Amy was busy at work with her friend Amanda in the kitchen of one of the local nursing homes. "Girl, we need to find a new job," says Amy. "Yeah, no kidding. But at least I'm working with you tonight, you always crack me up," states Amanda. "Yeah, you just like telling little old ladies that I have crushes on their grandsons," laughs Amy. "You have to believe me, I never thought that she would remember that," replys Amanda. "I know, i just like giving ya crap about it," Amy laughs. "Oh, aren't you sweet," comments Amanda. "Hey you asked for it girl," replys Amy. "Alright, truce," asks Amanda extending her hand. "Truce, now unfortunately lets get back to work," replys Amy. The girls head back into the kitchen about 20 minutes later a very tall dark haired boy around 17 years old entered the door. "Excuse me miss, is Amy here tonight?" he asks. "Sure, just a second," grins Amanda, walking towards the back. "Uh Amy, there's a gorgeous guy waiting for you up front," says Amanda. ok let me know if you want more

"Amanda, what are you talking about," questions Amy.
"There is this gorgeous guy up front asking to see you, although I can barely understand him," continues Amanda. She pulls Amy up front to the counter, "See, I told ya" she adds.
"Damian hey, what are you doing here," inquires Amy giving him a hug.
"Hi Amy, we were in around St. Louis and remembered that you lived around here, so we decided to come and visit," he replys.
"Wait, we. Who all is we," asks Amy.
"Well, there's Ryan, Keith, George and me," answers Damian.
"So in other words just about everyone," she laughs.
"Yeah, i guess so," he agrees.
"Well I get off in like 15 miniutes so if you just want to hang out either up here or out in the dining room feel free," says Amy walking in back.

In back waiting the last 5 minutes to get off, wich seem to take forever, Amanda ask Amy how she met who she now knew as Damian. "Well remember me talking about Celtic Thunder and my hot Irish guys," Amanda nods and lets Amy continue, "I actually went on vacation over to Ireland last fall and happened to meet Damian and the rest of the guys," she adds.
"That is so cool, you think i could go with you and meet these guys," asks Amanda.
"Sure, oh thank god time to clock out," comments Amy. The girls walk up front where Amy is basicly tackled with hugs from Ryan and Keith. "Nice to see you guys again too," she says walking over to George and recieve one of his famous hugs. "Lads, I'd like you to meet my friend Amanda. Amanda, some of the guys of Celtic Thunder; Ryan Kelly, George Donaldson, Keith Harkin, and Damian McGinty," she introduces.
"Nice you meet you all," replys Amanda
"Lovely to meet you as well Amanda," the lads say. "So Amy, what's the craic?" adds Keith.
"Absolutly nothing Keith, major borefest here, that is untill you all showed up," grins Amy.
"Well, we are definately going to have to change that, tonight you girls are coming with us," comments Ryan.
Amy looks over toward Amanda, they both nod in agreement, "Sounds like a plan lads, let us change first and we'll be ready" says Amy. The girls take all of about 10 minutes to change and meet up with the guys. "Alright guys where too," she asks.
"You're the one that's from around here, what is there to do," inquires Damian.
"Hmmm let me think, nothing," she anwers.
"Well that's not quite true, tonight is the start of Mayfest," replys Amanda.
"That sounds good enough to me, let's go," says Ryan. The group of them are off to Mayfest, while George is back to the hotel to call Carrie.
"Well guys here we are, no clue where you guys want to go," replys Amy. "There's a little carvival set up down the street along with a street dance right up from there," she adds. It doesn't take long Damian drags Amanda to the carnival leaving Amy alone with Ryan and Keith, while Amy is trying to avoid seeing anyone from work. The three go and grab some drinks and food and listen to the very unique band playing.

"Amy," she hears from behind her.
"Amanda, jeeze, don't sneek up on me like that," Amy replys.
"Sorry, but come here for a sec,"states Amanda.
"What's up," asks Amy.
"First off let me just say, these guys are totally hot and seccond, I kinda want to hang out with Ryan if you don't mind," Amanda replys.
"Amanda, not a problem,"she answers.
"Awesome, cause Damian mentioned that Ryan seemed to like me," comments Amanda.
"Oh really, sounds like fun," says Amy.
"I hope so," Amanda replys, "k ready to head back," she adds. They head back to where the lads are sitting.
"Welcome back lasses, Amy what are you doing tomorrow?" says Keith.
"Nothing that I know of why?" she asks.
"Well my cousin Meagan is flying in, I was wondering if we could pick her up at the airport," he replys.
"Sure, not a problem. I have a great idea, we'll all make a day of it and stay in the city, cause there is no way in heck that I'm letting you all stay here around my parents," says Amys.

