(Damian’s POV)
I was walking into the room where I would meet the rest of the guys that were picked for the group; I will admit I was extremely nervous because I was the only teenager of the group. I hoped they would like me, but I was very nervous just the same. I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped right into something and I got sent flying to the ground. When I hit the ground I must blacked out for a minute because the next thing I knew someone was asking if I was alright. I looked up and I saw someone with shaggy blond hair. He only looked about 5 or 6 years older than me.....
(Keith’s POV)
I was on my way to where Sharon told me to go. I was wondering if they were going to like me or not. Gosh was I nervous and I didn’t even know why I was! I’ve met people I’ve never seen before and made friends with them easily enough but why was I so nervous this time? I heard footsteps behind me. As I turned to see who it was I ran into someone and sent them flying across the floor, when that happened the person that I heard walking behind me started laughing. Forgetting about the laughing behind me I went to help him up and I got a look at his face; I realized it was just a kid. “Hey are you alright? I’m really sorry about knocking you down, I should have been looking where I was going? Oh, and me name's Keith, by the way.”
(Damian’s POV)
I heard someone asking if I was all right, “Hey are you alright? I’m really sorry about knocking you down I should have been looking where I was going.” “Oh and me names Keith by the way.” I sat up and looked at him before saying anything. I don’t know how long I stared for because he started snapping his fingers in front of my face. “I asked if you were alright? Maybe I should call a ambulance?” Heath said. At least that’s what I thought his name was. “No, I’m fine just a little dazed after falling. My name's Damian, and it’s nice to meet you Heath.” I said shaking his hand. Then he started laughing. “No, my names Keith.” He said. “Oh, sorry about that, Keith.” I said.My cheeks must have turned redder than tomatoes. Then we heard someone laughing; we both turned and saw……
Well this is my first story on Nox so let me know what you think and if I should continue. I hope you all like it so far.

(Paul’s POV)
As I was walking to the room where we would all meet I got lost until I saw someone with longer blond hair, so I took a chance that he was in the group and I followed him. I think he was talking to himself. He was really nervous about meeting people, he had to be part of the group. I think he heard me following him because he started turning around and when he did he ran some kid over and sent him flying. I was watching the whole thing happen while trying not to laugh. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and I just started laughing really loudly and they both looked at me like "What is his problem?" They just stared at me until I stopped laughing; I guess they didn’t think it was very funny. The kid started talking to me.
(Keith’s POV)
We both turned and saw this guy wearing a pink shirt and he was laughing at us! I’m just sitting there thinking "What is his problem?" when he finally stopped laughing and Damian started talking to him.
(Everyone's POV)
“Umm why are you laughing at us?” Damian asked. Still staring at Paul. “Well umm, I wasn’t really laughing at you guys. I laughing at, at, ok I was laughing at you guys but if you saw how funny you both looked when you bumped into each other you would be laughing too. My name is Paul, Paul Byrom,” he said, extending his hand to me. “I’m Damian and this is Keith, what are you doing here anyway?” Damian said shaking his hand. “Well I’m in this singing group you see and…” Paul started to say when Damian cut him off, “Wait you're in a singing group? I’m in a singing group too, and it’s called Celtic Thunder,” Damian said. They all just stared at each other until they heard footsteps coming: By now they were all thinking the same thing, "This is the next member of the group. What would he be like?"
(Damian’s POV)
I hope it’s someone my age. As the foot steps got closer I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding when I saw him walk up to us……
Ok this is the next part I hope you all like it so far. Please tell me what you think of it or if theres anyway I could make it better.

(Ryan’s POV)
I heard someone laughing as I walked through the hallway. When I walked up there was a kid with dark brown hair sitting on the ground with another younger looking guy I guessed to be in his early 20s with shaggy blond hair. If you ask me, he didn’t look very Irish; he looked like he was from California or something. The next guy had brown hair that he brushed to a point and he was wearing a pink shirt. I wanted to start laughing at his shirt but I thought that if we were going to be a group I should make a good impression first, so I introduced myself to them. “ Hi, my name's Ryan Kelly, I’m guessing your all part of the Celtic Thunder group,” I said and smiled. “Hi, Ryan, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Damian McGinty.” “And I’m Paul Byrom.” “Keith is me name and it will be a pleasure to work with you.”
(Everyone’s POV)
“So what was so funny?” Ryan asked, not knowing that was a sore spot with Damian and Keith. “Well,” said Paul, “I was on my way to the room that we’re all supposed to wait in when Keith here plowed right in to little Damian.” He said while laughing. Damian and Keith glared at Paul and Damian said, “This means war!" And don't call me little, because someday I will be taller than you!" “Damian there is nothing to upset about,” Said Paul, “We could all be friends. It’s going to be hard not to be, seeing as we’re all in the same group, right?” He did a little eyebrow dance, which made Ryan laugh. Keith and Damian then glared at Ryan. “Are you on his side then?” Asked Keith, who was looking right at Ryan. “I’m not on anybody’s side, I just thought the little eyebrow thing he did was funny that’s all.” Ryan said defending himself. Luckily Sharon walked up. “Hello everyone!” Sharon greeted, “I see you’ve almost all met each other, now we just need one more.” She smiled at everyone. “Why don’t we all go in?” she suggested. She told us all to follow her so we did.
Sorry it's short. But I hope you all like it!

