It was the night before Meagan and Kristy were set to fly to Ireland. They had talked every night on the pub chatroom. It was like they were the best of friends. Kristy had left her home town of Nanaimo the following week to meet Meagan in Vancouver. The girls spent that week sightseeing and checking out hot spots in British Columbia. They had talked about going to Ireland and they finally were going to do it. Meagan looked at her watch it was 7:45 am and their plane left the airport at 9am. The girls were already awake and had went down to the hotel lobby for breakfast. Kristy just smiled at Meagan. "You excited girl?" She asked. "Ohh yeah. Were going to go to Dublin, Derry.. everything else too," she replied. Kristy just laughed "All over Ireland, we are there for 6 weeks. Im so glad your mother agreed to let us go." Meagan just smiled as the girls got up to grab a cab & told the cab driver, "Vancouver airport please."

The girls finally arrived at the airport. Kristy was laughing as she paid the cab driver $10 and told him to keep the change. Meagan grabbed her leopard print suitcase, and Kristy got her lime green one, and the two girls headed into the airport. Their plane was calling all boarding passengers to head to gate 3 so the girls rushed. Handing the ticket lady their tickets and passports, the girl cofirmed them. It was less then 5 minutes and the girls were fighting over who got window seat in a section of 3 seats. The sterwardess interupted them. "Your seat number is on your tickets girls." They both looked and realized. There was an empty seat in between them. So Meagan didn't dare sit in it. A sterwardess guided a lady to her seat. It was the one between the two girls. The lady who was average height and blonde hair, with a nice Irish accent politely interupted Kristy. "I believe thats my seat between you two." Meagan looked up.. "Ohhhh." As she was about to get up, the lady said to Meagan, "You can have my seat if you like young lady." Meagan picked up her bag and moved over a seat. They finally all got buckled in, when the pilot, came across the intercom. "Enjoy your flight it will be a long one. Thank you for travelling with Tourism Ireland." The girls just sat back in their chairs. Kristy grabbed Meagan's hand, "Ireland Here we come," Kristy said to Meagan. "I cant wait to see Derry." Bestfriends forever. The lady couldnt help but see the excitement in the two girls eyes. They were finally up in the air and could release their seatbelts, as it was going be a long flight. The woman just smiled. "You girls going to Ireland? Im guessing." "Yes," Meagan replied. "Want to see it, been told its beautiful, and the hometowns of some amazing people," Kristy told her. The lady just smiled. "You girls will love it, I grew up in Ireland. Its my home." Kristy looked at her. "Well its nice to meet someone from Ireland," she said with a smile. "My name is Kristy," as she held out her hand. "And mine's Megan." The lady extended her hand to shake hands with both the girls. "Well my name is Sharon. I'm glad to be going home.. Just got my fix of Canada and the United States. I love it. Where are you girls from?" She asked. "Im from Nanaimo BC," Kristy replied. "And I'm from Omaha," Meagan told her. The 3 of them talked about amazing places they have been to & places the should go almost the whole trip. Besides that, during some of the trip they all caught some shut eye. While the two girls had their Ipod on, Sharon could faintly hear A Bird Without Wings, a song her friend and coworker had composed for one unique young lad.. It finally clued into her, these girls were Celtic Thunder fans. Thunderheads at that.. But why did they not recognize her she wondered... She sooner or later fell asleep too because it was pretty far. The pilot finally came over the intercom. "Fasten you seatbelts we will be landing in Dublin, Ireland In 5 minutes." Sharon perked up to wake the other girls. "Your here." Both girls looked out the windows it was more beautiful then they ever imagined. The plane landed and everyone got off the plane. They finally made it into the bay for the terminal, when Sharon yelled out to Kristy, "It was nice to meet you girls. Enjoy Ireland." Meagan blushed at how nice Irish people were and the two girls walked off. Sharon walked up and met her friend. "Who were the girls?" he asked. "Here from Canada, flew the whole trip with them." Sharon and the man walked off. Meagan and Kristy made their way out of the airport to reveal a big city. "Welcome to Dublin," a sign read. Kristy took a picture with it. It was going to be an amazing trip and the girls knew it.