alrighty here's another update 4 ya. Thanks for the comments.
"Why what's wrong being around your parents," asks Amanda. Amy just glares at her.
"No matter what, they'll embarass me," comments Amy.
"Awe come on Amy," says Keith, "We're bound to run into them here anyhow," he continues. Amy just blushes and right on cue, her dad shows up along with some of the other police officers, they all give her hugs and she introduces everyone.
"Wow, Amy you seem to be quite popular here," says Ryan.
"Well, that's the price you pay being the assistant chiefs daughter," Amy replys.
"You do have a point with that," answers Keith. "Well I guess should we get going since we have young ones with us," he adds, Damian and Amanda both scowl at him.
"Good point Keith, plus I have to figure out plans to do while we're up getting your cousin," states Amy.
"Untill tomorrow then lasses," Keith says giving Amy a little kiss on the cheek, Amy blushes. "Ah Amy, you are so adorable when ye blush," he adds.
"Night lads, see you in the morning," smiles Amy.
"Good night Amanda," says Ryan kissing her hand.
The girls arrive where the lads are staying, walking into the lobby the see Ryan just leaving the hotel's gym, "Ryan hey are the other guys ready," asks Amanda.
"Moring girls, i'm not sure. Right as i was leaving I thought I heard one of the guys get up. It might be a wee bit, would ye two like to come up," asks Ryan. Amy and Amanda both look at each other obviously having the same thought.
"Sure," the follow Ryan to the hotel room. While waiting for everyone to get ready the girls talk to George and Damian.
Keith apparently just out of the shower drying his hair "Hey lasses, you're early," he states.
"Uh Keith it's 10:30," we're actually a little late," says Amy looking at the clock.
"Oh, guess I must have slept in," he replys. "Ryan why didn't you tell me the time when you left," he adds.
"Sorry mate, I figured you could read a clock," teases Ryan.

"Ok, i'm so not sitting next to Ryan on the way up," states Keith.
"Ah, come on I was only slaggin ya keith," Ryan replys.
"Lads, behave, first come first serve. Whoever gets to the passenger seat first gets it," says Amy.
The guys race to the car to see who can claim front seat, still getting used to being back in America and the steering wheel on the opposite side of the car Keith and Ryan attempt to get in the drivers side, while Damian is sitting up front on the correct side. "Guys I think you're on the wrong side," comments Amanda. The guys look over at Damian who is hunched over in his seat laughing.
"Looks like you to get the back," says Amy. "Amanda I hope you can keep those two in line back there," she adds. Amy starts her car, forgetting what CD she had playing Heartbreaker comes through the speakers, right at 'welcome to the pleasure dome'. Amy just shakes her head in embarrassment especially with Keith and Ryan laughing uncontrollably behind her, she imediately ejected the CD and let the radio play.
"So what did you plan for today," asks Damian.
"We thought about going to the arch or the zoo," Amy answers.
"Oo, lets go to the zoo, that way we can leave Ryan with the monkeys," jokes Keith.
"I thought I told you two to behave," says Amy.
"But he started it," replys Keith.
"Amy how much longer," asks Amanda not knowing how much longer she can have Ryan and Keith behave. "We're here," answers Amy pulling up in front of the airport.

"Thank God," says Amanda hopping out of the vehicle.
"Honestly we weren't that bad, were we," asks Ryan.
"I guess not, had to pick on you somewhat though," she jokes.
They see a girl walking out of the terminal who is around 16 years old with her bags in hand with dublin airport luggage tags they take this to be Keiths cousin. "Keith", she says coming up and giving him a hug.
"Meagan, how are you?" asks Keith. "You remember the lads," he continues.
"I'm good. Of course i remember the lads, Ryan, Damian how are you both," she answers.
"We're good, enjoying a day off," says Damian.
"Meagan, I'd like you to meet some friends, this is Amy and Amanda," says Keith.
Amy, Amanda, hi nice to meet you," replys Meagan.
"Nice to meet you as well, well shall we get your bags to the car and have some entertainment," says Amy.
"What, you don't call the Keith and Ryan escapade earlier entertainment," asks Damian.
"True Damian, you have a point," Amy comments. "Ok, we are going to try this again, whoever get to the front first," she adds, and before she can finish Keith and Ryan are racing again, this time Keith actually wins.
"Ok, so where to first," Everyone asks. With Meagan and Damian in back, Ryan and Amanda in the middle behind Keith and Amy and in front of Meagan and Damo.
"Zoo," says Keith.
"Arch," state Ryan, Damian, and Amanda.
"Sorry Keith looks like the Arch first, and it should be a gorgeous view with the sun out," comments Amy. They make their way to downtown St. Louis by the river front wait in line and make there way to the top of the arch and look out the windows.
"I'm getting hungry, Amy what's for lunch," asks Damian. "Who's up for Italian," asks Amy, everyone raises their hand. "Then Zia's it is," she adds as the go to the car and drive to the Italian section of town, The Hill.

