Boston, a beautiful city with a rich celtic heritage. That's what Amy loved about the city. Coming from a small rural town, she loved the big city life, it let her escape and be her own person, instead of having everyone know her and everything about her like where she grew up. Moving to Boston for college at Boston University, she majored in theater, something that she had always enjoyed ever since she was a todler, as she grew up dance became her specialty. Being in Boston she came across an add in a pub, for an open audition for a Celtics dancer, that she hang out in with her college pals. "Amy look, you should really try out," her friend Ccindy says.
"What, you think I'd be able to compete with those girls, guess there's no way of me talking you out of this is there," replys Amy.
"Of course, your great, and no. Perfect, the audition is tomorrow, great our day off, i'll drive you. Now I guess we better get back to the dorm so you can be ready for tomorrow," says Cindy.
That morning Cindy drives Amy down to the arena for the tryouts. "Thanks I'll call you and let you know how things go," replys Amy.
"Ok, sounds good talk to you later sweets, good luck" states Cindy.
Amy walks into the arena and looks at all the girls who are there to tryout. 'Wow, I hope I get a chance,' she thinks to herself. She does her routine, flawlessly. They call her to the side after all the girls had auditioned, to tell her that she is their new dancer. "CINDY!!!," Amy screams through her cell phone, "guess what," she adds.
"What, did you get it," Cindy asks.
"Yeah, you are talking to the newest member of the Celtics dancers," Amy replys.
"Amy that's awesome, congrats girl," says Cindy. She pulls up in front of the arena and the girls are off for a night of celebration.

Laurenne~ no, that's a different story, but somewhat the same begining.
Luckily that next morning she doesn't have rehersal, so the girls are off to class and do there normal day to day routine, only Cindy knowing that Amy is now a Celtics dancer. They finish all their classes and head back to the dorm room for a semi-late night study session, listening to Celtic Thunder Cindy being a huge fan. After a night of studying the girls are off to bed.
The next morning Amy arrives at the arena for her first rehersal. "Alright ladies, let's review what we have already learned for the new half time bit," says Lindsey. The girls run through the routine several times, Amy being a very fast learner has almost every move down pat. During a short break Amy hears noise coming from the stands. She looks around and sees 6 guys in one of the stand entrances.
"Ooo, what do you guys think about staying," says Paul.
"Why, we've been around this entire place already," says Damian.
"Because lad, look at that," he turns Damian's head and looks down toward the dancers.
"You two are so immure," replys Ryan, as he turns and makes eye contact with Amy. "Never mind, we'll stay," he adds, still having eye contact with Amy, something about her pulls him in. The girls go back to rehersing and the lads stay and watch. After practice, Amy comes out of the locker room and walks out on to the court, the lads still hanging around as well. "Lads I'll meet up with you later," coments Ryan making his way down the stairs.
"Can I help you," Amy asks.
"No i'm fine," says Ryan. "I was just walking around and noticed that you were practicing, you were great, he comments.
"Well thanks," says Amy.
"I'm sorry, the name's Ryan, by the way," he says extending his hand.
"Nice to meet you Ryan, I thought I was just going to have to refer to you as handsome stranger," she laughs, "I'm Amy, but that's to formal you can call me Aim or Ames, whatever you like," Amy adds.

"Lovely to meet you Aim," Ryan says.
"So, I take it your from Ireland by that beautiful accent," replys Amy.
"Yeah, county Tyrone. Have you ever been there?" asks Ryan.
"No, but I've always wanted visit been one of my dreams," she replys. "Sorry I have to rush off, but i have to meet a friend for lunch and then get ready for a concert," she adds.
"That's perfectly fine, is there a chance that I could see you again," says Ryan.
"How long are you in town for?" Amy asks.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow night," he answers.
"Well, I am off tomorrow. Here's my number, you can give me a call if you like," says Amy. They walk out of the arena and go their seperate ways. Amy meets her friend Cindy and they go out to lunch at a great little cafe. Ryan heads back to the hotel and meets up with the lads.
"So how was practice today," asks Cindy
"It was great, so much fun and there was this group of really hot guys that stayed and watched, there was this really, really hot one that stayed after and we talked for a little while," Amy replys.
"Oooo, what was his name, is he from Boston," asks an extremely excited Cindy.
"His name is Ryan, no not from Boston, from Ireland," answers Amy.
"What, from where in Ireland," Cindy continues.
"Tyrone, why," she asks.
"Cause, remember we listened to my Celtic Thunder CD's the other day, he's one of the guys from that," replys Cindy.
"Wait, you mean that concert that we're going to tonight?" Amy asks.
"Yep, and the tickets that I bought also come with meet and greets," Cindy answers. The girls finish lunch and are headed back home with a detour past the theater too see if the lads are out by chance. After the girls get to the house they fix their hair and put on makeup and pick out perfect outfits.
the Lads pov-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So Ryan, where have you been," asks Paul.
"I was talking to one of the dancers, that we were watching," he answers.
"Oh, which one that gorgeous blonde," replys Paul.
"No, the cute little brunette, with the amazing smile," says Ryan.
To be continued......

