Chapter 13
Darren hung up the phone and
smiled.
"D's in
love!" Daniel sang, in a girlie voice. They opened the connecting door and
walked into Karl and Lee's room where they were gonna practice for the show.
They pushed the beds out of the way and made room. Ben came over and they
decided on "To The Moon And Back." Daniel and Ben picked up their
guitars and started to play as Darren started to sing. They finished faster than
they even knew.
"Wow guys, that
was really good," Lee said. They all agreed and decided they didn't need to
practice anymore. They went back in their separate rooms and Darren flopped on
his bed and turned on the TV. He
and Daniel vegged out while watching TV.
~~~~~
The next day, the guys
got up 5 a.m. They had to be there at 7 for the sound check and ready for the
show by 9. Darren, being the non-morning person that he is, was the last one up.
"D!! GET YOUR LAZY
ASS UP!" Daniel screamed in his ear. He slapped a pillow in his face and
Darren groaned and rolled over. He fell back asleep.
"You're gonna get
it now D," Daniel said. He took Darren's bag and dumped everything on
Darren, including the bag.
"What the?!"
Darren asked, groggily. Daniel knew that would wake him up cause he hated having
a mess. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. He looked at Daniel, who never looks good
in the morning.
"Augh! Good thing
I didn't look up at you while you tried to wake me up! I'd be freaked out!"
Darren said. Daniel threw his wet towel from his hair at Darren.
"Hey, like I said,
I may look like hell, but I'm always the first one there and up," Daniel
said.
"Hell isn't a word
to describe you!! It should be Godzilla in Hell," Darren said. Daniel
laughed sarcastically. Darren got up and dragged himself in the shower. He got
dressed and ready for the show. He opened the bathroom door to see four faces
starring at him, waiting for him to be done.
"Bout time Darren,
my clothes went outta style," Lee said.
"Too late Lee,
they are ready are!! C'mon D!" Daniel said. They got their bodyguards and
walked to the lobby safely. They figured all the fans were still in bed. They
got in the van and drove to the studio. There were a ton of screaming fans
waiting to catch a glimpse of the guys. They drove to the back door and got out.
They wanted to sign autographs like they always do, but they were already behind
time. They walked in and they got escorted to the stage. They got assigned their
mics and checked them. They checked the lights and ran "To The Moon And
Back." Darren’s mic was shot, so they had to get him a new one and do it
all over again. They figured all the stuff out. They got escorted to the room
they'd stay in until show time so they could let the crowd in. They all sat down
in the room and Oprah entered.
"Hey guys!"
she said, smiling. They all got up and greeted her. She sat down and briefly
explained what they'd be doing and what type of questions she was gonna ask.
They all agreed and she had to leave to get her makeup on. They sat around and
engaged themselves in magazines. Finally, the bodyguards came and told them it
was time to come out. They were pretty pumped up. They stood by the door and
waited until Oprah said, "SAVAGE GARDEN!!" She finally screamed it and
they ran out and onstage. They waved to the screaming fans in the audience. They
all took a seat and Oprah did a brief intro and started the questions.
"So, how do you
guys like Chicago?"
"It's great!"
they all said.
"Now, rumor has
it, Daniel and Darren are now living in Boston, correct?" she asked. Daniel
shot a look at Darren. She didn't tell them she was gonna ask that question.
"Umm...yeah, but
it's only temporary," Daniel answered.
"Ok, everyone's
been asking me to ask you this Daniel, but when are you gonna keep your hair the
same color?!?!" she asked. All the guys cracked up.
"Well, I can't
stay the same for long, so maybe I'll just do a rainbow thing," Daniel
answered.
As Oprah was talking to
them about Darren’s recent divorce one girl stood up and screamed, "WILL
YOU MARRY ME Darren!?!?!?!" Darren
smiled and blushed. Oprah continued to ask them questions.
"Ok, here’s the
question that everyone wants to know....do you guys have GIRLFRIENDS???!?!"
Oprah asked. They all smiled and looked at Darren.
"Well.....one of
us does....," Daniel said in a "I know something you don't know"
type of voice.
"Well!! Who is
it?!?!" Oprah said, getting excited.
"DARREN!!"
Lee, Daniel, Karl, and Ben screamed. Darren turned a deep shade of red. The
crowd got mad and one girl broke into tears.
"Oooo....ok, lets
get the scoop," she said.
"Her name is
Delia," Darren said. They talked about her then Daniel changed the subject.
"Is Delia the
reason you moved to Boston?" Oprah asked, ignoring Daniel's try to change
the subject.
"No, I have family
up there," Darren lied, quickly. Daniel looked at him and nodded. He did
the right thing.
"Darren has family
everywhere," Lee added. They performed "To The Moon And Back" and
ended the show. They walked backstage after they greeted their fans. They
plopped down in chairs and cooled off.
"Good show
guys," the crew commented. They thanked them and Daniel shook his head.
"Damn," he
said.
"What?" Karl
asked.
"I can't believe
she went on and on about Dee. Doesn't she know that Dee needs her privacy
too?" Daniel said.
"I know. I hope
Dee won't get mad," Darren said.
"I'm sure she won't," Lee said. The guys agreed and they got escorted out to their van and drove back to the hotel.