"Ames, this place is great," says Keith.
"Thanks Keith, one of my favorite restraunts up here, next to the pubs of course,"she answers.
"Pubs?" Ryan asks.
"Yes pubs, there are several around at least 5," amy replys.
"Well I'd say we have tonight planned already then," states Keith.
After lunch at Zia's they make the way across town to visit the zoo, with thankfully another uneventfull car ride, with Meagan and Damian talking in back, catching up. Walking around the zoo they all take off in their seperate ways Amy and Keith go to the penguin exhibit, Meagan and Damian visit the lions and tigers, and Amanda and Ryan are off to see the bears. They all make there way around the zoo and decide to ride the train and make another quick loop. They also happen to visit the sea lion show and Ryan and Keith volunteer Damian to go up and help the host with a few tricks, and the lot of them get splashed as the sealions dive into the pool.
After the zoo excursion they find it time for supper, "Ok so I guess it's time to head to one of the pubs," says Amy, "Oh, wait there is this one shop that I want to stop by if you don't mind," she replys.
"Not at all, it's still early," says Keith. Amy parks outside a small shop, called O'Malley's. "Oh, and I see it's an Irish shop," he continues.
"Is there any other kind," laughs Amy. Everyone goes into the small shop. "Hey there John, how are ya?" Amy asks the owner.
"Amy, I'm good, it's good to see you again. I see you brought some friends along with you," John says.
"Yeah, this is my friend Amanda, and there is also Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, and Damian McGinty, as well as Keith's cousin Meagan," introduces Amy
"Nice to meet you all, can I get you all something to drink, I've got some soda you the young'un's, and some Guinness in back if you like," he says. Ryan and Keith's eye's light up at the mention of Guinness.
"John, i don't think that you'll have to mention Guinness twice for these guys to be in," Amy replys, "actually i think I'll take one as well," she adds. Looking through the shop Meagan and Damian are looking through the jewelery and nick-nacks with Amanda.

"So Meagan, how have you been lately," asks Damian. "It's been a while," he adds.
"I've been good, how about you?" says Meagan. "Been keeping busy from what I hear," she continues.
"Yeah, we're pretty busy lately," Damian replys.
"Oh, wow look at that," says Meagan looking at a shamrock necklace. With out Meagan knowing it Damian buys it as a surprise.
After finishing up at the shop everyone goes to McGurks pub, and makes their way to the back patio where they have live music every weekend. They have a seat and order their food and drinks, one of the bartenders recognizes the lads and asks if they wouldn't mind performing a few songs, the lads perform with pleasure. After the guys sing the band that started took over again, they asks the girls to dance. Damian takes Meagan by the hand and leads her onto the floor, Ryan does the same with Amanda and Keith with Amy. "I had a great time today Ryan," says Amanda.
"So did I Amanda, I'm glad that Amy introduced us," comments Ryan. Amanda smiles and blushes at his compliment.

"Keith thanks for all the fun tonight," says Amy.
"Well it was all your idea Ames," he replys.
"Ah, yes but it wouldn't have been any fun with out you and everyone else," comments Amy. As the evening comes to an end everyone gets back in the vehicle and head back to the hotel, everyone chatting among themselves. "Dang, Amanda you know what i just remembered," she says.
"What's that Aim," Amanda asks.
"We have to freaking work tomorrow," sighs Amy.
"Uh, you right we do," Amanda replys less than enthused. They arrive back at the hotel and tell the guys and Meagan bye. "That was great, i have never had so much fun," she adds a little bit more cheerful.
"Yeah, that was fun wasn't it," states Amy.
The next morning comes, both Amy and Amanda working the early morning shifts. They talk about the previous giving them energy to get through the day. It doesn't take long that they are back from taking break work is taking it toll driving them both insane and wanting to injure some of their co-workers.
"Amy can you come here for a second," one of her bosses said.
"Yes," Amy simply replys.
"There are 2 guys here for you and Amanda," her boss states.
Amy thinking that it couldn't possibly be who she thinks it is. She looks out the door and to her surprise and delight she sees two gorgeous men waiting just outside. Thankfully both Amy and Amanda are finished with their work a little early. Amy and Amanda have came up with a plan, time comes for their shifts to end and with out any hesitation they decided along with the lads that this would be their last shift. They had enough of the way that work was treating them.
"Well see ya all, we are out of here for good," both of the girs say, walking out arm in arm with Keith and Ryan.

