“YUCK!”  She yelled.  “Apple Juice.”  No time for moaning.  The toasted popped up and she grabbed the toast as it was in mid-air.  Shoving it in her mouth barely chewing.

Slamming the door and jumping onto the road.  She started running just as soon as her feet touched ground.  To the airport!  A few minutes later she arrived, just in time!  The flight was on time.  Out of breath, she pushed past the crowds.  Billie stepped off the plane and into the building.  Tre and Mike following. There where no security guards, here was her chance.  She ran forward slipping under the barrier landing in front of Mike.

“Hi…I…I’m…” She stuttered.  The excitement was deadly.  “I’m Jessie and I know you hear this all the time but I’m like one of your biggest fans!”  They looked at her.  She un-zipped her jacket displaying her t-shirt saying ‘made in east bay.’ They grinned.

“Will you sign this for me?” She asked producing a c.d. from her bag.

“Sure why not!”  Billie Joe responded.  His voice sounded amazing.  She handed over the c.d. and a pen.  Billie signed it then handed it to Mike.  Tre elbowed Billie.

“OW!” He yelped.  “What the…”  Tre whispered something to Billie and smiled.  Mike passed the c.d. to Tre.  Billie smiled at Mike then turned to her.

“Hey guys, maybe she could show us to our hotel.  What do you say?”  He asked.  OH GOD!  Is this real?  She pinched herself slightly.

“Did you just pinch yourself?”  Mike asked.  She blushed.

“Hell yea!  Of course I’ll show you!”  She replied.  Tre laughed.  The c.d. was handed back and they walked out of the airport.  Outside bigger groups of screaming teen fans waved and yelled.  She felt so lucky.

“So, where are you staying?” 

“The Harrington.”  Billie answered. 

“Cool, I live just up the road from there.”  They smiled and looked at each other.  Press gathered and snapped pictures for the paper.  A car pulled up.

“Ladies first!”  Billie said opening a door to a land rover type car.  Mike got in the front and Billie and Tre sat either side.  Giving directions to the driver, she still managed to talk to the guys.  Not only was their music good but they had great personalities.  They finally arrived outside the hotel.  She got out as well.

“So… is this goodbye?” Billie asked

“I guess, unless you want to see me again, which I highly doubt.”  She responded.

“Sure we do!”  Mike said quite eagerly.

They agreed.  Tre spoke this time.

“Wanna come up with us and maybe, I dunno, come to our concert tonight?”

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”  Billie assured her.  This was her dream and only a basket case would say no!

“Yess!”  She squealed all giddy.  They got their cases and walked inside.  At check in, the woman seem to not know who they where! 

“Do you have any reservations for a Mr. I P Freely?”  Billie asked her.

“Let me check, uh… wait a minute!”  She snapped.  They rolled about laughing.

After that reception didn’t seem to like them.  They went upstairs to their room.  Billie and Tre sat on the bed laughing their heads off at some TV show.  Mike and Jessie sat on the balcony.

“Mike?”  She said.

“Huh?  Oh, what?”

“Will you do me one thing?”  She asked sweetly.

“Sure.”  He smiled. “What?”

“Can I come to your concert tonight?  Maybe come on stage?  I mean if that’s not too much trouble.” 

“Of course!” 

“I play guitar!”  She told him.

He smiled then things went silent.  She went back in. 

Billie stood up.

“Right we are going out for dinner!”  He told us all.  Tre phoned a taxi.

Tre and Billie went to their rooms. 

  “Would you like a shower?”  Mike asked

  “Sure anything with you!”  She said not thinking.  “Oops I mean, yes please.”  She blushed and so did Mike a bit!  She entered the bathroom and showered.  After she was done she went back to see Mike sitting on the bed. 

“You’re a good singer!”  Mike said.

“Oh my God!  You heard me sing!  I’m so sorry.”  She replied nervously.

He smiled.  Then patted the bed as a sign for her to sit down.  She joined him. 

“You’re really cool you know.”  He told her.  He looked into her eyes.  Just as they where about to kiss, the door flung open.

“Ready guys?”  Billie asked.  Immediately they pulled away. 

“Sure!”  Mike replied as if nothing had happened. 

“You coming?”  Billie asked.

“Of course she’s coming!”  Mike replied putting his arm round her shoulders.

Tre was waiting downstairs.  They all got in the taxi. 

“What is the most expensive restaurant in town?”  Billie asked the driver.

“15” Replied the driver. 

“15 it is then!”  Billie told him.

Mike sat in the back and Tre in the front this time.  They arrived and Tre paid the driver.  As they went inside a girl shouted.

“OH MY GOD IT’S GREEN DAY!” 

“Uh-oh!”  Billie said.  A group of screaming girls surrounded them.  A guy walked out of the restaurant.  He looked angry.

“Break it up!  Come on, don’t make me call the authorities!”  The man said. 

“Thanks.”  Mike said as he walked passed.

“God you guys sure get some hassle.”  Jessie said.  They continued to go inside.  After they got seated they ordered.

“I’ll have the vegetarian lasagna with a root beer.”  Billie ordered. 

“Sorry sir, we don’t sell root beer here.”  The waitress replied. 

“3, sorry, 4 of your finest beers then.”  He sighed.