"Ah, I see. Yeah, she was kinda cute, what's her name." asks Paul.
"Her name's Amy," Ryan replys.
"And..., anything else you want to tell us about her," asks Keith.
"What?" ask Ryan innocently. "Fine, she's smart, has a great sense of humor, beautiful, blue/grey eyes that seem to pull you in," he trails off.
"Ok, I think we just lost Ryan," says Paul looking at Ryan who is in some sort of daydream phase. "Lad, it's almost show time let's get ready," he adds.
The lads get ready for the show and do work through the numbers, Ryan has his first solo song and catches a glimpse of Amy who is sitting in the front row. The second act is fantastic as usual, and the girls are ready for the meet and greet, which it just so happened to be Ryan's turn along with Damian.
"Ready girl," replys Cindy.
"Yeah, I still can't believe that I met Ryan and didn't recognize him or his voice," says Amy.
"Yeah, you lucky dog, and he has your number, wonder if he saw you in the crowd," comments Cindy.
"Oh, I think he did, he looked right at me when he sang 'Desperado'," says Amy. They make sure that they are at the back of the line for the M&G's so they can have a little extra time with the lads. Finally it's their turn, Damian and Cindy are talking and Ryan pulls Amy off to the side.
"I thought that was you in the front row, I didn't know you were going to be here," says Ryan.
'Well, I did tell you i was going to a concert tonight," says Amy.
"Yes, but you didn't say that you were coming to this one," he replys.
"You never asked," laughs Amy. "By the way, you all were fantastic," she adds.
"So while you here, did you think of something for tomorrow," asks Ryan.
"I thought I left that up to you, afer all you have my number, I don't have yours" she answers.
"Fine truce, but we can change that," Ryan says as he grabs his phone and texts her. "Now you do," he adds.
"Great. Now I guess when I have long boring nights I'll just give you a call," she says.
"Yep, and I'll be expecting some Celtics updates as well," laughs Ryan.
"A ha I knew there was an alterior motive," she giggles. "Well I guess we better be moving on, see you tomorrow," she adds.
"I guess so, I'll have to introduce you to the rest of the lads tomorrow, bye Aim," says Ryan walking out to the bus.
Amy and Cindy head back to their house and go to bed, Amy looking forward to her day with Ryan.

Thanks for everyone reading this, here's another update for ya.
Amy wakes up the next morning to her phone ringing, Amy stumbles across the room to find her phone. "Morning love," she hears on the other line with a very thick Irish accent.
"Morning Ryan, how are you," Amy replys.
"I'm good, ready for our day out," he asks.
"Yeah, what exactly do you have in mind," she answers.
"I'll let you know when I see you," he replys.
"Ok, where should I meet you at?" questions Amy.
"I'll meet you outside your apartment building," answers Ryan.
"Sounds great, wait, how do you know where I live," asks a confused Amy.
"I have my ways, their called Damian and Cindy," he answers. Amy looks over at Cindy with an evil look.
A little while later Ryan is at the front of their apartment. "Hey Ryan," says Amy.
"Hey Aim, do you happen to have your swim suit by chance," asks Ryan.
"No, but I can run back inside and grab it, why do I need my swim suit?" asks Amy not knowing what Ryan has planned.
"Just go with it, you'll see in a little," he replys. Amy heads back into the apartment and grabs her swim suit.
The two of them now off on their day of sightseeing. It being a beautiful September day, nice and warm, they take a walk around the bay, after walking a little while Ryan pulls Amy in close and takes her hand and continue hand in hand. Soon they see Amy's dance captain, Lindsey.
"Hi Amy, how's it going and who is this extremely handsome man that your with," she asks flirting like crazy.
"Hi Lindsey, this is Ryan," Amy replys as if talking to a brick wall.
"Well, hello Ryan," Lindsey continues inching closer. "Amy, you should really be carefull when you're hanging around town with another guy, what would you're boyfriend think," she continues.
"What do you mean my boyfriend," asks Amy.
"Trust me, he's fine with it," replys Ryan comming up with a little scheme.
"Oh, really. how do you know," asks Lindsey.
"Because, I'm right here," he states. Both girls look at him with shocked expressions on their face.