"Wow, that felt good," says Amanda.
"Yeah, I never thought we'd be able to get out of there," replys Amy.
"Lasses we have a little surprise for you both," says Ryan.
"And what is that," asks Amanda.
"Well, these past few days have been great craic, and Ryan and I have decided that we want you to come with us when we go back to Ireland after the promo gigs," answers Keith.
"Guys, that is amazing," replys Amy. Amanda and Amy take almost no time in their decision about the lads proposition. "Of course we'd love to go back to Ireland with you," the girls say.
The next morning the lads are off on the rest of the promotion trip, with Keith's cousin Meagan joining them. One of the last cities on the trip Damian and Meagan go walking along the beach. "Meagan?" asks Damian.
"Yeah, Damian," she replys.
"Remember all the times that we used to play together when we were little," he questions, Meagan nods and lets him continue. "I've been thinking about those times and now that we've grown up, I was hoping that you might be my girlfriend and accept this," he says pulling the shamrock necklace, that he bought in St. Louis, out of his pocket.

"Damian, of course i'd be honored to be your girlfriend," Meagan replys. "I was hoping you would say that," he answers pulling her in for a kiss.
Finally the last day of the promo trip comes all the lads ready to get back home, but before the trip back home Ryan and Keith stop in St. Louis and make sure that Amy and Amanda are ready. The girls are all packed and everyone heads to the airport, "Good Lord Amy, what all did you pack, these bags weigh a ton, and do you think you have enough," laughs Keith.
"Wait, only half of those are mine and I don't know what i'll need," replys Amy. "Plus Amanda helped me out so it's not completely my fault," she laughs.
"You two do know we have shops in Ireland, you don't have to pack the entire closet," says Ryan.
"Trust us this is no where near the entire closet," comments Amanda

They board the plane and are on their way to Ireland, as they begin to decend Amy and Amanda look out the window over the beauiful coastline and bright green fields. "Wow, this place is beautiful," replys Amanda.
"It certainly is," replys Ryan. "Oh, and don't forget try not to sleep to help your bodies adjust to the time change. Plus Keith and I have a little something planned for tonight," he adds.
The girls go to their hotel room and end up falling asleep, Amy waking up to a text from Keith, 'figured you'd fall asleep so here's a wakeup text,' Amy just laughs looking at her phone and nudges Amanda awake, the girls get ready and fix their make up and hair. Looking through their suit cases they happen to find beautiful dresses, Amy has a adorable black spaghetti strap black dress with silver and green embishments and Amanda has a green dress with a swirl pattern.
"Amy, look at this," says Amanda holding up a note. Keith and Ryan planned this, i'm quite impressed," she comments.
"Those cheeky little... I do have to say they are quite good," Amy laughs.

Several minutes later there is a knock at the door, Amy goes to open it and Ryan and Keith are standing there. "Evening lasses, I see you found one of our little surprises for you," Ryan states.
"Yes Ryan we did," replys Amy. "I must say that you two have great taste, these dresses are beautiful," she adds.
"Ah, but not as beautiful as the lasses in them," smiles Keith. Amanda and Amy both blush and give shy smlies.
"So what did you two have planned exactly," asks Amanda.
"That's a surprise," mischeviously grins Keith.
They leave the hotel getting in Ryan's Land Rover and start driving, everyone talking having a great trip and Amy and Amanda admiring the gorgeous scenery of the Irish countryside, not paying attention how far they had driven they start to hear waves. "Wow guys the beach, this is awesome," says Amanda.
"Some reason this isn't that big surprise knowing whose back here," Amy says looking at Keith, he just grins.
They all head down to the beach, Keith carrying the picnic baskets they had prepared and Ryan with the rest of the set up. "Hope this works for ye lasses," say Keith and Ryan.
"Oh, this more than works guys," the girs agree.
They enjoy a lovely meal on the beach as the sun begins to set, Keith and Ryan head back to the land rover to get something. "Lasses we'll be right back," they relply. While the lads are away Amanda and Amy search for some branches and begin to build a little fire. Keith and Ryan return carrying their guitars, everyone enjoys a nice little sing song late into the night.

"Lads this was fantastic, thanks," says Amy.
"Our pleasure girls, consider it a welcome to Ireland gift," the guys say. They drive back to the girls hotel and drop the girls off and give them kisses good night walking them to their door.
The next morning arrives when they recieve a wake up call from Keith's cousin Meagan, "Hey girls do you two have anything to planned today?" she asks.
"I don't think so," replys Amy.
"Great, I'd love to get to know Keith's girl a wee bit more, you seemed like great craic when I met you in St. Louis and from what Keith has told me," says Meagan.
'Did she actually say what i think she said, Keith's girl, wow i never expected that, and he has talked about me,' Amy thinks to herself. "Meagan sure that sounds great we'll meet you at College Green in a bit," she replys.
"Grand, be there in about 20 minutes," Meagan answers.
