Ready, Set, Go!
Chapter 1
Germany was quiet and calm tonight. Not a sound only the whisper of the winds and the rustling of the trees. Wait-it's not quiet. Tonight was the night of the concert of Tokio Hotel. And tonight millions will come and possibly tried and squeezed through one another to hear and watch Tokio Hotel sing. And it will be the loudest concert ever.
From far away, amongst the several people that were rushing to enter the concert, two girls stood out from the sea of black and white.
One was jumping up and down, from excitement, whilst the other was grumbling, thinking why on earth did she come?
The one who was jumping excitedly, had bright red hair that looked like it was on fire far away and eyes that were plain black. She wore the simplest outfit, tight purple shirt with the words 'Tokio Hotel' enscripted in fancy letter on it. And a skirt with fish net stockings and high boots. She wore gloves that reached up to her elbows, the color of her hair.
The other, who seemed doesn't look too happy, is more wilder and tackier than the red head.
She had long black hair that she dyed purple and pink with streaks, a tongue ring, shown when talking or eating, a right eyebrow piercing, a tattoo on the bottom right side of her stomach. She had blue eyes but got surgery since her eyesight was getting blurry and now she has a weird eye color, mixed between dark blue and gray.
It was a weird color, but she liked it and so did her friend, Sam, who is next to her.
"Alex, what'll you think happens when we meet them backstage?" Sam asks her friend, walking with the others.
Alex didn't really know. The radio announced the first two calls will receive front row seats, and backstage passes and Sam, being the obsessive Tokio Hotel lover she is, telephoned quickly and won instantly. She, of course, screamed and jumped up and down and said that her friend and her will be at the concert and so on.
So here they are, walking to the concert, since Sam's car broke down, and will be seeing Tokio Hotel, and backstage also.
Alex huffed, and adjust her skirt which Sam forced her into to wear. What's the big deal? Tokio Hotel is the number one band in Germany, She likes them, but not that much unlike Sam.
Of course she always has a small crush on Bill Kaulitz, who doesn't? Sam has a crush on Tom for a while and now she's going to the concert.
When they reached the ticket collector, Alex and Sam held up their backstage pass and the guard nodded, letting them in.
Sam squealed and jumped up excitedly, "I can't believe we're going!!" Yep, this is her first time going to a concert, mostly she watched it on TV, but she never get the same feeling and atmosphere like those people who were in the concert.
Alex shook her head, smiling in amusement at her friend. She's such a little 5 year old.
When they reached inside the concert, noises from the audience buzzed in Alex and Sam's ears. It was loud and big too. Sam looked over at the building in awe and Alex took her hand and led her to the front row.
When they reached there, they were greeted by their archenemy: Tutti and Frutti, well the Barbara's sister. Oh, so they were the second ones who had won the tickets and backstage pass.
Tutti, the oldest, sneered when Alex and Sam appeared. "Look, Frutti, it's the rejects." Frutti smirked and they both laughed a high pitched laugh that made Alex, Sam, and some others who had heard near by, winced.
The high pitched sound sounded like a whistle being blowned. "Aww is that what you think of yourselves?" Alex shot back which made them stopped and glared at her.
Sam smirked and crossed her arms, "Ignore them Alex, they're just cockroaches." Alex does a fake smile at Tutti and Frutti and turned away before they could do anything and stared at the stage which had the equipments and instruments.
Alex wondered how long are they gonna wait here for them to come out...
Her thoughts were answered and out stepped out four guys, and automatically the whole audience screamed in delight and Sam and Alex looked at each other and shrugged and copied the rest, screaming their lungs out.
Bill was the first one to come out then Tom, then George, and last Gustav.
Bill smiled at the audience and did a kiss with his hand toward the audience and the volume from the audience got louder. Alex looked behind her and saw banners waving, screaming fans, and guards to watch if anyone dared to run toward the stage.
