Misty blinked.“Well yeah ... but...”“Give them a try,” said Bobby. “Amanda wouldn’t have lined them up if they weren’t any good. Trust m... on that.”Misty simply stepped up to a mike, turned around, gave them a title and stamped her foot four times. She intended to leave these yokels in the dust. She had intended to play solo, and didn’t need any amateurs making her sound provincial.The first thing that amazed her was that the four musicians knew her music already. They had what seemed like reams. A pair of young, pony-sized, gold dragons seemed to be in Dark Rose's care. The little golds like to play on the roads the mercenary army needed to use. Stopping the Bandit's attempt to unify Mai might have made the other Guo nations desperate enough to attack if only the golds were trying to slow them down. Dark Rose, the golds, and the golds' mother, who couldn't be far, was too large a butchering if the army managed to win through. The dragons and dwarves of Mai would fall upon the army like. Me? Well, that would be telling, but I took a tent and went somewhere I couldn't even get a radio signal. And I got there by bus, too – so no excess carbon footprint on my conscience, either.But all of us, I'm sure, just got on with our lives. I mean, what's done is done and all that, yeah?Polly the PoolNext morning, I was up about 5am. Not a lot of sleep – I'd got home not four hours before – but, then, I never really expected to sleep at this stage and we were all, frankly, expecting public. Mujhe kya pata tha wo din meri life ka sabse yaadgar din hoga. Main ek choti si company me job kar rhi thi. Meri pehli job thi wo. And mera boss kuch 32 saal ka mujh tha. Wo mujhe bahot chahta tha. Usne mujhe kai baar bataya tha but mujhe usme interest nahi tha. Wo ek divorcee tha. Meri birthday k din usne mujhse bahar jaane ke liye pucha. Mera koi khas plan nahi tha to maine bhi haan kar diya. Usne kaha ki usne mere liye kuch special plan kiya hai. Main khush ho gai. Office ke baad hum dono.