The girls finally decided to catch their cab. The cab driver was talking in a very amazing Irish accent and Kristy was just mezmerized. They finally got to the hotel and Meagan had to smack Kristy to get her out of the daze. The girls paid the cab driver, what they owed him and Kristy just smiled and said bye, as the cab driver winked and drove off. Meagan just looked to Kristy. "Man girl! Not even here for an hour and your already swooning over the Irish guys! What is with you?" "I dunno," she answered. The girls walked into the hotel and checked in. They searched their hotel. It was amazing. It had amazing views of the city in Dublin. "So its 10am here in Ireland, what do you want to do. We obviously cant sleep or else we will never get use to the time change," Meagan said with a slight chuckle, just as Kristy's phone played Breaking Up is Hard to Do. Obviously meaning it was Kristine.. She flipped open her phone.. to read the text message.. “hey girly I miss you.. tell Meagan im thinking about her. I might come over this week il keep you posted love Kristine” Kristy showed it to Meagan. Both the girls were ecstatic. They decided they would go out and do some shopping and site seeing in Dublin for the day. And get up early tommorrow to go see some other city's in beautiuful Ireland.
"Hurry up," Meagan called to Kristy who had been getting ready for the past 20 minutes. "Shhhh Meagan.. Im almost done," she replied in a happy tone. Finally by 10:30 the girls finally left their hotel room to hit the streets of Dublin for the day. It was kinda cloudy.. but what sun does Ireland really get? They went through a lot of different shops. It was cool to see everything there was around Dublin. "Lets go to the Helix," she said with a smirk on her face. "I would love to see where they filmed that.. you know.. " The girls just laughed. Walking down the road, Kristy just smiled, as she pointed to an Irish pub, and being 18 both the girls could drink in Ireland so.. They decided they would head back to the hotel after a day of shopping. To get ready for a night out on the town. Their day was long, about 9 hours later. They made it back and it was 7pm. Kristy looked at her phone and realized she had 7 missed calls and 3 new text messages. They were all from Kristine. “I have a secret” “do you want to know my secret” “Im in Ireland! Where the heck are you? so much for suprise,” With that Kristy picked up the phone to call her. "Kristine.. Your here." "Im in the Lobby Kristy.. Call down so they let me in your room.." Kristy hung up the phone and called the front desk. "Kristine is staying with us. She arrived late. Please check her in Tyler." And with that she was off the phone. Five minutes later Kristine was greeted at the door by hugs from both Kristy and Meagan.. Meagan's smile just grew so big. Kristy kinda nudged her. "We are hitting the town tonight," Kristy said, " and Derry tommorrow," with a huge smile. Kristine just laughed. "Lets get dolled up and show these Irish guys how we party," she said with a laugh. The girls all got ready. Meagan came out of the bathroom in a knee length dress in a pale blue color, that kinda came off the shoulder a tiny bit and she paired it with a nice pair of black ballet flats. Kristine straightened Meagans hair and then tied it back in an offside pony hanging down on one side, and Kristy did her make-up with a little blue but added shimmer and glow to Meagan's already gorgeous cheeks. She looked amazing. Kristine changed into a form fitted burgandy dress that had a halter top that crossed over, and decided to pair it with a cute pair of tiny heels. Kristy couldnt help but straighen her hair but then decided to pin back her bangs and add some curls. With the amazing make-up job done by Meagan of red tinges with a little bit of mystery. The curls in her hair just made Kristine look breathtaking. "Im not wearing a dress yet," Kristy said as she came out in jeans. Kristine just looked at her. Meagan finally got her to sit down, so she could do her hair. It was pretty thick, but by the time she finished, it was like her hair was so shiny and radiant. Kristine had a lot of fun with Kristy's makeup adding a touch of life to her, made the sparkle in her blue eyes just pop out. The girls finished getting ready, as Kristy was still in her jeans. Kristine just smiled as she patted her on the back. "Strut your stuff babe." Meagan and Kristine told her to get her dress on. Kristy finally gave in, coming out of the bathroom in a black strapless dress that was just about knee length. It tied all the way up the back kinda like a corsett, and she paired it with a nice pair of black heels with silver rhinestones. Wearing the black, just made the red in her hair and the blueness of her eyes stand out. Everything was amazing. The girls grabbed their clutch purses and headed towards the elevator.

