June 22nd, 2009
Beginning: a group of CT fans are staying the night at a hotel and are headed down to the pool to wind down after an amazing concert.
They are quite shocked to learn that their favorite group, CELTIC THUNDER is staying at the same hotel. How do they come to this realization, you may ask? Well, it¡¦s kind of obvious when the lads walk through the door to the pool area! The ladies are all shocked, completely speechless. They just sit in the hot tub at an utter loss for words.
George comes in first with his towel folded over his arm. Keith has his rolled up and gently wrapped around his neck, and he¡¦s holding the ends. Damian comes in next with his wrapped around his shoulders, shying as he sees all the women in the pool. Paul and Ryan have theirs over their shoulders, but on the way in they are trying to snap Damian in the butt with theirs.
They get in the pool and start splashing water at each other. And then one of them, Paul, decides to come sit with us ladies in the hot tub. The rest of them find this to be great fun, and follow promptly on his heels.
So the order, going around the hot tub is Damian, AM, Ryan, SLK, Paul, ccone, Keith, Katie, and George.
Ccone is overwhelmed, and excuses herself to get a drink. She comes back slightly more calm, but still very red in the face.
The ladies sit and chat with the lads about their music, carefully skootching closer when they can, and of course flirting shamelessly. We listen to them chat about the tour and make jokes at each other¡¦s expense.
I(AM) look at SLK and Katie, and as a group we ladies hop out and run squealing over to the pool, where we all cannonball in, trying to splash the lads. Ccone is left with the lads, as she didn¡¦t catch what we were planning. She was too flustered. The ladies wait to see if the lads come after us, which of course, they can¡¦t resist! Except Keith, who stays with ccone.
After a quick dip in the pool, George decides to go call his family back home, and then hit the hay. He excuses himself, and leaves.
The lads start challenging each other to races across the pool. The ladies are all sitting on the side, cheering on their favorites. I can¡¦t stand sitting around, so I(AM) challenge SLK, and announce the prize as a hug from Ryan.
She(SLK) of course wins, and I(AM) get way too excited. I start laughing, promptly bringing on an asthma attack. The lads all look very concerned, but I hop out quickly and grab my inhaler. Damian follows being the closest, and the rest are all occupied by their respective ladies. I laugh it off, and smile at Damian, then run past him and jump back into the pool.
So Ryan gives SLK a hug, and they sit on the edge of the pool to chat. Katie comes to sit on his other side, legs touching just slightly, and as he jokes he nudges Katie¡¦s knee with his playfully, knowing she sought him out specifically.
Then Keith comes over and asks Katie if she¡¦d like to come and sit in the hot tub with himself and ccone. He noticed her because she was wearing board shorts (ƒº). Now he has two lovely ladies all to himself. BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!
Paul has been quietly swimming by himself, but he won¡¦t let Keith have two ladies when he has none, because his gentlemanly side won¡¦t let one lady get less attention than the rest of them. He runs over and cannon-balls into the pool. After he has everyone¡¦s attention, he gets out, casually strolls over, and gives Katie a peck on the cheek. Then he runs away to the other side of the poolroom. Katie follows quickly, and shoves him into the pool, then jumps in after him.
So myself (AM) and Damian are chilling in the shallow end, because he¡¦s concerned I¡¦ll have another asthma attack. SLK is sitting on the edge with her ankles crossed, hands together in her lap. Ryan is leaning back with his weight on his hands, one arm strategically crossing behind SLK, so if she leaned back she would touch his arm. Crafty Ryan. It¡¦s okay, SLk doesn¡¦t mind in the least.
Katie and Paul are lazily swimming and chatting in the deep end when Cheryl comes in, late. She scopes out the scene very quickly, and inserts herself playfully into Paul and Katie¡¦s conversation, by splashing them as she jumps in.
Ccone is giggling like a school girl as Keith tells her a funny story over in the hot tub. Katie and Paul get out and he drapes a towel over her shoulders. He puts one hand on the small of her back as her guides her gently to sit on the side opposite SLK and Ryan. Cheryl lazily swims back and forth in front of them, which poor Paul can¡¦t help but to watch admiringly.
Keith decides to hop in the pool to work off some pent up energy and ccone follows him (of course). She matches him lap for lap, swimming in companionable silence.
June 24th, 2009„³ The chance Pool Party is continued!
