Pradirxst get hopelessly lost backstage, à la Spinal Tap.
You go back the way you came.
“Sweetie, are you sure it’s this way?”
You think back, it’s been at least 10 years since you guys played here last….
“Yeah…this way, I think…!” You push past Ged and Neil, their scents wafting up your nostrils. Wine and leather.
Instruments in hand, you and your partners wander through a few more narrow hallways. Still lost.
“C'mon, Al! We’re almost late for soundcheck!” Geddy says, pointing to his watch.
You see someone out of the corner of your eye. A tech guy! He oughta know which way the stage is!
You hurriedly run to him and ask for directions. Trying not to blush.
“It’s just down this hall. Turn right at the green sign, then a few doors down on your right is a sign that says "staff/security only.” Go through that door and the stage is right there.“ The tech guy explains, gum clicking in his mouth.
You hurriedly say "thanks!” and run down the hallway, Ged and Neil not far behind.
right at the green sign….green sign…wow this is farther than I thought!
Deep in thought, you accidentally turn left at the green sign. You’re right back to the tech guy!
“Whoops!! Wrong turn!” Dumbass!!
The tech guy blows a bubble with his gum, “RIGHT, at the green sign.”
Ged looks at the guy with distaste, “…thanks.”
Neil rolls his eyes, “C'mon, babe, get it together.”
“Alright…” You breathe, annoyed. “Follow me, sweethearts!”
You hear the distant sound of the crew getting louder as you near the stage entrance.
“Finally!” Geddy says, relieved. “I knew we’d make it sooner or later, babe”
He kisses you on the cheek. You can’t help but blush.
“I had faith. Not much, but I had faith” Neil jokes.
He grabs your ass as he walks past you on the stairs. You playfully swat his arm.
“Hey! Wait til AFTER soundcheck!”
Thank you, signalsgirl2112! You write so well for them! And no worries, we all make mistakes with tumblr’s sucky interface for answering asks. :)
