Teen Love!

It is a Monday night and you're kicked back on the sofa, recovering from a long day at work, listening to your favorite Journey CD, drinking your favorite beverage when the phone rings. You want to ignore it but it might be something important and you haul yourself off of the sofa and you glance at the caller ID before you answer. The number is not one you recognize and you decide not to answer, it is just probably one of those pesky telemarketers, and you turn to walk away but something tells you to answer it.

You: "Hello"

SP: "Hello, this is Steve Perry, and I am calling on behalf of the charity Rock Stars For Children. This year we are having a dinner and dance to benefit needy children in the area. Tickets are ten dollars a piece. Would you like to add your name to the list to help this worthy organization ?"

You are stunned! You recognize that voice! It's the same voice that is playing on your stereo at this very moment. You stand there, like a dumb-struck fool, the phone stuck to your ear and your mouth open, too much in shock to speak.

SP: "Hello?..........Miss ?

Finally you get the courage to say something.....

You: "Steve PERRY?! OH, My God! Is It really YOU????!!!!"

SP: "Yeah, are you alright?"

You: " Umm.......Umm........ Steve, you are like my IDOL!"

SP: *sounding embarrassed* "Awe, thanks...you are too kind!"

You: "ANYTIME!"

SP: "Say, what's that I hear in the backround? Sounds familiar..."

You: "That is Frontiers! I am listening to 'Troubled Child' -- I just LOVE that song!"

SP: "You are too great! Thanks a bunch!"

You: "So, about that Charity.... Can you tell me again what it's about?"

SP: "Of course! It's a wonderful program that promotes a Dinner and Dance, tickets are 10 dollars each. It's called Rock Stars for Children. It's to help hungry and needy children in this area. It really is a great charity. So, do you feel like you would like to help out and give some children another chance?"

You: "Wow. That sounds wonderful! I would LOVE to be a part of that! Sure, you can add my name to the list... (you tell Steve your name. And you are not hesitant to tell Steve your address!!!).....So, you like working with kids, eh?"

SP: "just LOVE em! They are so sweet and innocent! And they always tell you what's on their mind, never any fake stuff! They are fun to hang out with, too!"

You: *sounding amazed* "That's so sweet!"

SP: "So, are you a big fan of eating at that little Salad and Veggies place on the corner of Grande Avenue?"

You: *shocked and in love!* "OH, MY GOD! Are You asking me out on, on, on a date!?"

SP: *trying desperately not to giggle, but a little laugh pops out* "Yeah, I guess you could say that....." *giggles again*

You: "Well, I am a BIG FAN of eating ANYWHERE with YOU!!! I would LOVE to go!!!!"

SP: "Alright then. Say, tomorrow at about noon?"

You: "IT'S A DATE, STEVIE!!!!!"

SP: *Sounding like he is in love, using that SEXY low voice of his* "Cool. Well, I'll see ya then, my lady......"

You: "You bet you will!!!"

You both hang up the phone and you sit back on the couch..... You turn to the stereo and just look at the speakers and SCREAM: " I LOVE STEVE PERRY!" The phone rings again, and you jump 5 feet in the air screaming "STEVE, STEVE!" You look at the Caller I.D. and you see it's your brother..... and you think to yourself: "Jeez! What does he want! Oh, well, let the machine get it!" Then you start laughing hysterically like you are some insane monkey lady with a BAD wedgie.

You plop yourself onto the couch and lay on your big fluffy navy blue velvet pillow that takes up half of the couch, and just daydream like there was no tomorrow..... Well, in your case, there had better be tomorrow! YOU GOING OUT WITH STEVE PERRY!!! You drift off into a light sleep and begin to dream.

You are walking in a field of daisies, and they are all white. The green grass splashes like an oil painting against the white..... there is one single yellow daisie.........you pick it and put it in your hair above your ear.

Out of no where, someone taps you on the shoulder (you know what I am gonna say next...). IT's STEVIE! He says how cute that little flower looks by your ear...... and he hands you a pail of lillies.

Now, since flowers are the key to almost every girls heart, you naturally melt into his arms. While you are hugging, he askes you to dance. Now, this is Steve Perry, so are you gonna say no? NO! You begin to do a little waltz kinda thing and then he stops. You ask if anything is wrong, and Steve says that he is just amazed at your beauty and the way you carry yourself, you both lay down next to one another in the field of daisies.

Steve kisses your hand, even though it is daylight, you can see the moon, and you and Steve begin to talk about the moon and how he speaks to it. Coincidently, you do the same thing! you two share a wonderful conversation, and then.... YOU WAKE UP!!!!! I know, what happens next??? You go on your date, of course!!!!!

THE END!