The lads are enjoying their time winding down with these shockingly relaxed fans. But all good things must come to an end, and this fun party is crashed when the clock strikes 11. At 11pm sharp, the hotel¡¦s manager comes in to shut down the pool area, and firmly orders all guests to exit the pool, posthaste. As the lads grab heave their tired bodies out of the pools, the ladies stand in the shallow end, completely transfixed. The manager starts to yell, and the girls snap out of it, running to grab their towels.
Upon exiting the pool room, they all wave to each other, and the ladies give out hugs to their respective favorites. They part ways reluctantly in the hall, the lads heading toward the elevator, which is too small to fit everyone. Damian and AM are the last ones to reach the elevator, just as the doors close. He shrugs, and gestures toward the stairs. AM nods and begins trekking up the staircase.
At the top, they both pause awkwardly, and Damian dips down to give AM a quick hug. She smiles, says goodbye, and turns left down the hall toward room 102. AM hears quick footsteps behind her, and then Damian catches her arm. ¡§Um, sorry, but, you staying on this floor?¡¨ he asks, his forehead crinkling just slightly. ¡§Yeah, just down that way.¡¨ He smiles a bit, blushing slightly, ¡§Oh, well, it¡¦s just¡K We¡¦re just down there¡K¡¨ he says pointing at the wet trail on the rug that leads to room 114. ¡§Anyway, ¡¥night.¡¨ She stammers, as she walks away down the hall.
AM slams the door to the ladies room, and jumps on the bed, burying her head in a pillow, and screams as hard as she can. She looks up slowly to see ccone, SLK and Katie staring at her in shock. On the other bed, Alanna (thethunderroar) sits up and stares at her past the cold compress on her eyes. ¡§AM, you okay?¡¨ Alanna asks warily. ¡§Yeah, I¡¦m alright¡K Or I think I will be in a minute.¡¨ Thundergirl pops out of the bathroom, where she had been preparing another compress for Alanna¡¦s eyes.
With all of their eyes boring holes in her, AM giggles and stuffs her head under the pillow. Once she has herself under control, she sits up again, patting her hair down primly while clasping the pillow to her chest with her other hand. ¡§Ladies, I need someone to come with me to get a drink from the machines. When I get back, I¡¦ll tell you what happened while I was walking upstairs.¡¨ All of the girls assume that she and Damian kissed, so the only one interested in walking with her is thundergirl, who happens to adore him. First AM insists on changing into dry PJ¡¦s, and they set out, wallets in hand.
On the way down the hall, AM looks pointedly at thundergirl, then carefully puts her finger to her lips, and points to the wet trail on the rug that leads away from the elevator. Thundergirl lets out a small squeal before AM manages to clap a hand over her mouth. Turning thundergirl to face her, AM waggles her eyebrows and grins, then silently pulls her along past the lads room, toward the vending machines. They get their drinks, which loudly clatter down and land in the base. They turn to make their way back and thundergirl pulls up short, causing AM to bump into her, because although AM is taller, she was trying to get her soda can open.
Looking up to see why thundergirl stopped, AM sees Ryan leaning his arm against the wall, standing kinda tilted diagonally(\). AM¡¦s jaw drops at the sight of Ryan in shorts and a tight gray shirt, and no shoes. He casually strolls past them, and they turn slowly to follow as he passes. They recover quickly, and AM gives thundergirl a tiny shove to get her moving. Thundergirl doesn¡¦t budge so AM steps past her, grabs her arm, and tugs her forward. So, faces burning a bright cherry red, they turn the corner to head back to their room.
But AM is still looking at thundergirl, and fails to see Keith standing on the other side of the wall. She walks straight into Keith, but he catches her around the waist to keep her from falling, and sets her steadily back on her feet. She mumbles an apology, and prepares to leave. Just then Paul pops out of the room, followed by Damian who catches the door as Paul lets it swing back toward his face. Paul walks past AM, snagging her soda as he passes, and salutes her with the can as he heads toward the stairs. Damian just stops and smiles at AM.
Then Damian notices thundergirl peering over AM¡¦s shoulder, and says ¡§Well? You going to introduce me to your friend¡¨, and winks at thundergirl. AM gives introductions, and Damian steps up to shake thundergirls¡¦ hand. Then, seeing that she won¡¦t look him in the eyes, pulls her into a tight hug. He then hugs AM, and AM drags thundergirl off down the hall. One of the lads chuckles behind them as a soda can hisses open. AM is too embarrassed to turn and look, but thundergirl openly gapes behind her.
