It was the day of the gig.  The guys had been downstairs rehearsing all morning and now they were packing up their gear to take the the club and set up there.  They were all extremely hyper that day from the excitement. 
"Are you sure that there is nothing that I can do to help guys?" You asked sitting on the couch with Toby watching them packing up everything that they needed for tonight.
""No.  we got all this, just sit there and be your beautiful self."  Jorn said. 
Pelle shot him a look and gave him a friendly shove and asked,
"Are you hitting on my girlfriend?"
Jorn just smiled at him and said in a taunting tone,
"Maybe...".
You blushed as they laughed.  So far, it seemed that you and Jorn were hitting it off.  He was very sweet to you and seemed like a very good friend to Pelle. It also seemed that there may have been a little animosity between Pelle and Oystein.  You sensed something that wasn't right there, you couldn't quite put your finger on it, but there was definitely some tension between the two of them.  The were finally done packing everything up and then started taking it up the stairs and out to the Jeep.  There was a lot of snow on the ground but the guys made sure that you didn't do any shoveling and were taking care of that for you. They loaded up and were now ready to go the club, set up and do a sound check.  They made sure they had enough time for you to take them to Andy's Market to pick up some pig heads.
Once they were done packing up their gear, you brought Toby in and got your keys and your jacket and got in the Jeep and started it up.  Everyone sat in the Jeep and talked while it was warming up. 
"Did you guys pack the CDs?" You shouted.
"Yes!" Jan replied.
"Well ok..let's roll!" You exclaimed.
Everyone in the car hooted and hollered as you began to pull out of the driveway.  Once you got to the main road you were happy to see them clear, especially after all the snow that had been falling in Teller County over the past week.  You made your way down the pass to the Springs with ease.  First stop was Andy's Meat Market to get the pig heads.  Pelle went inside to pick them up.  He opened the passenger side door and asked,
"Where do you want me to put these?"
You leaned over his side of the car and said,
"Ewww, put them in the back.  I don't want to look at them, let alone SMELL them."
Pelle took the plastic wrapped pig head and showed it to you.  A little disgusted shriek left your lips.  He laughs and said,
"Pop the back door and I'll stick them in the back."
You popped the back for him and he put them with the gear and slammed the door down.  He got in and you took off for the club which was right down the street a few blocks.  When you got there, you walked in while the guys sat in the car.  As you entered the club you saw the owner and your very good friend, Craig.
"Hey! Glad you made it!"  He said walking over to you and giving you a big hug.
"Thanks, the roads were not too bad"
"How are the guys?"
"Hyper and excited." You replied.  "They are ready for this, thanks for letting me book this gig for them."
"Not a problem, you can tell them that they can come on in and start setting up and doing their sound check."
"Awesome!  I'll go get them."
You walked out the doors and opened your door, pulled the keys out of the ignition and said,
"Craig said to go ahead and get set up and do your sound check."
They all got out of the car and started unloading their gear and bringing it into the club.  You walked back in after they unloaded the last of their stuff,    You sat at the bar and Craig made you a drink and you watched the guys do their thing.  They were so excited, but not as excited as Pelle.  He looked like a kid on Christmas morning.  You knew that this meant the world to him and you were so excited that you knew people and had the money to make this happen for him, and the band too.  Just looking at them setting up made you smile.  After you finished your drink, you walked up to the stage and said,
"Pelle!"
He turned around and walked over to you and squat down.
"What is it babe?"
"I don't want to be here for sound check because I want it to be a surprise for me tonight."
"I understand.  Can you come back in about an hour?  we should be done by then,"
"Of course babe.  I'll see you in about an hour."
He laid on his stomach grabbed the edge of the stage and pulled his torse closer to you and puckered up his lips.  You put both of your hands on either side of his face and gave him a big kiss.  Jan asked,
"Hey..where's MY kiss?"
You laughed and Pelle said,
"My foot is about to give your ass a kiss."
You laughed even harder as you walked away from the stage towards the doors of the club.  They were still up there arguing as you walked out of the doors and to your Jeep.  You started it up and pulled out of the parking lot to go to the mall to kill some time until you had to pick them up.
