*Colleen practices a new song backstage with Alexis, but every time someone came, be it a roadie or an employee of the ampitheater, she would look up anxiously to see if it were Leith and Skyler. When it wasn't she would sigh, and return her attention to the song.*
"Has Skyler ever missed a concert?"
"Once, but that was because he'd gotten into a fight and was in the hospital. It was several years ago." *She gets up and starts pacing. Then her eyes lit up as she sees Leith come in, Sky right behind him.*
"Sky, you sure cut it close this time!" *Speaks as she rushes over. She sees Skyler's nose is slightly swollen.* "What happened? Are you alright?"
*Very aware of Leith glaring at him, he rubbed his nose, grinning slightly.* "It's nothing, I just had a disagreement with a door. I wanted to go in, but it wanted me to stay out."
*Laughs* "Well, the show starts in a couple minutes! I'm glad you're here." *Gives Sky a hug.*
*Sky briefly hugs her back, looking nervously over at Leith.* ::I'd say she gave me permission by hugging me first, so don't hit me!::
*When Colleen pulls away from him, he looks down at the floor, rubbing his fingers through his hair.* "I'm sorry for being such a jerk earlier. I don't know why I get that way." ::Well, yeah, I do, but I can't tell... even you... especially you.::
"Well, it's over and done with, let's move on." *Colleen smiles.*
*Nods, taking a deep breath, then goes over to the curtains and peeks out.* ::I wonder if Heather is here.:: "It looks like we have a full house."

Arriving at the front enterance Heather handed the pass to the person behind the desk.
A usher walked over to her "May I take you to your seat?"
She smiled "Yes, please."
He escorted her down the aisle towards the front row.
She grew a little nervous, not knowing that the pass was for a front row seat, but didn't say anything.
When they got the front row he showed her to her seat then walked away.
She smiled slight at him before he walked away then turned her eyes to the stage, looking waiting for Colleen and all to come out, but particularly looking for Skyler. She glanced down at her hands for a moment and her hair fell over her shoulders, some of it rather in her eyes but she didn't bother to push it back when she looked back up.

*Just after commenting on the full house, he sees Heather following an usher to the front row, and smiles really big. His heart feels as though it's going to jump out of his chest* "Yes! She's here!"
"Who's here?" *Colleen wondered. She could sense his delight and excitement.*
*Hadn't realized he said it out loud. He closes the curtain and looks back.* "Oh, I..." *He smiles self conciously* "I met this girl... she's really nice." *Blushes.*
"Skyler Vortex, are you blushing?" *Laughs* "I never thought I'd see the day!"
"Ladies and gentlman, the Skywalker Ampitheater is pleased to introduce, Colleen MqCray!"
"Well, showtime, everyone!" *Walks onstage followed by Skyler, Alexis, and the rest of her band*

Heather stood with the rest of the crowd, clapping. After all, she liked Colleen's songs. Seeing Skyler she waved at him, a smile on her face.

*Skyler's face turned even more red when Colleen teased him for blushing.* ::I never thought I'd see the day, either.::
*He stopped blushing though before walking out on stage behind Colleen. He smiled brightly at Heather when she waved to him. He winked and blew her a kiss.*
"Thank you everyone for your warm and gracious welcome!" *Colleen smiled warmly out at the audience as she spoke into the microphone. She looked over at Skyler who was standing by the microphone near hers and noticed him looking at a particular audience member.* ::That must be her::
"I'm sure you all know Skyler Vortex, who by all rights should have equal billing with me but has refused it several times."
*She smiles as the applause rises for Skyler and leans over to whisper to him.* "See."
*Skyler smiled, and finally peeled his eyes off Heather to look over at Colleen. He spoke into the microphone.* "Thank you, but you are the real star, I'm just the meteor shower."
*He then looked out at the audience and waved.*
*Colleen blushed slightly at the compliment. She knew Skyler had enough talent and charm to have his own show. She was determined to help him see that for himself, though she'd be sad to see him go. She glances at the blonde girl he had been staring at earlier* ::Perhaps she will be the one that will give him the confidence.:: "Let me introduce to you the newest member of my band, the young and precocious, Alexis Wingstar on flute."
*Alexis steps forward slightly and waves, blushing slightly.*
*Introduces the rest of the band one by one, giving them all praises for their talents.*

Heather blushed a little at Skyler's attentions but she was still smiling. She watched Collen for a few moments but kept looking at him again.

*After Colleen's finished introducing the band, she starts playing a beginning phrase on her guitar which gives the band the cue of which song to play. She never played her songs in the same order in her concerts. It kept it from becoming routine.* *Starts singing* I caught a ride on the Dreamland Express last night, I was sailing on an ocean of blue, Right there by my side much to my surprise was you
I said, come on over here baby, let my look in your eyes, Let me see the very heart of you, And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come true,
Cause you said, hey there sweet momma everything is all right, For miles there's not a comlink line, There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous, Just come and be mine,
You said, (Sky and Colleen) let me be the end of your rainbow, Let me be the stars up above, Let me be the one that you long for, darling, Let me be the one that you love Let me be the one that you love
(Colleen only) And now it's four in the mornin', honey I can't sleep, I can't seem to get you out of my mind, I keep tossin' and turnin', yearnin' for the sun to shine,
I'd like to send you a ticket on the Dreamland Express, And take you far away with me, I've got a vision of heaven and you livin' there with me,
(Sky and Colleen the rest of the song) Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow, Let me be the stars up above, Let me be the one that you long for, darling, Let me be the one that you love Let me be the one that you love
Won't you let me be the end of your rainbow, Let me be the stars up above, Let me be the one that you long for, darling, Let me be the one that you love Let me be the one that you love Let me be the one that you love
*notices Skylar keeps looking at the same lady throughout the song* ::I've never seen him like this! He must really like her. It's nice to see.::

Heather reconized the song and sang along in part of it. She was sorta starting to wish that Skyler would stop looking at her though, it was making her a little uncomfortable with all the people around. When the song was over she stood, clapping and cheering with the crowd.