As AM struggles to dig the keycard out, thundergirl clutches at her arm and whispers rather loudly ¡§Hey, Ryan chuckled at me! And, and they¡¦re all still watching us!¡¨ AM gets the key out, and jams it into the electronic lock. It doesn¡¦t work, because she did it too fast. She slows down and does it again, glancing to the side to see if the lads noticed. Ryan is staring, his eyes twinkling with mirth. Damian gives her a sympathetic look. Keith and Paul are leaning on opposite walls, casually looking in the girls¡¦ direction. Paul takes a long slow sip of AM¡¦s soda, never taking his eyes off them.
AM whips the door open and pulls thundergirl quickly through, just as thundergirl is attempting to wave at the lads. She closes the door firmly and continues dragging thundergirl into the room, disengages her from her arm, then plops her on the bed. Again, all the other ladies are looking at them expectantly. AM just looks at them with a glazed expression, so SLK says, ¡§Well? Where¡¦s your soda?¡¨ AM and thundergirl just look at each other and start laughing wildly.
AM manages to gasp out the words, ¡§Paul. Stole. My. Soda.¡¨ Ccone pops out of the bathroom and shouts ¡§Pauw wah ih dah hauway?¡¨ past the toothbrush that dangles precariously from her mouth. AM just nods and jumps on thundergirl on the bed, hugging her tightly, and rolls off the bed, letting go so that thundergirl isn¡¦t pulled with her. Her back slams into the floor but she¡¦s still smiling, and when she opens her eyes, everyone is grinning back at her.
¡§Well¡K is anyone else in the hall with Paul?¡¨ says SLK, grinning even more broadly as she catches her own accidental rhyme. Thundergirl sits up and smiles, ¡§Yep, all but George were out in the hall when we were walking back!¡¨ SLK rushes to the door, takes a deep breath, and gently eases it open a crack with her eye pressed to the opening. She gasps, pulls back quickly and pushes the door closed. ¡§They¡¦re still out there.¡¨ She announces.
Easing the door back open, SLK peaks out again, then slowly lifts her head and looks at the other ladies. ¡§Ryan just waved at me. I think I¡¦m hallucinating.¡¨ She peers out once more, and then shuts it again. ¡§I¡¦m going out there. Ryan just beckoned me. I can¡¦t resist the beckoning! How do I look AM?¡¨ ¡§You look fine SLK, if he waved, then what are you doing standing here!?!¡¨ SLK¡¦s eyes widen and she just opens the door and steps out into the hallway.
The girls wait patiently in the room. Thundergirl starts squirming, so AM throws a pillow at her. Thundergirl throws it back even harder. Just then, SLK opens the door and strolls in. ¡§Well, aren¡¦t any of you going to keep me company in the hall? Or do I have to keep the attention of these four amazing men all by myself?¡¨ At her words all the ladies jump up and proceed toward the door. AM decides that she is going to buy another soda, and picks up her wallet. She leaves the room last, closing the door carefully so that it doesn¡¦t quite shut. AM is determined to keep this soda, and she mentally prepares herself.
SLK is leaning against the wall chatting with Ryan. His left arm is casually stretched over her head, holding his weight against the wall as he listens to her talk. Damian is shyly talking to thundergirl, so they¡¦re getting in about 5 words every minute. Ccone and Keith are animatedly talking about surf conditions on the west coast, Alanna is politely listening and adding comments every once in awhile. Keith was happy to be introduced to another of the girls¡¦ friends. Paul and Katie are talking about his hair, and he gestures something about his head while holding the near-empty soda can. He spots AM and shakes the can, sloshing the small amount of liquid tauntingly. AM rolls her eyes and makes her way down the hall, twining between people on her way to the vending machines.
After getting two cans of soda, AM pops one in her pocket and starts herding the girls back to their room one at a time. Hugs are exchanged, and AM¡¦s shepherd-dog routine begins to have some effect. Eventually all the girls are walking back toward the room, turning around and waving periodically. AM walks straight up to Paul and hands him the can of soda, then pulls the second out of her pocket, pops it open, and walks off down the hall. The lads all head off to bed, and are gone before the ladies even get up in the morning. The ladies are disappointed, but they also have the warm, pleasant memories that they can cherish for the rest of their lives.
The day after they all return home, they all sign in to the pub to talk about what happened. Meagan is absolutely entranced by the stories she hears, and just reads their posts for the next 2 hours. She can¡¦t believe she missed that! If only she could have booked a room at the same hotel! Instead she has to listen to all the ladies talk about what happened¡K and dream that maybe she¡¦ll be that lucky, someday!
TAH-DAH! All dones for now! Maybe I¡¦ll think of more later!