(Damian’s POV)
Sharon told us to follow her in and when she opened the door I saw the most awesome stage. If you're in the audience, there was a piano on the left, and two sets of drums on either side of the stage at the very top. There were two orchestra pits on either side with a little walk way in the middle. I thought to myself, this is going to be so cool. When I saw how many people could fit into this place it made me nervous. Then the door opened and in walked a guy who was probably in his late 30’s early 40’s. He was bald but he made me happy when he walked in and I had never even met him before. He said his name was George. He was really nice to everyone.
(Everyone’s POV)
Sharon had everyone going over one of their songs until Phil got there. She said to try and memorize as much we could. Sharon went to get some water and when she left George started talking to everyone. “So has everyone met one another?” George asked, looking at each one of us. “Yeah, we’ve met,” Said Keith, looking at Paul. Damian also looked at Paul. Now everyone was looking at Paul. Just as Ryan was about to ask Keith and Damian why they were starring at Paul when Sharon walked in with the instrumentalists and the dancers introduced us all to them. Paul and Ryan both stared at Zara as she walked in the room.
(Keith and Damian’s POV)
Keith nudged me so I would look at Paul and Ryan staring at Zara, I almost started laughing until Sharon said practice would start. Keith and I walked over to where we would sing Heartland. But before we got all of the choreography we had to learn our words first.
(Damian’s POV)
I was having a lot of trouble with my Gaelic, so Sharon had Paul help me out. “Why hello Damian, I’m here to help you with your pronunciation, are ya ready?” Paul said, smiling at me. “Why do you have to help me? Can’t Ryan or Keith help me?” I said, almost whining. “Ryan is helping Keith, so I guess you’re stuck with me. Besides I’m not that bad once you get to know me,” he said, with a wink. He helped me for a long time. Even though I messed a lot of words up he never laughed at me once. It made me feel bad for being mad at him. Okay, it was time to practice Young Love; Paul had the idea of him, Ryan and Keith begging me for autographs and stuff like that. While I sing they are lying on the floor and swinging their legs back and forth and then they do a roll. I had to stop watching them because every time I did I started laughing and I had to restart the song! After that Keith has to leave the stage to get ready for his next song, but Paul and Ryan were supposed to wait until my song was almost over to run over to me with a pencil and paper for me to sign stuff with when Paul started doing this weird dancing. Ryan tried to follow along, and he did it pretty good; he just looked a little stiff. I was on my last line of the song and Paul bent down on one knee and Ryan did the same. Then I did the unexpected: after my song ended I put my hands on their shoulders and I pushed them over, threw my hat at them, and walked away. Sharon and Phil said we could keep it as long as I didn’t laugh in the middle of the song. Their dancing was kept for the show. It was only 3 weeks until the show, and I was getting excited and nervous.
Ok here is the next update! It's the last until tomorrow! I hope you all like it!

Time jump: 3 Weeks later the day of the concert.
(Paul’s POV)
It was our first show and everyone was nervous especially Damian being the youngest. I decided to go over and talk to him and try to get his mind off the concert it might have been me trying to get my mind off it too. “Hey Damian, what’s going on?” I asked him. “Hi, Paul, not much just trying to stop being nervous,” he said with a little shake to his voice. “Damian, listen to me! You will be great! I’m sure all the girls will love you.” I told him giving the eyebrows. He smiled and then punched me in the arm; I playfully pretended that it hurt, which made him laugh. Then we heard Phil’s voice start the beginning of Heartland, I looked over at Damian and he looked really nervous so I walked over to him and I put my arm around his shoulders and said, “Damian, I’ll be right there on stage with you so you don’t have to be nervous, Okay?” “But what I forget my words? Or part of the choreography?” He said to me with a worried look in his eye. “If you forget anything I will help you out!” I told him, he looked a little less nervous but then it was time for us to be on stage. Keith started out singing his part then we all sang the chorus, then it was Damian and George who sang next my solo was after the next chorus, which was coming after Damian George. I got through my solo but when it was Damian’s turn for his solo chorus line he just froze, so I started singing and he sang it with me. I think it sounded pretty good; well at least nobody threw rotten tomatoes at us. And after Heartland we were back stage, and Damian came over and he just looked at me and smiled. I think it was right then when we became best friends.
5 weeks later
(Damans POV)
“Why does my voice have to change now?” I asked myself, sitting in my bunk. I saw Paul walking up so I pretended to do my homework. “Hey Damo! What’s the craic?” He said to me, I don’t think he believed that I was doing my homework. “Oh, just working on some of this Math, and stuff,” I said a little to casual. “Damian,” He said, “I know your worried about your voice but it will all work out, my voice went through the changing process and I came out on the other end, and so will you,” he gave me a reassuring smile. “Thanks Paul you always know how to make me feel better!” I said, with a smile.
Here is the next update! The next one might be the last unless I decide to post it in two parts.