Lindsey continues on her way, rather disapointed. "What was that about," asks Amy.
"Well, she was kinda getting on my nerves and I liked my answer," grins Ryan. "And that was going to come up in conversation sooner or later anyway," he adds.
"HUH?" says Amy surprised.
"Yeah, I was going to ask you later on, but since she brought it up I figured why not," he replys.
"Really, you were going to ask me to be your girlfriend?" she asks.
"Yes I was, so now officialy. Would you be my girlfriend?" he questions.
"RYAN!!, Of course, i'd love to," answers Amy. They continue walking around the bay along the boardwalk, he's still holding her hand and bumps her as she falls into the water. "Ryan, what was that for," she asks.
"I just had to, now you know why I had you bring your swimsuit," laughs Ryan.
"Oh, Ryan, can you come here, I want to ask you something," says Amy. He leans over she grabs his arm and pulls him into the bay.
"Now why did you do that?" he asks.
"Felt the need, and you owed me," Amy laughs.

After a lttle frolicking in the water Amy and Ryan continue with their sightseeing. "Ryan, why do you have to leave tonight, I'm having such a great time," says Amy.
"I know Ames, it's been a great time," replys Ryan. "What time is it?" he adds.
"About 4:30 I think," Amy answers.
"Good, we still have some time then," he says.
"What time are you guys leaving," she asks.
"Supossed to be around 5:30 but knowing the lads I'd say a little later," comments Ryan. "I have a great idea, why don't you come with me back to the hotel and I can introduce you to the rest of the lads," he continues.
"Sounds great Ryan," says Amy as they walk back to the hotel.
They walk into the lobby and see the lads in the hotels restaraunt. "Hey lads, how's the craic, I'd like you all to meet Amy," says Ryan.
"Hello Amy, I'm Keith Harkin," says Keith. The rest of the lads introduce themselves.
"Ah, so this is Amy, hi nice to meet you I'm Paul," he replys. "That's it next show I'm asking Sharon for a dancer, Ryan always seems to get them," he adds.
"Hey guys, nice to meet you all as well," she replys. Everyone enjoys some food and drinks and it is time for the guys to leave, Amy and Ryan talking and holding each other, "Well I guess I'll talk to you later,' she adds giving him a kiss.
"I guess so, call you some time," he says pulling her in for another kiss before he gets on the bus.

The next couple of days come and go, with Amy trying to keep herself busy at practice, and Ryan on the bus going from city to city. "Ugh, I'm bored," says Amy after getting home from rehersal.
"Why don't you give Ryan a call," suggests Cindy.
"You know that's a good idea," says Amy grabing her phone she calls Ryan. "Hey Ryan," she adds.
"Aim, hey. How are you? missing me already" replys Ryan.
"I'm good,yeah abd having one of those long, boring nights. How are things going with you and the lads?" she asks.
"Things are good, we were just talking about you today," he answers.
"Really, is that a good thing," she replys.
"Yes, it was all good, oh I'm supossed to tell you, we'll be singing the national anthem at the celtics game in a few nights," he answers.
"What, you'll be back in Boston?" asks Amy extremely excited.
"Yeah, just for that night at teh game though, then we have to head off again," he replys.
"Hey, I'll take any time I can get," she answers. They continue talking into the early morning, Bye Ryan talk to you soon," Amy adds.
"Night Amy, talk to you soon, love you," says Ryan.
"O my god, did i just hear what I think I heard," says Amy thinking out loud.
"Yes you did Ames," grins Ryan.
'Gaa,' she thinks to herself. "Love you too Ryan," she says as she hangs up and gets ready for her day.
"She is so adorable," Ryan says to himself getting himself ready for bed and preparing for tomorrow with another show.

"Lads, hey how are you all," she replys.
"We're grand, you were looking great as usual," says Paul.
"Thank you Paul, but your flatery won't work, I'm a dark destroyer girl through and through," says Amy looking over at Ryan who is talking to Lindsey.
"Ah, well it was worth a shot," laughs Paul.
"Very true Paul, would you lads excuse me for a second," she says walking over toward Ryan and Lindsey who makes it a point to give Ryan a kiss just as Amy is right next to them.
"Lindsey, what are you doing?" says Ryan pushing her away.
"What, I thought we had something going here? No," replys Lindsey.
"No, is right. Amy is my girlfriend and that's not going to change any time soon," answers Ryan as Lindsey storms off.
"Wow, I must say that was quite interesting," says Amy. "What do you say to all of us getting out of here and going to grab a bite to eat and hang out before the game," she adds.
"Sounds like a plan to me, oh and we aren't leaving after the game tonight we are leaving tomorrow morning"answers Ryan.
"Thats great," replys Amy. The lads and Amy head to one of the pubs and enjoy lunch and are off to the hotel where the lads are staying and hang around the pool.

