Brian, Val and the newly arrived Michelle are sitting on the first few rows at the venue, while the technical crew and the rest of the band are on stage helping to set up.

Brian is sitting signing the big pile of photos Val keeps passing him. Everyone he signs he passes to Michelle, as Val puts a new one down.

On stage Matt is doing an interview for the local radio station covering the gig, and Jimmy and Johnny keep chipping in with the interview, much to the annoyance of Matt. While they’re playing up Cassy is closely following Zacky, to learn the ropes. They obviously get along and have quickly become friends and have realised they the have same sense of humour, they’re making fun of each other.

MICHELLE:So, who’s the girl?

BRIAN:We have a new girl!? (Looking at the stage, hoping to see some ass.) Oh, she’s just a tech.
VAL:And still the new girl. She’s Cassy.

MICHELLE:Zacky’s tech?

VAL:Yeah.

MICHELLE:Indicating Brian with her finger. Not his?

VAL:No. Come on, what’s wrong with her?

MICHELLE:Well, lets just say if I were Gena I’d be keeping her very close.

BRIAN: (Still signing.) Why?

MICHELLE:Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

VAL:Why? What’s wrong with her?

MICHELLE:Oh Val, look at her! Touching his arm, following his around like a little lost puppy, and no way on this earth is Zack that funny, she hasn’t stopped laughing! If she isn’t flirting, then…then I’m a lesbian!

BRIAN:Can I watch?!

MICHELLE:Baby, I’d let you join in!

BRAIN:Seriously?

MICHELLE:Fuck no! Lesbian baby – no cock!

Brain pouts.

BRIAN:Fine. I’m going to warm up.

VAL:You’ve gotta finish these.

BRIAN:There must be another 200 there Val.

VAL:About 150 max. It won’t take long.

BRIAN:I’ll do another 200 if you let me go now.

VAL:When?

BRIAN:100 tonight, 100 tomorrow?

VAL:So when you doing this 150?

BRIAN:In that lot.

VAL:So you’re only doing me an extra fifty? No deal!

BRIAN:I’ll do them over breakfast, then the other 200 over the two days, okay?

VAL:You better do.

BRIAN:If I don’t I’ll buy you five years worth of mint chocolate.

VAL:Off with you!

BRIAN: (Kissing Michelle.) Bye Bub.

Brian runs towards the stage, finally free from signing autographs.

VAL:She isn’t flirting with Zack.

MICHELLE:Val, are you blind?!

VAL:He has a girlfriend.

MICHELLE:That mean’s fuck all.

VAL:Zacky wouldn't cheat on Gena.

LEANA: (Shouting to the stage, she’s standing behind where Michelle and Val are sitting.) Why the fuck is my fiancé in a fucking skirt?!

JIMMY:Rabbit!

LEANA:Rampant!

JIMMY:You’re early!

LEANA:To surprise you!

JIMMY:Well you did do!

LEANA:What’s with the skirt?

JIMMY:Easy access baby!

LEANA:Please tell me you’ve got something on under that?

JIMMY:Hell no! I’m enjoying the freedom!

Everyone in ears shot groans, while Johnny and Zacky burst out laughing thinking it’s hilarious.

JOHNNY:At least he doesn’t have sweaty balls!

JIMMY:All clean for my blowjob later Rabbit.

LEANA:Not until I get mine-

JIMMY:Oh you’ll be getting yours!

Leana collapses next to Val.

LEANA:Please tell me he’s got something on under that?

MICHELLE:You never know with that man.

Leana groans her head falling backwards.

VAL:How come you’re like twelve hours early?

LEANA:I got bored. So using Rampant’s card I got an earlier flight.

VAL:Naughty-

LEANA:No, what is naughty, is that I came with no spare clothing. I bought one days worth at the airport, but what Mr. Scottish over there doesn’t know, is that he’s taking me to shopping tomorrow and I need new clothes to last me while I’m here, …and I’ve decided I’m staying out for the full four weeks!