Alex watched as the band get set and the audience quieted and Sam and Alex listened as Tom's guitar started playing.
Then George came in and then Gustav. Alex waited for Bill to sing and when he did, the audience screamed again but lower this time.
"Ich halt den Brief,
in meiner kalten Hand.
Der letzte Satz war lang,
solang er noch brennt,
schau ich ihn an.
Mit jeden Zeile,
stirbt ein Gefhl.
Was bleibt ist Finsternis,
ein Schauer von Dir,
hilft nicht mehr viel.
Es bringt mich um,
Wir ham uns totgeliebt,
Es bringt mich um,
weil unser Traum,
in Trmmern liegt.
Die Welt soll schweigen,
und fr immer einsam sein.
Wir sind verloren,
auch wenn die Mchte,
sich vereinen.
Es ist vorbei.
Die Geier kreisen,
ber unserm Revier.
Was nehmen wir noch mit,
is alles nicht wert.
Wenn wir uns verlier'n,
Sie kommen nher,
sind hinter uns her.
Wollen Dich und mich.
Lass mich jetzt los,
Ich kann nicht mehr.
Es bringt mich um,
Wir ham uns totgeliebt,
Es bringt mich um,
weil unser Traum,
in Trmmern liegt.
Die Welt soll schweigen,
und fr immer einsam sein.
Wir sind verloren,
auch wenn die Mchte,
sich vereinen.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei.
Die geier kreisen,
ber unserm Revier.
Tten das letzte von Dir,
und das letzte in mir.
Es bringt mich um
Wir ham uns totgeliebt,
Es bringt mich um,
weil unser Traum,
in Trmmern liegt.
Die Welt soll schweigen,
und fr immer einsam sein.
Wir sind verloren,
auch wenn die Mchte,
sich vereinen.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei.
Es ist vorbei
When the song ended, the audience rose and screams were erupted again. Sam felt dizzy from the loud screams but she smiled anyway.
The band left backstage and Tutti and Frutti looked at Alex and Sam and smirked.
Alex knew that look, they were gonna meet Tokio Hotel first.
"Sam when I say Run, Run." Alex whispered huskily to her.
Sam stared at her in confusion but nodded in confusion. What on earth was she talking about?
Alex grabbed Sam's hand and ran, without any warning. "Hey I thought you said run?" Sam protested, trying to keep up with Alex but the boots were weighing her down.
"Tutti and Frutti are not gonna meet them first!" Alex barked and Sam gripped her hand tighter and ran.
Tutti and Frutti were fast, for girls who are in 6 inch heels.
They were getting close, Alex growled. She looked around and took an ice cube from a guy's cup, ignoring his comments and threw it at Tutti's head.
Tutti grunted and looked back, searching for who ever did it.
Alex smirked and ran ahead of them.
When Tutti gave up searching, she gave a gasp, Alex and Sam were already there.
"Don't worry we'll get them." Frutti said.
Alex and Sam flashed their pass at the guard and they went in, and there they were.
Bill. Tom. George. Gustav. Tokio Hotel.
Sam tried to swallow her excited squeal but unfortunately, it came out.
Bill was the first one to heard it and looked up at the two girls.
Alex faced flushed and she hushed Sam down but Sam kept squealing.
Alex looked back at Bill and he caught her eye and she blushed, turning a tinge pink.
She looked away quickly, hiding her blush. Finally Sam calmed down. Alex, with little bits of courage left from that awful embarrassment, marched over to them with Sam trailing behind, all shy-like.
The guys stopped talking and stared at Alex, as if she was a piece of meat. She gulped, and opened her mouth, "Hi, I'm Alex and this is Sam, we're the ones who had one the front row tickets and backstage passes."
Bill nodded, "So you were the one who was screaming all hyper like?"
Alex wanted to laugh but all came out was soft one, "No it was Sam, this is her first time going to a concert."
Tom chuckled and Sam looked at him, and found that he was staring straight at her and she blushed, casting her eyes down.
