So, I decided to write a Colm one shot, hope you all enjoy!!!!
Colm was waiting in the wings with the other lads, they were about to head onstage for "7 Drunken Nights" as soon as Emmet finished one of his solos.
He was determined not to mess up again, the last show he had messed up by not remembering to stay onstage for "Danny boy."
The fans had been great about it, tweeting at him how it was fine and how they loved a little mess up every now and then to keep it fresh.
It was all fine and good in their view, he thought to himself, it was a little different getting slagged by the other lads for messing up in person.
"Hey Colm, remember not ta walk out the other end of the stage before we start the song, " Keith said with a mischevious grin and wink right before they headed onstage.
Colm barely had a chance to send a glare at Keith's back before he took a deep breath and walked onstage.
Sometimes he wished that he might actually set Keith shirt on fire by just flaming eyes, as that would be amusing to watch, and the need to douse him in water the next second was doubly fun to think of.
The song started out great, verses and words flowing naturally and without thought for all of that lads as they sang and slagged each other during the song.
When it got to his solo verse of the song things started going a little wacky.
Colm sang without even thinking and all of the sudden he heard, "I saw two shoes beneath the bed......where my old shoes should be...." come out of his own mouth.
He blushed beet red when he realized what he had done, and avoided making eye contact with any of the lads as he would burst out laughing and be unable to sing one more note.
Luckily the other lads took it all in stride and they managed to finish the song with no more mishaps or obvious mess ups.
"Where in the world did ya get a pair of shoes from?" Keith demanded with a huge grin on his face as they all finally ended up backstage.
"Maybe it was a pair of yours," Colm muttered back, not believing he messed up like that, he knew he would not hear the end of this one either.
"Now Keith, ya know that your bright converse sittin right by the edge of the stage here can have a blinding and lyric wiping effect on anyone, " George commented with a wink at Colm.
Colm smiled gratefully at him, George always found a way to turn the joke on someone in any situation.
"I'm surprised that ya haven't gone off leaving a cow in front of the house instead of a horse by now Keith with how drunk ya are supposed ta be," Neil added.
"I'll do that if Emmet here will leave a bathrobe instead of a coat behind the door," Keith said with a grin.
"Only if Neil will finally get up enough coins and gumption to call his own wife instead of letting you!" Emmet replied getting in on the fun.
"I think that Neil should just take his bubble pipe and go and blow it while sitting on top of Keith's cow," Colm said with a laugh.
"Maybe George here should get a wig, or a mop to put on his bald head...." mused Emmet cheekily.
"Only if it is surfer dude blonde like Keith's here," George said with a twinkle in his eye, "Then I will get off Scot free and Keith can take the blame."
"Hey, why am I the one getting picked on?" Keith demanded.
"You're not the one stuck riding a black and white cow," Neil countered.
"Who said you could ride off on my cow???" Keith said sternly, "I only lend it out to my best mates, it doesn't have Dublin plates on it."
"Good grief," muttered George, "What would Sharon say if she heard how you were all plannin ta change the song around on her."
A stern voice behind them sounded making them all straighten up and become serious, as they all had ended up in one form of laughter and amusement or another.
"I think that I will have you all locked up and throw away the key," Sharon said with her arms crossed and tapping her foot sternly.
"Colm started it with his shoes," Keith said pointing a finger at the still amused Colm.
"I heard about Colm's shoes, " Sharon countered, "Now shape up all of you or I may use that shoes to give your behinds a proper lesson."
"Yes Sharon" they all said meekly as she walked away.
Sharon couldn't help smiling in amusement once she turned her back though, she didn't think the lads would ever quite grow out of their mountains out of molehills stage.
Or in this case it was a small matter of going from cowboy boots to sneakers.
The End.
