this damn thing. I'm going to throw it out the fucking window! I swear!" She said. This was Mindy, aged about 12 years. She had gotten a job at Reprise Records. She worked behind the desk in the main entrance area on the first floor. Today wasn't a good day for her.
The other woman looked over and asked, "Mindy, what's going on? Computer trouble again?" She said getting up.
Mindy nodded and said, "Yeah, the damn thing froze up again. I need help Tracey." Tracey was the other woman that worked at Reprise with Mindy. She was tall and had bleach blonde hair. It was kind of scary in Mindy's opinion. Tracey walked over and un-froze Mindy's computer.
"How in the hell did you do that?" Mindy asked.
"Press the esacpe button, duh," Tracey said.
Mindy rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, whatever."
An hour later after the computer incident, the front door opened. Mindy was typing an email to her brother when she heard a familiar voice ask, "Where is recording room 9?" Mindy looked up and was about to tell him, but she stopped mid-sentance.
She couldn't believe it! It was Tré! He looked at her strangely and said, "Didn't we meet before?"
Mindy nodded and said, "Yeah! It was August of '94 at a concert you guys did. I was one of the lucky ones to go backstage!" Mindy said with a smile.
Tré nodded and said, "Yeah, I remember that, but something has changed about you." Mindy laughed and took off her glasses.
"Yeah! I remember you! I gave you my cell phone number!" He exclaimed loudly, just enough for the whole floor to hear.
Mindy nodded and said, "Yeah, I tried calling it but it was disconnected." He laughed and said,
"Yeah, I had that done for a reason." He laughed after saying this. Mindy looked at him and asked, "What reason?" She was curious.
Tré nodded and said, "How about you leave work early and I can tell you over a cup of coffee, deal?"
Mindy smiled and said, "You have yourself a deal." She then stood up and turned off her computer. "Tracey, you can hadle things for today, okay? Bye!" She said grabbing her purse and walking out the door with Tré.