"Well then how about I show you around?" Bill suggested. "And I'll talk to Sam." Tom added.
"That's a great idea." Sam piped up.
"What about George and Gustav?" Alex asks. "Nah, we'll be fine, besides we need a break." George replied.
"Ready?" Bill asks. "Set Go?" Alex joked and the guys chuckled at her.
"I like you, Alex, you're amusing." Bill smiled at her and she blushed.
He walked past her and out to the stage and she followed leaving a scared but happy looking Sam behind.
Tom got up. "So ready to explore the place?" He asks coolly.
Sam nodded, eagerly, and when Tom took her hand, she melted.
Hah! She thought, Tutti and Frutti'll have to wait for their turn!
"This is where I sing, and my band plays." Bill showed her. It was a big stage, Alex thought. Who knew it could be this big? From the TV it looked small but from where she was standing, it's mighty big.
She walked around the stage, Bill watching her, and looked around at the empty audience.
Suddenly, a faint music came in her ear, and Bill's voice was in her head, he was singing the song that he just sang a few minutes ago.
And then the screaming fans, and clapping rang through her ears.
"What do you think?" Bill interrupted her thoughts.
"Well, it is big, aren't you nervous, performing in front of millions of people?" Alex asks and walked more steps. Down at the bottom there were people cleaning and wrapping things up.
"Well, yea, but it's for my fans, you know." Bill was close to her now.
She turned around and fell, because he was right behind her.
Bill caught her hand before she could fell backwards.
He hauled her up and she retreated her hand, politely and smoothed her skirt, and cleared her throat.
When the 'incident' was over, Bill and Alex talked about everything. From their childhoods to now.
He is amazing, she thought when she walked to where Tom and Sam were.
They were laughing and joking. Sam was slapping her thighs from a joke that Tom made, and Tom watched her, smiling.
"Sam?" Alex asks, hating to interrupt the chemistry between Tom and Sam.
Sam turned her head, "What?"
"It's Tutti and Frutti's turn." Alex said, jabbing her thumb from behind her, and two impatient girls were leaning against the wall.
Sam face fell, "Oh," She looked back at Tom, "Well nice meeting you, Tom."
Tom winked, "Likewise." Sam giggled and walked over to Alex.
Oh crap, Alex forgot to say goodbye to Bill.
Alex ran back to where he was and he was taking a drink from his cup.
He saw Alex and put his cup down, "Alex?" Alex smiled, "Hi again, um well, nice meeting you, Bill." She said.
Bill nodded, smiling, "It was my pleasure."
"Well bye." Alex said. She felt so lame using that excuse.
Bill chuckled, "This won't be the last time you'll see me." He said and she blushed. "Right, well bye."
"Oh wait I forgot to give you something." Bill called. She blinked. Forgot to give her what? Bill ripped a scrap of a piece of a paper and wrote something down.
He finished and hand it to her and she folded it not wanting to look at it after she gets home. "Well bye." Alex said.
Alex left with Sam and Bill stared at Alex, in curiousness. She is an amusing person to be around.
Sam sighed dreamily next to Alex, whilst walking home.
"Wasn't it amazing, Alex?" Sam asks, still in the dream state.
Alex shrugged, "It was okay." She was lying and Sam knew it too, but she didn't say anything.
While they walked home, Bill lingered in Alex's head. Hm, she thought, maybe that won't be the last time she'll see him.
She got into bed with Sam on the other bed next to her and shut her eyes, going into sleep mode. The concert was in her dreams that night.
The next morning she woke up and remembered the piece of paper that Bill gave to her and she digged through her skirt pocket and took out a small piece of paper that had been wrinkled from the pocket and she unfolded it.
Inside was Bill's phone number. She did a small smile and placed the piece of paper beside her nightstand. Should she tell Sam? She looked over at Sam who was sleeping with a comforter over her head.
Nah, later...
