Janet

"Guys that sounds great" I said bringing a smile to my face. I watched as the band played something new. They wanted to make a change to feedback and it sounded great.

"I really like that guys, it's kinda funky" I said moving my waist to the bass.

Daniel was my piano player, him and I always got along. He looked up at me lifting his head from the piano. "Don't it kinda remind you of Prince" he said with a serious face.

I couldn't help but giggle. "Are you trying to start something" I asked in playful tone.

"No Janet what makes you say that?"

"Because you know Prince and my brother had a little beef. At least Prince had beef with my brother"

"You know I'm team Michael if your team Michael" he was so serious without trying to be funny. It just made me want to laugh even more.

"What if I wanna be team Prince" I questioned to see his reaction.

"Then I'm team Prince!" His eyes widened getting big I couldn't help but to laugh. "Shit you write my checks right" he chuckled making the whole band laugh.

"Ok Daniel I get it, you're on whatever team I'm on" I said smiling at him.

"Damn right I am"

"Ok you guys, I love it, keep it up" I said before looking for Gil.

Everyone was in the venue as we did our soundcheck before the show that night. I found Gil at the bottom of the stage huddled up with the kids. Walking up behind him I began to ease drop on him.

"I want more energy from you guys ok. No more staying up late on the tour bus. I need everybody sleep at least by one" he held up one finger as the kids looked over his shoulder at me.

Gil paused to face me. "Continue" I said.

He began to face the kids again. "You guys were getting sloppy in London. I need you guys to be sharp tonight alright! This is Australia!" Gil chanted. "Alright team! I know I've been getting sloppy too. We're all a team when you win we all win. So I need you guys to pull each other together so we can all win. Alright I want you guys to come in and say Janet on three"

Everyone put their hands together. One hand on top of the other and Gil's on top. Gil nodded his head at me. I squeezed in between Guero and Denzel. I could feel a warm hand grip onto the right side of my waist. I assumed it was Denzel since my back was facing his front as we stood close in the huddle.

Placing my hand on top of the pile of hands everyone looked at Gil. "One, Two, Three" he chanted the count down.

"JANET" everyone but me shouted my name as we threw our hands up.

Denzel released his hand from my body. Out of nowhere I felt someone tapping my shoulder. Breaking my neck I saw no one to only turn back around seeing Denzel right in front of me.

"Ahh she fell for it" he said shaking his head.

Guero came to my side shaking his head too. "You know your not supposed to look right" he said placing his arm around my shoulder.