The game comes and the lads sing the national anthem and stay to watch the game which the Celtics win. "Well that was one of the best nights," replys Amy.
"Yes it was, I was able to see you and watch an awesome game," says Ryan. The guys head back to the hotel and Amy goes back to her house and gets ready to say bye to the guys the next morning.
Amy wakes up and drives over to the hotel to send the lads off, she meets them loading their suitcases on the bus. "Morning Amy," say the lads.
"Morning guys, how are we all," she replys.
"Grand Amy, how are you," they asks.
"Good, thanks. Where's Ryan at?" she asks.
"I think he's setting his things up on the bus," says Damian.
"Alright, thanks Damo," replys Amy heading over toward the bus. "Hey there Ry," she calls into the bus.
"Amy, hey there. What are you doing here?" he asks.
"Well I wanted to see my boyfriend off, I do have to say I love saying that. Since you're going back on the road" comments Amy.
"And I don't mind hearing it," states Ryan. "Well I guess they're ready, talk to you soon. Love you," he says giving her a kiss.
"Talk to you later, love you too," she says.
The next few weeks Ryan calls Amy several times and talk about how their days are going and some plans that Amy has for the Celtics off season. "Hey Ames, I have an idea," says Ryan.
"What's that Ryan," questions Amy.
"Well, I was thinking that after tour finishes, maybe we could go and visit your family," says Ryan.
"What, you actually want to visit my family," states Amy shocked.
"Yeah, I mean why not. I'm sure they're lovely people," comments Ryan.
"Ok, Ry we'll go with that." says Amy. They continue talking to the early hours of the morning.

After the tour whichends near mid December, while Amy has a small christmas break and Ryan and Amy have talked nearly everyday, Ryan's flight arrives in Boston to meet with Amy before they are off to meet her parents. "Hey Amy," replys Ryan.
"Hey Ryan, how are you? I missed you," Amy says.
"I'm good, missed you too," he says giving her a kiss. "So when do I get to we get to see the family," he adds.
"Wow you are ready for that aren't you," states Amy. "Well the flight leaves out tomorrow at 1215," she adds.
"Sounds great," he replys. They drive back to Amy and Cindy's house and have a nice meal that Amy prepared and enjoy a lovely meal and conversation, stay up to talk and watch TV. Amy has the guest room all set up for Ryan, Amy heads to bed while Ryan is still in the living room.
"Well, are we ready Ry," says Amy.
"Yep, so where exactly do your parents live," asks Ryan.
"They live in Minnesota now, but we used to live in Missouri," answers Amy. They get on the plane and are off to St. Paul and get the rental car and drive a couple hours to Duluth. "Well we're here," she adds pulling up in the drive way of a cute little cabin looking house. "Mom, Dad, I'm here," she says.
"Hey there Aim," her mom says.
"Hey mom, this is Ryan. Ryan this is my mom," Amy introduces.
"Lovely to meet you," Ryan tells her mom as Amy's dad walks in the room.
"Hey Aim, whose this," her dad asks.
"Dad this is Ryan, Ryan my dad," she states.
"Wonderful to meet you sir," says Ryan extending his hand. Ryan and her parents talk for a while, Ryan charming her parents with his sweet personality.
"Sir, your daughter is the most amazing and beautiful girl that I have ever met and I was hoping that I could ask your permission to marry her.
"As long as you promise to take care of her and treat her right," says her dad.
"Of course sir, she is the only thing that matters, I love her and can't bare the thought of anything happening to her," Ryan replys.

"You're welcome lad," says Amy's dad. Ryan and her dad both walk back into the livingroom and watch a little TV with her parents while they are waiting for supper to be ready. They finish eating and everyone is sitting and talking by the fireplace, Ryan being the smooth sweet guy that he is, goes back into the guest room that Amy's family has set up for them and grabs his guitar and treats everyone to a preformance, it getting late everyone is off to bed.
The next morning Amy and Ryan are off exploring the town, visiting some of the shops and the other sites that the city has to offer, and visiting some other little towns just a little while away. They have a fantastic time on their way back into town Ryan and Amy pull over at an outlook that looks over the lake just as the sun was setting, they look out at the lake that has beautiful orange streams from the sun quickly being clouded over with what looks to be a snow sky. "Amy, I love you with all my heart and soul and I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else, will you marry me?" Ryan asks taking her hand and down on one knee.
"Ryan, oh my god. Yes, of course yes I'll marry you," replys Amy as Ryan slips the ring on her finger and picks her up, and as if on cue from some romantic movie, it starts to lightly snow.

"Ryan, you are amazing. I didn't think that people did that anymore," says Amy.
"Well, civalry is not dead my dear and we Irish still like to do things the traditional way," replys Ryan.
"Ryan, so do you have any thing planned for today?" asks Amy.
"Nope, I think I'll let you take care of that," answers Ryan. Amy thinks about it for a while and she decides that she and Ryan will go ice skating. "Uh, Amy love, you might have to remind me how this goes, because I haven't skated in years," he adds. The two go out on the ice, Ryan having his arms around Amy's waist, they skate for a few hours and they meet up with Amy's parents and go out to eat.