"Thank you." *Says quietly to Skylar away from the mic..* "I think you're making your lady friend uncomfortable by staring at her so much." *Blushes slightly then grins mischeiviously.* "What, are you jealous?"*Laughs, then starts playing the intro to another song. Speaks into her microphone.* "These next two songs are dedicated to my beloved Jon, who I'm sure most of you know past away four years ago." *Sings* Love of my life, my soulmate You're my best friend Part of me like breathing Now half of me is left
I don't know anything at all Who am I to say you love me I don't know anything at all & who am I to say you need me
Color me blue I'm lost in you Don't know why I'm still waiting Many moons have come & gone Don't know why I'm still searching
Don't know anything at all & who am I to say you love me I don't know anything at all & who am I to say you need me
Hmmm hmmm mmm Uhhh oohhh aahhh Hooo aahhh ohh ohhh
Now you're a song I love to sing Never thought ------ so free Now I know what's meant to be & that's okay with me
But who am I to say you love me & who am I to say you need me & who am I to say you love me
Mmmm Hmmm
I don't know anything at all & who am I to say you love me I don't know anything at all & who am I to say you need me I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all I don't know anything at all I don't know anything at all
*Slight pause before starting the next song* All of her days have gone soft and cloudy All of her dreams have gone dry All of her nights have gone sad and shady She's getting ready to fly
(Sky and Colleen) Fly away, fly away, fly away.
(Colleen only) Life in the city can make you crazy For sounds of the sand and the sea Life in a high-rise can make you hungry For things that you can't even see
(Sky and Colleen) Fly away, fly away, fly away.
(Sky)In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she! (Colleen at same time)In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as me! (Sky)There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere That she'd rather be. (Colleen at the same time)There's no where to go and there's nowhere that I'd rather be.
(Sky) She's looking for lovers and children playing She's looking for signs of the spring She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing She listens for any old thing
(Sky and Colleen) Fly away, fly away, fly away.
(Sky)In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she! (Colleen at same time)In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as me! (Sky)There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere That she'd rather be. (Colleen at the same time)There's no where to go and there's nowhere that I'd rather be.
(Sky) All of her days have gone soft and cloudy All of her dreams have gone dry All of her nights have gone sad and shady She's getting ready to fly
(Sky and Colleen) Fly away, fly away, fly away.
(Colleen) Where is the sunlight? Where is the spring? Where is the laughter? I want to fly away!

During the first song Heather was wiping tears from her eyes, she loved that song but it always made her cry. She tried to avoid Skyler's eyes because she didn't want him to see her tears though. By the end of that song her thoughts had drifted and she didn't pay much attention to the second song, her eyes staring in Skyler's direction but her mind elsewhere. When the song was over and the crowd started clapping she snapped out of it with a start and clapped lightly.

*Sky may not have seen Heather's tears, but he could tell by her bearing that she was upset. Part of him wanted to go down and put his arms around her and comfort her.* ::Stang, I really have fallen!:: *Swallows and turns his attention to just performing, even though he still glances over to Heather now and then.**When Colleen plays the intro to this next song, she looks over to the wings and spots Leith and smiles slightly.* ::This one's for you.:: *Looks back out at the audience, but still pictures Leith in her mind's eye.* I'd sing you a song, without a word. Still you would hear my tune. I'd give you a day, without a time. So it won't end too soon. Oh, anything, I would do. And that really is my point of view. (Colleen and Sky) If ever, my darling in my life I ever had a chance to love you.
(Colleen only) I'd build you a world made of the dream That dances in your head. Take a rainbow, with colors bright To hang over your bed. Anything, I would do. And that really is my point of view. (Colleen and Sky) If ever, my darling in my life I ever had a chance to love you.
(Colleen only) Give me a sign and I will show you. The magic of when I speak. Open your heart, let me come in. My love is yours to keep. Anything, I would do. And that really is my point of view.
(Alternates between Colleen only, Sky only, and Colleen and Sky together with the last line being them together) If ever, my darling in my life. If ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you.
*Leith felt as though Colleen was singing this particular song just for him.* ::Wishful thinking. She's out of your league!::

Heather listened to the song, a smile on her face and her eyes on Skyler most of the time. When the song was over the entire crowd came to it's feet, clapping and cheering, and she joined it.

*Colleen smiles and looks over at Skyler.* "Why don't you sing a couple of your songs now?"
o.O *Sky is totally taken off guard.* "This is your show. They came to hear you!"
*Colleen looks out at the audience.* "I have known Skyler for eight years now. I never until now would have called him shy!"
*The audience laughs*
"Come on Sky. Please? That butterfly song of yours is wonderful."
*Blushes furiously and shakes his head.* "No, I couldn't."
*to the audience* "You all would love to hear Sky's songs, right?"
*Huge applause and whistles and carrying on.*
"You can't let them down!" *Smiles at him encouragingly.*
*Face still flushed, he looks at Heather.*

She laughed slightly, listening to Colleen try to get Skylar to play one of his songs. When he looked at her she nodded with a smile, trying to indicate that she'd like to hear his song.