When they made it too the lobby of the hotel, the guy at the front desk couldnt stop checking out the three girls. Kristine just waved at him and he winked back at her. They decided they would all walk back to the Irish pub the girls walked past earlier that day. They finally made it there. They walked inside and it was a nice cozy type of pub. Everyone just kinda stared at the three girls. It was like they made an impression. Kristine, just put her arm around Kristy and Meagan. The three girls headed off to the bar, to grab their drinks. Opting out of alcholic beverages because it was the girls first night in Ireland, they decided to order a coke and ice. The girls turned to get their drinks when the bartender came to slide it to them. Kristy just smiled. The bartendar looked at little nervous. "Pardon my question, from America are you?" He smiled as he looked at Kristy. "Actaully I'm from Canada, and my friends here are from America." Then the girls heard an Irish voice coming from a man sitting a few stools down wearing a black hat. "Well well, I just came back from there," this voice said. The bartendar interupted, "Dont leave to early ladies, you will enjoy tonights performace!" With that the girls all looked at each other and turned around. "Wonder who it is?" Meagan said to Kristy. Kristine just looked confused, as she was still looking for the man down a few stools who had got up to leave somewhere. It bothered her and she wanted to know who he was. The girls just decided to go up to the dance floor, where there was a band playing amazing music. So they went. It was heaven on earth; they all felt so relaxed even though they knew 100 eyes were staring at them. Meanwhile backstage, the performer was peaking out too see the crowd he would be playing for tonight, except the three girls caught his eye first. They were gorgeous, he knew they were no ordinary Irish lasses, with the energy and ambition to dance these girls had. His friend came behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey lad. I thought I'd let you know I'm here." The man was still stunned by the girls he had just seen. "Lad," the other guy said again. "There are girls here from America," He told him. "Well," the performer patted the other man's shoulder, "I have a 6 song set tonight. Do you want 3, since you are here?" He looked at him as he decided. "Sure," He said as he told him he was going to take a seat for the first 3 songs. Meanwhile the girls took a seat and the Bartendar took the stage. "I'm Tyler by the way... and it's a honor, for me to still be able to itroduce this man, been best mates since college. So much for an accountant ey.. Please welcome none other then Ryan Kelly." Ryan walked out on the stage. He kinda playfully smacked Tyler and he laughed. "Best mates, that's for sure," he said. "How is everyones' night? As you all know, I just got back from the Canada Spring 2009 tour." "Yeah, yeah, Ryan.. You and them gorgeous Irish lads of yours," said one of the waitresses. Ryan just smirked. "You know me well Amy," he said with a smile. While at the front table Kristine, Kristy, and Meagan, were just totally zoned. They knew who this Irish lad was. They just didnt want to cause a scene. Ryans friend was sitting a table behind the girls. When Ryan started playing Broken Things, He leaned his arms in between Kristy & Kristine. "Dont tell me you can keep that quiet forever. It's not Thunderhead nature," he said in a gorgeous Irish voice they just reconginzed so well. Kristine knew it was the man who had talked to them earlier. They turned to look and their was Ryan's tour buddy, and close friend, sitting on a chair right behind them..The girls just smiled. Kristy blushed and Kristine was speechless.. Meagan just let out OMG Hiiiii …......