“I’ll have, hmm, the most expensive thing on this menu.”  Tre said

“And I’ll have vegetarian lasagna too.”  Mike said then smiled.

“Yea me too.”  Jessie said smiling back at Mike.  The drinks came and Billie decided to have a drinking competition. 

“I’m not really a heavy drinker.”  Jessie told them. 

“Come on!  It’s fun!”  Billie told her. 

“5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!”  Tre shouted out.  Billie downed his in 1 followed by Tre.  Jessie came next despite her fuss earlier.  Then Mike finished.  Billie laughed. 

“Here we go 3 vegetarian lasagnas and 1 mixed grill.”  The waitress said handing out the plates.

“Ha-ha, look at all that food Tre!  That’ll be one big dookie!”  Billie laughed.

 “God this is killing me!”  Billie yelled out.  “I haven’t had a fag all day.  Coming Mike?”  Mike looked towards Jessie.

“Nah, I’ll be out later.”  He told him.  Jessie smiled at him.  By 6:30, they had all finished their food and went outside to find Billie.  Billie was out there leaning against a wall smoking, drinking and shouting at some guy. 

“Oh damn!”  Mike shouted.  “He’s had too much to drink!  I forgot about the concert now look at him!”  Tre rushed over to him.

“It’s ok dude.”  Tre told him. 

“Tre dude!  When did you get here?”  Billie yelled in a drunk state.  Mike called over a taxi.  They helped Billie in. 

“You know what?”  Billie said to Jessie.  “You are really hot.  But don’t tell my, you know, wife that!”  He ruffled her hair. 

“I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies, this is the d-dawning of the lest of our rifes on holiday!”  Billie sung.  “Hear the protestor pounding out of time, another drum has crossed the line.”  Mike rolled his eyes and propped Billie back up. 

 “Here you go guys, and watch your friend he isn’t exactly sober.”  The driver said to them.

“Mmm thanks for the tip.”  Tre replied.  They walked to the backstage area.  Tre held up Billie and escorted him up the steps.

“Are you coming guys?”  Tre asked.

“Yea just give me a minute!”  Mike shouted back.  “Jessie?”
 “Yes?”  She replied.  Mike leaned in to her face his lips out once again.  Jessie leaned in, their lips touched.  Then he broke away.

“Just encase I don’t get another chance.”  Mike said.  Jessie smiled at him and put her hand out.  He grabbed it and they walked together up to the stage.

“Ooh someone’s been kissed!  You have a little lip gloss right there.”  Billie said to Mike.  Mike just blushed and went into the dressing room. 

“So,” Billie said putting his arm round Jessie’s shoulder.  “Was Mike a good kisser?  Bet he wasn’t as good as me!” 

“I wouldn’t know if you where a good kisser!”  She told him.  Billie turned around and swung his other arm around her neck.  He kissed her full on.

“So was he as good as me?”  Billie smiled.  Jessie sat there amazed barley able to take in what just happened. 

“I dunno.  Depends.”  She replied teasing him.  She smiled at him.

“I know I was good ‘cause you were g-good and when the person I kiss is good usually so-so am I!”  He blurted out.  Tre walked in. 

“Hey BJ get your guitar we have to go on now.”  Mike appeared, his bass in his hands. 

“You gonna be ok?”  Mike asked her. 

“Sure I am!”  She replied quite happily.  Billie ran on stage.

  “Say hey!”  He yelled to over 20,000 people.  They went wild, there were people with banners, people with lasers and people who had dyed their hair green!  He started with American idiot.  Even drunk he was fantastic.  Near the end they done we are the champions.  Then Mike took the front.

  “There is someone who is very special to me here tonight, please welcome Jessie!”  He announced.  “Now, Jessie earlier you told me you can play guitar, so who out there in the crowd can play bass?”  They screamed.  He picked a guy to play bass and this wild 17 year old girl to play drums.  They played Knowledge.  After the song, they went off to the backstage.   

Jessie went to give the guitar back to Billie.

  “You keep it!”  He said.  Jessie flung her arms around Billie in front of 20,000 people.  She looked down to see jealous teen girls.  So she stuck out her tongue.  Then ran off stage. 

  “That… that was me, I and my girl right there!  We kissed but don’t tell my wife you know…”  Billie shouted to the crowds. 

“Oh God!”  Mike yelled.  “Tre a little help.”

“Good night everybody!  You where all… great!”  He screamed before passing out.  Mike ran over.  Tre followed.

 “Is he ok?”  The drummer asked.  “Or is he going to be?”  Mike looked up.

“Sure but we better get him out of here.”  He replied.

“YAARG!!”  Billie yelled jumping up.  Then started singing.  “Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me... up the Irish yo ho.”  Singing hilariously slurring his words. 

“Lets get him to his room.”  Mike said.  “Come on Billie we gotta get you outta here.” 

“Wee!  I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.”  Billie started again.  Mike and Tre held an arm each.  And started to walk.

“Coming Jessie?”  Mike asked.  “Do you have some place to go?” 

“Uh, yeah i better get home.”  She replied. 

“oh.”  Mike said sadly.

“'I promise I'll see you in the morning.”  She said back.  Then Mike kissed her softly. Billie hugged her and Tre just gave a weird wave. Jessie watched as they walked up the street Tre and Billie singing.  The end of a fantastic day with Green Day.
