It was the night before the concert. Thunder Girl (TH), Heather Jane (HJ), Catherin H (CH), Meagan and American Mutt (AM) were meeting face to face for the first time. All had agreed on going to one the Seattle Starbucks. Being great friends, HJ and CH arrived together, they were the first. Pulling three tables together, they sat down and excitedly watched the door. Then came TH and Meagan and right behind them was AM. Seeing the Pub name tags, all the girls rushed over to HJ and CH’s table. Instantly they began to chatter. It was very noisy until TH stood and yelled “Hold on one sec!!!!!” all was quiet. “Now that we’re all here let’s order drinks, then we can talk about…”she held a dramatic pause “CELTIC THUNDER!!!”
There was major scrambling as the fans swarmed the counter and quickly ordered drinks, then impatiently waited for them in line. When everyone sat down the CT conversation began. Fist they all started swooning when HJ mentioned the new and improved version of A Bird without Wings. Then AM started teasing TG and HJ about Damian’s outfit for Breaking up is hard to do. TG almost died when AM mentioned him singing Happy Birthday Sweet 16 just for her. TG swooned so far back that she landed in Meagan’s lap. In doing this TG’s hot latte was spilled all over her. As she ran frantically to get napkins the table erupted with laughter.
TG’s jeans were now brown; her red t- shirt was soaked. CH, feeling guilty, offered TG her jacket. Throwing the wet napkins in the garbage, she thanked CH for the jacket and began to put it on. Then the group of pub girl heard the door bell ring as a customer walked in. AM froze in mid laugh, Meagan’ jaw dropped, HJ stopped trying to ring the liquid from TG’s shirt and once again, TG was drenched in coffee as CH spit out a rather large mouthful. Only this time it was Mocha that drenched the front of TG’s borrowed jacket. “What?” TG asked still facing them. “What is it?” “It’s, it’s.”Meagan mumbled. Slowly TG started to turn.
“I’d like a vente latte…no foam, please.” A young tenor sounding muttered sleepily. TG’s eyes closed as she turned the last bit towards the counter, and then slowly opened them to see Paul Byrom standing in by the pick up counter. A little shriek escaped TG’s lips. Then all eyes widened, jaws dropped and drool flowed as Ryan Kelly and George Donaldson stepped through the door, then Keith Harrkin. HJ recovered and saw TG still standing were she had been drenched in coffee. She knew who was coming next and before she could snag TG’s dripping shirt to sit her down, he came in. Damian McGintty walked through the door.
As soon as he did Meagan nearly hyperventilated to the point that DB asked if she needed a paper bag. TG was still standing there rather in shock. While the rest of the thunderheads laughed like gitty school girls. By now the other guys had gotten their drinks and had noticed the group of fawning girls. Paul through winks at them while Keith tried to straighten his bed head, casually of course and Ryan and George smiled sweetly and drank their coffee and all four had seen TG. TG gained consciousness and scrambled in the seat next to HJ. They both excitedly mumbled to each other “It’s Damian, Oh my gosh!!!” Then both looked down at TG’s clothes and started squeezing and dabbling at them, trying to make them look better, if it was possible. Angry mumbles might have escaped TG’s lips during this time. All the other girls were over by the other four getting pictures and getting things signed.
Damian however, continued to the counter looking at the two of us once all the while. It’s no use; there is no way to hide the coffee stains. HJ is still thinking of ways to conceal the ugly brown when TG grabs her hand and, attempting to look casual, whispers under her breath “He’s coming, what do I do?” HJ whipped around, indeed he was coming. His blue eyes were scanning the two of them. “Ummm, Ummmm.” HJ tried to think. “To late.” TG whispered as she pulled HJ in front of herself.
“Hey girls, what’s up?”Damian asked. He looked curiously at TG’s fidgeting. “I noticed you weren’t with the rest of the group. Is everything OK?” HJ and TG looked at each other in amazement. The same thing was going through both their heads, “What do I say that won’t make TG embarrassed?”With teeth chattering, the ac finally started to get through the wet material she was wearing, TG managed to say “Oh no, we’re fine!!” “You look freezing, do you need to borrow my coat?” he looked away for a minute as if something had just accrued to him. “If you don’t know me, I’m Damian McGintty.” He reached his hand out to HJ, who took it and just starred, then offered it to TG, who also took it and wouldn’t let go for an awkward amount of time. Neither girl said a thing. “It accrued to me that not everyone would know about my little group and there for would not except my coat, but before I go further, do you know of Celtic Thunder?” he questioned innocently. Both girls jumped up, “Yes we know of you!!!”HJ said. “Know of you, we know all about you!!!”TG said as if finishing HJ’s sentence.
“Great! Then will you please put on this coat before you freeze!?” he took his jacket off with out waiting for an answer and handed it to TG. When she just stared at it, he took it back and put it on her himself. The whole time the girl’s mouths were open and members of our group were returning, along with some of the boys, to see what all the yammering was about.
As everyone came to the table with questioning looks, Damian politely introduced HJ and TG to the other guys. “Hey, guys. This is HJ and TG. Their going to our concert, isn’t that great?!”He said. “From what I hear, almost everyone in this shop is going to our concert! It’s great.” Ryan stated. “Yes, I mean who wouldn’t want to see us live in concert, especially me?!” Paul jokes, making all the girls laugh. George smiled and rolled his eyes. “Nice to meet you, ladies.” He said, extended his hand. Both girls took it and grinned back. Teasingly, Keith cut in front of George and said “Ahoy there, how are you two this fine night?” and winked. All the girls giggled. HJ replied “We’re just fine except for TG who is a little wet.” She finished with a smile and a smack on the leg from TG.
Keith eyed TG curiously. “Isn’t that Damian’s coat?” he questioned. “Oh, yes it is. I noticed she was cold, and me being the gentleman I am, I offered her my coat.” Damian grinned sweetly. “Ahhh, I see.” Keith said, still not looking to sure. TG attempted to change the subject, she looked around for Meagan. She saw her huddled by AM staring at Damian. TG whispered to CH, who then pulled Meagan over to where Damian and TG were standing. Meagan began to blush the shade of a rose. “This is Meagan, she is a big fan of yours Damian” TG introduced. “Well hello Meagan” Damian greeted, pulling her into a hug. Meagan just about fainted right then and there. If CH and TG hadn’t been standing behind her, she would have fallen backwards!