Sorry it took so long school kills ♥
"You're Paul as in Pau..." Kristy said before Paul Byrom himself took his finger, gently putting it on Kristy's lips, and whispering "Shhh... " All of them looked up to the stage to see Ryan himself. The dark haired man, with the crooked smile, but oh so gleamy eyes, sitting on the barstool propped up with a mic, and his guitar in his hand. “This song goes out to some special people here tonight, I guess you could call them Thunderheads,” Ryan said as he looked right at the girls, and then out to the crowd. Ryan slowly began to strum his hands on his guitar, but without a doubt Kristy recognized the song.. It was the first time she had heard it live thats for sure. And with that, Ryan and his smokey voice and amazing talent sang the soft, melting tune of A Village That They Call The Moy. As every word came out of his mouth you could sense the feeling and emotion behind the song. She and Kristine were in shock. "Leaving, it never is easy, there's no place like home is what they say..." He sang as the song finally ended. He finished his three song set with Broken Things and then Time After Time. Kristine was all smiles. Paul knew these girls were having the time of their lives. But then Ryan called Paul up himself. "Tonight is a special treat," he said, as Paul shot up out of his seat and ran up to the stage. He took over the mic from Ryan, and started randomly "craicing" up some jokes. "Isn't he a heartbreaker ladies?" The waitresses couldnt help but laugh. Ryan headed right back to the bar to grab a beer. As Paul took the mic, the lights dimmed and all they heard was the beginning lyrics to his new song, If I Could Cry. Kristine just smiled. She knew how much her friend Mindy would give anything to be here and hear this - Paul himself singing If I Could Cry. She just thought of that swanky poet shirt and the undone buttons. It was a miracle how much these girls had already seen in Ireland, and it was only their first day. Everyone seemed to have a good night. Music was played and everyone was dancing. Ryan was sitting at the bar. Beer was a good thing for the lad, but he was only on his second one. He was too intruiged by the girls. They seemed so interesting, so soft spoken and polite. The Irish men in the pub, really liked these girls too. They were just there to have fun, but Ryan had to find his way to talk to them. But Paul totally interupted his thinking. "Ry! Whats the craic? What are you doing over here?" he asked, while Amy was standing behind the bar talking to him. "I mean, come join the party!" Paul pulled off his hat and tried to drag Ryan off the bar stool. He looked back over to the dance floor to the three girls he just had to meet, or so he thought. They were no where to be seen. Meagan, Kristine and Kristy had ran outside. They had a sudden urge to dance in the Irish rain. Of course their nice curls, staightened hair, and dresses were getting drenched in water. But for a first night in Ireland, it was a good way to start. They took off their heels and were staring up at the stars as the rain fell on their cheeks. It was refreshing and very unbelievable. Meagan just looked at Kristy. "This is definetly going to be a trip I will remember forever!" she said as she hugged her. Kristine just smiled. "I'm glad we could all do this. I mean, 6 weeks and this is just one night she said." All of a sudden behind her, the door to the pub opened and all they could see was that man in the black hat again, but because it was dark they could not make out who it was. The girls all just laughed as they stared off into the hills of Ireland. All three of them held hands and just smiled looking at each other. "Lets make this a trip of a lifetime," said Kristine. "Something to remember forever," said Meagan. "A trip we will be sure to never forget," said Kristy. The girls all felt a warm hand touch their shoulders, making them jump as they turned around. "Dont do that!" they all yelled. The one guy, they already figured was Paul Byrom himself. But the other guy... "Oh my," Kristy said. "Ryan Kelly is standing right in front of me," she thought. The two lads just looked at the three girls as the rain was pouring down and they were out in their nice dresses, bare feet, and heels in hand. It had to be an attractive sight Meagan thought in her head. Paul just smiled. "We should go somewhere dry," Kristine laughed. "Uh yeah, might work." The girls knelt down to put their heels back on, as to not hurt their feet, and all of them made their way to a restaurant just up the street that was open 24hours.