Zacky and Cassy laugh. It’s obvious it’s a private joke, as no one else is joining in.

LEANA:Who’s the new slut?

MICHELLE:I told you so-

VAL:She’s not a slut-

LEANA:Then why is she flirting with Zacky?

VAL:She isn’t-

LEANA:He’s not that funny.

MICHELLE:What did I tell you?

VAL:She’s not that kinda girl. She’s just got out of a bad relationship-

MICHELLE/LEANA:Rebound!

LEANA:With a rock star too-

MICHELLE:Aiming high.

VAL:He’s not her rebound.

JOHNNY: (Shouting across the venue.) Val, have you seen my hair gel? Gena said I had it and I don’t know where I left it.

VAL:Standing. Yes, I’ll get it for you.

MICHELLE: (Holding her.) Get it yourself, lazy ass!

JOHNNY:I’m busy.

MICHELLE:Doing what?

JOHNNY:Asking Val for my gel.

MICHELLE:You lazy little shit! (Forcing Val to sit back down.) You’re babysitting!

JOHNNY:Val-!

MICHELLE:Get it your-fucking-self!

JOHNNY: (Walking off the side of the stage where Gena is flipping though a magazine.) Gena, I can’t find it, and Val won’t get it!

GENA:I told you to get it, not get Val to!

MICHELLE: (To Val.) What have I told you?

VAL:Don’t play babysitter.

MICHELLE:They’re grown men, Valery!

Jimmy has just flashed his arse to the camera that is filming for their website. Everyone on stage who saw him laugh, whereas Gena doesn’t, she just rolls her eyes and goes back to her magazine. Zacky and Cassy are too busy setting up to see what happened, after a quick glance up, Zacky giggles and goes back to showing her the ropes.

LEANA:Grown men?

MICHELLE:You’re coming home with me-!

VAL:I can’t leave Matt and the boys.

MICHELLE:They’re grown men! Just to give you a break from the tour bus, Val. I’m not taking no for an answer.

LEANA:Did you just see that?

Michelle and Val’s gaze shoots back to the stage.

MICHELLE:No, what? What I miss?!

LEANA:The new girl-

VAL:Cassy-

LEANA:Whoever! She just laughed at something Zacky said, and she shoved him, and he lost his hat, so she picked it up and put it on! I thought he’d take it off her, but oh no! He fixed it on her head and smiled!

VAL:Oh no! He smiled!

MICHELLE:He let her keep his hat! Even Brian wouldn’t let me do that-

LEANA:And Zacky hates having no hair.

MICHELLE:That’s true!

VAL:So he let her wear his hat – oh God, I feel like I’m back at school.

LEANA:Was she this innocent at school?

MICHELLE:Worse, she thinks we should have grown out of it by now.

VAL: (Frantically pointing at the stage.) Look! Look!

MICHELLE/LEANA: (Looking at the stage, scared they might have missed something.) What?

VAL:She’s playing his guitar! They’re getting married!

MICHELLE:She’s his tech-

LEANA:His tech? That’s allowed, if she wasn’t though…

MICHELLE:Totally rebound!

LEANA:She better not rebound near my Rampant.

MICHELLE:If she so much as flutters her eyelashes at my Brian, I’ll rip her head off her shoulders and vomit down her windpipe!

LEANA:Ouch.

MICHELLE:Sorry – I just needed to get that out.

LEANA:Oh look, Val. She’s rebounding on Matt.

Cassy is handing Matt his mic stand, laughing at him because he couldn’t remember where he left it.

VAL:If she flirts with my Matt, I’ll superglue her vagina shut!

Val stands.

VAL:I’m going to get Johnny his hair gel.

Michelle and Leana watch Val leave, when she’s gone, Leana and Michelle turn to each other.

LEANA:Remind me to never flirt with Matt.

They both turn to look at the stage. Jimmy, Brian and Matt are having the website interview.

MICHELLE:Ditto that!