(Everyone’s POV) The beginning of the I.E. Tour
It was the first night of the It’s Entertainment concert and everyone was running around like mad men getting ready when the stage manager came out said they had 5 minutes. “Damian, are you nervous?” asked Paul, with eyebrow raised. “Yeah, I guess I am. I always think I’m going to mess up or something,” he said to Paul. “Damian like I told you on our very first concert, I’ll be right on stage with you, and if you forget anything I will help you out, Okay?” I said to him. “Okay thanks Paul.”
(Damian’s POV)
It is almost time for the Irelands Call, I’m going to make through the concert without messing up. Time to change into our Kilts; ugh I don’t know why we have to wear these things anyway.
(Paul’s POV)
We all walked out for Irelands call, George started singing and then Damian started singing with him. It was time to walk up to the stairs where Ryan and Keith sing their solo parts, but I guess Damian forgot that we weren’t supposed to go down’ yet, cause he started marching down the steps until I grabbed his shoulder. Keith was staring at Damian the whole time and when I grabbed his shoulder Keith wiped the sweat off his forehead like “Whew!”
(Keith’s POV)
I know it’s almost time for my solo because we walk up to the steps and stand there but Damian started going down the steps, oh no he’s going it’s all over, wait Paul just grabbed him whew. I don’t think Ryan even noticed.
(Ryan’s POV)
It’s almost time for my solo, we walk down to the steps and I sing my solo. I knew I could do it, why does everyone look like something just happened and I missed what it was. I will find out after the show.
(George’s POV)
I got through my solo at the beginning and now we were all marching to the top of the steps, what is that lad doing he’s not supposed to go down the steps now, should I grab him, good Paul grabbed him. Poor kid he looks embarrassed.
(Damian’s POV)
I can’t believe I just did that! I’m never going to live this down. Thank goodness Paul was there to stop me.
(Everyone’s POV) After the concert
“What happened? Why did everyone look like “Whew!” did I mess something up?” Ryan asked. “Well,” said Paul, “Damian started too walk down the stairs, but I stopped him. I don’t blame him though there is so much choreography I almost stepped wrong too.” He said smiling at Damian who looked sad because he messed up. “Yeah, it could have happened to anyone Damo,” said Keith with a grin. “But it would have been pretty funny if when Paul grabbed your shoulder you kept going and pulled him down with you!” He added with a laugh. “Come guys it’s time to have a party!” Sharon yelled to us. “Paul?” Damian said, “Thanks for not teasing me.” “No problem mate!” He said.
(Damian’s POV) At the party
“Remember in the beginning when we all first met?” asked Damian. “How could I forget running you over and then Paul laughing at us!” Keith said which made everyone laugh. “Were you really mad at me guys? Just for laughing at you?” Paul asked with a mischievous grin. “I think after you helped me with my Gaelic, I knew I liked you, I just didn’t want you to know that.” Damian said, said putting his hand on Paul’s shoulder. “I’m glad that we’re all friends now.” I said smiling.
The End
Sorry the ending is so crummy, I was running out of ideas so I thought I would end it. If anyone has any ideas for the ending just pm me. I hope you all liked it.

(Epilogue) It was the final night in the I. E. tour and everyone new that it was also Paul’s last night! Damian was taking it the hardest. When the final bows were over Damian could barely keep the tears from his eyes. “Paul, I wish you the best of luck with your solo career,” said George with a smile. “Paul, it’s been a great pleasure working with ya mate, even though you never let me teach you to surf.” Keith said. Ryan couldn’t find the words to say to Paul instead he just smiled and gave him a pat on the back. Damian couldn’t hold it back in anymore, the tears just started coming. Paul looked at him and said, “Damian, we’ll be able to see each other, and we can play wii over the Internet even though your probably sick of me beating you all the time.” Paul said, and Damian laughed a bit. “Paul, I don’t know what I’m going to do without you?” Damian said coming over and hugging Paul. “You’ll be fine Damo.” Paul said reassuringly, by this time the others left the room so they could be alone together. “Thanks Paul, you’ve been the greatest friend,” he said, “and just because your staying here in New York doesn’t mean I’m not going to visit you when ever I want because I am, and you better be ready.” He said, Paul laughed and put his arm around his shoulders and they went to join the others.
Sorry it's not very good, it's all I could come up with!
